Shared Identity, Shared Experience, Social Mobilisation: A Social Identity Approach to Collective Action Among War‐Affected People

European Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crises have the potential to transform social identities and foster collective action, yet little is known about how new identities emerge and how a sense of shared experience (SSE) sustains mobilisation beyond immediate group contexts. The present research investigated these processes among 495 displaced Ukrainians with 107 participants ...

Right Diaphragmatic Rupture Post Earthquake

SAS Journal of Surgery
Traumatic rupture of the right diaphragmatic dome with herniation of the liver into the thorax is a rare lesion. It is often integrated into the context of multiple trauma, of which it is a criterion of severity. It exposes you, early or late, to cardiopulmonary complications due to compression.

A Multivariate Mixed‐Effects Regression Framework for Ground Motion Modeling: Integrating Parametric and Machine Learning Approaches

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multivariate ground motion models (GMMs) that capture the correlation between different intensity measures (IMs) are essential for seismic risk assessment. Conventional GMMs are often developed using a two‐stage approach, where separate univariate models with predefined functional forms are fitted first, and correlation is addressed in a ...
