Awareness analysis via Weibo social media data of major fire disasters

Journal of Safety Science and Resilience
Fire, a globally significant hazard, has a detrimental impact on lives, property, and socio-economic development. Public attention to fires is crucial for building fire safety under the current disaster-driven regulation development.

Simulations All the Way Up! An Atheist's Response to the Fine‐Tuning Argument

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT So the Fine‐tuning Argument goes, because it is so unlikely for the physical constants of the laws of nature to have taken the values that they in fact take, we should significantly raise our credence that God exists. Simulation Arguments argue that our world might be (or, in stronger versions, that it probably is) a mere computer simulation ...

Leveraging an Unhappiness Lens for Smarter Policies

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traditional policy research has largely focused on enhancing happiness or well‐being, privileging positive outcomes as the primary metric of success. We argue that a systematic focus on the drivers of unhappiness—rather than solely on happiness—offers a complementary analytical framework that can uncover hidden societal deficits and broaden ...

Spaceflight and sport science: Physiological monitoring and countermeasures for the astronaut–athlete on Mars exploration missions

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Long‐duration spaceflight impacts essentially every system in the human body, resulting in multisystem deconditioning that might impair the health and performance of crewmembers, particularly on long‐duration exploration missions to Mars. In this review, we apply the sport science model of athlete monitoring, testing and training to astronauts;

Firefighting Resources Optimization to Reduce Risk of Fire Dominoes in Process Industries

Chemical Engineering Transactions
Effective control of fires in process industries is essential due to their significant potential risk to both individuals and valuable assets. Insufficient firefighting resources can lead to irreversible consequences both onsite and offsite in case of ...

The Challenges of Firefighters’ Interventions in Old Urban Centres: A Case Study

Urban Science
In many European cities, old urban centres, particularly historical centres, reveal significant limitations to the intervention of civil protection agents—namely, firefighters—in terms of their mobility and action in emergencies, thus conditioning their ...

Linking dynamic cerebral autoregulation and inhibitory executive function: Role of modifiable behaviours

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) stabilises cerebral blood flow (CBF) against rapid fluctuations in perfusion pressure and may serve as a key physiological mediator of cognitive function. Inhibitory executive function, a core domain essential for goal‐directed behaviour, is influenced by modifiable lifestyle factors such as physical ...
