ABSTRACT Natural hazards significantly disrupt access to essential services, affecting individuals' capacity to withstand and recover from such events. However, existing hazard resilience models often fail to account for the interdependencies among essential services and lack the spatial resolution needed to assess accessibility loss at the building ...

Firefighting Tactis Using Drones
Upotreba bespilotnih letjelica (dronova) u vatrogastvu postaje sve češća praksa u modernim sustavima civilne zaštite. Njihova primjena donosi brojne prednosti, osobito u fazama izviđanja, nadzora i taktičkog planiranja prilikom gašenja požara.

The present study demonstrated that PFOA and HFPO‐TA exposure suppressed CDK4, disrupted MERCs and impaired PINK1/Parkin‐mediated mitophagy, thereby accelerating cardiac senescence, whereas CAG effectively reversed these pathological changes in vitro. Our findings identify CDK4 as a critical regulator bridging mitophagy defects and cardiac senescence ...

ABSTRACT Freshwater availability is a critical climate change challenge in coastal delta regions. This challenge requires a transformative change toward circular water management. While experimentation and collaborative governance are recognized as enablers of transformative change, their interaction remains complex and insufficiently understood ...

Potential Links Between Physiological and Perceptual Strain in High Heat Stress
ABSTRACT The physiological strain index (PhSI) is widely used to quantify thermoregulatory and cardiovascular strain during heat stress. However, direct physiological measurements may not always be feasible in occupational or athletic settings.

ABSTRACT Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic chemicals used in a variety of consumer and industrial applications for their water‐ and oil‐resistant properties. Firefighters can be exposed to PFAS as part of their job through gear, aqueous film‐forming foams (AFFFs) used to extinguish aircraft and liquid fuel fires, along with ...

Musculoskeletal (Mal)adaptations in Response to a > 30 000‐km Running Challenge
ABSTRACT Background Ultra‐endurance sports are increasingly popular, yet the long‐term physiological consequences of sustained extreme training loads remain poorly understood. In particular, the effects of prolonged ultra‐endurance exercise on skeletal muscle structure, function and molecular remodelling are largely unknown.

Applicability of a Simple Decay Function to Describe Fire‐Protective Fabrics' Aging Behavior
The simple decay function offers a mean to quantitatively analyze and contrast the aging behavior of various fire‐protective fabrics under a wide range of aging conditions. ABSTRACT Predicting the effect of aging conditions on materials' performance is a challenging yet critical task.
