(author), Kitsak, M.A. (author)As the world faces multiple crises, lessons from humanity's past can potentially suggest ways to decrease disruptions and increase societal resilience. From 1200 to 1100 BCE, several advanced societies in the Eastern Mediterranean suffered dramatic collapse. Though the causes of the Late Bronze Age Collapse are still debated, contributing...journal article 2024

Xiao, J. (author), Wang, L. (author), Qin, Z. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Communication-based distributed secondary control is deemed necessary to restore the state of islanding AC microgrids to set points. As its limited global information, the microgrids become vulnerable to cyber-attacks, which by falsifying the communicating singles, like the angular frequency, can disturb the power dispatch in the microgrids...journal article 2024

Cañizares Gaztelu, J.C. (author), Copeland, S.M. (author), Doorn, N. (author)This article contributes to recent work on justice in resilience-based projects for climate adaptation. At present, the model commonly used for guiding normative reflection in this domain is the tripartite model of justice, whereby justice is seen as comprising distributive, procedural and recognitional aspects. After discussing some conceptual...journal article 2023

Copeland, S.M. (author), Hinrichs-Krapels, S. (author), Fecondo, Federica (author), Santizo, Esteban Ralon (author), Bal, Roland (author), Comes, M. (author)BACKGROUND: Prompted by recent shocks and stresses to health systems globally, various studies have emerged on health system resilience. Our aim is to describe how health system resilience is operationalised within empirical studies and previous reviews. We compare these to the core conceptualisations and characteristics of resilience in a...journal article 2023

Zeng, Tao (author), Chen, Guohua (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author), Hu, Kun (author)In chemical industrial areas, technological accidents triggered by natural events (Natech events) may escalate. Complex cascading multi-hazard scenarios with high uncertainties may be caused. Resilience is an essential property of a system to withstand and recover from disruptive events. The present study focuses on the change of the resilience...journal article 2023

(author), Goerner, Sally (author), Webster, Ken (author), Fiscus, Dan (author), Ulanowicz, Robert E. (author)For many islands, the answer to the question “why a locally, self-sustaining, and regenerative economy is needed?” is clear. The struggle often lies in the “how”. Here, we argue that tools from regenerative economics, which follow an island economy-as-an-organism analogy, offer valuable and complementary insights to socio-metabolic research....journal article 2023

Schwind, Nicolas (author), Demirović, E. (author), Inoue, Katsumi (author), Lagniez, Jean Marie (author)In one of its simplest forms, Team Formation involves deploying the least expensive team of agents while covering a set of skills. While current algorithms are reasonably successful in computing the best teams, the resilience to change of such solutions remains an important concern: Once a team has been formed, some of the agents considered...journal article 2023

Knoester, Max J. (author), Bešinović, Nikola (author), Afghari, A.P. (author), Goverde, R.M.P. (author), van Egmond, Jochen (author)Disruptions occur frequently in railway networks, requiring timetable adjustments, while causing serious delays and cancellations. However, little is known about the performance dynamics during disruptions nor the extent to which the resilience curve applies in practice. This paper presents a data-driven quantification approach for an ex-post...journal article 2023

Arango, Erica (author), Nogal Macho, M. (author), Yang, M. (author), Sousa, Hélder S. (author), Stewart, Mark G. (author), Matos, José C. (author)The severe effects of extreme wildfire events in recent years have shown that the fire suppression approach is not enough to solve the problem. An alternative to dealing with this issue is to accept the impossibility of eliminating wildfire hazards and focus on preparing systems to be more resilient. However, existing decision-making tools...journal article 2023
