Privilege Versus Right: Vigilantism Against Israel's Palestinian Citizens
Sociology Lens, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article addresses three core questions: What is the social origin of vigilantism? How do vigilantes justify extra‐legal violence and intimidation? What are vigilantism's long‐term effects? The analysis focuses on a period in which Israel's Palestinian‐Arab citizens increased their access to legal rights, social mobility, spatial ...

Petrography and mineral chemistry of Northeast Africa 053—A remnant of Martian crystal mush
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract In Earth's igneous systems, crystal mushes, crystal‐rich frameworks permeated by silicate melt, represent a common and fundamental stage in the evolution of magma bodies. However, whether crystal mushes occur within Martian igneous systems and play a comparable role is unknown. Here, we present a comprehensive petrography and mineral chemistry

Changes in Northern Hemisphere extra-tropical cyclone frequency following volcanic eruptions
Environmental Research: ClimateExplosive volcanic eruptions are well known to influence Earth’s temperature. Changes in Earth’s temperature can affect temperature gradients which in turn could affect the isentropic slope and hence Northern Hemisphere high and mid-latitude weather. Yet,

Microspherules Formed by Lightning Strikes
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Natural microspherules are formed by high‐temperature processes and are present throughout the geologic record to the present day. We report the discovery of large numbers of microspherules recovered from a rock pavement in the Pilbara region, Western Australia.

Searching for safety: Working conditions and policing in a US emergency department
Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract In the United States, emergency departments aren't supposed to turn anyone away. They are the safety‐net of the safety‐net providing life‐saving care. Yet, what happens to healthcare when conditions are so strained that patients and staff lash out at each other? What happens when the safety net becomes a carceral net?
