What motivates the adoption of green restaurant products and services? A systematic review and future research agenda

Issues regarding green restaurants have received significant scholarly and practitioner attention in the last decade, particularly concerning why consumers adopt green restaurants. Although several reviews exist on green hospitality, a comprehensive review of the literature on consumers' green restaurant adoption is currently lacking. The following systematic literature review examines 50 research studies published on the consumer adoption of green restaurant services to address this gap accordingly. Through a detailed content analysis, the research profile and thematic analysis are presented. The review further identifies four key thematic foci: (a) consumer behavior variables studied, (b) antecedents internal to the consumer, (c) antecedents due to the perception of external factors, and (d) moderators. Limitations and gaps from each of the themes are offered with potential future research questions. The novelty of the review lies in the development of a “green restaurant adoption research framework” that cuts across multiple theoretical perspectives to summarize why consumers adopt green restaurant services.     

跨界流域水资源冲突的脆性与评价

基于复杂系统脆性理论,定义了跨界流域水资源冲突脆性概念,分析了冲突脆性源及脆性激发过程。运用突变级数法,构建了跨界流域水资源冲突脆性评价指标体系和评价模型,并对漳河流域水资源冲突脆性进行评价,提出了降低脆性的对策建议。研究表明:跨界流域内不同区域的水资源冲突脆性,不同地区的各子系统的冲突脆性,以及各地区的不同子系统的冲突脆性,均表现出异质性。要降低流域和地区的水资源冲突脆性,需要流域机构和地方政府的共同努力,从社会子系统、环境子系统、经济子系统、管理子系统等方面同时入手。流域管理机构应致力于建立流域整体水资源冲突脆性协调与控制机制,区域地方政府则应更新发展理念,加强与其他区域之间的共赢合作。

Cost-effectiveness of novel relapsed-refractory multiple myeloma therapies in Norway: lenalidomide plus dexamethasone vs bortezomib

Abstract

Objective:

To estimate the cost-effectiveness (cost per additional life-year [LY] and quality-adjusted life-year [QALY] gained) of lenalidomide plus dexamethasone (LEN/DEX) compared with bortezomib for the treatment of relapsed-refractory multiple myeloma (rrMM) in Norway.

Methods:

A discrete-event simulation model was developed to predict patients’ disease course using patient data, best response, and efficacy levels obtained from LEN/DEX MM-009/-010 trials and the bortezomib (APEX) published clinical trial. Predictive equations for time-to-progression (TTP) and post-progression survival (PPS) were developed by identifying the best fitting parametric survival distributions and selecting the most significant predictors. Disease and adverse event management was obtained via survey from Norwegian experts. Costs, derived from official Norwegian pricing data bases, included drug, administration, monitoring, and adverse event management costs.

Results:

Complete or partial responders were 65% for LEN/DEX compared to 43% for bortezomib. Derived median TTP was 11.45 months for LEN/DEX compared to 5.15 months for bortezomib. LYs and QALYs were higher for LEN/DEX (4.06 and 2.95, respectively) than for bortezomib (3.11 and 2.19, respectively). The incremental costs per QALY and LY gained from LEN/DEX were NOK 247,978 and NOK 198,714, respectively, compared to bortezomib. Multiple sensitivity analyses indicated the findings were stable. The parameters with the greatest impact were 4-year time horizon (NOK 441,457/QALY) and higher bound confidence intervals for PPS (NOK 118,392).

Limitations:

The model analyzed two therapies not compared in head-to-head trials, and predicted results using an equation incorporating patient-level characteristics. It is a limited estimation of the costs and outcomes in a Norwegian setting.

Conclusions:

The simulation model showed that treatment with LEN/DEX leads to greater LYs and QALYs when compared to bortezomib in the treatment of rrMM patients. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio indicated treatment with LEN/DEX to be cost-effective and was the basis of the reimbursement approval of LEN/DEX in Norway.     

An Applicat ion of Halliday's Text ual Funct ion Theory:Analysis of Ant on Chekhov's “A Nincompoop”

Theme and information focus,two important concepts of Functional Grammar,are helpful for us to interpret the information placement of a text.The relationship between the two by analyzing the thematic structure and information structure of Anton Chekhov's A Nincompoop is attempted to show.The thematic progressing of the text to present its inner connexity is also explored.The purpose of doing this is to dig up the hidden meaning the author wants to express.     

Employers' organisations as social movements: Political power and identity work

The literature on employers' and business organisations (EOs) has failed to analyse them as contentious organisations that apply identity work as a power resource to mobilise resources and members. This article is based on a qualitative case study of Islamic EOs in Turkey. Developing a social movement model of EOs, I analyse the mechanisms through which identity work with local religious collaborators facilitated collective action and political power. I find that the role of identity work was threefold: providing internal solidarity, securing external legitimacy, and supporting contentious institutional change by developing new policy ideas. This model can be applied more widely as EOs have increasingly shifted from traditional roles to take on social movement characteristics.     

Stratification of Skewed Populations: A review

When Dalenius provided a set of equations for the determination of stratum boundaries of a single auxiliary variable, that minimise the variance of the Horvitz–Thompson estimator of the mean or total under Neyman allocation for a fixed sample size, he pointed out that, though mathematically correct, those equations are troublesome to solve. Since then there has been a proliferation of approximations of an iterative nature, or otherwise cumbersome, tendered for this problem; many of these approximations assume a uniform distribution within strata, and, in the case of skewed populations, that all strata have the same relative variation. What seems to have been missed is that the combination of these two assumptions offers a much simpler and equally effective method of subdivision for skewed populations; take the stratum boundaries in geometric progression.     

我国中小银行成长性综合评价研究

通过构建商业银行成长性评价体系,利用突变级数法对14家中小银行2007～2010年的成长性进行评价,得出中小银行具有振荡向上的成长趋势,且股份制银行整体成长性优于城市商业银行,但对于影响成长性的各因素,银行间的表现不尽相同。这表明中小银行还需调整经营管理思路来保证成长的稳健和持续。
