Assessment of the local communities’ knowledge on mangrove ecology
The Kuala Selangor mangrove forest are facing massive reclamation for economic development but the conservation aspect and fisheries values of mangroves have been ignored in the decision-making process. The local community support and awareness of the mangrove forest conservation are still doubtful. The aim of the study is to analyse the local community perception on the mangrove forest conserv...
متن کاملHow the Nonextensivity Parameter Affects Energy Fluctuations
In this article, the effect of the nonextensivity parameter on the energy fluctuations of nonextensive systems is studied in two different versions of the Tsallis statistical mechanics. Once a general expression has been reported for the energy fluctuations in the second version (Tsallis work in 1988), the energy fluctuations of an ideal gas and a harmonic oscillator are studied in the second a...
متن کاملA challenging system: Free energy prediction for factor Xa
Factor Xa (fXa) is a promising target for antithrombotic drugs. Recently, we presented a molecular dynamics study on fXa, which highlighted the need for a careful system setup to obtain stable simulations. Here, we show that these simulations can be used to predict the free energy of binding of several fXa inhibitors. We tested molecular mechanics/Poisson-Boltzmann surface area, molecular mecha...
متن کاملHow can we build skills to transform the healthcare system ?
Across the world, healthcare organisations are implementing radical change strategies in the face of unprecedented financial challenge. In this context, a focus on building capacity and capability for improvement is a key strategy. Global analysis shows that the most common characteristic of healthcare organisations that deliver outstanding performance in cost and quality is a systematic approa...
متن کاملChallenging issues in local privatization
Introduction Analysis of local privatization is giving increasing relevance to the insights provided by transaction costs and industrial organization theories. These theories point to the importance of a sector's market structure and incentives as the key factors explaining differences between sectors and dynamics within sectors. By focusing on incentives we see how contracting creates pressure...
