The ISERA framework integrates security by design principles, micro-segmentation, and Island Mode Operation (IMO) to enhance cyber resilience and ensure continuous, secure operations. The methodology deploys a Forward-Thinking Architecture Strategy (FTAS) algorithm, which utilises an industrial Intrusion Detection System (IDS) implemented with Python’s Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) library. The FTAS algorithm successfully identified and responded to cyber-attacks, ensuring minimal system disruption. ISERA has been validated through comprehensive testing scenarios simulating Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and malware intrusions, at both the IT and OT layers where it successfully mitigates the impact of malicious activity. Results demonstrate ISERA’s efficacy in real-time threat detection, containment, and incident response, thus ensuring the integrity and reliability of critical infrastructure systems. ISERA’s decentralised approach contributes to global net zero goals by optimising resource use and minimising environmental impact. By adopting a decentralised control architecture and leveraging virtualisation, ISERA significantly enhances the cyber resilience and sustainability of critical infrastructure systems. This approach not only strengthens defences against evolving cyber threats but also optimises resource allocation, reducing the system’s carbon footprint. As a result, ISERA ensures the uninterrupted operation of essential services while contributing to broader net zero goals.展开更多

ISERA’s decentralised approach contributes to global net zero goals by optimising resource use and minimising environmental impact. By adopting a decentralised control architecture and leveraging virtualisation, ISERA significantly enhances the cyber resilience and sustainability of critical infrastructure systems. This approach not only strengthens defences against evolving cyber threats but also optimises resource allocation, reducing the system’s carbon footprint. As a result, ISERA ensures the uninterrupted operation of essential services while contributing to broader net zero goals.

文摘Resilient smart urban water distribution networks are essential to ensure smooth urban operation and maintain daily water services.However,the dynamics and complexity of smart water distribution networks make its re-silience study face many challenges.The introduction of digital twin technology provides an innovative solution for the resilience study of smart water distribution networks,which can more effectively support the network’s real-time monitoring and intelligent control.This paper proposes a digital twin architecture of smart water dis-tribution networks,laying the foundation for the resilience assessment of water distribution networks.Based on this,a performance evaluation model based on user satisfaction is proposed,which can more intuitively and effectively reflect the performance of urban water supply services.Meanwhile,we propose a method to quantify the importance of water distribution pipes’residual resilience,considering the time value to optimize the re-covery sequence of failed pipes and develop targeted preventive maintenance strategies.Finally,to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method,this paper applies it to a water distribution network.The results show that the proposed method can significantly improve the resilience and enhance the overall resilience of smart urban water distribution networks.

文摘Earthquakes pose significant perils to the built environment in urban areas.To avert the calamitous aftermath of earthquakes,it is imperative to construct seismic resilient cities.Due to the intricacy of the concept of urban seismic resilience(USR),its assessment is a large-scale system engineering issue.The assessment of USR should be based on the notion of urban seismic capacity(USC)assessment,which includes casualties,economic loss,and recovery time as criteria.Functionality loss is also included in the assessment of USR in addition to these criteria.The assessment indicator system comprising five dimensions(building and lifeline infrastructure,environment,society,economy,and institution)and 20 indicators has been devised to quantify USR.The analytical hierarchy process(AHP)is utilized to compute the weights of the criteria,dimensions,and indicators in the urban seismic resilience assessment(USRA)indicator system.When the necessary data for a city are obtainable,the seismic resilience of that city can be assessed using this framework.To illustrate the proposed methodology,a moderate-sized city in China was selected as a case study.The assessment results indicate a high level of USR,suggesting that the city possesses strong capabilities to withstand and recover from potential future earthquakes.

文摘Antimony smelting activities damage the soil and vegetation surroundings while generating economic value.However,no standardizedmethods are available to diagnose the extent of soil degradation at antimony smelting sites.This study developed a standardized framework for assessing soil quality by consideringmicrobial-induced resilience and heavymetal contamination at Xikuangshan antimony smelting site.The soil resilience index(SRI)and soil contamination index(SCI)were calculated byMinimum Data Set and geo-accumulation model,respectively.After standardized by a multi-criteria quantitative procedure of modified Nemerow’s pollution index(NPI),the integrated assessment of soil quality index(SQI),which is the minimumof SRINPI and SCINPI,was achieved.The results showed that Sb and As were the prominent metal(loid)pollutants,and significant correlations between SQI and SRI indicated that the poor soil quality was mainly caused by the low level of soil resilience.The primary limiting factors of SRI were Fungi in high andmiddle contaminated areas,and Skermanella in low contaminated area,suggesting that the weak soil resilience was caused by low specific microbial abundances.Microbial regulation and phytoremediation are greatly required to improve the soil quality at antimony smelting sites from the perspectives of pollution control and resilience improvement.This study improves our understanding of ecological effects of antimony smelting sites and provides a theoretical basis for ecological restoration and sustainable development of mining areas.

