Accelerating and enhancing the generation of socioeconomic data to inform forced displacement policy and response

open access: yesData & Policy, 2023
There are now an estimated 114 million forcibly displaced people worldwide, some 88% of whom are in low- and middle-income countries. For governments and international organizations to design effective policies and responses, they require comparable and ...

Assessing the Environmental Suitability for Transhumance in Support of Conflict Prevention in the Sahel

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Increasing conflicts between farmers and pastoralists continue to be a major challenge in the Sahel. Political and social factors are in tandem important underlying determinants for conflicts in the region, which are amplified by the variability and ...

Exploring interactions between socioeconomic context and natural hazards on human population displacement

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Climate change is leading to more extreme weather hazards, forcing human populations to be displaced. We employ explainable machine learning techniques to model and understand internal displacement flows and patterns from observational data alone.

Housing, Land and Property in Conflict and Displacement Settings

open access: yesDeusto Journal of Human Rights, 2017
La vivienda y el suelo son las primeras cosas que las personas desplazadas pierden cuando son obligadas a abandonar sus lugares de origen. Una vez recuperada la paz y asentada la seguridad en el país las PDI, a menudo, tienen dificultades para recuperar ...

Asymptotic behavior of Structures made of Plates [PDF]

open access: yesAnalysis and Applications 3, 4 (2005) 325-356, 2011
The aim of this work is to study the asymptotic behavior of a structure made of plates of thickness $2\delta$ when $\delta\to 0$. This study is carried on within the frame of linear elasticity by using the unfolding method. It is based on several decompositions of the structure displacements and on the passing to the limit in fixed domains.

Universal Displacements in Inextensible Fiber-Reinforced Linear Elastic Solids [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
For a given class of materials, universal displacements are those displacements that can be maintained for any member of the class by applying only boundary tractions. In this paper we study universal displacements in compressible anisotropic linear elastic solids reinforced by a family of inextensible fibers.

Humanitarianism and Unequal Exchange

open access: yesJournal of World-Systems Research, 2017
This article examines the relationship between humanitarian aid and ecologically unequal exchange in the context of post-disaster reconstruction. I assess the manner in which humanitarian aid became a central part of the reconstruction process in India's

On non-displaceable Lagrangian submanifolds in two-step flag varieties [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
We prove that the two-step flag variety $\mathcal{F}\ell(1,n;n+1)$ carries a non-displaceable and non-monotone Lagrangian Gelfand--Zeitlin fiber diffeomorphic to $S^3 \times T^{2n-4}$ and a continuum family of non-displaceable Lagrangian Gelfand--Zeitlin torus fibers when $n > 2$.
