title: Stiff fluid spike solutions from Bianchi type V seed solutions

authors: Gregoris, D.

subjects: Science & Technology

abstract: In this paper we expand upon our previous work Coley et al (2016 Class. Quantum Grav. 33 215010) by using the entire family of Bianchi type V stiff fluid solutions as seed solutions of the Stephani transformation. Among the new exact solutions generated, we observe a number of important physical phenomena. The most interesting phenomenon is exact solutions with intersecting spikes. Other interesting phenomena are solutions with saddle states and a close-to-FL epoch.

title: Defining and deploying the concept of 'precarious employment': Valuable idea or empirical fallacy?

authors: East, Dayna Erin

abstract: The definition.

We define precarious employment as work for remuneration that is deemed more-or-less precarious based on three indicators explicitly related to the regularity of the employment contract:

- the job can be terminated with little or no prior notice from the employer
- working hours and/or earnings are uncertain/irregular
- a contract for ongoing employment is non-existent.

Across different typologies and definitions, job insecurity is the core/essential element (or common denominator) of precarious employment.

Precarious employment, so defined, will be experienced differently by heterogeneous workers who possess different buffers against its insecurity.

Regardless of the subjective experience, workers can objectively be said to be (or not) in precarious employment.

title: Location of Te Wahitapu Stream and other possible streams in 1877

authors: de Lange, Willem P.

abstract: Review of evidence to establish, with as much confidence as possible, the path of the Te Wahitapu Stream at Matapouri in 1877. The review also examines if other streams may have been present on or in the vicinity of Te Wahitapu Stream in 1877, and if the 1877 or later tsunami may have latered the course of the boundary stream.