文摘BACKGROUND Return to work(RTW)serves as an indication for young and middle-aged colorectal cancer(CRC)survivors to resume their normal social lives.However,these survivors encounter significant challenges during their RTW process.Hence,scientific research is necessary to explore the barriers and facilitating factors of returning to work for young and middle-aged CRC survivors.AIM To examine the current RTW status among young and middle-aged CRC survivors and to analyze the impact of RTW self-efficacy(RTW-SE),fear of progression(FoP),eHealth literacy(eHL),family resilience(FR),and financial toxicity(FT)on their RTW outcomes.METHODS A cross-sectional investigation was adopted in this study.From September 2022 to February 2023,a total of 209 participants were recruited through a convenience sampling method from the gastrointestinal surgery department of a class A tertiary hospital in Chongqing.The investigation utilized a general information questionnaire alongside scales assessing RTW-SE,FoP,eHL,FR,and FT.To analyze the factors that influence RTW outcomes among young and middle-aged CRC survivors,Cox regression modeling and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were used.RESULTS A total of 43.54%of the participants successfully returned to work,with an average RTW time of 100 days.Cox regression univariate analysis revealed that RTW-SE,FoP,eHL,FR,and FT were significantly different between the non-RTW and RTW groups(P<0.05).Furthermore,Cox regression multivariate analysis identified per capita family monthly income,job type,RTW-SE,and FR as independent influencing factors for RTW(P<0.05).CONCLUSION The RTW rate requires further improvement.Elevated levels of RTW-SE and FR were found to significantly increase RTW among young and middle-aged CRC survivors.Health professionals should focus on modifiable factors,such as RTW-SE and FR,to design targeted RTW support programs,thereby facilitating their timely reintegration into mainstream society.
文摘Since the beginning of this year, the China-US economic and trade tensions have brought many challenges to China's clothing export companies. Nevertheless, in the face of difficulties, China's clothing foreign trade still shows strong resilience and adaptability. From January to May, China's clothing exports showed characteristics such as increased volume, lower prices, category differentiation, and multi-point market layout. Meanwhile, Chinese clothing companies have actively responded to trade friction impacts by closely monitoring tariff negotiations, accelerating transformation and upgrading, exploring diversified international markets, and deepening domestic markets.
文摘Low resilience levels in patients with cancer have been associated with anxiety,depression,and reduced quality-of-life(QoL),resilience serves as a crucial mediating variable in these pathways,constituting one of the most actively investigated research domains.Recent studies on the correlation between resilience,coping styles,and QoL have offered important insights into the potential psychological mechanisms through which resilience could affect emotional well-being and overall QoL in patients with cancer.These findings suggest that low resilience constitutes a significant risk factor for cancer prognosis.This study reviews the negative impact of low resilience on cancer prognosis and highlights resilience-enhancing interventions.Promoting resilience-focused interventions may represent a promising approach to ameliorate anxiety and depression,thus improving QoL and potentially improving clinical prognosis for patients with cancer.
文摘Bioethics is the argumentative discipline of decisions and actions that reduce conflicts of interest,dilemmas,or asymmetries between the parties involved in biomedical research.The objective of this work was to review and compare the dimensions used by bioethics in the communicative management of the pandemic,namely:risk,vulnerability,resilience,and stigma.A documentary,exploratory,transversal,and retrospective work was carried out with a sample of sources indexed in international repositories,considering the search by keywords and the publication period from 2020 to 2024.The results demonstrate the prevalence of supply,contagion,symptoms,and help against COVID-19.
文摘Patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD),particularly those undergoingmaintenance hemodialysis(MHD),often experience mental health issues.Recentstudies have indicated a significantly elevated prevalence of anxiety and depressioncoupled with reduced resilience in this population.The complex interactionbetween these three factors is exacerbated by multiple negative influences.This study reviews recent advances in research on the relationship betweenmental health impairment,quality of life(QoL),and prognosis in patients withCKD.The findings revealed that prolonged MHD dependence,economic burdenof healthcare,and other psychological factors diminish patients’resilience andintensify negative emotions(e.g.,anxiety and depression).The interactionsbetween negative emotions and physiology create a vicious cycle,deterioratingQoL and clinical outcomes.We propose that patients with long-term MHDdependentCKD should be classified as a high-risk group for mental healthimpairments that need regular psychological screening and personalized psychomedicalinterventions.This integrated management model may help improvenegative emotions and disrupt the bidirectional psychophysiological interplay,offering a novel clinical pathway for improving the QoL and prognosis.

