Asia-Pacific diplomacies : reading discontinuity in late-modern diplomatic practice by Tan, See Seng

“…Although historical evidence suggests that diplomatic activities are ambiguous and paradoxical, orthodox discourse, however, explains modern diplomacy as continuous, teleological and guided by common sense - a claim contested here less on grounds of falsity than of crass reductionism. This domesticating predisposition is characteristic of many academic and policybased renditions of Asia-Pacific diplomacy, especially the 'nongovernmental displomacy' genre. …”

Precision and personalized medicine: What their current definition says and silences about the model of health they promote. Implication for the development of personalized health by Cyrille Delpierre, Thomas Lefèvre

“…We highlight that in practice, precision medicine is based on the use of large volumes of biological data for individual purposes mostly in line with the biomedical model of health, which carries the risk of the biological reductionism of the person. A more comprehensive, precise, and even “personal” approach to health would require taking into account environmental, socio-economic, psychological, and biological determinants, an approach more in line with the biopsychosocial model of health. …”

Corpo e infância: natureza e cultura em confronto Body and childhood: nature and culture in clash by Márcia Buss-Simão, Francisco Emílio de Medeiros, Ana Márcia Silva, João Josué da Silva Filho

“…Initially we reviewed the details of the duality concept, which proved insufficient for the understanding of the relationship between body and childhood, either because of focusing their deductions just on the difference and similarity of the biology of the body, or in addressing to cultural determinations, eventually leading to some reductionism.
