Social workers often deal with complex, challenging, and emotionally exhausting situations that can negatively impact their mental physical health. When a helping professional is in distress, client care may be compromised. Therefore, the necessity of wellness practices to reduce stress mitigate burnout gaining recognition social work profession. The National Association Workers (2013) asserts ...

Wireless Sensor Networks have some well known features such as low battery consumption, changing topology awareness, open environment, non reliable radio links, etc. In this paper, we investigate the benefits of Network Coding Wireless Sensor networking, especially resiliency. One of our main concern is the resiliency in Wireless Sensor Networks. We have seen that resiliency could be described ...

As HPC systems and applications get bigger and more complex, we are approaching an era in which resiliency and run-time elasticity concerns become paramount. We offer a building block for an alternative resiliency approach in which computations will be able to make progress while components fail, in addition to enabling a dynamic set of nodes throughout a computation lifetime. The core of our s...

War atrocities, natural disasters, community violence, physical abuse and catastrophic illnesses are many faces of trauma and are endemic and the children are the most vulnerable victims. Since 1994, this author has visited war zones and disaster areas 80 times in 18 different countries and has collected data on children's reactions across cultures. Most children around the world show similar r...

We extend the results of Part I by considering a new class of agreement tasks, the so-called k-Threshold Agreement tasks (previously introduced by Charron-Bost and Le Fessant). These tasks naturally interpolate between Atomic Commitment and Consensus. Moreover, they constitute a valuable tool to derive irreducibility results between Consensus tasks only. In particular, they allow us to show tha...

Host intrusion detection systems (HIDSs) are important tools used to provide security to computer systems. Many HIDSs exist and security practitioners need a way to determine the optimal security solution for their environment. Current evaluations of HIDSs focus on detection accuracy and typically do not account for the possibility that an adversary may subvert the HIDS and modify the outcome. ...

High resilient and high nonlinear Boolean functions are desirable for secure key generators in stream ciphers, for example. This paper rst shows that there exists a tradeo between resiliency and nonlinearity. Then we show a new simple design method for high resilient and high nonlinear Boolean functions. Our method gives higher nonlinearity than [Zhang and Zheng 95] while their method gives lar...

South African youth in low-income, urbanized communities are exposed to high levels of daily stressors, which increase their risk to negative outcomes. Resiliency can provide avenues for youth to transcend adversity and may contribute to their positive development. To provide a deeper understanding of the pathways that adolescents use to overcome adversity, this paper examined future aspiration...

Research Needs: Natural and man-made disasters encountered in the past decade (e.g., the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001, the London Bombing in 2005, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005, Minneapolis’ 35W bridge collapse in 2007, Christchurch, New Zealand’s earthquake in February 2011, Japan’s devastating earthquake/tsunami in March 2011, and the Superstorm Sandy in 2012) have repeatedly emphasiz...

Purpose Physician distress is common and related to numerous factors including loss of control over the practice environment, workload, specialty choice, experience with suffering, interpersonal relationships, debt, poor self-care, maladaptive coping strategies and stressful life events such as divorce. The current study was designed to assess the effect of a Stress Management and Resiliency Tr...
