Revisión del género Saxifraga L., sect. Dactyloides Tausch en el centro y norte de la Península Ibérica

Hemos llevado a cabo la revisión del género Saxifraga L., sección Dactyloides Tausch (grex Ceratophyllae Willk., Gemmiferae Willk., y Exarato-Moschatae Engler & Itmsch.) del centro y norte de la Península Ibérica, mediante el estudio de caracteres morfológicos, palinológicos y seminológicos, de entre los que destacamos por su valor diagnóstico los siguientes: longitud y anchura máxima de las hojas basilares, longitud del peciolo real de las mismas, número total de segmentos y tipo de segmento central de las hojas basilares, anchura del segmento central de las hojas basilares, presencia-ausencia de mucrón en el ápice foliar, contorno de la lámina de las hojas basilares, forma de los segmentos laterales de la lámina de las hojas basilares, tipo de indumento de las hojas basilares, distribución de los pelos glandulares y número de células de los mismos, clasificación de las hojas en base a la presencia-ausencia de surco, longitud del tallo florífero, mitad apical o basal del tallo florífero cubierta de pelos glandulares, presencia de yemas hibemantes, forma apical de los dientes del cáliz, longitud y anchura de los pétalos, porción del pétalo que sobrepasa al sépalo, longitud y anchura de la semilla y omamentación de la cubierta seminal. Los caracteres estudiados nos han permitido reconocer un total de treinta y tres táxones de los que aportamos datos corológicos, ecológicos y fitosociológicos. Se añade una clave de identificación de todos los táxones objeto de estudio, en la que también se incluyen S. conifera Cosson, S. x martyi Luizet & Soulié, S. pubescens Pourret subsp. pubescens, S. pubescens subsp. iratiana (F.W. Schultz) Engler & Irmsch., y S. vayredana Luizet, los cuales aunque no tratados en nuestra revisión, se distribuyen por el norte de la Península Ibérica.

Do Foreign Greenfields Outperform Foreign Acquisitions or Vice Versa? An Institutional Perspective.

Prior studies of the comparative performance of greenfields and acquisitions have advanced competing arguments, with some arguing that greenfields should outperform acquisitions because acquisitions are costlier to integrate, and others that acquisitions should outperform greenfields because greenfields suffer from a liability of newness. Moreover, while the costs of integration and the liability of newness are at their greatest during a subsidiary's first years, prior studies have tested their competing arguments on samples containing older subsidiaries. We extend these prior studies by (1) developing an institutional theory-based framework that simultaneously considers the costs of integration and the liability of newness, (2) recognizing that both types of costs vary with the level of subsidiary integration, and (3) focusing on the stage of their life during which subsidiaries predominantly incur these costs. To measure subsidiary performance, we ask managers of Dutch multinationals how their ex ante performance expectations compare to the subsidiary's ex post performance during its first two years. Analysing a sample of 191 foreign subsidiaries and controlling for entry mode self-selection and other factors, we find that acquisitions outperform greenfields at low and intermediate levels of subsidiary integration, but that greenfields outperform acquisitions at higher integration levels.

Enforcing Employment Discrimination Law - Potential Transplants from Italy to Britain and Vice Versa?

While substantive EU non-discrimination law has been harmonized in great detail, the enforcement regime for EU non-discrimination law consists merely of a few isolated elements. Thus, the pursuit of unity through harmonization in substantive EU law is accompanied by considerable regulatory autonomy for Member States in securing the efficiency of those laws, reflecting the diversity of national enforcement regimes, and resulting in twenty-seven different national models for enforcing discrimination law in labour markets. This article pursues two connected arguments through a comparison of rules for enforcing non-discrimination law in labour markets in Britain and Italy. First, it argues that enforcing non-discrimination law in labour markets is best achieved when responsive governance, repressive regulation and mainstreaming equality law are combined. Second, the article submits that diversity of national legal orders within the EU is not necessarily detrimental, as it offers opportunities for mutual learning across legal systems.The notion of mutual learning across systems is proposed in order to analyse the transnational migration of legal ideas within the EU. Such migration has been criticized in debates about the ‘transplantation’ of legal concepts or legal irritation through foreign legal ideas, in particular by comparative labour lawyers. However, EU harmonization policies in the field of non-discrimination law aim to impact on national labour laws. The article develops the notion of mutual learning across legal systems in order to establish conditions for transnational migration of legal ideas, and demonstrates the viability of these concepts by applying them to the field of non-discrimination law

From Substance Use to Homelessness or Vice Versa?

Homelessness is associated with substance use, but whether substance use precedes or follows homelessness is unclear. We investigate the nature of the relationship between homelessness and substance use using data from the unique Australian panel dataset Journeys Home collected in 4 surveys over the period from October 2011 to May 2013. Our data refer to 1325 individuals who were homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. We investigate dynamics in homelessness and substance use over the survey period. We find that the two are closely related: homeless individuals are more likely to be substance users and substance users are more likely to be homeless. These relationships, however, are predominantly driven by observed and unobserved individual characteristics which cause individuals to be both more likely to be homeless and to be substance users. Once we take these personal characteristics into account it seems that homelessness does not affect substance use, although we cannot rule out that alcohol use increases the probability that an individual becomes homeless. These overall relationships also hide some interesting heterogeneity by ‘type’ of homelessness
