Why HR Has Failed to Address Healthcare's Workforce Crisis: The Need for a Systems Partner Role
Human Resource Management Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Attempts to remedy sustained workforce challenges facing healthcare organizations globally have been largely ineffective, despite increased political attention. In this paper we draw on contextually based human resource theory to explain why these challenges remain intractable.

Warm Spring Weather Alters Calling Phenology of Four Sympatric Early‐Breeding Anurans
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.An unusually warm March in 2024 (“false spring”) followed by freezing temperatures allowed us to assess the impact of a weather event on an amphibian community. The calling activity of all four species was associated with increasing temperature, and the first date of calling was advanced by 11–18 days.

Evaluation of Resistance to the Beech Scale Insect (Cryptococcus fagisuga) and Propagation of American Beech (Fagus grandifolia) by Grafting [PDF]
Silvae Genetica, 2007 Abstract Scions collected from diseased trees and from those without symptoms of beech bark disease (BBD) were cleft-grafted in 2003 and 2004 onto rootstock of unknown resistance to BBD. Grafting success varied among genotypes and year (30% in 2003 and 12% in 2004), and improved with increasing rootstock diameter. Successful grafts were

Network Structure and the Efficiency Gains from Mergers: Evidence from U.S. Freight Railroads
The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The trade‐off between market power and efficiency gains is central to antitrust analyses of mergers, but empirical evidence quantifying efficiencies remains limited. Using transaction‐level data from U.S. freight railroads (1985–2005), this article quantifies merger‐induced cost efficiencies, driven mainly by eliminating inter‐railroad ...

Partial harvest to reduce occurrence of American beech affected by beech bark disease: 10 year results [PDF]
Forestry: An International Journal of Forest Research, 2017 Beech bark disease stunts American beech (Fagus grandifolia Ehrh.) to unmerchantable size, and promotes heavy sprouting that outcompetes more desirable sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) and yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis Britt.). We investigated whether selection harvest targeting removal of large beech can promote maple and birch regeneration ...

Diverging conditions of current and potential future urban forest patches
Ecosphere, 2022 Forested natural areas in cities provide a range of social, ecological, economic, and health benefits. Ensuring the delivery of these benefits requires an understanding of current and potential future forest conditions, yet urban forest dynamics are not ...

Effects of restoration practices on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Several restoration practices are used to mitigate and compensate for the negative effects of large‐scale forestry on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests. A comprehensive synthesis of the benefits of these practices across taxa is missing. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis on this topic.

Saproxylic Diptera assemblages in a temperate deciduous forest: implications for community assembly [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Saproxylic insects, those associated directly or indirectly with decaying wood for all or part of their life cycle, compose a large proportion of forest organisms.

Landscape and Geography Determine Saproxylic Beetle Captures in Pheromone‐Baited Traps
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Pheromone‐baited traps at 39 forest sites across southern Sweden captured 58 saproxylic beetle species, including seven Red‐listed taxa. The effect of surrounding forest cover on beetle abundance may depend on latitude and longitude: positive effects were strongest in warmer southern and eastern regions but weakened or reversed in colder northwestern ...
