Buying influence? The international diplomacy behind donor financing of the World Bank’s International Development Association by Xu, J

“…Finally, the research examines whether a hegemon violating the ‘fairness’ principle by shirking obligations but pursuing undue influence will face secondary states willing to take ‘exit/voice’ measures to restore an implicit contribution-to-influence equity line; and whether such countermeasures would be postponed if secondary states are structurally dependent upon the hegemon and/or lack viable outside options. …”

Public knowledge about healthcare financing philosophy and perception of affordability of medical treatment for cancers in Singapore by Tan, Yinghui

“…Consequently, the change in the variable factor (which is the presence of information), prove that majority of the respondents are not well aware of the public health facilities that they have access to, which may distort their initial perception of affordability of medical treatment in Singapore. The findings are organized into three broad levels of analysis, namely unique experiences, changes of perception before and after the information, as well as sources where they receive their information. …”

Vitrimer-like shape memory polymers : characterization and applications in reshaping and manufacturing by Wang, Tao Xi, Chen, Hong Mei, Salvekar, Abhijit Vijay, Lim, Junyi, Chen, Yahui, Xiao, Rui, Huang, Wei Min

“…Vitrimer, which is between thermoset and thermo-plastic, is featured by the reversible cross-linking. Vitrimer-like shape memory polymers (SMPs) combine the vitrimer-like behavior (associated with dissociative covalent adaptable networks) and SME, and can be utilized to achieve many novel functions that are difficult to be realized by conventional polymers. …”
