Do pollinator distributions underlie the evolution of pollination ecotypes in the Cape shrub Erica plukenetii?
2013
Background and aims According to the Grant-Stebbins model of pollinator-driven divergence, plants that disperse beyond the range of their specialized pollinator may adapt to a new pollination system. Although this model provides a compelling explanation for pollination ecotype formation, few studies have directly tested its validity in nature. Here we investigate the distribution and pollination biology of several subspecies of the shrub Erica plukenetii from the Cape Floristic Region in South Africa. We analyse these data in a phylogenetic context and combine these results with information on pollinator ranges to test whether the evolution of pollination ecotypes is consistent with the Gra…
Most-Favoured-Nation Treatment, Survival Clauses and Reform of International Investment Law
2016
In the last decade, international investment law has been on a trajectory of rapid evolution with reform high on agenda priorities. Reform requires a reconciliation of competing interests, which is generally so difficult to achieve that it is often unclear whether an option constitutes ‘reform’ or unwanted change. Two specific treaty provisions, the most-favoured-nation (MFN) treatment and survival clauses, can interfere with the reform process and become an impediment to changing the rules of the game. This is particularly true when political will is present. The MFN treatment, a guarantee of non-discrimination present in the quasi-totality of investment treaties, can have far-reaching ram…

Performance analysis of the closed loop supply chain
2012
Purpose The question of resource scarcity and emerging pressure of environmental legislations has brought a new challenge for the manufacturing industry. On the one hand, there is a huge population that demands a large quantity of commodities; on the other hand, these demands have to be met by minimum resources and pollution. Resource conservative manufacturing (ResCoM) is a proposed holistic concept to manage these challenges. The successful implementation of this concept requires cross functional collaboration among relevant fields, and among them, closed loop supply chain is an essential domain. The paper aims to highlight some misconceptions concerning the closed loop supply chain, to d…

Propiedades Psicométricas de la Versión Española del Cancer Survivors¿ Unmet Needs (CaSUN-S) en Cáncer de Mama
2021
[ES] el Cancer Survivors¿ Unmet Needs (CaSUN) ha sido desarrollado para esta población, pero varias cuestiones sobre sus propiedades estructurales permanecen inconclusas. Método: este estudio prueba el modelo teórico, la solución empírica de los autores originales y una nueva propuesta racional del CaSUN utilizando Análisis Factorial Confi rmatorio; también analiza su fi abilidad y validez convergente. 566 supervivientes de cáncer de mama completaron el CaSUN, el Inventario Breve de Síntomas-18 (BSI-18) y el Quality of Life in Adult Cancer Survivors (QLACS). Resultados: el modelo propuesto de cinco dominios (efectos físicos, efectos psicológicos, atención integral e información, cuestiones …
Conceptualizing and Measuring the Quality of Democracy: The Citizens' Perspective
2018
In recent years, several measurements of the quality of democracy have been developed (e.g. Democracy Barometer, Varieties of Democracy Project). These objective measurements focus on institutional and procedural characteristics of democracy. This article starts from the premise that in order to fully understand the quality of democracy such objective measurements have to be complemented by subjective measurements based on the perspective of citizens. The aim of the article is to conceptualize and measure the subjective quality of democracy. First, a conceptualization of the subjective quality of democracy is developed consisting of citizens’ support for three normative models of democracy …
