Abstract
Nowadays, the world's fishing fleet uses 20% more fuel to catch the same amount offish compared to 30 years ago. Addressing this negative environmental and economic performance is crucial due to stricter emission regulations, rising fuel costs, and predicted declines in fish biomass and body sizes due to climate change. Investment in more efficient engines, larger ships and better fuel has been the main response, but this is only feasible in the long term at high infrastructure cost. An alternative is to optimize operations such as the routing of a fleet, which is an extremely complex problem due to its dynamic (time-dependent) moving target characteristics. To date, no other scientific work has approached this problem in its full complexity, i.e., as a dynamic vehicle routing problem with multiple time windows and moving targets. In this paper, two bi-objective mixed linear integer programming (MIP) models are presented, one for the static variant and another for the time-dependent variant. The bi-objective approaches allow to trade off the economic (e.g., probability of high catches) and environmental (e.g., fuel consumption) objectives. To overcome the limitations of exact solutions of the MIP models, a greedy randomized adaptive search procedure for the multi-objective problem (MO-GRASP) is proposed. The computational experiments demonstrate the good performance of the MO-GRASP algorithm with clearly different results when the importance of each objective is varied. In addition, computational experiments conducted on historical data prove the feasibility of applying the MO-GRASP algorithm in a real context and explore the benefits of joint planning (collaborative approach) compared to a non-collaborative strategy. Collaborative approaches enable the definition of better routes that may select slightly worse fishing and planting areas (2.9%), but in exchange fora significant reduction in fuel consumption (17.3%) and time at sea (10.1%) compared to non-collaborative strategies. The final experiment examines the importance of the collaborative approach when the number of available drifting fishing aggregation devices (dFADs) per vessel is reduced.

Abstract
Continuous Integration and Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines are essential for modern software delivery, yet configuring them remains a challenge due to the complexity of text-based formats like YAML. These configurations are error-prone and require substantial expertise, posing a barrier to novices. In this paper, we introduce PipeBlocks, a block-based CI/CD tool featuring a graphical interface for visually constructing pipelines through modular, drag-and-drop blocks. PipeBlocks seamlessly integrates with GitHub Actions, allowing users to design, validate, and execute pipelines entirely within the tool while maintaining full compatibility with existing YAML workflows. A key innovation is the ability to trigger and monitor pipeline runs directly in PipeBlocks, eliminating context-switching. We evaluated PipeBlocks through a controlled study with 10 participants configuring identical pipelines (build, test, deploy) using both PipeBlocks and YAML editing in GitHub Actions. Using the System Usability Scale (SUS) and NASA-TLX benchmarks, we found that PipeBlocks achieved a statistically significantly higher usability score and a lower cognitive load. The results suggest that block-based approaches can effectively lower CI/CD's learning curve while maintaining functional completeness, making them particularly valuable for academic settings and early-career developers building CI/CD competencies.

Abstract
Deep learning for glaucoma screening often relies on high-resolution clinical images and convolutional neural networks (CNNs). However, these methods face significant performance drops when applied to noisy, low-resolution images from portable devices. To address this, our work investigates ensemble methods using multiple Transformer architectures for automated glaucoma detection in challenging scenarios. We use the Brazil Glaucoma (BrG) and private D-Eye datasets to assess model robustness. These datasets include images typical of smartphone-coupled ophthalmoscopes, which are often noisy and variable in quality. Four Transformer models-Swin-Tiny, ViT-Base, MobileViT-Small, and DeiT-Base-were trained and evaluated both individually and in ensembles. We evaluated the results at both image and patient levels to reflect clinical practice. The results show that, although performance drops on lower-quality images, ensemble combinations and patient-level aggregation significantly improve accuracy and sensitivity. We achieved up to 85% accuracy and an 84.2% F1-score on the D-Eye dataset, with a notable reduction in false negatives. Grad-CAM attention maps confirmed that Transformers identify anatomical regions relevant to diagnosis. These findings reinforce the potential of Transformer ensembles as an accessible solution for early glaucoma detection in populations with limited access to specialized equipment.

Abstract
This research examined the domain of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) by analyzing the impact of scholarly work and thematic prevalence, as well as focusing attention on vehicles, their technologies, cybersecurity, and related scholarly technologies. This was performed by examining the scientific literature indexed in the Scopus database. This study analysed 2919 documents published between 2018 and 2025. The findings indicated that the highest and most significant journal was derived from IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, with significant standing to the growth of communication and computing on vehicles with edge computing and AI optimization of vehicular systems. In addition, important PST research conferences highlighted the growing interest in academic research in cybersecurity for vehicle networks. Sensor networks, pose forensics, and privacy-preserving communication frameworks were some of the significant contributing fields marking the significance of the interdisciplinary nature of this research. Employing bibliometric analysis, the literature illustrated the multiple channels integrating knowledge creation and innovation in ITS through citation analysis. The outcome suggested an increasingly sophisticated research area, weighing technical progress and increasing concern about security and privacy measures. Further studies must investigate edge computing integrated with AI, advanced privacy-preserving linguistic protocols, and new vehicular network intrusion detection systems.

Abstract
This paper proposes a centralized energy management system for low voltage (LV) distribution networks. The main contribution of this model is to manage the energy serving at the local energy communities in the presence of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE). Unlocking the demand response potential by the EVSE at the distribution network with the contribution of the active residential prosumers has been investigated in this study under different operational planning scenarios. The developed model is based on the multi-temporal optimal power flow (MTOPF) concept while the unbalanced nature of LV networks has been addressed using unbalanced power flow equations. The aggregator can effectively manage the optimal charging of electric vehicles (EVs) by home and public chargers available at the distribution network. Simulation results on a modified unbalanced LV network illustrate that the optimal operation of EVSE minimizes the electricity costs of end-users. The simulation results show that the operating costs and systems losses reduce by 9.22% and 43.45%, respectively. These results have been obtained considering the switching actions and 100% PV power generation index using the presented MV-LV coordinated operational model. Besides, the energy storage systems improve the peak-to-average (PAR) ratio by 9.87%.
