Disasters are an increasing threat to human health, but we know little about their impact on health services, particularly in low and middle-income settings. 'Resilient hospitals' have been increasingly recognized as a cornerstone of disaster management. While various frameworks of hospital resilience exist, they emerged from pre-disaster considera...

“恢复性”的概念受到了许多批评。在本文中，我们研究了三种最普遍的批评：i) 恢复性政策是一种自上而下的政策，很少考虑当地的特殊性； ii) 恢复性政策代表着向社会责任化的新自由主义转变，代表国家不再扮演保护性角色； iii) 人们关注恢复性，往往会将注意力从社会、政治和经济等造成脆弱性的潜在因素上转移开。我们分析了从尼泊尔地震后的巴尔帕克、2015年廓尔喀地震震中的村庄、地区总部和加德满都国收集的数据，认为这些批评在这种特定背景下具有联合显著性，但第一点和第三点特别指出了尼泊尔政府及其国际合作伙伴在增强尼泊尔社会恢复性的方式中存在的重要问题。我们认为，虽然在社会层面考虑恢复性有好处，但要认识到社会的不平等问题，要了解社会不同的脆弱程度如何反映了不平等问题，如何在恢复性建设计划中改善这些问题。...

The adoption of artificial intelligence in post-earthquake inspections and reconnaissance has received considerable attention in recent years, owing to its exponential increase in computation capabilities and inherent potential in addressing disadvantages associated with manual inspections. Herein, we present the effectiveness of automated deep lea...

This study explores a super-elastic memory alloy re-centering damper device and investigates its performance in improving the response of steel frame structures subjected to multi-level seismic hazard. The configuration of the device was initially proposed by the authors in a different paper. The proposed super-elastic memory alloy re-centering dam...

On 14th August 2021, a magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck the Tiburon Peninsula in the Caribbean nation of Haiti, approximately 150 km west of the capital Port-au-Prince. Aftershocks up to moment magnitude 5.7 followed and over 1,000 landslides were triggered. These events led to over 2,000 fatalities, 15,000 injuries and more than 137,000 structural ...

Population growth and spread have increased human exposure to natural hazards and potential disasters affecting people’s quality of life. This situation is especially manifested in marginalized or vulnerable areas. Moreover, within such vulnerable areas, children are especially affected, and are, at the same time, considered to be agents of change....

The construction period of most tailing ponds generally lasts for more than 10 years or even decades. During this period, it may be affected by more than one earthquake and is often subjected to vibrations generated by mining activities. The tailings liquefied by earthquakes or vibrations may experience dynamic loads again. Due to the low permeabil...

How to recognise potential disasters is a question at the centre of risk analysis. Over-reliance on an incomplete, often epistemologically-biased, historical record, and a focus on quantified and quantifiable risks, have contributed to unanticipated disasters dominating both casualties and financial losses in the first part of the 21st century. Her...

The aftereffects of the severe 2016 Kumamoto earthquake were complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to identify mental health problems and related factors among survivors five years after the earthquake and clarify its long-term effects. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2020 among 19,212 survivors affected by the earthquake...

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common mental disorder following traumatic events. The present study was conducted to understand the prevalence of PTSD after the earthquake in Iran and Pakistan. The review includes all articles published from inception to March 2019. The pooled prevalence for overall PTSD was 55.6% (95% CI: 49.9-61.3). It...
