Being Prepared to be Unprepared: Meaning Making is Critical for the Resilience of Critical Infrastructure Systems

: Infrastructure is essential to provision of public health, safety, and well-being. Yet, even critical infrastructure systems cannot be designed, constructed, and operated to be robust to the myriad of surprising hazards they are likely to be subject to. As such, there has been increasing emphasis in Federal policy on enhancing infrastructure resilience . Nonetheless, existing research on infrastructure systems often overlooks the role of individual decision-making and team dynamics under the conditions of high Applied Resilience Engineering Institute. research interests explore the boundaries of technology and social science to understand the dynamic relationships between human resilience, psychological development, and the resilience of complex socio-technical systems like critical infrastructure. He holds BS & MS degrees in Electrical Engineering, an MBA degree, and a Ph.D. in Civil, Environmental, and Sustainable Engineering. Dr. Seager is Sustainable & the Built Environment Arizona AZ. Dr. Seager's teaching and research is focused on a new approach called Self-Actual Engineering, which is about designing our infrastructure, our technologies, our relationships, and our lives to reach our fullest human potential. You can read more about his approach, where he writes from his engineering expertise in resilience, finance, and his personal experiences as a father, a scientist, a writer, a journalist, an artist, and an entrepreneur at Development, Qualitative and Quantitative Mixed well-being, well-being multi-year well-being of ambiguity and uncertainty typically associated with surprise. Although evidence suggests that human factors correlating with resilience and adaptive capacity emerge in later stages of psychological development, there is an acute need for new knowledge about the human capacity to comprehend increasing levels of complexity in the context of rapidly evolving technological, ecological, and social stress conditions. Sometimes, it is this developmental capacity for meaning-making that is the difference between adaptive and maladaptive response. Thus, without a better understanding of the human capacity to develop and assign meaning to complex systems, unquestioned misconceptions about the human role may prevail. In this work, we examine the dynamic relationships between human and technological systems from a developmental perspective. We argue that knowledge of resilient human development can improve system resilience by aligning roles and responsibilities with the developmental capacities of individuals and groups responsible for the design, operation, and management of critical infrastructures. Taking a holistic approach that draws on both psychology and resilience engineering literature facilitates construction of an integrated model that lends itself to empirical verification of future research.
Phonological Interference in English Pronunciation Produced by Students at Senior High School (A Case Study of Buginese and Javanese Students)

This research discussed the Buginese and Javanese phonological interference and the factors that influenced that case from the students in senior high school. The method that was used in this research was qualitative research. The researchers collected the data with nine fricative consonants (f, v, θ, ð, s, z, ʃ, ʒ, h) by reading test, recording and interview, then analyzed with the theory by Weinreich (1979). The object was the Buginese and Javanese students of Senior High School 2 of East Luwu. The data showed that phonological interference produced by Buginese and Javanese are only two of three kinds of phonological interference by Crystal (2003). From Buginese students, the researchers only found one category of phonological interference which was sound replacements on consonant {f}, meanwhile on Javanese students found two categories of phonological interference, that were sound addition on sound {h} and sound replacement on sound {ʃ}. On the other hand, there are two factors that caused phonological interference of Buginese and Javanese students in this research, such as bilingual background and disloyalty to the target language. The factors that were found related to the factors mentioned by Weinreich (1979). Keywords: Phonological Interference, Buginese Phonological Interference, Javanese Phonological Interference
Black-hole thermodynamics with modified dispersion relations and generalized uncertainty principles

In several approaches to the quantum-gravity problem evidence has emerged of the validity of a ‘GUP’ (a generalized position–momentum uncertainty principle) and/or a ‘MDR’ (a modification of the energy–momentum dispersion relation), but very little is known about the implications of GUPs and MDRs for black-hole thermodynamics, another key topic for quantum-gravity research. We investigate an apparent link, already suggested in an earlier exploratory study involving two of us, between the possibility of a GUP and/or an MDR and the possibility of a log term in the area–entropy black-hole formula. We then obtain, from that same perspective, a modified relation between the mass of a black hole and its temperature, and we examine the validity of the ‘generalized second law of black-hole thermodynamics’ in theories with a GUP and/or an MDR. After an analysis of GUP- and MDR-modifications of the black-body radiation spectrum, we conclude the study with a description of the black-hole evaporation process.
Dentulous versus edentulous mandibles: CBCT-based morphometric assessment of mandibular canal and alveolar bone

