Economic consequences of inland waterway disruptions in the Upper Mississippi River region in a changing climate

Inland waterway locks have become significant bottlenecks in waterway networks worldwide due to the disruptions caused by aging infrastructure and climate change. While these locks have traditionally received attention for traffic issues, the disruptive impact on the regional economy remains unclear. This study addresses this knowledge gap by assessing the economic impacts of inland water transportation system failures, specifically focusing on disruptions in agricultural commodities within the Upper Mississippi River–Illinois River (UMR–IR) region. These disruptions encompass both unscheduled climate-induced extreme weather events and scheduled maintenance and repair work due to internal system failure. To capture the spatial interdependence between the regional economy and shipping rate changes caused by disruptions, we developed an integrated modeling approach. This approach combines spatial econometric modeling and multi-regional computable general equilibrium modeling techniques. Detailed weekly data from 2013 to 2021, including variations in inland barge rates and environmental conditions, were utilized. The assessment reveals that lock closure events in the UMR-IR region have severe economic consequences, impacting both the region itself and beyond. Conversely, transportation resilience achieved through modal substitution from barge to rail services during disruptive events can substantially reduce GDP losses. Specifically, such resilience measures can reduce GDP losses in the UMR-IR region by 6.6–24.2% and in the rest of the USA by 5.2–19.5%. Overall, these research findings carry significant implications for future planning and investment in inland waterway systems.

Designing Supply Chain Resilience With a Quality Function Deployment (QFD) Approach at PT. XYZ

PT. XYZ is a leading company in the palm oil industry, but there are still problems that need to be addressed in its supply chain management. The problems include 3% product returns from cooking oil shipments to distributors under the brands Sania cooking oil, Fortune cooking oil, Sovia cooking oil, and Siip cooking oil. In addition, there are fluctuations in demand, an increase in demand of 170% with a demand of 20,774 tons and a decrease in demand of 59% with a demand of 7,225 tons at an average monthly production of 12,195 tons. This research aims to design Supply Chain Resilience with a Quality Function Deployment (QFD) approach. This QFD approach uses a 3-level HOQ. HOQ 1 assesses the relationship between customer needs and potential risks, resulting in risk prioritization. HOQ 2 assesses the relationship between potential risks and risk causes, resulting in the prioritization of risk causes. HOQ 3 assesses the relationship between risk causes and resilience measures, resulting in the prioritization of resilience measures. From the research results, 20 resilience measures were obtained and the 5 highest ranks were obtained as priority resilience measures, namely insurance, marketing quick response, product quality, customer relations, preventive maintenance and repair. The results of the resilience measure design are expected to be used as risk mitigation for the company.

CaRDS - the statewide California Residential water Demand and Supply open dataset

As water scarcity becomes the new norm in the Western United States, states such as California have increased their efforts to improve water resilience. Achieving water security under climate change, population growth, and urbanization requires an integrated multi-sectoral approach, where adaptation strategies combine supply and demand management interventions. Yet, most studies consider supply-side and demand-side management strategies separately. Water conservation efforts are mainly driven by policy requirements and publicly available data to assess the effectiveness of demand- and supply-side management policies is often hard to find and unstructured. Here we present CaRDS - the statewide California Residential water Demand and Supply open dataset. CaRDS encompasses nine years (2013-2021) of monthly water supply and demand time series for 404 water suppliers in California, USA, compiled from different open-access data sources. Access to detailed temporal and spatial water supply operations and demands at the state-level can be useful to researchers and practitioners to realize applications such as evaluating the effectiveness of water conservation policies and discovering regional differences in water resilience measures.

