Many infrastructure networks have a modular structure and are also interdependent with other infrastructures. While significant research has explored the resilience of interdependent networks, there has been no analysis of the effects of modularity. Here we develop a theoretical framework for attacks on interdependent modular networks and support our results through simulations. We focus, for s...

There is a concern that mishap reporting systems track information about previous anomalies but do little to protect against future failures. In contrast, the term ‘resilience engineering’ has been coined to describe techniques that identify the thousands of everyday positive actions that prevent accidents from occurring. This change of perspective poses significant theoretical and pragmatic ch...

Building nurses' resilience to complex and stressful practice environments is necessary to keep skilled nurses in the workplace and ensuring safe patient care. A unified theoretical framework titled Health Services Workplace Environmental Resilience Model (HSWERM), is presented to explain the environmental factors in the workplace that promote nurses' resilience. The framework builds on a previ...

Churn resilience is an important topic in DHT research. In this paper, I present techniques to improve churn resilience and their effects. All the techniques can be implemented in a DHT layer and require no change to underlying routing layers. In other words, they do not depend on a specific routing algorithm and can work with various algorithms.

objective: resilience is the personal ability to adapt successfully with unpleasant situations and maintain or regain bio-psychological well-being. resilience could be promoted through self-management educational programs. in this study, we tried to investigate if self-management education could improve resilience in diabetic patients. materials and methods: the current study was a semi experim...

Resilience denotes an organization’s ability to adjust effectively to the multifaceted impact of internal and external events over a significant time period. To be resilient, an organisation must be able to deal with unexpected and disruptive events as well as to understand the longer term impact of such events. In the Financial Services domain this translates into the ability to identify and s...

Urban resilience has gained considerable popularity in planning and policy to address cities’ capacity cope with climate change. While many studies discuss the different ways that academics define resilience, little attention been given how is conceptualized across urban contexts among actors engage building ‘on ground’. Given implications frames can have for solutions are pursued (and who bene...

Objective Previous studies have reported that childhood maltreatment experiences could induce biological and psychological vulnerability in depressive disorders. However, it is still unclear that type-specific effects of childhood maltreatment on psychological resilience, depressive symptoms and interactions among childhood maltreatment experiences, resilience, and depressive symptoms. Method...