Background Precise preoperative knowledge of the mandibular canal (MC) variations and alveolar bone dimensions are vital elements for a successful dental implant. Thus, this study aimed to describe the three-dimensional morphology of the MC and alveolar bone dimensions, followed by a comparison of the variables in edentulous mandibular posterior sides with contralateral dentulous sides among adult Chinese individuals. Such variations were also studied in relation to gender and age. Material and Methods Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used for the morphometric analysis of the MC and alveolar bone dimensions in this cross-sectional study that analyzed retrospectively gathered data. Records of 112 individuals (56 males and 56 females) who had one edentulous mandibular posterior side and one dentulous side were included in the analysis. The MC position, length (MCL), and diameter (MCD) along with superior bone height (SBH) and bone width (BW) of the alveolar bone ridge were assessed. Results The MCD was lower at first (p = 0.016) and second (p = 0.079) molars on the edentulous sides. The SBH, BW1mm, and BW3mm were significantly lower on the edentulous than dentulous sides (p< 0.05). However, there were no significant differences in the MC position or MCL and the incidence of bifid MC for dentulous and edentulous sides. Gender was a significant parameter for MCL, SBH, and BW, while no significant differences were observed in all variables on both sides in relation to age. Conclusions The position of the MC remains relatively constant regardless of losing teeth or increasing age. However, the MC position and MCL show differences in relation to gender. Alveolar bone dimensions are highly affected by dentate status followed by gender. Therefore, such variations should be considered by surgeons for successful surgical procedures in the posterior mandible. Key words:Mandibular canal, Bifid mandibular canal, edentulous mandible, alveolar bone dimension.
Perfectionism and Emotional Intelligence: A Person-Centered Approach

This study examined the relationship between perfectionistic concerns (PC) and perfectionistic strivings (PS) with the subcomponents of emotional intelligence (EI) through a latent class person-centered approach. A sample of 1582 Ecuadorian adolescents (619 females) aged from 12 to 18 was employed. The trait meta-mood scale-24 (TMMS-24) and the child and adolescent perfectionism scale (CAPS) were used, respectively, for assessing three subcomponents of EI (i.e., emotional attention, emotional clarity, and mood repair) and two perfectionist dimensions (PC and PS). A three-class solution (High perfectionism, moderate perfectionism, and nonperfectionism) was identified by using latent class analysis. High perfectionism significantly scored higher on emotional attention in comparison with the moderate and nonperfectionism classes, with small and moderate effect sizes. Overall, results suggest that people with high perfectionism might be at greater risk of developing maladaptive emotional self-regulation strategies, such as rumination, because of their tendency to excessively attend their negative mood states.
Carbon Default Swap - Disentangling the Exposure to Carbon Risk Through CDS

Using Credit Default Swap spreads, we construct a forward-looking, market-implied carbon risk factor and show that carbon risk affects firms’ credit spread. The effect is larger for European than North American firms and varies substantially across industries, suggesting the market recognizes where and which sectors are better positioned for a transition to a low-carbon economy. Moreover, lenders demand more credit protection for those borrowers perceived to be more exposed to carbon risk when market-wide concern about climate change risk is elevated. Lenders expect that adjustments in carbon regulations in Europe will cause relatively larger policy-related costs in the near future.
Electronic properties of candidate type-II Weyl semimetal WTe2. A review perspective

