Immigration, politics and violence in urban France: between fiction and facts by Recchia, Francesca

“…Semi-fictional accounts of immigrants’ life in the banlieues are a privileged source of information about the social distress that nurtured the explosion of urban violence. Reading between the lines of these representations helps grasping what happens underneath the surface of an overexposed situation of inequality that periodically morphs into violence. …”

The immigrants by Kollectiv, Galia, Kollectiv, Pil

“…In the first four films, through a series of small actions undertaken by costumed performers in different locations across the UK, an installation of filmed vignettes posits the futility of the border as a means of demarcating boundaries of identity, power and resources in an age of global capital flows, migrant labour forces, and environmental destruction that does not stop at abstract lines on a map. Masks drawn from sources as diverse as Romanian folklore and riot police spit masks, combined with props suggesting checkpoints and rafts, invert the hierarchies of border guards and asylum seekers, refugees in boats and Brexit flotillas. …”

Circularly polarised array antenna with cascade feed network for broadband application in C-band by Karamzadeh, Saeid, Kartal, Mesut, Virdee, Bal Singh, Rafii, Vahid, Ucan, O. N.

“…The array consists of 2 × 2 CPSSA elements and is fed by a novel feeding network consisting of the circuit stripline couplers and delay lines. The proposed feeding technique is applied to the 2 × 2 antenna array to increase the axial ratio (AR) bandwidth. …”

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.…”

Architecture, sinon repression: a journey through the narrow layer where the State meets the land by Oropallo, Gabriele

“…Striation is the result of the intervention of man who, while colonising a territory, drew lines on it like on a wax tablet. This intervention progressively created homogeneity and facilitated movement through the territory. …”

Deconstructing institutional racism and the social construction of whiteness: a strategy for professional competence training in culture and migration mental health by Lazaridou, Felicia, Fernando, Suman

“…As institutional theory perspectives continue to develop, solutions to complex social problems such as racism require embodied knowledge if the lines of authority and basic occupational routines are to be meaningfully renegotiated. …”

Selective and non-selective excitation/ionization processes in analytical glow discharges: excitation of the ionic spectra in argon/helium mixed plasmas by Mushtaq, Sohail, Steers, Edward B. M., Pickering, Juliet C., Putyera, Karol

“…The presence of added gases in the plasma gas can cause major changes in the number density of plasma gas ions and metastable atoms and so affects the intensities of spectral lines involving selective and non-selective excitation & ionization processes. …”

Array antenna for synthetic aperture radar operating in X and Ku-Bands: a study to enhance isolation between radiation elements by Alibakhshikenari, Mohammad, Virdee, Bal Singh, See, Chan, Abd-Alhameed, Raed, Falcone, Francisco, Limiti, Ernesto

“…The isolation wall comprises three intercoupled U-shaped microstrip transmission-lines. With this technique the antenna’s bandwidth for VSWR<1.5 is greater than 2 GHz inside the X- and Ku-bands.…”

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.…”

Wideband microstrip quasi-elliptic function bandpass filter with high out-of-band rejection by Virdee, Bal Singh, Riaz, Muhammad, Shukla, Pancham, Onadim, Muhittin, Ouazzane, Karim

“…The design comprises stub-loaded halfwavelength resonators that are electromagnetically coupled to resonant structures that are interdigitally coupled to the input and output feed-lines. Perturbation introduced by the presence of the stub causes the resonators to act as a multimode device. …”

Joining the dots: day to day challenges for practitioners in delivering integrated dementia care by Chase, Mike, Lloyd, Christopher E. M., Peters, Benjamin J., Chase, Elaine, Lee, Kellyn

“…In order to more successfully realise integrated dementia pathways, we propose innovative commissioning frameworks which purposefully seek to diffuse power imbalances, encourage inter-provider respect and understanding, and determine clear lines of responsibility.

The production and consumption of hospitality space by Lugosi, Peter

“…Drawing on an extended ethnographic case study, and a series of illustrative cases, the thesis develops four lines of inquiry: First, because commercial venues are characterised by fragmentary occupation, the study examines the basis for association and disassociation among hosts and guests through the notion of proximity. …”
