The effect of mass migration on disease transmission: Evidence from the Venezuelan refugee crisis

AbstractSince 2014, millions of Venezuelans have fled to neighboring countries. There is only one accessible land crossing along the Brazil–Venezuela border (Pacaraima) and the Brazilian highway system limits migrants to one route through the Amazon for almost 1000 km. Using this event as a quasi‐random treatment, we find that refugee migration increased malaria incidence in Pacaraima, but this was limited to individuals of Venezuelan nationality. We find no effect on Brazilians in Pacaraima or in other municipalities along the main refugee migration route. We therefore reject the hypothesis that Venezuelan refugees increased the risk of malaria among native residents.

Nearby nature and wellbeing: an examination of place-belongingness and meaning in life among native and migrant residents in Norway

ABSTRACT Living nearby nature could be relevant for understanding what makes people feel they belong where they live and experience meaning in their lives. This study explored the relationships between nearby nature, place-belongingness, and meaning in life among first- and second-generation immigrants compared to the general Norwegian population. Two outdoor spaces were analysed: recreation areas and hiking areas within 200 metres and 500 metres from the participants’ residences, respectively. Using hierarchical multiple regression, we analysed survey data from 35,005 Norwegian residents. The results showed that outdoor spaces, especially recreation areas, were associated with higher place-belongingness and meaning in life. Concerning place-belongingness, the association’s intensity varied for first- and second-generation immigrants, depending on the outdoor space type. These differences could suggest that immigrant residents have different values and needs regarding outdoor recreation. Outdoor practitioners and urban designers can benefit from this knowledge, as intercultural contexts challenge the traditional notions of outdoor recreation.

Assessing the Heavy Metal Contamination Prevailing in Groundwater at Rishipur Village, West Bengal, India

The recent surge in interest surrounding water contamination has prompted a study to evaluate the water quality of groundwater in Rishipur village, Malda District, West Bengal, India. The area's groundwater is crucial for drinking, residential, and irrigation purposes due to its proximity to agricultural fields, where most local residents live. The intended purpose of the study is to comprehensively appraise the groundwater quality of a dug well, specifically analysing the intensities of different heavy-metals existing in the water, resulting in valuable insights into its quality. The native residents rely on the usage of this groundwater for drinking and domestic purposes without any purification. However, potential contamination may be present due to nearby agricultural activities. Thus, the study will enable us to make recommendations for mitigating any identified contamination. Exemplary samples of water from a well were consistently collected near the agricultural region over the course of a year, from April 2021 to March 2022. The groundwater samples were analysed for the presence of heavy elements: iron; zinc; copper; manganese; nickel; chromium; cobalt and lead to evaluate the water excellence. To ascertain the overall water eminence status, the Heavy-Metal-Pollution-Index; (HPI), was calculated, which is considered an efficient and reliable technique for water eminence assessment. In this study, the value of HPI; 101.66 in January, indicates high heavy-metal pollution, although it remained within the desired range for the rest of the months. In the analysis of the descriptive statistical data, both substantial positive and negative relations were observed, which were illustrated in a correlation coefficient matrix. Furthermore, the interaction of heavy-metal variables was also explored by utilising the R-Square values derived from the multiple linear regression analysis, which allowed to gain insights into how these variables interplayed with one another. The investigation conclusively established that the eminence of water is deemed appropriate for consumption alongside other domiciliary purposes, with the exception of January.

"Fora Saneouro, a água é do povo": social representations of residents of Ouro Preto, Brazil, on the privatization of water and sanitation services

The privatization of water and sanitation services constitutes a significant debate worldwide. Contrary to the trend in other countries, Brazil has been moving toward the privatization of these essential services. Within this scenario is the historic city of Ouro Preto, where water and sanitation services were privatized in 2019, leading to the formation of a broad popular movement against privatization. In this context, this study aimed to identify and analyze the social representations of the local population regarding the privatization of these services. Fifteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with native residents of the city, whose ages ranged from 26 to 90 years. The results point to the residents' dissatisfaction with the service provision by the private company, with privatization being perceived as a "great evil," anchored in values and conceptions aligned with anti-privatization groups. Remunicipalization emerges as the residents' desire and the possible path to achieving social justice and the realization of human rights.

