a r t i c l e i n f o In this work we develop a new approach to study the energy import resilience of an economy using linear programming and economic input–output analysis. In particular, we propose an energy import resilience index by examining the maximum level of energy import reduction that the economy can endure without sacrificing domestic demands. A mixed integer programming model is th...

Children with chronic pain are vulnerable to adverse outcomes, such as impaired quality of life and poor functioning. Recent risk and resilience models for adult chronic pain have aimed to conceptualize the complexity of pain, which may prove useful for pediatric populations. The purpose of this study was to examine the unique predictive value of prominent pain-related risk factors, investigate...

Socioeconomic drought broadly refers to conditions whereby the water supply cannot satisfy the demand. Most previous studies describe droughts based on large-scale meteorological/hydrologic conditions, ignoring the demand and local resilience to cope with climate variability. Reservoirs provide resilience against climatic extremes and play a key role in water supply and demand management. Here ...

With the upsurge of frequent disruptive events, organizations have become more vulnerable to the consequences of these disruptive events. As a result, the need for more resilient supply chain (SC) to mitigate the vulnerabilities has become paramount. Supply chain resilience (SCR) has been discussed in the literature and resilience index has been developed, but developing and selecting a portfol...

www.frontiersinecology.org © The Ecological Society of America E and lawyers deal with uncertainty in very different ways. Ecologists and environmental scientists approach uncertainty as an opportunity to do research, while lawyers (including judges) often view uncertainty as a barrier to enforceability and action. This tension at the intersection of law and science is particularly troublesome ...

INTRODUCTION Anxiety sensitivity has been proposed as a psychological vulnerability factor for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Studies have also supported the protective role of resilience for overcoming the negative effects of trauma exposure. Given the linkages between anxiety sensitivity, resilience, trauma exposure and post-traumatic stress, this study explored the potential moderati...

BACKGROUND The mental health of children and adolescents is a key area of health concern internationally. Previous empirical studies suggest that resilience may act as a protective mechanism towards the development of mental health problems. Resilience refers to the ability to employ a collection of protective factors to return to or maintain positive mental health following disadvantage or adv...
