An exploration of the impact of self-contained breathing apparatus tasks upon the cognition, physiology, and coping strategies of English firefighters during structural fires

Firefighting operations are characterised by high time pressures, a high degree of task and environment uncertainty, life-or-death situations, and the continuous emergence of novel events.

In Situ Colloidal Activated Carbon for PFAS Remediation in Groundwater: Principles, Performance Expectations, and Lessons from the First Decade

Groundwater Monitoring &Remediation, EarlyView.
Abstract Injectable colloidal activated carbon (CAC) has been commercially used to remediate per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in groundwater since 2016. The basis of the technology is enhanced PFAS retention within the aquifer from engineered increases in aquifer‐matrix sorptivity (“PFAS enhanced retention”), with re‐equilibration from the ...

Leaders' Functional Specialization and Responses to Institutional Shifts during Crises: Evidence from the Pandemic

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Prior studies on crisis management often highlight the adaptiveness of generalist leaders, whose diverse functional experiences allow for flexible and innovative responses. However, we propose that in situations where crises lead to abrupt shifts in dominant institutional pressures, leaders with specialized functional backgrounds potentially ...

Understanding and Addressing the Disruptive Impacts of Contemporary Climate Crises

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Contemporary climate crises, such as wildfires, droughts, floods, and tropical storms, are increasing in frequency, intensity, scale, and duration. Organization and management scholars have been calling for more systematic study of the impacts of this increasing complexity on extant crisis governance arrangements and capacities for ...

Lightweight Fire Detection Algorithm YOLO-LRP for UAV Firefighting

Applied Sciences
This paper proposes a lightweight fire detection algorithm, YOLO-LRP, for UAV firefighting scenarios. The algorithm is improved based on YOLOv10, where the MobileOne reparameterized backbone is adopted to reduce computational complexity. The OREPA module

Increased p‐Tau181 Levels After Overnight Wakefulness Are Associated With Neuroticism in Young Women

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Overnight wakefulness, mimicking night shift conditions, impaired morning vigilance in healthy, reproductive‐aged women, regardless of estradiol or neuroticism. However, the overnight wakefulness‐related rise in the Alzheimer's disease blood biomarker p‐Tau181 was greater in women with higher neuroticism, suggesting that neurobiological vulnerability ...

Genotoxic Damage and microRNA Dysregulation in Firefighters: An Integrated Biomonitoring Case Study

Journal of Xenobiotics
Firefighters are potentially exposed to multiple harmful substances, and their activities are classified as carcinogenic to humans. This case study assessed early genotoxic damage (fpg-comet and BMCyt assays) and epigenetic alterations (seven circulating

Key sources of uncertainty in process‐based modeling of live fuel moisture content

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Location of the selected live fuel moisture content (LFMC) sampling sites. Summary Process‐based models that mechanistically represent water‐carbon balances in the atmosphere‐soil–plant continuum are an attractive tool for monitoring live fuel moisture content (LFMC) dynamics, a key variable when assessing fire danger.