Interrelations between iron content and immune dysfunctions in frequently ill children of the Aral Sea Region

The widespread occurrence of immune-dependent diseases and disturbances in iron metabolism, as well as their co-occurrence and the impact of iron deficiency on the immune system, underscore the relevance of this study. Modern data also indicate the involvement of iron in regulating cytokine production and protein synthesis by lymphocytes. In addition to the age-related characteristics of the child’s immune system, a significant factor in the development of inadequate course of the infectious process is the disruption of immune system adaptation, which can be caused by frequent infections, other somatic diseases such as anemia, and environmental factors. The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between iron levels and immune dysfunction in children with frequent acute respiratory diseases living in the Aral Sea region. A total of 127 children, who are native residents living at the epicenter of the ecological crisis, were examined. The children’s ages ranged from 1 to 5 years old. Among them, there were 105 frequently ill children (with 6 or more episodes of acute respiratory infections per year) with iron-deficiency anemia (IDA), and 22 healthy children of the same age. All children underwent clinical examination and standard laboratory tests, including complete blood count, relative content and ratio of T and B lymphocytes, as well as the levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-2 and 4) and ferritin in the serum. According to the results of the conducted research, it was found that among frequently ill children with iron-deficiency anemia (IDA), there is a moderate positive correlation between the relative quantity of T lymphocytes and the hemoglobin level (r = +0.62), as well as a strong positive correlation with the serum iron level (r = +0.78). This indicates a significant influence of iron deficiency on the level of cellular immunity. Clinical data also indicate a higher risk of respiratory infections development in children with IDA compared to the control group. Ferritin, hemoglobin, lymphocytes, and cytokines act as positive regulators of hematopoiesis in IDA conditions and contribute to the compensation of anemia during iron deficiency replenishment.

The effect of the tidal cycle on the phytoplankton community assemblage in a mangrove-dominated tropical tidal creek.

A comparative assessment of phytoplankton dynamics during low tide (LT) and high tide (HT) was conducted from February 2022 to January 2023 in a tropical mesotidal creek, Manori, Mumbai, India. In total, 124 phytoplankton species were recorded. The HT resulted in greater species richness (124 species) and diversity indices (Shannon-Wiener's index) than the LT (102 species). The Pielou's evenness (J') and Simpson's dominance index (1-D) did not show significant fluctuations with the tides due to the marine phytoplankton species moving rhythmically in and out of the creek with the tides. Overall, the seasonal abundance was maximum during pre-monsoon at HT (5.79 × 103 u/L) and lowest in monsoon at LT (0.45 × 103 u/L), whereas spatial abundance was maximum at S1 (HT- 4.04 × 103 u/L) at HT and lowest at S3 (LT- 0.75 × 103 u/L) at LT. The diatoms dominated in their abundance (1.83 × 103 u/L and 3.82 × 103 u/L in HT) and diversity (77 in LT and 92 in HT). The species such as Coscinodiscus centralis, Coscinodiscus granii, Coscinodiscus radiatus, Triops furca, Melosira varians, Nitzchsia palea, Chaetoceros affinis, Skeletonema marinoi, Stephanocyclus meneghinianus, Planktoniella sol and Skeletonema costatumwere the dominant native residents in the creek. SIMPER analysis revealed that the maximum similarity was during the monsoon (47.65%), and the minimum was during the pre-monsoon (38.10%) at LT. However, in HT, the maximum similarity of phytoplankton shifted to post-monsoon (63.85%) and the minimum during the pre-monsoon (46.71%). The mean value of richness (d') and Shannon's diversity (H') showed a moderate phytoplankton diversity in the system. The environmental parameters (water temperature > pH > nitrate > salinity > DO > Alk > silicate) have a greater influence on the distribution of the phytoplankton community with tides as revealed by the Canonical correspondence analysis. Therefore, it has been found that tides play a significant role in the distribution and abundance of the phytoplankton community in a mesotidal creek environment.

Death on the permafrost: Revisiting the 1918-20 influenza pandemic in Alaska using death certificates.

