چکیده
Society & Culture[1] Society & Culture[1]Trauma [2]Norway [3]Forskning.no [4] Follow-up support can make the difference between post-traumatic growth and post-traumatic stress. Recognition from work colleagues is all-important for what happens afterwards. It is well known that many people who have experienced tragic events suffer post-traumatic stress reactions later. And paradoxically, many also state that they are grateful to have experienced the harrowing event, because they have grown as a human being from it. Trond Idås is researching journalists who have covered natural disasters, terrorist acts and judicial proceedings of child abuse. And he has found that holds true for them as well. Those with the greatest risk for stress reactions afterwards also have the greatest chance for growth, and Idås believes the results of his doctoral research can be transferred to other relevant professions.

متن کاملNatural Disasters Impacting a Macroeconomic Model with Endogenous Dynamics
We investigate the macroeconomic response to natural disasters by using an endogenous business cycle (EnBC) model in which cyclical behavior arises from the investment–profit instability. Our model exhibits a larger response to natural disasters during expansions than during recessions. This apparently paradoxical result can be traced to the disasters amplifying pre-existing disequilibria durin...
متن کاملThe impact of natural disasters on child health and investments in rural India.
There is growing concern that climate change will lead to more frequent natural disasters that may adversely affect short- and long-term health outcomes in developing countries. Prior research has primarily focused on the impact of single, large disaster events but very little is known about how small and moderate disasters, which are more typical, affect population health. In this paper, we pr...
متن کاملGrowing pains: How risk perception and risk communication research can help to manage the challenges of global population growth.
In 2011, the global human population reached 7 billion and medium variant projections indicate that it will exceed 9 billion before 2045.

Several ...
