Abstract:
How do stressful life events impact well-being, and how does their impact differ from person to person? In contrast to work focusing on discrete classes of responding, the current study examines the adequacy of a model where responses to stressors are characterized by a population average and continuous variability around that average. Using decades of yearly data from a large German longitudinal study examining effects of divorce, spousal loss, and unemployment, we found that (1) in the overall population, life satisfaction was diminished for years preceding stressors and only incompletely re

Abstract:
Abstract Over the adult life-span there is a self-reported shift in daily life emotions towards feeling less negative and more positive. We hypothesized that variations in emotion regulation behavior over the life-span could explain why aging is associated with this “rosy glow”. We collected survey data from 400 adults on Prolific (18-90, M = 47, SD = 16) at three time points: once before and two times following the 2018 Midterm Elections. We collected political engagement ratings, baseline emotion ratings, emotion ratings following the election, and self-reported emotion regulation behavior (

Background: Much debate exists about whether it is appropriate to talk to children with a life-limiting illness (LLI) about their diagnosis and prognosis. Traditionally a protective stance has been adopted, excluding children from conversations about them and their illness, In order to protect them from 'harm'. This exclusion is mirrored within the research literature with the child's voice seemingly absent. This raises the question 'how do we know what children's experiences of the communication processes around them and their illness, are if we do not ask them?' Objectives: This research aim

Abstract A new surface treatment technology for weathering steels was developed. The developed treatment promotes the early formation of protective rust by applying a treatment film with high permeability with respect to water, which is a factor in corrosion, and fine particles of artificial rust, which encourage the preferential formation of protective rust. This results in an early transition to the protective rust condition, which normally occurs in weathering steels only after long exposure.

Abstract:
This paper provides an insight on the gender impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Caribbean. The analysis makes use of the April 2020 online COVID-19 survey that the Inter-American Development conducted in all six Caribbean Country Department member countries. We find that the pandemic is having different effects on men and women. For example, job losses have been more prevalent amongst single-females, whilst business closures have been more prevalent amongst single-males. Quality of life also seems to have worsened more for single-females than for single-males and partners (married or commo

Abstract:
Death is a natural part of life, but many Canadians are hesitant to have essential conversations about the end of their lives. The Vanier Institute of the Family seeks to change this with the publication of Family Perspectives: Death and Dying in Canada, a conversation catalyst intended to spark dialogue in households, workplaces and communities across the country by exploring death and dying through a family lens. Family Perspectives: Death and Dying in Canada examines the evolution of death and dying in Canada across generations, the desires and realities of families surrounding death and dy

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: This scoping review aims to identify published methods that have used automatic speech recognition or text-to-speech recognition technologies to detect hearing loss and report on their accuracy and limitations. Condition being studied: Hearing enables us to communicate with the surrounding world. According to reports by the World Health Organization, 1.5 billion suffer from some degree of hearing loss of which 430 million require medical attention. It is estimated that by 2050, 1 in every 4 people will experience some sort of hearing disability. Hearing loss can si

Abstract:
This case study focuses on the mysteries surrounding the critically endangered Kemp’s ridley sea turtle, Lepidochelys kempii, the most threatened of the world’s sea turtles. Basic questions about Kemp’s ridleys, such as where they nested, and what were juveniles doing on the eastern seaboard, went unanswered for a long time. Now that researchers know these answers, they can work on trying to mitigate the threats to these, and other sea turtles, including coastal development, fisheries, and harvesting. The essentials of sea turtle conservation biology, including life history traits and threats

Abstract:
The U.S. population is aging rapidly. As people get older, they increasingly face issues such as increased susceptibility to injuries and the need to be assisted with many day-to-day activities. Older adults have the opportunity to opt-in to live in an older adult community (OAC) based on their needs and capabilities. This study comprehensively reviews existing governing development regulations and design criteria related to the older adults’ communities, conducts surveys among people involved with some of these communities in California, and recommends improvements to community design for act

Abstract:
The enhanced understanding of nanomaterials properties and processing has led to increased use of nanotechnologies, which has also led to greater scrutiny on the commercialization and acquisition of emerging nanoenabled technologies. Caused by knowledge gaps on the unique behaviors, risks, and liabilities of novel engineered nanomaterials, this caution, when not evidence based, slows production and stifles innovation. Reducing the uncertainty surrounding the environmental risks and benefits of nanoenabled technologies, including their resilience in harsh environments, will speed the developmen

Abstract:
Knowledge gaps surrounding natural infrastructure (NI) life cycles and performance thwart widespread implementation of NI in civil works projects. In particular, information about funding or financing the scoping, design, construction, monitoring, and adaptive management of NI projects constitutes a key need as there is no standard process for securing funds. This technical note is part of a series documenting successful examples of funding NI projects and sharing lessons learned about a variety of funding and financing methods to increase the implementation of NI projects.

Abstract:
Long-haul truck drivers (LHTD) play a fundamental role in India’s economy, significantly contributing to the country’s GDP and are essential in the transportation sector. Extensive literature has highlighted concerns related to the LHTD’s working conditions, including long working hours, inadequate sleep, isolation, and the effects on their health and wellbeing. However, current literature lacks information surrounding the numerous risk and protective factors that configure the lifestyles of Indian LHTD. Aiming to explore how these factors affect physical and mental health, the present study a
