The distribution of air pollution in urban environments is greatly influenced by its source and the complexity of the urban environment, which determine the pollution concentrations in individual locations. Traffic is one of the main pollution sources in cities and, especially particulate matter (PM) poses a serious risk for public health. This study applies magnetic biomonitoring using moss bags to establish an extensive urba...

Despite well-documented poor health outcomes among homebound older adults with diabetes, little is known about how homebound status affects glycemic outcomes. This study examined the association between homebound status and glycemic control among community-dwelling older adults with diabetes and identified key factors associated with glycemic outcomes. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using data from the 2017 National H...

Knowing the relationship between catch per unit effort (CPUE) and population density is crucial for the management of recreational fisheries. We conducted standardized angling for pike in 16 lakes (3.4–22.1 ha) to test whether lure type, color, and pike density affect CPUE and the size of captured fish. Angling CPUE (fish h −1 km −1 ) was statistically significantly related to pike density (fish ha −1 ), despite the high varia...

Oil palm smallholders in Indonesia use low amounts of fertilizer, leading to nutrient deficiencies and low yields and profits. This study examines the reasons for limited fertilizer use to identify opportunities for improving fertilizer management. This is vital to support smallholder livelihoods and to reduce the need to clear new land for oil palm cultivation. We explored agronomic and socio-economic factors influencing fert...

Despite landmark breakthroughs in cancer research, African American adults (AA) bear the highest cancer burden compared to other racial groups in the United States (US). AA adults have twice the likelihood of dying from prostate and uterine cancers compared to White adults, suggesting that there are fundamental issues yet to be addressed when developing and implementing cancer-preventative programs for AA communities. Communit...
