This paper presents an analysis on accessibility of healthcare facilities in Enugu urban area in a GIS environment. This was achieved through acquisition of a base map of Enugu State showing geographic extent of Enugu Urban, determining the geometric positions of health institutions in Enugu urban using handheld GPS, Creation of a spatial database of existing healthcare facilities and demonstrating through various analyses the potentials of GIS in measurement of accessibility to healthcare facilities in Enugu urban Area. The analysis includes network analysis, used to determine the closeness of a facility and shortest route to these healthcare facilities. ARCGIS 9.3 was the main software used. This was supported by Geocal for coordinate conversion and Microsoft office packages. The result of the study showed the spatial distribution of health institutions, closest facilities in case of emergency and route to those health institutions within Enugu urban Area. It was noticed that most of the healthcare facilities were located within Enugu North local government area (LGA). Other settlements and LGAs had fewer healthcare facilities. Areas deprived of healthcare facility were also identified. Routes and closest facilities to those deprived areas were identified in the settlements/area. The analysis showed the efficacy of GIS in determining accessibility of healthcare institutions in Enugu urban area. The study is thus, recommended as a spatial decision support system for decisions regarding spatial accessibility of healthcare facilities in an urban area.展开更多

This study examined clinic volume and accessibility’s association with hospitalization duration among disabled elderly people in 13 municipalities in Japan;additionally, this study compared clinic volume and accessibility’s ability to explain hospitalization duration in this population. Home care clinics’ service volume and geographic accessibility were calculated for 17 municipalities using public data and geographic information systems. We analyzed medical claim data from October 2012;the sample included 22,662 persons who were aged ≥75 years, certified as disabled in daily living, and lived in 13 municipalities regarding which data could be obtained for all examined municipality characteristics. Multilevel logistic models with random intercepts were constructed for municipalities and individual- and municipality-level independent variables in order to examine home care clinic volume and accessibility’s correlation with hospitalization duration. Clinic volume ranged from 0 to 9.53 per 10,000 elderly people;clinic accessibility ranged from 0% to 83%. Clinic volume and accessibility were both significantly negatively correlated with hospitalization duration of ≥10 days (odds ratios, 0.944 and 0.713;confidence intervals, 0.914 - 0.974 and 0.553 - 0.921, respectively). Clinics were not homogeneously geographically distributed;clinic accessibility explained hospitalization duration better than clinic volume. Clinic accessibility may more accurately indicate care clinic allocation appropriateness than clinic volume.展开更多

文摘Background Endometrial receptivity(ERE)is a transient uterine state that determines the success of blastocyst implantation;however,the epigenomic regulation underlying ERE establishment in goats remains unclear.Here,we profiled transcriptional and epigenomic features of endometrial tissues from pregnant goats during the peri-implantation window and nonpregnant control goats in the regressed luteal phase to uncover the transcriptional regulatory networks responsible for ERE establishment in goats,utilizing RNA-seq,ATAC-seq,and H3 K27 ac CUT&Tag.Results A total of 3,143 differentially expressed genes(DEGs)were identified,accompanied by significant alterations in chromatin accessibility and H3 K27 ac modifications between receptive and non-receptive endometria.The targeted genes associated with these epigenetic changes were significantly enriched in pathways related to cell adhesion,immune tolerance,and embryo attachment.Motif enrichment and transcription factor(TF)footprinting analyses identified members of the FOS/JUN,SOX,HNF1,CEBP,and BATF families as candidate regulators,implicating downstream genes involved in ERE establishment,including SPP1,FOXO1,KLF4/6,STAT1,IFI6,ITGB8,PLAC8,DUSP4,NR1D1,ISG15,RUFY4,and PIK3R3.In addition,numerous super-enhancers were identified,indicating regions of high regulatory activity and potential long-range gene-enhancers interactions in the endometrium.Integration of multi-omics datasets revealed a strong correlation(r>0.7)among chromatin accessibility,H3 K27 ac activation,and the expression of 172 DEGs.Furthermore,a set of hub genes(KLF6,IFI6,MCL1,SDC4,SUSD6,MAFF,and IL6R)that appear to coordinate TF binding and distal super-enhancers activity associated with ERE establishment.Conclusions Our data provided an integrated epigenomic atlas of endometrial receptivity establishment in goats and identify candidate regulatory elements and transcription factors that may orchestrate uterine preparation for implantation.These findings offer valuable insights and testable targets for improving fertility in ruminant livestock.

