Towards whom should indoor environmental quality control be sympathetic : asthmatics or non-asthmatics? by Tham, Kwok Wai, Fadeyi, Moshood Olawale

“…The main findings suggest that: (i) temperature settings should be sympathetic towards asthmatic subjects because of their higher sensitivity to temperatures at the lower spectrum of thermal comfort conditions; (ii) IAQ settings should be sympathetic towards non-asthmatic subjects because of their higher sensitivity to perceived air quality acceptability in the same temperature range. Knowledge gained from this paper has practical implications towards creation of environmentally friendly indoor environment for asthmatic and non-asthmatic building occupants.…”

Wedge strategies, Japan-ASEAN cooperation, and the making of EAS: implications for Indo-Pacific institutionalization by Koga, Kei

“…Multilateral institutions are susceptible to a wedge strategy by major powers that seek to prevent each other from gaining more influence over the institution. An institution is even more vulnerable if its decision-making mechanism is consensus-based as in ASEAN, and this remains the case even if a norm like ASEAN centrality becomes an institutional principle. …”
