Boat to bowl: resilience through network rewiring of a community-supported fishery amid the COVID-19 pandemic

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2021
Fisheries are coupled human–natural systems locally, regionally, and globally. However, human–nature interactions within and between adjacent and distant systems (metacouplings) are rarely studied in fisheries despite their prevalence and policy ...

Addressing Complex Challenges in Coupled Natural and Human Systems Through Principled Pragmatism: A Case Study From Bangladesh

open access: yesFrontiers in Water, 2021
Some of the most persistent challenges facing society and the environment arise from an intricate coupling of natural and human systems (CNHS). These challenges resist traditional expert-driven problem-solving approaches and require a careful synthesis ...

Modelling the Minsky triad: A framework to perform reflexive MandS studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In this paper, we propose a general framework to evaluate models of systems that are ill defined, incompletely known, and furthermore, which cannot be experimented in real conditions, such as the economical systems at the country scale, epidemics (for ...

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

Practical Points for the Software Development of an Agent-Based Model of a Coupled Human-Natural System

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2016
Modeling complex natural and human systems to support policy or management decision making is becoming increasingly common. The resulting models are often designed and implemented by researchers or domain experts with limited software engineering ...