文摘The accessibility of urban public transit directly influences residents’quality of life,travel behavior,and social equity.Its correlation with housing prices has garnered significant attention across disciplines such as geography,economics,and urban planning.Although much existing research focuses on the impact of individual transportation facilities on housing prices,there is a notable gap in comprehensive analyses that assess the influence of overall urban transit accessibility on housing market dynamics.This study selected the main urban area of Hefei,China,as a case to investigate the spatial distribution of housing prices and evaluate public transit accessibility in 2022.Employing techniques such as the optimized parameter geographical detector and local spatial regression models,the study aimed to elucidate the effects and underlying mechanisms of urban transit accessibility on housing prices.The findings revealed that:1)housing prices in Hefei exhibited a clustered spatial pattern,with high prices concentrated in the city center and lower prices in peripheral areas,forming three distinct high-price hotspots with a‘belt-like’distribution;2)public transit accessibility showed a‘coreperiphery’structure,with accessibility declining in a‘circumferential’pattern around the city center.Based on the‘housing price-accessibility’dimension,four categories were identified:high price-high accessibility(37.25%),high price-low accessibility(19.07%),low price-high accessibility(21.95%),and low price-low accessibility(21.73%);3)the impact of transit accessibility on housing prices was spatially heterogeneous,with bus travel showing the strongest explanatory power(0.692),followed by automobile,subway,and bicycle travel.The interaction of these transportation modes generated a synergistic effect on housing price differentiation,with most influencing factors contributing more than 25%.These findings offer valuable insights for optimizing the spatial distribution of public transit infrastructure and improving both urban housing quality and residents’living standards.

文摘Security and access control for data storage in 5G industrial Internet collaborative systems are facing significant challenges.The characteristics of 5 G networks,such as low latency and high speed,facilitate data transmission in the industrial Internet but also increase vulnerability to attacks like theft and tampering.Moreover,in 5G industrial Internet collaborative system environments,data flows across multiple entities and links,which necessitates a flexible access control model to meet specific data access requirements.Traditional role-based and attribute-based access control mechanisms are difficult to apply in such dynamic application scenarios.To address these challenges,we propose a novel data storage solution for 5G industrial Internet collaborative systems.Similar to existing approaches,it provides integrity and confidentiality protection for transmitted data.In terms of security,only authenticated data owners and users can obtain file decryption keys,preventing malicious attackers from data forgery.Regarding access control,decryption is permitted only to authorized data users,safeguarding against unauthorized file access.Furthermore,by introducing an attribute-based encryption mechanism,only data users with specific attributes can decrypt files.In terms of efficiency,our approach utilizes bilinear and modular exponentiation operations solely during the authentication process.For handling substantial data loads,lightweight cryptographic algorithms are employed.Consequently,our solution achieves higher efficiency compared with other known methods.Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of our approach in real-world applications.

文摘The spatial relationships between traffic accessibility and supply and demand(S&D)of ecosystem services(ESs)are essential for the formulation of ecological compensation policies and ESs regulation.In this study,an ESs matrix and coupling analysis method were used to assess ESs S&D based on land-use data for 2000,2010,and 2020,and spatial regression models were used to analyze the correlated impacts of traffic accessibility.The results showed that the ESs supply and balance index in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River urban agglomeration(MRYRUA)continuously decreased,while the demand index increased from 2000 to 2020.The Gini coefficients of these indices continued to increase but did not exceed the warning value(0.4).The coupling degree of ESs S&D continued to increase,and its spatial distribution patterns were similar to that of the ESs demand index,with significantly higher values in the plains than in the montane areas,contrasting with those of the ESs supply index.The results of global bivariate Moran’s I analysis showed a significant spatial dependence between traffic accessibility and the degree of coupling between ESs S&D;the spatial regression results showed that an increase in traffic accessibility promoted the coupling degree.The present results provide a new perspective on the relationship between traffic accessibility and the coupling degree of ESs S&D,representing a case study for similar future research in other regions,and a reference for policy creation based on the matching between ESs S&D in the MRYRUA.

