The article discusses the impact of voice recognition and containerization technologies in the industrial sector, particularly on Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) devices. It highlights how voice assistants like Alexa, Siri, Cortana, and Google Assistant are pioneering and pushing the future of human-machine interfaces, with applications moving from smart homes to industrial automation. Containerization, illustrated by Docker, is transforming software deployment practices, offering benefits such as enhanced portability, modular architecture, and improved security when applied to industrial PLCs. The article introduces a novel approach to enhancing human-machine interfaces (HMIs) within industrial applications, leveraging voice recognition and containerization technologies on Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). Unlike traditional systems, this article integrates voice assistant with industrial PLCs through a containerized IoT architecture. This innovative framework enables efficient deployment on edge devices, supporting modular, portable, and secure operations aligned with Industry 4.0 and 5.0 paradigms. The study further includes a detailed implementation on microcontrollers and industrial PLCs, validating its application in a controlled laboratory environment and virtual model.

Tracing the evolution of informed consent from the Hippocratic tradition to the Ottoman Empire reveals its enduring role as a fundamental ethical principle supporting patient autonomy. Spanning diverse medical and cultural landscapes-including Ancient Greece, Byzantium, Islamic medicine and Ottoman legal practices-this historical trajectory uncovers a continuous and evolving dialogue between physicians and patients. It reflects a persistent recognition of the moral and practical necessity for physicians to share medical information and for patients to engage voluntarily in decisions regarding their health.

Introduction: Decades of armed conflict in Colombia have deeply undermined public trust in the health system, particularly within rural regions. The legacy of violence has restricted healthcare delivery in these areas, concentrating services in urban centers and exacerbating geographic and social inequities. Informal caregivers in rural communities, essential yet often overlooked actors in healthcare, face significant challenges due to structural limitations and lack of institutional support.

Emotion recognition, one key aspect of emotion reasoning, is crucial to socioemotional development in childhood. While much developmental research has focused on facial emotion recognition, studies on the recognition of emotions conveyed through vocal bursts remain relatively scarce, despite the voice being one of the primary channels for conveying emotion. To address this gap, we investigated (a) how recognition accuracy across six well-studied emotions in vocal bursts changes between the ages of 5 and 8 (N = 162, 47.

When we hear someone speak, we do not just perceive "a voice." Instead, we use the sound of the voice to make sense of who we are talking to. If the voice is unfamiliar, we form an often complex first impression by inferring various characteristics about the person.

The ability to recognize speakers by their voice despite acoustical variation plays a substantial role in primate social interactions. Although neurons in the macaque anterior temporal lobe (ATL) show invariance to face viewpoint, whether they also encode abstract representations of caller identity is not known. Here, we demonstrate that neurons in the voice-selective ATL of two macaques support invariant voice identity representations through dynamic population-level coding.
