Between reconciliation and peace making and brutalization: The Israeli case
Abstract This article examines the relationship between peacemaking, reconciliation, and brutalization in violent conflicts. It argues that these processes are deeply interconnected: effective peacemaking and reconciliation can interrupt or reverse brutalization, whereas unsuccessful or incomplete peacemaking may allow brutalization to persist, deepen,

Abstract Hydrothermal sealing is a mechanism thought to be responsible for challenging‐to‐forecast phreatic and phreatomagmatic eruptions. To better understand this process, we present a study in which we assessed the textural, mineralogical, and physical properties (porosity, permeability, and tensile strength) of blocks of hydrothermal seal that were
