Abstract
The paper draws attention to the use of Symbolic Data Analysis (SDA) in the field of Official Statistics. It is composed of three sections presenting three pilot techniques in the field of SDA. The three contributions range from a technique based on the notion of exactly unified summaries for the creation of symbolic objects, a model-based approach for interval data as an innovative parametric strategy in this context, and measures of similarity defined between a class and a collection of classes based on the frequency of the categories which characterize them. The paper shows the effectiveness of the proposed approaches as prototypes of numerous techniques developed within the SDA framework and opens to possible further developments.

Abstract
Vicarious experiences in tourism possess significant marketing implications. While numerous studies have explored how various forms of vicarious experiences can impact an individual, the role of different time spans as a key factor determining the extent of said impact has been neglected in prior research. To address this gap, the present study thus bridges environmental psychology with the context of tourism and applies the theory of mental representations. An experiment (n = 359) was designed to examine differences in select mental representation dimensions (cognitive, affective, conative, and sensorial) among male and female Chinese college students who have zero/medium/maximum durations of constant vicarious experiences related to European destinations in their home environment. The results indicate that the medium duration of constant vicarious experiences leads to the most positive changes in cognitive and conative dimensions, while the longest constant vicarious experiences produce desirable affective dimension outcomes. Moreover, male college students seem to be more susceptible to the influences of such constant vicarious experiences.

Abstract
Considering the great challenge of implementing digital tools to improve collaboration in the value chain and promote the adoption of circularity strategies, as is the case with digital traceability tools and digital product passports. This paper presents an innovative proposal for implementing an industrial data sharing ecosystem, namely an architecture and platform for digital traceability between entities based on Data Spaces. To validate our proposal, a use case scenario was implemented as part of the BioShoes4All project.

Abstract
The adoption of residential photovoltaic (PV) systems to mitigate the effects of climate change has been incentivized in recent years by government policies. Due to the impacts of these systems on the energy mix and the electrical grid, it is essential to understand how these technologies will expand in urban areas. To fulfill that need, this article presents an innovative method for modeling the diffusion of residential PV systems in urban environments that employs spatial analysis and urban characteristics to identify residences at the subarea level with the potential for installing PV systems, along with temporal analysis to project the adoption growth of these systems over time. This approach integrates urban characteristics such as population density, socioeconomic data, public environmental awareness, rooftop space availability, and population interest in new technologies. Results for the diffusion of PV systems in a Brazilian city are compared with real adoption data. The results are presented in thematic maps showing the spatiotemporal distribution of potential adopters of PV systems. This information is essential for creating efficient decarbonization plans because, while many households can afford these systems, interest in new technologies and knowledge of the benefits of clean energy are also necessary for their adoption.

Abstract
The Machine Learning approach is used in several application domains, and its exploitation in predicting accidents in occupational safety is relatively recent. The present study aims to apply different Machine Learning algorithms for classifying the occurrence or non-occurrence of accidents at work in the retail sector. The approach consists of obtaining an impact score for each store and work unit, considering two databases of a retail company, the preventive safety actions, and the action plans. Subsequently, each score is associated with the occurrence or non-occurrence of accidents during January and May 2023. Of the five classification algorithms applied, the Support Vector Machine was the one that obtained the best accuracy and precision values for the preventive safety actions. As for the set of actions plan, the Logistic Regression reached the best results in all calculated metrics. With this study, estimating the impact score of the study variables makes it possible to identify the occurrence of accidents at work in the retail sector with high precision and accuracy.
