The article also includes a multilevel analysis (macro, meso, micro) of the connections between care and migration.

The results show that after the COVID-19 crisis, an “assemblage of spatial and social (in)mobilities” was generated for the immigrant population. They highlight the social blockages that the immigrant population had to face: legal, residential, occupational, and care, and also how informal arrangements to solve these immobilities are led by women.

Using high-resolution data from Copernicus Urban Atlas initiative, the approach evaluates the actual rank-size distribution of 20 distinct land-use categories within metropolitan Athens, Greece. As a novel contribution to regional science, three model specifications were tested on the individual land parcel: (i) a baseline model verifying the rank-size relationship for each land-use class, (ii) an extended model incorporating a fractal index to capture landscape complexity, and (iii) a model adding the distance from downtown Athens to verify the mono-centric assumption <em>à la</em> Von Thünen. Empirical findings reveal significant variations in Zipf’s applicability across different land-use classes, highlighting the influence of spatial convolution and metropolitan gradient on the rank-size distribution. The spatially explicit Multi-scale Geographically Weighted Regression (MGWR) method outperforms the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) approach, confirming the appropriateness of accounting for both spatial distribution and local heterogeneity of land parcels when testing the rank-size relationship. Results indicate that, while certain land-use classes exhibit patterns closely aligned with Zipf's law, others demonstrate deviations that reflect varying levels of spatial regularity, underlying economic and/or natural constraints. The study underscores the importance of land-use specificity in spatial planning and suggests policy interventions aimed at sustainable land management when planning the long-term evolution of metropolitan hierarchies. These insights contribute to refining regional development strategies, promoting balanced growth, and preserving land resources in metropolitan areas.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"155 ","pages":"Article 107580"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143892321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scholars argue that resilience is either a form of technocratic expertise to dealing with complex issues through top-down managerial interventions, or that resilience marks a limit to expert knowledge due to complexity thus indicating that planning is futile; both casting resilience as depoliticizing as a result. However, these works do not adequately grapple with the fact that expertise is not only deployed but also demanded to bring about interventions in the wake of climate change, and the unsettled and unsettling nature of expert knowledge and its production. In this paper, I address the issue of expertise in the making of resilience with special attention to its role in the opening up of political possibilities through facilitating rather than short-circuiting debate and contestation about resilience. Specifically, I look at the practice of Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) in coastal resiliency projects in New York City, showing how this expert practice is used to articulate – and debate – the substantiation of resilience in specific geographical contexts. I argue that CBA gives resilience a practical reality in infrastructural interventions by framing a whole set of quintessentially political questions around scope and valuation, and that CBA is best understood as organizing resilience politics. The search for resilience can be an exercise in democracy – and a politicization of ways of living revolving around the potentiality of future environments – if instead of viewing expertise and ‘the technical’ as something to be minimized we understand it as a site of problematization.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12497,"journal":{"name":"Geoforum","volume":"162 ","pages":"Article 104290"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143890600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 80 Italian women (aged 18–28) with varying drinking profiles were selected to participate in focus group interviews. The interviews were subjected to a thematic analysis in accordance with the social process of stigma as delineated by Link and Phelan (2001). The findings revealed the pervasiveness of gendered social expectations regarding alcohol consumption, which are deeply embedded in broader societal relations between men and women. These relations are typified by the presence of double standards, power inequalities, and patriarchal narratives. Those who deviate from the social expectation of moderate drinking are at risk of being described as a deviant subgroup, separated from the mainstream, labeled using derogatory terms, objectified, and stereotyped as sexually promiscuous, unintelligent, and unfeminine. In conclusion, their moral character is called into question, and they face social disapproval and exclusion. Furthermore, they are more readily held responsible for experiencing sexual violence when drunk (status loss/discrimination). The findings can inform the development of stigma-informed alcohol prevention interventions and policies in countries that share similar collective gender expectations about alcohol use.</p>","PeriodicalId":48425,"journal":{"name":"Sex Roles","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143889668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, we focus on the effect of hierarchical structure, task specialization patterns, and geographical organization on the probability of tie formation by estimating dyadic regressions. We find: First, if both agents in a dyad are bosses, two effects of opposite sign are at work: a scale effect, that increases the probability, and a homophily effect, that decreases such probability. Second, organizational task homophily positively affects tie formation, while criminal task homophily does not. Third, the key geographical variable driving tie formation is joint membership to the same <em>mandamento</em>, which makes sheer geographical distance non-statistically significant. We corroborate our results with several robustness tests and discuss their implications for an understanding of criminal organizations, such as the Cosa Nostra.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48353,"journal":{"name":"Social Networks","volume":"82 ","pages":"Pages 213-228"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143891921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite operating within the broader US economic system, Slab City residents have developed alternative forms of exchange, using cigarettes and cannabis alongside US dollars. The article examines the symbolic meanings associated with these alternative currencies, arguing that their value derives from symbolic gestures of trust and solidarity, reflecting a rejection of surplus value extraction and an embrace of shared economic experience. The analysis dives into Slab City's moral economy, highlighting the community's reliance on collective action for resource provisioning, such as weekly rituals of free meals, communal water tanks, and group efforts in resource acquisition and distribution. Contrasting Slab City's internal economic practices with the exploitative practices of the investor–state nexus in surrounding towns, the article underscores the community's commitment to mutual aid and challenges to capitalist norms.
