Space and place as constraints and resources in women’s strategies to escape domestic violence by Bowstead, Janet

“…This paper will particularly explore three examples of such thinking about women’s spatial strategies: Foucault’s concepts of the spatiality of surveillance are used in understanding space as a constraint and appreciating what women are overcoming when they leave abusive relationships; Deleuze and Guattari’s concepts of rhizomic networks and lines of flight are used in understanding space as a resource on the journeys themselves; and Augé’s concepts of nonplaces are used in understanding space as place, and recognising what needs to be counteracted to create new homes and a sense of belonging.…”

Mathematics learning and teaching : a student’s perspective by Ansari, Tasnuva

“…Then we use mathematics in our everyday lives, sometimes without even realizing. In these situations, what we needed to learn - the ‘basic numerical concepts’ - was nothing but a way of expressing ourselves (in a language), in order to communicate with and relate to others. …”

Situated perspectives on the city: a reflection on scaling participation through design by De Carli, Beatrice, Apsan Frediani, Alexandre

“…Reflecting on this experience, we argue that the inclusion of a design-based, city-level perspective in localized upgrading initiatives can be a powerful conceptual and practical tool to support horizontal, vertical and deep scaling; and we highlight the importance of constructing this design tool in an embodied and situated manner, so that scaling processes remain firmly grounded in everyday lives and experiences.…”

Czy Bóg to Gadzio? Religijność i konwersje polskich Romów w perspektywie elastycznych epistemologii romskości by Garapich, Michał P.

“…Through pioneering ethnographic work among transnational Roma communities, the article takes a critical approach to contemporary analysis of religious lives of Roma in Polish scholarship. Following the relational approach of Frederik Barth, Michael Stewart and participatory ethnography of Paloma Gay y Blasco, the article proposes an ethnographically grounded interpretation of new forms of religiosity among Polish Roma emphasizing individual agency, creativity and the so called by Marco Solimene and Stefanii Pontrandolfo flexible epistemologies, through which we can better grasp overall social changes in Poland. …”

Metamaterial based ultra-wideband antennas for portable wireless applications by Alibakhshikenari, Mohammad, Naser-Moghadasi, Mohammad, Sadeghzadeh, Ramazan Ali, Virdee, Bal Singh, Limiti, Ernesto

“…Various approaches have been reported to reduce the physical size of RF antennas including using high permittivity substrates, shorting pins, reactive components, and more recently, metamaterials (MTM) based on composite right-/left-handed transmission-lines (CRLH-TLs). MTM exhibit unique electromagnetic response that cannot be found in the nature. …”

Mathematical and computational modelling for the design of pipe bends and compliant systems by Bishop, Steven Richard

“…In particular predictions are sought of any incipient jumps to resonance of the systems which might lead to potentially dangerous loads in the mooring lines or excessive displacements. Throughout the dynamics work stable steady state paths are closely followed and monitored so that any resulting bifurcation, including the possibility of chaotic behaviour, can be analysed with a view to its subsequent prediction.…”
