Overview of the Implementation of the First Year of Immunization against Human Papillomavirus across Different Administrative Units in Serbia and Montenegro.

Despite the availability of a safe and effective vaccination, uptake of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination remains low worldwide. We aimed to analyze the coverage of HPV immunization during the first year of the immunization program and the sociodemographic characteristics across different administrative units in Serbia and Montenegro. Coverage of HPV vaccination in Serbia for females aged 9-14 and 15-19 years was 5.5% and 5.9%, respectively. The coverage rate of immunization against HPV in Montenegro for girls aged 9-14 years was 22.1%. Within Serbia, only one administrative region (Moravica) had HPV immunization coverage in girls 9-19 years old above 10%, 11 districts had coverage from 5 to 10%, while 13 districts had coverage below 5%. As per Montenegro, two administrative units, Cetinje and Berane, reported the highest coverage, with 39% and 36.4% of vaccinated eligible girls, respectively. When we explored the coverage of HPV immunization among girls aged 9-19 years across different regions in Serbia, we observed that the level of coverage did not correlate with the number of pediatricians or with the population density. In Montenegro, we observed a similar situation. On the other hand, we noticed a statistically significant moderate negative correlation (r = -0.446; p = 0.026) between HPV immunization coverage and the percentage of illiterate women in the administrative units. Comparing the coverage between the two countries we found that the higher coverage in Montenegro corresponded with a smaller number of female populations aged 9-14 years, with higher average net monthly income, with smaller population density and smaller number of pediatricians, among divorced persons, and among those without formal education or incompletely primary education. Taking into account the experiences in Montenegro, increasing immunization coverage in Serbia could be achieved through a more vigorous educational campaign targeting schools, the general population, and healthcare workers as well as by additionally incentivizing those engaged in these activities.

Prevalence and associated factors of clubfoot in the eastern province of Saudi Arabia: A hospital-based study.

Clubfoot, or congenital talipes equinovarus, is a widely recognized cause of disability and congenital deformity worldwide, which significantly impacts the quality of life. Effective management of clubfoot requires long-term, multidisciplinary intervention. It is important to understand how common this condition is in order to assess its impact on the population. Unfortunately, few studies have investigated the prevalence of clubfoot in Saudi Arabia. To determine the prevalence of clubfoot in Saudi Arabia via the patient population at King Fahad University Hospital (KFUH). This was a retrospective study conducted at one of the largest hospitals in the country and located in one of the most densely populated of the administrative regions. Of the 7792 births between 2015 to 2023 that were included in the analysis, 42 patients were diagnosed with clubfoot, resulting in a prevalence of 5.3 per 1000 live births at KFUH. The observed prevalence of clubfoot was significantly higher than both global and local estimates, indicating a substantial burden in the study population.

The Plastic-Reduction Behavior of Chinese Residents: Survey, Model, and Impact Factors

The persistent generation of plastic waste represents a critical environmental challenge. Despite the implementation of various management policies spanning from usage to disposal that are aimed at incentivizing plastic reduction, the accumulation of plastic debris continues to pose a significant threat to both terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Moreover, this environmental issue adversely impacts economic development and human health. This study seeks to analyze the influencing factors of plastic-reduction behavior at the individual level. Through a diverse sample of 869 participants across 29 provincial-level administrative regions, this research utilizes structural equation modeling to elucidate the intricate factors influencing plastic-reduction behaviors. This study examines the factors influencing plastic-reduction behavior through the frameworks of economic savings and spiritual satisfaction, focusing on two specific behavioral intentions: economically driven behavior and spiritually driven persuasive behavior. Results show that the primary motivator for plastic reduction is the decrease in individual expenses. Environmental values and policy regulations have become important influencing factors, which also promote behaviors regarding plastic reduction through economic savings. The study distinguishes between the impacts of environmental knowledge and skills, highlighting the necessity of practical skills for effective behavior change. Moreover, the study reveals the pivotal role of local attachment in encouraging plastic-reduction actions. The urban natural environment, particularly when characterized by accessible and well-maintained features, such as lakes and rivers, can foster residents’ appreciation for the environment, thereby motivating them to engage in plastic-reduction actions to attain personal spiritual satisfaction.

