Isbaaro: Checkpoints and World Making beyond the State in Somalia

Development and Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the dynamics of checkpoint authority in Somalia, focusing on how kinship, mobility and checkpoint practices intersect to shape political and social orders. Challenging the notion that checkpoint governance is either an expression of state‐like power or indicative of the state's absence, the authors argue that Somali ...

A Modified Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization Based on Levy Flight and Double-Archive Mechanism

IEEE Access, 2019
In the past few decades, multi-objective particle swarm optimization (PSO) has increasingly attracted attention from scientists. To obtain a set of more accurate and well-distributed solutions, many variations of multi-objective PSO algorithms have been ...

Radio-wave propagation in the non-Gaussian interstellar medium

, 2005
Radio waves propagating from distant pulsars in the interstellar medium (ISM), are refracted by electron density inhomogeneities, so that the intensity of observed pulses fluctuates with time.

A series of (un)fortunate events: Commercial bank interest rates and deposit reallocation during the Great Depression in the Netherlands

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract During the global economic crisis of 1929–33, deposits in the Dutch commercial banking sector sharply declined as funds shifted to the government‐guaranteed Post Office Savings Bank and other savings institutions. Unlike earlier studies for neighbouring countries, we demonstrate that this shift was driven less by a flight to safety and more by

Beyond Exceptional and Ordinary: Analysing the Effects of Emergency Frames on EU Renewable Energy Policy‐Making

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract This study aims to provide a better understanding of how policy‐making changes when an issue is framed as an emergency. Literature on emergency politics provides different views on policy‐making changes resulting from emergency frames, where ordinary and exceptional policy‐making overlap in different ways.

Exploring the interplay between small and large scales movements in a neotropical small mammal

Movement Ecology
We record and analyze the movement patterns of the marsupial Didelphis aurita at different temporal scales. Animals trajectories are collected at a daily scale by using spool-and-line techniques and, with the help of radio-tracking devices, animals ...

Historical case study of a transfer experiment that demonstrated the importance of the estuarine ecosystem for the survival of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) at the Campbell River estuary, British Columbia, Canada

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Estuary dependence to the survival of Chinook salmon was investigated at the Campbell River estuary, British Columbia, Canada. Replicate batches of marked smolts were transferred from a hatchery and released in 1983, 1984 and 1985 at four ecosystems, two that ensured estuarine experience (river, estuary) and two seawards of the estuary ...
