Evolving (dis)engagement: analyzing employees' responses to sustainability initiatives through causal loop diagrams

open access: yesFrontiers in Sustainability
IntroductionThis study employed a systems thinking approach to explore the complex and dynamic interactions between sustainability initiatives, and employees' subsequent perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors.

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

Catalogue of rebound mechanisms represented in causal loop diagrams

open access: yes, 2023
This dataset includes the catalogue of 26 rebound mechanisms, i.e., structures leading to rebound effects (RE), based on qualitative system dynamics (SD) modelling using causal loop diagrams (CLD) identified in the literature.It is the supplementary data

The role of tobacco and alcohol use in the interaction of social determinants of non-communicable diseases in Nepal: a systems perspective

open access: yesBMC Public Health, 2020
Background Tobacco and alcohol use are major behavioural risks in developing countries like Nepal, which are contributing to a rapid increase in non-communicable diseases (NCDs).

Understanding social innovation in local energy transitions processes: A multi-case study

open access: yesGlobal Transitions, 2021
Social innovation (SI) in local energy transitions is gaining focus in current times but energy transitions have not yet been explicitly analysed in the context of SI.

Finding novel vulnerabilities of hypomorphic BRCA1 alleles

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Synthetic lethality screens performed to identify novel vulnerabilities often model complete gene loss, thereby overlooking patient‐derived hypomorphic mutations. In this study, we have performed genome‐wide CRISPR screens on BRCA1 hypomorphic mutations, showing BRCA1I26A behaves like wild‐type, while BRCA1R1699Q mimics deficiency. Furthermore, we have

Systems Thinking with Causal Loop Diagrams in Medical Education: An Exploratory Study

open access: yesSystems
Medical literature is replete with diagrammatic representations of systems, yet lacks standardised nomenclature and consistent symbolic conventions. In an introductory system dynamics course for health science students, causal loop diagrams (CLDs) are ...

Qualitative Causal Loop Diagram: One Health Model Conceptualizing Brucellosis in Jordan

open access: yesSystems, 2023
Background: Brucellosis is a serious public health problem distributed worldwide. Jordan has one of the highest incidences of brucellosis globally, mostly caused by infection with Brucella melitensis, which is associated with small, ruminant animals such as sheep.

A novel quinazolinone insulin receptor inhibitor and its synergy with an EGFR inhibitor in glucose‐driven glioblastoma

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The novel styrylquinazolinone‐based molecule W1B effectively suppresses glioblastoma by inhibiting IGF1R and EGFR. In high‐glucose microenvironments driving tumor resistance, W1B acts synergistically with the EGFR inhibitor dacomitinib. This combination safely blocks compensatory survival signaling in zebrafish xenograft models. Showcasing promising in

Characterizing Communication Channel Deadlocks in Sequence Diagrams [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
UML sequence diagrams (SDs) are a mainstay of requirements specifications for communication protocols. Mauw and Reniers' algebraic (MRA) semantics formally specifies a behaviour for these SDs that guarantees deadlock free processes.
