Ecosystem accounting has been advocated as a potential ‘game changer’ for managing the environment and economy was recently standardised by United Nations (UN) in System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA-EA). However, Indigenous Peoples, their lands, values, knowledge have not explicitly included SEEA-EA. With more than 40% global land under some form management or tenure, this omissio...

The United Nations System of Environmental and Economic Accounting - Ecosystem (SEEA EA) is a geospatial approach, whereby existing data on ecosystem stocks flows are collated to show changes over time. framework has been proposed as means track monitor restoration targets across the EU. Condition key consideration in conservation assessment habitats protected under EU Habitats Directive condit...

Incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EA) has increased substantially in recent decades. Multiple risk factors have been identified for EA and its precursor, Barrett's esophagus (BE), such as reflux, European ancestry, male sex, obesity, and tobacco smoking, and several germline genetic variants were recently associated with disease risk. Using data from the Barrett's and Esophageal Adenocarc...

OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on early post-rupture tendon repair in a rat model of Achilles tendon rupture using histological and mechanical evaluation. METHODS An Achilles tendon rupture model was prepared in 90 Wistar rats, which were randomly assigned to EA, manual acupuncture or control groups. Rats in the EA group received EA (pulse width 5 ms; stimulation f...

Empathic accuracy (EA)-the correct assessment of the affective states and thoughts of a social partner-affects social behavior and the outcome of interpersonal interactions. Growing evidence has shown that interpersonal power of a perceiver affects EA when assessing a target. This picture, however, is not obvious; there is evidence supporting both the idea that power can improve EA or impair it...

Many attempts have been made to address the relation between antisocial behavior and executive function deficits. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate executive functions in juvenile delinquents with developmental disabilities by using the Behavioral Assessment of the Dysexecutive Syndrome (BADS), and then cross referencing this to their performance on Wechsler IQ Test, Das Naglieri Cogn...

DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS The China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Biological Medicine Database, Chinese Scientific Journal Database, Cochrane Library, Me...

Breast cancer (BrCA) is the most common cancer affecting women around the world. However, it does not arise from the same causative agent among all women. Genetic markers have been associated with heritable or familial breast cancers, which may or may not be confounded by environmental factors, whereas sporadic breast cancer cases are more likely attributable to environmental exposures. Approxi...

OBJECTIVES The hypoalgesic effect of electroacupuncture (EA) was directly compared with the analgesic effect of pharmacological interventions using the submaximum effort tourniquet technique (SETT). METHODS 125 healthy subjects (mean age 24.44±4.46 years; 62.4% female, 37.6% male) performed SETT at baseline and under one of five experimental conditions (n=25 per group): EA (2 Hz with burst pu...

The System of Environmental-Economic Accounting - Ecosystem (SEEA EA) provides an integrated statistical framework which organizes spatially explicit data on environmental quality, natural capital and ecosystem services links this information to economic activities such as agriculture. In paper we assess how the SEEA EA can support monitoring evaluation objectives Common Agricultural Policy (CA...
