BackgroundIt is unclear which potentially modifiable risk factors best predict post-trauma psychiatric disorders. We aimed to identify pre-trauma risk factors for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or major depression (MD) that could be targeted with resilience interventions.MethodNewly recruited paramedics (n = 453) were assessed for history of mental disorders with structured clinical interviews within the first week of their paramedic training and completed self-report measures to assess hypothesized predictors.

Abstract:
Abstract The profession of a paramedic involves a constant contact with traumatic events - road accidents, disasters, acts of violence and so on. As a consequence of such frequent and long-lasting exposure to traumatic events, paramedics are prone to developing PTSD (Posttraumatic Stress Disorder). This is a chronic disorder impacting cognitive, emotional, behavioral and somatic experiences. As a result of a prolonged exposure to stressful events, such condition can be life threatening. There are two ways of diagnosing PTSD: structured interviews and self-rating questionnaires (self-rating sca

Abstract:
Pressurised Thermal Shock (PTS) is one potential risk to the integrity of the reactor pressure vessel in a pressurised water reactor. It has been postulated that PTS could occur as a result of various initiating events such as loss-of-coolant accidents with subsequent re-pressurisation. Experimental studies of PTS are typically very difficult and expensive to perform because both a severe thermal shock and a primary load must be applied to the test specimen, while the specimen itself must be very large to imitate the behaviour of the RPV wall.

In addition, an analytical stress solution for PTS on the RPV is proposed to allow a complete analytical estimation of the stress intensity factor KI for the PTS problem.

A rolling-pendulum TMD (RPTMD) is a mass that can roll on a base with a curvature instead of swaying with a cable, significantly reducing the requirement of vertical rooms. In addition, a ball-in-ball SRPTMD is equivalent to a system with two degrees of freedom in series. This study aimed to derive equations
