Abstract:

Background: Robotic surgery is increasingly used in the treatment of lung disease. Intraoperative catastrophes, despite their low incidence, are currently a critical aspect of this approach. This study aims to identify the incidence and management of catastrophic events in patients who underwent robotic anatomical pulmonary resection; (2) Methods: Data from all patients who underwent robotic anatomical pulmonary resection from 2014 to 2021 for lung disease were collected and analyzed. Catastrophic intraoperative events are defined as events that demanded emergency management for life-threatening bleeding, with or without undocking and thoracotomy; (3) Results: Catastrophic events occurred in seven (1.4%) procedures; all of them consisted of vascular damage during lobectomy. Most of the catastrophic events occurred during left upper lobectomies (57%). Patients in this group had a higher ASA class and a higher pathological stage compared to the control group; (4) Conclusions: Intraoperative catastrophes are unpredictable events which also occur in experienced surgical teams. Given the widespread use of robotic surgery, it is essential to develop well-defined crisis management strategies to better manage catastrophic events in robotic thoracic surgery and improve clinical outcomes.

Abstract:

Biopsychosocial consequences of catastrophic events create an ongoing need for research that examines the effects of mass traumas, developing psychosocial interventions, and advocacy to address the needs of affected individuals, systems, and communities. Because it is neither possible nor necessarily desirable to intervene with all touched by disasters at an individual level, a systems approach that allows conceptualization and response at the individual, family, community, and societal levels seems optimal. Many of the models commonly used in counseling psychology to explain coping with difficult events focus on individual effects and do not adequately capture the complex, multisystemic effects of large-scale catastrophic events and disasters. A bioecological model of mass trauma, which provides a conceptual framework for understanding the effects, intervening in the aftermath, addressing prevention, and researching aspects of large-scale disasters, catastrophes, and mass traumas, is presented. Relevant literature and illustrative examples from three categories of mass traumas or catastrophic events (disasters, war, and terrorism or violence) that currently contribute to a persistent atmosphere of stress for many are reviewed using the bioecological model. Recommendations for future research are provided.

Abstract:

This article furthers the debate on the political implications of the Anthropocene – the most recent geological epoch marked by catastrophic environmental change – by engaging it through the lens of political theology. The article starts from the observation that discourses on the Anthropocene and related political projects are deeply influenced by a linear temporality and a common orientation towards the threat of the end of time. It distinguishes three competing discourses of the Anthropocene, eco-catastrophism, eco-modernism and planetary realism. The article analyses how these discourses invoke and update key symbols, images, and storylines of Christian political theology. Furthermore, it studies how each discourse mobilises these secularised Christian motifs to promote competing planet political projects. Each of these projects develops a different position towards the unfolding planetary crisis and the related threat of the end of time. Eco-catastrophism calls for a planetary emergency management, eco-modernism promotes ongoing experimentation with the planet, whereas planetary realism translates into what could be called a ‘realpolitik of resilience’. Revealing the Western theological roots of the Anthropocene and planet politics is essential if the emerging literature on the Anthropocene wants to live up to its promise of pluralising and decolonising IR.

Abstract:

The four articles in this “Catastrophic Asia” collection, while showcasing distinct disciplinary approaches to the subject of what anthropologist George E. Marcus (1994) might identify as “technopolitical” catastrophes, are united in the attempt to uncover the sociopolitical resonances of “manmade” damage in what we take to be regional Asia. In his bookTechnoscientific Imaginaries, Marcus recognizes that science is deeply political and already embedded in events. In this special section ofJAS, anthropologists join with scholars in the physical and natural sciences to apply this idea to catastrophic phenomena, continuing a transdisciplinary conversation that began in April 2014 at the Catastrophic Asia Symposium at the University of Colorado. Here, I contribute to this transdisciplinary enthusiasm by sharing with readers of an Asia-focused journal my own perspectives on catastrophe as a scholar of Brazil and a cultural anthropologist interested in medical anthropology and critical science studies. Specifically, I consider how experts working on issues related to the Angra dos Reis nuclear energy plant in Brazil—the site of my current research—viewed and discussed the Fukushima nuclear plant meltdown of 2011. By reading the current articles through the lens of my own research, I seek to situate catastrophe within a broader anthropological literature on environmental toxicity.

