  • Occurrence and persistence of symptoms, diagnoses and prescriptions after community-diagnosed Covid-19

    Kevin Wing, Caroline Morton et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2026References: 22

    BACKGROUND: We aimed to explore the occurrence and persistence of symptoms, diagnoses and prescribing after COVID-19 among populations from earlier (wave 2) and later (wave 4) in the pandemic. METHODS: With the approval of NHS England, we analysed data from English primary care using The Phoenix Partnership SystmOne through the OpenSAFELY data analytics platform. Individuals with community-diagnosed COVID-19 September 2020-January 2021 (wave 2) w…

  • Ethnic differences in Sars-CoV-2 infection and Covid-19-related hospitalisation, intensive care unit admission, and death in 17 million adults in England

    Open AccessRohini Mathur, Christopher T Rentsch et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2021

    BACKGROUND: COVID-19 has disproportionately affected minority ethnic populations in the UK. Our aim was to quantify ethnic differences in SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 outcomes during the first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in England. METHODS: We conducted an observational cohort study of adults (aged ≥18 years) registered with primary care practices in England for whom electronic health records were available through the OpenSAF…

  • UK prevalence of underlying conditions which increase the risk of severe Covid-19 disease

    Open AccessJemma Walker, Jemma L Walker et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    The population at risk of severe COVID-19 (defined as either aged ≥70 years, or younger with an underlying health condition) comprises 18.5 million individuals in the UK, including a considerable proportion of school-aged and working-aged individuals. Our national estimates broadly support the use of Global Burden of Disease modelled estimates in other countries. We provide age- and region- stratified prevalence for each condition to support effe…

  • Climate change and the increasing vulnerability of the poor in the Commonwealth

    Ian DouglasARTICLEThe Round Table2021References: 1

    Many millions of the most-deprived people of the Commonwealth live in highly vulnerable locations: the tropical countries affected by cyclones (hurricanes or typhoons). Tropical cyclone intensities have been increasing since the mid-1990s. Their tracks may be shifting poleward. The associated storm surges are growing in height and severity. From the Caribbean to eastern Africa, the islands of the Indian Ocean, South Asia, Australia and the Pacifi…

  • The Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessIan Douglas, Mark Champion et al.ARTICLESocio-Ecological Practice Research2020

    The global COVID-19 pandemic is affecting everyone, but in many different ways, stimulating contrasting reactions and responses: opportunities for some, difficulties for many. A simple survey of how individual workers in urban ecology have been coping with COVID-19 constraints found divergent responses to COVID-19 on people’s activities, both within countries and between continents. Many academics felt frustrated at being unable to do fieldwork, …

  • Covid-19 compassion in self-isolating old age

    Open AccessIan DouglasARTICLESocio-Ecological Practice Research2020

    Self-isolating with my wife, I feel gratitude and compassion for all those supporting us, particularly those who regularly deliver our food and our immediate family members who check on us frequently. My compassion goes out to those on the “frontline”, particularly my niece and her daughter who are both nurses in a major hospital and who developed and recovered from COVID-19 symptoms. More broadly, I recognise that there are many communities that…

    In this reflective essay of intellectual autobiography, I respond to a series of questions the journal editor Wei-Ning Xiang asked about my 55-year journey from applied geography to socio-ecological practice research. These are (1) what and/or who had inspired your career most in geography and socio-ecological practice research? (2) Throughout your 55-year academic journey, did you ever reorient your ambitions in scholarly pursuit, or even reinve…

  • Association of BMI with overall and cause-specific mortality

    Open AccessKrishnan Bhaskaran, Isabel Dos-Santos-Silva et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology2018

    Background BMI is known to be strongly associated with all-cause mortality, but few studies have been large enough to reliably examine associations between BMI and a comprehensive range of cause-specific mortality outcomes. Methods In this population-based cohort study, we used UK primary care data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) linked to national mortality registration data and fitted adjusted Cox regression models to examin…

  • Urban Ecology

    Open AccessIan DouglasCHAPTERInternational Encyclopedia of…2017

    Firmly rooted in ecology, urban ecology is the study of urban areas as a series of habitats for human beings and other organisms. It is cross‐disciplinary and may be divided into four key themes: ecology and urban public health, ecology in cities, ecology of cities, and ecology for cities. Urban ecology has diverse roots in social‐spatial analysis, landscape and urban planning, the colonization of urban areas by fauna and flora, and integrated st…

  • "A good day to see a bobcat"

    Open AccessMichelle M Kazmer, Nicole D Alemanne et al.ARTICLEFirst Monday2016

    This paper presents findings from a qualitative analysis of electronic journal entries created by elementary school students during field trips to a nature center. The field trips were part of the Habitat Tracker project (http://tracker.cci.fsu.edu/) designed to help elementary students learn about scientific practices. The Habitat Tracker team developed a mobile app and accompanying Web site integrated with a standards-based science curriculum. …

    Many of the urban poor in Africa face growing problems of severe flooding. Increased storm frequency and intensity related to climate change are exacerbated by such local factors as the growing occupation of floodplains, increased runoff from hard surfaces, inadequate waste management and silted-up drainage. One can distinguish four types of flooding in urban areas: localized flooding due to inadequate drainage; flooding from small streams within…

  • Environmental Change in Peri-Urban Areas and Human and Ecosystem Health

    Open AccessIan DouglasARTICLEGeography Compass2008Cited by: 2References: 101

    Rapidly changing peri-urban areas have great ecological and human land-use diversity. Contrasting habitats abound. However, little is known about the way that the biodiversity of a whole urban area depends on the variety of habitats and the linkages, migration and dispersal patterns between them. Great opportunities exist for extending these concepts in both the rapidly expanding manufacturing and commercial cities of Latin America and Asia and i…

  • Local Knowledge and Economic Realities Affecting Soil Erosion in the Rach Rat Catchment, Vietnam

    Open AccessDao Kim Nguyen Thuy Binh, Le T V Phuong et al.ARTICLEGeographical Research2008Cited by: 1References: 13

    Several parts of Binh Phuóc Province, southern Vietnam, suffer from degraded soils and vegetation as a result of both natural erosion of weak mud rocks and sandstones and intensive human activity, especially through land clearing for agriculture on unstable slopes, deforestation, and abandonment of poor farmland. The underlying cause of this land degradation has been the farming habits of migrants of varying ethnic groups who have settled in the …

  • The Local Drivers of Land Degradation in South-East Asia

    Open AccessIan DouglasARTICLEGeographical Research2006Cited by: 3References: 18

    Economic globalisation has led to a huge increase in demand for food, goods and services by expanding urban middle class populations. These demands cause environmental changes that in turn feed back upon the urban environment and human population. While the global changes are well researched, the cumulative significance of local environmental changes is less well known. Yet, the local changes may have greater impact on the decisions which individ…