The 1918-20 influenza pandemic devastated Alaska's Indigenous populations. We report on quantitative analyses of pandemic deaths due to pneumonia and influenza (P&I) using information from Alaska death certificates dating between 1915 and 1921 (n=7,147). Goals include a reassessment of pandemic death numbers, analysis of P&I deaths beyond 1919, estimates of excess mortality patterns overall and by age using intercensal population estimates based on Alaska's demographic history, and comparisons between Alaska Native (AN) and non-AN residents. Results indicate that ANs experienced 83% of all P&I deaths and 87% of all-cause excess deaths during the pandemic. AN mortality was 8.1 times higher than non-AN mortality. Analyses also uncovered previously unknown mortality peaks in 1920. Both subpopulations showed characteristically high mortality of young adults, possibly due to imprinting with the 1889-90 pandemic virus, but their age-specific mortality patterns were different: non-AN mortality declined after age 25-29 and stayed relatively low for the elderly, while AN mortality increased after age 25-29, peaked at age 40-44, and remained high up to age 64. This suggests a relative lack of exposure to H1-type viruses pre-1889 among AN persons. In contrast, non-AN persons, often temporary residents, may have gained immunity before moving to Alaska.

The Effect of Spatial Vulnerability and Fear of Crime on Residential Satisfaction in FCA: Comparison of Native and Foreign Residents

The Intersection of Gender, Migration, and Urbanisation in Shaping Community Identities and Social Structures

This paper explores in depth the cross influence of three factors, gender, migration and urbanization, in shaping community identity and social structure. As the basic element of social composition, gender not only affects the self-perception of individuals, but also shapes the collective identity at the community level. As an important driving force of community development, the cultural diversity and social dynamics brought about by immigration have had a profound impact on community identity. However, urbanization, as an important feature of modern society, has had a significant impact on community identity and social structure by changing the physical and social environment of communities. In terms of community identity, the adjustment and remodeling of gender roles and gender relationships are an important part of community development.Simultaneously, the integration of immigrants involves the reshaping and rediscovery of identity, enhancing the complexity of community identity through interactions and contrasts with native residents. Moreover, urbanization-induced community shifts and population movements further complicate and diversify this identity. In terms of social structure, the promotion of gender equality awareness helps to break the shackles of traditional social structure and promote the community to a more equitable and inclusive direction. The influx of immigrants brings new social classes and interest groups and have an important impact on the social structure of the community. The rapid advancement of urbanization intensifies the differentiation and reorganization of social structure, which makes the class differences and conflicts of interest within the community more obvious. Gender, immigration, and urbanization have close intersections in shaping community identity and social structure. These three factors interact and influence each other to jointly promote the development and change of the community.

Introduced mammalian predators influence demography and trait variation of a New Zealand stag beetle

Most species co-evolve with their predators and develop strategies to avoid predation. This is not possible when a novel predator invades an environment. Native residents must quickly adapt to their new predator or face local extinction. Intense competition for mating opportunities exerts significant selective pressure that can drive the evolution of exaggerated structures across taxa. However, these elaborate traits can elevate the risk of predation for some organisms. In the present study, we observe the effect that rats have had on a population of endemic New Zealand stag beetles, Geodorcus helmsi. Rats in Rakiura | Stewart Island often prey on stag beetles, taking them to a sheltered area to eat them and discard any uneaten parts of the beetle, namely the head and mandibles. We compared the head size, mandible size and numbers of predated and non-predated male and female beetles in three sites in Rakiura | Stewart Island that differ in their abundance of mammalian predators. We found that the population demography and the size of the beetles differed significantly between sites. Additionally, we determined whether predated beetles were larger than non-predated beetles, across multiple years, regardless of site. We found that overall the predated specimens were larger than the non-predated beetles. The trends found here suggest that exaggeration of the male mandibles increases the predation risk of these iconic beetles, acting as a limit to mandible size.Implications for insect conservationOur results show for the first time the effect that novel predators can have on a population of animals with exaggerated sexually selected traits. The presence of novel predators can cause a shift in both population demography and trait distribution.

