Abstract	In early 2016, we had the opportunity to test a pair of sprawling posture robots, one designed to mimic a crocodile and another designed to mimic a monitor lizard, along the banks of the Nile River in Uganda, Africa. These robots were developed uniquely for a documentary by the BBC called Spy in the Wild and fell at the intersection of our interests in developing robots to study animals and robots for disaster response and other missions in challenging environments. The documentary required that these robots not only walk and swim in the same harsh, natural environments as the animals that they were modeled on and film up close but also move and even look exactly like the real animals from an aesthetic perspective. This pushed us to take a fundamentally different approach to the design and building of biorobots compared with our typical laboratory-residing robots, in addition to collaborating with sculpting artists to enhance our robots' aesthetics. The robots needed to be designed on the basis of a systematic study of data on the model specimens, be fabricated rapidly, and be reliable and robust enough to handle what the wild would throw at them. Here, we share the research efforts of this collaboration, the design specifications of the robots' hardware and software, the lessons learned from testing these robots in the field first hand, and how the eye-opening experience shaped our subsequent work on disaster response robotics and biorobotics for challenging amphibious scenarios.

Abstract	In this paper, we present a novel compression method based on partial differential equations complemented by block sorting and symbol prediction. Block sorting is performed using the Burrows–Wheeler transform, while symbol prediction is performed using the context mixing method. With these transformations, the range coder is used as a lossless compression method. The objective and subjective quality evaluation of the reconstructed image illustrates the efficiency of this new compression method and is compared with the current standards, JPEG and JPEG 2000.

Abstract	This data description introduces a comprehensive knowledge graph (KG) dataset with detailed information about the relevant high-level semantics of visual stimuli used to induce emotional states stored in the Nencki Affective Picture System (NAPS) repository. The dataset contains 6808 systematically manually assigned annotations for 1356 NAPS pictures in 5 categories, linked to WordNet synsets and Suggested Upper Merged Ontology (SUMO) concepts presented in a tabular format. Both knowledge databases provide an extensive and supervised taxonomy glossary suitable for describing picture semantics. The annotation glossary consists of 935 WordNet and 513 SUMO entities. A description of the dataset and the specific processes used to collect, process, review, and publish the dataset as open data are also provided. This dataset is unique in that it captures complex objects, scenes, actions, and the overall context of emotional stimuli with knowledge taxonomies at a high level of quality. It provides a valuable resource for a variety of projects investigating emotion, attention, and related phenomena. In addition, researchers can use this dataset to explore the relationship between emotions and high-level semantics or to develop data-retrieval tools to generate personalized stimuli sequences. The dataset is freely available in common formats (Excel and CSV).

Abstract	Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic forced many businesses to shift towards remote and hybrid working models. This study explored the association of the work-from-home model with employee satisfaction, work-life balance, and work-model preferences within MPlus Group, a leader in telework within the business process and technology outsourcing (BPTO) industry. Methods: We analyzed survey responses of 4,554 employees of MPlus Group across seven countries to assess the associations of working from home with job satisfaction, work-life balance, and preference regarding continuing to work from home. Results: Employees working within all models, and both women and men, reported high levels of job satisfaction and work-life balance, and most employees working from home expressed a desire to continue doing so. Discussion: Our findings suggest working from home does not lead to lower job satisfaction or work-life balance in the BPTO and similar industries. The study provides insights for organizations and policymakers navigating post-pandemic work dynamics. However, further research is needed to examine the long-term implications of remote work across diverse industries.

Abstract	To test the effects of bentonite addition at various stages of fermentation, five Malvazija istarska white grape must vinification treatments were performed with 100 g/hL of bentonite added in clear juice, at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of fermentation, while control was fermented without bentonite. Phenols and free and bound volatile aromas were determined by HPLC-DAD and SPE-GC-MS. Wines were evaluated sensorially. Fining during fermentation reduced the total bentonite dose required, and was most effective near the end of fermentation with the reduction of 16% and 21%, depending on the protein stability test. All treated wines preserved more hydroxycinnamoyltartaric acids with respect to control. The side-effect of these treatments on varietal aromas was moderate, but enhanced the preservation of key fermentation volatiles in relation to control, and exhibited positive sensory effects. It was concluded that bentonite added during fermentation may positively affect wine quantity and quality.

