This article examines the conceptual framework of neo-Darwinism, including the concepts of 'gene', 'selfish', 'code', 'program', 'blueprint', 'book of life', 'replicator' and 'vehicle'.

متن کاملGovernance and Capacity to Manage Resilience of Health Systems: Towards a New Conceptual Framework
The term resilience has dominated the discourse among health systems researchers since 2014 and the onset of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.

The present paper presents a new conceptual framework on go...
