Although intergroup contact can reduce prejudice, opportunities to experience such are often constrained by systems of segregation. Work on this problem has focused divisions entrenched within institutions residence, education, and employment. Our research employed a complementary approach, which treated segregation as the outcome individuals' movements over time everyday life spaces. Taking case study Catholics' Protestants' use public environments in north Belfast, we used GPS tracking...
The visibility of natural greenness is associated with several health benefits along multiple pathways, including stress recovery and attention restoration mechanisms. However, existing methodologies are inadequate for capturing eye-level exposure at high spatial resolutions observers located on the ground. As a response, we developed an innovative methodological approach to model map 5 m interval locations within large study area. We used multi-source data applied viewshed analysis in...
Metrics representing exposure to the natural environment are widely used in environmental health-related studies. They calculated using a variety of different data sources greenspace and range buffer sizes human interaction with environment. Previous studies have identified issues relating distance scaling effects on assessments when satellite image-derived metrics. We evaluate spatial scale sensitivity three common metrics (i.e., Normalised Difference Vegetation Index- NDVI, Leaf Area LAI,...
Abstract Malaria in India, while decreasing, remains a serious public health problem, and the contribution of submicroscopic asymptomatic infections to its persistence is poorly understood. We conducted community surveys clinic studies at three sites India differing their eco-epidemiologies: Chennai (Tamil Nadu), Nadiad (Gujarat), Rourkela (Odisha), during 2012–2015. A total 6,645 subject blood samples were collected for Plasmodium diagnosis by microscopy PCR, an extensive clinical...
Greenspace exposures are often measured using single exposure metrics, which can lead to conflicting results. Existing methodologies limited in their ability estimate greenspace comprehensively. We demonstrate new methods for estimating and combined representing multiple types that combine impacts at various scales. also investigate the association between those premature mortality. used geospatial data spatial analytics model map availability, accessibility eye-level visibility metrics....
Abstract Schmidt hammer (SH) sampling of 54 10 Be-dated granite surfaces from the Pyrenees reveals a clear relationship between exposure and weathering through time (n=52, R 2 =0.96, P <0.01) permits use SH as numerical dating tool. To test this Be-SH calibration curve, 100 were sampled five ice-front positions in Têt catchment, eastern Pyrenees, with results verified against independent Be 14 C ages. Gaussian modelling differentiates Holocene (9.4±0.6 ka), Younger Dryas (12.6±0.9 Oldest...
Research on segregation has expanded beyond its traditional focus the residential demography of cities to explore how, why and with what consequences manifests within activity spaces outside home. As part this shift, researchers have become increasingly interested in time geography residents' everyday mobility practices. Building work, present paper explores role place identity dynamics shaping how Catholic Protestant residents navigate over historically divided city Belfast. To do so, we...
Abstract Context Understanding landscape functional connectivity is critical for nature conservation in fragmented landscapes. Spatially explicit graph-theoretical approaches to assessing have provided a promising framework capturing components driving at the scale. However, existing weighting schemes used parameterise graph theory-based methods are limited with respect their ability capture patch-level characteristics relevant habitat use such as edge-effects. Objectives We set out develop...
ABSTRACT A primary question for researchers in the field of conservation science concerns fragmentation biodiversity‐supporting habitat. Key debates revolve around relevance habitat composition and configuration outcomes. Central to this debate is measurement delineation patch, which informs fragmentation‐related metrics their evaluation. Despite need quantify model fragmentation, patch concept itself has been subject criticism concerning its ability adequately reflect heterogeneity resource...
Abstract The benefits of positive intergroup contact for attitudes are well‐established. Yet individual and group self‐segregation practices demonstrate that opportunities not sufficient uptake; persistent institutionalized segregation reinforces compounds this problem. Hence, we need to understand what drives people towards away from consequences the capacity deliberately engage or avoid has individuals, groups, communities. This paper formally introduces concept volition : our perceived...
