Emergence as a Contemporary Design Methodology in Furniture Design

Many companies' recruitment procedures entail the manual evaluation of several resumes, which is laborious and prone to human bias. In order to overcome this difficulty, this project suggests an AI-based Resume Screening and Career Path Recommendation System that evaluates candidates automatically and makes recommendations for appropriate career pathways based on each person's talents and qualifications. The system makes advantage of contemporary web technologies, such as Tailwind CSS for effective and responsive user interface design and Next.js for frontend development. Resumes are processed using a Python backend program that extracts pertinent data, including education, experience, and abilities. A machine learning model called Logistic Regression is used to analyse the gathered data and forecast the suitability of candidates for particular positions. The suggested approach seeks to shorten the hiring process, increase the accuracy of screening, and help applicants choose the right career path. The platform improves applicant career planning and recruiter productivity by utilising data-driven approaches and artificial intelligence. The system is a useful tool for contemporary recruiting and talent management systems since experimental evaluation shows that it can efficiently classify resumes and produce insightful career recommendations. By comparing candidate skill profiles with industry role requirements, the system not only screens resumes but also suggests possible career routes. This gives consumers information about employment options that fit their skills and interests. Supabase is the database solution that allows for effective data management while safely storing user data, resumes, and model outputs. Scalability, quick processing, and better decision-making are guaranteed in recruitment workflows when machine learning is integrated with a contemporary full-stack architecture.

The study analyses how Antoni Gaudí’s legacy is reinterpreted in contemporary architecture, urban art and digital mediations. Combining a morphological and performative approach focused on motifs such as trencadís, organic geometries and growth simulations with an urban and cultural approach, Gaudí is studied as an urban attractor and an identity resource. In turn, artistic work linked to his buildings is subjected to tensions between heritage preservation, touristification and artistic experimentation. Methodologically, a documentary review and analysis are carried out of architectural referents, Hundertwasser, Bofill and Calatrava; urban artists who employ mosaics and ceramics, Invader, Ememem; and recent cases such as videomapping of Casa Batlló, digital projections on the Sagrada Família and murals with Gaudian iconography in Barcelona and Milan. The results reveal the existence of a “living Gaudí” that, between critique and spectacle, through culture contributes to the construction of an urban identity.

This paper investigates the emergence of design management as a professional practice through historical analysis of Michael Farr (Design Integration), founded in 1961 as Europe’s first independent design management consultancy. Drawing on materials from the V&A Archive of Art & Design, supported by secondary sources, it examines how MFDI occupied a jurisdictional gap between design practice and business management in post-war Britain. Using Abbott’s theory of professional jurisdiction, the study shows how Farr sought to define and legitimise this new professional role. A key influence was Bruce Archer and the emerging Design Methods movement, whose systematic approaches shaped MFDI’s organizational model and operational philosophy. Archer’s frameworks guided the coordination of remote freelance designers and the structuring of design processes. By analysing these early experiments, the paper sheds light on the challenges of professionalising design management, establishing legitimacy, and coordinating knowledge-intensive work – issues that still resonate in contemporary design practice and consultancy.

The fast development of digital learning technologies has re-imagined the interaction between students and educational material; however, there are still numerous platforms that are struggling with poor engagement and inability to perform a seamless personalization. EduAssist is proposed as an adaptive learning tool, providing gamified educational data to enhance the performance of students and their motivation. The system integrates customized testing, feedback loops, and gamification to allow learner-improving and interactive learning experience. EduAssist pinpoints the area of weakness of learners using adaptive assessment and performance analytics and constructs specific recommendations with the help of AI-based feedback. The system ensures motivation by employing gamification elements (XP points, streak tracking, and achievement badges) that you get upon progress and can aid to build the habit of learning. Developed on the basis of contemporary web architecture based on Next.js, NestJS, and MongoDB, EduAssist is scaled, responsive, and provides safe data processing. The outcomes of Pilot evaluation and prototype testing show that individualized feedback and adaptive learning flows contribute to better engagement and perceived skill development among the learners. The platform demonstrates how academic learning environments can address the motivation-mastery gap through the use of personalization and data-driven gamification.