Abstract:

Highlight : Disasters impact a large number of people, including nurses who are deployed in the disaster relief. Culturally sensitive psychological first aid sessions, post-assignment in crisis situations monitoring, and grit have implications in pushing the nurses to overcome their trauma and obstacles. Government policies are also important in helping nurses to heal after deployment in disaster relief. Abstract : Disasters are defined as catastrophic occurrences that impact a large number of people quickly and with an abrupt onset. On average, one natural disaster is reported globally each day. However, the impact of a traumatic occurrence on an individual may be compared to a rock colliding with the surface of a water body. Systematic searches were conducted in Cochrane, Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science databases. The following keywords were used to perform a literature search: "nurse," "healing," and "natural catastrophes". As a result of reviewing 362 abstracts and titles, ten were determined to meet the study goals. The research methods in four of the ten literatures were qualitative, five quantitative, and one was a blend of both. Generally, culturally appropriate psychological first aid sessions, post-natural disaster assignment monitoring, and grit push people to overcome obstacles and accomplish achievements over time. Nurses who have been deployed to natural catastrophes must heal and need time to rest physically and mentally. This study aimed to find out the implications of culturally sensitive psychological first aid sessions, post-assignment in crisis situations monitoring, and grit in pushing individuals to overcome obstacles and achieve success over time; and how the government policies relate to trauma recovery.

Abstract:

Background. The financial effect of households’ out-of-pocket payments (OOP) on access and use of health systems has been extensively studied in the literature, especially in emerging or developing countries. However, it has been the subject of little research in European countries, and is almost nonexistent after the financial crisis of 2008. The aim of the work is to analyze the incidence and intensity of financial catastrophism derived from Spanish households’ out-of-pocket payments associated with health care during the period 2008–2015. Methods. The Household Budget Survey was used and catastrophic measures were estimated, classifying the households into those above the threshold of catastrophe versus below. Three ordered logistic regression models and margins effects were estimated. Results. The results reveal that, in 2008, 4.42% of Spanish households dedicated more than 40% of their income to financing out-of-pocket payments in health, with an average annual gap of EUR 259.84 (DE: EUR 2431.55), which in overall terms amounts to EUR 3939.44 million (0.36% of GDP). Conclusion. The findings of this study reveal the existence of catastrophic households resulting from OOP payments associated with health care in Spain and the need to design financial protection policies against the financial risk derived from facing these types of costs.

Abstract:

Sediment induced disasters have been studied in a wide variety of research fields ranging from social to natural science, with many interesting results. This special issue provides engineers and scientists with an opportunity to share knowledge and experience in engineering research concerning mass sediment movement and related disasters. To clarify this issue’s objectives and encourage submissions, topics have been discussed based on the needs, activities, and possible contributors classified into four categories: 1) Results based on field and literature surveys and data analysis for catastrophic, recent and historical mass ~~movement, and corresponding disaster events. 2) Results based on field surveys and data analysis for recent usual mass movement events and corresponding ~~disasters resulting from rainfall, earthquakes, volcanic activity, and glacier lakes and natural landslide dam events. 3) Mechanics and numerical modeling for mass movement. 4) Measures against sediment-induced and similar disasters. Last August, we began inviting submissions on these themes just as Typhoon Morakot slowly crossed Taiwan, causing historically significant rainfall events in southern Taiwan involving numerous landslides and debris flows and precipitated casualties, landscape changes, channel bed variations, etc., similar to the catastrophic sediment events occurring in Venezuela in 1999. Two papers describe what happened in Taiwan and Venezuela, providing advice on possible measures against such abnormal catastrophes. Three contributions describe historical catastrophes involving mountain collapse based on analysis of the literature, topography and field surveys, and numerical models. A total of 11 papers have been submitted, 4 of which concern applicability of constitutive equations for debris flow, numerical models for landslide occurrence due to rain fall and flood processes due to rapid landslide dam erosion, and sediment issues resulting from glacier lake outburst flooding. Two submissions focus on corrective measures. All papers have been reviewed, revised, and accepted for publications, and we believe this special issue will stimulate future studies and prove useful in practical and scientific fields. We heartily thank all of the authors undergoing the review process, and express our sincere appreciation to the distinguished reviewers, without whose invaluable aid this issue would not have been possible.

Abstract:

Facial palsy and its complications are quit catastrophic. It affects the structural, functional and emotional aspects of an individual. The primary management of facial palsy should be supportive with surgery being always the second choice. Surgical management of facial palsy is challenging for the surgeons and to the patients. In this article, various surgical aspects of management of facial palsy with special emphasis on static technique of reanimation is discussed. Static facial reanimation is easy to perform and also it can be addressed to all the facial zones. Salient features of all the variety of static reanimation like fascial sling, brow correction, eye lid weight placement are described.