A Model to Analyze Industrial Clusters to Measure Land Use Efficiency in China

An understanding of how land use efficiency and industrial clusters interact helps one to make informed decisions that balance economic benefits with sustainable urban development. The emergence of industrial clusters is a result of market behavior, while the determination of administrative boundaries is a result of government behavior. When these two are not consistent, it can lead to distortions in the allocation of land resources. However, current research on industrial development and land use efficiency is based on agglomeration within administrative regions rather than on industrial clusters. This study addresses this gap by identifying industrial clusters based on the spatial distribution of enterprises and analyzing their impact on land use efficiency. This study uses the density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) algorithm to identify industrial clusters, the convex hull algorithm to study their morphology, and spatial econometrics to measure the relationship between land use efficiency and the scale of industrial clusters. The results indicate the following: (1) the density of manufacturing industry (MI) clusters is significantly higher than that of information technology industry (ITI) clusters, and larger industrial clusters tend to be more circular in shape; (2) there is a positive correlation between the scale of industrial clusters and land use efficiency, and industrial clusters with varying levels of land use efficiency are interspersed throughout; (3) significant differences exist between the boundaries of industrial clusters and administrative regions, which could lead to biases when analyzing land use efficiency based on administrative regions. This study provides theoretical support for government policies on improving land use efficiency in China.

Strategic Management on the Preparedness of Selected State Universities and Colleges on the Implementation of Physical Activities toward Health and Fitness (PATHFIT) Courses in Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR)

The Philippine government has implemented the CHED Memorandum Order (CMO) 39, series of 2021, to place a premium on improving student learning outcomes in Physical Education. With the rapid change and quick transition of Physical Education (PE) curriculum as a basic subject at the tertiary level, the higher education institutions (HEIs) need to respond on this reformation. Intuitively, this study desires to contemplate on the preparedness of the new Physical Activities toward Health and Fitness (PATHFIT) courses from selected state universities and colleges in the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR). This study employed a descriptive quantitative-comparative approach to assess and evaluate the level of preparedness of Physical Education curriculum implementers and their profile towards the implementation of the Physical Activities toward Health and Fitness (PATHFIT) courses along with course program, auxiliary services, and instruction. The reliability and internal consistency of the instrument were measured using Cronbach Alpha. Based on the results, indicators in the instrument fall between 0.70 to 0.90 which implies a good and acceptable questionnaire. For the main data, frequency and percentage distribution were used in treating the profile of the respondents while one-way ANOVA was used to determine the difference in the means of the different groups. T-test and F-test was also utilized to test the significant differences. From the results of the study, the level of preparedness of PE curriculum implementers in terms of course program – which refers to curriculum and auxiliary services like facilities, equipment and materials, and partnership and linkages when grouped according to their profile – is notably prepared. This implies that PE curriculum implementers are equipped when it comes to their knowledge and abilities to teach the different course menus that are stipulated in the CMO 39, series of 2021. Furthermore, the preparedness of PE curriculum implementers in terms of instruction – which refers to teacher competencies in knowledge and skills, instructional management and teaching modality when grouped according to their profile – is prepared. This implies that the implementers are ready and aware in their delivery instruction of course programs and contents.

Prevalence and geographic distribution of Echinococcus genus in wild canids in southern Québec, Canada.

Echinococcus spp. is an emerging zoonotic parasite of high concern. In Canada, an increase in the number of human and animal cases diagnosed has been reported, but information regarding the parasite's distribution in wildlife reservoir remains limited. A cross-sectional study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of wild canids infected with Echinococcus spp. and Echinococcus multilocularis in areas surrounding populated zones in Québec (Canada); to investigate the presence of areas at higher risk of infection; to evaluate potential risk factors of the infection; and as a secondary objective, to compare coproscopy and RT-PCR diagnostic tests for Taenia spp. and Echinococcus identification. From October 2020 to March 2021, fecal samples were collected from 423 coyotes (Canis latrans) and 284 red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) trapped in 12 administrative regions. Real-time PCR for molecular detection of genus Echinococcus spp. and species-specific Echinococcus multilocularis were performed. A total of 38 positive cases of Echinococcus spp., of which 25 were identified as E. multilocularis, were detected. Two high-risk areas of infection were identified. The prevalence of Echinococcus spp. was 22.7% (95% CI 11.5-37.8%) in the Montérégie centered high-risk area, 26.5% (95% CI 12.9-44.4%) in the Bas-St-Laurent high-risk area, and 3.0% (95%CI 1.8-4.7%) outside those areas. For E. multilocularis, a prevalence of 20.5% (95% CI 9.8-35.3%) was estimated in the high-risk area centered in Montérégie compared to 2.4% (95% CI 1.4-3.9%) outside. Logistic regression did not show any association of infection status with species, sex, or geolocation of capture (p > 0.05). This study shows the circulation of Echinococcus in a wildlife cycle in 9/12 administrative regions of Québec.

