“…In this section, we evaluate changes in the Coulomb Failure Function, ΔCFF, during the May 20-29 sequence in both the LAY and the HOM cases. The ΔCFF is defined in the following equation, compatible with the convention of positive stress for extension: 5where Δτ and Δσ n are the shear and normal stress changes calculated for a specific receiver fault geometry, and μ′ is the effective frictional coefficient (μ′ = μ(1 − B) = 0.4, μ = 0.8, B = 0.5 according to Harris (1998) and references therein, with μ frictional coefficient and B the Skempton's coefficient).…”

The 2012 Emilia Romagna (Italy) seismic sequence has been extensively studied given the occurrence of two mainshocks, both temporally and spatially close to each other. The recent literature accounts for several fault models, obtained with different inversion methods and different datasets. Several authors investigated the possibility that the second event was triggered by the first mainshock with elusive results. In this work, we consider all the available InSAR and GPS datasets and two planar fault geometries, which are based on both seismological and geological constraints. We account for a layered, elastic half-space hosting the dislocation and compare the slip distribution resulting from the inversion and the related changes in Coulomb Failure Function (CFF) obtained with both a homogeneous and layered half-space. Finally, we focus on the interaction between the two main events, discriminating the contributions of coseismic and early postseismic slip of the mainshock on the generation of the second event and discuss the spatio-temporal distribution of the seismic sequence. When accounting for both InSAR and GPS geodetic data we are able to reproduce a detailed coseismic slip distribution for the two mainshocks that is in accordance with the overall aftershock seismicity distribution. Furthermore, we see that an elastic medium with depth dependent rigidity better accounts for the lack of the shallow seismicity, amplifying, with respect to the homogeneous case, the mechanical interaction of the two mainshocks.

Accountability and control in a cat's cradle

Purpose -To examine control and accountability in an expressive organisation. Design/methodology/approach -The paper was based upon a longitudinal case study of events in the Church of England from 1994 to 2001 and was based on documents, debates in the governing body, conversations and interviews and participants' observation. Findings -As a response to a financial crisis a group of financiers from within the Evangelical theological tradition (which places stress on headship and control) proposed the creation of a new church governance body (a national council) with strongly integrated central control and severely diminished conciliar participation. This group described the complex church organisations and structures (disparagingly) as "a cats cradle of autonomous and semi autonomous organizations". This conflicted with the values of the other covenant traditions (Anglo-Catholic and Liberal). The new body was created, but the proposed centralised control was unraveled, the existing constitution and governance was maintained, the "cats cradle" was enriched within the ground metaphor of autonomy. The case shows how the loosely coupled nature of this expressive institution with its multiple theological (value and belief) stances and multiple organisations, relationships and accountabilities was almost impervious to the attempt to shift them into an ordered and controlled hierarchy.Research limitations/implications -The great complexity of an ancient Church constrains the researcher to a limited account. Practical implications -Change in expressive organisations happens by emergent negotiation and cannot be directed because the various value positions infuse everything. Originality/value -The conception of control and accountability as being constructed and reconstructed in the interplay of the constructs of covenant, constitution and contract. This theorising may have a wider application both to expressive, public institutions and private organisations.

“…Nevertheless, in a major step to understanding the conditions within which volunteers operate, Harris (1998aHarris ( , 1998b identified five propositions as to normative requirements within such associations. In that each proposition gives rise to circumstances necessitating some form of moderation and compromise by participants, these have particular implications for accountability, both internally and externally, personally and collectively.…”
