Abstract
The challenge of engineering education is to transform engineering students into agents of innovation and well-being. In addition to solid scientific and technical knowledge, critical thinking, problem-solving and interpersonal competencies, it implies the ability to design and implement solutions supported by ethical and sustainability principles. With this goal in mind, the European Project Semester (EPS) provides a student-centred project-based learning framework. It is offered by a group of European higher education institutions, including the Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto (ISEP), the engineering school of the Polytechnic of Porto. Students work in teams of four to six, from different fields of study and nationalities, to design solutions to problems that affect individuals, society or the planet, taking into account the state of the art, the market and the ethical and sustainability implications of their decisions. These solutions are then implemented in a proof-of-concept prototype. Most of the projects address problems in education, the environment, food production and smart cities and have a strong educational, ethical and sustainability drive, encouraging students to develop sustainability competencies. This work analyses team papers of illustrative EPS@ISEP projects searching for evidences of the development of sustainability competencies. The proposed method maps keywords related to the sixteen United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to the contents of team papers by applying natural language processing and reusing the list of SDG keywords proposed by Auckland University. The results confirm EPS@ISEP fosters sustainability competencies in engineering undergraduates. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.

Abstract
Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) is one of the most frequently mutated genes in lung cancer. Its mutation status characterization is crucial for personalized treatment in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Biopsy is the gold standard for characterizing the EGFR mutation status. However, it is an invasive time-consuming method and is often burdensome or even impractical for some patients. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to identify alternative non-invasive methods for classifying this mutation. Computed Tomography (CT) images represent a non-invasive, safer and faster method to directly characterize lung cancer. This study developed a comprehensive radiomic approach for EGFR mutation classification using CT images, in which two preprocessing strategies were compared and five machine learning algorithms were evaluated across different datasets. We analyzed two independent datasets individually and combined, implementing lung containing nodule versus bounding box around nodule preprocessing approaches. Radiomic features were extracted using PyRadiomics and selected through Principal Component Analysis (PCA) (65-95% variance thresholds) and pairwise correlation filtering. The results demonstrated that the lung with nodule strategy achieved better and more consistent performance compared to the bounding box around the nodule method. The best performance (AUC=0.780) was achieved using Random Forest with correlation filtering. The results suggest that radiomics may be a potential support tool for EGFR classification when biopsy is not feasible or recommended. This would enable safer and more efficient personalized treatment. Nevertheless, the results underscore the need for larger, diverse datasets to improve model robustness for characterizing such complex and variable information before clinical integration. © 2025 IEEE.

Abstract
Vivenciar a cidade, enquanto espaço de aprendizagem, implica no seu reconhecimento como uma entidade viva, complexa e comunicativa. É compreendê-la no entrelaçamento de seus vários tempos, espaços e dimensões humanas e não humanas, digitais, biológicas, culturais, tecnológicas, sociais, históricas, econômicas, entre outros. Este artigo apresenta uma prática pedagógica oriunda de tese de doutorado no contexto da educação bilíngue, que problematiza formas de conhecer e produzir conhecimento relacionado ao desenvolvimento do pensamento computacional na cidade. As experiências se desenvolvem na perspectiva da aprendizagem inventiva, abordagem CLIL e Educação OnLIFE. Como método de pesquisa, se apropria do método cartográfico de pesquisa-intervenção para produção e análise de dados. Os resultados baseiam-se em elementos presentes nas epistemologias reticulares e conectivas, na cognição inventiva e nos conceitos de matética e bilinguismo. Tais resultados indicam o pensamento computacional sendo potencializado nas formas de viver a exploração da cidade, contribuindo para sua compreensão interdisciplinar e transversal. Esses resultados apontam a emergência de uma nova política cognitiva em Educação, mais conectada com a vida, implicando repensar o currículo e a formação docente.

Abstract
We propose a statistical duality among the preferences and endowments of the agents. Under this duality, the logarithmic prices of random trades among agents in a decentralized economy converge in expectation to the logarithm of the Walrasian equilibrium price in a centralized economy.

Abstract
In football, where minor differences can significantly affect outcomes and performance, automatic video analysis has become a critical tool for analyzing and optimizing team strategies. However, many existing solutions require expensive and complex hardware comprising multiple cameras, sensors, or GPS devices, limiting accessibility for many clubs, particularly those with limited resources. Using images and video from a moving camera can help a wider audience benefit from video analysis, but it introduces new challenges related to motion. To address this, we explore an alternative homography estimation in moving camera scenarios. Homography plays a crucial role in video analysis, but presents challenges when keypoints are sparse, especially in dynamic environments. Existing techniques predominantly rely on visible keypoints and apply homography transformations on a frame-by-frame basis, often lacking temporal consistency and facing challenges in areas with sparse keypoints. This paper explores the use of estimated motion information for homography computation. Our experimental results reveal that integrating motion data directly into homography estimations leads to reduced errors in keypoint-sparse frames, surpassing state-of-the-art methods, filling a current gap in moving camera scenarios.
