Disciplining the state: virtue, violence, and state-making in modern China by Thornton, P

“…This study finds that in China, the challenges of governing produced a trajectory of state-building in which the processes of moral regulation and social control were at least as central to state-making as the exercise of coercive power. …”

Capacity, autonomy, and risk: reflecting on asymmetries in capacity to consent and capacity to refuse by Pugh, J

“…I then explain how two competing theories of risk-relative standards are incompatible with at least one of these claims. Drawing on Douglas’ distinction between standards of ‘true capacity’ and standards invoked in the ‘test’ for capacity, I then outline my ‘quality of evidence’ view. …”

A surface transporter family conveys the trypanosome differentiation signal by Dean, S, Marchetti, R, Kirk, K, Matthews, KR

“…Consistent with predictions for the response of trypanosomes to CCA, PAD proteins are expressed on the surface of the transmission-competent ‘stumpy-form’ parasites in the bloodstream, and at least one member is thermoregulated, showing elevated expression and surface access at low temperature. …”

Reasons and reproduction: gene editing and genetic selection by McMahan, J, Savulescu, J

“…We argue that both of these objections can be satisfactorily answered and thus that there is indeed a significant moral reason, at least in some cases, to use gene editing rather than embryo selection.…”

Simple ecological indicators benchmark regeneration success of Amazonian forests by Giles, AL, Schietti, J, Rosenfield, MF, Mesquita, RC, Vieira, DLM, Vieira, ICG, Poorter, L, Brancalion, PHS, Peña-Claros, M, Siqueira, J, Oliveira Junior, L, do Espírito-Santo, MM, Sarmento, PSDM, Ferreira, JN, Berenguer, E, Barlow, J, Elias, F, Cassol, HLG, Silva, RC, Ribeiro, SC, Medeiros, N, Junqueira, AB, Massoca, P, Ferreira, MJ

“…After 20 years, successful regeneration should reach a minimum basal area of 14 m². ha−¹, at least 34 tree species per 100 individuals, a structural heterogeneity index of 0.27, and 123 Mg.ha−¹ of aboveground biomass. …”

Why not travel to Malaysia? variations in inbound tourists perceptions toward halal-friendly destination attributes by Azali, Mohamed, Kamal Basha, Norazlyn, Chang, Yee-Shan, Lim, Xin-Jean, Cheah, Jun-Hwa

“…A total of 666 observations were collected using surveys and the data sets were analyzed via partial least squares structural equation modeling. The empirical results show that both countries have indicated variations in terms of preferences for social environment, services, and facilities. …”

Determination of hexane residues in vegetable oils with FTIR spectroscopy by Mirghani, M. E. S., Che Man, Y. B.

“…The method was based on horizontal attenuated total reflectance with a ZnSe crystal at 45° at room temperature, and partial least squares (PLS) statistics were used to derive calibration models. …”
