This article revisits the Aceh Chinese experience during the 2004 tsunami and their lives in Aceh, shaped by the region’s distinct legal and political context. Drawing on ethnographic research, it follows the life of an Aceh Chinese woman born in a small town south of Banda Aceh, highlighting the tragedy she and her community endured during the Tsunami. Through her memories, the article takes read

Nationalism has a potent influence on historical memory – and this can skew in unexpected directions.

Traditionally, traffic safety is expressed through the number of accidents (crashes) or people injured, since these are the most direct manifestations of an unsafe traffic environment. As we discuss in this chapter, such an approach has its limitations due to the low frequency of accidents and some other issues. Neither is it unusual that accident data is not available, not reliable or lacks impor

Recent years has seen a number of music researchers taking interest in the concept of affordances. Although interpretation of the concept varies, a common denominator is that affordances are opportunities for actions emerging between a subject and the environment. As such, it is an analytical perspective that highlights material and embodied dynamics of musical practice, dimensions central to musi

Introduction: In Italy the course to become a general practitioner (GP) lasts 3 years and includes both theoretical and practical study. Different from the theoretical part, until recently the practical activity has not been assessed at all. The Emilia Romagna Regional Health Authority has developed a special program called INFORMEG (Management of Tutoring during the Triennial Specific Training in

In this afterword, Marie Cronqvist, Fredrik Mohammadi Norén, and Emil Stjernholm tie together the chapters in Media Tactics in the Long Twentieth Century and summarise some of the book's key themes. Three key knowledge contributions are highlighted. First, the volume foregrounds tactics as a study object in itself, not just the effects or outcomes of strategic thinking. Second, the book counters t

In this paper, we study rational Collet–Eckmann maps for which the Julia set is not the whole sphere and for which the critical points are recurrent at a slow rate. In families where the orders of the critical points are fixed, we prove that such maps are Lebesgue density points of hyperbolic maps. In particular, if all critical points are simple, these maps are Lebesgue density points of hyperbol

Catalonia, like the rest of Spain, is a homeownership society. The most recent official statistics (2011) state that 74 per cent of the population are homeowners, 20 per cent are tenants and 2 per cent live in social housing. Related to tenure status, the state of housing in Catalonia – the second wealthiest autonomous community in Spain – has undergone noteworthy shifts in the first decades of th