Abstract:

Background: This article summarizes information presented at the Wound Healing Subspecialty Symposium of the Annual Conference of the Canadian Dermatology Association held in Ottawa in June 2012. Objective: To provide continuing medical education on wound healing for dermatologists. Methods: A review of the pertinent literature was performed by the author in order to prepare the lecture and subsequent article. Results: The review found that necrotizing faciitis, hypertensive ulceration, antiphospholipid syndrome and α1-antitrypsin syndrome are entities that contribute to catastrophic wounds seen in wound healing clinics and in private offices. Conclusion: It is most important to have a high index of suspicion for these four conditions because early diagnosis can be life-***saving with necrotizing faciitis, pain-relieving in ulcers caused by hypertension, and antiphospholipid syndrome, and can result in early treatment in α1-antitrypsin deficiency.

Dass der Text dennoch vom Krieg, von Naturkatastrophen und Verkehrsunfällen erzählt, scheint dem Unterhaltungswert der Katastrophe geschuldet zu sein.Julius von Voß’s utopian novel Ini: Ein Roman aus dem ein und zwanzigsten Jahrhundert (1810) depicts a future European state that is marked by immense technical progress. In this state, national and individual security are highly important and every effort is made to prevent catastrophic events. However, in order to entertain his readers, Voß uses his novel to explore great catastrophes such as the horrors of war, natural desaster, and traffic accidents.

Etendant le questionnement à la réception des pièces du corpus, il inscrit les motifs mentionnés dans des dispositifs de perception qui contribuent à renverser les caractéristiques sémiotiques traditionnelles de la relation théâtrale et à dessiner un nouveau facteur d’unité esthétique au sein de ces « petits drames » beckettiens, par-delà les différences génériques.

Abstract:

Ziel des vorliegenden Aufsatzes ist es, den Roman „Blackout“ von Marc Elsberg vor dem Hintergrund der gegenwärtigen, von der amerikanischen Massenkultur stark geprägten Katastrophennarrationen zu diskutieren. Im Gegensatz zu vielen Katastrophengeschichten unserer Zeit, die wenig plausible, unrealistische oder gar absurde Bedrohungsszenarien zeichnen, entwirft Elsberg das absolut realistische Szenario eines großflächigen und langfristigen Stromausfalls und seiner Folgen für die Menschheit. Zwar spielt seine Prosa durchaus mit zeittypischen gesellschaftlichen Ängsten, gleichwohl soll sie, so zumindest die deklarierte Absicht des Autors, auch für einen bewussten Umgang mit neuen Technologien sensibilisieren. Nicht von ungefähr stützen sich seine Texte auf intensive wissenschaftliche Recherche. Vor dieser Folie lässt sich Elsbergs Prosa auch als eine Art „Warnungsliteratur“ lesen und deuten.Between entertainment and “science”: On catastrophic narrative in Marc Elsberg’s novel BlackoutThe aim of this paper is to discuss Marc Elsberg‘s novel Blackout against the background of contemporary catastrophic narratives, strongly shaped by American mass culture. Contrary to numerous stories of catastrophes and dystopian visions of our time that tend to present unconvincing, unrealistic or even absurd threats, Elsberg presents a completely realistic scenario of a long term and extensive blackout, as well as its consequences for humanity. While his prose builds on contemporary fears, at least in the author’s declaration, however, it seems to aim at increasing social awareness of the conscious use of new technologies. His book is based on intense desk research and incorporates scientific evidence. Against this background, Elsberg’s novel could be read and interpreted as “literature of warning”.

Abstract:

Catastrophic Asia began as an experimental initiative of the Center for Asian Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. Culminating in a spring 2014 symposium where three of the four papers presented here and earlier versions of the two commentaries were delivered, the project sought to bring together a diversity of perspectives on Asian experiences of and vulnerability to disasters. We sought to collect an unlikely group of scholars whose work is not typically discussed in a single forum. They included natural and physical scientists, anthropologists, geographers, and scholars of literature. The project sought to discover what common epistemological ground might be found when such diverse approaches are brought to bear on catastrophic events, as well as the risks of catastrophe, in a particular area of the world.

