Use of the Safety Factor and Margin of Safety in Motorcyclist Accident Risk Management

International Journal of Technology, 2018
Deceleration rate, time to collision and impact speed have been commonly employed as accident risk indicators. However, it is hard to assess the level of accident risk since these indicators have not been developed with measurable score criteria.

Keeping their powder dry: Purity, pollution, and handgun ownership among Jewish women in Israel

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the gendered practices through which Jewish women in Israel experience and negotiate personal handgun ownership in everyday life. Drawing on interviews, participant observation in gun‐related spaces, and analysis of women‐only online forums, we explore the expanding participation of Jewish women in civilian gun ownership,

Aftasten/Tantear: A sensorial, coalitional wayfinding among Muslim runners

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract Muslim recreational runners in Muslim‐minority settings that take up running as their preferred form of leisure indicate that they feel they have to navigate a sense of exclusion when running outdoors. This article explores the process of exploration and sensing in public, represented by the Dutch verb aftasten, to investigate the way Muslim ...

Quiet activism as feminist practice

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, we discuss how women combat silencing in the face of violence and increased political turmoil through quiet activism in their day‐to‐day lives. Centering lengthy conversations with Arab women across London and notes from an ongoing collaboration with a feminist activist based in the US, we examine how wearable rhetorical ...

Dignity's Dilemma: Categorical Objections to Autonomous Weapons and Their Pacifist Entailments

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dignity objections to autonomous weapon systems are prominent in contemporary military ethics, yet their theoretical foundations remain underexamined. This article reconstructs those foundations, showing what categorical dignity objections require to function as absolute prohibitions.

Taking Jobs and Doing Harm

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In popular discourse and in the philosophical literature there is almost no reflection on the morality of doing harm in the context of doing one's job. To the contrary, workers are valorised simply for having a job, and typically individual workers are spared from blame, even when they cause significant harm as part of their job.

Dynamics of Size and Shape Variation During Embryonic Development in the Balkan Crested Newt

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Morphological variance in Triturus ivanbureschi embryos fluctuates during the tailbud phase, coinciding with developmental arrest caused by the balanced lethal system. Prehatching embryos show uniform variance. Our study reveals dynamics of morphological variability during early development and provides a baseline for further studies.

Dynamic Performance Enhancement of a High‐Agility Hypersonic Mechanical System via a Learning‐Augmented Robust Control Architecture

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The design of control systems for high‐agility mechanical systems operating in extreme environments is a significant challenge in nonlinear dynamics. This paper addresses the complex dynamic control problem of a hypersonic interceptor, modeled as a multi‐input multi‐output (MIMO) mechanical system characterized by strong aerodynamic cross ...

Assessing the Impact of Roadside and Median Safety Barriers on Available Sight Distance on Croatian Motorways

Infrastructures
Available sight distance (ASD) on motorways represents the unobstructed line of sight from the driver’s perspective to an obstacle on the carriageway, which must equal or exceed the required stopping sight distance (SSD).