Relationships between adverse childhood experiences, attachment, resilience, psychological distress and trauma among forensic mental health populations

ABSTRACT There has been an association between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), attachment style and resilience with later life psychological distress, yet this area remains under-researched among forensic mental health populations. The current study aimed to explore predictive relationships between ACEs, attachment and resilience and later-life psychological distress and trauma in a sample with a history of forensic mental health service use. A total of 128 participants completed six questionnaires relating to these factors: The Adverse Childhood Experiences International Questionnaire (ACE-IQ); the Vulnerable Attachment Scale Questionnaire (VASQ); the Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM); the Resilience Research Centre Adult Resilience Measure (RRC-ARM); the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation-10 (CORE-10); and the International Trauma Questionnaire (ITQ). ACEs were found to be highly prevalent and significant correlations were found between lower levels of adult resilience and insecure attachment, and increased psychological distress and trauma symptoms. Attachment style was found to mediate some of these relationships. The findings support a model in which higher ACEs may lead to insecure attachment style and low resilience in the forensic mental health population, thereby resulting in higher levels of later life psychological distress and trauma. Attachment and resilience may be important factors to consider for preventative and reactive interventions within forensic mental health care.

Halal supply chain resilience index: development and implementation of measurement tool

PurposeThis study aims to develop a measurement model of the halal supply chain resilience (HSCRES) index, which represents the capability of the supply chain (SC) to handle disruption caused by halal risks. A case study is conducted to apply the HSCRES index in the halal chicken SC in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, to test the proposed methodology.Design/methodology/approachA literature synthesis was conducted to establish the main capability and vulnerability factors and their relevant indicators. The indicators were validated using the confirmatory factor analysis approach. Then, applying an analytical hierarchy process involving ten experts – practitioners and academicians – the weight of each indicator was obtained. A survey of 20 employees of slaughterhouses, 35 sellers and 100 consumers was conducted to obtain the value of each indicator. Finally, the HSCRES index was calculated by comparing the total weighted capability value to vulnerability.FindingsThe results revealed that the resilience of halal chicken SC in Yogyakarta is at a good level, with an index of 3.459, and “halal team” is the most significant indicator. The findings also revealed several capabilities that need improvement, including dedicated halal facilities, employees’ halal competence and halal regulation. However, the lack of a halal certification board, lack of management commitment and packaging contamination were found as vulnerability indicators that need to be reduced.Research limitations/implicationsThe case of this study is limited to the halal chicken SC in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. As a consequence, the obtained results are limited to a specific context. The application of this method to different areas and objects enables the establishment of different capability and vulnerability indicators.Practical implicationsThe halal resilience measurement model offers a comprehensive understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the HSC. The findings can help stakeholders improve preparedness for halal risks, deal with halal risks better and recover more quickly. Measuring the HSCRES index can be particularly useful for policymakers in developing evidence-based strategies to increase HSCRES.Originality/valueThe current study is the first to define and classify the contributing halal resilience attributes and also to calculate the halal resilience index.

A systematic review on potential analogy of phytobiomass and soil carbon evaluation methods: Ethiopia insights

Abstract Forests play a crucial role in mitigating the impacts of climate change by sequestering carbon in their biomass and soil. However, Ethiopia faces the threat of soil carbon emissions due to deforestation and continuous cultivation. This study reviewed the analogies in phytobiomass and soil carbon evaluation methods in Ethiopia. Index-base and year-wise analysis methods were used for the compilation of the study. Developing nations, such as Ethiopia, duly enhance resilient measures to assess forest carbon stocks for effective climate change mitigation, particularly with reference to emissions from deforestation and degradation. Even though more than 90% of Ethiopia’s energy comes from forest biomass, deforestation significantly affects the carbon stored in aboveground biomass, which is the largest reservoir. Estimating forest biomass and carbon emissions entails uncertainties, with error ranges around ±50% for aboveground pools and ±90% for soil carbon pools. Various tier methodologies are employed by experts to estimate forest biomass and carbon stock emissions, with Tier 2 factors serving as default emissions but country-specific factors offering improved accuracy over Tier 1. Tier 3 methodologies require highly specific inventory data on carbon stocks in different pools and common measurements of key carbon stocks. Forest conservation enhances biodiversity, ecosystem resilience, and essential ecosystem services, fostering soil health, regulating water cycles, and supporting diverse plant and animal species. In conclusion, directing efforts towards forest conservation not only helps maintain biodiversity and ecosystem services but also significantly contributes to mitigating climate change by enhancing carbon storage capacities and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Corporate uncertainty perception, innovation resilience and environmental performance: evidence from Chinese listed companies