Abstract:

Purpose Islands have long been discussed as refuges from global catastrophes; this paper will evaluate them systematically, discussing both the positives and negatives of islands as refuges. There are examples of isolated human communities surviving for thousands of years on places like Easter Island. Islands could provide protection against many low-level risks, notably including bio-risks. However, they are vulnerable to tsunamis, bird-transmitted diseases and other risks. This paper aims to explore how to use the advantages of islands for survival during global catastrophes. Design/methodology/approach Preliminary horizon scanning based on the application of the research principles established in the previous global catastrophic literature. Findings The large number of islands on Earth, and their diverse conditions, increase the chance that one of them will provide protection from a catastrophe. Additionally, this protection could be increased if an island was used as a base for a nuclear submarine refuge combined with underground bunkers and/or extremely long-term data storage. The requirements for survival on islands, their vulnerabilities and ways to mitigate and adapt to risks are explored. Several existing islands, suitable for the survival of different types of risk, timing and budgets, are examined. Islands suitable for different types of refuges and other island-like options that could also provide protection are also discussed. Originality/value The possible use of islands as refuges from social collapse and existential risks has not been previously examined systematically. This paper contributes to the expanding research on survival scenarios.

Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS) is a life-threatening condition characterized by multiple thromboembolic events occurring in a short period of time, frequently accompanied by significant systemic inflammation. Aortic involvement is rare in antiphospholipid syndrome and it had been never described in the context of its catastrophic variant. Here, we report an unusual case of aortic occlusion as a debut manifestation of CAPS and discuss its clinical features with an up-to-date review of the literature to identify risk factors and clues for clinical practice.

Abstract:

An easy to apply multi-criteria technique is the Matrixes Of Weighing (MOW), but many of the professionals that use it, in their respective fields, do it in intuitive fashion. In this regard, applications are rarely reported in specialized literature, which explains how few references exist about them. One of the application areas for MOW is the handling of catastrophes, in particular the pre-catastrophe and post-catastrophe phases where a series of problems are usually handled which solution leads to a choice, which could be done by using multi-criteria techniques.The objective of this investigation is to present the MOW with multiplicative factors, and showing their application in the pre-catastrophe phase, when choosing possible shelters and in the post-catastrophe phase, by aiding to hierarchies which infrastructures to be recovered after a catastrophe.

Abstract:

Abstract How can we feel safe in a world riven by conflict and in the grip of “the crazy”? What emotional strategies are available to make unbearable realities bearable? Should we side with liveliness and engagement over despair and resignation? The books under review converge on these questions. Sally Weintrobe focuses on responses to the ongoing climate emergency, offering a bracing indictment of neoliberalism’s failures in fomenting it and making a case for the role understanding the psyche—split between caring and uncaring parts—can play in countering it. Arguing that all of us harbor desires for omnipotence and entitled dominion over nature and over others, Weintrobe calls on us to mobilize the caring parts of our selves to counter indifference and resignation. Heather Murray focuses on the twentieth century’s shifting emotional regimes, using the asylum and its records to chart the displacement of passivity and resignation as culturally virtuous modes of engagement by a valorization of activity, intensity, and struggle. Yet, she asks, should we not pause to consider resignation as a sensible psychic strategy offering refuge from the clamors of a world out of control? Is opting out a viable strategy for survival or a fantasy doomed to fail?

Клинические проявления катастрофического антифосфолипидного синдрома многообразны, что затрудняет своевременную диагностику и соответственно адекватное лечение. Цель: устранить трудности, возникающие у практических врачей при постановке диагноза, дифференциальной диагностике и лечении катастрофического антифосфолипидного синдрома, основываясь на анализе данных литературы и на примере клинического случая. Материалы и методы: исследований по данной проблеме в отечественных источниках мы не встретили, что привело к необходимости остановиться на литературных данных и клиническом примере. Результаты: на основании анамнеза заболевания, результатов клинического и дополнительных методов исследования пациента, установлен диагноз катастрофического антифосфолипидного синдрома. Выводы: для ранней диагностики катастрофического антифосфолипидного синдрома необходима настороженность при возникновении признаков ДВС-синдрома и быстро развивающейся полиорганной недостаточности. Clinical manifestations of the catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome are diverse, which complicates timely diagnosis and, accordingly, adequate treatment. Goal: eliminate the difficulties encountered by practitioners in the diagnosis, differential diagnosis and treatment of catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome, based on the analysis of literature data and on the example of a clinical case. Materials and methods: we did not find any studies on this issue in domestic sources, which led to the need to focus on literature data and a clinical example. Results: on the basis of the anamnesis of the disease, the results of clinical and additional research methods of the patient, a diagnosis of catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome was established. Conclusions: for early diagnosis of catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome, alertness is required when signs of disseminated intravascular coagulation and rapidly developing multiple organ failure occur.

