This paper reviews recent studies that take a physically-based approach to better assess and manage hurricane risk. Such a methodology includes three components: modeling the storm climatology (which defines TC risk in terms of the upper tail of the storm statistics); modeling landfalling hazards; and characterizing damage and losses. not rely on the limited historical TC data but generates lar...

This paper reports some (video-recorded) instances of ‘visual culture’ in action, namely the use of a new software tool designed for the visualization of scenes from Shakespeare’s Macbeth in a classroom context. By considering whether or how far conversation analysis (CA) can be extended from natural conversation to cases of collaborative work in front of a computer, the paper addresses the met...

We welcome the comments from Emanuel et al. [1]. In a systematic review, Pfirrmann’s method [2] was endorsed as a valid and reliable ‘gold-standard’ for assessing intervertebral disc degeneration [3]. Nevertheless, the Pfirrmann system uses qualitative descriptors such as ‘disc height normal to slightly decreased’. This descriptor is highly subjective with confounding influences of gender, age ...

This paper considers the application of a micro-analytic approach to critically explore how Muslim women’s Sister’s Circle (SC), based at British university, interactionally resists discourses Islamophobia and othering through humour. I reflect on navigated methodological tensions during my PhD, specifically around context in Conversation Analysis (CA; Schegloff, 1997), benefits synthesising CA...
