Classifying forest stands according to spatial species mingling by Svensson, Arvid

“…This study suggests that the new function of J(̅r) provides additional information to the mark mingling function, mostly related to J(̅r) being based on the nearest neighbour (NN) concept and thus providing more information on local neighbourhoods. …”

Findings of a community screening programme for human cystic echinococcosis in a non-endemic area by Mutwiri, Titus, Magambo, J., Zeyhle, E., Muigai, A.W.T., Alumasa, Lorren, Amanya, Fredrick, Fèvre, Eric M., Falzon, Laura C.

“…To assess possible establishment of the CE life cycle outside known endemic regions, we used a portable ultrasound scanner to screen for the presence of human CE in Bungoma County of western Kenya, an area which imports substantial numbers of cattle for slaughter from neighbouring pastoralist regions. Eight sentinel sites were purposively selected based on their proximity to slaughterhouses handling animals introduced from pastoralist regions, and necessary permissions to conduct the study were sought. …”

Effects of a large-scale alcohol ban on population-level alcohol intake, weight, blood pressure, blood glucose, and domestic violence in India: A quasi-experimental population-base... by Chakrabarti, Suman, Christopher, Anita, Scott, Samuel P., Kishore, Avinash, Nguyen, Phuong Hong

“…Methods Data from the Indian National Family Health Surveys (2005–06, 2015–16, 2019–21), Annual Health Survey (2013), and District Level Household Survey (2012), were used to conduct difference-in-differences (DID) analysis, comparing Bihar (n = 10,733 men, n = 88,188 women) and neighbouring states (n = 38,674 men, n = 284,820 women) before and after the ban. …”

Can humans outsmart rodents? Learning to work collectively and strategically by Palis, Florencia G., Singleton, Grant R., Brown, Peter R., Huan, Nguyen Huu, Umali, Christian, Nga, Nguyen Thi Duong
