Abstract
Although recent studies have recognised that sustainability and resilience should be considered part of the same efforts in the context of a transformative perspective, research combining both constructs is still scarce. This study adopts a comprehensive perspective that acknowledges that maintaining business continuity (through persisting, adapting or transforming), to reduce long-term risks is a common aspect of sustainability and resilience. It aims to identify strategies to be applied by companies and SCs in order to increase their social, environmental and economic sustainability, as well as their ability to be ready, respond and recover from unexpected events. Considering that the actions and strategies to deal with sustainability and resilience can be different and eventually paradoxical, this work applies the organizational ambidexterity approach as a theoretical background.

Abstract
This study reflects the assumption that all links in a supply chain (SC) must share responsibility for socio-environmental issues. One of the main barriers to ensuring the sustainability of an SC is the difficulty in accessing partners' information, especially beyond the first tier. Due to the great geographical dispersion, large number of small companies, and, mainly, the growth of the fast fashion industry, the textile sector is recognised as a priority when it comes to social sustainability issues. Moreover, consumers are increasingly demanding information about the social footprint of products. Thus, this paper aims to contribute to a better understanding of how SC visibility can contribute to increasing the social sustainability of textile SCs. Using a longitudinal perspective and adopting mixed methods integrated into a design science strategy, we evaluate SC visibility in the context of two Portuguese textile supply chains, before and after the development of a technology-based solution.

Abstract
Traffic flow prediction is a critical component of intelligent transportation systems. This study introduces a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) neural network for predicting traffic flow. The model utilizes traffic, weather, and holiday data. To evaluate the model's performance, three experiments were assessed: E1, using all available inputs; E2, excluding weather conditions; and E3 excluding holiday information. The model was trained using the previous 3, 12, and 24 h of data to predict traffic flow for the next 12 h, and its performance was compared with a LSTM model. Traffic predictions benefit from having a large and diverse dataset. Bi-LSTM model can capture temporal patterns more effectively than the LSTM. The MAPE value is improved in around 1% when we increase the historical from 3h to 24 h, plus 1% if Bi-LSTM model is used. Better results are obtained when contextual information is provided. These results reinforce the potential that deep learning models have in the prediction of traffic conditions and the impact of a large and varied dataset in the accuracy of these predictions.

Abstract
As storytelling influences consumer attitudes and opinions, conditioning the tourist experience by appealing to the imagination, this paper reviews the literature covering the analysis of 66 papers that focus on the storytelling of the visitor/tourist as the main subject. The article is divided into four main themes: (a) storytelling as a tool to attract tourists; (b) the role of the storyteller; (c) the tourist as a storyteller; and (d) what makes a good story. The Hoshin Kanri Matrix was used to showcase each of the main themes. Although storytelling has been widely used to attract tourists, it is crucial that tourist-based storytelling can be a credible substitute for destination-based storytelling, as empathy, authenticity and the emotional attachment of tourists as storytellers play an important role as good stories, transforming and co-creating their experiences that emerge from the interaction of tourists, residents, and intermediaries.

Abstract
Technological evolution is very present in today’s world. The Internet of Everything (IoE) is one of the next steps in this evolution. WordPress is a website-building tool that is used today to its minimum capability. The main problem is how to make WordPress customizable and reliable to support device networking and communication. This can be done by implementing a new architecture that supports WordPress as a powerful tool, allowing for scalability and maintenance. The adoption of a recent trend known as DevOps is an important step in creating and developing a strong website and ensuring its integration with multiple devices. It emphasizes continuous testing, delivery, and integration. This article is based on a literature review to justify using micro-services architecture and the DevOps approach to build a reliable and robust working tool in WordPress that can be part of the IoE. © ICST Institute for Computer Sciences, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering 2025.

Abstract
The current era where living demands an accelerated digital transition mainly focused on encouraging a smarter, healthier, and more sustainable mobility, in all its dimensions – a must concern for the young generations. The convergence through several digital services and APP can be an attitudes and perception changer within the group of academic mobility users’, promoting a more sustainable and better mobility choices that impact on the academic user’s mobility routines. Thus, encouraging a global shift to shared and active mobility services and systems bringing significant contributions to environmental sustainability and, also, to users’ health. The Academic Mobility as a Service (AMaaS) provide a digital service with mobility alternatives to support the academic population geographically located in different faculty campuses and Higher Education Institutions (HEI). The AMaaS applied to a restrict group is helpful to test innovative transport solutions and its high cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Despite the shortage of AMaaS case studies and the lack of security reference, it is imperative that a cybersecurity by design is planned and included in AMaaS design. In this paper AMaaS critical cybersecurity challenges, and potential risks are discussed and AMaaS Security by Design framework is described. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.
