From records to actions: Mediating civic data and environmental activism in Taiwan
This article reconceptualizes environmental data activism as situated practices that mediate actions through data infrastructures and translation. Drawing on participant observation, interviews, and document analysis of two environmental NGOs (ENGOs) in Taiwan and their collaborations with civic-tech communities, we identify three key roles of ENGOs in environmental data activism: (1) extracting and infrastructuring datasets; (2) translating and …
Environmental activism in the platform society: Spatial agency in digital maps
Digital maps structure how we understand and interact with space while simultaneously affording agency and the potential for an alternative use of space. This article investigates how digital maps exercise data and spatial agency. Our empirical object is the environmental mobile mapping application water refill map (WRM, Hong-Te/ Fengcha Action 奉茶行動) in Taiwan. Drawing on the walk-through method and semi-structured interviews with WRM’s founders,…
Living alone decreased calcaneus ultrasound T-score in a large Taiwanese population follow-up study
Background Osteoporosis is associated with many serious health conditions that have a severely negative impact on quality of life, as well as higher rates of morbidity and mortality. Due to the aging society and low birth rate in Taiwan, an increasing number of people are living alone. This longitudinal study was aimed to assess the relationship between living alone and calcaneus ultrasound T -score in a large cohort in Taiwan. Methods A total of…
Examining the Benefits of Greenness on Reducing Suicide Mortality Rate: A Global Ecological Study
Objective: This study applied an ecological-based analysis aimed to evaluate on a global scale the association between greenness exposure and suicide mortality. Methods: Suicide mortality data provided by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) were employed. The generalized additive mixed model was applied to evaluate with an adjustment of covariates the association between greenness …
Exploring the Potential Relationship Between Global Greenness and Daly Loss Due to Depressive Disorders
Objective Prior studies have shown that greenness can reduce the burden of depressive disorders. However, most were focused on local-scale analyses while limited evaluated globally. We aimed to investigate the association between greenness and the burden of depressive disorders using data from 183 countries worldwide. Methods We used the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) to estimate greenness. Country-level disability-adjusted life ye…
Is green space exposure beneficial in a developing country
The Effect of Surrounding Greenness on Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort in Taiwan
This study determines whether surrounding greenness is associated with the incidence of type 2 diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) in Taiwan. A retrospective cohort study determines the relationship between surrounding greenness and the incidence of T2DM during the study period of 2001-2012 using data from the National Health Insurance Research Database. The satellite-derived normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) from the global MODIS database in th…
Applying Novel Genome-Wide Linkage Strategies to Search for Loci Influencing Type 2 Diabetes and Adult Height in American Samoa
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a common complex phenotype that by the year 2010 is predicted to affect 221 million people globally. In the present study we performed a genome-wide linkage scan using the allele-sharing statistic Sall implemented in Allegro and a novel two-dimensional genome-wide strategy implemented in Merloc that searches for pairwise interaction between genetic markers located on different chromosomes linked to T2DM. In addi…
Latino Populations: A Unique Opportunity for the Study of Race, Genetics, and Social Environment in Epidemiological Research
Latinos are the largest minority population in the United States. Although usually classified as a single ethnic group by researchers, Latinos are heterogeneous from cultural, socioeconomic, and genetic perspectives. From a cultural and social perspective, Latinos represent a wide variety of national origins and ethnic and cultural groups, with a full spectrum of social class. From a genetic perspective, Latinos are descended from indigenous Amer…