ABSTRACT The twin crises of growing global environmental problems and frequent economic policy uncertainty have received widespread attention. However, the existing literature is limited to the impact of uncertainty on corporate environmental protection at the macro level and remains controversial. Based on the subjective perception perspective of firms, this paper explores the impact of corporate uncertainty perception on corporate environmental performance (EP) and the role of innovation resilience as a mechanism in it, using data from Chinese listed companies between 2007 and 2018. The study finds that uncertainty perception positively affects EP, which remains consistent even after conducting endogeneity and robustness tests. Heterogeneity tests reveal uncertainty perception’s stronger positive impact on EP among firms in eastern and central provinces, in maturity or decline stages, and with a focus on capital or technology. The mechanism analysis reveals that innovation resilience plays a positive moderating role in the relationship between uncertainty perception and EP. This paper addresses the controversy over the relationship between uncertainty and EP from corporate subjective perception perspective, improves the innovation resilience measure, enriches the mechanism of uncertainty perception’s role on EP, and expands the scope of application for strategic growth theory and resilience theory in organizational management.

Low resilience is associated with worse health-related quality of life in caregivers of service members and veterans with traumatic brain injury: a longitudinal study.

To examine [a] the association of caregiver health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and service member/veteran (SMV) neurobehavioral outcomes with caregiver resilience; [b] longitudinal change in resilience at the group and individual level; and [c] the magnitude of change at the individual level. Caregivers (N = 232) of SMVs with traumatic brain injury completed a resilience measure, and 18 caregiver HRQOL and SMV neurobehavioral outcome measures at a baseline evaluation and follow-up evaluation three years later. Caregivers were divided into two resilience groups at baseline and follow-up: [1] Low Resilience (≤ 45T, baseline n = 99, follow-up n = 93) and [2] High Resilience (> 45T, baseline n = 133, follow-up n = 139). At baseline and follow-up, significant effects were found between Low and High Resilience groups for the majority of outcome measures. There were no significant differences in resilience from baseline to follow-up at the group-mean level. At the individual level, caregivers were classified into four longitudinal resilience groups: [1] Persistently Low Resilience (Baseline + Follow-up = Low Resilience, n = 60), [2] Reduced Resilience (Baseline = High Resilience + Follow-up = Low Resilience, n = 33), [3] Improved Resilience (Baseline = Low Resilience + Follow-up = High Resilience, n = 39), and [4] Persistently High Resilience (Baseline + Follow-up = High Resilience, n = 100). From baseline to follow-up, approximately a third of the Reduced and Improved Resilience groups reported a meaningful change in resilience (≥ 10T). Nearly all of the Persistently High and Persistently Low Resilience groups did not report meaningful change in resilience (< 10T). Resilience was not a fixed state for all caregivers. Early intervention may stall the negative caregiving stress-health trajectory and improve caregiver resilience.

“It’s Time to see What I Can Do”: A Mixed-Methods Investigation into Trajectories of Resilience in Adolescents during the COVID-19 Pandemic

AbstractThere is a concern that adolescent mental well-being and resilience has been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, the aim of the current investigation was to track adolescents’ resilience from the initial months of the pandemic (T1) to approximately two years later (T2) using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Through interviews, thirty-one adolescents narrated their COVID-19 experiences and reflected on their mental well-being across this timespan. Using these accounts, we identified four groups of adolescents exhibiting one of the following trajectories of resilience: (1) Enduring resilience, (2) Reaching resilience, (3) Declining resilience and (4) Enduring non-resilience. Our findings revealed that most adolescents were able to maintain or develop good resilience on prolonged exposure to COVID-19 adversity (trajectories 1 and 2). This finding is contrary to the prevailing notion that the majority of adolescents’ mental well-being and hence resilience was adversely impacted by COVID-19 in the short and long term. Further qualitative analysis identified key factors that contributed to maintaining and developing greater levels of resilience during the pandemic: quality of friendships, quality of family relationships and regaining a sense of control. Lastly, we found a lack of congruence between quantitative and qualitative measures of mental well-being and resilience, suggesting that they might tap into different constructs/experiences. Significantly, our findings highlight that the majority of teens showed adaptive resilience during the pandemic and highlight the need for further longitudinal qualitative and quantitative research to assess both adaptive and maladaptive impacts of adversity on the adolescents’ mental well-being and resilience.

