Fostering resilience and post-traumatic growth in overseas Chinese left-behind children: The role of autonomy, competence, and relatedness.

This study examines the impact of parental migration on the psychological well-being and development of left-behind children (LBCs) in Zhejiang, China, within the broader context of the country's rural transformations and urban migration. It investigates how intellectual and relational engagement (RE), autonomy (AUT), competence (COM), and relatedness (RES) contribute to resilience (REL) and post-traumatic growth (PTG) in these children, reflecting on the shift from viewing parental separation merely as a source of trauma to recognizing its potential to foster significant personal growth. Utilizing a cross-sectional design, the research was conducted in April and May 2023 with 1348 LBCs from a total sample of 4049 students inZhejiang. A two-step random, stratified, cluster-based sampling strategy was employed, and structural equation modeling was used to examine the hypothesized relationships among the constructs. The statistical analysis demonstrated significant positive effects of intellectual engagement (IE), AUT, COM, and RE on both REL and PTG (p<.05 for all). IE strongly correlated with AUT (r=.68, p<.001) and COM (r=.71, p<.001), enhancing REL and facilitating PTG. Additionally, the presence of secure and consistent relationships was identified as crucial for maintaining psychological well-being, with high correlation coefficients (r>.60) underscoring their importance. Notably, REL was found to moderate the relationships among RES, COM, and PTG, highlighting its critical role in the psychological adaptation of left-behind children. The study underscores the importance of nurturing intellectual and REs, AUT, and COM to enhance psychological REL and well-being among LBAs. These elements are crucial for supporting the mental health and developmental needs of children facing the challenges of parental migration. The findings advocate for targeted interventions that can address the unique needs of this vulnerable population, emphasizing the potential for growth and adaptation despite adversities.

Bridging Heart and Mind: Exploring Emotional Intelligence among Undergraduates in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

This study investigates this relationship among Chinese undergraduates, examining EI's significance amidst AI integration. Surveying 420 undergraduates from X University, China, using 2 questionnaires and PLS-SEM analysis, the study reveals high EI levels, particularly in emotional regulation, and a positive relationship between RI and EI. Findings stress the importance of socio-emotional skills in navigating AI-driven education.

Resilience and purpose as predictors of Portuguese school leaders' work well-being

PurposeResilience and purpose have been associated with work well-being. However, limited empirical evidence exists on the liaison between these constructs and Portuguese school leaders' psychological and physical distress and work well-being. This study explored the relationships between resilience, purpose, and well-being in 921 teachers who perform leadership roles in Portuguese schools.Design/methodology/approachParticipants filled out an online self-report questionnaire, providing information on sociodemographic variables. Additionally, they responded to four questionnaires evaluating purpose (PURP), resilience (RES), psychological distress (PsyD), physical distress (PhyD), and work well-being (WWB). Data were analysed through structural equation modelling and mediation analysis.FindingsThe findings show that psychological and physical distress negatively predict school leadership work well-being, whereas resilience and purpose positively predict work well-being. The mediating analysis revealed one indirect mediation effect: resilience buffered the psychological distress and work well-being relationship.Originality/valueThe main findings align with existing literature and uniquely contribute to understanding the interplay between resilience, purpose, psychological and physical distress, and work well-being. This study provides empirical support for a conceptual model claiming that purpose and resilience promote school leaders' work well-being.

Moderating effects of resilience on the relationship between self-leadership and innovative work behavior

This study aimed to examine the moderating effects of resilience (RES) on the association between self-leadership (SEL) and innovative work behavior (IWB) of employees. The study sample consisted of 250 warehouse workers in the logistics business. Prior to data collection, the questionnaire's validity and reliability were evaluated, and hierarchical regression analysis was utilized to investigate the direct and moderating effects. SEL was found to have a positive connection with IWB, whereas RES had a statistically significant moderating influence on the relationship between SEL and IWB. The employee RES should be encouraged and supported. Employers must create, train, and encourage workers to cultivate SEL and RES and adapt to work problems. Together, these characteristics will enable employees to express IWB. Human resource departments must be cognizant of the growing impact of SEL and encourage RES to assist employees in achieving higher IWB.

