Understanding resource managers' perceptions of climate change, analytic capacity, and current adaptation activities can provide insight into what can help support adaptation processes at the local level. In California, where a major drought currently demonstrates some of the hardships that could be regularly encountered under a changing climate, we present results from a survey of drinking wat...

In rapidly changing environments, selection history may impact the dynamics of adaptation. Mutations selected in one environment may result in pleiotropic fitness trade-offs in subsequent novel environments, slowing the rates of adaptation. Epistatic interactions between mutations selected in sequential stressful environments may slow or accelerate subsequent rates of adaptation, depending on t...

conclusions findings of this research indicated that the roy’s adaptation model-guided education promoted the adaptation level of physiologic and role function modes in veterans with lower extremities amputation. however, this intervention could not promote adaptation in self-concept and interdependence modes. more intervention is advised based on roy’s adaptation model for improving the adapta...

This note examines the relationships between climate-related vulnerabilities, adaptation practices, institutions, and external interventions to show the role and importance of local institutions in climate change. It proposes an analytical framework to classify adaptation practices based on their relationship to different forms of environmental risks. It examines past adaptation responses to cl...

background in addition to physical adaptation and psychosocial adjustment to chronic renal disease, hemodialysis (hd) patients must also adapt to dialysis therapy plan. objectives the aim of the present study was to examine the effect of roy’s adaptation model-based patient education on adaptation of hd patients. patients and methods this study is a semi-experimental research that was conducted...

abstract background: stroke is a stressful event with several functional, physical, psychological, social, and economic problems that affect individuals’ different living balances. with coping strategies, patients try to control these problems and return to their natural life. the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a care plan based on roy adaptation model biological dimension on...
