Negotiating contested spaces and places: Narratives of social suffering and resistance in racialized Cape Town communities

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study employs a schizocartographic approach to explore community narratives of space, memory, and violence in Kraaifontein, Cape Town. Through participants' accounts, ordinary places—gardens, shops, blocks, sports grounds, and streets—emerge as ambivalent geographies where trauma, resilience, and belonging intersect.

How Media Represent Australian Indigenous Business: Comparing Australian and International Coverage

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Media representations of Indigenous business shape public perceptions, investor confidence and consumer demand, influencing how Indigenous enterprises are valued and understood. This Indigenous‐led study systematically reviews grey literature on Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses published between 2006 and 2024 ...

Human decision-making in crowds in a virtual flood scenario [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
Flood evacuation outcomes are critically shaped by human behaviour, yet empirical data on individual decision-making remain scarce due to the dangers and logistical challenges of collecting data during real natural hazards.

Optimized Route for Crowd Evacuation

open access: yes, 2016
An evacuation plan helps people move away from an area or a building. To achieve a fast evacuation, we present an algorithm to compute the optimal route for each local region.

Game Theoretic Spatial Evacuation Simulation Models To Predict Crowd Disaster [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Crowd dynamics play an important role in evacuation management systems relevant to organizing safer large scale gatherings. Planning crowd control tasks via evacuation simulation of the movement and behaviours of crowd during egress could mitigate the ...

A crowd route choice evacuation model in large indoor building spaces

open access: yesFrontiers of Architectural Research, 2018
Route choice is a fundamental requirement in the evacuation process. The aim of this paper is to identify a method to simulate crowds in large indoor spaces with consideration of the acoustic system.

An extended car following approach using agent based model on evacuation system of micro traffic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We proposed an extended car-following approach on evacuation system of micro traffic. It is based on the agent model. Parameter which is owned by the agent is the velocity.

Dicarboxymethyl Cellulose‐Based Mixed‐Matrix Membrane Adsorbers: Preparation, Characterization, and Protein Retention Performance

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Dicarboxymethyl cellulose is incorporated, for the first time, into a polyethersulfone membrane. The functional membranes are prepared using dimethyl isosorbide through combined non‐solvent and vapor‐induced phase separation. The resulting membranes exhibit porous structures and protein‐retention potential, highlighting the potential of this cellulose ...

Comparative Performance of Poly(Vinyl Alcohol)/Chitosan Hydrogels Reinforced With Kraft Lignin and Kraft Lignin Nanoparticles

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
The use of kraft lignin and kraft lignin nanoparticles in poly(vinyl alcohol)/chitosan hydrogels was comprehensively compared. The results showed that a higher loading of lignin nanoparticles than bulk kraft lignin could be incorporated while maintaining favorable hydrogel properties, leading to improved overall performance. ABSTRACT The development of