Resilience predicts and modulates anxiety severity in people with epilepsy

BackgroundAnxiety is one of the most relevant psychiatric comorbidities in people with epilepsy (PwE). The role of resilience (RES) in the development of anxiety is not well understood. We purposed to better characterize RES impact on anxiety severity in PwE. Materials and methodsOne hundred and seventy-six PwE underwent online surveys including a collection of socio-demographic, seizure-related, and psychological variables. PwE were grouped according to the data collected; anxiety levels were compared through non-parametric statistics. Hierarchical regression analysis (HRA) and logistic regression were performed to characterize RES contribute in predicting the presence and the severity of anxiety. Mediation/moderation analysis was performed to evaluate causal effects among RES, depression, and anxiety. ResultsAnxiety did not differ according to socio-demographic and seizure-related variables, exemption for the presence of drug-related adverse effects. Depression, RES, and sleep quality provided the major contribute on anxiety variance. The addiction of RES level in HRA and logistic regression provided a significant increase of R-squared value (p-value = 0.02) and of area under the curve (p-value = 0.03), respectively. RES modulated depression/anxiety relationship (p-value < 0.001), whereas depression did not mediate RES/anxiety correlation (p-value = 0.68). ConclusionsWe demonstrated that RES is a significant independent predictor of anxiety in PwE and is able to modulate depression impact on anxiety. Moreover, we confirmed the relevance of depression and sleep quality on anxiety severity.

Unlocking sustainable supply chain performance through dynamic data analytics: a multiple mediation model of sustainable innovation and supply chain resilience.

This article provides a theoretical framework for comprehending the connections between dynamic data analytics capability (DDAC), innovation capabilities (IC), supply chain resilience (RES), and sustainable supply chain performance (SSCP). Since this is the first empirical investigation of the sequential mediation effect between DDAC and SSCP through IC and RES, it fills a critical need in the supply chain literature. A quantitative methodology was used, involving a survey questionnaire distributed to 259 large Pakistani manufacturing firms. We used PLS-SEM to test for the expected associations. Findings show that using DDAC has a beneficial effect on both innovative and resilient capabilities, which in turn leads to better SSCP. The research illuminates the sequential mediating roles of product, process, and resilience, underlining the need of combining data-driven innovation with resilience in order to achieve sustainable supply chain performance. These results provide useful guidance for businesses that want to boost their sustainability results by taking a more all-encompassing approach to data-driven innovation and resilience.

Can mindfulness play a role in building social-emotional capacities among youth exposed to screens?

Increased screen time coupled with public safety restrictions may pose a serious challenge to adequate social-emotional development in youth during the pandemic. Social-emotional competence (resilience, self-esteem, and self-compassion) are essential for youth to adapt to the "new normal" in the prolonged pandemic timeline. The current study investigated the efficacy of a mindfulness-based intervention on youth social-emotional capacity while accounting for screen time. One hundred and seventeen youth participated in a 12-week, online mindfulness-based program and completed pre-, post- and follow-up surveys across five cohorts during the COVID-19 pandemic (spring 2021 to spring 2022). Changes in youths' resilience (RS), self-esteem (SE), and self-compassion (SC) between the three-time points were examined using linear regression analyses (unadjusted, partially adjusted for screen time, and fully adjusted for demographic and screen time variables). The regression models accounted for demographic (age, sex), baseline mental health status, and screen time (passive, social media, video games, and educational types of screen-based behaviours) factors. In an unadjusted regression model, resilience [β = 3.68, 95%CI = 1.78-5.50, p < 0.001], self-compassion [β = 0.50, 95%CI = 0.34-0.66, p < 0.001], and self-esteem [β = 2.16, 95%CI = 0.98-3.34, p < 0.001] significantly increased after the mindfulness program, and the effects were maintained in the follow-up. The efficacy of the mindfulness program persisted after controlling for five types of screen time [RS: β = 2.73, 95%CI = 0.89-4.57, p < 0.01; SC: β = 0.50, 95%CI = 0.32-0.67, p < 0.001; SE: β = 1.46, 95%CI = 0.34-2.59, p < 0.01] and in a fully adjusted model which additionally accounted for the baseline mental health status and demographic factors [RS: β = 3.01, 95%CI = 1.20, p < 0.01; SC: β = 0.51, 95%CI = 0.33-0.68, p < 0.001; SE: β = 1.64, 95%CI = 0.51-2.77, p < 0.01] and maintained its impact in the follow-up. Our findings reinforce the evidence base on the efficacy of mindfulness and support the use of online mindfulness programs in building social-emotional competencies (i.e., self-compassion, self-esteem, and resilience) among youth exposed to screens during the pandemic.

