The ability of nonprofits to weather hard times is a popular theme in the literature, yet most research spent on predicting organizational closure. Unfortunately, this offers little guidance attempting both survive and deliver services during crises. We use lived experiences 31 nonprofits—a mix umbrella groups direct human service providers—during Illinois state budget impasse understand nonpro...

The purpose of the study was to contribute to the understanding of quality of life as it is experienced by a community-based, non-clinical sample of individuals with HIV/AIDS, applying family resiliency theory and the cognitive appraisal concepts. More specifically, the following variables were examined as predictors of quality of life: disease progression; the family resiliency variables of fa...

background the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between mental health, spiritual intelligence and resiliency among the kermanshah medical science university students. material and methods the sample consisted of 100 female and male students of kermanshah university of medical sciences who were selected by random sampling. the instruments were connor & davidson resilienc...

Since the 1970s, a proliferation of research and concept analysis resiliency/e has attempted to clarify whether it is trait or state. Based on this dualistic approach, studies have either operationalized “resiliency” as personality “resilience” dynamic The present review argues that trait-state dualism likely be conceptual fallacy, one fundamental reason for lack consensus. To facilitate build ...

Electrified vehicles (EVs) couple transportation and electrical infrastructures, impacting vehicle sustainability, transportation resiliency, and electrical grid stability. These impacts occur across timescales; grid stability at the millisecond scale, resiliency at the daily scale, and sustainability over years and decades. Integrated models of these systems must share data to explore timescal...

A good design of a Boolean function used in a stream cipher requires that the function satisses certain criteria in order to resist different attacks. In this paper we study the tradeoo between two such criteria , the nonlinearity and the resiliency. The results are twofold. Firstly, we establish the maximum nonlinearity for a xed resiliency in certain cases. Secondly, we present a simple searc...

We introduce a framework in parameterized algorithms whose purpose is to solve resiliency versions of decision problems. In resiliency problems, the goal is to decide whether an instance remains positive after any (appropriately defined) perturbation has been applied to it. To tackle these kinds of problems, some of which might be of practical interest, we introduce a notion of resiliency for I...

The University of Pennsylvania has a long legacy of advocating teaching styles and philosophies that engender democratic citizenship and civic engagement. In line with these central views of the University we wish to propose the creation of a new psychology academically based community service course called Penn Teaches Resiliency. This course will utilize the principles of problem solving lear...

This paper presents an initial approach related to modeling resiliency for cyberphysical systems. It discusses the concept and definitions of resiliency and outlines the process of building a model of resiliency. Through analogies with feedback control and fault tolerance, the Design for Resilience is addressed, where the design of the controller component of a cyberphysical system needs to acc...