Currently, there is a flurry of research interest on materials with an unconventional electronic structure, and we have already seen significant progress in their understanding and engineering towards real-life applications. The interest erupted with the discovery of graphene and topological insulators in the previous decade. The electrons in graphene simulate massless Dirac Fermions with a linearly dispersing Dirac cone in their band structure, while in topological insulators, the electronic bands wind non-trivially in momentum space giving rise to gapless surface states and bulk bandgap. Weyl semimetals in condensed matter systems are the latest addition to this growing family of topological materials. Weyl Fermions are known in the context of high energy physics since almost the beginning of quantum mechanics. They apparently violate charge conservation rules, displaying the ‘chiral anomaly’, with such remarkable properties recently theoretically predicted and experimentally verified to exist as low energy quasiparticle states in certain condensed matter systems. Not only are these new materials extremely important for our fundamental understanding of quantum phenomena, but also they exhibit completely different transport phenomena. For example, massless Fermions are susceptible to scattering from non-magnetic impurities. Dirac semimetals exhibit non-saturating extremely large magnetoresistance as a consequence of their robust electronic bands being protected by time reversal symmetry. These open up whole new possibilities for materials engineering and applications including quantum computing. In this review, we recapitulate some of the outstanding properties of WTe2, namely, its non-saturating titanic magnetoresistance due to perfect electron and hole carrier balance up to a very high magnetic field observed for the very first time. It also indicative of hosting Lorentz violating type-II Weyl Fermions in its bandstructure, again first predicted candidate material to host such a remarkable phase. We primarily focus on the findings of our ARPES, spin-ARPES, and time-resolved ARPES studies complemented by first-principles calculations.
A 50 pc Scale View of Star Formation Efficiency across NGC 628

Star formation is a multi-scale process that requires tracing cloud formation and stellar feedback within the local (≲kpc) and global galaxy environment. We present first results from two large observing programs on the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA)and the Very Large Telescope/Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer(VLT/MUSE), mapping cloud scales (1″ = 47 pc) in both molecular gas and star-forming tracers across 90 kpc2 of the central disk of NGC 628 to probe the physics of star formation. Systematic spatial offsets between molecular clouds and H ii regions illustrate the time evolution of star-forming regions. Using uniform sampling of both maps on 50–500 pc scales, we infer molecular gas depletion times of 1–3 Gyr, but also find that the increase of scatter in the star formation relation on small scales is consistent with gas and H ii regions being only weakly correlated at the cloud (50 pc) scale. This implies a short overlap phase for molecular clouds and H ii regions, which we test by directly matching our catalog of 1502 H ii regions and 738 GMCs. We uncover only 74 objects in the overlap phase, and we find depletion times >1 Gyr, significantly longer than previously reported for individual star-forming clouds in the Milky Way. Finally, we find no clear trends that relate variations in the depletion time observed on 500 pc scales to physical drivers (metallicity, molecular and stellar-mass surface density, molecular gas boundedness) on 50 pc scales.
Long‐term behavior of sustainable self‐compacting concrete with high volume of recycled concrete aggregates and industrial by‐products

The addition of recycled concrete aggregates together with industrial by‐products for the concrete production is an effective solution to the environmental problems in terms of excess waste materials and massive nonrenewable natural resources consumption. This article investigates the long‐term behavior and microstructure of sustainable self‐compacting concrete (SCC) by substantially substituting natural coarse aggregate with recycled coarse aggregates (RCA) and cement with supplementary cementitious materials (SCM). The influences of RCA and SCM content as well as SCM combination type (fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag and/or silica fume) on the mechanical properties and long‐term deformation of recycled aggregate SCC (RA‐SCC) were assessed in detail. Furthermore, scanning electron microscope and x‐ray diffraction were implemented to justify the reasons for improvement on mechanical properties and long‐term behavior of RA‐SCC. The results indicate that the addition of RCA reduces the compressive strength and elastic modulus of RA‐SCC, and increases the creep and shrinkage deformations. However, incorporating SCM with a combination of fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag and silica fume compensates for the detrimental effect of RCA and makes considerable improvement in strength and reduction in the long‐term deformations. Microstructure analysis confirms the reasons of improvement, which is mainly attributed to the addition of SCM by adopting a combination type, resulting in a more compact microstructure such as stronger interfacial transition zone. Based on the experimental results, the correction factors of RCA and SCM were introduced in conjunction with fib Model Code 2010 model to evaluate the creep coefficient of RA‐SCC.
Alterations in Glutathione, Phytochelatin and Micronutrients of Corn Plants Exposed to Cadmium Stress at Different Time Periods

