[3] The term refers to the examination of phenomena or objects within their original place or context. This methodological approach, used across diverse disciplines, maintains contextual integrity essential for ...

  3. In-situ conservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-situ_conservation

    In-situ conservation is the on-site conservation or the conservation of genetic resources in natural populations of plant or animal species, such as forest genetic resources in natural populations of tree species. [1] This process protects the inhabitants and ensures the sustainability of the environment and ecosystem.

    These roles are as follows: Ark, Rescue, In situ Conservation, In situ research, Husbandry research, Applied Ex situ Research, Mass Production in Captivity, Conservation Education, Supplementation, Biobanking, and doing nothing. [13] The AArk plays the greatest role in the species deemed appropriate for the Ark and Rescue roles.

  5. Situated cognition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Situated_cognition

    Situativity theorists suggest a model of knowledge and learning that requires thinking on the fly rather than the storage and retrieval of conceptual knowledge. In essence, cognition cannot be separated from the context. Instead, knowing exists in situ, inseparable from context, activity, people, culture, and language. Therefore, learning is ...

    SPs used for in situ simulation activities may require special training. [5] For teaching future healthcare professionals how to perform intimate examinations, a specially trained simulated patient may be used. Intimate examinations include breast and pelvic examination on females and urogenital, prostate and rectal examination on males.

    An OECM is defined by the Convention on Biological Diversity as: [A] geographically defined area other than a Protected Area, which is governed and managed in ways that achieve positive and sustained long-term outcomes for the in situ conservation of biodiversity, with associated ecosystem functions and services and where applicable, cultural, spiritual, socio–economic, and other locally ...

  8. In situ chemical reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_situ_chemical_reduction

    In situ chemical reduction (ISCR) is a type of environmental remediation technique used for soil and/or groundwater remediation to reduce the concentrations of targeted environmental contaminants to acceptable levels. It is the mirror process of In Situ Chemical Oxidation (ISCO).

  9. In situ hybridization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_situ_hybridization

    In situ hybridization (ISH) is a type of hybridization that uses a labeled complementary DNA, RNA or modified nucleic acid strand (i.e., a probe) to localize a specific DNA or RNA sequence in a portion or section of tissue or if the tissue is small enough (e.g., plant seeds, Drosophila embryos), in the entire tissue (whole mount ISH), in cells ...
