Key Facts on Resilience

چکیده
Resilience research holds promise for its potential to inform treatment of stress-related pathology. Likewise, a better understanding of the mechanisms that promote resilience can inform training programs aimed at preventing maladaptive responses to trauma (e.g., stress inoculation training). However, the emergence of programs offering methods to make individuals resilient suggests the term may be misunderstood. Resilience as a construct has traditionally lacked a consistent, complete and measurable definition. Such definitional ambiguity has partly contributed to the term being incorrectly applied and as a result, asymptomatic individuals are often deemed resilient. Moreover, what were previously known as treatment and training have been renamed “resilience building.” At best, such relabeling might reduce the stigma of traditional mental health treatment. At worst, an expanding use of the term may confound a growing database of evidence-based factors that really do differentiate those who do bounce back from stress from those who don’t. This paper aims to define resilience and provide a brief review of the literature that highlights the key psychosocial factors and biological markers of resilience.

Explaining the model of City Resilience to Earthquake, Regarding Natural Site of Cities (Case Study: Qazvin city)
Cities are among the most fragile biological settlements due to their complex internal structure and the influence by different variables. Given the realities of these settlements, in the event of devastating events such as earthquakes, these cities are definitely more fragile; consequently, returning to normal life seems to be much longer and costly. Therefore, considering the importance of th...
متن کاملHybrid Key pre-distribution scheme for wireless sensor network based on combinatorial design
Key distribution is an important problem in wireless sensor networks where sensor nodesare randomly scattered in adversarial environments.Due to the random deployment of sensors, a list of keys must be pre-distributed to each sensor node before deployment. To establish a secure communication, two nodes must share common key from their key-rings. Otherwise, they can find a key- path in which ens...
متن کاملWhat Is Resilience and How Can It Be Nurtured? A Systematic Review of Empirical Literature on Organizational Resilience
Background Recent health system shocks such as the Ebola outbreak of 2014–2016 and the global financial crisis of 2008 have generated global health interest in the concept of resilience. The concept is however not new, and has been applied to other sectors for a longer period of time. We conducted a review of empirical literature from both the health and other sectors to synthesize evidence on ...
متن کاملMitigating Node Capture Attack in Random Key Distribution Schemes through Key Deletion
Random Key Distribution (RKD) schemes have been widely accepted to enable low-cost secure communications in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). However, efficiency of secure link establishment comes with the risk of compromised communications between benign nodes by adversaries who physically capture sensor nodes. The challenge is to enhance resilience of WSN against node capture, while maintainin...
