“…In recent years, positive psychology has gradually developed. As a new breakthrough point, resilience has become a research hotspot in the field of mental health at home and abroad and has been widely used in various fields such as psychology, pedagogy, military affairs, cancer, and patients with chronic diseases (Barthélemy et al, 2021 ; Talubo et al, 2022 ). Resilience is one of the important reasons for maintaining mental health, which refers to the ability of individuals to confront and adapt to stress, adversity, or trauma (Southwick and Charney, 2012 ).…”

Objectives: To investigate the correlation between psychological resilience, social support, and coping styles in patients with complicated hepatolithiasis.Methods: The objective sampling method was used in this study to select a total of 156 patients with complicated hepatolithiasis in a Third-class Grade A hospital in Changsha, Hunan Province from January to December 2019. Self-designed general data questionnaire, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), and the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ) were used to conduct a questionnaire investigation. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between psychological resilience, social support, and coping styles in patients with complicated hepatolithiasis.Results: Both the total score of psychological resilience (45.79 ± 16.28) and social support (35.71 ± 9.92) of patients with complicated hepatolithiasis were significantly lower than those of the domestic norm. The total score of psychological resilience of patients with complicated hepatolithiasis was positively correlated with the total score of social support (r = 0.570, p < 0.01). The total score of psychological resilience and its three dimensions were positively correlated with the positive coping (r = 0.682, 0.673, 0.663, 0.535, p < 0.01)and negatively correlated with negative coping (r = −0.240, −0.207, −0.221, −0.286, p < 0.01).Conclusions: This study indicated that strengthening social support and improving the coping style of patients with complicated hepatolithiasis are helpful to improve their psychological resilience, which provided theory basis and reference for further intervention measures to improve social support system and coping styles.

“…As complex systems, cities are exposed to long-term disturbances and shocks from the external environment, such as natural disasters (Zhou et el., 2022;Kondo and Lizarralde, 2021), economic crises (Ulfarsson et al, 2015;Tomao et al, 2021), climate change (Zimmerman and Faris, 2011) and the spread of infectious diseases (Cheng et al, 2022;Jin et al, 2023). City managers have incorporated the engineering concept of "resilience" into urban planning and construction to mitigate the negative effects of these shocks and assist cities in developing stably and sustainably (Murgatroyd and Hall, 2020;Wang L, 2022), as well as to improve the quality of the living environment and the standard of living for residents (Snep et al, 2020;Talubo et al, 2022). The concept of urban resilience is a comprehensive concept with multiple attributes (Dianat et al, 2022;Khatibi et al, 2022).…”

Introduction: Urban resilience construction can aid in the management of urban crises and enhance the quality of the human living environment. Compared to metropolises in developed regions, cities in underdeveloped regions with unsatisfactory natural environments, insufficient economic and social development, and inadequate infrastructure construction are highly vulnerable to challenges posed by natural disasters, epidemics, and climate change. Comprehensive quantitative evaluations are needed to identify avenues for enhancing urban resilience.Methods: This study employs the TOPSIS entropy weight method and coupled coordination model to evaluate the economic, social, environmental, and infrastructure resilience of six cities and states along the Sichuan-Tibet Railway in China from 2015 to 2020. Furthermore, correlation and gray correlation analysis are used to identify the primary factors influencing the urban resilience of underdeveloped regions.Results: Firstly, during 2015-2020, the overall urban resilience of each city and state maintained an increasing trend, with different trends in the evolution of the four resilience indices and differences among cities, and the highest overall resilience is in Lhasa. Secondly, the coupling coordination between the overall resilience and each resilience aspect maintained an increasing trend and differed significantly from each other. Finally, the social and economic resilience of each city and state maintained an increasing trend and differed significantly from each other.Discussion: Economic, social, environmental, and infrastructure factors each have their own characteristics in influencing urban resilience. Based on the results, we present a three-dimensional evaluation model for analyzing the evolutionary trajectories and resilience patterns of cities. This work intends to present new concepts for assessing and optimizing urban resilience in underdeveloped regions using quantitative methodologies, as well as providing references for urban resilience construction in these places.

“…This article is not meant to present a review of numerous contributions that coexist in these different domains. However, based on published critical reviews [9,10,11,12], this article argues for an innovative transdisciplinary approach that incorporates core principles of human ecology.…”

“…Some authors have assumed that changing individual and collective behaviors can provide effective responses to these hazards and risks [4,5,6]. These kinds of contributions have been criticized by social theorists who reject the way that biological analogies have been applied uncritically to human societies while discounting human agency and cultural predispositions, political authority, power structures and social injustice [9,10]. Moreover, Joseph argued that arguments of some authors are aligned with neo-liberalism and particularly how principles of individual liberty should guide personal and collective behaviors rather than institutional change and societal transformations [11].…”

Being Human: Rethinking Adaptation and Resilience

Adaptability, resilience, andsustainability have become buzzwords that refer to notions about the properties of something, and an objective to be achieved and maintained, as well as human intentionality in processes of change. They are notions that were transferred between and beyond academic disciplines in the health and medical sciences, natural and physical sciences, and human and social sciences; and they are currently used in everyday language. How these notions are used regarding ecological hazards, financial risks, health threats, and social perils is influenced by numerous variables including individual and communal human factors. This article rethinks common interpretations of adaptability and resilience in the context of sustainability. It posits that human ecology provides a conceptual framework incorporating the diversity of their meanings and uses in a complex and heterogenous world. The article highlights that many contributions from authors in various disciplines have borrowed concepts and ideas from ecology, biology, and systems analysis but they have discounted the fundamental nature of being human, even when socio-ecological systems are studied. Then, the article explains the ingredients of an anthropo-logic, a core constituent of human ecology, which includes cultural and societal variables while recognizing individual and group differences. These variables can account for the diverse sometimes conflicting ways people perceive, understand, and respond to risks and threats to their lives and habitats. The article applies core principles of human ecology to comprehend contrasting responses to global change (including extreme weather events and repeated flooding in cities) in an increasingly polarized world.
