Abstract
Augmented reality (AR) technologies are reaching a maturity level where organizations in various business sectors can successfully incorporate them in their business activities. On its more developed spectrum, AR can deliver immersive multisensory environments in a 360 degrees virtual space. In what concerns the tourism sector, there are several possible applications of AR solutions with a significant prospect impact to organizations, tourists and, most importantly, territories. By acknowledging the issues associated with adopting disruptive information and communication technologies by activity sectors with less technology-awareness, in the current article we present a focused analysis to existing literature on the adoption of AR and, as a result of this, a conceptual model proposal aimed at explaining the adoption of AR by tourism related organizations with activity in low density territories.

Alfabetización digital, lengua y literatura en la cibercultura: los ‘fanfics’ como recurso pedagógico

Abstract
Este estudio busca discutir y analizar, cualitativamente, la articulación de los fanfics como recurso didáctico para la enseñanza de lengua y literatura hispánica y sus implicaciones en el alfabetismo digital de los lectores. Se utiliza como marco teórico: Lemos (2009 e 2015), Alves (2015), Buzato (2004 and 2013), Coscarelli (2009), Vargas (2005), Neves (2014), Azzari & Custodio (2013), Almeida (2013), Almeida & Pais (2012), Cope & Kalantzis (2006) y Schlemmer (2010, 2013 y 2014). Se concluye que la enseñanza de lengua y literatura, en soporte digital, contribuye al alfabetismo digital; la escuela necesita apropiarse de nuevas actitudes para acompañar los cambios culturales en las prácticas sociales pertinentes a la inserción e inmersión de nuevas tecnologías, además de promover momentos de interacción, reflexión y discusión sobre literatura, lectura y autoría. Este género (fanfics), cuando se utiliza de forma dinámica, funciona como un objeto fronterizo entre dos mundos o mentalidades y además del más lleva al interior del aula la vivencia y práctica social de los jóvenes.

Abstract
The growing number of energy consuming devices, together with the increasing demand for energy, has led to an energy crisis in the world today. As electricity is an important factor for the development in the economic growth. At this time, the growing population will bring disaster situations relating to electrical energy and pollution; it will affect both the economy and the citizens and make a barrier in the path to complete with developed countries. In order to overcome the epileptic situation of electrical energy and make our environment clean and green. First, we need to give opportunities for renewable energy to address electricity generation. Second, there is no other way to reduce complexity and eliminate energy problem without using solar energy. The solar energy which is renewable energy, environmental friendly and free of cost but still we face difficulty by complete harnessing of solar energy because of variation of irradiation and temperature to get constant point at the output we will use PI controller.Moreover, there is different classification of inverter we used "PWM inverter" that can take steady DC voltage PWM inverter can take in a steady dc voltage. So as to feed solar voltage to the boost converter to step-up solar voltage we used PI controller to control boost converter and get constant voltage at the output the we feed this boost DC voltage to the 3phase PWM inverter to converter into three phase AC voltage. Finally, the inverter should direct the extent and the recurrence of AC output voltages, and the diode rectifiers are required to settle the line-to-line voltage.

Abstract
The blue economy potential is envisioned to increase the activity at the ocean worldwide in the coming years. To support these activities and the convergence to the Internet of Moving Things, Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) are considered viable platforms to enable a large number of missions, including border surveillance and environmental monitoring. Typically, USVs use Wi-Fi for communicating with shore. However, in the literature, there is a lack of studies characterizing the shore-to-USV Wi-Fi link. This paper studies the influence of distance and USV orientation on the shore-to-USV link quality at the 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) bands. The study is supported by experimental results, collected during sea trials. For the 2.4 GHz band, we conclude that neither the Two-Ray propagation model nor the Friis propagation model allow a good fit to the experimental measurements. On the other hand, for the 5 GHz band, the Friis propagation model fits the obtained experimental results.

Abstract
In this paper, an agent-based model is proposed to improve the electricity market efficiency by using different demand response programs (DRPs). In the proposed model, the strategic self-scheduling of each market player in the electricity market and consequent market interactions are considered by using a game theoretic model powered by a security constrained unit commitment. The tariffs of price-based DRPs and the amount of incentive in the incentive-based DRPs are optimized. Furthermore, a market power index and the operation cost are used to evaluate the market efficiency by using a multi-objective decision-making approach. The results show that different types of DRPs differently affect the oligopolistic behavior of market players, and the potential of market power in power systems can be mitigated by employing the proposed model for DRP optimization. Numerical studies reveal that applying combinational DRPs is more efficient when the regulatory body considers both economic and market power targets.
