New Reasons for Forced Displacement: A Multimodal Discourse Analysis of the Construction of Refugee Identity

Journalism Practice, 2021
With the intensification of human processes across the globe, the arrival of the Anthropocene has brought with it significant changes to the human-nature relationship and even greater challenges to particularly vulnerable populations like refugees ...

Effects of a community resilience intervention program on victims of forced displacement: A case study.

Journal of Community Psychology, 2021
This article describes the effects of an intervention program that uses community resilience and the psychological, social, and subjective well-being of victims of forced displacement as a reference framework. Following a multiple instrumental case study

The Gender Dimensions of Forced Displacement: Findings from New Empirical Analysis

, 2021
To date, research and analysis of the gendered dimensions of forced displacement have been limited. This Quarterly Digest highlights findings from a new, major World Bank Research Program which has sought to fill this important gap.

SDP and forced displacement

2018
The global attention on refugees and internally displaced persons is reflected in the SDP sector’s variegated attempts to engage and support this target population through its programs. This chapter critically examines contemporary SDP programs and research in this area.

Interface Instability under Forced Displacements

Annales Henri Poincaré, 2006
By applying linear response theory and the Onsager principle, the power (per unit area) needed to make a planar interface move with velocity V is found to be equal to V2/ μ, μ a mobility coefficient. To verify such a law, we study a one dimensional model where the interface is the stationary solution of a non local evolution equation, called an ...

New force-displacement metrology for keyboards

Computer Standards & Interfaces, 1997
The ergonomic design of computer keyboards has been a popular topic of research during the past decade. Much work has focused on assessing design attributes of keyboards that affect their subjective “feel” during typing tasks. One common measure used for this purpose has been the force-displacement function, which characterizes the force required to ...

Measured forces and displacements of integrated force arrays

SPIE Proceedings, 1995
IFAs are MEMS actuators which are powered by the electrostatic forces between the plates of many microscopic deformable capacitors arranged in monolithic arrays. IFAs are fabricated using standard techniques of VLSI electronics. The IFAs reported here resemble thin, flexible plastic membranes 10 mm long and either 1 or 3 mm wide, which contain from 75 ...

Realizability of Force and Displacement Systems

Journal of the Structural Division, 1978
Motivated by optimization problems in which it is sometimes convenient to neglect constitutive equations and work with force systems that only satisfy equilibrium, the additional constraints imposed by the use of constitutive equations are considered in this paper.

A force platform for large human displacements

Medical Engineering & Physics, 2001
This paper provides details of a force platform assembly suitable for measuring the magnitude, position and direction of ground reaction forces for manual handling tasks involving several footsteps in any horizontal direction. An approach to increase the natural frequency with the use of a vibration absorber is used; this frequency was found to be 41+/-
