This paper explores the phenomenon of distributivity manifest in ellipsis in Chinese. It will be proposed that in addition to standard syntactical distributivity projection a distributive reading also results from a focus projection that involves anaphoric relations from context. A distributive reading will occur if an elided string is anaphorically associated with a previous discourse that sha...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to assess whether organizational justice lowers productivity loss and sickness absence, and whether there are reverse effects of productivity loss and sickness absence on organizational justice. METHOD A longitudinal study with 2 years of follow-up was conducted among employed persons aged 45-64 years from the Study on Transitions in Employment, Ability and M...

y Abstract In this paper we address the problem of encoding evaluation strategies for the-calculus into prime event structures. In order for this to be possible the derivation spaces yielded by the evaluation mechanism must be prime algebraic cpo's. This requirement is not met by permutation equivalence (the standard concurrent semantics with which-calculus is equipped) since the derivation spa...

We show how to understand frame semantics of distributive substructural logics coalgebraically, thus opening a possibility to study them as coalgebraic logics. As an application of this approach we prove a general version of Goldblatt-Thomason theorem that characterizes definability of classes of frames for logics extending the distributive Full Lambek logic, as e.g. relevance logics, many-valu...

the role of taxes in reduction of economic, inequalities, has been a controversial subject in recent decades. destructive effects of progressive taxes on efficiency and problems of tax compliance, have been considered in tax reform programs worldwide. introduction of an islamic income tax system; with all its progressive features, and its popularity seems to be effective in correcting the distr...

Contrary to conventional wisdom, few autocrats rely exclusively, or even principally, on repression to survive. Instead, they exploit a variety of distributive strategies, buying popular support and co-opting elite challengers as necessary. According to existing theory, however, none of these strategies should involve targeted goods to politically disenfranchised minorities or other marginalize...

In this note, we show that any distributive lattice is isomorphic to the set of reachable configurations of an Edge Firing Game. Together with the result of James Propp, saying that the set of reachable configurations of any Edge Firing Game is always a distributive lattice, this shows that the two concepts are equivalent.

This paper tests three competing hypotheses on the relative importance of distributive and procedural justice in predicting satisfaction with productivity gainsharing. The analysis provides support for one of the hypotheses, which states that the payout will determine which type of fairness (procedural or distributive) is more predictive of gainsharing satisfaction.
