Abstract Statistics on internal migration are important for keeping estimates of subnational population numbers up-to-date, as well urban planning, infrastructure development, and impact assessment, among other applications. However, flow statistics typically remain constrained by the logistics infrequent censuses or surveys. The penetration rate mobile phones is now high across globe with rapid recent increases in ownership low-income countries. Analyzing changing spatiotemporal...
The national census is an essential data source to support decision-making in many areas of public interest. However, this may become outdated during the intercensal period, which can stretch up several decades. We developed a Bayesian hierarchical model leveraging recent household surveys with probabilistic sampling designs and building footprints produce up-to-date population estimates. estimated totals age sex breakdowns associated uncertainty measures within grid cells approximately 100m...
Abstract In times of crisis, real‐time data mapping population displacements are invaluable for targeted humanitarian response. The Russian invasion Ukraine on February 24, 2022, forcibly displaced millions people from their homes including nearly 6 million refugees flowing across the border in just a few weeks, but information was scarce regarding and vulnerable populations who remained inside Ukraine. We leveraged social media Facebook's advertising platform combination with preconflict to...
White whales trained to dive on command in the open ocean remained submerged as long 15 min 50 s and dove deep 647 m. Other than records of sperm entangled sea cables, this is deepest measured any marine mammal. This whale's blood volume estimated oxygen-carrying capacity are similar those Weddell seals some other mammals known be divers.
Objective Osteoarthritis (OA) is a widespread and debilitating joint disease characterized by synovial inflammation, cartilage degeneration, chronic pain. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have shown therapeutic efficacy for many diseases with strong inflammatory profile, including OA. However, the disease-specific mechanisms of action underpinning effects post-local MSC delivery remain unaddressed. In this study, we aimed to characterize disease-induced profile MSCs following exposure in...
The estimation of the population denominators internally displaced people (IDP) and other crisis-affected populations is a foundational step that facilitates all humanitarian assistance. However, system remains somewhat tolerant irregular inaccurate estimates size composition, particularly IDPs. In this commentary, we review how organizations currently approach IDP populations, field approaches analytical methodologies can be improved.
Understanding the underlying ecological processes that govern population dynamics is essential for identifying risk of extinction faced by a population. Ecological are driven number different density‐dependent and density‐independent factors. Influential factors may vary between species often classified large areas species' geographical range. Here we test hypothesis these on relatively small spatial scale across The skipper butterfly Ochlodes sylvanus investigated each 100 km 2 region...
In times of crisis, real-time data mapping population displacements are invaluable for targeted humanitarian response. The Russian invasion Ukraine on February 24, 2022 forcibly displaced millions people from their homes including nearly 6m refugees flowing across the border in just a few weeks, but information was scarce regarding and vulnerable populations who remained inside Ukraine. We leveraged near social media marketing to estimate sub-national sizes every day disaggregated by age...
Conservation of endangered species necessitates a full appreciation the ecological processes affecting regulation, limitation, and persistence populations. These are influenced by birth, death, dispersal events, characterizing them requires careful accounting both deterministic stochastic operating at local regional population levels. We combined theory observations on Allee effects linking mathematical analysis spatial temporal dynamics patterns highly butterfly, high brown fritillary,...
In our increasingly unstable and unpredictable world, population dynamics rarely settle uniformly to long-term behaviour. However, projecting period-by-period through the preceding fluctuations is more data-intensive analytically involved than evaluating at equilibrium. To efficiently model populations best inform policy, we require pragmatic suggestions as when it necessary incorporate short-term transient their effect on eventual projected size. estimate this need for matrix modelling,...
Abstract Juvenile osteochondritis dissecans (JOCD) is a pediatric disease, which begins with an osteonecrotic lesion in the secondary ossification center which, over time, results separation of necrotic fragment from parent bone. JOCD predisposes to early-onset osteoarthritis. However, knowledge gap pathomechanisms severely limits current therapeutic strategies. To elucidate its etiology, we conducted study induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and control patients. iPSCs skin biopsies were...
Background and aims: Climate change is expected to increase the frequency severity of monsoon floods in south-east Asia will severely impact food nutrition security. The Food Agricultural Approaches Reducing Malnutrition (FAARM) cluster-randomized controlled trial rural Bangladesh, aimed improve outcomes through a Nutrition-Sensitive Agriculture (NSA) intervention. We evaluated role intervention moderating seasonal flood exposures on women’s dietary diversity (WDD) group...