Water quality ensemble prediction model for the urban water reservoir based on the hybrid long short-term memory (LSTM) network analysis

ABSTRACT The water quality of drinking water reservoirs directly impacts the water supply safety for urban residents. This study focuses on the Da Jing Shan Reservoir, a crucial drinking water source for Zhuhai City and the Macau Special Administrative Region. The aim is to establish a prediction model for the water quality of drinking water reservoirs, which can serve as a vital reference for water plants when formulating their water supply plans. In this research, after smoothing the data using the Hodrick-Prescott filter, we utilized the long short-term memory (LSTM) network model to create a water quality prediction model for the Da Jing Shan Reservoir. Simulation calculations reveal that the model's fitting degree is consistently above 60%. Specifically, the prediction accuracy for pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) in the water quality prediction model aligns with actual results by more than 70%, effectively simulating the reservoir's water quality changes. Moreover, for parameters like pH, DO, BOD, and total phosphorus, the relative forecasting error of the LSTM model is less than 10%, confirming the model's validity. The results of this study offer an essential model reference for predicting water quality for the Da Jing Shan Reservoir.

Insights into the cashew production system in Guinea-Bissau: implications for agroecosystem sustainability

IntroductionWest Africa, particularly Guinea-Bissau, heavily relies on cashew nut (Anacardium occidentale L.) production, which significantly impacts the countries’ economies. Cashew exhibits remarkable adaptability to impoverished and arid soils. Understanding producers’ socio-economic characteristics is crucial due to their potential influence on crop productivity and household income.MethodsThis study aims to characterize the socio-economic, productive, and phytosanitary aspects of cashew production in Guinea-Bissau, through 151 interviews with producers across all administrative regions of the country.ResultsOur findings reveal that cashew producers are mainly males aged 40 to 60, they typically manage plantations under 5 ha, with the smaller plantation areas located in Gabú, Cacheu, and Bolama. The age of the older trees averaged 31 years, with the highest age found in Biombo. Tree density averaged 286 trees per hectare, with higher values in Cacheu, Bafatá, and Bolama. Cashew nut yield in 2020 averaged less than 0.5 tons per hectare, with farmer-set prices generally lower than government determined prices. Oio, Tombali, and Bolama were the regions most affected by pests, while Oio and Cacheu (North) were the most affected by diseases. Top pests included termites, branch girdler, weaver ants, African grasshopper, and stem borer; while top diseases comprised gummosis, anthracnose, and dieback.DiscussionCharacterization of cashew production system is crucial at both national and regional levels to identify region-specific limitations and strengths, aiding in the formulation of tailored strategies for sustainable production. Moreover, cashew production plays a crucial role in household incomes in Guinea-Bissau, underscoring the necessity of developing integrated management strategies.

Marginal effects of economical development and university education on China's regular exercise population.

Although the regular exercise population is a key metric for gaging the success of China's fitness-for-all activities, effective policy approaches to increase mass sports participation remain unclear. Previous research suggests that GDP, educational attainment, sports resources, and meteorological conditions could influence regular exercise participation. Therefore, this study first analyzed the macro-level correlates influencing China's regular exercise population. We utilize ordinary least squares (OLS) regression and geographical weighted regression (GWR) to theorize the relationship. The analysis encompasses data from the 31 administrative regions of Mainland China, as reported at the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan period. The log-log model enables us to quantify the marginal effect (elasticity) of the explanatory variables. The OLS regression showed that regional GDP and the proportion of the population with a university education were significant predictors. In the global model, the marginal effects of regional GDP and university education were 0.048 and 0.173, respectively. Furthermore, the GWR revealed a distinct geographic pattern that corresponds to the classic Hu Line. While regional GDP was also a significant correlate in our model, the elasticity demonstrates that university education had an asymmetric effect on China's regular exercise population. Therefore, this paper sheds light on a policy priority for the upcoming 15th Five-Year Plan, emphasizing the strategic importance of expanding university education to enhance mass sports participation. In turn, a better-educated populace may yield significant secondary effects on public health and contribute to the high-quality development of the Chinese path to modernization.

