Mental fitness refers to the intentional practices and skills that help the mind function at its best. It's a proactive approach, more like physical training than physical health monitoring. Where mental health is a state of being, mental fitness is the deliberate strengthening of the mind. Mental fitness involves developing qualities such as resilience, focus, adaptability, emotional regulation, and cognitive flexibility. It's not about eliminating difficult emotions or striving for constant positivity. It equips people with the capacity to navigate challenges more effectively, recover from stress, and maintain clarity during pressure. Crucially, mental fitness is not the absence of mental illness. Someone managing depression, anxiety, or another condition can still practise mental fitness and benefit from it. 2, record 1, English, - mental%20fitness

La forme mentale désigne l'état de bien-être psychologique dans lequel un individu possède un esprit vif, des émotions équilibrées et une approche adaptative des défis. Elle s'apparente à la forme physique, mais se concentre sur la force cognitive et émotionnelle plutôt que sur la puissance musculaire. Alors que la santé mentale concerne des troubles tels que la dépression ou l'anxiété, la forme mentale consiste à cultiver des attributs tels que la concentration, la clarté, la créativité, la résilience et l'équilibre émotionnel. L'adoption d'une bonne forme mentale permet non seulement de combattre les symptômes d'une mauvaise santé mentale, mais aussi d'améliorer nos expériences quotidiennes, en nous rendant plus aptes à gérer les facteurs de stress, à nouer des relations fructueuses et à savourer les plaisirs de la vie. 3, record 1, French, - forme%20mentale

Smart concrete, also known as "intelligent concrete, "is a new type of construction material that goes beyond traditional concrete. It integrates technology into the mix, allowing it to perform functions like self-healing, temperature regulation, and even structural monitoring. This is possible due to the addition of materials like fibers, sensors, and nanomaterials that help the concrete respond to external conditions. 2, record 2, English, - smart%20concrete

Since 1991 the North Sea countries (UK, Netherlands, Norway and Denmark) have put a lot of effort in the development of a decision support system for the legislation of the use and discharge of offshore exploration, drilling and production chemicals. The heart of this so-called harmonised mandatory control system is the chemical hazard assessment and risk management (CHARM) model. 5, record 4, English, - harmonized%20mandatory%20control%20system

One of the most proactive areas in environmental regulation is the North East Atlantic--primarily Norway and the European Union. Within this region, the Oslo-Paris Commission(OSPARCOM) was inaugurated in 1992 and ratified in 1998. The OSPARCOM mainly focuses on protection of the marine aquatic environment.... To help evaluate chemicals for offshore use, the Harmonized Offshore Chemical Notification Format(HOCNF) was introduced in 1995.... In 2001, the Harmonized Mandatory Control System(HMCS) was implemented primarily to maintain at least a baseline of rigor for the move to more environmentally responsible chemicals. 2, record 4, English, - harmonized%20mandatory%20control%20system

By November 2001, the OSPAR Decision on the Harmonised Mandatory Control Scheme (HMCS) should have been in force and operating for nearly a year. The objective of the HMCS is to protect the marine environment by identifying those chemicals used in offshore oil and gas operations with the potential for causing an adverse environmental impact and restricting their use and discharge to the sea. 4, record 4, English, - harmonized%20mandatory%20control%20system
