The effect of goal frame and risk perception on digital flood prevention tool acceptability.

Introduction: To cope with catastrophic floods, people need to be better prepared. In this context, a self-assessment digital tool for habitat vulnerability was developed. To improve its take-up rate, we are looking at the motivations associated with the social acceptability of this tool.

The influence of environmental crisis perception and trait anxiety on the level of eco-worry and climate anxiety.

Eco-anxiety, which refers to the anxiety experienced in response to worsening environmental conditions, is a growing global phenomenon. Climate change anxiety, due to the escalating impact of ongoing climate change, stands out as the most commonly recognized form of eco-anxiety. Nevertheless, numerous uncertainties persist regarding the relationship of this eco-anxiety response to pro-environmental behaviors, as well as its connection with trait anxiety and the perception of the environmental crisis.

Perception of readiness to manage COVID-19 among hospital workers: An individual, collective, and institutional process.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had adverse effects worldwide and has overwhelmed the health systems of many countries. Yet, to manage sanitary crises as COVID-19 pandemic, skills, commitment, and motivation of hospital workers are essential. However, most research on the preparedness of hospital workers for sani-tary crises shows a mismatch between their level of preparedness, their perceived preparedness, and the estimated needs to manage these situations.

Continuous degradation of micropollutants in real world treated wastewaters by photooxidation in dynamic conditions.

Wastewater is a major issue for the ecosystem because of its considerable quantities, the treatment methods adopted in the large majority of WWTPs, and its level of contamination by various types of pollutants, especially emerging ones. One of the solutions considered to reduce this pressure on water is the reuse of wastewater after treatment for watering green areas, road cleaning, industry, groundwater recharge but also for crop irrigation. This paper proposes to study the capabilities of a photoreactor for the removal of micropollutants contained in wastewater from wastewater treatment plants.

Do Hospital Workers Feel They Are Ready to Manage a Sanitary Crisis in a Pre-Crisis Context?

Objective: The aim of this study was to measure the perception of readiness to manage a sanitary crisis for hospital workers and to study the factors related to this perception.

Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study; 408 French hospital workers responded to an online questionnaire. The variables studied concerned the perceived personal preparedness, the perception of colleagues' and hospital's preparedness, perception of the situation, and preparatory behavioral acts.

Evaluation of Knowledge and Risk Perception about Antibiotic Resistance in Biology and Mathematics Young Students in Nîmes University in France.

In response to the antimicrobial resistance issue, the World Health Organization developed and conducted a survey in 2015 dealing with habits, antibiotic use, awareness of appropriate use and sensitization to the issue of antibacterial resistance. In France, we conducted a similar survey to investigate the use of antibiotics and students' perceptions of the antibiotic resistance risk. Our results indicated that antibiotics are moderately taken (42% in the last six months), but mistakes remain in appropriate practices and knowledge.

Social, Occupational, and Cultural Adaptation During a 12-Month Wintering in Antarctica.

Background And Methods: Life in isolated and confined environments (ICEs) is subject to important constraints which can generate psychosociologically impaired outcomes. This study investigated psychological, social, occupational, and cultural variables which are among the most important determinants in adaptation to a one-year wintering in Antarctica for 13 international subjects.

Results: Our findings confirm and give further insight into the role of social (Cohesiveness, Social Support) and occupational (Implementation/Preparedness, Counterproductive Activity, Decision Latitude, and Psychological Job Demands) dimensions of adaptation to ICEs.
