Representations of Resilience in the Conceptual Field of Psychology by I.S. Bulanova, A.M. Dvoinin, V.K. Dvoinina

“…The vector of development of modern ideas about resilience in psychology is aimed at moving away from understanding it as a quality and characteristic of personality towards identifying the dynamic, procedural nature of this phenomenon; from the paradigm of one–sided linear influence of the environment on a person — towards an integral “Environment — Person” system; from a one-dimensional understanding of resilience — towards the idea of a complex level and the systemic nature of its structure.…”

Tuning the Morphological Properties of Granular Hydrogels to Control Lymphatic Capillary Formation by Daniel Montes, Sanjoy Saha, Angela Taglione, Donghyun Paul Jeong, Liao Chen, Fei Fan, Hsueh‐Chia Chang, Donny Hanjaya‐Putra

“…V180s samples showed earlier vessel formation as seen in lymphatic gene and protein expression, while pipetted gels exhibited greater capillary connectivity, forming larger vessel clusters and fewer small satellite structures. The pipetting gels also supported lower‐curvature, more linear capillary networks that bridged multiple droplets, likely due to reduced entrapment in large voids compared to vortexed gels. …”
