Article Synopsis
- Effective social and ecological interventions are crucial to prevent ecosystem degradation and its negative effects on human well-being, with marine protected areas (MPAs) being a key strategy for sustainability.
- The challenge arises because MPAs are often managed by external parties, making it difficult to align them with local social and ecological contexts.
- The study introduces a framework to determine local goals for MPAs, utilizing a marine conservation project in the Philippines that evaluates local community and decision-maker perceptions on various aspects, aiming to enhance conservation efforts.
Background: Using an iterative user-centered design process, our team developed a patient-centered adaptive supportive care system, PatientCareAnywhere, that provides comprehensive biopsychosocial screening and supportive cancer care to patients across the continuum of care adaptively. The overarching goal of PatientCareAnywhere is to improve health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and self-efficacy of patients with cancer by empowering them with self-management skills and bringing cancer care support directly to them at home. Such support is adaptive to the patient's needs and health status and coordinated across multiple sources in the forms of referrals, education, engagement of community resources, and secure social communication.

The genus Asiatosuchus, established in 1940 based on a middle Eocene species from Mongolia, has subsequently served as a wastebasket taxon for Paleogene remains belonging to several species, not only from Asia but also belonging to the European and North American records. Many of these species are known by highly fragmentary remains, sharing the presence of characters such as a flat and triangular skull, and long symphyses in the lower jaw, recognized as characteristic for the crocodyloids.
