متن کاملThe pathologist in the 21st century--generalist or specialist?
Virchow and his fellow pioneers were active in the 19th century, but pathologists are largely a creation of the 20th century and have really only been present in numbers in the second half of the century. In the United Kingdom the development of the National Health Service over this period has seen the development and expansion of hospital laboratories. This development process has been one of ...
متن کاملDistribution of specialist and generalist species along spatial gradients of habitat disturbance and fragmentation
In this paper, we tested whether the spatial distribution of a given species in more or less fragmented and disturbed landscapes depends on the species habitat specialization. We studied 891 spatial replicates from the French Breeding Bird Survey (FBBS) monitored at least two years during 2001 2005, and two independent landscape databases measuring respectively landscape fragmentation and recen...
متن کاملGeneralist versus specialist occupational therapists.
The issue is not generalist versus specialist, bachelor's degree versus master's degree, or even registered occupational therapist versus certified occupational therapy assistant. The issue is: What is each professional's product? What is the process by which each produces it? What knowledge, skills, and judgment do each need to competently produce the product? And, under what circumstances and...

Given the far-ranging adverse impacts of climate change, adaptation must be an integral component of an effective strategy to address climate change, along with mitigation. Adaptation should be approached as an opportunity to rethink development as usual, and should be based on “upstream” interventions that will yield benefi ts regardless of specifi c, climate-related events in the future. This...