This study focuses on the costume culture depicted in Tang Dynasty Dunhuang murals, exploring its digital translation and integration into contemporary fashion design. It aims to address the research question of how ancient mural art can merge with digital fashion design. A combination of iconographic analysis, practice-based research, and 3D digital reconstruction was employed to systematically examine and reinterpret the form, color, and structure of Dunhuang mural costumes. The findings reveal that these costumes feature flowing lines, balanced silhouettes, and vivid color palettes, reflecting the Tang Dynasty’s aesthetic ideals of grandeur, vitality, and harmony with nature. Through digital reconstruction and creative experimentation, the study successfully transforms traditional Dunhuang costume elements into digital fashion works that embody both cultural depth and modern aesthetics. The innovation of this study lies in introducing a digital fashion design perspective to systematically analyze the aesthetic structure of Dunhuang mural costumes, establishing a translation pathway from traditional imagery to digital fashion, and demonstrating that the fusion of traditional aesthetics and digital technologies not only broadens the expressive language of contemporary fashion design but also contributes to the preservation, inheritance, and global dissemination of cultural heritage.

This study addresses a critical gap in Egyptian independent theatre research concerning the lack of empirically grounded evaluation of scenic background limitations and the applied potential of projection mapping as a digital scenography strategy. The study investigates three core dimensions: cost efficiency, scene transition time, and audience engagement. It asks: (1) What are the primary operational challenges of traditional scenic backgrounds in Egyptian independent theatre? (2) To what extent can projection mapping improve production efficiency and audience immersion? (3) How does digital scenography align with contemporary scenic design theory? A convergent mixed-methods design was employed (n = 600 survey respondents; 15 expert interviews). Statistical analysis showed significant positive correlations between cost constraints and support for projection mapping (r = .66, p < .001) and between transition inefficiency and digital adoption preference (r = .71, p < .001). Comparative production modeling indicated mean cost reductions of 66% and transition time reduction of 80%. The study contributes theoretically by operationalizing Gillette’s Scenic Design framework within digital scenography and empirically by providing large-sample stakeholder data from an under-researched theatre ecosystem. Findings position projection mapping as a structurally transformative scenographic model rather than a merely technical enhancement.

This study explores the role of language as a visual strategy in the construction of graphic product identity within the creative industry. In the context of visual communication design, language is commonly understood as a verbal element used to convey information. However, in contemporary graphic product design, language undergoes a transformation into a visual element that contributes to the formation of visual identity, branding, and product differentiation. This research aims to analyze how language functions as a visual strategy in graphic product design, particularly in shaping product identity and strengthening its position in the creative industry. The study employs a mixed-methods approach by combining qualitative visual analysis and quantitative consumer perception analysis. The qualitative approach is used to examine typographic forms, visual composition, and the integration of language with other visual elements, while the quantitative approach is used to measure consumer perceptions of visual identity, product uniqueness, and purchase intention. The findings indicate that language, when treated as a visual element, plays a significant role in constructing graphic product identity. Through typographic exploration and visual composition, language contributes to the creation of visual uniqueness, cultural representation, and product differentiation. Furthermore, the use of language enhances consumer perception in terms of visual appeal, identity recognition, and emotional connection to cultural values. This study contributes to the development of visual communication design by proposing the concept of language as a visual strategy in graphic product identity. It highlights the role of graphic product design not only as a visual artifact but also as a strategic medium for identity construction, branding, and differentiation in the creative industry.

The article traces the emergence and development of DCCC (Dnipro Center for Contemporary Culture) as a civic-driven institution that combines the presentation of contemporary artistic practices with sustained engagement with local contexts and urban communities. It outlines how an initiative shaped in the aftermath of the Revolution of Dignity—centered on the audiovisual and new media festival Konstruktsiia (since 2015)—evolved from a primarily “virtual” presence into multiple attempts to secure a permanent venue, culminating in a prototype: the temporary public space Stage:Stage (2017). The project’s international recognition (Special Mention at the European Prize for Urban Public Space 2018 and nomination for the EU Prize for Contemporary Architecture—Mies van der Rohe Award) is discussed as a turning point that helped enable negotiations for a long-term home. The text describes the launch of DCCC in the former provincial zemstvo building on Krutohirnyi Uzviz, the ongoing restoration process, and the residency-based institutional model bringing together NGO Kultura Medialna, Artsvit Gallery, and Alliance Française. Particular attention is paid to institutional transformations during Russia’s full-scale invasion: from suspension of activities to the establishment of a social hub (2022), and later the gradual return to programming (2023–2024) through the initiative “DCCC: We Work,” expanded international partnerships, and new infrastructures such as a 51-seat cinema, an Experimental Studio, and a concept shop as a critical design project. The article also maps DCCC’s core program lines—exhibitions, education, residencies, and film programs—as tools for supporting cultural life under wartime conditions