Factors Associated with Public Water Supply Unreliability

Public water supply unreliability is a problem that causes human hardships and remains common in the United States. In this paper, we attempt to examine the factors associated with public water supply unreliability. We measure public water service unreliability by the issuance of boil water notices (BWNs). By using a Negative Binomial regression model and data from West Virginia community water systems in 2020, we find that water systems that purchase their water from other water systems, have more educated and experienced operators, and serve high-income areas and a higher percentage of Native residents are expected to issue more BWNs. On the other hand, water systems that are small and serve a higher percentage of rural, educated, employed residents are expected to issue fewer BWNs. The findings emphasize the need to move beyond simplistic assumptions about water system reliability and consider the combined influence of technical, socio-economic, and demographic factors.

Changing Tourism Trends and Vulnerability Assessment of Built Environment in Hill Stations of Indian Himalayan Region.

Tourist arrivals in the Indian Himalayan region have led to an increase of 1.6 times the population of the native residents in 2019. The trend of winter tourism among foreign tourists, along with adventure and pilgrimage tourism, has resulted in an average annual growth of 28.78% between 2002 and 2013. This study focuses on the changing tourism and climatic trends in tourist hotspots of the Indian Himalayan Region (IHR) to evaluate the vulnerability of the built environment, which arises from the increasing demand for tourist infrastructure. The approach taken in this research is based on secondary literature available and case studies of emerging tourist centers in and around Shimla region of Himachal Pradesh. According to records from 2019-20, domestic tourism has increased in Himachal Pradesh by 4.57% and in Shimla by 5.51%. However, the changing trends and the tourist demand for fast, unplanned infrastructure growth can lead to over-tourism and disaster vulnerability. Therefore, there is a need to consider the risk and change management in the fragile ecosystem of IHR through analysis of climatic and tourism trends. To achieve this, computerized tools such as Real-Time Systems, Intelligent Transport Systems, and Neural networks projects are suggested for feasibility and assessment of proposed tourism infrastructure projects. The suggested process will strengthen the project vision by benefiting the policymakers, stakeholders, and tourists while maintaining eco-friendly tourism opportunities through project performance management.

Population decline and public attitudes toward multicultural immigration policies in South Korea

AbstractPopulation decline due to low fertility and aging causes socioeconomic challenges such as a shrinking labour force and regional decline. In response to these challenges, there is a growing discussion about accepting immigrants to mitigate the side effects of population decline. This implies the importance of analyzing local peoples' perceptions as a basis of policy and planning in anticipation of demographic transitions toward a multicultural society. While there are many studies on local problems caused by depopulation and perceptions of immigrants based on contact theory and group threat theory, there has been relatively little research on the relationship between depopulation and individual perceptions of immigrants. This study fills this gap by using survey data of Seoul, Korea, the city experiencing both population decline and an increase in immigrants. It employs the multilevel ordered logit model to explore how the decrease in local population associates with individuals' perception on the need for multicultural immigration policies. The results suggest that individuals are more likely to have a positive view of multicultural immigration policies if their region is experiencing a higher population decline. This finding is significant as it demonstrates that a shift to an unfavourable demographic structure can have a positive impact on perceptions of immigrant acceptance, offering a new perspective on the relationship between immigrants and native residents.

Critical pregnancy at altitude: A look at Latin America

Critical pregnancy at high altitudes increases morbidity and mortality from 2500 m above sea level. In addition to altitude, there are other influential factors such as social inequalities, cultural, prehospital barriers, and lack the appropriate development of healthcare infrastructure. The most frequent causes of critical pregnancy leading to admission to Intensive Care Units are pregnancy hypertensive disorders (native residents seem to be more protected), hemorrhages and infection/sepsis. In Latin America, there are 32 Intensive Care Units above 2500 m above sea level. Arterial blood gases at altitude are affected by changes in barometric pressure. The analysis of their values provides very useful information for the management of obstetric emergencies at very high altitude, especially respiratory and metabolic pathologies.