Abstract	Six different vinification treatments, including a control treatment (7-day standard maceration) (K7), were performed to study the effects of non-standard techniques on bioactive compounds and sensory attributes of Teran red wine. Pre-fermentative mash cooling (8 °C; 48 h) and heating (50 °C; 48 h) followed by prolonged post-fermentative maceration of 13 days (C15;H15) or 28 days (C30;H30) were applied. In another treatment, after cooling, saignée was performed followed by 13-day prolonged maceration (CS15). Wine phenols and vitamins were analyzed by HPLC-DAD-FLD, minerals by ICP-OES, and sensory analysis was performed using the QDA and 100-point O.I.V./U.I.O.E. methods. Obtained results showed total phenolic concentration was the highest in the H30 treatment. The concentration of anthocyanins, flavan-3-ols and phenolic acids was significantly higher in wines of all vinification techniques compared to the control. Stilbene content was highly affected by pre-fermentative heating. Treatments CS15, H15, C30 and H30 resulted in the highest scores by both the QDA and 100-point sensory methods. The obtained results suggest that advanced non-standard vinification techniques have a significant impact on Teran wine by enhancing its composition of bioactive compounds and improving its sensory profile, which gives it an additional market value. Furthermore, a comprehensive comparison of such techniques applied simultaneously in one study is of substantial importance for additional research in wine production.

Abstract	Aim: To assess whether the number of patients with a cardiac chief complaint and their characteristics differed between before and after two major earthquakes that struck Croatia in 2020. Methods: We collected data on all visits of patients with a cardiac chief complaint examined in the emergency departments of six hospitals nearest to the epicenters. Patients seen during the 7 days before the earthquake were compared with those seen on the day and during the 6 days after the earthquake. Results: Patients seen after the earthquake were younger (68 [59-79] vs 72.5 [65-80]; P<0.001) and less frequently had cardiovascular disease (32.9% vs 42.8%; P<0.001). This group less frequently had the primary diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (15.6% vs 21.9%; P=0.005), heart failure (9.3% vs 19.4%; P<0.001), dysregulated hypertension (13.9% vs 19.4%; P=0.01), but more frequently had non-anginal chest discomfort (28.8% vs 18.0%; P<0.001). In a subgroup analysis of patients seen in hospitals located within 20 km from the epicenter, significantly more patients seen after the earthquake compared with those seen before the earthquake presented with AMI (14.5% vs 22.8%; P=0.028), acute elevation of blood pressure (10% vs 21.8%, P=0.001), and paroxysmal arrhythmias treated with electrocardioversion (0.9% vs 4.5%, P=0.022). Conclusion: After two moderately strong earthquakes, hospitals within 20 km from the epicenter saw a significant increase in acute cardiac conditions such as elevated blood pressure, AMI, and cardioverted arrhythmias. Eventually, these earthquakes had no impact on the outcomes of the studied population.

Abstract	The growing emergence of antimicrobial resistance represents a global problem that not only influences healthcare systems but also has grave implications for political and economic processes. As the discovery of novel antimicrobial agents is lagging, one of the solutions is innovative therapeutic options that would expand our armamentarium against this hazard. Compounds of interest in many such studies are antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which actually represent the host's first line of defense against pathogens and are involved in innate immunity. They have a broad range of antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, fungi, and viruses, with specific mechanisms of action utilized by different AMPs. Coupled with a lower propensity for resistance development, it is becoming clear that AMPs can be seen as emerging and very promising candidates for more pervasive usage in the treatment of infectious diseases. However, their use in quotidian clinical practice is not without challenges. In this review, we aimed to summarize state-of-the-art evidence on the structure and mechanisms of action of AMPs, as well as to provide detailed information on their antimicrobial activity. We also aimed to present contemporary evidence of clinical trials and application of AMPs and highlight their use beyond infectious diseases and potential challenges that may arise with their increasing availability.

Abstract	To investigate the effect of several vinification techniques aimed to enhance wine phenolic profile and sensory quality, maceration treatments of different duration and temperature (pre-fermentative cold one day maceration at 10 °C, seven days maceration at 16 °C, and prolonged post-fermentative 21 day maceration at 16 °C) and non-maceration treatments including tannin addition and late harvest grapes vinification were performed and compared to a standard white grape processing treatment. Produced wines were subjected to the analysis of phenols by high-performance liquid chromatography, colour intensity, and quantitative descriptive and hedonic sensory analysis. The increase in individual phenolic compound concentrations was mostly pronounced in maceration treatment wines, for both phenolic acids and flavan-3-ols, as well as for the sum of phenolic compound concentrations determined by high-performance liquid chromatography that tripled in relation to that determined in control treatment wine. Pre-fermentative cold maceration led to a moderate increase in phenolic compounds content without accentuating bitterness and astringency sensations. Wine phenolic composition and colour intensity were mostly affected by the prolonged post-fermentative 21 day maceration. Vinification of late harvest grapes produced a wine graded with the highest positive score for taste. The obtained distinct wine styles resulting from the application of the investigated practices may lead to a further diversification of white wine market.
