Abstract
Water is essential at various stages of winemaking, from irrigation in the vineyard to cleaning equipment and facilities, controlling fermentation temperatures, and diluting grape juice if necessary. Additionally, water is used for sanitation purposes to ensure the quality and safety of the final product. This article provides an overview of the existing knowledge regarding the use of water in wineries throughout the winemaking process, water consumption values, effluent treatment, efficient use of water measures, and water reuse. Different assessment methods, including Water Footprint (WF) and Life Cycle Assessment(LCA), provide varied insights into water use impacts, emphasizing the importance of standardized methodologies for accurate assessment and sustainable practices. This research showed that the characterization of the vinification processes of each type of wine is fundamental for further analysis on the environmental impact of winemaking regarding water use. It was also observed that WF is affected by factors like climate, irrigation needs, and cleaning procedures. Thus, efficient water management in all the stages of wine production is crucial to reduce the overall WF. Water efficiency measures may involve the modification of the production processes, reusing and recycling water and the implementation of cleaner production practices and technological innovations, such as automated fermentation systems that reduce water needs. Furthermore, waste management in wineries emphasizes the importance of sustainable practices and technological innovations to mitigate environmental impacts and enhance resource efficiency.

Abstract
Smart home devices are becoming more popular over the years. A diverse range of appliances is being created, and Ambient Intelligence is growing in homes. However, there are various producers of these gadgets, different kinds of protocols, and diverse environments. The lack of interoperability reduces comfort of the user and turns into a barrier to smart home adoption. Matter is growing by constructing an open-source application layer protocol that can be compatible with all smart home ecosystems. In this article, a Matter overview is provided (namely, of the Commissioning stage), and a Matter Accessory using ESP32-S3 is developed referring to the manufacturer's SDKs and is inserted into an existent household ecosystem. Its behavior on the network is briefly analyzed, and interactions with the device are carried out. The simplicity of these tasks demonstrates accessibility for developers to create products, especially when it comes to firmware. Additionally, device commissioning and control are straightforward for the consumer. This capacity of gadget incorporation into diverse ecosystems using Matter is already on the market and might result in higher device production and enhanced smart home adoption.

Abstract
This paper presents an efficient and secure method for updating firmware in IoT devices using LoRaWAN network resources and communication protocols. The proposed method involves dividing the firmware into fragments, storing them in the application server’s database, and transmitting them to remote IoT devices via downlink messages, without necessitating any changes to the device’s class. This approach can be replicated across any IoT LoRaWAN device, offering a robust and scalable solution for large-scale firmware updates while ensuring data security and integrity. The proposed method significantly reduces the downtime of IoT devices and enhances the energy efficiency of the update process. The method was validated by updating a block in the program memory, associated to a specific functionality of the IoT end device. The associated Intel Hex file was segmented into 17 LoRaWAN downlink frames with an average size of 46 bytes. Upon receiving the complete firmware update, the microcontroller employs self-programming techniques that restrict the update process to specific rows of the program memory, avoiding interruptions or reboots. The update process was successfully completed in 51.33 ms, resulting in a downtime of 16.88 ms. This method demonstrates improved energy efficiency compared to existing solutions while preserving the communication network’s capacity, making it an adequate solution for remote devices in LoRaWAN networks.

Abstract
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have emerged as valuable tools in precision agriculture due to their ability to provide timely and detailed information over large agricultural areas. In this sense, this work aims to evaluate the semi-autonomous navigation capacity of a multirotor UAV when applied in the field of precision agriculture. For this, a small aircraft is used to identify and track a set of fiducial markers (Ar Track Alvar) in an environment that simulates inspections of insect traps in olive groves. The purpose of this marker is to provide a visual reference point for the drone's navigation system. Once the Ar Track Alvar marker is detected, the robot will receive navigation information based on the marker's position to approach the specific trap. The experimental setup evaluated the computer vision algorithm applied to the UAV to make it recognize the Ar Track Alvar marker and then reach the trap efficiently. Experimental tests were conducted in a indoor and outdoor environment using DJI Tello. The results demonstrated the feasibility of applying these fiducial markers as a solution for the UAV's navigation in this proposed scenario.

