RÉSUMÉCette étude examine le phénomène des soins donnés par l'épouse à la suite du placement en établissement de son conjoint âgé. En théorie, l'étude puise dans la perspective d'interprétation sociologique et dans le concept de carriére. Son aspect méthodologique repose sur un cadre longitudinal et prospectif et réunit les approches quantitatives et qualitatives. Les données sont tirées d'une etude plus vaste qui explorait la transition vers un état de quasi-veuvage. L'article traite d'un aspect des soins suivant l'admission de l'époux en centre de soins à long terme, soit de l'accomplissement des tâches. Aux termes de l'etude, les épouses effectuent un nombre substantiel et varié de tâches reliées aux soins personnels, instrumentaux, relationnels et récréatifs. Elles considêrent les visites comme la plus importante de leur tâche mais accordent également une valeur importante à la présence, á l'amour et à l'appui, aux petites choses qu'elles font pour leur mari et à la surveillance de leur santé et de leur bien-être. Généralement, elles exécutent des tâches qu'elles jugent du ressort de leurs responsabilités. La réalisation des tâches se place dans un contexte servant à expliquer, en partie, leur engagement continu dans la fourniture des soins apràs l'admission de leur époux en établissement de soins de longue durée. La portée de cette étude souligne le besoin de collaboration entre les épouses soignantes et le personnel dans une perspective de maintien et d'augmentation de la qualityé des soins accorded par les épouses aînées dont le conjoint est placé en établissement.

Basing on the results of a Russia-Japan joint enterprise survey conducted in 2005, the paper examines the legal-organizational form of joint-stock companies (JSCs) in Russia. The Federal Law on joint-stock companies stipulates that JSCs should be established in one of the two different legal forms, namely "open" or "closed" companies that provide a unique institutional setting for Russian firms from the viewpoint of their corporate governance. The paper deliberates the determinants of organizational choice between these two legal forms. Then it examines empirical relations between the legal forms of JSCs and their organizational behavior.

NGO–firm partnerships have been well studied in the literature on corporate social responsibility (CSR) (Marano and Tashman 2012; Dahan et al. 2010; Oetzel and Doh 2009). However, these studies have generally limited their focus to Western multinationals and Western NGOs and, moreover, not by-and-large examine in depth the institutional settings under which either the firm or the NGO operates Building on recent institutional approaches to CSR (Brammer, Jackson, and Matten 2012; Kang and Moon 2012; Matten and Moon 2008), this paper examines how the institutional dynamics of several partnerships between Chinese firms and NGOs affect the manifestation of CSR (e.g. “implicit” vs. “explicit”). The paper also looks into how CSR and NGO–firm collaboration plays out within a changing state-corporatist framework in Chinese context (Unger and Chan 1995, 2008; Hsu and Hasmath forthcoming). The paper then argues 1) that the involvement of an NGO in the partnership reflects a changing institutional setting in China, and 2) that type and level of involvement of Chinese government institutions affects whether a given firm takes an “implicit” or an “explicit” approach to CSR.

ArgumentThis paper analyses a process of co-construction of knowledge and its multiple forms of communication in a country of the European periphery in the early twentieth century. It focuses on Lieutenant Manuel Soares de Melo e Simas, a politically engaged Portuguese astronomer, who moved from amateur to professional during the political transition from the monarchy to the republic. Melo e Simas paralleled his professional career in continuous activity of communicating science to the public in the context of republicanism in a double way, by responding to the agenda of republicanism and by playing an active role in shaping it. He aimed at educating lay audiences in the various ways of astronomy, and he reached out to as many people as possible by exploring a multitude of communication channels, from lectures to articles in newspapers and journals. Voiced often within newly created republican institutions, the praxis and the ideas of Melo e Simas helped to mold the new republican scientific ethos. By going beyond mere emphasis on scientism and positivism, usually taken to be the defining characteristics of the new republican ethos, this paper argues that science and the specificities of its multiple forms of communication were central to the way Melo e Simas shaped the republican ideology. Furthermore, popularization of science was used to legitimize the status of professional scientists at the same time that it helped reinforce their institutional setting, still to be negotiated in the forthcoming decades through a complex process which deserves further historical analysis.
