Sustainable development has always been the objective of many fields, including the tourism and transportation sector. However, a major part of this sector, the airline industry, deals with many negative impacts, such as air pollution, noise, CO2 emission, and labor practice. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a strategic business activity that can enhance the sustainability of the airlin...

The Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) was calculated globally using gridded monthly air temperature and precipitation. From 1900 to 1995, there are large multiyear to decadal variations in the percentage areas in severe drought (PDSI < −3.0) and severe moisture surplus (PDSI > +3.0) over many land areas while secular trends are small. Since the late 1970s, however, there have been some incre...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to examine how income-related inequalities in screening services for gastric and colorectal cancer in Korea have changed over the past decades, along with the implementation of the national cancer screening program, and also to quantify each contribution from various socio-demographic factors income-related inequalities with respect to these cancer screening services...

PURPOSE Effective trauma resuscitation requires efficient and coordinated care from a team of providers; however, providers are rarely instructed on how to be effective members of trauma teams. Team-based learning using Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety (TeamSTEPPS) has been shown to improve team dynamics among practicing professionals, including physicians and...

analysis on the 15-channel instrument. Consequently, erythrocyte indices can be measured, when indicated, afteranalysison the 15-channelinstrument. In summary, we have demonstrated that screening for GPD deficiency and hemoglobin S isfeasibleat a rateof 120/hour when coupled to the 15-channel instrument. The reverse-washout cycle on the sample probe of the bloodtyping instrument obviates sample...

The South Asian Monsoon and mid-latitude Westerlies are two important controls on Tibetan Plateau (TP) fresh water resources. Understanding their interaction requires long-term information on spatial patterns in moisture variability on the TP. Here we develop a network of 23 moisture-sensitive tree-ring chronologies from major juniper forests in a north-south transect on the eastern TP. Over th...
