Thematic analysis is a widely cited method for analyzing qualitative data. As team of graduate students, we sought to explore methods data that were grounded in philosophies and aligned with our orientation as applied health researchers. We identified reflexive thematic analysis, developed by Braun Clarke, an interpretive firmly situated within paradigm would also have broad applicability range research designs. In this approach the subjectivity researcher recognized viewed not problematic...
Abstract. Given the increased attention on resilience strengthening in international humanitarian and development work, there is a growing need to invest its measurement overall accountability of initiatives. The purpose this article present our framework tool for measuring community-level flooding generating empirical evidence share experience application concept. At time writing being tested 75 communities across eight countries. Currently 88 potential sources are measured at baseline...
Disasters pose a growing threat to sustainable development. Disaster risk management efforts have largely failed arrest the underlying drivers of increased global risk: uncontrolled urbanization and proliferation assets in hazardous areas. Resilience provides an opportunity confront social‐ecological foundations development; yet it has been vaguely conceptualized, without offering concrete approach operationalization. We propose conceptualization disaster resilience centred on well‐being: ‘...
Audience effects on individual behaviour have often been interpreted in terms of increased arousal, which turn enhances the emission dominant responses. However, such drive‐based explanations do not readily fit all evidence audience effects. The present study examined influence driver presence a passenger. main findings were that incidence both signalling and speeding appeared to be reduced by certain types These results seem support control theory rather than account social facilitation. In...

Abstract Flood risk is increasing worldwide and there a growing need to better understand the co-benefits of investments in disaster resilience. Utilizing multinational community flood resilience dataset, this paper takes systems approach understanding community-level Using cluster analysis bivariate correlation methods, we develop typology capacity based on characteristics five capitals (human, financial, natural, physical, social).

These described a six-step process for managing their duty report...
The consideration of disaster resilience as a multidimensional concept provides viable and promising way forward for reducing risk minimizing impacts today in the future. What is missing understanding actual dynamics over time based on empirical evidence. This requires consistent measure resilience. To that end, Technical Resilience Grading Standard community flood resilience, was applied longitudinal study from 2016 to 2018 68 communities across globe. We analyse using an advanced boosted...

Many bats change the acoustic parameters of their echolocation calls in a deliberate manner during prey capture. Attempts to quantify these changes have been either limited scope or subject potentially severe errors due an inadequate consideration directionality both bat and recording microphone. Therefore, pulses emitted by two N. leporinus recorded as they approached captured stationary prey, with microphone positioned such way that structure incident upon target could be determined. The...
Background: The use of wiki technology fits well in courses that encourage constructive knowledge building and social learning by a community learners. Pedagogically, wikis have attracted interest higher education environments because they facilitate the collaborative processes required for developing student group assignments. Method: This article describes pilot project to assess implementation two online small- mid-sized elective comprising nursing students third- or fourth-year...