Spatio-temporal effects of regional resilience construction on carbon emissions: Evidence from 30 Chinese provinces

In response to the threat of rapidly rising carbon emissions, a variety of measures are being implemented to achieve carbon reduction. Resilience construction offers a fresh approach to improving the regional anti-interference ability to cope with various risks, and it is worth considering its impact on carbon emissions. The objective of this study is to investigate the spatio-temporal impacts of resilience construction (RCI) on carbon intensity (CI) in 30 Chinese provinces from 2010 to 2019. The relation pattern between RCI and CI is thoroughly examined after developing a hybrid model by integrating gray correlation analysis (GRA) and coupled coordination degree (CCD). Using the GTWR model, the coefficients reveal the spatio-temporal pattern of the influence of each variable on CI. Furthermore, this study pioneeringly blends GTWR regression results with the K-Means approach to identify areas with homogeneity and heterogeneity of the pattern. Firstly, the findings indicate that there is a significant link between CI and all dimensions -economic resilience (RE), social resilience (RS), and ecological resilience (REn). The relation between REn and CI is the greatest, although it has been declining recently while relations of RS, REn, and CI have all been steadily rising. Secondly, according to the results of CCD, resilience construction and carbon reduction are progressively reaching orderly development but there are still some provinces at low levels of CCD. Thirdly, the study area is divided into four clusters, and the structure of spatial grouping tends to become stable. Moreover, we analyze each cluster's features and suggest appropriate policy measures. The findings aid in the scientific planning of the direction of resilience construction with the goal of collaborative management of carbon emissions.

An experimental assessment of carbon and nitrogen allocation in Pinus pinea populations under drought stress and rewatering treatment

Global drought effects will increase with climate change and, accordingly, plant species will be affected at different scales. Carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) are critical for plant growth and development. Drought stress disturbs the process of adjusting C and N acquisition and allocation in plants. The present study aimed to determine the N (%), C (%), C/N ratio, carbon mass (CM, g), and nitrogen mass (NM, g) in different plant organs (needle, shoot, stem, and root) in 2-years-old stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) seedlings from seven different populations of Türkiye under drought stress and rewatering treatment. The seedlings were subjected to drought until a predawn water potential between − 4.5 MPa to − 4.0 MPa. The return of the seedlings to their pre-drought level was determined by using resistance (RS), recovery (RC), and resilience (RSL) indices. The N concentration in each organ showed significant differences between the populations in response to drought while the C concentration differed between the populations only in roots. In drought, the N (%) and NM (g) values in needles increased in the populations and the increase was 50% higher in northern populations. The N (%) and NM (g) values in shoots increased almost twice in response to drought. Although C (%) and CM (g) decreased in needles and shoots in drought, they increased in stems and roots. The stem C/N ratio increased by more than 100% in some populations in drought. Root C/N ratios increased by more than 50% in drought, while they generally decreased below control values with rewatering. The C/N ratio in the stem showed great resistance and recovery, while resilience stayed negative. In conclusion, stone pine populations generally demonstrated high recovery in terms of N concentration in roots after drought. Compared to northern populations, southern populations showed more resistance to drought in terms of needle and shoot N concentration. The needle and shoot N (%) of northern populations demonstrated high resilience capacity.

Understanding corporate social responsibility, employee psychological capital and work performance: The perspective of tourism in the emerging economy

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) improves business performance in a significant way (Manzoni &amp; Islam, 2015). This study examines how travel and tourism firms handled their CSR during the COVID-19 pandemic and how it affected employee satisfaction (EST) with corporate responses on employee psychological capital (PsyCap) that was measured through self-efficacy (SEC), hope (HOP), resilience (RES) and optimism (OPT). This study also examines PsyCap’s impact on employee work performance (WPM). An online questionnaire was used to obtain data from Indian travel industry personnel to support the study’s conceptual model. A total of 301 valid and usable responses were obtained for the final analysis, which was analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 20 and Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) 22 software. The model underwent validation through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equations modeling (SEM). CSR strongly affects EST, which positively impacts all four variables of employee PsyCap. A positive association of SEC, HOP, and OPT with WPM has also been found, while the association between RES and WPM is insignificant. These variables explained about 53% (R2 = 53.2) of the variance in work performance. This study offers academia and industry practitioners valuable insights into CSR during natural disasters and health hazards.