文摘Studying the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics and coupling coordination relationship of urban and rural resilience is of substantial theoretical and practical significance to improving the ability of urban and rural areas to resist risk and for promoting their coordinated development.This study establishes a comprehensive evaluation index system of urban and rural resilience that encom-passes industrial,social,and ecological subsystems as well as stability,sensitivity,and adaptability.For each of the prefecture-level city in Northeast China,we evaluated its urban and rural resilience and determined the coupling coordination level between them using data spanning 2010,2015,and 2020.The resilience levels of both urban and rural areas in Northeast China are continuously improving.The high-value area of urban resilience is mainly located in the central cities of Northeast China,and prominent in urban agglomeration areas,while rural resilience is predominantly high in the north and low in the south.The high-value area of the coupling coordination degree is mainly distributed in the arc-shaped zone extending from south to north in the eastern part of Northeast China,with the level of coupling coordination increased overall.Non-parametric testing revealed significant differences in urban industrial stability,urban in-dustrial adaptability,rural industrial stability,rural social adaptability,and rural ecological stability among types of cities differing in their coupling coordination development.Our findings provide a reference for enhancing urban and rural resilience and their coordin-ated development path in Northeast China.

文摘To improve the resilience of railway stations,a typical station was selected as the research object,and an isolation design was introduced.Twenty-four groups of near-fault pulse-like ground motions were selected.The seismic resilience of the no-isolation railway stations(NIRS)and the isolation railway stations(IRS)were compared to provide a numerical result of the improvement in resilience.The results show that in the station isolation design,the station's functional requirements and structural characteristics should be considered and the appropriate placement of isolation bearings is under the waiting room.Under the action of a rare earthquake,the repair cost,repair time,rate of harm and death of the IRS were decreased by 8.04 million,18.30 days,6.93×10^(-3)and 1.21×10^(-3),respectively,when compared to the NIRS.The IRS received a seismic resilience grade of three-stars and the NIRS only one-star,indicating that rational isolation design improves the seismic resilience of stations.Thus,for the design of stations close to earthquake faults,it is suggested to utilize appropriate isolation techniques to improve their seismic resilience.
文摘This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between China and Spain.Over these two decades,this relationship has matured into a model of mutual respect,strategic foresight,and vibrant cooperation,serving as a cornerstone for stability and growth in both nations and offering a reference for productive China-EU engagement.
文摘Resilience studies for water distribution systems(WDS)coupled with other interdependent infrastructure systems attract increasing attention from stakeholders and researchers.However,most existing large-scale WDS models are single infrastructure-based without consideration of other infrastructure systems.This is due to a lack of needed information on systems coupling,the structure of the simulator used,and the computation load involved.To address these gaps,this paper presents a synthetic modeling framework for a real-world WDS as coordinating with other infrastructure systems via a building-mediated clustering approach through consideration of physical distance and node capacity.First,the WDS network topology and operation parameters are inferred via bulk open-source information.A building-mediated clustering approach is designed to systematically derive the interdependence between the WDS and the power system similarly created as a case study.Second,a novel linearization method is developed in formulating the WDS model that can relieve computation load while maintaining accuracy.Finally,a disruption-recovery framework is developed to demonstrate the proposed methodology in modelling WDS resilience.The framework is applied to a neighborhood in Queenstown,Singapore,an area of 20.43 km^(2) and 96,000 population.The near-real-time simulations on the coupled system involving 308 nodes and 384 links showcase the effectiveness and application of the proposed synthetic modeling and formulation.