Abstract
Background: The Internet of Things (IoT) has improved many aspects that have impacted the industry and the people’s daily lives. To begin with, the IoT allows communication to be made across a wide range of devices, from household appliances to industrial machinery. This connectivity allows for a better integration of the pervasive computing, making devices “smart” and capable of interacting with each other and with the corresponding users in a sublime way. However, the widespread adoption of IoT devices has introduced some security challenges, because these devices usually run in environments that have limited resources. As IoT technology becomes more integrated into critical infrastructure and daily life, the need for stronger security measures will increase. These devices are exposed to a variety of cyber-attacks. This literature review synthesizes the current research of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to improve IoT security. This review addresses key research questions, including: (1) What are the primary challenges and threats that IoT devices face?; (2) How can AI be used to improve IoT security?; (3) What AI techniques are currently being used for this purpose?; and (4) How does applying AI to IoT security differ from traditional methods? Methods: We included a total of 33 peer-reviewed studies published between 2020 and 2024, specifically in journal and conference papers written in English. Studies irrelevant to the use of AI for IoT security, duplicate studies, and articles without full-text access were excluded. The literature search was conducted using scientific databases, including MDPI, ScienceDirect, IEEE Xplore, and SpringerLink. Results were synthesized through a narrative synthesis approach, with the help of the Parsifal tool to organize and visualize key themes and trends. Results: We focus on the use of machine learning, deep learning, and federated learning, which are used for anomaly detection to identify and mitigate the security threats inherent to these devices. AI-driven technologies offer promising solutions for attack detection and predictive analysis, reducing the need for human intervention more significantly. This review acknowledges limitations such as the rapidly evolving nature of IoT technologies, the early-stage development or proprietary nature of many AI techniques, the variable performance of AI models in real-world applications, and potential biases in the search and selection of articles. The risk of bias in this systematic review is moderate. While the study selection and data collection processes are robust, the reliance on narrative synthesis and the limited exploration of potential biases in the selection process introduce some risk. Transparency in funding and conflict of interest reporting reduces bias in those areas. Discussion: The effectiveness of these AI-based approaches can vary depending on the performance of the model and the computational efficiency. In this article, we provide a comprehensive overview of existing AI models applied to IoT security, including machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), and hybrid approaches. We also examine their role in enhancing the detection accuracy. Despite all the advances, challenges still remain in terms of data privacy and the scalability of AI solutions in IoT security. Conclusion: This review provides a comprehensive overview of ML applications to enhance IoT security. We also discuss and outline future directions, emphasizing the need for collaboration between interested parties and ongoing innovation to address the evolving threat landscape in IoT security.

Abstract
The present article explores the impact of educational robotics on fostering computational thinking and problem-solving skills in elementary school students through a problem-based learning approach. This study involved the creation of a framework which includes a robot and two eBooks designed for students and teachers. The eBooks serve as a guide to the construction and programming of a small Arduino-based robot. Through integration with gamification elements, the model features a narrative with three characters to boost a student's engagement and motivation. Through iteration of heuristic evaluations and practical tests, we refined the initial theoretical framework. An empirical study was conducted in two phases involving 350 students. The first empirical test involved a small group of 21 students, similar to end users, from five European schools. With a 100% completion rate for the tasks, 73.47% of these tasks were solved optimally. Later, we conducted a larger validation study which involved 329 students in a Portuguese school. This second phase of the study was conducted during the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years with three study groups. The results led to a 91.13% success rate in problem-solving activities, and 56.99% of those students achieved optimal solutions. Advanced statistical techniques, including ANOVA, were applied to account for group differences and ensure the robustness of the findings. This study demonstrates that the proposed model which integrates educational robotics with problem-based learning effectively promotes computational thinking and problem-solving skills, which are essential for the 21st century. These findings support the inclusion of robotics into primary school curricula and provide a validated framework for educators.