Potentially Avoidable Hospitalizations Among Historically Marginalized Nursing Home Residents

Nursing home (NH) transfers to hospitals are common and have been associated with cognitive decline; approximately 45% of NH hospital transfers are potentially avoidable hospitalizations (PAHs). To determine PAH incidence for historically marginalized NH residents with severe cognitive impairment compared with non-Hispanic White residents. This cross-sectional study merged 2018 Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services datasets and LTCFocus, a public dataset on US NH care, for US NH residents aged 65 years and older who had a hospitalization. Analyses were performed from January to May 2022. Race and ethnicity of NH residents. Racial and ethnic differences in resident-level annual rates of PAHs were estimated for residents with and without severe cognitive impairment (measured using the Cognitive Function Scale), controlling for resident characteristics, comorbidities, dual eligibility, and time at risk. PAHs were defined as NH hospital transfers that resulted from neglectful NH care or for which NH treatment would have been appropriate. Of 2 098 385 NH residents nationwide included in the study, 7151 (0.3%) were American Indian or Alaska Native, 39 873 (1.9%) were Asian, 229 112 (10.9%) were Black or African American, 99 304 (4.7%) were Hispanic, 2785 (0.1%) were Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, 1 713 670 (81.7%) were White, and 6490 (0.3%) were multiracial; 1 355 143 (64.6%) were female; 128 997 (6.2%) were severely cognitively impaired; and the mean (SD) age was 81.8 (8.7) years. PAH incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were significantly greater for residents with severe cognitive impairment compared with those without. In unadjusted analyses comparing historically marginalized residents with severe cognitive impairment vs non-Hispanic White residents with severe cognitive impairment, American Indian or Alaska Native residents had a 49% higher PAH incidence (IRR, 1.49 [95% CI, 1.10-2.01]), Black or African American residents had a 64% higher incidence (IRR, 1.64 [95% CI, 1.48-1.81]), and Hispanic residents had a 45% higher incidence (IRR, 1.45 [95% CI, 1.29-1.62]). Higher incidences persisted for historically marginalized residents with severe cognitive impairment vs non-Hispanic White residents with severe cognitive impairment in adjusted analyses. Asian residents had a 24% higher PAH incidence (IRR, 1.24 [95% CI, 1.06-1.45]), Black or African American residents had a 48% higher incidence (IRR, 1.48 [95% CI, 1.36-1.60]), and Hispanic residents had a 27% higher incidence (IRR, 1.27 [95% CI, 1.16-1.39]). In this cross-sectional study of PAHs, compared with non-Hispanic White NH residents, historically marginalized residents had increased PAH incidence. In the presence of severe cognitive impairment, incidence rates increased significantly compared with rates for residents without severe cognitive impairment. These results suggest that identification of residents with severe cognitive impairment and proper NH care may help prevent further cognitive decline by avoiding PAHs.

Hepatitis C virus subtype diversity and transmission clusters characteristics among drug users in Zhuhai, South China

BackgroundHepatitis C virus (HCV) infection poses a major public health challenge globally, especially among injecting drug users. China has the world’s largest burden of HCV infections. However, little is known about the characteristics of transmission networks among drug user populations. This study aims to investigate the molecular epidemiology and transmission characteristics of HCV infections among drug users in Zhuhai, a bustling port city connecting Mainland China and its Special Administrative Regions.MethodsParticipants enrolled in this study were drug users incarcerated at Zhuhai’s drug rehabilitation center in 2015. Their sociodemographic and behavioral information, including gender, promiscuity, drug use method, and so forth, was collected using a standardized questionnaire. Plasmas separated from venous blood were analyzed for HCV infection through ELISA and RT-PCR methods to detect anti-HCV antibodies and HCV RNA. The 5’UTR fragment of the HCV genome was amplified and further sequenced for subtype identifications and phylogenetic analysis. The phylogenetic tree was inferred using the Maximum Likelihood method based on the Tamura-Nei model, and the transmission cluster network was constructed using Cytoscape3.8.0 software with a threshold of 0.015. Binary logistic regression models were employed to assess the factors associated with HCV infection.ResultsThe overall prevalence of HCV infection among drug users was 44.37%, with approximately 19.69% appearing to clear the HCV virus successfully. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that those aged over 40, engaging in injecting drug use, and being native residents were at heightened risk for HCV infection among drug user cohorts. The predominant HCV subtypes circulating among those drug users were 6a (60.26%), followed by 3b (16.7%), 3a (12.8%), 1b (6.41%) and 1a (3.85%), respectively. Molecular transmission network analysis unveiled the presence of six transmission clusters, with the largest propagation cluster consisting of 41 individuals infected with HCV subtype 6a. Furthermore, distinct transmission clusters involved eight individuals infected with subtype 3b and seven with subtype 3a were also observed.ConclusionThe genetic transmission networks revealed a complex transmission pattern among drug users in Zhuhai, emphasizing the imperative for a targeted and effective intervention strategy to mitigate HCV dissemination. These insights are pivotal for shaping future national policies on HCV screening, treatment, and prevention in port cities.

