Disciplining the “Queen of the World”? Responsible Innovation as a Way of Life
Business Ethics, the Environment &Responsibility, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper offers a critical reflection on the concept of responsible innovation as defined during the last decades. We argue that the emphasis on innovation as a process risks neglecting the very goals of innovation, namely societal desirability and acceptability. Thus, we suggest reconsidering the role of imagination, the “Queen of the world”

Shuffle Attention-Based Pavement-Sealed Crack Distress Detection
SensorsTo enhance the detection of pavement-sealed cracks and ensure the long-term stability of pavement performance, a novel approach called the shuffle attention-based pavement-sealed crack detection is proposed. This method consists of three essential components: the feature extraction network, the detection head, and the Wise Intersection over Union loss ...
