Coping with Traumatic Stress
This article on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) discusses controversies spurred by literature on coping with stress disorders. From the article: "The qualitative literature on coping with trauma is among the most fascinating reading in psychology. Bettelheim's (1943) account of his personal experiences and research in Nazi concentration camps is a prime example. His descriptions of how psychological reactions changed depending upon the phase of the experience, the sources of individual differences in appraisal and coping, and how the use of coping and defense mechanisms contributed to survival in this extreme environment presaged much of the current literature on coping with trauma. In the past decade, researchers have begun to conduct more systematic studies in this area. Kahana, Kahana, and their colleagues (1988) provide an excellent overview of the general field of coping research, especially the distinction between problem- and emotion-focused coping, and how findings from the trauma literature fit into that framework. The purpose of this article is to review some of the more recent developments and controversies in the general coping literature, then address the importance of these for coping with trauma."

Female Military Veterans and Traumatic Stress
This article on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) focuses on traumatic stress among female veterans. From the article: "Despite increasing interest in women in the military, the literature on female veterans and traumatic stress is surprisingly limited. This situation appears partly due to a lack of female veterans' public visibility and a corresponding failure to emphasize the scientific study of women in general. As a result of that climate, the earliest writings on female veterans and traumatic stress are largely personal recollections or clinical descriptions, typically by women who served in Vietnam. Today, as the scientific study of life trauma accelerates, investigators are increasingly conducting more empirical studies of traumatic stress in female veterans and examining in greater detail the spectrum of military stressors that may put women at-risk for problems in readjustment. This article reviews a number of the important papers on female veterans and traumatic stress. As with any newly emerging scientific field, some of the important writings on this topic are found in books and unpublished dissertations (e.g., Salvatore). The review concludes by suggesting some areas for future research."

Mental Health Effects of Natural and Human-made Disasters
"All research reviewed in this issue relates to mental health studies of adult and child survivors of natural and human-made disasters. To avoid overlap with previous issues of the PTSD [Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder] Research Quarterly (Weisæth & Eitinger, Volume 2, Numbers 2 & 3) we have restricted our focus to studies conducted in the United States. We also have excluded studies that focus on emergency workers, and on victims of torture, terrorism, and other interpersonal violence, since we regard these as topics worthy of separate attention in the Quarterly. And while our abstracts are limited to studies published since 1978, we have included a few citations of classic early work in the field of disaster research. Mental health studies of disasters typically have been designed to answer three basic questions: What kinds of mental health problems, if any, result from exposure to disaster? Which groups of people are at highest risk for negative effects? And, what factors modify the impact of exposure to disaster (i.e., why are some people at particularly high risk)? In this review we include abstracts and citations of studies that address one or more of these questions."

Our Changing Planet: The FY 1994 U.S. Global Change Research Program
"In their February 22, 1993 report entitled: 'Technology for America's Economic Growth: A New Direction to Build Economic Strength', President Clinton and Vice President Gore describe a strategy for moving America's investments in science and technology in a '...new direction to build economic strength and spur economic growth.' The U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) is an important element of this strategy. The February 1993 report identifies the importance of investments in research to better understand global warming, ozone depletion, and other phenomena important to local, regional, and global environments. The U.S. Global Change Research Program has been implemented as both a source of sound scientific information to support national and international policy formulation and decisions relating to natural and human-induced changes in the global environment and their regional impacts."

Criminal Acts Against Civil Aviation, 1992
"Civil aviation overall continued to be the object of numerous criminal acts in 1992, but, in those instances where attacks resulted from factors other than personal motivation, the factors tended to be regional, rather than global, in nature. Accordingly, the geographical distribution of incidents varied widely: from a high of 34 in Europe to a low of 4 in North America. Most criminal acts against civil aviation in Asia were the result of internal ethnic or religious confrontations. These included rocket attacks against airports and aircraft by Afghan guerrillas as well as violence against Air India offices in both Bangladesh and Pakistan by Muslims protesting Hindus' destruction of the mosque in Ayodhya, India. For the first year since 1986, there were no projectile attacks against Narita Airport in Japan, the site of attacks and protests since before its construction even began in 1969. Although contractors and politicians associated with the airport continue to be the targets of leftist radicals, Narita Airport has been eclipsed as an issue by the military, the monarchy, and what the leftists term Japanese economic imperialism. The most significant aviation incident in Asia, the hijacking of a Vietnam Airlines aircraft by a former South Vietnamese Air Force pilot living in the U.S., may not bode well for the future as Vietnamese expatriates attempt to frustrate moves by both U.S. companies and the U.S. government to do business with the regime in Hanoi."