NORTH CAROLINA NURSING HOME AND PUBLIC HEALTH RESILIENCE DURING 2021 OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Abstract Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic many healthcare organizations have operated in a climate of uncertainty. Building resilience is one method used to survive and thrive during periods of uncertainty. Measuring an organization’s resilience (ability to prepare for, respond and adapt during time of change) allows the organization to identify its vulnerabilities and set priorities to avert negative outcomes during an untoward event. Through collaboration with four long-term care professional associations, the Benchmark Resilience Tool (BRT-13) resilience survey was disseminated to North Carolina long-term care leaders in April 2021. The BRT-13 survey was also sent to North Carolina public health officials via email during the same timeframe. The BRT-13 contains 13 resilience (RES) items divided into two factors of adaptive capacity (AC) and planning (PL) on a five-point Likert scale of strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (5). Organizational factors surveyed included type of facility, rural-urban classification area designation, ownership type, level of debt, level of profitability, and employee satisfaction. A total of 142 completed surveys were received, 101 (71%) from long-term care leaders and 41 (28.9%) from Public Health officials. Overall average resilience scores ranged from 3.96 for public health respondents to 4.46 for continuing care retirement communities (CCRC) respondents. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was employed to compare the three factors (AC, PL, and RES) to the organizational factors. Resilience was significantly associated with one factor, employee satisfaction. Our findings indicate that organizations can build resilience through processes that contribute to staff satisfaction.

Understanding Alzheimer’s disease resilience at the cellular level

AbstractBackgroundUntil recently, postmortem observation of amyloid beta (Aβ) and tau neurofibrillary tangles was sufficient for a definitive diagnosis of AD. Observations of resilient subjects exhibiting Alzheimer's‐associated neuropathology but no dementia have challenged this concept. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of resilience can provide a powerful suite of targets for therapeutic interventions.MethodBuilding upon our studies of bulk brain transcriptional signatures of AD resilience, and in order to identify cell‐specific signatures, we have leveraged recently available single nucleus RNA‐seq data (n = 30) from the Religious Order Study and Memory and Aging Project (ROSMAP) to perform differential gene expression analyses. We classified individuals into AD, Resilience (RES), and Control (CTRL) using levels of Aβ plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, and presence/absence of cognitive impairment.ResultResilience signatures are shared between different cell types, but few are broadly distributed. Certain cell types show higher response to early events (e.g., excitatory neurons), while others seem to be particularly important in driving resilience to AD (e.g., inhibitory neurons and oligodendrocytes). Among cell‐specific differences, we noticed patterns where cells from the RES group had an opposing direction compared to AD and CTRL, suggesting protective events, or even resistance to AD neuropathology. For instance, in excitatory neurons, we identified 1,437 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between RES/CTRL and 179 DEGs between AD/RES. CAMK2N1 (codes for an inhibitor of CaMKII, a synaptic protein pivotal in learning and memory) shows decreased expression between RES/AD and RES/CTRL. In contrast, in inhibitory neurons we identified 759 DEGs between RES/AD, and 46 DEGs in RES/CTRL. CRLF3 (encodes a cytokine receptor‐like factor thought to negatively regulate cell cycle progression, involved in neuronal morphology and synaptic vesicle biogenesis) exhibits increased expression in RES compared to AD and CTRL. For in silico cross‐validation, we determined if features identified as ‘markers of resilience’ were good predictors by comparing to the original diagnostic group. Our results suggest that oligodendrocytes are important drivers of AD resilience.ConclusionWe have identified cell‐specific gene expression signatures of AD resilience, suggesting inhibitory neurons and oligodendrocytes as critical drivers of AD resilience.

