Faith in the Marketplace: Christian Legal Narratives and the Refusal to Serve Gay Customers
ABSTRACT In June 2023, the US Supreme Court in 303 Creative v. Elenis held that an anti‐discrimination statute could not force a Christian business owner to provide certain business services to gay people. The decision has created a slew of legal and social uncertainties, which require a deeper investigation of the contemporary conflict between the gay

The main goal of studying double couple sources in seismology is to obtain a complete description of the physics of the source. In other words, it is to describe the force system equivalent to physical mechanism in earthquake focus. Seismic moment tensor

Brokerage, bridewealth and benefits on a resource frontier in Papua New Guinea
Abstract In this paper, we examine tensions over intermarriage and resource sharing between two groups on a Papua New Guinean resource frontier. These tensions are mediated by a ‘brokerage fix’ led by Febi clan heads responding to financial demands from their Pangia neighbours and sometime affines.

A seismic study of the Krafla volcanic system, Iceland [PDF]
Following a major crustal rifting episode centred on the Krafla volcanic system in Northeast Iceland, the local seismicity was monitored for three months using a dense network of single component seismometers.

Abstract Recent efforts to secure development by Febi and Kubo people in Papua New Guinea's Western Province reveal a patterned history of failing brokers, incomplete projects and wasted money. Within this longer trajectory, three overlapping waves of brokerage can be discerned, each emerging in response to the limitations of its predecessors.

War, Trauma and Diasporic Identity in Vyvyane Loh's Breaking the Tongue
ABSTRACT Japan's involvement in the Second World War offers provocative narrative material for authors who write about the cultural politics of race under wartime conditions, such as the internment experience of Japanese Americans in the United States and the mass killings of Chinese (Operation Sook Ching), suspected of anti‐Japanese sentiments in ...

Building a Continental‐Scale Geodetic Network: The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO)
Abstract The Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO) transformed the use of geodesy in North America to study crustal deformation and plate boundary processes by establishing a continental‐scale, standardized, open‐access geodetic network. Built and operated by UNAVCO between 2003 and 2018 as part of the National Science Foundation (NSF)‐funded EarthScope ...

ABSTRACT European disaster risk management has converged on a shared resilience vocabulary faster than on a shared account of who is expected to produce resilience. This article codes 2218 passages from 38 strategic documents in 25 EU member states along two dimensions: resilience type (engineering, ecological, transformative) and governance ...

Modern confined masonry (CM) construction consists of masonry walls confined by reinforced concrete (RC) tie‐columns and tie‐beams. When built correctly, CM buildings have shown good performance in earthquake's shaking. Even though CM construction has been practised for almost a century in some Latin American countries, its use and standardisation are ...