Bureau of Indian Affairs Reorganization--Part I, Oversight Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Native American Affairs of the Committee on Natural Resources, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, January 27, 1993
This is the January 27, 1993 hearing on "Bureau of Indian Affairs Reorganization--Part I," held before the U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Native American Affairs of the Committee on Natural Resources. From the opening statement of Bill Richardson: "It is appropriate that the first hearing of this subcommittee be on the reorganization of the BIA [Bureau of Indian Affairs] since it is the oldest bureaucracy in the United States and one of the most maligned by Indian tribes. In the fall of 1990, the BIA proposed its own reorganization plan. At that time, tribal leaders rejected the plan because the BIA had not consulted with them in its formulation. In the Appropriations Act of 1991, a task force to reorganize the BIA was established wherein representatives from the Interior Department and three representatives of each of the 12 BIA Area Office tribes would be represented. This report before the subcommittee today is the culmination of a 2-year effort." Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: Eddie F.

This is March 11, 1993 hearing on "Watershed and Fish Habitat Degradation" held before the Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands of the Committee on Natural Resources, House of Representatives. From the opening statement of Bruce F. Vento: "Today, of course, we're focusing on one important aspect of that in terms of the land management and the impact on the fisheries in the Pacific Northwest. The American people have a spectacular natural resource, the salmon and steelhead runs that extend from the Pacific to central Idaho. Two summers ago I stood on the banks of a small stream in the Chamberlain Basin, in the heart of Idaho's Frank Church River of No Return wilderness and watched a Chinook king salmon, a beat-up fish, that had traveled almost a thousand miles from the ocean to return to it is birthplace to spawn. I felt a sense of awe, as I'm sure most of you would standing in my shoes, witnessing this phenomenon, because this salmon was one of only a few left in a salmon run that some time ago numbered in the thousands. If we were to go back to that same spot this summer we may not see any salmon at all."

Responses to Iben Browning's Prediction of a 1990 New Madrid, Missouri, Earthquake
"On December 3, 1990, residents of New Madrid, Mo., and the central Mississippi Valley region anxiously awaited the outcome of the prediction of a major earthquake by Iben Browning, an independent business consultant from near Albuquerque, N. Mex. [New Mexico] [...] The media hype and public agitation surrounding this prediction were remarkable considering Browning's lack of qualifications in seismology and the denunciation of this prediction by practically all earthquake seismologists. [...] This report documents how this prediction became credible to many members of the media, the emergency preparedness corps, and the general public."

Flood Volumes in the Upper Mississippi River Basin, April 1 Through September 30, 1993
"Previous maximum flows on many streams and rivers were exceeded during the flood of 1993 in the upper Mississippi River Basin. Not only were peak discharges exceeded at many streamflow-gaging stations, but flood volumes were significantly higher than previous maximums. Rainfall amounts that were greater than 50 inches were recorded in parts of Kansas, Missouri, and Iowa from April 1 through September 30, 1993 . As a result of the excess rainfall, 53 of the 60 stations discussed in this report had flow volumes that were greater than twice the mean flow volume for April through September. The Mississippi River at St. Louis, Missouri, remained above flood stage for 144 days from April 1 to September 30, 1993, compared with 81 days during the 1973 flood. Of the 60 stations, 24 recorded new maximum 3-day flood volumes, and 47 recorded new maximum 120-day flood volumes. This indicates that the flooding of 1993 is significant with respect to its long duration and magnitude of flow . The same aspect is indicated in the frequency analysis of the 1993 flood. During the 1993 flood, the 100-year 3-day flows were exceeded at 22 stations, and the 120-day flows were exceeded at 43 stations."

Program for Earthquake Hazards Assessment in the Pacific Northwest
"The Pacific Northwest (including the part of California north of Cape Mendocino, Oregon, Washington, and part of British Columbia) may be capable of producing a great subduction-zone earthquake of magnitude 8-9. [...] Potential losses in the Pacific Northwest, as a result of either a great subduction-zone earthquake or crustal and (or) intraplate earthquakes near population centers, are expected to be large for a number of reasons. [...] Losses due to earthquakes can be reduced by means of effective mitigation measures, but these mitigation measures cannot be implemented without reliable characterization of earthquake hazards."