СОСТОЯНИЕ И ПЕРСПЕКТИВЫ ВОВЛЕЧЕНИЯ ЗАЛЕЖНЫХ ЗЕМЕЛЬ КАНСКОЙ ЛЕСОСТЕПИ В СЕЛЬСКОХОЗЯЙСТВЕННЫЙ ОБОРОТ

The purpose of the study is to assess the soil fertility of unused arable land in the Kansk forest-steppe of the Krasnoyarsk Region. The results of a soil-agrochemical survey of unused arable land in 9 districts of the Kansk forest-steppe of the Krasnoyarsk Region are presented. The studies were carried out by the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Station of Agrochemical Service "Solyanskaya" (FGBU "SAS "Solyanskaya") of the Rybinsk District in 2022–2023 within the framework of the state task of the Ministry of Agriculture to conduct surveys (soil, agrochemical and environmental-toxicological) of unused arable land for agricultural purposes. It has been established that the soil cover of unused arable land in the Kansk forest-steppe is dominated by chernozems and gray forest soils. Soils not used for arable land are characterized by medium and high humus content with a weighted average of 6.1 to 8.3 %. The soils are characterized by slightly acidic and close to neutral (5.1–6.3 pH units) environmental reaction. The exception is the sod-podzolic and sod-soil-gley soils of the Taseevo and Uyar Districts, where pHxl has a mode¬rately acidic reaction (4.6–4.9 pH units). Mobile phosphorus in soils is distributed extremely unevenly for soils of the same genetic origin in different administrative regions. The soils of unused arable land located in the northern and central parts of the region are much better provided with this element. Here, the weighted average content of available phosphorus is 211–319 mg/kg. In the southern subzone, the amount of available phosphorus in soils decreases, not exceeding 140 mg/kg. In terms of the content of exchangeable potassium, the fallow soils of the Kansk forest-steppe are provided with a medium to high level. The content of mobile sulfur in the surveyed soils is, as a rule, low and average (0.4–12.0 mg/kg). In the soils of unused arable land in the Aban and Irbey Districts, a high content of this element was noted (12.2–13.3 mg/kg).

Factors Influencing the Intention of Chinese Adults to Recommend COVID-19 Vaccination for Specific or Non-Specific Groups.

The widespread availability of vaccines has profound implications for sustainable public health. Positive recommendation on vaccination is one of the most effective ways to increase the willingness to vaccinate against COVID-19. This study aims to investigate the factors influencing the intentions to recommend COVID-19 vaccination for specific groups (IRCVSG) and the intentions to recommend COVID-19 vaccination for non-specific groups (IRCVNSG) in China and explore the mediating role of vaccine hesitancy and perception of vaccination information. This study conducted a cross-sectional anonymous online survey of adults (N = 903) in 28 provincial-level administrative regions in China in May 2022. The prevalence of IRCVSG and IRCVNSG was 60.5% and 93.0%, respectively. Health information literacy has a significant direct and indirect impact on IRCVSG through safety hesitancy and the perceived adequacy and usefulness of vaccination information. The relationship between health information literacy and IRCVNSG is entirely mediated via hesitation about the effectiveness and perceived usefulness of vaccination information. Special attention should be paid to the safety hesitation of COVID-19 vaccination for specific groups. This study tests these effects from both theoretical and practical perspectives, helping to address barriers to promoting the vaccination of specific groups for COVID-19 in clinical practice, improving health and sustainability.

Ewes of a leather flock together. Feeding management systems during Late Antiquity in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula (4th c. – 8th c. AD): a dental microwear approach

In recent years, the dental microwear analysis technique has been proven as an approach for contributing to animal husbandry research. It has been tested with good results on providing information related to the animal feeding strategies of bygone agri-livestock societies. In this paper, we present the first dental microwear study from the northeast of Tarraconensis province –the administrative region covering the northeastern Iberian Peninsula in Late Antiquity (4th – 8th c. CE) – in order to provide first order information about the different systems that may have been used to nourish sheep flocks. A total of 146 lower sheep (Ovis aries) molars from five archaeological sites were analysed. The results allow us to propose that different livestock practices were conducted, and various natural resources were exploited by the region’s inhabitants during Late Antiquity, with fodder being particularly important as a feeding system to nourish the flock.