Constructing a resilience measurement model for small and medium-sized enterprises in Vietnam: A PLS-SEM approach

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) constitute around 97% of the total number of businesses in Vietnam, which contributes to 60% of the national growth. In a dynamic and uncertain business environment, both domestically and internationally, the resilience of SMEs has become a topic of significant interest among researchers and practitioners. Resilience, however, is a multifaceted concept that depends on the specific context in which it is applied. Therefore, this study aims to construct a measurement model for assessing the resilience of SMEs in Vietnam. Drawing from a dataset collected from 500 SMEs and employing the PLS-SEM technique. the findings of this research indicate that the resilience index is a combination of reflective and formative models. Resilience at level three is a formative construct comprising four prioritized components: agility, anticipatory capability, flexibility, and adaptability. The reflective measurement model of agility, anticipation, flexibility, and adaptability confirms its reliability and validity. These findings form the basis for the effective allocation of resources to enhance resilience within SMEs. Understanding the nuanced aspects of resilience can benefit in developing targeted strategies to bolster SMEs against the challenges posed by an ever-changing business landscape.

Resilience, Survival, and Functional Independence in Older Adults Facing Critical Illness

Older adults surviving critical illness often experience new or worsening functional impairments. Modifiable positive psychological constructs, like resilience, may mitigate post-intensive care morbidity. Is pre-ICU resilience associated with: (1) post-ICU survival; (2) the drop in post-ICU functional independence; and (3) a lesser decline of independence before versus after the ICU? We performed a retrospective cohort study using Medicare-linked Health and Retirement Study surveys from 2006-2018. We included Older adults ≥65 years admitted to an ICU. We calculated resilience before ICU admission. The resilience measure was defined from the Simplified Resilience Score which was previously adapted and validated for the Health and Retirement Study. Resilience was scored using the leave-behind survey normalized to 0 (lowest resilience) to 12 (highest resilience) point scale. Outcomes were survival and probability of functional independence. We modeled survival using Gompertz models and independence using joint survival models adjusting for sociodemographic and clinical variables. We estimated average marginal effects to determine independence probabilities. Across 3,409 patients ≥65 years old admitted to ICUs, pre-existing frailty (30.5%) and cognitive impairment (24.3%) were common. Most patients were previously independent (82.7%). Mechanical ventilation occurred in 14.8% and sepsis in 43.2%. Highest versus lowest resilience had lower risk of post-ICU mortality (aHR 0.81 95% CI [0.70, 0.94]). Higher resilience was associated with greater likelihood in post-ICU independence (estimated probability of independence 5 years post-ICU in highest-to-lowest resilience: 0.53 CI 95% [0.33, 0.74], 0.47 [0.26, 0.68], 0.49 [0.28, 0.70], 0.36 [0.17, 0.55] p<0.01). Resilience was not associated with a difference in the drop of independence across resilience groups, nor a difference in declines of independence post-ICU. ICU survivors with higher resilience had increased rates of survival and functional independence, though the slope of functional decline did not differ by resilience group pre- to post-ICU.

Measurement and synergistic evolution analysis of economic resilience and green economic efficiency: Evidence from five major urban agglomerations, China

It has become a significant issue for urban economies to maintain efficient and green development while ensuring security and stability. This study evaluated economic resilience (ER) and green economic efficiency (GEE) in China's five urban agglomerations using the combined weight model and the meta-frontier global super-efficiency SBM model with undesired outputs. Analyzed synergistic degrees between ER and GEE and regional differences by the modified coupled coordination model and Dagum's Gini coefficient. Results indicated that ER overall showed an increase from 2003 to 2021. GEE exhibited a slanting 'W' shaped trend but remained generally upward. In addition, the synergistic degree between ER and GEE increased, indicating beneficial interactions and a trend of synergistic evolution moving towards advancement. Spatial differences in synergistic degree were mainly due to hypervariable density, with inter-regional variations as a secondary factor. The Pearl River Delta (PRD) showed the highest intra-regional variation in synergistic degree and the Chengdu-Chongqing region (CC) the least. The synergistic gap between CC and PRD was the largest, while the gap between CC and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River (MYR) was the smallest. Understanding ER and GEE's spatiotemporal evolution is expected to induce sustainable economic development in urban agglomerations further.

