Abstract
The challenge is a fundamental aspect of almost every gameplay, and immersion is one of the most widely recognized concepts in the video game industry. Since this is currently a work in progress, this study aims to preliminary research how player's perceived level of challenge affects narrative immersion during gameplay in the role-playing game (RPG) genre. This study will outline the procedures that will be undertaken, including the utilization of the Challenge Originating from Recent Gameplay Interaction Scale (CORGIS) instrument and a questionnaire to measure player immersion. These instruments will enable the assessment of the impact of the perceived challenge on narrative immersion in each use case. © 2023 Proceedings of the International Conferences on Interfaces and Human Computer Interaction 2023, IHCI 2023; Computer Graphics, Visualization, Computer Vision and Image Processing 2023, CGVCVIP 2023; and Game and Entertainment Technologies 2023, GET 2023.

Abstract
This paper proposes an interactive approach for narrative extraction from semantic graphs. The proposed approach extracts events from RDF triples, maps them to their corresponding attributes, and assembles them into a chronological sequence to form narrative graphs. The approach is evaluated on the Wikidata graph and achieves promising results in terms of narrative quality and coherence. The paper also discusses several avenues for future work, including the integration of machine learning, graph embedding methods and the exploration of advanced techniques for attention-based narrative labeling and semantic role labeling. Overall, the proposed method offers a promising approach to narrative extraction from semantic graphs and has the potential to be useful in various applications, including chatbots, conversational agents, and content creation tools.

Abstract
The Beninar Dam, located in Southeastern Spain, is an earth-fill dam that has experienced filtration issues since its construction in 1985. Despite the installation of various monitoring systems, the data collected are sparse and inadequate for the dam's lifetime. The present research integrates Multi-Temporal Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (MT-InSAR) and dam modeling to validate the monitoring of this dam, opening the way to enhanced integrated monitoring systems. MT-InSAR was proved to be a reliable and continuous monitoring system for dam deformation, surpassing previously installed systems in terms of precision. MT-InSAR allowed the almost-continuous monitoring of this dam since 1992, combining ERS, Envisat, and Sentinel-1A/B data. Line-of-sight (LOS) velocities of settlement in the crest of the dam evolved from maximums of -6 mm/year (1992-2000), -4 mm/year (2002-2010), and -2 mm/year (2015-2021) with median values of -2.6 and -3.0 mm/year in the first periods (ERS and Envisat) and -1.3 mm/year in the Sentinel 1-A/B period. These results are consistent with the maximum admissible modeled deformation from construction, confirming that settlement was more intense in the dam's early stages and decreased over time. MT-InSAR was also used to integrate the monitoring of the dam basin, including critical slopes, quarries, and infrastructures, such as roads, tracks, and spillways. This study allows us to conclude that MT-InSAR and dam modeling are important elements for the integrated monitoring systems of embankment dams. This conclusion supports the complete integration of MT-InSAR and 3D modeling into the monitoring systems of embankment dams, as they are a key complement to traditional geotechnical monitoring and can overcome the main limitations of topographical monitoring.

Abstract
Globalisation, urbanisation and the recent COVID-19 pandemic has been raising the demand for logistic activities. This change is affecting the entire supply chain, especially the last-mile step. This step is considered the most expensive and ineffective part of the supply chain and a source of negative economic, environmental and social externalities. This article aims to characterise the sustainable urban last-mile logistics research field through a systematic literature review (N = 102). This wide and holistic review was organised into six thematic clusters that identified the main concepts addressed in the different areas of the last-mile research and the existence of 14 solutions, grouped into three types (vehicular, operational, and organisational solutions). The major findings are that there are no ideal last-mile solutions as their limitations should be further explored by considering the so-called triple bottom line of sustainability; the integration and combination of multiple last-mile alternative concepts; or by establishing collaboration schemes that minimise the stakeholders' conflicting interests.

Abstract
Globally, insect pests are the primary reason for reduced crop yield and quality. Although pesticides are commonly used to control and eliminate these pests, they can have adverse effects on the environment, human health, and natural resources. As an alternative, integrated pest management has been devised to enhance insect pest control, decrease the excessive use of pesticides, and enhance the output and quality of crops. With the improvements in artificial intelligence technologies, several applications have emerged in the agricultural context, including automatic detection, monitoring, and identification of insects. The purpose of this article is to outline the leading techniques for the automated detection of insects, highlighting the most successful approaches and methodologies while also drawing attention to the remaining challenges and gaps in this area. The aim is to furnish the reader with an overview of the major developments in this field. This study analysed 92 studies published between 2016 and 2022 on the automatic detection of insects in traps using deep learning techniques. The search was conducted on six electronic databases, and 36 articles met the inclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria were studies that applied deep learning techniques for insect classification, counting, and detection, written in English. The selection process involved analysing the title, keywords, and abstract of each study, resulting in the exclusion of 33 articles. The remaining 36 articles included 12 for the classification task and 24 for the detection task. Two main approaches-standard and adaptable-for insect detection were identified, with various architectures and detectors. The accuracy of the classification was found to be most influenced by dataset size, while detection was significantly affected by the number of classes and dataset size. The study also highlights two challenges and recommendations, namely, dataset characteristics (such as unbalanced classes and incomplete annotation) and methodologies (such as the limitations of algorithms for small objects and the lack of information about small insects). To overcome these challenges, further research is recommended to improve insect pest management practices. This research should focus on addressing the limitations and challenges identified in this article to ensure more effective insect pest management.
