TL;DR: An understanding of island colonization and diversification can best be developed from an ecosystem level synthesis as more data for the Canarian archipelago come to hand.
Abstract: Recently, the Canary Islands have become a focus for studies of the colonization and the diversification of different organisms. Some authors have considered Canarian endemisms as relicts of Tertiary origin, but new molecular data suggest a general pattern of continental dispersion followed by in situ speciation. Recent phylogeographic studies are revealing variants of the simple stepping-stone colonization model that seems to hold for many Hawaiian groups. Many factors can generate deviations from such a pattern: the stochastic nature of colonization, competitive exclusion, phylogenetic constraints on adaptive evolution and extinction. An understanding of island colonization and diversification can best be developed from an ecosystem level synthesis as more data for the Canarian archipelago come to hand.

TL;DR: Acetylcysteine is safe and effective in fulminant hepatic failure after paracetamol overdose, and rates of deterioration and recovery of liver function were similar in the two groups.
Abstract: OBJECTIVE--To see whether intravenous acetylcysteine would improve outcome in patients with fulminant hepatic failure after paracetamol overdose. DESIGN--A prospective randomised controlled study. SETTING--The Institute of Liver Studies, King's College Hospital, London. PATIENTS--50 consecutive patients (21 male) aged 16-60 with fulminant hepatic failure after paracetamol overdose who had not previously received acetylcysteine. INTERVENTIONS--Conventional intensive liver care plus either acetylcysteine (25 patients) in the same dose regimen as used early after a paracetamol overdose, except that the infusion was continued until recovery from encephalopathy or death, or an equivalent volume of 5% dextrose (25 patients). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES--Survival; incidence of cerebral oedema, renal failure, and hypotension requiring inotropic support; liver function as assessed by prolongation of the prothrombin time; and degree of encephalopathy. RESULTS--The rate of survival was significantly higher in the acetylcysteine treated group than in the controls (48% (12/25 patients) v 20% (5/25); p = 0.037, 95% confidence interval for difference in proportions surviving 3% to 53%). Acetylcysteine treated patients had a lower incidence of cerebral oedema (40% (10/25) v 68% (17/25); p = 0.047, 95% confidence interval for difference in incidence 2% to 54%), and fewer developed hypotension requiring inotropic support (48% (12/25) v 80% (20/25); p = 0.018, 95% confidence interval 7% to 57%). Rates of deterioration and recovery of liver function, however, were similar in the two groups. No adverse reactions to acetylcysteine were seen. CONCLUSIONS--Acetylcysteine is safe and effective in fulminant hepatic failure after paracetamol overdose.

TL;DR: Approaches to identifying more of the earth’s biological diversity; understanding how biological, geophysical, and geochemical processes interact; and presenting scientific knowledge in time to contribute to and achieve the 2010 target are described.
Abstract: Governments are often accused of responding only to short-term and parochial considerations. It is therefore remarkable that representatives of 190 countries recently committed themselves at the Convention on Biological Diversity to reducing biodiversity loss. This presents conservation biologists with perhaps their greatest challenge of the decade. The authors of this

describe approaches to identifying more of the earth9s biological diversity; understanding how biological, geophysical, and geochemical processes interact; and presenting scientific knowledge in time to contribute to and achieve the 2010 target.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors suggest that discord in Corporate Social Reporting (CSR) can be related to differing assumptions about society, and the role of CSR in the society/organisation relationship.
Abstract: The article suggests that discord in Corporate Social Reporting (CSR) can be related to differing assumptions about (a) society, and (b) the role of CSR in the society/organisation relationship. It is then argued that, with this perspective, the major trends in CSR can be seen to be built around differing views of the world and that recent major developments in the subject focus upon the concepts of accountability and the social contract.
