Domestic adjudicative institutions, developing countries and sustainable development: Linkages and limitations
No full textThe chapter draws insights from the institutional theoretic model to investigate the role of courts and other formal adjudicative institutions in promoting sustainable development. Its tripartite institutions framework emphasises the knowledge and communicative elements of sustainable development flowing from key social actors such as adjudicative institutions to other segments of society. Using environmental protection as a case study and making references to national laws and judicial decisions, the chapter demonstrates that adjudicative institutions can manifest a commitment to sustainable development, affirm applicable global standards influence other actors in, and segments of, society. It is argued that the regulatory role of adjudicative institutions includes constitutionalisation of sustainable development, empowerment of individuals and stakeholder groups and addressing vulnerability of victims while the normative role ensures the internalisation and transmission of sustainable development values. The cognitive role includes reshaping local practices by promoting effective glocalisation and appropriate corporate governance and social responsibility for sustainable development. While it shows adjudicative institutions as a key champion for sustainable development in the public and private spheres, the chapter proposes solutions to overcoming impediments to such as lack of explicit provisions, narrowly focusing on compensatory remedies, locus standi, forum non conveniens and choice of law

No full textVarieties of Corporate Governance Models: A Review and Synthesis
No full textThis chapter reviews and synthesizes the models of corporate governance and assesses whether recent developments in corporate governance practices may lead to integrative corporate governance model. The chapter begins with the taxonomies of corporate governance: capital and labour-related dimensions. This followed by a critical review of three dominant models, Anglo-Saxon, Continental European and Japanese models. We then then attempt to evaluate the extent which globalization, past historical experiences affect the convergence of the models and influence practices in developing and emerging countries. We document that the Anglo-Saxon and Continental European models remain the dominant corporate governance systems worldwide. The argument often put forward by the researchers that globalization, financial crisis and regionalization would lead to convergence of corporate governance practices towards a harmonized model remains elusive. At best convergence is limited to the adoption of codes and principles of good corporate governance rather than implementation of best practices
Institutional perspectives on corporate governance reforms in Nigeria
No full textCorporate governance in developing countries is becoming noticeable in the extant literature. In this chapter, we review the development of the corporate governance discourse in Nigeria, paying attention to the challenges of promoting good governance standards through reforms. Relying on institutional theory as against the widely-engaged agency framework, we account for the institutional determinants of corporate governance reforms in Nigeria. We analyse the intricacies of the institutional context in developing countries and their complementarity (or deviance) with the prevailing corporate governance regulatory system
Delayed response to fludarabine in lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma/Waldenström's macroglobulinemia.
No full textWe retrospectively reviewed time to response and incidence of delayed responses
in 13 patients with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma/Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia
(LPL/WM) treated with fludarabine with or without cyclophosphamide. During follow-up post-treatment, seven delayed responses (54%) were observed, improving the initial overall response rate of 61% to a final response rate of 77%

No full textThe efficacy of alemtuzumab for refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia in relation to cytogenetic abnormalities of p53
No full textWe reviewed the efficacy of alemtuzumab in the treatment of 28 patients with refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in whom p53 status was known. Overall responses of 53.6% (complete responses 17.9%) were attained with no significant difference between patients with (50%) or without (55%) p53 deletion (p=0.214). We confirm the efficacy of alemtuzumab in refractory CLL irrespective of p53 deletions, and advocate its introduction earlier in disease course