This paper arises from a study of those involved the governance of risks from emerging technologies, examining the perceptions of global catastrophic risk within the relevant global policymaking community. Those who took part were either civil servants working for the UK government, U.S. Congress, the United Nations, and the European Commission, or cognate members of civil society groups and the private sector. Analysis of interviews identified four major themes: Scepticism; Realism; Influence; and Governance outside of Government. These themes provide evidence for the value of conceptualising the governance of global catastrophic risk as a unified challenge. Furthermore, they highlight the range of agents involved in governance of emerging technology and give reason to value reforms carried out sub-nationally.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: This article bridges the gap between theory and practice and elaborates, for practitioners, how to convert the COVID-19 and other similar crises into opportunities for keeping their business on track for growth. It shows how movement to virtual modes of working, especially virtual teams, can help practitioners meet the current crisis effectively and also prepare for future crisis efficiently. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this article is to show how the concept of virtuality can help design practices which enable managers/practitioners in effectively managing necessary transitions to virtual work. METHODS: The article reviews and integrates essential literature on virtuality and virtual teams. It enumerates the benefits and challenges which accompany a sudden and necessary movement to virtual work in teams. Also used are the recently developed theoretical frameworks of teams as essential emergent states and its implications on virtual work. RESULTS: By distilling insights from past literature, the article advises managers on how to deal with the present and prepare for future disruptions. Usage of overarching frameworks rather than industry/work specific literature enables managers to move away from specific recommendations and focus on general characteristics for wider impact. CONCLUSIONS: The article demonstrates how organizations can meet disruptive challenges successfully and also prepare for future challenges sustainably using virtuality as a starting point.

Abstract:

Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome is a rare disorder that remains under-recognized causing a high mortality rate even with treatment. Factors such as infections and systemic lupus erythematosus flare play as an inciting event in the thrombotic crisis which underlies catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome. The use of plasmapheresis has improved the outcome of such cases with a reduction in mortality rate from over 50% to less than 30%, according to some studies. However, the definitive treatment of this disabling and fatal condition remains an area warranting research. Case 1. A case of 32-year-old female with a background of epilepsy and recurrent abortions who presented with difficulty in breathing, dry cough, and bilateral lower limb swelling. The patient initially received treatment with cyclophosphamide and systemic corticosteroids after being diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus. She also underwent plasmapheresis for suspected pulmonary hemorrhage as her condition deteriorated rapidly requiring intensive care. The diagnosis was revised as catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome given the typical multi-organ involvement, namely, cerebritis, Libman–Sacks endocarditis, and nephritis apart from the pulmonary involvement. Eventually, hydroxychloroquine was added to the regimen which led to a remarkable improvement in her condition after a few days. Case 2. A case of 28-year-old female with history of recurrent abortions presented with abdominal pain and was admitted as a case of pancreatitis. The patient received intravenous fluids and analgesics with no significant improvement. Later, she developed multi-organ failure requiring critical care. Given her history and clinical presentation along with the multi-organ involvement in an acute setting, she underwent extensive workup that favored catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome and she was started on Aspirin initially, and then, hydroxychloroquine was administered. Few days after initiation, her condition improved markedly and with complete resolution of her abdominal symptoms. Hydroxychloroquine’s antithrombotic effect in synergy with other therapies has been observed in our cases. Yet, its role in the early course of catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome merits further investigation.

Abstract:

Abstract This essay explores the problem of what I call “elsewhere catastrophe”: a conviction that catastrophe always occurs outside the US nation, traditionally to the south and the east, or happens to racialized bodies that themselves constitute a kind of beyond. At the same time, American literary history reminds us that the vast knowledge traditions developed by those who faced and still face the structures of ongoing settler colonialism and slavery may provide the best available answers, the strongest critical traction, for facing this century. The project of American literary catastrophism derives in part from a body of theory that Caribbean intellectual history has been developing and refining since the first invasion of the archipelago—and the practice of American literary catastrophism must embrace the many traditions that tell stories, create verse, and generate knowledge about how to live in the midst of world-ending. Through brief readings of Tommy Orange, Herman Melville, and N. K. Jemisin, I propose American literary catastrophism as the project of assembling a broad literary tradition of the hemisphere required of our times. The project of American literary catastrophism . . . is both historicist and deliberately presentist; it moves between both modes . . . attending to an ongoing catastrophe that always recedes, eventually, from dominant public view and memory.

