From Policy Presence to Policy Performance: Adaptive Improvisation and the Everyday Politics of Plastic Burning Bans in Rural Indonesia

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Open burning plastics is a major environmental health hazard in low‐ and middle‐income countries, releasing toxic pollutants and exacerbating climate change. Although Indonesia prohibits plastic burning, enforcement in rural settings remains fragile.

Striving for Significance: Development and Validation of the Desire for Significance Scale

European Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The need for personal significance (i.e., the desire for mattering, meriting respect and ‘being someone’) is a psychogenic need that guides a variety of human behaviours studied across multiple domains of social psychology. Despite its relevance, a validated measure of stable individual differences in the motivation to satisfy the need for ...

Directionality Scaling of Scalar and Vector Ground Motion Intensity Measures

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The azimuthal directionality of earthquake ground‐motion intensity measures (IMs) is conventionally described by the ratios between the orientation‐independent maximum (RotD100) and median (RotD50) values over the horizontal plane. This study presents a refined characterization of the directionality of 31 IMs, including spectral accelerations (

A Parametric Computational Framework for Modeling and Seismic Design of Post‐Tensioned Mass Timber Rocking Walls

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐tensioned cross‐laminated timber (PT‐CLT) rocking walls offer a compelling seismic system combining self‐centering behavior with energy dissipation. However, progress in their performance assessment and design has been limited by the lack of a comprehensive parametric modeling tool, as exists for steel or reinforced concrete systems. This
