The management of emergencies and abnormal situations in the Air Traffic Control (ATC) system entails substantial challenges for the air traffic controllers. The inherent complexity and dynamics of the ATC system can give rise to numerous cases of failure and controllers have to develop failure-sensitive strategies to counteract and forestall any paths to failure. Failure-sensitive strategies i...

Cities are among the most fragile biological settlements due to their complex internal structure and the influence by different variables. Given the realities of these settlements, in the event of devastating events such as earthquakes, these cities are definitely more fragile; consequently, returning to normal life seems to be much longer and costly. Therefore, considering the importance of th...

Our research is aimed at developing a quantitative approach for assessing supply chain resilience to disasters, a topic that has been discussed primarily in a qualitative manner in the literature. For this purpose, we propose a simulation-based framework that incorporates concepts of resilience into the process of supply chain design. In this context, resilience is defined as the ability of a s...

Awareness of the risks of burnout, depression, learner mistreatment, and suboptimal learning environments is increasing in academic medicine. A growing wellness and resilience movement has emerged in response to these disturbing trends; however, efforts to address threats to physician resilience have often emphasized strategies to improve life outside of work, with less attention paid to the ro...

Stressful life events (SLEs) are frequently associated with a range of deleterious mental and physical health outcomes. However, some individuals exhibit resilience, defined as maintained or even improved health in the wake of SLEs. How and why might this be the case? Given that SLEs give rise to negative emotions, which in turn contribute to mental and physical illness, promising answers to qu...
