Materiality definition, reporting regime, and sustainability disclosure by Cai, Qingzhi

“…I experimentally examine how different materiality definitions (financial materiality vs. impact materiality vs. double materiality) for sustainability matters and the reporting regime for sustainability reports (voluntary reporting regime vs. mandatory reporting regime) jointly affect corporate managers’ tendency to disclose more details about material sustainability matters. …”

The secret lives of urban kampong chiefs : a political ethnography of grassroots leaders in Singapore's neighbourhood governance and regime politics by Wong, George Boon Keng

“…These studies depict the vital roles community leaders play in shaping the styles of urban governance and authoritarian regime resilience. They also call for renewed inquiries into existing political actors’ lived experiences and their relationship with political legitimacy and regime durability. …”

Gendering migration in Asia : a case study of Chinese female migrant workers in Singapore by Yang, Wei

“…Part I (Chapter 2-4) primarily examines the multifaceted factors that promote, facilitate and condition women’s labour migration from China to Singapore, including the macro-level structural factors such as transnational production regime, migrant labour regime in Singapore, and family regime in China, the meso-level institutional factors such as migration infrastructure and migrants’ social networks, as well as the micro-level factors such as women’s migration motives. …”

Dynamics of quantum gas in non-abelian gauge field by Hasan, Mehedi

“…After performing optical pumping to one of the Zeeman states of the hyper ne ground-state, while atoms are inside the dipole trap, we have cooled down the strontium-87 atoms via evaporativ cooling and the gas enters the quantum regime at a T/T_F = 0.21(4), with Temperature T and Fermi temperature T_F. …”
