A systematic review of the prevalence, risk factors, and protective factors of posttraumatic stress disorder among paramedics

Journal of Traumatic Stress, EarlyView.
Abstract Paramedics are frequently exposed to trauma and may be at elevated risk of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex PTSD (CPTSD). This review aimed to map PTSD prevalence among paramedics, identify risk and protective factors, and scope existing literature on CPTSD in paramedics.

Full-Scale Experimental Analysis of the Behavior of Electric Vehicle Fires and the Effectiveness of Extinguishing Methods

Fire
The emergence of electric vehicles (EVs) has brought specific risks, including the possibility of fires or explosions resulting from mechanical, thermal, or electrical failures, which can lead to thermal runaway (TR).

Imposterism and Self‐Efficacy Among Canadian Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Residents: A National Survey

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
In this national survey of Canadian OHNS residents, imposter phenomenon was highly prevalent, with nearly 80% of trainees reporting moderate to intense symptoms. Female and junior residents demonstrated significantly higher imposter scores, while greater self‐efficacy was associated with lower levels of impostorism.

Conceptualizing the Street‐Level Bureaucrat Construct

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Differences among street‐level bureaucrats—across professions, institutional settings, regions, and countries—are largely overlooked in research. We propose conceptualizing the street‐level bureaucrat construct as a general variable that varies across institutional settings, professions, cultures, times, and locations. We analyze variations in

Occupational exposures of firefighting and prostate cancer risk in the Norwegian Fire Departments Cohort

Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health
OBJECTIVES: Excess incidence of prostate cancer (PC) is frequently observed among firefighters; however, the association with specific occupational exposures of firefighting, as well as the influence of a medical surveillance bias, remains unclear.

Why do we burn? Examining arguments underpinning the use of prescribed burning to manage wildfire risk

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Managing wildfire risk requires consideration of complex and uncertain scientific evidence as well as trade‐offs between different values and goals. Conflicting perspectives on what values and goals are most important, what ought to be done and what trade‐offs are acceptable complicate those decisions.

The role of mesoscale weather effects in simulating pyroconvection: A case study of the Santa Coloma de Queralt wildfire

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This large‐eddy simulation study on pyroconvection shows that the added value from resolving the mesoscale explicitly is found in the timing of pyrocumulus formation and circulation changes. The circulation of the convective plume itself is not substantially different between the simulations. Abstract Extreme wildfire events are characterised by strong

Perfluorohexanone for Clean Fire Suppression: Mechanisms, System Design, Applications, and Future Directions

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Driven by halon and high GWP agent phase out, perfluorohexanone is increasingly deployed in enclosures such as data centers, marine machinery spaces, and industrial process lines. This review summarizes application performance, discharge and distribution design, material compatibility, and byproduct control and maps practical gaps for large volume and ...

Value in the ‘valley of the shadow of death’—When the user is no longer the value arbiter

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract The Public Service Logic (PSL) user‐centric perspective on value creation has been one of its main critiques. Scholars argue that for some real‐world applications, such as emergency services, where users cannot engage with service offerings, the PSL must consider the roles of other service actors beyond just facilitators.
