Loss, Trauma, and Emotion Lab @ Teachers College :: Welcome Welcome to the Loss, Trauma, and Emotion Lab, headed by Professor George A Bonanno. Our offices are housed in the Department of Counseling and Clinical Psychology, Teachers College, Columbia University in New York City. The lab is devoted to the question of how humans cope with loss, potential trauma, and other forms of extreme life events. For the past 20 years, our research has attempted to document the variety of outcomes people show in response to such events as well as the factors that predict these outcomes. We have been especially interested in advancing research and theory about resilience in the face of extreme adversity, and the salutary role played by personality, emotion, and coping and emotional flexibility in moderating how aversive events impact our lives. This site provides information on who we are, our current research projects, our recent research papers and books, news items associated with the lab, and ways to contact us.

UNISDR Introducción a MATLAB Por último, también pueden programarse funciones. La primera instrucción de un fichero que contenga una función de nombre fun debe ser: function [argumentos de salida]=fun(argumentos de entrada) Es conveniente que el fichero que contenga la función se llame como ella; así, la función anterior debería guardarse en el fichero fun.m; por ejemplo, si se desea programar una función que calcule, mediante el algoritmo de Euclides, el máximo común divisor de dos números naturales, basta escribir un fichero euclides.m cuyo contenido sea: function m=euclides(a,b) % Cálculo del máximo común divisor de dos números naturales % mediante el algoritmo de Euclides if a<b c=b; b=a; a=c; end while b>0 c=rem(a,b); a=b; b=c; end m=a; Si, una vez escrito el fichero anterior, en el espacio de trabajo o en un programa se escribe la instrucción mcd=euclides(33,121) en la variable mcd se almacenará el valor 11. Las variables de una función son siempre locales. >>x=15;>>mcd=euclides(x,3);>>xx =15

CNRD | ITT - Institute for Technology and Resources Management in the Tropics and Subtropics Centers for Natural Resources and Development CNRD is connecting universities worldwide promoting academic exchange and cooperation in the area of the management of natural resources, in particular related to Water, Land, Ecosystems and Renewable Energy resources. It fosters interdisciplinary approaches to natural resources management related to the Post 2015 Agenda and the envisioned Sustainability Goals (SDG). Membership to the network CNRD is open for any HEI which offers to significantly contribute to reaching the goals of CNRD. exceed The program “exceed – Higher Education Excellence in Development Cooperation” aims at supporting German HEIs together with their partners in developing countries . By these activities, researchers and institutes are encouraged to continue and expand their commitment in development cooperation. themes of CNRD objectives of CNRD The CNRD will pursue the following objectives:

Home | Marine Ecosystem-Based Management Marine Ecosystem-Based Management seeks to manage marine resources in ways that protect ecosystem health while providing the ecosystem services needed by people. Rather than focusing solely on a single species or resource, MEBM incorporates science and balances the demands of user groups to create management strategies that are more likely to be sustainable than traditional approaches. more >> This site presents case studies covering more than sixty places that are experiementing with an MEBM approach. By drawing lessons from real-world experience, we seek to enable managers, policymakers, scientists, stakeholders and students to learn how to improve the practice of marine resource management. more >> Access our information database in one of two ways:

Generating Correlated Random Numbers This article describes common methods that are used in generating correlated random numbers. 1: Generating *two* sequences of correlated random numbers Generating two sequences of random numbers with a given correlation is done in two simple steps: Generate two sequences of uncorrelated normal distributed random numbers Define a new sequence This new sequence will have a correlation of with the sequence. Before and after correlating 2: Generating multiple (more than two) sequences of correlated random variables A general way to generate correlated (normal distributed) random numbers -with a given correlation matrix - is done by finding a matrix U such that Using this matrix, one can generate correlated random numbers from uncorrelated numbers by multiplying them with this matrix. There are multiple way to find such a matrix. A Cholesky decomposition of the correlation matrixAn Eigenvector decomposition of the correlation matrix (also known as a spectral decomposition) into correlated numbers

Marine Planning: Practical Approaches to Ocean and Coastal Decision-Making Don't overthink it: letting your brain work through trauma with EMDR | WRVO Public Media Post-traumatic stress disorder affects 7.8 million people at some point in their lives. Anyone who has suffered through an accident, war, natural disasters or sexual assault can develop post-traumatic stress. This week on “Take Care,” Dr. Francine Shapiro talks about Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, a kind of therapy used to help victims of trauma. EMDR therapy works on the way memory is stored in the brain. Shapiro says post-traumatic stress is a failure of the information processing system in the brain, which causes a memory to be stored with the original emotions and sensations that occurred at the time of an event. “What EMDR therapy does is prepare the clients in a certain way and then accesses the memory and stimulates the information processing systems so the appropriate connections are able to get made,” Shapiro says. “It’s basically done,” Shapiro says. “They can get help and they can get help very rapidly,” Shapiro says.

"Since 1988 the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) has been maintaining an Emergency Events Database EM-DAT. EM-DAT was created with the initial support of the WHO and the Belgian Government.
The main objective of the database is to serve the purposes of humanitarian action at national and international levels. It is an initiative aimed to rationalise decision making for disaster preparedness, as well as providing an objective base for vulnerability assessment and priority setting.
EM-DAT contains essential core data on the occurrence and effects of over 18,000 mass disasters in the world from 1900 to present. The database is compiled from various sources, including UN agencies, non-governmental organisations, insurance companies, research institutes and press agencies.[/no-glossary]" by macopa Apr 30