文摘Accessibility is a representative indicator for evaluating the supply of bus system.Traditional studies have evaluated the accessibility from different aspects.Considering the interaction among land use,bus timetable arrangement and individual factors,a more holistic accessibility measurement is proposed to combine static and dynamic characteristics from multisource traffic data.The rationale of the proposed model is verified by a case study of bus system in Shenzhen,China,which is carried out to find the spatial and temporal discrepancy of service of bus system.It is found that the adjustment of bus schedule to time-varying travel demand can affect accessibility of bus system and that Land-use development,average bus speed and bus facilities all have positive effects on accessibility of bus system.These findings provide sig-nificant reference for transport planning and policy-making.The proposed model is not limited to accessibility measuring of bus system,but also applicable to other travel modes.

文摘The continuous degradation of ecosystem services is an important challenge faced by the world.Improvements in transportation infrastructure have had substantial impacts on economic development and ecosystem services.Exploring the influence of traffic accessibility on ecosystem services can delay or stop their deterioration;however,studies on its impact are lacking.This study addresses this gap by analysing the impact of traffic accessibility on ecosystem services using an integrated spatial regression approach based on an evaluation of the ecosystem services value(ESV)and traffic accessibility in the Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River Urban Agglomeration(MRYRUA)in China.The results indicated that the ESV in the MRYRUA continuously decreased during the study period,and the average ESV in plain areas,areas surrounding the core cities,and areas along the main traffic routes was significantly lower than that in areas along the Yangtze River and the surrounding mountainous areas.Traffic accessibility continued to increase during the study period,and the high-value areas centred on Wuhan,Changsha,Nanchang,and Yichang were radially distributed.The global bivariate spatial autocorrelation coefficient between the average ESV and traffic accessibility was negative.The average ESV and traffic accessibility exhibited significant spatial dependence and spatial heterogeneity.Spatial regression also proved that there was a negative association between the average ESV and traffic accessibility,and scale effects were evident.The findings of this study have important policy implications for future ecological protection and transportation planning.
文摘The problem of accessibility of health institution, with respect to the available facility to serve the entire population leaving in an area, can be solved using GIS. This paper presents an analysis on accessibility of healthcare facilities in Enugu urban area in a GIS environment. This was achieved through acquisition of a base map of Enugu State showing geographic extent of Enugu Urban, determining the geometric positions of health institutions in Enugu urban using handheld GPS, Creation of a spatial database of existing healthcare facilities and demonstrating through various analyses the potentials of GIS in measurement of accessibility to healthcare facilities in Enugu urban Area. The analysis includes network analysis, used to determine the closeness of a facility and shortest route to these healthcare facilities. ARCGIS 9.3 was the main software used. This was supported by Geocal for coordinate conversion and Microsoft office packages. The result of the study showed the spatial distribution of health institutions, closest facilities in case of emergency and route to those health institutions within Enugu urban Area. It was noticed that most of the healthcare facilities were located within Enugu North local government area (LGA). Other settlements and LGAs had fewer healthcare facilities. Areas deprived of healthcare facility were also identified. Routes and closest facilities to those deprived areas were identified in the settlements/area. The analysis showed the efficacy of GIS in determining accessibility of healthcare institutions in Enugu urban area. The study is thus, recommended as a spatial decision support system for decisions regarding spatial accessibility of healthcare facilities in an urban area.
文摘Measuring and improving home care clinic resource volume and geographic allocation are an important public health issue regarding prolonging home care system usage among disabled elderly people. This study examined clinic volume and accessibility’s association with hospitalization duration among disabled elderly people in 13 municipalities in Japan;additionally, this study compared clinic volume and accessibility’s ability to explain hospitalization duration in this population. Home care clinics’ service volume and geographic accessibility were calculated for 17 municipalities using public data and geographic information systems. We analyzed medical claim data from October 2012;the sample included 22,662 persons who were aged ≥75 years, certified as disabled in daily living, and lived in 13 municipalities regarding which data could be obtained for all examined municipality characteristics. Multilevel logistic models with random intercepts were constructed for municipalities and individual- and municipality-level independent variables in order to examine home care clinic volume and accessibility’s correlation with hospitalization duration. Clinic volume ranged from 0 to 9.53 per 10,000 elderly people;clinic accessibility ranged from 0% to 83%. Clinic volume and accessibility were both significantly negatively correlated with hospitalization duration of ≥10 days (odds ratios, 0.944 and 0.713;confidence intervals, 0.914 - 0.974 and 0.553 - 0.921, respectively). Clinics were not homogeneously geographically distributed;clinic accessibility explained hospitalization duration better than clinic volume. Clinic accessibility may more accurately indicate care clinic allocation appropriateness than clinic volume.

