Abstract
Organizations in competitive, regulated environments must enhance business processes for efficiency, quality, and compliance while minimizing risks and costs. Process automation solutions play a vital role in achieving these goals, though the variety of tool descriptions creates challenges for compatibility and interoperability. This hinders innovation and competitiveness. The adoption of standard specifications or widely accepted best practices for automation descriptions offers a solution. This research aims to identify a set of best practices to guide process-oriented organizations in evaluating their current automation practices, ensuring alignment and fostering improvements in business process automation.

Abstract
This research is inserted in the context of cybersecurity and specifically in the attribution of Advanced Persistent Threats (APT). The investigation that gave rise to the article studies the MICTIC Framework, validating it and proposing an extension to facilitate the assignment of APTs. In this research, we present the motivation for this proposal and its validation. Also, the MICTIC is presented layer by layer and the extended version is submitted for validation through a survey of around 50 university professors and researchers. Due to the fact the MICTIC by itself has not been validated, we decided to do that in conjunction with the extension proposal. Attribution is very important because lets you know who promoted or who carried out an APT-type attack. On the other hand, just the fact that there are sophisticated Attribution mechanisms can act as a deterrent to future attacks. This research contributes to greater ease in obtaining the Assignment of APTs and consequently in understanding how this type of cybercrime works. so much so that there are few studies on the Assignment of APTs. This study objectively contributes to achieving the APT attribution by combining technological and non-technological techniques. It contributes to achieving computer security environments since an APT Attribution is a high deterrent to an APT group getting uncovered and an Attribution being assigned to it. Typically, cybercriminals who have been identified have stopped operating, whereas the opposite is not true; unidentified actors persist with attacks for a long time. Thus, this study also contributes to the overall maintenance of cybersecurity.

Abstract
Although implementing technologies is a continuous practice observed in organisations, many need help to achieve successful implementations and recognise its impact on their operations and outcomes. Therefore, this review paper aims to present the critical success factors that organisations consider when implementing technology in the Talent Management field. A comprehensive understanding of the technological implementation phenomenon requires adopting a strategic perspective. Consequently, this literature review centres on three clusters: challenges organisations are addressing (Challenges), the technological capabilities and the implementation/adoption process (Technology) and the expected impact (Impact). Findings indicate that a central area of research is the integration of technology in recruitment and, particularly, in the context of Small and Medium Enterprises. Digital Transformation, the Industrial Revolution, and a more diverse workforce are challenges that organisations face. Organisations aim to streamline Human Resources Management (HRM) practices, prioritising data-driven decisions. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.

Abstract
Ensuring the reproducibility of computational scientific experiments is crucial for advancing research and fostering scientific integrity. However, achieving reproducibility poses significant challenges, particularly in the absence of appropriate software tools to help. This paper addresses this issue by comparing existing tools designed to assist researchers across various fields in achieving reproducibility in their work. We were able to successfully run eight tools and execute them to reproduce three existing experiments from different domains. Our findings show the critical role of technical choices in shaping the capabilities of these tools for reproducibility efforts. By evaluating these tools for replicating experiments, we contribute insights into the current landscape of reproducibility support in scientific research. Our analysis offers guidance for researchers seeking appropriate tools to enhance the reproducibility of their experiments, highlighting the importance of informed technical decisions in facilitating reproducibility across diverse domains.

Abstract
Palaeoclimate time series, reflecting the state of Earth's climate in the distant past, occasionally display very large and rapid shifts showing abrupt climate variability. The identification and characterisation of these abrupt transitions in palaeoclimate records is of particular interest as this allows for understanding of millennial climate variability and the identification of potential tipping points in the context of current climate change. Methods that are able to characterise these events in an objective and automatic way, in a single time series, or across two proxy records are therefore of particular interest. In our study the matrix profile approach is used to describe Dansgaard-Oeschger (DO) events, abrupt warmings detected in the Greenland ice core, and Northern Hemisphere marine and continental records. The results indicate that canonical events DO-19 and DO-20, occurring at around 72 and 76 ka, are the most similar events over the past 110 000 years. These transitions are characterised by matching transitions corresponding to events DO-1, DO-8, and DO-12. They are abrupt, resulting in a rapid shift to warmer conditions, followed by a gradual return to cold conditions. The joint analysis of the delta 18O and Ca2+ time series indicates that the transition corresponding to the DO-19 event is the most similar event across the two time series.
