Abstract
Portugal is a country with a large coastal extension and a fishing and sea tradition which place it on the top of fresh, salty and deep-frozen fish consumption in the European Union. The incapacity by consumers to evaluate the degree of freshness and quality of fish for consumption may cause health problems, such as food poisoning, hence the preference of consumers for deep-frozen products instead of healthier fish that is sold fresh. In this project we intend to contribute to an improvement in the evaluation by the final consumer of the quality of fresh fish sold to them through creating a reference table of fish degradation (at this experimental stage for mackerel and sardine) and the development of a mobile application allowing, in a near future, for users to determine the rate of freshness of fish they wish to acquire. The reference table creation is based on the degradation/dehydration of the fish’s eye as well as a respective coloration (opaqueness), which changes according to the time since the fish was caught. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.

Abstract
In this paper, we propose an innovative approach to integrate the wastewater treatment (WWT) that is carried out in a set of plants and the anaerobic digestion (AD) that is carried out in a different set of plants, all from the same system. The aim is to contribute to sustainability improvements (e.g., cost reduction and environmental and social benefits) within the system. The main drivers that support this approach are the existence of unutilized capacity in some digesters and the possibility of reducing the process sludge age to maintain its biogas potential during the aerobic treatment in the plants without AD facilities. Furthermore, the effect of co-digestion as a means of enhancing the amount of biogas that can be produced through the sludge is also considered. This innovative approach leads to a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model to optimize the sludge flows that connect the plants without AD facilities to the ones with anaerobic digesters. The developed approach was applied to a Portuguese water utility and the results provide new insights for an optimized sludge management process of WWTPs, also indicating that the economic benefit obtained from the proposed strategy for sludge management can lead to a reduction of up to 23.5% in terms of current energy costs.

Abstract
The media sector is constantly evolving and, in the last few years, such evolution has been driven by a number of convergence paradigms, notably, that between broadband and broadcast technologies with the introduction of IT and IP technology. The present trend is to switch totally from a closed niche that uses highly specialized equipment to off-the-shelf IT-centric solutions, offering easy configuration and remote operation. The aim is to enable common computers to be turned into highly capable media devices and act as connected objects adopting an IoT-like paradigm. This vision, though, is not implemented easily, given that most media industry professionals do not yet feel comfortable operating in the IT technology space and also due to the stringent requirements that exist in this industry. The Joint Task Force on Networked Media is defining specifications that aim at overcoming such existing barriers. In this article we present a novel solution that follows the guidelines delivered by this group to set up a remotely operated media production facility, totally based on IP and IT technology, constituting a step forward the realization of the IoT concept in professional media environments. The focus is on two complementary components, namely, the GUI Agent and the MW Agent, which are not covered by the defined specifications but that are crucial to speed up the deployment of concrete solutions that can be easily operated by non-IT and non-IP experts in a transparent and ubiquitous way. © 2020 TRON Forum.

Abstract
Visual inspection based systems are important tools to ensure the quality of manufactured parts in industry. This work presents an automatic visual inspection approach for defect detection in turbo vanes in the investment casting industry. The proposed method uses RANSAC for robust line and circle detection to extract relevant information to discriminate between a good part and a defected one. Then, using this data a feature vector is created serving as input to a SVM classifier that after the training phase is able to discriminate and classify between a good sample or not. To test the proposed approach a private database was created containing 650 turbo vanes (which gives 2600 different samples to train and test). On this database the proposed method achieved an average accuracy of 99.96%, an average false negative rate of 0.00% and an average false positive rate of 0.05%, using a 5-fold cross validation protocol, which demonstrates the success of the proposed method. Moreover, the proposed image processing pipeline was deployed into Raspberry Pi 4 Model B part of a visual inspection machine, and is working daily at ZCP-Zollern and Comandita Portugal, which proves the method's robustness. © 2020 Owner/Author.

Abstract
Tourism products online shopping is increasing with e-commerce development that stimulated the creation of several platforms in the recent years. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of some determinants of tourism products online shopping, as the risk associated with this behavior, and travel agencies versus digital marketing tools perceived usefulness. This research used a survey method applied to 343 Spanish consumers from Salamanca region with personal interviews. To analyze the data, it was used structural equation modelling. Because tourism products online shopping risk influence negatively consumers’ attitude toward it, this need to be worked by tourism practitioners and, for segments averse to that risk, travel agencies distribution channel have higher perceived usefulness and can be a better option. On other hand, this research evidenced the importance of digital marketing tools as website, mobile devices and online booking because their perceived usefulness affect the attitude and behavior toward online shopping of tourism products.

Abstract
The study at hand describes the state of the art regulatory framework for managing the distribution system operator (DSO)/transmission system operator (TSO) interface including information about the available flexibility data and access rights of the different grid operators. It describes a possible future procedure to manage this interface using software tools to support this coordination performing grid analysis and providing active as well as reactive power flexibility information at several TSO–DSO interconnection points. The proposed study gives a short overview of two optimisation approaches/software tools with different application functionalities, developed and adapted to meet the demands coming up with such tasks, performed within the European project ‘EU-SysFlex’. Both tools contribute to the objective of optimising available flexibility resources connected to meshed distribution grids with multiple grid connection points to the transmission grid. The investigations/calculations are performed using a real existing high-voltage grid of MITNETZ STROM. Using the outputs, provided by both tools, the demonstrator aims at providing beneficiary results for the discussion of how to evolve the regulatory framework. The functionality of the developed algorithms of both optimisation tools is evaluated and investigated by means of a live field test.
