The Akan philosophy of persons thus represents an attempt to resolve questions of identity, freedom, and morality in favor of a communalistic way of life that has evolved as a rational adaptation to the exigencies of survival under harsh conditions.
Adolescent sexual activity (and pregnancy), according to the rational adaptation theory [ 45], is a means through which adolescents derive benefits.
The most striking of these was the prevalence of unrecognized MGD in patients with positively localized disease, which ranged from 1.6 to 22%. 5, 7, 10, 15– 19, 25– 29 This variation prompted us to surmise that divided opinions regarding the value of IOPTH monitoring rest not on dogma but rather arise as rational adaptations to disparate institution-specific factors.
To maintain homeostasis, these adaptations are rational, but whether the adaptations persist if the period of physical inactivity is prolonged is unknown.
Because nature, extent and rate of climate change and its health impacts are uncertain, understanding the relative level of relevance and uncertainty is crucial to making rational choices in adaptation policies and for possible adjustments if climate change effects occur slower, faster, or just different than earlier expected.
However, these recombinant strains grow poorly on xylose and require further improvement through rational engineering or evolutionary adaptation.
This could allow a rational design for preferred adaptations in processing conditions aimed at a more efficient bacterial inactivation for harmful microbes or survival for beneficial ones.
By considering the kluges peppering the history of organic structures, scientists have dismissed the assumption that adaptation is always rational, allowing for empirically grounded reductions of the examples proffered by their critics.
The discovery of population structure, combined with knowledge of associated phenotypes and environmental adaptations, enables a rational approach to identification of landraces that might be used as sources of germplasm for breeding programs.
The dissection of population structure, combined with examination of their phenotypic attributes and environmental adaptations, enables a rational approach to the identification of landraces that might be used as sources of valuable germplasm for modern breeding programmes.
Most importantly, this includes having a strong link with national adaptation activities to promote rational decision making using an improved health economic evidence base.
