Ethnic Minority Representation After the 2024 General Election: Does Ethnicity No Longer Matter?

The Political Quarterly, Volume 96, Issue 1, Page 127-133, January/March 2025.
Abstract With a new record of ethnic minority MPs elected in 2024, Westminster is nearly fully representative of voters of ethnic minority origins. This outcome was not entirely dependent on Labour's landslide, with pre‐election analyses showing that diversity of MPs would have improved with all possible election results.

Where water meets rock: Ecological niches and diversity hotspots of hygropetric beetles in the Neotropics

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
First continental‐scale synthesis of hygropetric beetle diversity and distribution across Neotropical highlands. Climatic and topographic gradients structure regional assemblages and niche overlap. Ecological convergence suggests adaptation to similar conditions across disjunct regions.

Do Banks Learn From Natural Disasters? Evidence From the U.S. Financial Sector

European Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines whether U.S. banks learn from natural disasters. We explore several potential channels of adjustment and find that exposed banks primarily respond by adopting precautionary capital measures. This behaviour is evident both in the long run, when assessing divergent trends in the evolution of equity over time, and in the short

Ensemble learning landslide susceptibility assessment with optimized non-landslide samples selection

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk
Non-landslide samples influence the outcomes of landslide susceptibility assessment. Existing studies did not fully consider the equilibrium between landslide and non-landslide samples in similar environments, resulting in poor reliability of landslide ...

Landslide Susceptibility Prediction System

Abstract The research presents an innovative landslide susceptibility prediction system that harnesses the power of machine learning and a data-driven approach. This system relies on a robust dataset encompassing five crucial parameters: slope, elevation, precipitation, soil type, and rainfall.

Investors’ Natural Disaster Experience and Cost of Raising Equity Capital: Evidence From Seasoned Equity Offering Pricing

Journal of Business Finance &Accounting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigate whether and how investors’ experiences of natural disasters affect the cost of raising new equity in a setting of seasoned equity offerings (SEOs). Our proprietary database contains comprehensive information on geographical distribution, investor profiles, investor office location, and bidding specifics related to SEOs.

Soil erosion in the Alps : causes and risk assessment [PDF]

, 2010
The issue of soil erosion in the Alps has long been neglected due to the low economic value of the agricultural land. However, soil stability is a key parameter which affects ecosystem services like slope stability, water budgets (drinking water ...
