Abstract
Companies focus on achieving high service levels and need to combine short service times with the dynamics between cost and quality. Their transportation systems are therefore a fundamental part; they must be reliable and efficient. This study was implemented in a company of the marine industry, and its final product has special characteristics that require special transportation, i.e., they need a truck with a special structure to be able to transport the boats. This situation causes the vehicle to return empty to the company, a route that the company must support economically. The company has already approached several options with logistic service providers (3PL) without obtaining positive solutions. It is in this sense that the present project arises, which aims to develop a tool for the creation of round-trip circuits, given that in the current context the company intends to acquire a vehicle with reduced environmental impact. In a first phase we analyze the company’s needs based on the unique characteristics of the final product, then we study the existing options on the market. Culminating in the proposal of a vehicle that allows performing a circuit in round trip (distribute the final product and return with raw material and not empty) powered by renewable energy. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Abstract
A anorexia nervosa é uma perturbação mental que afeta diferentes áreas da vida do indivíduo, impactando o seu bem-estar físico, social e mental. A população-alvo desta doença são jovens. Os jogos são atrativos para estes, e tem recentemente havido um crescimento no uso de jogos como ferramentas de apoio ao tratamento de diferentes doenças mentais. Porém, a prevenção e tratamento da anorexia nervosa possui poucos jogos que contemplem a complexidade da doença. Neste contexto, este resumo refere-se a uma tese de doutoramento que propõe o desenvolvimento de princípios para o design de jogos para a prevenção e tratamento da anorexia nervosa.

Abstract
Centro de Reabilitacao Profissional de Gaia (CRPG) is a Portuguese public association that promotes the social, educational, occupational, and rehabilitation aspects of people with disabilities. The CRPG project presented in this paper is directly related to the Rehabilitation and reintegration of labor accidents and occupational diseases (RAC/LCA) victims. The solution presented in this paper heavily relied on user research of the institution's procedures and the patients themselves. Their habits, goals, needs, and mental models allowed a better understanding of the heterogeneity of patient's injuries, which usually affected memory, motion, and cognition in different ways and severity. The User Centered-Design methodological approach also encompasses a comparative analysis of mobile applications in Google Play and Apple App Store related to disabilities and features some main features identified by CRPG; interviews with patients and with CRPG stakeholders; personas and contextual scenarios development, requirements, and features definition, workflow, wireflows, lo and high fidelity prototype, formative evaluation with end users. The usability and accessibility test results suggest the viability and efficacy of multiple interaction modalities in improving the accessibility of the application, ensuring a broader reach to the CRPG community with future implications as good practices in the inclusiveness of applications in other contexts.

Abstract
Language-guided generative models are increasingly used in audiovisual production. Image diffusion allows for the development of video sequences and some of its coordination can be established by text prompts. This research automates a video production pipeline leveraging CLIP-guidance with longform text inputs and a separate text-to-speech system. We introduce a method for producing frame-accurate video and audio summaries using a virtual timeline and document a set of video outputs with diverging parameters. Our approach was applied in the production of the film Irreplaceable Biography and contributes to a future where multimodal generative architectures are set as underlying mechanisms to establish visual sequences in time. We contribute to a practice where language modelling is part of a shared and learned representation which can support professional video production, specifically used as a vehicle throughout the composition process as potential videography in physical space.

Abstract
Over the years, industrial evolution has proved to be a complex process, since there are several aspects that need to be considered to achieve highly functional processes and differentiated quality products. To date, four industrial revolutions have been implemented. Thus, the paradigm of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) was born, a concept that aims to improve the efficiency, productivity, automation, and safety of industrial processes, but which also considers the operator’s relevance and centrality in these processes. Besides these four revolutions one more concept is emerging, called Industry 5.0 (I5.0). In recent years, and with the advance of scientific research, the implementation of wearables has proven to be the ideal solution to move towards the digitisation of Industrial sector. In this sense, the aim of this work is to provide a systematic review on the currently available knowledge about wearable technology and its applicability within I4.0. Through these technologies, both processes and operators can be monitored in real time, actively contributing to the identification of limitations and to the implementation of improvements. On the other hand, studies on the acceptance of these devices have shown a certain apprehension by users regarding the security and privacy of collected data. Therefore, studies should be conducted to analyse in depth these limitations, to raise users’ confidence and contribute, in a broader perspective, to the success of industrial processes.
