Archaia Phusis: the original nature of the soul in Plato’s Middle Dialogues by Körner, H

“…<em>Phronēsis</em> is the true way of having virtue of character because it purifies the soul from bodily beliefs, desires, and fears (<em>Phaedo</em>, <em>Republic</em>), a process which the <em>Phaedrus</em> depicts as a regrowing of the soul’s wings.</p> <p>Tracing the theme of the soul’s <em>archaia phusis</em> in these dialogues touches on central questions in the study of Plato: do the soul’s lower parts survive in our fully purified condition? …”

First nosocomial cluster of COVID-19 due to the Delta variant in a major acute care hospital in Singapore: investigations and outbreak response by Lim, Wei Yen, Tan, Glorijoy Shi En, Htun, Htet Lin, Phua, Hwee Pin, Kyaw, Win Mar, Guo, Huiling, Cui, Lin, Mak, Tze Minn, Poh, Bee Fong, Wong, Judith Chui Ching, Setoh, Yin Xiang, Ang, Brenda Sze Peng, Chow, Angela Li Ping

Creations artistiques et resilience à la Covid-19 (2020): La contribution des artistes plasticiens Camerounais by Fandio Ngahane, R

Securing reform? Post-election power sharing and security sector reform in Zimbabwe, Kenya, and Togo, 2006-2013 by Noyes, A

“…</p> <p>The dissertation uses the method of structured, focused comparison to build and apply the theoretical propositions to the cases of Kenya, Togo, and Zimbabwe. Using process tracing and the logic of most-similar comparisons, I conduct two sets of cross- and within-case comparisons, utilizing elite interviews as the primary tool for data collection. …”

Adjoint-state differential arrival time tomography by Tong, Ping, Li, Tianjue, Chen, Jing, Nagaso,Masaru

“…The recently developed adjoint-state traveltime tomography (ATT) method offers an alternative approach to conduct traveltime tomography without the need for ray tracing or waveform modelling. Instead, it utilizes the eikonal equation to depict the minimal traveltime field from an earthquake location to any position in the computational domain. …”

Institutions and agricultural transformation: a study of induced innovation in the Philippine rice sector by Montesclaros, Jose Ma. Luis P.

“…Research findings supported the hypotheses that agricultural transformation was impeded by the three factors: 1) an industrialisation-inspired de-facto currency overvaluation regime removed farmers’ potential to capture export markets, the latter serving as a “carrot” for adopting innovation; 2) trade protectionist policies in the rice sector removed import competition as a “stick” for adopting innovation; and 3) industrialisation- and land reform-related capital scarcity among smallholder farmers hindered the dynamics of IIA from taking place. The analysis also traced the persistence of these policies back to the state’s premature turn to industrialisation (Post-World War II era) even before the country’s rice sector could be made competitive: historical industrialisation policies 1) created initial conditions for currency overvaluation, and 2) set the stage for the outflow of financial resources from agriculture, leading to capitalisation challenges of farmers; 3) currency overvaluation in turn necessitated policies to protect the market share of farmers from trade (import) competition. …”
