Why HR Has Failed to Address Healthcare's Workforce Crisis: The Need for a Systems Partner Role

open access: yesHuman 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.

Paired magnetic susceptibility and geochemistry of young volcanism in Iceland and Tengchong, China

open access: yesScientific Data
Two recent Quaternary volcanic provinces in Iceland and Tengchong, China were investigated with magnetic susceptibility and geochemistry. Despite their similar age, the two volcanic systems have different tectono–magmatic settings (influencing primary ...

Phylosymbiosis and Parallel Geographical Patterns in the Gut Microbiota of Desert‐Dwelling Amphibians and Reptiles

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Host species emerge as a significant contributor to interspecies variations in the gut microbiota of desert‐dwelling amphibians and reptiles, illustrating phylosymbiosis among the studied species. Geographical factors partially account for interpopulation variations in the gut microbiota of Bufotes pewzowi and Teratoscincus przewalskii, with parallel ...

Numerical investigation of the mechanical behaviours of a pair of rock bridges at diverse scales in direct shear

open access: yesScientific Reports
Rock bridges have long been recognised to provide crucial resistance against rock mass failure. Multiple rock bridges with diverse scales are widespread in natural rock masses.

Coevoluzionismo senza se e senza ma

open access: yesRivista di Estetica, 2010
The main aim of this paper is to analyze the relationship between brain and language in terms of coevolution. Nowadays, the thesis of coevolution is defended by the exponents of the neoculturalist paradigm to claim that language is the product of ...

Promoting cooperation in social dilemmas via simple coevolutionary rules

open access: yes, 2008
We study the evolution of cooperation in structured populations within popular models of social dilemmas, whereby simple coevolutionary rules are introduced that may enhance players abilities to enforce their strategy on the opponent.

Unravelling Evolutionary Dynamics of Female Sexual Cannibalism and Male Reproductive Strategies in Spiders

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Sexual cannibalism (SC), where one mating partner consumes the other in the context of mating, is especially prevalent among spiders. However, the evolution of SC in spiders is still not fully understood. We review key hypotheses for SC and explore how female‐initiated SC has driven the evolution of various male counter‐adaptations to mitigate its ...

Detectable Continental Crust in the Earth's Deep Interior Inferred From Thermodynamic Modeling

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Compelling evidence indicates that continental crust can subduct to >300 km and even enter the mantle transition zone (MTZ). However, detecting continental materials within the deep Earth is challenging due to our incomplete knowledge about their ...

Coevolving complex networks in the model of social interactions

open access: yes, 2016
We analyze Axelrod's model of social interactions on coevolving complex networks. We introduce four extensions with different mechanisms of edge rewiring.

Extreme Silk Toughness in Caerostris Spiders Is Limited to Adult Females

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We ask whether species with exceptionally tough silk, like Caerostris bark spiders, show different developmental patterns in silk toughness between ontogenetic stages and sexes. We found that only large females produce exceptionally tough silk with higher initial stiffness, while juvenile females as well as adult and juvenile males produce inferior ...
