Abstract:

The current paradigm for effective management in biodiversity conservation programmes is dominated by three broad streams of thinking: (i) traditional “command-and-control” approaches which are commonly observed in, but are not exclusive to, bureaucratic government-administered conservation, (ii) more recent notions of “adaptive management,” and (iii) emerging “good practice” management frameworks for conservation. Other variations on these themes suggested by the literature tend to endorse additions or enhancement to one or more of these approaches. We argue that instead a more fundamental al

Abstract:

The pre-built knowledge of traditional expert systems is only capable of limited responses to changes in the operating environment. If the data input is imperfect, a traditional system may fail to reach any rational conclusions. In this paper, we introduce the concept of self-adaptability to the inference process of an expert system, and propose a model that is capable of handling unexpected user input effectively and efficiently. Such a system can formulate operational knowledge on the move for inference. With this self-adaptive capability, an expert system can reach useful conclusions, even

Abstract:

Automation is being implemented in a variety of systems in an effort to improve performance and overcome high operator workload. Current automation approaches may underlie these problems by reducing operator situation awareness. Evidence suggests that in many ways current automation approaches fail to achieve the desired reduction in workload, yet the prevailing approach to system design is still to automate to reduce workload. An alternate design approach is presented that focuses on utilizing intermediate levels of automation (LOA) that integrate the human and the automated system in substan

Abstract:

AbstractMulti-agent systems are complex systems in which multiple autonomous entities, called agents, cooperate in order to achieve a common or personal goal. These entities may be computer software, robots, and also humans. In fact, many multi-agent systems are intended to operate in cooperation with or as a service for humans. Typically, multi-agent systems are designed assuming perfectly rational, self-interested agents, according to the principles of classical game theory. Recently, such strong assumptions have been relaxed in various ways. One such way is explicitly including principles d

Research on virtual teams (VTs) has proliferated in the last decades. However, few clear and consistent theoretical attempts to integrate the literature on VTs in a systemic way have emerged.

According to this general framework, VT effectiveness depends on the interaction between three levels of dynamics: local, global and contextual. Team cognition, trust, cohesion and conflict are described as states that emerge from the interactions among the VT members and as parts of globa

In the second part of the text “Becoming a posthuman systemic nomad”, I suggest ways in which systemic practitioners may become systemic nomads, reintegrating cybernetics and social constructionism and taking a new-materialist perspective on life. Systemic therapists may become “post human systemic nomads”, navigating and systemically learning in complex adaptive systems, in which we are relational responsible to all human and non-human actors in the networks that we produce and that we are produced by. Inspired by the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari I made three cartographies for us, syste

Abstract:

Abstract Glioblastoma (GBM) is a primary malignant brain tumor with a median survival under two years. The poor prognosis GBM caries is largely due to cellular invasion, which enables escape from resection and drives inevitable recurrence. Numerous factors have been proposed as the primary driving forces behind GBM’s ability to invade adjacent tissues rapidly, including alterations in its cellular metabolism. Though studies have investigated links between GBM’s metabolic profile and its invasive capabilities, these studies have had two notable limitations. First, while infiltrating GBM cells u

Abstract:

To solve the problem of automating the agroecological land estimation (natural resource potential) and creating intelligent information systems for their further programming, the necessary stage is the conceptualization of the domain knowledge (DK), or conceptual modelling. In this work, the conceptual model of DK “Agroecological properties of land”, developed on the basis of the abstract logical language UML and proposed in the previous part of the series of articles by the authors, is supplemented by the type of abstract objects “method”. The methods in UML reflect the types of relationships

AbstractClimate change, malnutrition, and noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are three of the most significant health challenges of this century, and they share fundamental underlying drivers. Pacific Island countries (PICs) are at the forefront of the impacts of climate change, which is likely to affect food and nutrition security (FNS) directly and indirectly, and many countries have existing high NCD burdens. This paper surveys the climate change adaptation (CCA) landscape in one PIC, Vanuatu. It explores the extent to which FNS and diet-related NCDs are considered and addressed within CCA ini

The Lembata region is known for complex environmental conflicts between local institutions and external interests to protect endangered species such as the dugong and sperm whale. In this paper, we examine how the Tokajaeng community applies traditional rules (muro) in the face of environmental threats to the commons, such as depletion of forests and mangroves, and degradation of coral reefs. Critical Institutional Analysis is applied to examine institutional arrangements governing the commons. The approach acknowledges the complexity of institutions entwined in everyday social life, power rel

Abstract:

The evolutionary mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 viruses adapt to mammalian hosts and, potentially, undergo antigenic evolution depend on the ways genetic variation is generated and selected within and between individual hosts. Using domestic cats as a model, we show that SARS-CoV-2 consensus sequences remain largely unchanged over time within hosts, while dynamic sub-consensus diversity reveals processes of genetic drift and weak purifying selection. We further identify a notable variant at amino acid position 655 in Spike (H655Y), which was previously shown to confer escape from human monoclo

SUMMARYIn order to reduce the environmental impact of agriculture and improve the resilience and sustainability of our food systems, there is an increasing interest in shifting from the present agricultural systems, which are characterized by high external inputs, to low-input productive systems characterized by high resilience and sustainability. Purposely developed varieties are needed for the latter. With the rapid disappearance of landraces, heterogeneous populations such as composite cross populations (CCPs) or line mixtures, developed through evolutionary plant breeding, could be the ide

Abstract:

Patient alarms occur frequently in hospitals, but they often do not require clinical intervention. As a result, clinicians can become desensitized to alarms and may fail to respond to them, including to alarms that are clinically relevant. Clinicians and researchers have investigated ways to make alarms more informative by adding delays (Gorges, Markewitz, & Westenskow, 2009) and developing ‘smart’ alarm systems (Imhoff, Kuhls, Gather, & Fried, 2009), but no approach has been universally accepted (for a review see Graham & Cvach, 2010).