Evaluation of Rice–Crayfish Field Fragmentation Based on Landscape Indices: A Case Study of Qianjiang City, China

Since the 21st century, rice–crayfish fields have been widely distributed in the Yangtze River Basin in China. However, the spontaneous construction of these fields by farmers has given rise to the issue of rice–crayfish field fragmentation (RCFF) in certain areas. This study introduced a novel method for evaluating RCFF using township-level administrative regions as the evaluation units. Three key evaluation elements, including five landscape indices, were employed: area and edge metrics (rice–crayfish area ratio), shape metrics (perimeter–area ratio distribution), and aggregation metrics (rice–crayfish patch density, percentage of like adjacencies, and rice–crayfish contagion index). The RCFF was quantified and its spatial distribution pattern was analyzed through the entropy method and GIS spatial analysis. Empirical studies conducted in Qianjiang city yielded insightful results: (1) The contribution of evaluation elements to the RCFF was ranked in descending order as follows: aggregation metrics > shape metrics > area and edge metrics. (2) The RCFF of Yunlianghu farm was the lowest at 0.06, while the RCFF of Yangshi subdistrict 2 was the highest at 0.94. The spatial distribution of the RCFF exhibited a distinct trend, showing a gradual decrease from the northeast to the southwest in Qianjiang, and a low-RCFF area in the southwest. This evaluation system enables local government decisionmakers to comprehend the current status of rice–crayfish field management and construction. It facilitates the scientific planning of rice–crayfish field layouts and provides guidance for farmers in their expansion strategies. This method can be promoted in counties (cities) where rice–crayfish fields are primarily distributed in the Yangtze River Basin, promoting the transition of traditional agriculture to environmentally friendly agriculture in China.

A Cross-Sectional Study on the Assessment of Service Quality and User Satisfaction of a Community Support Program in a Region of Taiwan.

This study aims to assess the service quality and user satisfaction of a community support program (CSP) in a specific administrative region of Taiwan. Employing a cross-sectional design, data were collected from 450 CSP users in the region via a questionnaire. Statistical analyses, including descriptive analysis, ANOVA, and Scheffe's Test, were conducted using SPSS 22.0. The findings reveal that users aged 70-79 years with primary education, as well as those with demand or unknown demand for long-term care, reported the highest level of satisfaction with CSP services (mean = 4.5, SD = 0.7, p < 0.05). The study underscores the influence of user characteristics and their understanding of the services on satisfaction levels. These insights provide clear direction for policymakers in shaping the future of CSPs, emphasizing the importance of addressing user needs and enhancing awareness and the utilization of available services.

Industry Network Structure Determines Regional Economic Resilience: An Empirical Study Using Stress Testing

We evaluate the network robustness of industrial capabilities across China’s provincial administrative regions, focusing on their resilience in the wake of the 2008 economic crisis. By adopting a novel network science methodology within the context of economic geography, we leverage co-classification data from the China Statistical Yearbook to conduct stress tests on regional industrial resilience. The findings indicate a considerable variability in robustness among provincial industry networks. Through regression analysis, it is evident that regions with more robust industrial network structures exhibit greater resilience in employment rates in response to both random and targeted disruptions. Notably, regions characterized by high employment levels coupled with weak industrial foundations are identified as particularly vulnerable, facing significant challenges in sustaining economic resilience. This study highlights the imperative for further in-depth research into the relationship between the structural dynamics of regional economic networks and their resilience to economic shocks, emphasizing the critical role of robust industrial infrastructures in enhancing regional economic stability.

Challenges, Rewards, and Digital Aspects in Establishing Macau’s First Regional Biobank

The Macau Special Administrative Region government has determined the need to diversify its economy and has set a target ratio for a gross domestic product contribution in the high-tech research industry. This article presents the rewards, challenges, and digital aspects of the potential establishment of a regional biobank in Macau to improve health research capacity and innovative high-tech initiatives while recognizing biosecurity, digital, and public health issues without compromising legal, social, ethical, and/or ethnic boundaries within the region. The development of a regional biobank of biological samples and data, along with additional information from diverse populations for future conducted research projects, is anticipated to stimulate the region’s economic, scientific, and public health growth.

