Bayesian Spatial Framework for Quantifying Uncertainty in Labor Market Delineation
Labor market delineation typically relies on deterministic regionalization algorithms that treat commuting flows as fixed inputs and produce a single optimal partition. These approaches obscure uncertainty in boundary placement and cannot distinguish stable labor market cores from transitional regions where affiliation is ambiguous. We develop a Bayesian framework for quantifying uncertainty in labor market boundaries by integrating hierarchical …
Adaptive simulated annealing for autonomous labour market delimitation
Labour market areas (LMAs) are functional regions where job workers and employers interact to exchange labour services, playing a crucial role in regional economic analysis and policy-making. Accurate LMA definitions help ensure that regional boundaries reflect actual labour market dynamics. However, most existing methods for defining LMAs are susceptible to threshold values, which can vary significantly across regions due to differences in spati…
Emulating human expertise in rezoning
Large geographical areas must be rezoned into smaller areas to support spatial statistical analyses providing community-level insights. The rezoning process is influenced by qualitative and subjective agency-specific requirements, leading to challenges such as information loss, and limited results comparability. This study aims to quantify and compare common rezoning criteria - compactness, homogeneity and equality, and explainspatial scientists'…
Conversion motifs among Muslim converts in the United States
Although much is now known about religious conversion in general, there is still relatively little known about how and why conversion to Islam takes place in the United States. Expanding on previous research, the current study examines types of conversions among United States Muslim converts. Seventy-three converts to Islam, all United States residents, provided detailed qualitative descriptions of their personal experiences of religious conversi…
The Role of Mistrust in the Modelling of Opinion Adoption
Societies tend to partition into factions based on shared beliefs, leading to sectarian conflict in society. This paper investigates mistrust as a cause for this partitioning by extending an established opinion dynamics model with Bayesian updating that specifies mistrust as the underlying mechanism for disagreement and, ultimately, polarisation. We demonstrate that mistrust is at the foundation of polarisation. Detailed analysis and the results …
Bayesian Spatial Survival Models for Hospitalisation of Dengue
Spatial models are becoming more popular in time-to-event data analysis. Commonly, the intrinsic conditional autoregressive prior is placed on an area level frailty term to allow for correlation between areas. We considered a range of Bayesian Weibull and Cox semiparametric spatial models to describe a dataset on hospitalisation of dengue. This paper aimed to extend these two models, to evaluate the suitability of these models for estimation and …
Ethnic Diversity and Its Impact on Community Social Cohesion and Neighborly Exchange
Putnam’s “constrict theory” suggests that ethnic diversity creates challenges for developing and sustaining social capital in urban settings. He argues that diversity decreases social cohesion and reduces social interactions among community residents. While Putnam’s thesis is the subject of much debate in North America, the United Kingdom, and Europe, there is a limited focus on how ethnic diversity impacts upon social cohesion and neighborly exc…

Violence in and around Entertainment Districts
Violence in entertainment districts is a major problem across urban landscapes throughout the world. Research shows that licensed premises are the third most common location for homicides and serious assaults, accounting for one in ten fatal and nonfatal assaults. One class of interventions that aims to reduce violence in entertainment districts involves the use of civil remedies: a group of strategies that use civil or regulatory measures as leg…
This Harlem Life
This article uses Probation Department files to reconstruct the lives of five ordinary residents of Harlem. It highlights what that black metropolis offered those outside the political and cultural elite, who have dominated historical scholarship, showing how ordinary blacks negotiated the challenges of life in northern neighborhoods, and drew on institutions and organizations, to establish and sustain new lives. We offer the kind of individualiz…
Does the school fruit and vegetable scheme improve children’s diet? A non-randomised controlled trial
Objective: Evaluation of the impact on diet of the school fruit and vegetable scheme (SFVS). Design: Non-randomised controlled trial. Setting: Infant and primary schools in the north of England. Participants: 3703 children aged four to six years (reception, year 1, and year 2). Intervention: One portion of fruit or vegetable provided per child on each school day between February and December 2004. Main outcome measures: Fruit and vegetables consu…

Treaty Federalism in Northern Canada
Treaty federalism in North America encompasses not only governance implications of the historic treaties signed with Aboriginal peoples, but also the modern-day treaties known as “comprehensive land claim agreements.” This article explores how treaty federalism is realized in Northern Canada through claims-mandated joint government-Aboriginal boards dealing with wildlife management, land-use planning, and environmental protection. These boards, e…

The NCEP/NCAR 40-Year Reanalysis Project
The NCEP and NCAR are cooperating in a project (denoted “reanalysis”) to produce a 40-year record of global analyses of atmospheric fields in support of the needs of the research and climate monitoring communities. This effort involves the recovery of land surface, ship, rawinsonde, pibal, aircraft, satellite, and other data; quality controlling and assimilating these data with a data assimilation system that is kept unchanged over the reanalysis…
