Exploring colonial anxiety in the poetry and prose of Yi Sang by Soh, Gail

“…The rest of this essay will be focused on this newfound awareness of the writers and poets of Korea, particularly of Yi Sang’s, whose expression of modernist sentiments under the guise of part-fiction and part-autobiography will began his literary legacy with his prose and poetic works that became more modern that the oeuvre of anyone else in Korea ever since. Using material from Yi Sang, ultimately, this essay seeks to show how Yi Sang’s work decisively and liberally transgresses the relatively staunch decorum of poetry that readers are accustomed to, and is in fact more delightful and powerful as an afterthought – an influence that lingers to this day. …”

Parameter study of the strength reduction factor of axially loaded tubular K-joints by Cao, Yu

“…Based on the new deformation limit, a tension-to-compression factor is validated, of which helps the definition of tension ultimate strength for uncrack K-joints. Effect of Gap is else studied. In the discussion of cracked K-joints, two reduction formulas are deducted with the reference of BS7910:2005 for simple calculation of ultimate strength for cracked tubular K-joints.…”

Self-knowledge : strengthening our privileged access and the inner sense mechanism by Nur Amirah Sabrina Mohamad

“…In the discourse of self-knowledge, the concept of privileged access and the inner sense account seems to be taken for granted in that we are not cognizant of what else it can offer. I begin this essay with a close inspection of a few accounts of privileged access and the nature of the mental states that derive from it. …”