Effects of Reservoirs on Flood Discharges in the Kansas and the Missouri River Basins, 1993
From the Abstract: "The floods of 1993 were of historic magnitude as water in the Missouri and the Mississippi Rivers reached levels that exceeded many of the previous observed maximums . Although large parts of the flood plains of both rivers upstream from St. Louis, Missouri, were inundated, water levels would have been even higher had it not been for the large volume of runoff retained in flood-control reservoirs . Most of the total floodcontrol storage available upstream from St. Louis is located along the main stem and tributaries of the Missouri River; the largest concentration of reservoirs is located within the Kansas River Basin. The Kansas River Basin accounts for about 10 percent (60,000 square miles) of the drainage area of the Missouri River Basin, and reservoirs control streamflow from 85 percent (50,840 square miles) of the drainage area of the Kansas River Basin. Analyses of flood discharges in the Kansas River indicate that reservoirs reduced flooding along the Kansas and the lower Missouri Rivers. Results of analyses of the 1993 flooding, which include total basin rainfall, peak discharge, and total flood volume on the Kansas River, are compared with analyses of the 1951 flood, which had a similar total volume but a substantially larger peak discharge."

Annual Report to Congress: Department of Energy Activities Relating to the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board: Calendar Year 1992
"This is the third Annual Report to the Congress by the U.S. Department of Energy, hereafter referred to as 'DOE' or 'the Department', on its activities relating to its interactions with the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board (DNFSB). The DNFSB is an independent body within the executive branch established under section 311 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, which reviews design, construction, operations, and decommissioning activities at DOE's defense nuclear facilities. The DNFSB makes Recommendations to the Secretary of Energy, which it considers necessary to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety. The Secretary may either accept or reject, in whole or in part, the Recommendation. If a Recommendation is accepted, the Secretary must prepare a plan describing the necessary actions to implement the Recommendation. This report covers calendar year 1992 Departmental interactions with the DNFSB and provides an updated status to all active DNFSB Recommendations. During 1992, the Department supported over 250 meetings and site visits by the DNFSB and its staff. Each DOE defense nuclear facility has appointed a senior representative to coordinate DNFSB visits, and the Department has published detailed guidance for the field on how to interface with the DNFSB, its staff, and consultants. The Department is cooperating fully with the DNFSB, with the goal of meeting the spirit as well as the letter of the law."

Profile Series Ethiopia: The Status of Amharas Since May 1991
"This profile addresses only the status of Amharas in Ethiopia, including those who were expelled from the territory of Eritrea. This focus was determined not because Amharas are, or are not, at greater risk in Ethiopia than other groups, such as the Oromo and the Afar. Rather, it was chosen because most Ethiopian claims for asylum in the United States are from applicants who describe themselves as Amhara. The term Amhara encompasses not just the Amhara ethnic group, but also a broader category of Ethiopians who speak Amharic and who identify with the concept of a unified, centralized Ethiopian state."

Alert Series: Somalia Things Fall Apart
"The government of President Siad Barre was overthrown in January 1991. Several guerrilla groups that fought against Siad Barre's regime gained control over different parts of the country. In subsequent months, factionalism within these groups, lack of control by these groups over armed forces within their regions, and the emergence of new military and political groups challenging existing spheres of influence have created a situation in which few if any regions of Somalia are free from ethnic and political hostility. As a result of the fighting to overthrow Siad Barre, and the subsequent hostilities, there are an estimated 1.5 million Somali refugees in the Horn of Africa and Kenya. Since the January 1991 coup, the United Somali Congress (USC) has maintained primary control over central Somalia, including the capital, Mogadishu. However, in November 1991, a series of cease-fire agreements between two factions of the USC, one led by USC President General Mahamed Farah Aideed and one by interim Somali President Ali Mahdi Mohammed, degenerated into widespread factional fighting in Mogadishu. Between November 1991 and March 1992 an estimated 14,000 people died in Mogadishu. Even should peace be restored in the capital, fighting between the USC and other ethnic-based military forces throughout southern Somalia may continue to be a problem."

Background Data Measures for Predicting Security Risks: Extensions of Measurement Procedures and Validation Evidence
"The performance of any organization is contingent on the integrity and responsibility of its employees. A leader who makes decisions that diminish long-term growth to get a bonus this year hurts not only people employed by the organization but also future economic growth. Employees who provide competitors or, for that matter, other governments with sensitive information, may cause untold financial damage and the loss of lives and livelihoods. On a more prosaic level, organizations lose billions of dollars every year to employee thefts and bribes. These observations point to a major problem confronting government and industry: How can we ensure employee integrity and control these breaches of responsibility? Any effort to control destructive acts must begin by identifying the kind of differential characteristics that influence the occurrence of these acts. The intent of the present study was, therefore, three-fold. First, we hoped to identify the core characteristics that seem to contribute to a variety of forms of destructive behavior. Second, we wished to develop multiple alternative measures of these characteristics. Third, we hoped to provide some initial evidence indicating how these characteristics manifest themselves in different organizational situations."
