IIoT and Industry 4.0 have enabled, in turn, revolutionary approaches toward energy management for commercial buildings by giving way to more intelligent data-driven decision-making mechanisms. The work presented in this paper aims to discuss the role of electronic sensors and embedded systems as an enabler for real-time forecasting of energy consumption in IIoT-enabled infrastructures. The three most common machine learning algorithms, XGBoost, LightGBM, and Random Forest, were compared in comprehensive detail with all types of sensor data: electricity, chilled water, hot water, and steam. Unlike previous research, which has usually focused on a single model or limited evaluation criteria, the research compared multiple models on seven different performance metrics such as RMSE, R 2 , MAE, SMAPE, MSLE, F1 Score, and Precision. The results have shown that XGBoost has outperformed other models consistently in terms of accuracy, proving its potential in improving energy efficiency and enabling predictive maintenance schemes in smart buildings. These observations enhance overall understanding in terms of effective incorporation of machine learning models into IIoT-centric energy management systems and provide considerable guidance for further development in energy-efficient infrastructure.

The paper explores the gamification of therapeutic tools for speech and hearing disorders. The goal was to develop a web application in the form of a game to test communication development of children by the TEKOS II. The web application, game story and principles, speech and picture stimuli were designed and developed. The designed concept brings a new view of how the TEKOS test can be realized, where children are directly involved through a game-like application, which can provide additional information and which enhances the diagnostics of comprehension problems. The designed prototype can be especially useful in cases where there is no person who is able to answer questions about which words a child can understand and speak. The prototype was evaluated in short tests under laboratory conditions. The overall impression of the designed prototype is positive, where the story, speech and visual stimuli are positively assessed.

This paper aims to streamline and accelerate the quality evaluation of vegetable oil used in fryers. We attempt to train the algorithm using several machine learning methods on the data measured by an M-Sequence Ultra-wideband impedance spectrometer, which enables wideband sensing from almost DC to 6 GHz. Using the machine learning AutoEncoder method, we achieved the best results with an Mean Absolute Error value of around 0.25 compared to other methods.

The amount of electronics waste is increasing rapidly, and replacing traditional electronics materials with biodegradable alternatives is essential where possible. Four types of biodegradable substrates with $35 \mu \mathrm{~m}$ thick laminated copper layer have been analysed in this research work. All the substrates are based on polylactic acid laminates with flax reinforcement. The first type is a pure PLA laminate. The second, third and fourth types incorporate polymer interlayers (polypropylene or polyamide) to facilitate the adhesion between the copper layer and the substrate. Note that the interlayers are not biodegradable but will be swapped with biodegradable alternatives in the future. Copper peel strength was measured using a standard test pattern described in IPC-TM650. The copper layers were peeled off using an Instron 5965 test equipment, and the applied load was recorded automatically. A custom sliding sample holder was designed, allowing the vertical peeling of the copper layer. In addition to the copper peeling test, surface-mounted resistors in different sizes were assembled with low-temperature reflow soldering, and the shear strength of their solder joints was investigated.

This paper focuses on the problem of face images reconstruction from short audio segments. Built in PyTorch, the speech-to-face pipeline retains the core methodology of the others presented in the previous works, but with the introduction of a few key modifications. Leveraging a comprehensive dataset of internet audio recordings, a deep neural network undergoes training to discern correlations between voice and facial features. Through self-supervised learning, various physical attributes such as age, gender and ethnicity are captured without the need for explicit feature analysis. The evaluation process quantifies the fidelity of reconstructions, measuring the resemblance to the actual facial images solely from audio data through numerical metrics.

A new compact ESPAR antenna is investigated in this paper. The proposed antenna has 12 directional radiation patterns based on 12 passive elements and can be successfully used in Wireless Sensor Network applications. In proposed antenna design, the possibilities of 3D printing were used to implement a dielectric miniaturization overlay that allowed for reducing antenna occupied area by almost 60% and antenna profile by 27% in comparison to the standard ESPAR antenna. The total dimensions of the antenna are 98 mm in diameter and 20.25 mm in height, while the weight of the antenna is only 86 g, which makes it much more suitable for potential use in UAV-based wireless communication applications.

This article focuses on specifying and optimizing one primary order group, Ristretto255, which is suitable for securely implementing higher and more complex modern cryptographic protocols. The Ristretto255 Group is employed across a spectrum of modern cryptographic applications, spanning zero-knowledge protocols, elliptic curve cryptography, key exchange protocols, etc. In this article, we present the principles and optimization of Ristretto255 Group implementation for embedded cryptographic applications based on the Bernstein elliptic curve Curve25519. In our implementation, with a combination of the C programming language and Assembler, we achieved a faster and more compact result on a microcontroller built on 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 core. We have prepared our Ristretto255 Group transformation implementation that serves as a compliant building block for cryptographic protocols operating at the 128-bit security level.

This paper provides an overview of methods for measuring the stereotype bias of pre-trained language models. It explains the term ‘stereotype bias’ and its measurement. A comprehensive review of language model debiasing techniques, including Dropout, Counterfactual Data Augmentation, Iterative Nullspace Projection, Sent-Debias, Self-Debias, Context-Debias, FairFil, and Auto-Debias, is provided. Subsequently, these techniques are compared, and their advantages and disadvantages are highlighted. In addition, there is an explanation of how these techniques work simply. In the future, debiasing techniques will be tested on pre-trained models for the Slovak language, focusing on the task of toxic language detection.
