Lessons from COVID-19 for managing transboundary climate risks and building resilience

Climate Risk Management, 2022
COVID-19 has revealed how challenging it is to manage global, systemic and compounding crises. Like COVID-19, climate change impacts, and maladaptive responses to them, have potential to disrupt societies at multiple scales via networks of trade, finance,

The impact of manganese on neurotransmitter systems

Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology, 2020
Manganese (Mn) is a metal ubiquitously present in nature and essential for many living organisms. As a trace element, it is required in small amounts for the proper functioning of several important enzymes, and reports of Mn deficiency are indeed rare.This mini-review will cover aspects of Mn toxicokinetics and its impact on brain neurotransmission, as

The impact of narcoterrorism on HRM systems [PDF]

The International Journal of Human Resource Management, 2015
This paper presents a study on the emergence of human resource management (HRM) systems in a narcoterrorism context based on a mixed-method approach. We conducted 40 interviews at 24 firms in Mexico to explore emerging HRM systems in narcoterrorism environments.

An Investigation Into Environmental Impact of System of Systems

Procedia CIRP, 2019
Abstract Traditionally, environmental impact of products is considered as a function of the product itself. However, products can only function not only within their own system, but by dynamically interacting with other systems, hence all together they form a network of System of Systems (SoSs). In this context, not only the individual product system

Sexual dimorphic impacts of systemic vincristine on lower urinary tract function

Scientific Reports, 2022
Vincristine (VCR) is one of the most common chemotherapy agents used in pediatric oncology. Despite the well-known VCR-induced peripheral neuropathy, potential impacts of VCR on lower urinary tract (LUT) function remain poorly defined.

The Impact of Obesity on the Cardiovascular System [PDF]

Journal of Diabetes Research, 2018
Obesity is a growing health problem worldwide. It is associated with an increased cardiovascular risk on the one hand of obesity itself and on the other hand of associated medical conditions (hypertension, diabetes, insulin resistance, and sleep apnoea syndrome). Obesity has an important role in atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease.

Closing the ‘operationalisation gap’: Insights from systemic risk research to inform transformational adaptation and risk management

Climate Risk Management, 2023
Recent research has shown that adverse risks associated with climate and global change are becoming increasingly systemic with mounting interdependencies that will likely lead to cascading impacts.

The impact of the nanoscale on computing systems [PDF]

ICCAD-2005. IEEE/ACM International Conference on Computer-Aided Design, 2005., 2005
Nanoscale technologies provide both challenges and opportunities. We show that the issues and potential solutions facing designers are technology independent and arise mainly from shrinking device sizes and an increase in the number of devices available. We explore how it is possible to use some of the devices that will be available to help ease design

Alcohol’s Impact on the Cardiovascular System [PDF]

Nutrients, 2021
Alcohol consumption has been shown to have complex, and sometimes paradoxical, associations with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Several hundred epidemiological studies on this topic have been published in recent decades. In this narrative review, the epidemiological evidence will be examined for the associations between alcohol consumption, including ...

Trustworthiness, Not Trust: How Systemic Racism Impacts COVID-19 Vaccine Receipt

Health Equity, 2023
To illuminate the forces of structural racism influencing COVID-19 vaccine receipt, we developed a conceptual model that recontextualizes trust and presents potential pathways to address structural racism.