Economic values for sustainable dairy cattle breeding in the tropics: A focus on climate change responsive traits

The goal of this study was to estimate economic values for feed efficiency (FE), resilience (RE), adaptability (AD), and disease resistance (DR). The indicator traits that were used to measure; FE, RE, AD and DR were residual feed intake (RFI), variance deviations in milk yield, heat stress using milk reduction due to an increase in temperature humidity index (THI) by 1 and brucellosis disease resistance, respectively. A bio-economic model was developed in python using both simple profit functions and risk-rated profit models and was used to compute economic values for FE, RE, AD, and revise economic values for traits in the existing breeding goal, which included milk yield (MY), fat yield (FY), protein yield (PY), age at first calving (AFC), calving interval (CI), pre-weaning daily gain (DG), post-weaning daily gain (PDG), mature live weight (LW), pre-weaning survival rate (PSR), post-weaning survival rate (PWR), and productive lifetime (PLT). The economic value for brucellosis disease resistance was derived using selection index methodology. The risk-rated economic values for the climate change responsive traits were; KES -15.54, KES 47.37, KES 175.48, and KES -58.71 for FE, RE, AD, and DR respectively. The revised risk-rated economic values for the other traits were; KES 47.6, KES 132.8, KES 136.1, KES -334.9, KES -171.9, 8.3 g/day, 3.4 g/day, KES -30.8, 7.49%, 7.66%, and KES 63.9 for MY, PY, FY, AFC, CI, DG, PDG, LW, SR, PSR, and PLT respectively. The profits realised per year were; KES 705.71, and 77,473.70 for the current breeding goal (CBG) and climate change responsive breeding goal (CCRBG) respectively. These economic values indicate that inclusion of climate change responsive traits in breeding goal would increase response to selection of dairy cattle in the tropics.

Mediating Effects of Self-Efficacy, Resilience and Job Satisfaction on the Relationship between Person–Organisation Fit and Employee Work Adjustment

The purposes of this study were to test the direct and indirect effects of person–organisation fit (POF) and examine how self-efficacy (SE), resilience (RES) and job satisfaction (JS) acted as full or partial mediations between POF and employee work adjustment (EWA). A survey was conducted on 317 new graduates from the Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi, with analysis of direct effects, indirect effects and mediators performed using the Hayes Process Macro Model 81. Results showed that POF had a direct effect on EWA with statistical significance and an indirect effect through self-efficacy, RES and JS, while SE, RES and JS acted as partial mediators between EWA with statistical significance. The mediating effects of SE, RES and JS were helpful in explaining the theory of POF on the work adjustment of new graduates. Results contribute to the development and expansion of POF in various industrial contexts. Human resource department managers can apply the study results as guidelines for selecting suitable employees as well as enhancing SE, RES and JS, leading to fast EWA. This study contributes to POF literature by clarifying the mediating effects of SE, RES and JS and clearly explaining the relationship between POF and EWA.

Exploring how entrepreneurial orientation improve firm resilience in digital era: findings from sequential mediation and FsQCA

PurposeUnder extensive pressure from normal market competition, frequent technological change and extreme exogenous shock, firms are facing severe challenge nowadays. How to withstand discontinuous crises and respond to normal risks through improving resilience (RE) is an important question worth researching. Thus, drawing on the strategic entrepreneurship theory, the purpose of this study is exploring the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and RE, and combining digitization to discuss the role of digital business capability (DBC), digital business model innovation (DBMI) and environmental hostility (EH).Design/methodology/approachBased on survey data from 203 Chinese firms, using the methods of linear regression and bootstrap to test our hypothesis. Furthermore, fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (FsQCA) is used to identify previously unknown combinations which lead to strong/weak RE in digital context.FindingsFirst, EO positively influenced DBC and RE. Second, DBMI promoted RE, DBC and DBMI served as sequential mediators that linked EO and RE. Third, EH positively moderated the effects of EO on RE. Further the study revealed that different configuration of DBMI and dimensions of EO and DBC can explain RE.Originality/valueThe study explains mechanism of RE from perspective of digitization. The conclusion is good for further consolidating strategic entrepreneurship theory, and providing a new frame for firms to build the ability of antifragile.

Unveiling the Effects of Stressors on Task Performance: The Role of Thriving at Work and Resilience.

This study unveils the effects of stressors on employees' task performance through the mediating role of thriving at work (TAW) and a moderating role of resilience (RES) grounding on conservation of resources (COR) theory. The analysis of collected data from 331 supervisor-employee dyads in the hospitality sector of China explicates that the role conflict (RC) and perceived workload have a negative influence on TAW, and thriving has a positive relationship with task performance. The results corroborate the mediating role of TAW between RC, perceived workload, and task performance. Furthermore, the RES suppressed the negative relationship between RC, perceived workload, and TAW. Moreover, our study underscores the theoretical and practical contributions regarding the negative influence of stressors on TAW by exhibiting the importance of the COR mechanism for employees' behavioral outcomes.

