Challenges to Implementing Environmental-DNA Monitoring in Namibia

Implementing the Nursing Process in Gynaecology Wards in Namibia

Since its implementation in 1985, the nursing process in Namibia – for unknown reasons – had been utilised with difficulty. The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of a programme to operationalise the nursing process in gynaecology wards in Namibia. A qualitative, explorative, descriptive and contextual design was used to perform this study. Seven in-depth interviews were condu...

Letter to Editor: Challenges of Implementing Disaster Preparedness Plan in Iran Hospitals

Monitoring endangered freshwater biodiversity using environmental DNA.

Freshwater ecosystems are among the most endangered habitats on Earth, with thousands of animal species known to be threatened or already extinct. Reliable monitoring of threatened organisms is crucial for data-driven conservation actions but remains a challenge owing to nonstandardized methods that depend on practical and taxonomic expertise, which is rapidly declining. Here, we show that a di...

Environmental challenges to color constancy

Theories of human color constancy have been based on experiments with relatively simple laboratory stimuli. Even recent “nearly natural” stimuli are optically much simpler than natural visual environments. I review here some of the complexity of natural visual environments. I argue that several kinds of optical structure exploited by theories of human color constancy may not occur in most natur...