Abstract:

The pandemic of the new SARS-CoV2, that started at the beginning of 2020, caused a catastrophic increase in morbidity and mortality in early 2020 and posed a number of challenges for healthcare system. Primarily, this concerns the study of the effect on different organs and systems, that new virus can exhibit. This knowledge further can serve as a key to the development of effective methods for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 associated pathological conditions. The objectives of this review include the analysis of neurological complications caused by the new coronavirus infection and the determination of the possible mechanisms of the virus’s effect on the human nervous system.

Abstract:

Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a catastrophic complication of gastric bypass. Bleeding can occur during the early or late phase after the operation. Though bleeding after gastric bypass is infrequent, late bleeding is exceedingly rare. We present two patients with late bleeding following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). The first patient, a 65-year-old woman, presented with life-threatening upper GI bleeding almost 5 years after laparoscopic RYGB. The second patient, a 62-year-old woman, presented with upper GI bleeding after almost 14 years following RYGB. Both, due to an eroding marginal ulcer. We discuss here the management of a rare and catastrophic complication of late GI bleeding and review the various reports in the literature describing the late bleeding as a complication of gastric bypass. Late GI bleeding after RYGB presents a diagnostic and interventional challenge. High index of suspicion and adequate management strategies may lessen morbidity and mortality.

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to overview the presence of catastrophes in game worlds and, in particular, to investigate what they can tell us about real catastrophes. To this end, we present a semiotic typol-ogy of catastrophes, confronting them with epistrophes and apostrophes and further articulating them relative and absolute cessation events. Then we highlight the long-standing relationship between playfulness and disasters in literature, cinema and video games underlining how the suppos-edly opposite characteristics of the two are, in fact, a very productive cultural trope. To conclude, we look into some examples of catastrophes in game worlds, both relative (such as the “corrupted blood incident” in World of Warcraft) and absolute (the end of the worlds in StarWars Galaxies and Matrix Online).

Abstract:

Air embolism is an infrequent but potentially catastrophic complication. It could be a complication of invasive procedures including surgery, central line placement, positive pressure ventilation, trauma, hemodialysis, pacemaker placement, cardiac ablation, and decompression sickness. Usually, it does not cause any hemodynamic complication. In rare cases, it could lodge in the heart and cause cardiac arrest. We present a case of an 82-year-old white female who underwent computed tomography (CT) guided biopsy of right lung pulmonary nodule. When she was turned over after the lung biopsy, she became unresponsive and developed cardiopulmonary arrest. She underwent successful resuscitation and ultimately was intubated. CT chest was performed immediately after resuscitation which showed frothy air dense material in the left atrium and one of the right pulmonary veins suggesting a Broncho venous fistula with air embolism. Although very rare, air embolism could be catastrophic resulting in cardiac arrest. Supportive care including mechanical ventilation, vasopressors, volume resuscitation, and supplemental oxygen is the initial management. Patients with cardiac, neurological, or respiratory complications benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Abstract:

Aim/purpose – Disasters or catastrophic events create unforeseen circumstances and require new approaches from local and national administrations in addressing the nega- tive impacts on society and the economy. Determining the role of e-government in providing the kind of services that are especially needed has become particularly rele- vant during COVID-19. This paper aims to assess the progress and current state of research on the role of e-government during or in the aftermath of catastrophic events. The purpose of this research is twofold: one, to benefit scholars by providing directions and a basis for further research, and two, to offer guidance to decision-makers involved with disaster management. Design/methodology/approach – The methodology used in this study is a systematic literature review. Multiple databases, including EBSCO, Elsevier, Emerald, JSTOR, Google Scholar, SAGE, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Springer, Taylor and Francis, and Wiley Online Library were searched for appropriate papers. In total, 36 papers published between 2004 and 2022 met our inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Findings – The study produced three types of findings. First, an analysis of the themes and trends in the existing literature. Second, a synopsis of the published research find- ings in the reviewed papers. And third, a description of the needs and opportunities for further research. Research implications/limitations – This study should help other researchers in direct- ing their efforts in further exploration, and it should help people involved with real-life disaster management to navigate through the effective role and application of e-government. The main limitation is that we found only 36 research papers that met our inclusion criteria. Originality/value/contribution – Despite the potentially critical role that e-government may have in mitigating the negative effects of catastrophic events, research on e-government in disaster management seems to be still underdeveloped, and to our knowledge, there is no published systematic review of such research.

