| the use of network analysis to study complex animal communication systems: a study on nightingale song. | the singing of song birds can form complex signal systems comprised of numerous subunits sung with distinct combinatorial properties that have been described as syntax-like. this complexity has inspired inquiries into similarities of bird song to human language; but the quantitative analysis and description of song sequences is a challenging task. in this study, we analysed song sequences of common nightingales (luscinia megarhynchos) by means of a network analysis. we translated long nocturnal ... | 2014 | 24807258 |

| individual migration timing of common nightingales is tuned with vegetation and prey phenology at breeding sites. | the timing of migration substantially influences individual fitness. to match peak requirements with peak resource availability, we hypothesized that individual migrants schedule spring migration in close relation to seasonal changes in environmental conditions along the route and particularly, at the breeding destination.to test this hypothesis, we investigated the timing of spring migration in male common nightingales luscinia megarhynchos, a small palearctic-african long-distance migrant, by ... | 2014 | 24650177 |

| changing landscape of nursing homes in singapore: challenges in the 21st century. | the ageing population is posing new challenges to singapore's healthcare system. the rise of dual income and the decline of extended families, as well as an increase in age-related degenerative disorders due to increased longevity render it difficult for the family to remain the primary social safety net to care for our elderly in their own homes. consequently, nursing homes may become increasingly relevant for resource and expertise-challenged families to cope with the burden of caring for a fr ... | 2014 | 24557465 |

| hybrid vascular surgery approaches for multilevel arterial occlusive disease. | the incidence of multilevel vascular occlusive disease is increased with patient age. multilevel arterial occlusive disease cases are some of the hardest in the vascular surgical realm because of the comorbidities. in these high-risk patients inflow constrictions may limit the success of distal bypasses. at the same time the constrictions in the outflow may necessitate long bypass circuits that have less long-term patency rates. | 2015 | 25881221 |

| registered nurses' descriptions of caring: a phenomenographic interview study. | nursing has come a long way since the days of florence nightingale and even though no consensus exists it would seem reasonable to assume that caring still remains the inner core, the essence of nursing. in the light of the societal, contextual and political changes that have taken place during the 21st century, it is important to explore whether these might have influenced the essence of nursing. the aim of this study was to describe registered nurses' conceptions of caring. | 2015 | 25834478 |

| multiple song features are related to paternal effort in common nightingales. | sexual ornamentation may be related to the degree of paternal care and the 'good-parent' model predicts that male secondary characters honestly advertise paternal investment. in most birds, males are involved in bringing up the young and successful reproduction highly depends on male contribution during breeding. in passerines, male song is indicative of male attributes and for few species it has been shown that song features also signal paternal investment to females. males of nightingales lusc ... | 2015 | 26084455 |
