Shining light on the scale, use, and impact of household solar for achieving energy access in rural Malawi
Geographic dimensions of gastric cancer risk in western Honduras
Gastric cancer is fifth most common cancer globally, with a complex and multifactorial etiology, including human and bacterial genetics, health behaviors, and environmental exposures. Honduras has among the highest rates of gastric cancer in the western hemisphere, and previous research indicates that gastric cancer risk varies geographically at a sub-national scale. We analyzed characteristics of all 788 incident cases diagnosed in western Hondu…
Sars-CoV-2 testing in North Carolina
SARS-CoV-2 testing data in North Carolina during the first three months of the state's COVID-19 pandemic were analyzed to determine if there were disparities among intersecting axes of identity including race, Latinx ethnicity, age, urban-rural residence, and residence in a medically underserved area. Demographic and residential data were used to reconstruct patterns of testing metrics (including tests per capita, positive tests per capita, and t…
Considering Alternate Pathways of Drinking-Water Contamination
Deep tubewells are a key component of arsenic mitigation programs in rural Bangladesh. Compared to widely prevalent shallow tubewells, deep tubewells reduce ground-water arsenic exposure and provide better microbial water quality at source. However, the benefits of clean drinking-water at these more distant sources may be abated by higher levels of microbial contamination at point-of-use. One such potential pathway is the use of contaminated surf…
Integrating sketch mapping and hot spot analysis to enhance capacity for community-level flood and disaster risk management
This community-based research aims to enhance local-level flood management by utilising participatory geographic information systems (PGIS) methods to capture the spatial dimensions of community member flooding concerns in Hopkins Village, Belize. We offer a mixed methodology, applying participatory sketch mapping as a way to collect local knowledge about community perceptions of flooding in this data-scarce context. We combine this local knowled…
Clines and clusters versus “Race
The biological affinities of the ancient Egyptians were tested against their neighbors and selected prehistoric groups as well as against samples representing the major geographic population clusters of the world. Two dozen craniofacial measurements were taken on each individual used. The raw measurements were converted into C scores and used to produce Euclidean distance dendrograms. The measurements were principally of adaptively trivial traits…
