In recent years, as part of sustainable development policies, the revaluation of end-of-life products has become more and more widespread. In terms of sustainability, in a scenario of circular economy food sustainability aims, inter alia, at making an effective re-use of natural resources as a starting point for the obtainment of high added-value products. With the aim of promoting the valorization of the wine sector wastes, the present study took into account the leaves of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Aglianico from the Campania Region (Italy). The use of deep eutectic solvents as a greener alternative to the most common organic solvents, joint to ultrasound-assisted maceration, and LC-MS tools, allowed us to define for the first time a six-month quantitative variation of flavonol derivatives, and in particular of quercetin 3-O-glucuronide, based on the collection time and the leaf height on the grapevine. Results underlined that the influence of abiotic factors, such as exposure to sunlight, which is pivotal in the biosynthesis of such compounds, should be strictly considered for their full recovery.

In the current scientific and technological scenario, wearable neuroimaging devices represent a revolution in neuroscience and wearable technology. These tools combine the features of neuroimaging technologies with the convenience of wearable devices, enabling real-time exploration of brain activity in real-world contexts. This convergence defines new perspectives in scientific research, medical diagnosis, and human performance analysis. Technologies such as EEG and fNIRS enable the non-invasive monitoring of brain activity without the need for heavy clinical equipment. Indeed, miniaturization, portability, wireless communication, and energy efficiency are key objectives in the design of advanced devices. In such a scenario, comfort is a key requirement to enable widespread use in different contexts, requiring the design of lightweight and minimally invasive wearable devices. The literature review examines the impact of wearable EEG and fNIRS devices on the user in real-life and laboratory environments in terms of usability and acceptability. The study presents evaluation and design factors—applied to laboratory testing—defined to improve the quality and perception of the user experience and to ensure the accuracy of cognitive load detection. These results will be useful in defining wearable devices, new applications, and future challenges for BCI.

A little less than a decade after the emergence of Industry 4.0 in the industrial world, the new paradigm 5.0 is gaining ground, which is simultaneously reflected in the definition of a smart society. In fact, we are witnessing an innovative transition that defines the pace of technological, but also economic and social change. Starting from the innovations of the fourth industrial revolution, Industry 5.0 "repositions" technologies completely at the service of people and the whole of humanity. The research aims to identify - through a comparative analysis of case studies and best practices - the points of contact and implementations arising from the transition from paradigm 4.0 to the human-centric approach 5.0 to define the future scenarios of manufacturing that see man and machine synchronized and synergistically working together to improve the efficiency of production. Poco menos de una década después de la aparición de la Industria 4.0 en el mundo industrial, gana terreno el nuevo paradigma 5.0, que se refleja simultáneamente en la definición de una sociedad inteligente. De hecho, asistimos a una transición innovadora que define el ritmo del cambio tecnológico, pero también económico y social. Partiendo de las innovaciones de la cuarta revolución industrial, la Industria 5.0 "reposiciona" completamente las tecnologías al servicio de las personas y de toda la humanidad. La investigación pretende identificar -mediante un análisis comparativo de estudios de casos y mejores prácticas- los puntos de contacto y las implementaciones derivadas de la transición del paradigma 4.0 al enfoque centrado en el ser humano 5.0 para definir los escenarios futuros de la fabricación que ven al hombre y a la máquina trabajando juntos de forma sincronizada y sinérgica para mejorar la eficiencia de la producción. Quasi un decennio dopo l'emergere dell'Industria 4.0 nel mondo industriale, sta guadagnando terreno il nuovo paradigma 5.0, che si riflette contemporaneamente nella definizione di una società intelligente. Infatti, stiamo assistendo a una transizione innovativa che sta definendo il ritmo del cambiamento tecnologico, economico e sociale. Partendo dalle innovazioni della quarta rivoluzione industriale, l'Industria 5.0 "riposiziona" completamente le tecnologie al servizio delle persone e di tutta l'umanità. La ricerca mira a identificare, attraverso un'analisi comparativa di casi di studio e migliori pratiche, i punti di contatto e le implementazioni derivanti dalla transizione dal paradigma 4.0 all'approccio centrato sull'essere umano 5.0 per definire gli scenari futuri della produzione che vedono l'uomo e la macchina lavorare insieme in modo sincronizzato e sinergico per migliorare l'efficienza produttiva.

Coastal erosion, extreme climate events, and the loss of biodiversity are important consequences of climate change that directly impact our society. The needs to develop effective engineering practices using nature as model and mentor are now emerging aimed to develop high-performance coastal infrastructures integrating and sustaining local marine ecosystems. In this scenario, the present article describes the concept development and preliminary experimentation of simplified bioinspired models to evaluate their hydraulic performances. This study is part of a future vision to develop submerged barriers, printed with eco-friendly materials, characterized by high hydraulic performances and cable of supporting local biodiversity. Following a top-down approach, the functional features of key organisms were abstracted and transferred to create three bioinspired models. The hydraulic performance of these models is analyzed in terms of wave transmission, reflection, and dissipation under various wave conditions. Under certain circumstances, the bioinspired barriers demonstrate wave attenuation comparable to traditional submerged breakwaters. A method based on skin friction and drag-related processes provides a simple heuristic explanation of how the shape of the models affect the transmission coefficient. The results achieved offer valuable insights for the design of future coastal defense systems that are inspired by, and integrated with, natural ecosystems.
