Asphalt Pavement Damage Detection through Deep Learning Technique and Cost-Effective Equipment: A Case Study in Urban Roads Crossed by Tramway Lines

Infrastructures
Asphalt pavements are subject to regular inspection and maintenance activities over time. Many techniques have been suggested to evaluate pavement surface conditions, but most of these are either labour-intensive tasks or require costly instruments. This

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1059-1080, April 2025.
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

The Power to Care for Oneself: Power Increases Self‐Compassion

European Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sense of power and self‐compassion both impact important intrapsychic and interpersonal outcomes. However, how powerholders treat themselves when experiencing failure or personal setbacks is unclear. We propose that powerholders are more apt than their lower‐power counterparts to exhibit self‐compassion when faced with difficulties. Across six

‘Working Through’ Interpersonal Transgressions: The Role of Narration (and Re‐Narration) in the Self‐Forgiveness Processes of Wrongdoers

European Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research examines how wrongdoers may use narration to ‘work through’ a transgression committed, towards self‐forgiveness and reconciliation. In Study 1 (N = 30), reflexive thematic analysis was used to identify narrative types observable in wrongdoers’ storying of a recent interpersonal transgression, informing our conceptual framework ...

Seizure forecasting: The long and winding road to clinical translation

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Seizure forecasting has progressed from theoretical aspiration to a rapidly advancing research domain, yet clinical translation remains limited. Over the past decades, advances in algorithm development, chronic electroencephalography (EEG), wearable sensors, and the characterization of seizure cycles have demonstrated that seizure risk is not ...
