Disasters, Volume 47, Issue 3, Page 806-829, July 2023., 2023 Psychological First Aid (PFA) is widely used in the early phases of disaster recovery, despite limited empirical evidence supporting its application. PFA aims to reduce distress and encourage adaptive coping and is grounded in five principles: the promotion of hope, self‐ and collective efficacy, social connectedness, safety, and calm.

Journal of Traumatic Stress, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 465-473, April 2023., 2023 Abstract The 2014 Hazelwood coal mine fire in the Latrobe Valley, Australia, distributed toxic smoke into surrounding communities over 45 days. This study investigated risk and protective factors associated with four trajectories of posttraumatic distress (resilient, recovery, delayed‐onset, chronic) among exposed adults.

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Monitoring is critical to assess management effectiveness, but broadscale systematic assessments of monitoring to evaluate and improve recovery efforts are lacking. We compiled 1808 time series from 71 threatened and near‐threatened terrestrial and volant mammal species and subspecies in Australia (48% of all threatened mammal taxa) to compare

Global effects of forest modification on herpetofauna communities
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023 Abstract As the area covered by human‐modified environments grows, it is increasingly important to understand the responses of communities to the novel habitats created, especially for sensitive and threatened taxa. We aimed to improve understanding of the major evolutionary and ecological processes that shape the assemblage of amphibian and reptile ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 6, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Development and implementation of effective protected area management to reduce deforestation depend in part on identifying factors contributing to forest loss and areas at risk of conversion, but standard land‐use‐change modeling may not fully capture contextual factors that are not easily quantified.

Disasters, Volume 46, Issue 1, Page 141-161, January 2022., 2022 The aim of this study is to investigate what women do in disaster situations and how both men and women perceive and discuss the work of women. These patterns were evidenced in the stories that were told following the largest forest fire in the modern history of Sweden in July 2014.

, 2014 火灾荷载的数量与分布对于火灾发展和蔓延具有决定性作用,火灾荷载的确定是地下车库消防设计的基础。本文在传统火灾荷载评估法与直接计算法的基础上,提出了地下车库火灾荷载计算的模型化方法。该方法首先对地下车库可燃物类型进行调查统计,车库中主要包括汽车轮胎、汽车塑料构件、汽车燃油和汽车座椅4种可燃物;然后根据4种可燃物的燃烧特点,对轮胎和塑料构件采用模型化方法计算火灾荷载,对燃油和座椅采用传统火灾荷载计算方法;最后以一个总面积为45 200m2、总车位数为936个的地下车库为实例,通过调查统计与分析计算 ...

Gaoya dianqi, 2023 针对换流变压器火灾中换流变压器上方跨线受热后易发生断裂的现象，利用火灾动力学模拟软件（fire dynamics simulator,FDS），研究换流变压器发生火灾时，周边水喷雾系统对上部空间温度分布的影响。结果表明：处于围护结构中的换流变压器发生火灾时易形成贴壁火羽流，并在喷雾作用下在远离阀厅的位置形成另外的高温区域；变压器上油枕、套管等结构，影响了火灾发生时的羽流流场，进而阻碍了部分区域的温度演变，在模拟所得温度场情况下，线缆钢材温度已经超过其力学性能和机械性能失效的临界值 ...

, 2021 火后泥石流由起动条件的不同可以分为表面径流型火后泥石流和浅层滑坡型火后泥石流。由于表面径流型火后泥石流 多发生于火灾后的前两年，水土流失严重，灾害效应明显，因此，大多数研究集中在表面径流型火后泥石流。然而，对于火灾 较长时间后发生的浅层滑坡型火后泥石流，现有研究相对较少，这制约了人们对于浅层滑坡型火后泥石流起动条件和起动机理 的认知。与表面径流型火后泥石流相比，浅层滑坡型火后泥石流的形成主要是由于根-土强度的退化导致。因此，定量测定火灾 后根和土强度的衰减，是了解浅层滑坡型火后泥石流机理的必要条件 ...

Pollution and Haunted Eco‐Histories: Silent Hill and Silent Horrors in Centralia, Pennsylvania
Popular Culture Review, Volume 37, Issue 2, December 2026.ABSTRACT Centralia is a former mining town and borough in Northeastern Pennsylvania, whose population has been steadily declining since the Mine Fire of 1962—a fire that still burns today. The “horrors” of living in Centralia are reflected in horror media set in postindustrial mining towns like Silent Hill.
