Where will the change come from? Identifying decision-relevant factors in future Land Use and Cover Change (Lucc) scenarios to support planning under uncertainty
Archetypes of social-ecological-technological systems for managing ecological infrastructure
The concept of ecological infrastructure (EI) as a lens for landscape management has the potential to address environmental challenges, such as biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation, by instrumentalizing Nature’s Contributions to People (NCP). NCPs stems from the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) and refers to the various ways in which the natural world provides benefits, values, and services that dir…
Remotely supervised at-home delivery of taVNS for autism spectrum disorder: Feasibility and initial efficacy
Remotely supervised, proxy-administered, at-home delivery of taVNS is feasible in patients with ASD. Initial efficacy supports pursuing larger scale trials
Implementation of maternal and perinatal death surveillance and response (MPDSR) in humanitarian settings: Insights and experiences of humanitarian health practitioners and global technical expert mee…

There is a need for guidance on MPDSR in humanitarian contexts, and for greater documentation and learning from experiences

In this commentary, we urgently call on all humanitarian actors to integrate the Mi…
Maternal health after Ebola: Unmet needs and barriers to healthcare in rural Sierra Leone