Molecular docking is a foundational technique in computational drug discovery, widely used to generate binding hypotheses, prioritize compounds, and support target-selectivity studies. The continued growth of open-source docking resources, together with improvements in scoring functions, sampling strategies, and hardware acceleration, has substantially lowered barriers to teaching, early-stage hit identification, and reproducible research. Beyond standalone docking engines, the open-source ecosystem now encompasses browser-accessible tools, preparation and analysis utilities, integrative modeling platforms, and AI-augmented methods for pose prediction, rescoring, and virtual screening. These developments have made docking workflows more accessible, customizable, and transparent across diverse research settings. This review examines open-source docking from a workflow-centered perspective, spanning study design, structural-data acquisition, binding-site definition, receptor and ligand preparation, docking execution, and post-docking validation. It further evaluates how open AI methods are being incorporated into these stages to expand structural coverage, improve screening efficiency, and support contemporary structure-based drug design. Collectively, this review outlines a practical and evidence-based framework for the effective use of open-source docking and virtual-screening pipelines in modern drug discovery.

Warli art is one of the most prominent tribal art forms of India, originating from the Warli tribe of Maharashtra. Recognized for its simple geometric forms, monochromatic palette, and depiction of nature, rituals, and community life, Warli art reflects indigenous knowledge systems and deeply rooted cultural narratives. Traditionally executed using white pigment on earthen brown surfaces, this art form serves as a visual language that communicates social values, beliefs, and harmonious coexistence with nature. In recent years, the fashion and textile industry has shown increasing interest in incorporating traditional art forms into contemporary design practices as a means of promoting sustainability, cultural preservation, and ethical design. This study explores the adaptation of Warli art motifs into contemporary textile design for fashion and lifestyle applications. The research process involves systematic motif extraction from traditional Warli paintings, followed by stylization and design development while retaining the essence and symbolic significance of the original art form. Both traditional and modern textile techniques such as hand block printing, screen printing, embroidery, and digital printing are explored for motif application on various fabrics. The study further evaluates the design potential, relevance, and acceptance of Warli-inspired textiles through visual analysis and user feedback. Findings indicate that Warli motifs, when sensitively adapted and thoughtfully placed, enhance the aesthetic appeal of contemporary fashion products while maintaining cultural authenticity. The research focuses on motif extraction, stylization, design development, and application through traditional and modern textile techniques. The study also evaluates the relevance, acceptance, and design potential of Warli-inspired textiles in contemporary fashion. The findings indicate that Warli art motifs, when thoughtfully adapted, can successfully enhance modern fashion and lifestyle products while preserving cultural authenticity.

This paper investigates traditional practices and products and their relationship to current understandings of slow design and the regeneration of local crafts. Drawing on the Portuguese Arraiolos hand-embroidered rugs and the Indian Lawan’s Panja Durries, it discusses traditional making practices in terms of the four elements of meaning-based Quadruple Bottom Line of Design for Sustainability as an analytical lens. The study follows an ethnographic approach combining fieldwork, interviews and observational research in Arraiolos and Lawan, involving the study of techniques used in the process based on primary firsthand data gathering and secondary data analysis. Findings reveal that traditional methods, developed over centuries in harmony with local ecosystems and resource scarcity, inherently incorporate eco-friendly practices. This research proposes integrating these traditional practices into contemporary design education, policy support, and digital platforms to ensure their long-term viability.

This paper introduces entrapment as a socio-cognitive pathway of gaming persistence that complements the gratification-compensation sequence in the I-PACE framework. Drawing on escalation-of-commitment theory, identity maintenance, sunk-cost reasoning, and social obligations, we argue that contemporary game architectures, especially gacha systems, transform cumulative investments of time, money, and identity into barriers against disengagement. Empirical signals, including sunk-cost effects, gaming-contingent self-worth, loss aversion, and amotivation, indicate that after initial gratification, persistence may become decoupled from enjoyment and remain both measurable and clinically relevant. Entrapment is not a universal endpoint but an optional trajectory, clarifying why some players continue "without joy" and underscoring implications for assessment, intervention, and responsible design.

Survivorship of Cemented Versus Cementless Total Knee Arthroplasty Using the Same Contemporary Design: A Minimum Five-Year Follow-Up Study.

