The objective of this paper is to propose a set of guidelines to establish an office of Student Accessibility Services (SAS) in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The proposed guidelines help to integrate disjointed knowledge to facilitate its interpretation and implementation during deployment of basic support services in favor of students with disability. These guidelines can help to mitigate complexity in providing SAS for the first time in HEIs. These guidelines cover both the design and implementation of an office of SAS and its management. Knowledge was found through a multivocal literature review (MLR), which allowed to capture not only academic approaches but also vantage points and experiences from practice. Key concepts and aspects were organized into eight components (five related to the design and implementation, and three associated with the management context). An expert appraisal method was used as a proof of concept, which complemented a previously performed preliminary implementation example. Obtained results demonstrated the pertinence of the conceptual proposal and confirmed guidelines capability for full implementation in a real-world scenario.

Voxel representations provide a simple way to represent three-dimensional objects as binary occupancy signals, but dense voxel grids and direct sparse encodings remain costly at medium and high resolutions. This paper addresses the gap between conventional dense-grid, octree, and point-cloud-codec representations and deterministic contour-first source serialization for exact binary voxel occupancy. We propose a contour-based chain-code serialization that decomposes a voxel grid into two-dimensional slices, extracts foreground components and holes, encodes their contours using F4, 3OT, and F8 variants, and separates contour symbols from positional metadata before applying general-purpose lossless compression. The method is evaluated on 3983 ModelNet40-derived voxelized objects across 40 classes and resolutions N = 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, and 512, using the X-axis for the main evaluation. It is compared against OCC1, BINVOX, breadth-first octree masks, and geometry-only G-PCC. The proposed streams are not competitive at N = 8, where zstd-compressed octree masks achieve the best mean bpv. From N = 16 onward, however, the best proposed stream outperforms the strongest evaluated baseline, with gains increasing from 20.93% at N = 16 to 84.37% at N = 512. The best proposed configuration is zstd + 3OT at N = 8 and N = 16, while zstd + F8 dominates from N = 32 through N = 512. Entropy, ablation, timing, memory, and validation analyses further show that the advantage comes from the interaction between contour-aware source serialization and backend compression, rather than from the backend compressor alone.
