Intertheoretic value comparison: a modest proposal by Tarsney, C

“…In this paper, I propose a more modest approach that aims to identify classes of moral theories that share common principles strong enough to establish bases for intertheoretic comparison.

Heavenbeast: a new materialist approach to Ulysses by Schaefer, D

“…Specifically, Ulysses resonates with three thematic concerns of New Materialisms: the nature of matter, the correspondence between human and animal, and the role of affect. Contra some calls for the humanities to retrench in a conservative posture that reaffirms the special status of human reason and “consciousness” – corresponding to Catholic readings of Ulysses that find in Joyce a metaphysical philosopher of transcendence – New Materialisms take human continuity with animals and matter seriously. …”

Biomechanics of skeletal fracture fixation and spine structure by Krishna Kotlanka Rama

“…Biomechanical optimal analysis of the spinal vertebral body (VB) and intervertebral disc (IVD) demonstrates (i) how the VB transmits all types of loading as axial forces through its cortex, to demonstrate its inherent design as a high-strength light-weight structure, (ii) how the IVD effectively contains deformation with increasing level of applied forces, because of the role of the nucleus pulposus in stressing the annulus and raising its elastic modulus, so that nucleotomy (wherein the nucleus pulposus is removed) is a contra-indication for the ruptured disc.…”

Transnational blindness: international institutions and refugees’ cross-border activities by Betts, A, Omata, N, Sterck, O

“…As a theoretical starting point, it draws upon the post-development literature, and notably the work of James Ferguson, which explores how international institutions frequently misunderstand the agency and strategies of their subject populations. However, contra Ferguson’s predominantly Foucauldian methodological and epistemologically approach, the article adopts a mixed methods approach, and emphasises the agency of aid workers, bureaucratic politics, and political economy in its account of the disjuncture between international institutions’ state-centric livelihoods programmes and refugees’ own cross-border economic strategies. …”

Are there moral differences between maternal spindle transfer and pronuclear transfer? by Palacios-González, C

“…Finally, it investigates whether there is a moral difference between MST and PNT from a human embryo destruction point of view. I conclude, contra recent arguments, that regarding the first two points there is no moral differences between PNT and MST; and that regarding the third one MST is morally preferable to PNT, but only if we hold a gradualist account of the moral value of human embryos where zygotes have slight moral value.…”

“…Congruency effects were produced on both sides only when the two flanking distractors grouped together (by both onset and offset, Experiment 4) and when the ipsilesional flanking distractor grouped with the target by onset (lone contra offset, Experiment 4). The results are attributed to ipsilesional capture in central target detection, which is offset by temporal grouping processes when another stimulus appears on the contralateral side.…”