Vulnerabilities of water-energy and food nexus in cities of digital era

The edifice of civilization stands on water-energy-food nexus, speech, trading management and complexity. This paper, presents a mini review of these issues which are the foundations of civilization, and discusses their role in social prosperity. Recent year public discussion emerges that an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) could strike cities due to natural or artificial reasons therefore, we attempt to describe the impact of an EMP from the viewpoint of civil engineering. To do so, we analyze the fundamental parts of civilization in present, their roles, and their functions. Analysis estimates that an EMP will not regress cities of developed world to the 1970s or even in the Middle Ages, but rather before the agrarian era. It is noted that while the developed world will be more vulnerable, the least developed countries, could exhibit more resilience. Additionally, this paper considers the way societies and cities could demonstrate more resilience, framing the need for further research such as: technological adaptation; study and simulations of related scenarios; design of water-energy-food nexus for survival clusters; resilience measures for money, economy, communications, and trading. As we have a very small timeframe of data (less than 200 years) of the appearance and the effects of EMP, we have to study it, even if the wish is that we will never confront it. It seems unreasonable for our narcissistic and wonderful civilization to behave like ostrich hiding its’ head in the sand in order to be hidden by this threat.

Procurement-network contributions to healthcare supply chain resilience: a case study from Canada

PurposeThis article investigates how the healthcare sector can reorganize its procurement network to better balance its resilience and cost-minimization objectives.Design/methodology/approachA single case study was conducted on the procurement of personal protective equipment (PPE) during the first COVID-19 pandemic wave in the Quebec public healthcare network. Interviews were conducted with stakeholders from the supply chain management (SCM) departments at eight public healthcare institutions.FindingsTwo major challenges in the early months of the pandemic impacted the development of resilience in the healthcare network. First, peripheral actors’ decisions, which orient procurement objectives, limited the deployment of resilience measures in the supply chain (SC). Second, SC resilience included hundreds of products other than PPE that are critical to the delivery of care. The article illustrates the challenges of SCR, which will inevitably be accompanied by additional costs when purchasing in the public healthcare sector is often focused on the lowest price.Originality/valueDrawing from the network perspective model, this article examines the actions of Quebec supply network stakeholders through the three phases of SCR: anticipation, response to disruption, and recovery. Finally, the article suggests that decision-makers remove the cost of resilience measures from the purchase price of products, in order to maintain these measures over the long term.

Human-centred factors of decision-making for financial resilience

ABSTRACT In this paper, we have adapted the components and factors of an existing financial resilience measurement framework, and leveraged a survey that reflects the decision-making of Irish social housing residents in money management and their capacity to cope with unexpected financial shocks. Extending existing financial literacy definitions, this paper shifts the perspective from measuring financial resilience components to exploring the drivers that could impact that resilience at an individual level. This bridging of the objective and subjective domains contributes to the common good by exploring how citizens deal with daily decision-making in a financialised world.

Pandemic Era Maternal Alexithymia and Burnout as Mediated by Self-Efficacy and Resilience

Parenting is considered a complex and stressful activity that is associated with the development of parental burnout, especially in the COVID -19 pandemic where mental health problems have a huge impact on individual lives and the division of family roles due to frequent closures. The aim of this study was to investigate whether various psychological characteristics such as alexithymia, resilience, and self-efficacy particularly influence the extent of parental burnout in mothers. For the study, 110 aged women qualified. Only mothers who had full-time jobs and worked from home were invited to participate in the study. Parental burnout was measured using the Parental Burnout Assessment. Level of alexithymia was measured with the Toronto Alexithymia Scale -20. Overall level of resilience as a personality trait was assessed with the Resilience Measurement Scale SPP -25. Beliefs about efficacy in dealing with difficult situations and obstacles were examined with the Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale. The results show that alexithyms had significantly higher levels of burnout than non-alexithyms on the first and second measures. In addition, a significant increase in burnout levels over time was found in the alexithymic group. Alexithymia was a strong predictor of parental burnout and tends to predict a decrease in perceived self-efficacy, which in turn predicts an increase in parental burnout. Finally, alexithymia predicts increased parental burnout through lower psychological resilience. Parents with high levels of parental burnout feel overwhelmed by the stresses associated with their parenting role and often express doubts about their ability to be competent parents.

