Summary: This study presents a new dyadic paradigm to study the causal mechanisms of social support in the laboratory. The findings show that free-form interaction with a friend enhances the recovery of emotional state, supporting the validity of spontaneous interaction between friends as a model of social support.

Summary: The increased complexity of infrastructure systems has resulted in critical interdependencies between multiple networks, where failures in one system can lead to a cascade of failures in other systems. The recovery process of a system often requires resources from other networks, causing documented interdependencies induced by the recovery process. Recovery coupling, capturing the dependence of the recovery of one system on the instantaneous functional state of another system, slows down the recovery process if the supporting networks are not functional.

Summary: Recovery-based design aims to connect building-level engineering with broader community resilience goals. However, the relationship between above-code engineering improvements and recovery performance is nonlinear and varies depending on the specific building and site, posing a challenge to individual owners and code developers. This paper presents an optimization framework that identifies optimal above-code design improvements to achieve building-specific recovery objectives. The framework includes surrogate models that estimate recovery performance under different improvements and enable complex optimization techniques based on stakeholder priorities.

Summary: Infrastructure damage can have significant household-level consequences, especially for socially vulnerable residents. The lack of decision support tools to center user needs during recovery is currently a challenge. System theoretic process analysis (STPA) can be utilized to design a decision support tool architecture suitable for coordinated multiagency recovery efforts.

Summary: Community recovery from hazards involves diffusion processes within social and spatial networks. In this study, a network diffusion model was created to characterize population activity recovery in spatial networks. The results show heterogeneous spatial effects of recovery, with low-income and minority areas acting as multipliers for community recovery. Therefore, prioritizing resource allocation in these areas can expedite the recovery process while promoting equality and equity.

Summary: The study examined the relationship between system recovery and network topology, showing that recovery behavior and recoverability measure are affected by both network size and topology. As network size increases, recovery behavior becomes more dispersed, while higher network connectivity enhances network recoverability.

Summary: This study proposed a theoretical framework based on genetic variations that promote resilience to highly heritable polygenic disorders, such as schizophrenia. By establishing a procedure to identify unaffected individuals with relatively high polygenic risk for the disease and generating the first known polygenic resilience score, this work laid a foundation for finding resilience variants for any complex, heritable disorder.

Summary: The understanding of recovery processes in power distribution grids is limited by the lack of realistic outage data, especially large-scale blackout datasets. By analyzing data from three electrical companies across the United States, researchers found that the recovery duration of an outage is connected with the downtime of its nearby outages and blackout intensity, but is independent of the number of customers affected. They presented a cluster-based recovery framework to analyze the dependence between outages and interpret the dominant role blackout intensity plays in recovery.

Summary: The study found that a supportive environment, privacy, safety from other consumers, and meaningful activities can enhance consumers' perception and experience of safety in acute mental health units. Breach of privacy, lack of meaningful activities, and fear of other consumers can make consumers feel unsafe. The presence of staff and engaging in meaningful activities are crucial in promoting feelings of safety and optimizing recovery for consumers.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the mental health, coping behaviours, and organisational commitment among Nurse Managers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results showed that approximately three quarters of the Nurse Managers had high anxiety scores, and 41% of them considered leaving their jobs. This suggests the need for strategies to minimize anxiety and enable coping as part of organisational planning to retain Nurse Managers in the profession.

Summary: This integrative review critically analyzes and synthesizes international literature on the knowledge gaps and learning needs of primary health care (PHC) nurses in providing mental health care. Despite the increasing integration of physical and mental health management in PHC, there is limited evidence regarding the knowledge gaps, skills development, and preparedness of PHC nurses to provide mental health care.

Summary: The principles of personal recovery are mainly applied in outpatient and community settings, while the integration of recovery-oriented care in mental health inpatient units may face challenges. Developing hope and a safe place is integral to recovery-oriented practice within mental health inpatient units. Staff workload and inadequate understanding of recovery concepts present challenges to promoting recovery-oriented care in everyday practice. Using strength-based practice is critical in promoting a safe space for consumers.
