We show that, under constrained conditions, line LP has a greater capacity for resource acquisition than line V, which prevents excessive mobilization of body reserves.
Trade-offs between an energy-efficient strategy for nutrient conservation, with a high capacity for resource acquisition under harsh conditions, will likely drive future shifts in functional traits and species composition across the gradient (Choler 2005).
Positive attitudes towards e-health often stemmed from the capacity for electronic resources to help mitigate local resources constraints.
The policy design implications of understanding these interactions can help to integrate human resources strategies into the health reform process and to construct a better institutional capacity for human resources development.
For example, to make improvements in the 'health sector response' capability, as defined by the tool, required greater surge capacity for human resources, hospital beds and ventilators, while improving 'resources for containment' required enhanced antiviral stockpiling and distribution.
We adopt Gibson et al definition of efficient priority setting as one which improves institutional capacity for allocating resources and making priority setting decisions and providing worthwhile return on the time invested to set priorities [ 13].
Efficiency of the priority setting process could be evaluated in terms of whether priority setting improved institutional capacity for allocating resources and making priority setting decisions, and whether stakeholders and decision-makers felt that the priority setting process provided a worthwhile return on the time invested to set priorities.
To promote efficient allocation of resources in such a system requires making decision makers knowledgeable about HIV, building technical capacity for effective resource allocation, instilling the importance of data based decision making within the institutional set up and ensuring availability of relevant, updated and valid information.
Envisioning the new system is a crucial first step for development of a human resources policy which, in turn, will require more information about health care providers, public and private, and increased capacity for human resource planning.
This includes developing capacity for human resource management, expansion of pre-service education and initiatives to support rural deployment and retention: essential elements to get the right health worker in the right place at the right time.
