Unique composition and evolutionary histories of large low velocity provinces by Panton, J, Davies, JH, Koelemeijer, P, Myhill, R, Ritsema, J

“…Circum-Pacific subduction of oceanic lithosphere has continuously replenished the Pacific LLVP with relatively young SOC since 300 Ma, while the African LLVP comprises older, well-mixed material. Our models suggest the Pacific LLVP stores up to 53% more SOC produced in the last 1.2 Gyr than the African LLVP, potentially making the Pacific domain denser and less buoyant.…”

Transnational healthcare seeking : how ageing Taiwanese return migrants view homeland public benefits by Sun, Ken Chih-Yan

“…I use the concept of ‘transnational healthcare seeking’ to describe how returning seniors try to maintain their physical, psychological and social well-being by accessing the benefits of public healthcare available in their homeland rather than in the USA. Furthermore, I offer the concept of ‘logics of social right’ to demonstrate how older returnees seek to reconfirm their social commitment to their homeland and to defend their entitlement to its state-provided benefits against public criticism that they are free riders. …”

Slowdown: the end of the great acceleration—and why it's good for the planet, the economy, and our lives by Dorling, D

“…<br> Perhaps most surprising of all is the fact that even as new technologies frequently reshape our everyday lives and are widely believed to be propelling our civilization into new and uncharted waters, the rate of technological progress is also rapidly dropping. Rather than lament this turn of events, Dorling embraces it as a moment of promise and a move toward stability, and he notes that many of the older great strides in progress that have defined recent history also brought with them widespread warfare, divided societies, and massive inequality.…”

Managing longevity risks in Singapore : an analysis of returns on variable annuities using the Lee-Carter model, financial time series analysis and Monte Carlo simulation by Sun, Si Lu, Yu, Shu Mei, Zhang, Chen

“…We also discover that at older ages, the marginal reward for investing in riskier portfolios diminishes, as the increase in variance of returns, and hence the risk exposure is more than proportionate to the increase in expected returns.…”

Attitudinal versus psychosocial resource measures of career adaptability and boundaryless career attitudes by Sam, Emma Yoke Loo, Ho, Moon-Ho Ringo, Uy, Marilyn Ang, Chenyshenko, Oleksandr S., Chan, Kim Yin

“…Confirmatory factor analyses of data collected from 750 university students in Singapore show that the two career adaptability scales are each best modeled in terms of a second-order “general” factor and several first-order factors; and, that the second-order factors correlate .43, suggesting that they measure two different but related constructs. …”
