Conservation has a problem. The disparities between the Global North and South lead to neocolonial behaviors, inefficiencies setbacks, hinder forward progress on our overarching objectives of protecting planet its inhabitants. One characterization, manifestation, this general issue is as parachute science (de Vos, 2020; Stefanoudis et al., 2021). Parachute occurs when researchers from work in w...

Abstract Among the most pressing issues that remain unresolved in process of negotiating a new international legally binding instrument ( ILBI ) on biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction BBNJ are institutional arrangements, as they underpin treaty whole. This article seeks to shed light question what shape should take, by closely analysing pluralistic governance model is reflected Draft text...

This paper explores the use of Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) material for strengthening of steel bridges. The research work includes an experimental program to study the effectiveness of using very small diameter CFRP strands, configured in a sheet format, for strengthening of steel structures. The experimental program includes scaled steel-concrete composite beams strengthened with th...

Given predictions of a looming shortfall in nursing human resources and the need for strong leaders to meet the challenges of sustaining and managing the healthcare of Canadians in the face of this crisis, a focus on leadership development becomes critical. Canada needs a new cohort of leaders in nursing and healthcare, as the current cohort is fast approaching retirement. Today’s cohort of nur...

The deductive method reduces verification of safety properties of programs to, first, proposing inductive assertions and, second, proving the validity of the resulting set of first-order verification conditions. We discuss the transition from verification conditions to verification constraints that occurs when the deductive method is applied to parameterized assertions instead of fixed expressi...

This paper reports a set of results based on the spectral and EPG measurements to the read speech copra in Mandarin Chinese, aim at the observation on the relationship between articulatory strengthening and prosody hierarchy. The data obtained both from acoustic and physiological measurements indicate that, articulatory manifestation of any segment in real speech are closely relevant to their p...

Analysis of covariance serves two main purposes in the analysis of clinical trials. It provides for a more powerful statistical test through variance reduction for comparison of treatment groups; and it addresses comparisons between randomized groups with adjustment for random imbalance of covariates. Certain methods of covariance analysis such as logistic regression for ordinal response data a...

The concept of primary healthcare was brought to the world’s attention in a consolidated manner by the Declaration of Alma-Ata in 1978. This asserted that the overall wellbeing of all people could be achieved through a comprehensive primary healthcare approach that takes into account the broader socioeconomic determinants of health and is driven by governments using practical, scientifically so...

Simple, universally applicable strategies can help any captchaprotected system resist automated attacks and can improve the ability of administrators to detect attacks. The strategies discussed here cause an exponential increase in the difficulty faced by automated attackers, while only increasing the inconvenience for human users in an approximately linear manner. These strategies are characte...

We wish to reexamine —in the wake of R. E. Vesley's Γ7] —the question of converting so-called structural and intelim rules for PC/, the intuitionistic sequenzen-kalkύl of Gentzen, into rules for PCc, the classical sequenzenkalkίil. We shall limit ourselves here to sequenzen or turnstile statements of the form Al9 A2, . . . , An h B, where Au A2, . . . , An, (n s* 0), and B are wff s consisting ...