Language attitudes and fluid identities: perceptions from Shenzhen-Hong Kong cross-border students

ABSTRACT Shenzhen-Hong Kong cross-border students (CBS) represent a distinctive Hong Kong student community residing in Shenzhen, a city within Mainland China. Their lifestyle bridging these two cities has wielded significant influence over their language attitudes and identities. This research adopts a quantitative approach, conducting a questionnaire survey among 505 CBS individuals to explore their attitudes towards Putonghua, English, Cantonese, and their hometown dialect, as well as their identities. Findings reveal that Putonghua receives the highest ratings in both integrative and instrumental dimensions, the hometown dialect receives the lowest instrumental rating while English scores lowest from the integrative perspective. Notably, CBS demonstrates a stronger Chinese national identity compared to native Hong Kong residents. Their regional identity is characterised by a prevalent ‘dual identity’ embracing both Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Merely about one-fourth of the students identify with their social role as ‘CBS’. Statistical analysis emphasises the tangible impact of CBS’ language attitudes on their identities. The frequent and intimate social interactions between CBS and Mainland China emerge as a pivotal factor contributing to their notably more favourable attitude towards Putonghua and heightened national identity, distinguishing them from native Hong Kong residents.

The Medium is the Messenger A Quantitative Study on the Relation between Social Media Services and Neighbourhood Social Interactions

Internet-based social networking services (ISNS) like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and others have revolutionized the way people connect, enabling interactions across great distances. This has sparked a debate about the impact of ISNS use on face-to-face contact, particularly within neighbourhoods. Some argue that ISNS diminish the significance of local physical place and hinder meaningful interactions, especially among neighbours. Conversely, others view ISNS as tools that foster new forms of connectedness and enhance relationships within neighbourhoods by creating opportunities to engage with existing peers. However, there is a significant knowledge gap regarding the varying effects of ISNS on offline social interaction within neighbourhoods. Do different ISNS, including messenger services, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and neighbourhood-specific social networks (e.g.nebenan.de), 1 have distinct effects on offline social interaction within neighbourhoods? Are there differences in usage between native residents and migrants? We analyse data from a 2022 postal survey conducted in two German cities (Essen and Cologne), involving 2, 676 residents in 166 neighbourhoods. The results from our multiple linear regression model show that the impact of different ISNS on social interactions varies. Messenger services and neighbourhood-specific social networks have a positive impact on social interactions within the neighbourhood. However, popular social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter do not significantly affect social interactions within the neighbourhood. Additionally, individuals from the native population do have more social interaction with their neighbours compared to those with a migration background.

Community Attitudes towards Mangrove Management in Teluk Sulaiman Village, Berau Regency, Indonesia

This research aims to determine the value of community attitudes in Teluk Sulaiman in mangrove management and the factors that influence attitudes. This is a descriptive research using questionnaire and observation as data collection methods. Attitude measurement uses cognitive, affective, and conative aspects. To assess attitudes a Likert scale with SPSS processing is used. The results of the study obtained that the attitudes of the people in this village were positive with a value of 4.15, where the cognitive aspect value was 4.13, affective aspect 4.35 and conative aspect 3.96. The factor that influences attitude values is income. Meanwhile, other factors, such as age, and number of family members do not have a significant effect. Length of stay factor has a sufficient relationship with attitude value. The attitude scores seen from the gender segment do not have a significant difference, although in general the attitude scores of men are higher than women. The attitude scores of immigrants and native residents do not have a significant difference, although in general the attitude scores of immigrants are higher than those of native residents.
