How can we use systems thinking to create sustainable practices for now and in the future?

Answer:

Systems thinking is an approach to integration that is based on the belief that the component parts of a system will act differently when isolated from the system’s environment or other parts of the system. Standing in contrast to positivist and reductionist thinking, systems thinking sets out to view systems in a holistic manner. Consistent with systems philosophy, systems thinking concerns an understanding of a system by examining the linkages and interactions between the elements that comprise the whole of the system. Systems thinking in practice encourages us to explore inter-relationships (context and connections), perspectives (each actor has their own unique perception of the situation) and boundaries (agreeing on scope, scale and what might constitute an improvement). Systems thinking is particularly useful in addressing complex or wicked problem situations. These problems cannot be solved by any one actor, any more than a complex system can be fully understood from only one perspective. Moreover, because complex adaptive systems are continually evolving, systems thinking is oriented towards organizational and social learning – and adaptive management.

When you encounter situations which are complex and messy, then systems thinking can help you understand the situation systemically. This helps us to see the big picture – from which we may identify multiple leverage points that can be addressed to support constructive change. It also helps us see the connectivity between elements in the situation, so as to support joined-up actions. You can start with this LfS post – An introduction to systems thinking and systemic design – concepts and tools – that provides a framework for thinking about systems thinking in the context of a decision making cycle. The links below point to other sources introducing systems thinking and how to manage and facilitate it to support a collective understanding of a problem situation. More information on how this can be used to support collaborative and constructive social change can be found through the linked LfS pages on systemic design and systems thinking tools.

How do you find the similarity between two protein sequences?
swat32

The function similarity between two protein sequences is quantified by relating the term specificities of the two terms and the specificity of their common ancestor term. Using this function similarity metric, the relationship between sequence similarity and function similarity can be modeled.

To demonstrate the similarities and differences between two protein sequences, they can be compared. In order to reduce the Root Mean Square (RMS) discrepancy between the second protein and the first geometry, the second of the two proteins is rotated and translated. If switching out atom pairs would lower the RMS error, it is done. There are three ways to depict differences. The most straightforward is to create a list of the atoms whose positions differ by the most, however this is only partially useful because some protein components are very flexible, meaning that huge geometric changes may be followed by only very tiny changes in energy. Changes in bond lengths are a more significant form of variation. Considering the high force constants of covalent bonds, any substantial change in bond length.

What product do all three reactions in Model 2 have in common?
belka [17]

Answer;

-They all provide water

Explanation;

In reaction A, the reactants are glucose and fructose , and the products are Sucrose and water. This is a condensation reaction, following the combination of two monosaccharides (glucose and fructose) forming a dissaccharide (sucrose) and water.

In reaction B, the reactants are two amino acids, that results to formation of a dipeptide and water; this is also a condensation reaction joining two amino acids monomers, to form a dipeptide and water.

-In reaction C, a monoglyceride combines with a fatty acid to form a diglyceride and water. This is also an example of a condensation reaction that results to formation of a diglyceride and water.

Therefore, the similarity of all the reactions is that they are all condensation reactions, with water as a common product.
