Abstract:

There is a preponderance of criticism in the literature about the EU-ACP Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA). This paper adopts a neutral stance to present some of these criticisms. The approach is a critical review that culminates in a suggested research agenda. A deduction from critical literature is critic’s censure of EU-ACP EPA apparent coercive posture, described as not meeting developmental expectations both in previous and current agreement. However, some literature avows that EU-ACP EPA has some benefits to EPA, but opines that institutional problems such as corruption in some ACP co

Abstract:

The IUCN (World Conservation Union) defines biological diversity (or biodiversity for short) as "the variability of life in all its forms, levels and combinations". One approach to maintaining biodiversity is through the reservation of protected areas. In less developed countries, there is a poor capacity to fund and manage protected areas efficiently, and therefore international co-operation is required. The ACP countries ? Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific, are rich in biodiversity yet lack the economic means to conserve. The IUCN released Parks for Biodiversity: Policy Guidance based on

Background: In recent decades, issues related to end-of-life care and advance care planning (ACP) have attracted popular attention. Advance care planning has been broadly discussed as one of the potential solutions to protect a patient’s rights, autonomy, and dignity at the end of life. To better understand publishing on this topic, we conducted this study to demonstrate the worldwide research productivity, trends, and citations of ACP in the past 3 decades by bibliometric analysis.

AbstractThe European Union's (EU) trade and development ‘partnership’ with the African, Caribbean, and Pacific (ACP) countries has long interested scholars of North-South relations.

In the timeframe of the Cotonou Agreement (2000–20), this division has expressed itself in relation to liberal assessments of Europe's pursuit of pro-poor market reforms in the Post-Washington Consensus and critical accounts of E

AbstractThe false codling moth (FCM), Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is an insect pest which represents an important threat to the production and marketing of a wide range of agricultural crops in the African-Caribbean-Pacific (ACP) countries. The FCM reduces not only the yield and quality of the crop but also as a quarantine insect pest, restricts the trade of susceptible agricultural produce on the international market. In addition, little research has been conducted in the ACP countries on the bio-ecology and sustainable management of this pest, especially on vegetables

It argues that as the EC attempts to incorporate the former Eastern bloc into free market liberalism with new policies of association, ACP interests are in danger of becoming marginalised.

AbstractFrom the early 1960s through the late 1980s, Lomé Convention, the chief achievement of Euro-African Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries' entente, has been an interdependent form of partnership that has offered ACP states a privileged position in the European Economic Commission's Market. Although considered a cornerstone and model for Europe's North-South economic cooperation, changes that occurred in the aftermath of the Cold War had drastic effects on the nature of this historic partnership. In the period between 1989 and 1995, profound changes occurred in international relations f

Abstract:

Abstract Background and Objectives There is a substantial body of research on advance care planning (ACP), often originating from English-speaking countries and focused on health care settings. However, studies of content of ACP conversations in community settings remain scarce. We therefore explore community-dwelling, older adults’ reasoning about end-of-life (EoL) values and preferences in ACP conversations. Research Design and Methods In this participatory action research project, planned and conducted in collaboration with national community-based organizations, we interviewed 65 older adu

Abstract:

54 Background: Shared decision-making and informed patient choices are promoted in many countries. However, advances in antitumoral treatments are making decisions and communication more complex and the benefit of early discussions on end-of-life care is still unclear, especially in most distressed patients. Using a validated French version of the Autonomy Preference Index (API), we studied the factors associated with the level of preference for participation in medical decision-making (DM), information seeking (IS) and advanced care planning (ACP) in patients with incurable cancer. Methods: T

Abstract:

BackgroundOutbreaks of sterile or chemical peritonitis are uncommon and often not well documented. It is therefore important to describe the characteristics of sterile peritonitis in continuous peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.MethodsCharacteristics of acute chemical peritonitis (ACP) are described in 20 patients (5 males, 15 females; mean age 50 ± 15 years; range 29 – 72 years). Cultures and Gram stains were negative for micro-organisms. All patients with symptoms of peritonitis were using glucose bags with the same lot number and resolution of peritonitis occurred only after changing the su
