For the Few, Not the Many: Tracing the Residualist and Compensatory Nature of British Energy Support
Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Drawing on extensive documentary analysis, this article traces the evolution of British energy policy support since World War II. It analyses shifts in policy design through two interpretive lenses: eligibility (residualist vs. universalist) and function (compensatory vs. preventive).

Microzonation of the seismic vulnerability index by using the horizontal to vertical spectral ratio in Boyolali, Central Java [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2019 Research on the potential for seismic vulnerability has been carried out in the Boyolali, Central Java. The purpose of this study was to determine the microzonation of the seismic susceptibility index by using the HVSR method (Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio). The study was conducted by using a set of Portable Digital Seismograph TDS-303S (YGI-I).

The EU's Strategy for Sustainability: A Landmark Turn With the European Green Deal?
European Policy Analysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT While the European Green Deal (EGD) has been widely recognized as a milestone in the EU's sustainability strategy, scholars disagree on the nature of the policy change it represents. Critics highlight its limited social and environmental ambitions, despite its portrayal as a “man on the moon” moment.

Quantifying Model Selection Uncertainty in Structural Analysis: Methodology and Application
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT With increasing focus on complex engineering systems under rare events, computational models are critical for predictions due to the scarcity or absence of data. However, selecting an appropriate model can be challenging. Using a single model without available test calibration could result in significant bias in performance predictions. A case
