A Roadmap for Using the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development in Support of Science, Policy, and Action
The health of the ocean, central to human well-being, has now reached a critical point. Most fish stocks are overexploited, climate change and increased dissolved carbon dioxide are changing ocean chemistry and disrupting species throughout food webs, and the fundamental capacity of the ocean to regulate the climate has been altered. However, key technical, organizational, and conceptual scientific barriers have prevented the identification of po…
The Ipbes Conceptual Framework — connecting nature and people
The first public product of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) is its Conceptual Framework. This conceptual and analytical tool, presented here in detail, will underpin all IPBES functions and provide structure and comparability to the syntheses that IPBES will produce at different spatial scales, on different themes, and in different regions. Salient innovative aspects of the IPBES Conceptual Framework …
Between Liberation(s) and Occupation(s)
From the fall of France in 1940 to the Anglo-American liberation of North Africa from Vichy rule (in Morocco and Algeria) and German occupation (in Tunisia), from November 1942 to May 1943, the Second World War profoundly transformed North African youth. For young French-educated Jews living in urban colonial spaces, disillusionment with Vichy France's betrayal of democracy and equality led them to a search for new political models, including Com…
Memories (out) of place
This article examines the construction of memory through relation to lost Jewish places and spaces in Algeria in recent French-language autobiographical writing of Albert Bensoussan, Alice Cherki, Annie Cohen, Jean Cohen, Attica Guedj, Benjamin Stora and Daniel Timsit. Published between 1995 and 2010, these works represent a duel interrogation of memory through evocation of place: first, remembering the ways Jews carved out space for themselves a…

Executive pay and the search for legitimacy
This article draws on case studies from five of the UK privatized water plcs in order to examine how Remuneration Committees operationalized and justified their executive long-term incentive pay (LTIP) schemes. The article uses these as `revelatory' examples to illuminate how problematic decisions about executive pay can be. The water plc Remuneration Committees, concerned about potential stakeholder criticism, devoted considerable time and resou…

METHOD: We used qualitative data from interviews with mental health service users to develop a pilot scale with 42 items. We recruited 193 service users in order to standardise the scale. Of these, 93 were asked to complete the questionnaire twice, …

Thirty‐six chronic pain patients (17 men, 19 women) attending an out‐patient operating theatre for diagnostic nerve blocks/ local anaesthetic injections were allocated to one of two conditions (experimental and control). All patients received a standard information leaflet concerning the forthcoming injectio…

Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises
Though both of the above texts have as their primary focus the organisation of production in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in terms of intellectual style, the mode and level of analysis and the public policy prescriptions and ambitions of their authors, they contrast sharply. Nevertheless, the texts com plement each other. The volume edited by Bagnasco and Sabel, part of the 'Social Change in Western Europe' series, consists of a col…

Prediction of Early Voluntary Turnover and Job Performance
This study examined early voluntary turnover and job performance in a group of 78 private contract security officers. A preemployment inventory was administered but not used as part of the selection process. Subsequent measures of early voluntary turnover and job performance were analyzed with respect to the inventory scores. Analyses indicated a relationship between the number of days an individual remained on the job before quitting and scores …
Employment Change, Profits and Directors‘ Remuneration in Small and Closely‐held Uk Companies
This paper investigates the relationship between close company employment change, directors remuneration, and profitability. Employment changes are best explained by retained profits, and the relationship between directors remuneration and taxable profits suggests that remuneration levels are varied so as to minimize directors total tax liabilities. These results indicate that current U.K. public policies, which attempt to increase employment in …
