Abstract
Higher Education Institutions use social media as a marketing channel to attract and engage users so that the institution is promoted and thus a wide range of benefits can be achieved. These institutions are evaluated globally on various success parameters, being published in rankings. In this paper, we analyze the publishing strategies and compare the results with their overall ranking positions. The results show that there is a tendency to find a particular strategy in the top ranked universities. We also found cases where the strategies are less prominent and do not match the ranking positions. Copyright © 2022 by SCITEPRESS – Science and Technology Publications, Lda. All rights reserved.

AUTONOMOUS ROBOTS

Abstract
Underwater autonomous manipulation is the capability of a mobile robot to perform intervention tasks that require physical contact with unstructured environments without continuous human supervision. Being difficult to assess the behaviour of existing motion planner algorithms, this research proposes a new planner evaluation metric to identify well-behaved planners for specialized tasks of inspection and monitoring of man-made underwater structures. This metric is named NEMU and combines three different performance indicators: effectiveness, safety and adaptability. NEMU deals with the randomization of sampling-based motion planners. Moreover, this article presents a benchmark of multiple planners applied to a 6 DoF manipulator operating underwater. Results conducted in real scenarios show that different planners are better suited for different tasks. Experiments demonstrate that the NEMU metric can be used to distinguish the performance of planners for particular movement conditions. Moreover, it identifies the most promising planner for collision-free motion planning, being a valuable contribution for the inspection of maritime structures, as well as for the manipulation procedures of autonomous underwater vehicles during close range operations.

Dockerlive : A live development environment for Dockerfiles

Abstract
The process of developing Dockerfiles is perceived by many developers as slow and based on trial-and-error, and it is hardly immediate to see the result of a change introduced into a Dockerfile. In this work we propose a plugin for Visual Studio Code, which we name Dockerlive, and that has the purpose of shortening the length of feedback loops. Namely, the plugin is capable of providing information to developers on a number of Dockerfile elements, as the developer is writing the Dockerfile. We achieve this through dynamic analysis of the resulting container, which the plugin builds and runs in the background. © 2022 IEEE.

Abstract
Analysis of sports performance using mobile and wearable devices is becoming increasingly popular, helping users improve their sports practice. In this context, the goal of this work has been the development of an Apple Watch application, capable of detecting important strokes in the table tennis sport, using a deep learning (DL) model. A dataset of table tennis strokes has been created based on the watch's accelerometer and gyroscope sensors. The dataset collection was done in the Portuguese table tennis federation training sites, from several athletes, supervised by their coaches. To obtain the best DL model, three different architecture models where trained, compared and evaluated, using the complete dataset: a LSTM based on Create ML/Core ML frameworks (62.70% F1 score) and two Tensorflow based architectures, a CNN-LSTM (96.02% F1 score) and a ConvLSTM (97.33% F1 score).