CURRENT STATUS AND EFFICIENCY OF ABANDONED LANDS RE-DEVELOPMENT IN RIVER BASINS OF SOUTH-WESTERN TRANSBAIKALIA

Complex ecological and economic studies of post-agrarian landscapes in the middle reaches of the Selenga, Chikoy and Temnik rivers were carried out within the boundaries of the Selenga administrative region of the Republic of Buryatia (RB). A map of abandoned agricultural lands has been compiled. A brief description of agroclimatic conditions of the study area is given; the structure of agricultural land, the yield of grain and forage crops, the dynamics of livestock and the load of livestock on pastures and hayfields are analyzed. The reasons for the arable land abandonment are formulated. It was revealed that pastures and hayfields are not excluded from the agricultural use. This is due to an increase in the livestock numbers in households, which are the main agricultural producers in the RB, as well as a shortage of natural forage lands. The species composition and the state of shelterbelt forests are described as an integral part of the ecotopes of post-agrarian landscapes. The main taxonomic indicators of trees are given. The study of shelterbelt forests is topical due to the need for their inventory, lack of maintenance, and the adoption of Federal Laws on protective afforestation and land reclamation. A brief agrochemical description of the state of soils in key areas is given. To assess the effectiveness of arable land reuse, a net operating income (NOI) or rental income was calculated for each grain and grainfodder crop grown in the region under study. It was revealed that oats and spring wheat are the most profitable. Recommendations were formulated for the redevelopment of post-agricultural landscapes, optimization of protective afforestation, and reconstruction of shelterbelt forests

Multi-wavelength Observations of Umbral Oscillations above a Sunspot

We investigate the umbral oscillation at multi-height solar atmospheres above a sunspot in the active region of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 12680 on 2017 September 15. In this study, the extreme ultraviolet images were measured by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA), while the ultraviolet spectral lines and images were observed by the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph. At the sunspot umbra, the AIA 1700 Å intensity curve shows the primary oscillation with a long period of ∼(4.2±0.8) minutes, while the intensity curves in AIA 1600 Å, 171 Å, and 193 Å exhibit an apparent oscillation with a short period of ∼(2.8±0.3) minutes. Meanwhile, a short period of ∼(3.1±0.5) minutes is found in the Mg II h & k lines and the slit-jaw image at 2796 Å, a short period of ∼(2.9±0.4) minutes is detected in the Si IV 1393.76 Å line. Our observations suggest that the oscillatory periods at the sunspot umbra decrease with the height of solar outer atmospheres. The short period is roughly equal to 3 minutes, which could be interpreted as the propagating slow magnetoacoustic wave above the sunspot umbra, and it might originate from the temperature minimum region and then propagate up to the corona. While the long period is close to 5 minutes oscillation in the photosphere, which might be regarded as the solar P-mode wave.

Spatial Distribution Status of Landform in 1st Grade Area of Ecology and Nature Map

In this study, spatial distribution analysis was conducted on the landforms that appear within the 1st grade area using the ecology and nature map of 2023. As a result, a total of 97 landforms including tidal flat and incised meander were identified as unit landforms, and a total of 1,490 sites were distributed. The spatial distribution by administrative region was highest in Gangwon-do with 273 sites (12.8%), and by unit landform, cliff (173 sites), stream cliff (129 sites), and sea cliff (100 sites) were the most distributed. These landforms are cliffs found in mountainous, riverine, and coastal areas, respectively, and are characterized by their high geomorphological conservation value due to their large scale and geometric shape compared to other terrains. In terms of spatial distribution by landform type, stream landforms (501 sites, 33.6%) accounted for the largest proportion, and there were 24 units landforms. The results obtained can be utilized for future designation of expanded ecosystem protection areas or ecosystem monitoring surveys, along with continued landform conservation.

A dataset of high energy-consuming industrial products in the ASEAN during 2012–2021

The uneven energy distribution and economic development levels of the countries in the ASEAN region have led to the uncoordinated distribution of high-energy-consuming industries in the region. It is extremely important to timely obtain the spatial distribution pattern of high energy-intensive industries. In this paper, on the basis of the 375m high spatial and temporal resolution NPP-VIIRS active fire point data and vector data density segmentation algorithms, we produced a dataset of high energy-consuming industrial products in the ASEAN during 2012–2021. This dataset covers valuable information, such as latitude and longitude of industrial heat sources data, administrative region to which they belong, and the year of operation start and end, etc. It can provide scientific data support for energy distribution and economic development in the region, as well as decision-making support for its cooperation with China for further development.
