Resilience among Nigerian transnational parents in the Netherlands: a strength‐based Approach to migration and transnational parenting
Global Networks, 2018Co-Authors: Lidewyde H. Berckmoes, Valentina MazzucatoAbstract:In this article, we adopt a Strength-Based Approach to transnational parenting. Recent studies have shown that not all transnational parents have a negative sense of well-being. Here, we explore parental resilience over a lifespan to understand how mothers and fathers alleviate the strain of spatial separation from their children. Having established from a quantitative study on the same group that neither men nor women necessarily suffer emotionally from separation from their children, we report the findings of a qualitative study on 18 Nigerian men and women in the Netherlands. We look at the strategies and resources that parents employ to overcome the challenges of migration and transnational parenting, to forge a sense of identity and belonging in a migratory context, to ‘do family’ while spatially separated, to deal with the difficult life events associated with migration, and to maintain a sense of agency amid stringent migration regulations. By revealing the importance of cultural and individual resources in fostering resilience, the contribution of our study is to the literature on the influence of structural factors in the promotion of well-being.

Capacity and ductility demand estimation procedures for preliminary design of coupled core wall systems of tall buildings
Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2016Co-Authors: Eren Vuran, M. Nuray AydınoğluAbstract:Performance-based seismic engineering has brought new dimensions to tall building design, leading to a major transformation from the prescriptive linear Strength-Based Approach to the explicit non - prescriptive nonlinear deformation-based design Approach. Current tall building seismic design practice is based on a well-established design methodology, which starts with a preliminary design followed by two performance evaluation stages. However the designer has no reliable analysis tools at preliminary design stage other than linear response analysis and application of capacity design principles, which in fact may not insure for an acceptable nonlinear response in performance evaluation stage under maximum considered earthquake. In order to fill the gap an attempt is made to develop simple capacity and ductility demand estimation tools for coupled core wall systems to be implemented during the preliminary design stage.

Challenges and Problems in Performance-Based Design of Tall Buildings
Performance-Based Seismic Engineering: Vision for an Earthquake Resilient Society, 2014Co-Authors: M. Nuray AydınoğluAbstract:Tall building design is becoming a major area application of performance-based seismic design, as evidenced by several design guidelines and consensus documents published in the last few years. In general, performance-based earthquake engineering has brought new dimensions to tall building design, leading to a major transformation from the linear Strength-Based Approach to the nonlinear deformation-based design practice. Consequently it becomes possible that the structural restrictions imposed on tall buildings by traditional prescriptive seismic design codes can be removed. However design guidelines have not fully matured yet and there are several issues, on which consensus has not been reached yet. On the other hand, it has to be admitted that the design profession is not prepared yet to fully implement the requirements of the performance-based design. Conceptual transformation from the prescriptive code-based design to a non-prescriptive design based on completely new features including nonlinear modeling, response-history analysis and deformation-based acceptance criteria represents a great challenge. Tall building design engineers are in need of appropriate design tools to help them, at least in the preliminary design stage, for a smooth transition to the performance-based design. The present paper is intended to identify some of the critical problems the design engineers face in the challenging new era of performance-based tall building design.
