Understanding potential trajectories in health and drivers of is crucial to guiding long-term investments policy implementation. Past work on forecasting has provided an incomplete landscape future scenarios, highlighting a need for more robust modelling platform from which options can be assessed. This study provides novel approach life expectancy, all-cause mortality cause death forecasts -and alternative scenarios-for 250 causes 2016 2040 195 countries territories.We modelled groups...
BackgroundIn September, 2015, the UN General Assembly established Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs specify 17 universal goals, 169 targets, and 230 indicators leading up to 2030. We provide an analysis of 33 health-related SDG based on Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study 2015 (GBD 2015).MethodsWe applied statistical methods systematically compiled data estimate performance for 188 countries from 1990 2015. rescaled each indicator a scale 0 (worst observed value...
Chronological and replicative aging have been studied in yeast as alternative paradigms for post-mitotic mitotic aging, respectively. It has known more than a decade that cells of the S288C background aged chronologically rich medium reduced lifespan relative to young cells. Here we report replication this observation diploid BY4743 strain background. We further show reduction from chronological is accelerated when are under standard conditions synthetic complete rather medium. The loss...
Abstract Many caribou populations in Canada face extirpation despite dozens of provincial and federal legislative instruments designed to protect them. How are industrial developments that impact justified permitted governments' commitments protection? Toward an answer, this paper scrutinizes approval process for major projects Canada: environmental assessment (EA). We identify 65 EAs with potentially significant adverse impacts caribou—all but one were approved. The results show most...
There is growing evidence that stochastic events play an important role in determining individual longevity. Studies model organisms have demonstrated genetically identical populations maintained under apparently equivalent environmental conditions display variation life span can be modeled by the Gompertz-Makeham law of mortality. Here, we report within haploid and diploid wild-type populations, shorter-lived cells tend to arrest a budded state, while unbudded state are significantly...
Globalization entwines human lives with distant fields and forests. In response, our approach to land is relational yet also computational. We calculate map intricate connections among uses populations mediated by both commodity chains capital, thereby unpacking, deepening, extending, pluralizing recent methods estimating footprints of consumption. After constructing networks approximately 130 million direct uses, economic activities, peoples the world in 2007, we trace infinities indirect...
In a time of accelerating ecological crises, captive care performed by zoos and aquariums increasingly plays central controversial role in attempts to resuscitate species ecosystems rapidly disappearing from the planet. Here I use Giant Pacific octopus ( Enteroctopus dofleini) exhibit at Vancouver Aquarium examine practices involved capture prominent Canadian institution. As trace how octopuses come people work keep them alive healthy this environment, complex ways violence domination...