Towards Sustainable Fisheries Through Marine Ecological Carrying Capacity Index

Overexploitation and unsustainable fisheries activities will have an impact on environmental quality degradation. In the 4.0 era, technology can assist in monitoring and managing sustainable fisheries resources. Research on sustainable fisheries management activities guided by the marine ecological carrying capacity (MECC) evaluation index has been carried out. The purpose of this study was to determine changes in fishery activity to MECC as an evaluation material for sustainable development in the fisheries sector in the form of a website. This can provide convenience and effectiveness and can be used as a basis by stakeholders in monitoring and making policies in the sustainable development of the fisheries sector. MECC is composed of two components, namely carrying object (OI) and carrier resilience (RI). OI is obtained from changes in the value of changes in human activity (RI) and socio-economic development (SI). Fishery activities are a component of RI in the Nunukan Regency, Indonesia. The HI value decreased during 2015 - 2019 and affected the decline in the MECC index as a whole. This decrease was caused by the increase in fish catches, the number of fishing households, and boat activity in the waters of the Nunukan Regency. Based on the evaluation of the decline in the value of HI, it can be used as an evaluation material in developing integrated and sustainable development in the fisheries sector by mitigating bycatch by regulating fishing gear and methodologies, as well as establishing protected area management and fishing. To make this happen, it is necessary to build partnerships between public authorities, business, civil society, academia, and the financial sector within the framework of the Penta-helix model.

Role of perceived HRM toward workplace bullying and turnover intention: mediating role of resilience and psychological health

Purpose The present research work has tried to investigate the impact of workplace bullying (WB) on turnover intention (TI); the study has also analyzed the effect of psychological health (PH) and resilience (RS) indirectly as mediators in between WB and TI. Further, the role of perceived HRM as a moderator directly and through RS has been tested. The study has been carried in the context of Indian IT sector.Design/methodology/approach The analysis of the moderated mediation model was done through PLS-SEM, owing to the medium size of the sample. SmartPLS 3 was used to check on the psychometric principles if any for the measurement model and also adopt a two-step analysis for the proposed model.Findings The findings of the present study have validated the empirical model, showing a significant relationship in between the proposed constructs. WB had a positive impact on TI whereas PH and RS turned out to be partial mediators but there was no evidence as to which mediator had a larger impact. Further, perceived HRM served as a moderator in between WB and TI and also through RS.Originality/value The study is first of its kind which has tried to investigate an exhaustive mediated moderation model in the Indian IT sector. The study has postulated that it is not just the HRM content but the perceptions of employees toward HRM which can be beneficial in resolving sensitive issues such as WB and eventually turnover intents.

Analysis of human activities and socioeconomic development on the marine ecological carrying capacity (mecc) evaluation index to climate change adaptation in Nunukan Regency, North Kalimantan, Indonesia

Research on human activities and socioeconomic development analysis on the Marine Ecological Carrying Capacity (MECC) evaluation index to climate change adaptation at the Sentra Kelautan dan Perikanan Terpadu (SKPT) Nunukan Regency, North Kalimantan in 2015-2019 has been carried out. The purpose of this study was to determine changes in human activity and socioeconomic development of MECC as an evaluation of adaptation and mitigation to climate change. The method using in this research is an approach to the concept of Integrated Ocean Management (IOM) in the form of MECC. MECC can be used as a tool to see the effectiveness and efficiency of a policy on the environment. MECC consists of two components, namely carrying object (OI) and carrier resilience (RI). Carrying object analysis was performed to determine changes in the value of the human activity index and socio-economic development. The value of the carrying index which consists of human activities (HI) and socio-economic development (SI) activities in Nunukan Regency shows a decline during 2015-2019. The value of HI decreased by 82% from 0.19 in 2015 to 0.03 in 2019 due to increased activity in the fisheries and marine transportation sectors. Meanwhile, the SI value in 2014 was 0.25, down 57% to 0.11 in 2019. This was due to the increase in socio-economic activities in Nunukan Regency. Adaptive capacity can be the main key in preventing a decrease in the carrying index. The form of adaptive capacity carried out by utilizing information, building partnerships among the private and non-private sectors, strengthening stakeholder involvement and control, growing capacity constructing, enforcing regulatory frameworks, and protecting weather change and different environmental adjustments in adaptive management structures.
