How British Columbia is greening health systems.

Greening the healthcare system one hospital at a time could take a long time. But with regionalization, whole health systems can begin to take on the task of becoming more environmentally friendly; this is now beginning in at least two of British Columbia’s regional health authorities. The Interior Health Authority (IHA) has established a Green Committee, chaired by their director of plant main...

How proportional are mixed compensatory electoral systems? Determining the necessary share of compensation mandates in mixed systems

Mixed compensatory systems (some call them “mixed-member proportional systems”), are praised for combining "the best of both worlds.” Yet, we know fairly little about their outcomes in practice. We still lack a genuine model that explains how many compensation seats are needed for the outcome to be proportional. Without this knowledge we will neither be able to estimate how many parties we expe...

How are postural strategies modified along the time?

Postural control is critical for effective performance of all goal-directed activities. For maintenance of postural equilibrium against gravity and environmental disturbances, central nervous system produces centrally organized patterns of muscle activity based on initial conditions, perturbation characteristics, learning and intention. These organized strategies are called "postural strategies...