A reliable hybrid autoregressive integrated moving average and deep reinforcement machine learning strategy for resiliency enhancement in microgrid

Machine learning algorithms are crucial for energy transition and climate change system resilience. This paper presents the essential issue of improved microgrid resilience after catastrophes, with a focus on the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) assessment metric. By using a Hybrid Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average- Deep Reinforcement Learning (HARIMA-DRL) based machine learning microgrid restoration method for post-disaster power recovery, resilience in the operation aspect is enhanced. The local power grid's resilience during a simulated disaster is examined using a quantitative resilience measure that is based on two significant quality functions. When the hybrid HARIMA-DRL model final resilience value is 3.07 %, 7.78 %, and 11.51 % higher for 5000, 8000, and 10000 training datasets, as compared to Convolutional Neural Network and Long-Short Term Memory (CNN-LSTM) and Gauss Reinforcement Memory (GRM). Simulation findings comparing the proposed HARIMA-DRL method to CNN-LSTM and GRM models trained on separate datasets show that the HARIMA-DRL enhances grid instantaneous and average resilience by 3.38 % over T1 and 4.96 % over T2. Flexible kernel settings and smooth nonlinear prediction behaviour allow the proposed HARIMA-DRL approach to provide the highest resilience enhancement and lowest prediction error.

Exploring Resilience Among Midlife and Older Sexual Minority and Heterosexual Adults: A Multidimensional Analysis.

Research on resilience in sexual minority midlife and older adults is limited. Using a multidimensional approach, this study examined trait resilience (optimism), resilience as a dynamic process (perceived control), and relational resilience (social support), analyzing their roles in physical and mental health among sexual minority adults. Analyzing data from MIDUS 2 and MIDUS Refresher, we examined a sample of 492 participants, comprising 164 sexual minority and 328 propensity-matched heterosexual individuals. Among sexual minority participants, perceived control was associated with fewer chronic conditions and optimism with lower depressed affect. Among heterosexual participants, perceived control was associated with both outcomes. Subgroup analyses found variations, particularly among lesbian and bisexual women. Resilience measures were not associated with the health outcomes for gay or bisexual men. This study highlighted the complex roles of trait resilience and dynamic resilience processes in association with health outcomes among sexual minority midlife and older adults across diverse subgroups.

The role of resilience and coping strategies as predictors of well-being in breast cancer patients

PurposeThis study investigated the role of resilience and coping strategies on breast cancer patients' well-being using a structural equation model. To achieve this objective, a model previously developed by Mayordomo's group was partially replicated using a longitudinal study design in an oncological sample. MethodsThe study was a longitudinal observational survey. Patients with breast cancer were recruited (N = 166). Resilience was measured with the Mexican Resilience Measurement Scale, coping strategies with the Forms of Coping and Dimensions Scale and perception of the psychological well-being with a short-form of Ryff's Scales of Psychological Well-Being at the start and end of adjuvant chemotherapy (T1 and T2 respectively). ResultsThe results showed stability in the variables over time and revealed differences with respect to Mayordomo's model. The best predictor of well-being at T2 was well-being at T1. In addition, the model indicated that resilience had a direct impact on well-being through problem-focused coping. Indeed, resilience and problem-focused coping best explained well-being at T2. ConclusionsBoth at the start and end of adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer, problem-focused coping positively predicted resilience, which in turn was a positive predictor of well-being. On the other hand, emotion-focused coping showed no association with resilience or well-being. As part of the multidisciplinary cancer team, oncology nurses have a key role to play in promoting resilience and problem-focused coping as an important goal of psychosocial interventions in breast cancer patients.
