"Spatial disorientation is of key relevance to our globalized world, eliciting complex questions about our relationship with technology and the last remaining vestiges of our animal nature. Viewed more broadly, disorientation is a profoundly geographical theme that concerns our relationship with space, places, the body, emotions, and time, as well as being a powerful and frequently recurring metaphor in art, philosophy, and literature.Using multiple perspectives, lenses, methodological tools, and scales, Geographies of Disorientation addresses questions such as: How do we orient ourselves? What are the cognitive and cultural instruments that we use to move through space? Why do we get lost? Two main threads run through the book: getting lost as a practice, explored within a post-phenomenological framework in relation to direct and indirect observation, wayfinding performances, and the various methods and tools used to find our position in space; and disorientation as a metaphor for the contemporary era, used in a broad range of contexts to express the difficulty of finding points of reference in the world we live in.Drawing on a wide range of literature, Geographies of Disorientation is a highly original and intruiging read which will be of interest to scholars of human geography, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, cognitive science, information technology, and the communication sciences."--Provided by publisher."

"Cold formedsteel has relatively high width-to-thickness ratio elements, which causes it tobuckle easily. Combining it with timber laminas would be an effective solutionfor reducing this buckling problem. This research focuses on the connectionsystem of a cold formed steel-timber composite, which was obtainedby attaching several timber laminas to the web part of cold formedsteel using screws. The connection used two bolts that were 8 mm in diameter,as well as two different kinds of side plates: steel and plywood. Cold formedsteel 75Z08 and Swietenia mahagoni(moisture content 12.2%; specific gravity 0.77) were used for connections andwere loaded in parallel and perpendicular directions. In addition, theconnections of cold formed steel (without timber laminas) usingself-drilling screw fasteners were tested until failure. Numerical analysispredicting the load-slip curve and apparent yield load of the composite joints wascarried out using the DOWEL program and the European Yield Theory,respectively. The test results showed that the connection system with steelside plates is capable of accommodating the strength increase of compositemember, as it has a maximum load carrying capacity and initial slip modulus ofabout 4.5 and 2 times larger than those of the cold formed steel connections, respectively. In the caseof a connection system with plywood side plates, its joint properties aresimilar to those of the cold formed steel connection, except that it has largerjoint deformation."

"In the twentieth century, decolonization sparked mass migration movements across the globe as former settlers left newly independent colonies for the former imperial metropole or a new country altogether. In the following decades, postcolonial migrants made new homes and created communities in their hostlands. Eventually, some travelled back to their country of origin, the former colony. Indisch Dutch returns to Indonesia are not uncommon and, although some members of the first generation visited Indonesia as tourists, accounts of (re)turns by the second and third generation are rare. To form a clearer picture of the transnational connections between Indonesia and the Netherlands, it is important to engage with Indisch Dutch travels to Indonesia after independence. By examining life narratives of second and third generation Indisch Dutch, this article investigates the complex relationships between diaspora, memory, nostalgia, and identity, and their impact on transnational relations between the two countries. Specifically, the paper examines accounts by Adriaan van Dis and Lara Nuberg about their journeys of return to Indonesia in the 2000s."