The integration of local wisdom into product design is becoming increasingly important in the digital era, especially as cultural heritage faces the risk of marginalization due to globalization and rapid technological advancements. The purpose of this study is to examine how local wisdom can be preserved, transformed, and reinterpreted through the implementation of practices in product design supported by digital technology, positioning design as a medium for sustainability and cultural innovation. This study adopted a qualitative research approach, which used a literature review and comparative analysis of selected case studies in contemporary product design. Data were collected from academic journals, scientific books, and design documentation focusing on cultural heritage, digital design processes, and sustainable design practices. Digital technologies, such as digital modelling parametric design, and digital fabrication, enable the reinterpretation of local wisdom into contemporary design products without diminishing their symbolic meaning. The integration of cultural values in digitally driven design processes can enhance product identity and cultural relevance. Furthermore, products that incorporate local wisdom demonstrate strong potential for long-term differentiation and resilience of national culture in the global market. In conclusion, product design based on local wisdom can serve as a sustainable cultural heritage strategy in the digital age if supported by ethical design principles and a strong sense of national culture.

Background: The orthopedic biomedical implants industry is undergoing a surge in demand all over the world due to the growing ageing population, the growing life expectancy, and the growing number of high-impact traumatic injuries. Although the present-day implants used in joint replacement, spinal fixation, and bone regeneration are very effective in enhancing mobility and the quality of life of the patients, biological and mechanical complications tend to reduce the success of implants in the long-term. Stress shielding, osteolysis associated with wear, and biofilm-related infections are still some of the main factors that lead to revision surgeries. Objective: This paper seeks to offer an extensive assessment of the present situation regarding orthopedic implants. It is dedicated to the interaction of material science, biomechanical needs, and high-end surface engineering to respond to current failure modes and suggest a structure of the next-generation regenerative devices. Material and Methods: The systematic review and analysis were done on four main types of materials namely metals, polymers, ceramics and composites. The paper proposes the analysis of the contemporary manufacturing and design technologies integration (AI-driven CAD/CAM systems, additive manufacturing (3D printing) to create patient-tailored geometries, and nanostructured coating deposition). As criteria of evaluation, such factors as the potential of the bio-integration of the material and wear resistance and the biomechanical compatibility between biodegradable metallic alloys and the stimuli-responsible materials as the smart ones was taken into consideration. Results: It is demonstrated in the analysis that the developments in additive manufacturing can enable the production of porous, biomimetic, structures that can reduce the stress shielding greatly because of its comparable elastic modulus to natural bone. Moreover, nanostructured surface layers and the creation of biodegradable alloys (e.g., made of magnesium) has a considerable amount of potential in the stimulation of bone cell adhesion and the minimization of foreign body retention when present over extended periods. It was concluded that the AI implant design phase enhanced the optimization of the implant geometry, thereby decreasing the rate of mechanical failure. Nonetheless, regardless of such technical advances, the key challenges of long-term stability are control of immune response and avoidance of microbial colonization (biofilms). Conclusion: Active regeneration is the future of orthopedics due to the fact that it succeeds the passive fixation. Integration of the multi-scale innovations - nano-engineering to real time monitoring with intelligent systems creates a strategic framework of next-generation implants. The research finds that a combined method of predictive design and infection-resistant materials is the only way to decrease the revision rates and attain high-quality and dynamic clinical results.

The Architectural Intent is a spoken language without any sounds; it extends the forms, lines, and even materials. The designer uses his intent to express his own design view, which is not related to the function or elements. From this point of view, the Architectural Intent is used as a tool to analyse and understand contemporary Architecture and its identity renewal types. This study aimed to explore the effect of the Architectural intent types (the individual, the collective, and the hybrid) on the present Iraqi Architecture Identity formation, by using four central dimensions; The Design Vision, the Architectural Purpose, the stylistic affiliation, and the position of heritage. This study used the applied analytical Methodology which is the most effective Methodology to explore the study goals with a subjective approach. By four local case studies of the present most outstanding Iraqi Design Projects: Iraqi Central Bank tower (ICB), Bismayah City, Bodor Al-Najaf, and General Secretariat of the Iraqi Council of Ministers building (GSICM) projects. The main outcomes of this Study, the Hybrid type of the architectural intent had the common characteristics for both other types, therefore it refers to the balanced route to produce a present local identity architecture. The main recommendations were to strength the hybrid intent by using it as a strategic connectivity tool between Man and his built-up environment.
