Abstract
The food industry faces growing challenges due to evolving consumer demands, requiring digital technologies to enhance sensory analysis. Innovations such as eye tracking, FaceReader, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming consumer behavior research by providing deeper insights into sensory experiences. For instance, FaceReader captures emotional responses to food by analyzing facial expressions, offering valuable data on consumer preferences for taste, texture, and aroma. Together, these technologies provide a comprehensive understanding of the sensory experience, aiding product development and branding. Electronic nose, tongue, and eye technologies also replicate human sensory capabilities, enabling objective and efficient assessment of aroma, taste, and color. The electronic nose (E-nose) detects volatile compounds for aroma evaluation, while the electronic tongue (E-tongue) evaluates taste through electrochemical sensors, ensuring accuracy and consistency in sensory analysis. The electronic eye (E-eye) analyzes food color, supporting quality control processes. These advancements offer rapid, non-invasive, reproducible assessments, benefiting research and industrial applications. By improving the precision and efficiency of sensory analysis, digital tools help enhance product quality and consumer satisfaction in the competitive food industry. This review explores the latest digital methods shaping food sensory research and innovation.

Abstract
WebAssembly (Wasm) has emerged as a powerful binary format, enabling the seamless integration of languages like C and Rust into web applications. JavaScript (JS), the dominant language for client-side web development, has its code susceptible to tampering and intellectual property theft due to its transparency in browser environments. We introduce TranspileJS, a novel tool designed to enhance code security by automatically selecting and translating JS snippets into Wasm. TranspileJS leverages a multi-stage architecture that converts JS to TypeScript, which is compiled into Wasm using the AssemblyScript compiler. TranspileJS addresses the challenges posed by the fundamental differences between JS and Wasm, including dynamic typing, runtime behaviour mismatches, and standard library discrepancies, ensuring that the original behaviour of the code is preserved while maximising the amount of code transpiled. Our experiments show that TranspileJS successfully transpiles approximately one-third of the code in our dataset, with a performance impact of up to a 12.3% increase in execution time. The transpilation process inherently obfuscates code, creating effects similar to standard obfuscation techniques, and generates a stealthy and resilient output. Furthermore, combining transpilation with WebAssembly-specific obfuscation techniques opens new possibilities for code protection and resistance against reverse engineering.

Abstract
Renewable energy communities (REC) can involve final consumers into the energy system incentivizing investments in decentralized renewable energy sources and shaping their energy behaviour to improve the local balance of consumption and generation. However, RECs can also help alleviate energy poverty, which occurs when low incomes and inefficient buildings and appliances result in disproportionately high energy costs for households, by lowering energy expenses through the sharing of surplus electricity at reduced prices with vulnerable members. This work explores REC business models with the specific focus on incorporating and empowering vulnerable consumers. Based on the literature review, we propose indexes to assess the vulnerability and non-vulnerability of REC members. From these indexes, we propose two business models based on two different strategies for the operation and settlement of a REC with flexible assets and vulnerable members.

Abstract
The increase in the use of mobile phones in recent years has raised significant concerns regarding road safety, more specifically motorcycle accidents. Driver distraction caused by mobile phone use is a topic of great importance, given the negative impact on traffic safety and the occurrence of accidents. In this way, the design of optimized and strategically planned interfaces for electric motorcycle displays can play a crucial role in driver safety, minimizing distractions and, consequently, the risk of accidents. This paper proposes a systematic review of the literature on improving electric motorcycle displays in the context of mobile applications, exploring the best way for the display to become the only digital tool needed while driving, without causing distraction to the driver. To achieve this result, recent studies from the scientific literature were analyzed, highlighting the importance of a clean layout containing only relevant information to the visual elements. The interface structure should be easy to understand and recognize, with feedback always available so as not to overwhelm the user experience. Through the review, we studied how to improve the design of motorcycle displays and reduce the use of mobile phones while driving. The results were essential for us to understand that the usability of the interface is crucial for consistency in its structure, as well as the vocabulary, which must be coherent and in familiar language.
