Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Construction of the Great Pyramid with pulley-like systems using counterweights on sliding-ramps
The masonry and architecture analysis based construction proposal of the Great Pyramid is physically advantageous and can explain its fast construction. The proposal offers explanations for how the heaviest blocks were lifted and structural features such as the intricate course height pattern.
Exploring the potential of self-managed organizational structure in enhancing home-based healthcare services in India
This study explores how self-managed organizational structures can enhance India’s home-based healthcare. Through qualitative insights from healthcare management professionals, it highlights trust, collaboration, and autonomy as keys to creating efficient, compassionate, and resilient care systems.
Empowering nurses: exploring self-managed organizations in Indian healthcare
The study explores how self-managed organizational structures can enhance home-based healthcare in India. Using grounded theory interviews with nurses and patients, it identifies key enablers—insightfulness, job enrichment, and autonomy-driven intrapreneurship—that empower nurses and improve care.
The triple burden: Essential medicine availability, price, and affordability across Ethiopian health facilities
Access to essential medicines is a fundamental human right recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and a key component of achieving universal health coverage.
Did the Paris Climate Agreement Work?
The Paris Climate Agreement was agreed by most of the world’s nations in 2015. It aimed to keep global average temperature increase over pre-industrial levels by 2100 to well below 2C. Using probabilistic climate forecasts based on Bayesian hierarchical models, we analyse what has happened since.
Discovering a molecular protective shield in a prebiotic environment
We show that AMP enables specific, mineral-assisted reduction of the redox coenzyme NAD. In a prebiotic context, this means that the non-functional AMP handle could have served a pre-enzymatic purpose.
