Introduction The prevalence of chronic illnesses and polypharmacy has made medication safety complex. While interprofessional collaboration has been proposed as a strategy to improve medication safety and pharmacotherapy, little is known about the barriers and enablers that influence its implementation in this context. This study aims to identify these barriers and enablers, using the Interprofessional Education for Collaborat...
Photoperiodic insensitivity has been the selected trait that allowed cultivation of potato outside its centre of origin, to the northern latitudes of Europe and North America. More than a decade ago, Solanum tuberosum CYCLING DOF FACTOR 1 ( StCDF1 ) was identified as the maturity locus, regulating both above and below-ground maturity traits, also referred to as life cycle length and tuberization onset. Following its identifica...
The Quest for the Sli LocusNARA Subscribed
Genetic gain in potato breeding is limited by the heterozygous tetraploid genome of cultivated potato. Recent efforts to breed potato at the diploid level promise to improve genetic gain and allow more straightforward genetics and introgression breeding. Diploid F1 hybrid potato breeding relies on the ability to create diploid inbred lines via repeated self-fertilization. However, self-fertilization of diploid potato is hamper...
Physical exercise is a promising intervention to improve brain white matter integrity. In the PAM study, exercise intervention effects on white matter integrity were investigated in breast cancer patients. Chemotherapy-treated breast cancer patients with cognitive problems were randomized 2–4 years post-diagnosis to an exercise ( n = 91) or control group ( n = 90). The 6-month exercise intervention consisted of four hours/week...
Successful deployment of geological carbon storage (GCS) requires an extensive use of reservoir simulators for screening, ranking and optimization of storage sites. However, the time scales of GCS are such that no sufficient long-term data is available yet to validate the simulators against. As a consequence, there is currently no solid basis for assessing the quality with which the dynamics of large-scale GCS operations can b...
Predicting Earth Orientation Parameters (EOP) is crucial for precise positioning and navigation both on the Earth’s surface and in space. In recent years, many approaches have been developed to forecast EOP, incorporating observed EOP as well as information on the effective angular momentum (EAM) derived from numerical models of the atmosphere, oceans, and land-surface dynamics. The Second Earth Orientation Parameters Predicti...
Topoclimate and diurnal cycle of summer rain over the Ethiopian highlands in a convection‐permitting simulationNARA Subscribed
Topoclimate, orographically enhanced rain on windward slopes and leeward rain shadows, control rainfall variability in tropical mountains. Such variability may cause a substantial societal impact in populated highlands such as in Ethiopia. This study aims at understanding the rainfall diurnal cycle and the orographic driving factors over the Ethiopian highlands using the ALARO‐0 regional climate model at convection‐permitting...
EurOP2E – the European Open Platform for Prescribing Education, a consensus study among clinical pharmacology and therapeutics teachersNARA Subscribed
Purpose Sharing and developing digital educational resources and open educational resources has been proposed as a way to harmonize and improve clinical pharmacology and therapeutics (CPT) education in European medical schools. Previous research, however, has shown that there are barriers to the adoption and implementation of open educational resources. The aim of this study was to determine perceived opportunities and barrier...
Integrating knowledge on biophysical and socioeconomic potential to map clusters for future milk production in EthiopiaNARA Subscribed
Despite growing milk demand and imports, market-oriented milk production and formal processing in Ethiopia is limited to areas around Addis Ababa, notwithstanding its competing land use demand. This study assessed biophysical and market potential for developing the dairy sector, characterizing Ethiopian dairy clusters. Biophysical data from geographic information system (GIS) sources and information from key informants were co...
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open accessNARA Subscribed
Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodivers...
Evaluation of CORDEX rainfall in northwest Ethiopia: Sensitivity to the model representation of the orographyNARA Subscribed
Precipitation amounts of 11 models of the Coordinated Regional climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) are evaluated for northwest Ethiopia against eight sets of gridded observational data sets. The model runs are forced with ERA‐Interim reanalysis and have a resolution of 0.44° while the resolution of the observational data sets varies between 0.0375 and 0.75°. Although the CORDEX ensemble mean overestimates the monthly preci...
Large‐scale impact of climate change vs. land‐use change on future biome shifts in Latin AmericaNARA Subscribed
Climate change and land‐use change are two major drivers of biome shifts causing habitat and biodiversity loss. What is missing is a continental‐scale future projection of the estimated relative impacts of both drivers on biome shifts over the course of this century. Here, we provide such a projection for the biodiverse region of Latin America under four socio‐economic development scenarios. We find that across all scenarios 5...