ABSTRACT Phytochelatin (PC) and glutathione (GSH) are important internal strategy of plants to detoxifying heavy metal (HMs) stress. In this study, the effect of cadmium (Cd) concentrations (0, 10, 25 and 40 µM) on GSH, PC, some micronutrients’ concentration in corn plants, and the role of PC in detoxifying Cd was assayed in different exposure time periods (2, 4, 8, and 16 day). The results showed that exposing corn plants to different Cd concentrations and various time period, decreased the fresh weight of corn plants (4% to 31% for shoots and 11% to 32% for roots) and nutrient uptake rates (NUR). The increase in Cd concentrations increased GSH and PC biosynthesis in corn plants (GSH increased from 72 to 235 nmol g−1 F.W and PC increased from 79 to 505 nmol g−1 F.W) and positive correlation was observed (in the range of 0.67 to 0.99). The concentrations of GSH and PC decreased by increasing Cd exposure time periods and was more intensified at the highest Cd concentration (40 µM). These results indicate that PC plays an effective but transient role in Cd detoxification and the levels of PC are related to Cd concentration in cytoplasm and its threshold limit.
Nutrient Concentration and Its Uptake in Various Stages of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) as Influenced by Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium Fertilization

ABSTRACT Effective management of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) are crucial for increasing crop production and productivity as they are associated with a number of enzymatic and physiological activities in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Field experiments were carried out during the winters of 2019˗˗20 and 2020˗˗21 to study the influence of varying levels of N, P, and K on crop performance, nutrient concentration, and uptake at various growth stages of wheat in mid-hill of Nepal. The study was conducted with factorial combinations of three N levels (100, 125, and 150 kg N ha−1), three P levels (25, 50, and 75 kg P2O5 ha−1) and three K levels (25, 50, and 75 kg K2O ha−1) in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Increasing N and K rates significantly (p < .05) increased total dry matter, grain yield, nutrient concentrations and uptakes in wheat. Pooled means showed significantly higher grain yields of 6.3 t ha−1 were obtained with N @ 125 kg ha−1, and K2O @ 50 kg ha−1 than lower rates. At maturity, average concentrations of N, P, and K in grain were 15.5, 3.6, and 5.8 g kg−1, respectively, and 5.4, 0.9, and 10.9 g kg−1 in straw, respectively, depending on the rate of NPK applied. N and P were mostly accumulated in wheat grain, whereas K was found higher in wheat straw than in grain. The nutrient concentration values of grain and straw can be used as a reference for determining nutrient removal from soil using a yield-based technique in wheat.
Asymptotic Analysis of a Chemotaxis System with Non-Diffusive Memory

In this paper detailed long time asymptotics are calculated for a chemotaxis equation with a logarithmic chemotactic sensitivity which is coupled to an ODE. We consider the radial symmetric setting in any space dimension. The ODE describes a non-diffusing chemical, which is produced by the chemotactic species itself. Intuitively this model can be related to self-attracting reinforced random walks for many particles. Thus the behavior of this system crucially differs with respect to existence of global solutions and the occurrence of finite or infinite time blow-up if compared to the classical Keller-Segel model. Blow-up is more likely to happen in lower dimensions in the present case. This PDE-ODE system is, among others, used in the literature to model haptotaxis and angiogenesis.
Assessment Tools for Children who Experience Traumatic Loss: A Systematic Review

Children who experience the traumatic (i.e., violent and/or unexpected) death of a loved one are at risk for a range of adverse developmental and mental health problems, including pathological processes of grief. Over the last decades, conceptualizations of maladaptive grief have varied, resulting in a range of assessment tools and no “gold standard” measure to assess symptoms of prolonged grief in children. The current paper is a systematic review of studies that measured grief in children who experienced traumatic loss in order to determine the measures currently used in the literature with children who experience traumatic loss. Searches were conducted according to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses in PUBMED, PsycINFO, and OVID and through hand searches of relevant reference lists. Two authors reviewed each study yielded by searches and conducted data extraction on included studies. Studies were included if they were peer-reviewed, included a measure of grief, and consisted of samples of children (age 18 and younger) whereby at least a portion experienced traumatic loss. Thirty-nine studies met inclusion criteria, from which 17 measures were identified. The most commonly used measure was the Inventory of Complicated Grief (n = 10 studies) followed by the Extended Grief Inventory (n = 6). Most studies used different measures and variations of the same measures to assess similar constructs. All but one measure relied on child self-report. More standardization of measurement across studies is needed, along with parent and/or teacher reported measures.
