The paper addresses how measures of resilience (engineering) can be added to the existing portfolio of principles and practices of safety management. Resilience (engineering) is not just advances in applied methodology, but another approach based on different assumptions and a radically different system model. Hence, the integration of resilience into the safety management portfolio will also h...

Resilience is often associated with extreme trauma or overcoming extraordinary odds. This way of thinking about resilience leaves most of the ontogenetic picture a mystery. In the following review we put forth the Everyday Stress Resilience Hypothesis where resilience is analyzed from a systems perspective and seen as a process of regulating everyday life stressors. Successful regulation accumu...

Background Recent health system shocks such as the Ebola outbreak of 2014–2016 and the global financial crisis of 2008 have generated global health interest in the concept of resilience. The concept is however not new, and has been applied to other sectors for a longer period of time. We conducted a review of empirical literature from both the health and other sectors to synthesize evidence on ...

Recent global crises have brought into sharp relief the absolute necessity of resilient health systems that can recognise and react to societal crises. While such crises focus the global mind, the real work lies, however, in being resilient in the face of routine, multiple challenges.

Research has shown that psychosocial and health characteristics may affect older adults' cognitive performance, self-referent beliefs, and general adaptive resilience. Are such characteristics related specifically to older adults' reported efforts to compensate for memory losses? The Memory Compensation Questionnaire (MCQ) measures 5 mechanisms of everyday memory compensation as well as 2 gener...

Major and minor disturbances can have a considerable impact effect on the performance of road networks. In this respect, resilience is considered as the ability of a road section to resist and to recover from disturbances in traffic flow. In this contribution an indicator is presented, the Link Performance Index for Resilience (LPIR), which evaluates the resilience level of individual road sect...
