Altamirano, Tomás; Novoa, Fernando; Ibarra, José Tomás; Navarrete, Sergio; Bonacic, Cristián; Martin, Kathy, 2024, "Tree cavity density is a limiting factor for a secondary cavity nester in second-growth Andean temperate rainforests", https://doi.org/10.5683/SP3/DRKW1K, Borealis, V1
Abstract Cavity-nesting bird populations are most frequently limited by the number of tree cavities available in second-growth forests. However, this possible limitation of a key resource is less clear in old-growth forests. We compared forest attributes (i.e., basal area, densit... |

Wiens, Matthew O.; Jacob, Shevin T.; Kabajaasi, Olive; Kenya Mugisha, Nathan, 2024, "Smart Discharges Program for children with sepsis in Uganda: a qualitative program evaluation", https://doi.org/10.5683/SP3/VAKMMD, Borealis, V1
Background: Pediatric sepsis continues to be a significant burden in low- and middle-income countries. Studies have shown that in-hospital mortality is equal to, and sometimes exceeds, mortality during the post-discharge period. These facts call for a concerted action to improve... |

Ran, Guangxiu, 2024, "Balancing Growth and Conservation: The potential of Density Transfer Modelling in Bowen Island's Urban Planning", https://doi.org/10.5683/SP3/FCB8RQ, Borealis, V1
The rapid population growth in British Columbia has led to the necessity of innovative housing solutions. Local municipalities in BC, such as Bowen Island, are exploring the implementation of Density Transfer Modelling (DTM) as a planning tool to address these challenges. The stu... |

Wiens, Matthew O; Toliva,Opar Bernard; Nsungwa-Sabiiti, Jesca; Mwaka, Savio; Komugisha, Clare; Nyalwal, Beatrice Lydiah Adhiambo; Bone, Jeffrey; Nguyen, Vuong; Kenya-Mugisha, Nathan, 2024, "Smart Discharges for vulnerable refugee children: a cohort study to validate prognostic algorithms for post-discharge readmission and mortality among children living in refugee settings", https://doi.org/10.5683/SP3/KCFQ9U, Borealis, V1
Background: In many African countries, pediatric post-discharge mortality following in-hospital treatment for severe infectious illness is higher than in-hospital mortality (5-8%). Risk algorithms can be used to help health workers identify those most vulnerable to poor post-disc... |

Wiens, Matthew O; Tagoola, Abner; Kissoon, Niranjan; Ansermino, J Mark; Oyella Sherine, Sheila; Byaruhanga, Emmanuel; Ssemwanga, Edwards; Zhang, Cherri; Nguyen, Vuong; Bone, Jeffery N; Kenya Mugisha, Nathan; Kumbakumba, Elias; Kabakyenga, Jerome, 2024, "Smart Discharges to improve pediatric post-discharge survival", https://doi.org/10.5683/SP3/BGSQKD, Borealis, V1
Background: In Sub-Saharan Africa, pediatric post-discharge death is increasingly recognized as an important contributor to mortality. Current studies evaluating interventional approaches for post-discharge mortality focus on pharmacologic therapy, though only malaria prophylaxis... |

Umuhoza, Christian; Hooft, Anneka; Uwiragiye, Emmanuel; Kornblith, Aaron; Wiens, Matthew O, 2024, "Smart Discharges to improve post-discharge health outcomes in children in Rwanda", https://doi.org/10.5683/SP3/NTNTZX, Borealis, V1
Background: The Smart Discharges studies in Uganda have enrolled over 10,000 children under-five with sepsis and have shown that death after hospital discharge occurs in 5-8% of patients, which is as common as death during the primary admission. The Smart Discharges evidence-base... |

Branch, Haley A.; Moxley, Dylan R.; Angert, Amy L., 2024, "Regional differences in leaf evolution facilitate photosynthesis following severe drought", https://doi.org/10.5683/SP3/3CTEF9, Borealis, V1
Abstract Characterizing physiological and anatomical changes that underlie rapid evolution following climatic perturbation can broaden our understanding of how climate change is affecting biodiversity. It can also provide evidence of cryptic adaptation despite stasis at higher le... |

Background: In many low-income countries, over five percent of hospitalized children die following hospital discharge. The lack of available tools to identify those at risk of post-discharge mortality has limited the ability to make progress towards improving outcomes. We aimed t... |
