This interdisciplinary article uses what Das has termed ‘the everyday work of repair’ as a framework for thinking about resilience. It is not the first to discuss resilience and everyday. What novel context in which it does so. Extant scholarship on conflict-related sexual violence largely overlooked concept Addressing this gap, draws semi-structured interviews with victims-/survivors Bosnia He...

The current meta-analysis aimed to review the relationship between trait resilience and mental health, and examine some moderating variables such as participant age, gender, and adversity. A total of 60 studies and 111 effect sizes were analyzed. We found that: (1) Trait resilience was negatively correlated to negative indicators of mental health and positively correlated to positive indicators...

Law plays an essential role in shaping natural resource and environmental policy, but unfortunately, many environmental laws were developed around the prevailing scientific understanding that there was a “balance of nature” that could be managed and sustained. This view assumes that natural resource managers have the capacity to predict the behavior of ecological systems, know what its importan...

BACKGROUND Resilience is the capacity to recover and to cope successfully with everyday challenges. Resilience has intrinsic and extrinsic components and an effort has been made to study the intrinsic component and its association with sociodemographic factors, among the entry level students of the Integrated Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) course. METHOD The present study...

The paper investigates different approaches of transcendence in the sense of spiritual experience as predictors for general psychological resilience. This issue is based on the theoretical assumption that resilience does play a role for physical health. Furthermore, there is a lack of empirical evidence about the extent to which spirituality does play a role for resilience. As potential predict...

In this paper, we present an efficient k-out-of-n secret sharing scheme, which can identify up to t rushing cheaters, with probability at least 1 − , where 0 < < 1/2, provided t < k/2. This is the optimal number of cheaters that can be tolerated in the setting of public cheater identification, on which we focus in this work. In our scheme, the set of all possible shares Vi satisfies the conditi...

to be collected (such as deaths, injuries, economic loss, people affected). Protocols (or ontologies) for hazard and impact definitions also are needed to ensure compatible loss attribution, particularly for complex events consisting of multiple hazard types. Furthermore, to foster trust, transparency and accountability, the information must be publicly available and curated by accepted bodies,...

Welcome to DCCS 2012 in Boston! All of us depend upon computers in our everyday lives. But, as the complexity of computer-based systems and networks grows, it is ever more challenging to provide resilience to malicious attacks, accidental faults, design errors, and unexpected operating conditions. Beyond that, such systems are increasingly trusted to provide safety, confidentiality, and near-co...
