This paper examines the potential role of houses of worship as institutions where individuals can acquire civic skills that can be deployed for political participation in the world's largest Muslim-majority democracy: Indonesia.
This paper presents a broad framework for analyzing radical reform in terms of a large set of collective-action problems faced by potential reformers. It merges concepts that often appear separately in the literature, including social preferences, power relationships, policy subsystems, institutional stability, types of institutional change, and types of agents.
This paper is a critical reconstruction of Luciano Floridi's view of librarianship as "stewardship of a semantic environment" a view that is at odds with the dominant tradition in which library and information science (LIS) is understood as social epistemology
Individual plants in gynodioecious populations of Phacelia linearis (Hydrophyllaceae) vary in flower gender, flower size, and flower number. This paper reports the effects of variation in floral display on the visitation behaviour of this species' pollinators (mainly pollen-collecting solitary bees) in several natural and three experimental plant populations, and discusses the results in terms of the consequences for plant fitness.
Using comprehensive demographic data for two well-studied, short-lived plants (Plantago coronopus, Clarkia xantiana), we show that the arrangement of species' demographic niches reveals key features of their environmental niches and geographic distributions.