Abstract:

Catastrophism is a variable of great importance in the study of pain. Catastrophism refers to a negative and exaggerated compared to the experience of pain, both real and anticipated mental perception (Sullivan, Bishop and Pivik, 1995; Sullivan et al., 2001). The current study to compare the levels of catastrophism in patients with and without fibromialgia. This study is cross-cutting and comparative. Twenty participants (M: 47.20; SD: 12.11) distributed as the following way:– group 1: patients with fibromyalgia previously diagnosed through the American College of Rheumatology criteria (n = 10);– group 2: Clinical depression, defined according to the DSM-5 (n = 5);– group 3: healthy patients (n = 5) paired by age with the group of Fibromyalgia.The PCS, a self-administered, was used to measure Catastrophism. Responses were summed to yield three different subscales: Rumination, Magnification and Helplessness. This instrument is validated in both experimental and clinical population (Van Damme, Crombez, Bijttebier, Gouber and Van Houdenhove, 2002; Edwards et al., 2006). A comparison among the three groups was established using one-way factor ANOVA. The results point out that patients with fibromyalgia have higher levels of magnification controls with depression and healthy group (P < 0.05). In contrast, although the average level of Catastrophism total presented a greater tendency in fibromyalgia patients no statistically significant differences were found. This is discussed in relation to the literature, a higher level of magnification to explain pain and maintaining the chronicity of the disease. It is important to consider the component catastrophism to have a multidimensional view of pain.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract:

Abstract In the last few decades, something has changed about how Americans conceive of privacy, which has had consequences for how writers address their publics: how writers write. This essay argues that rapidly evolving and expanding surveillance regimes have profoundly affected our sense of where the private life begins and ends and what can or cannot be concealed from others. Discourses characterized by fragmentation, opacity, and indirection have become both a means by which we communicate information about ourselves to the larger world and a mimetic representation of how that surveillance-mediated world often appears to us. Literature has played a crucial role in these transformations and has served as a laboratory for many of these emerging discourses. This essay focuses on two recent and contrasting cohorts of American writers: a slightly older group of authors who saw the sacrifice of individual privacy as having catastrophic implications for liberal democracy, and a younger group whose views of privacy and communication were, on the whole, less panicked and more tactical. The essay concludes by considering what happens when rhetorical modes meant primarily to preserve the private self reenter the public sphere and assert themselves within a civil-minded conversation.

Abstract:

The rapid increase in the global population has led to the emergence of large crowds during public events across various domains such as sports, music festivals, religious gatherings, and political campaigns. If these events are not properly organized and controlled, they have the potential to result in disasters. Tragically, stampedes occur every year, causing fatalities, disappearances, and injuries for many individuals. Therefore, crowd identification, monitoring, and control are problems that will be addressed and discussed in this paper in order to lessen casualties and prevent such catastrophes. The objective of this study is to present a thorough review of technologies and methods relevant to crowd management, planning, behaviour analysis, and counting. Furthermore, it aids researchers' future progress by examining recent technology developments in the field of crowd planning and monitoring.

Abstract:

The purpose of the publication is to identify the distinctive features of the behaviour of the merger and acquisition market in the banking sector during two catastrophic events that took place between2020 and 2023. The study includes a literature review, an analysis of previous studies on crises and their impact on the merger and acquisition market, specifically in the banking sector (desk research),as well as an analysis of selected case studies. The article poses the following research question: “Does the merger and acquisition market in the banking sector exhibit specific characteristics during andafter catastrophic events?” In order to answer this question, literature, existing research and statistical data on transactions from 2020–2022 are reviewed. Additionally, two case studies from the Europeanand US markets are analysed. The research provides an affirmative response to the research question, and the conclusions confirming the specificity of the merger and acquisition market in the bankingsector are presented in the article’s summary. The author also recommends further in-depth research on the specifics of the market for corporate control during and after catastrophic events going beyond qualitative analysis.
