An Integrated Framework with SAM and OCR for Pavement Crack Quantification and Geospatial Mapping

Infrastructures
Pavement condition assessment using computer vision has emerged as an efficient alternative to traditional manual surveys, which are often labor-intensive and time-consuming. Leveraging deep learning, pavement distress such as cracks can be automatically

Death in Children's Lives: Reimagining Death Literacy in Childhood

Children &Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Children encounter death in everyday life, through family, peers, media, and health care. Opportunities for meaningful engagement with death‐related topics are limited. In this article, we reimagine death literacy—the knowledge and skills needed to navigate dying, death, and bereavement—through a child‐centred, social constructionist lens ...

Mobile Laser Scanning for Road Pavement Distress Detection

IEEE Open Journal of Intelligent Transportation Systems
This study investigates the efficacy of Mobile Laser Scanning (MLS) for detecting pavement distresses from precise 3D point cloud data. A conventional MLS system was evaluated against a high-accuracy pavement mapping reference system. The study data were collected by a Roamer-R4DW mobile mapping system equipped with a Riegl VUX-1HA scanner, while the ...

Unveiling Gut Homeostasis Disruption in Sepsis: Towards an Integrated Mechanistic and Translational Roadmap

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Elucidating the contribution of gut‐organ axes will provide new insights for developing combined therapeutic strategies against sepsis‐associated multiple organ dysfunction. ABSTRACT Sepsis, a life‐threatening clinical syndrome precipitated by a maladaptive host response to infection, is associated with substantial morbidity and high mortality rates ...

From narratives to numbers and back: Assessing the psychosocial aspects of diabetes in the era of high technology with emerging qualitative and quantitative methodologies

Diabetic Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Rapid changes in diabetes therapy combined with limitations of traditional methodological approaches challenge the field of psychosocial research to adequately capture the experiences of people with diabetes. This narrative review provides an overview of emerging qualitative and quantitative approaches that can advance the study of ...

Group‐based interventions to reduce diabetes distress in adults with type 1 diabetes: A rapid realist review of the Reduce and TunedIn interventions

Diabetic Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Diabetes distress is highly prevalent among adults with type 1 diabetes, yet remains under‐recognised and rarely addressed in routine diabetes care. This rapid realist review aimed to identify how, why, for whom, and in what contexts group‐based interventions reduce elevated diabetes distress in adults with type 1 diabetes, to inform the ...

Psychological research in eating disorders/disordered eating in type 1 diabetes: A systematic review using the NIH stage model for behavioural intervention development

Diabetic Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Eating disorders in type 1 diabetes are 2.4 times more likely to develop than those who do not have diabetes. The aim was to conduct a systematic review on psychological interventions in IRDEB (insulin‐related disordered eating behaviour)/eating disorders with adults who have type 1 diabetes.
