Fishing, predation, and temperature drive herring decline in a large marine ecosystem
Daniel G. Boyce · Brian Petrie · Kenneth T. Frank · 2021-12 · Ecology and Evolution
Abstract Since 1960, landings of Atlantic herring have been the greatest of any marine species in Canada, surpassing Atlantic cod and accounting for 24% of the total seafood harvested in Atlantic Canada. The Scotian Shelf‐Bay of Fundy herring fisheries (NAFO Division 4VWX) is among Canada's oldest and drives this productivity, accounting for up to 75% of the total herring catch in some years. The stocks’ productivity…

Experimental Models to Study Skin Wound Healing with a Focus on Angiogenesis
Eberhard Grambow · Heiko Sorg · Christian G. G. Sorg · Daniel Strüder · 2021-08 · Medical Sciences
A large number of models are now available for the investigation of skin wound healing. These can be used to study the processes that take place in a phase-specific manner under both physiological and pathological conditions. Most models focus on wound closure, which is a crucial parameter for wound healing. However, vascular supply plays an equally important role and corresponding models for selective or parallel in…

The Outlines of a Possible Pension System Funded with Human Capital
József Banyár · 2021-04 · Risks
The broadly used pay-as-you-go (PAYG) pension system is intrinsically wrong. The essence of the problem is that the PAYG system distributes the yield of raising children, i.e., of human capital investment (which is essentially the pension contribution), in such a way that it disregards the extent to which individuals have contributed to this, and even whether it has occurred at all. This error can be corrected if we …
