Unravelling Cascading Phenomena in Sociotechnical Systems: A Systematic Review and Modelling Framework

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article investigates the characterization of cascading phenomena within sociotechnical systems through a systematic review and the development of a conceptual modelling framework. Cascading phenomena, often described using terms such as ripple effect, domino effect, cascading failure, risk propagation and cascading effect, capture the far‐

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.

Landslide susceptibility assessment on a large scale in the Podsljeme area, City of Zagreb (Croatia)

, 2023
The study presents a landslide susceptibility assessment on a large scale in the City of Zagreb (Croatia). The susceptibility analysis was performed using the Weight of Evidence model in the pilot area (21 km2) and applying the obtained weight values for

Indigenous‐Led Adaptation to Complex Climate Risks in New Ireland, Papua New Guinea

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pacific Island peoples have long histories of adapting to environmental changes, but recent climate change is now driving complex risks that unfold within rapidly shifting societal and environmental contexts. This study investigates how remote Indigenous communities in New Ireland, Papua New Guinea, experience and want to respond to complex ...

Remarks on the Role of Landslide Inventories in the Statistical Methods Used for the Landslide Susceptibility Assessment

, 2017
In this work, the role of different landslide inventories in susceptibility assessment was evaluated using a non linear regression technique, namely the generalized additive model (GAM).The investigation was carried out in three study areas: the Versa ...

Modelling Patterns of Past Inundation Processes Combining Geoarchaeology and Morphometric Hydrological Analysis in the Shashe‐Limpopo Basin, South Africa

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riverine and valley systems across the globe have been central to the development of past urban centres. By AD 900, the Shashe and Limpopo Rivers seem to have facilitated the interaction and integration of early farming communities in southern Africa. This paper focuses on the application of geoarchaeological perspectives made available by the

Effects of Landslide Sampling Strategies on the Prediction Skill of Landslide Susceptibility Modelings

Journal of the Indian Society of Remote Sensing, 2018
In this study, landslide susceptibility assessments were achieved using logistic regression, in a 523 km2 area around the Eastern Mediterranean region of Southern Turkey. In reliable landslide susceptibility modeling, among others, an appropriate landslide sampling technique is always essential.

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

Natural disaster risk salience and the strategic appointment of directors with sustainability expertise

Journal of Financial Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines how salient sustainability risks from near‐miss natural disasters influence board composition. Using a difference‐in‐differences design, I find that firms located in counties neighboring disaster‐affected areas significantly increase the presence of directors with sustainability expertise following the disaster.
