Understanding urban resilience with the urban systems abstraction hierarchy (Usah)
The paper discusses how the Urban System Abstraction Hierarchy (USAH) can be used as an informative hazard-agnostic tool to understand interdependencies between shocks which impact tangible parts of the city system, and longer-term stressors which impact intangible outcomes of the city system. To create resilient cities, we must grapple with such complex interdependencies. Effective solutions that foster resilience require acknowledging the inter…

Irony and Metapoetics in Theocritus’ Idyll 18
Although scholarship has identified multiple ironic elements throughout Theocritus’ Idyll 18, his epithalamium for Helen, this paper offers a new perspective on Theocritus’ ambiguity, his allusive puns, and his ironic comparisons that masquerade as generic hymeneal topoi.

Coordination during multi‐agency emergency response: Issues and solutions
Purpose Coordination between military and civilian agencies has previously been found to be a significant issue that affects the efficiency of multi‐agency system responses to large‐scale emergencies. The purpose of this article is to present the findings derived from a case study focussing on the problems that abound when the military attempts to work with civilian organisations. Design/methodology/approach An integrated framework of human facto…
