Spatio-Temporal Predictive Modeling Techniques for Different Domains: a Survey

Abstract
Spatio-temporal prediction tasks play a crucial role in facilitating informed decision-making through anticipatory insights. By accurately predicting future outcomes, the ability to strategize, preemptively address risks, and minimize their potential impact is enhanced. The precision in forecasting spatial and temporal patterns holds significant potential for optimizing resource allocation, land utilization, and infrastructure development. While existing review and survey papers predominantly focus on specific forecasting domains such as intelligent transportation, urban planning, pandemics, disease prediction, climate and weather forecasting, environmental data prediction, and agricultural yield projection, limited attention has been devoted to comprehensive surveys encompassing multiple objects concurrently. This article addresses this gap by comprehensively analyzing techniques employed in traffic, pandemics, disease forecasting, climate and weather prediction, agricultural yield estimation, and environmental data prediction. Furthermore, it elucidates challenges inherent in spatio-temporal forecasting and outlines potential avenues for future research exploration.

Abstract
Although recent studies have recognised that sustainability and resilience should be considered part of the same efforts in the context of a transformative perspective, research combining both constructs is still scarce. This study adopts a comprehensive perspective that acknowledges that maintaining business continuity (through persisting, adapting or transforming), to reduce long-term risks is a common aspect of sustainability and resilience. It aims to identify strategies to be applied by companies and SCs in order to increase their social, environmental and economic sustainability, as well as their ability to be ready, respond and recover from unexpected events. Considering that the actions and strategies to deal with sustainability and resilience can be different and eventually paradoxical, this work applies the organizational ambidexterity approach as a theoretical background.

Abstract
The concept of circular economy aims to extend the end-of-life of products by reducing or reusing products and materials, being Design a central part of a successful circular product. In line with the 6Rs strategy for circularity, Redesign (applied by eco-design practices) allows the creation of products that can be easily repaired, upgraded, or disassembled, extending their life, and fomenting a circular economy. For that reason, the aim of this research is to analyse the role of Redesign in the circularity of footwear products. Exploratory qualitative research was conducted, with five in-depth interviews with founders and R&D managers of prominent footwear organizations. Results demonstrate that most interviewed companies, which were born circular, considered Redesign practices from the definition of the product concept. In conclusion, looking at Redesign strategies holistically and through its specific sub-relationships have a major impact on the company's circularity practises.

Abstract
Building on the work carried out in the context of both the master's thesis and the EUGLOH Tromso Idea Camp 2024, this paper proposes to explore somatic relationships that could help to develop a grammar of practical applicability that specifies which properties pertain to each the three dimensions of Emotional Design presented by Donald Norman. Thus, a proto-ontology affecting some of these factors is presented. The validity of this proposal was methodologically tested mainly through the use of Cultural Probes, along with other methodological tools, which were used to collect emotionally relevant artifacts owned by the participants. This data was submitted through both Content Analysis and Artifact Analysis in order to determine which properties of the artifacts made them meaningful to the users. Different preliminary data related to the three dimensions of Emotional Design emerged: in the first visceral dimension, elements of a perceptual-sensory nature; in the behavioral dimension, some preliminary factors relating to the prevalence of both feedback and image schemas stood out; lastly, the reflective aspect proved to be the one where the most properties were determined, mainly related to symbolic properties.
