From re-traumatisation to rightful recourse: designing just and victim-supportive policies for disciplining campus sexual misconduct
The issue of sexual misconduct in universities has come to a head in South Africa in recent years. Among the concerns that have been raised in student protests, scholarly studies, and research by the Department of Higher Education and Training is the question of effective institutional mechanisms …

Where rape does not exist: tracing the unsettled position of marital rape in South Africa through women's recourse-seeking journeys
… of violence, while also discovering the forms of recourse that eventually do provide them relief. The research findings unearth an interplay of factors that preclude recognition of the scale of sexual violence in marriage, and stifle survivors’ ability to find recourse. Amidst this web of …

Risk-sensitive security-constrained economic dispatch via critical region exploration
… any single component failure. Corrective (recourse) actions can significantly reduce operational costs. Even with linear power flow models, corrective SCED poses significant computational challenges owing to an increase in the dimensionality arising from additional recourse decisions and …

The Markov chain Monte Carlo approach to importance sampling in stochastic programming
… of current decisions, often referred to as the recourse function. In practice, this calculation is computationally difficult as it involves the evaluation of a multidimensional integral whose integrand is an optimization problem. Accordingly, the recourse function is estimated using quadrature …
