The institutional paradox of a substantivist conception of the economy in public policy: Insights from public procurement for solidarity economy in Ecuador

open access: yesAnnals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecuador's 2008 Constitution advanced an ambitious substantive economic vision through Buen Vivir (Good Living), recognizing a plural economy which encompasses private, public and solidarity economy (SE) sectors. This paper aims to analyze public procurement programs in Ecuador, one of the flagship Buen Vivir policies for SE promotion.

Substrate Preference of Black Soldier Fly Larvae Is Influenced by Rearing History

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
BSF larvae were reared under six different conditions: low, medium, or high larval density and on low, medium, and high‐water feeds to investigate feed choice behaviour. Larvae reared under all six conditions preferred substrate colonised by conspecifics. Low‐water feed caused slower larval growth and development.

Environmental Stress Drives Plasticity in Sexual Bimaturism in the Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens Linnaeus, 1758)

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We measured the plasticity in sexual bimaturism (SBM; differences between sexes in the timing of sexual maturity) in the black soldier fly (BSF) by exposing larvae to nutrient availability and humidity stress. Our results show that SBM can range between protandry and protogyny depending on the environmental quality. Additionally, we found the degree of

A Portable Multi‐Parameter Fluid Monitoring Unit for Real‐Time Measurements During Well Development and Geothermal Operations

open access: yesGroundwater Monitoring &Remediation, EarlyView.
Abstract Monitoring of fluid parameters during well development, groundwater production, or geothermal operation is essential for the understanding of subsurface and well processes. We developed FluMoMax, a portable fluid monitoring unit, that can measure several physicochemical parameters in real‐time, to monitor fluid characteristics and to enable ...