文摘This work focuses on maximizing the minimum user’s security energy efficiency(SEE)in an unmanned aerial vehicle-mounted reconfigurable intelligent surface(UAV-RIS)enhanced short-packet communication(SPC)system.The base station(BS)provides short packet services to ground users using the non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA)protocol through UAV-RIS,while preventing eavesdropper attacks.To optimize SEE,a joint optimization is performed concerning power allocation,UAV position,decoding order,and RIS phase shifts.An iterative algorithm based on block coordinate descent is proposed for mixed-integer non-convex SEE optimization problem.The original problem is decomposed into three sub-problems,solved alternately using successive convex approximation(SCA),quadratic transformation,penalty function,and semi-definite programming(SDP).Simulation results demonstrate the performance of the UAV-RIS-enhanced short-packet system under different parameters and verify the algorithm’s convergence.Compared to benchmark schemes such as orthogonal multiple access,long packet communication,and sum SEE,the proposed UAV-RIS-enhanced short-packet scheme achieves the higher minimum user’s SEE.

文摘Renewable Energy Systems(RES)provide a sustainable solution to climate warming and environmental pollution by enhancing stability and reliability through status acquisition and analysis on cloud platforms and intelligent processing on edge servers(ES).However,securely distributing encrypted data stored in the cloud to terminals that meet decryption requirements has become a prominent research topic.Additionally,managing attributes,including addition,deletion,and modification,is a crucial issue in the access control scheme for RES.To address these security concerns,a trust-based ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption(CP-ABE)device access control scheme is proposed for RES(TB-CP-ABE).This scheme effectivelymanages the distribution and control of encrypted data on the cloud through robust attribute key management.By introducing trust management mechanisms and outsourced decryption technology,the ES system can effectively assess and manage the trust worthiness of terminal devices,ensuring that only trusted devices can participate in data exchange and access sensitive information.Besides,the ES system dynamically evaluates trust scores to set decryption trust thresholds,thereby regulating device data access permissions and enhancing the system’s security.To validate the security of the proposed TB-CP-ABE against chosen plaintext attacks,a comprehensive formal security analysis is conducted using the widely accepted random oraclemodel under the decisional q-Bilinear Diffie-Hellman Exponent(q-BDHE)assumption.Finally,comparative analysis with other schemes demonstrates that the TB-CP-ABE scheme cuts energy/communication costs by 43%,and scaleswell with rising terminals,maintaining average latency below 50ms,ensuring real-time service feasibility.The proposed scheme not only provides newinsights for the secure management of RES but also lays a foundation for future secure energy solutions.

文摘Objective:The scarcity of healthcare resources and inadequate access to medical services in rural and remote areas are pervasive challenges many countries face,particularly in the developing world.Telemedicine,with its capacity to overcome geographical barriers and provide patients with real‐time medical services,has shown considerable potential in addressing these issues,attracting wide-spread attention.Compact medical communities and family doctor systems play important roles in improving healthcare accessibility.However,despite the critical nature of patients'perceptions of healthcare accessibility,research in this domain is sparse.This study aimed to explore the impact of telemedicine on rural residents'perceived healthcare accessibility in China,analyze the mechanisms underpinning this relationship,and elucidate the roles of compact medical communities and the family doctor system.Methods:Survey data from 3311 rural residents were analyzed using a probit model,instrumental variables,and subgroup regression analyses to ascertain causal effects,perform heterogeneity analysis,examine mechanisms,and ascertain the robustness of the findings.Results:Telemedicine significantly enhanced rural residents'perceived healthcare accessibility,with particularly notable benefits for those in sparsely populated areas,regions with high‐speed internet access,within the purview of compact healthcare consortiums,and those with access to family doctor services.Furthermore,telemedicine improved rural residents'perceived healthcare accessibility by encouraging the use of primary care services.Conclusion:Telemedicine in China has played a significant role in improving the perceived healthcare accessibility among rural residents and aiding in the reduction of disparities in accessibility across different demographic groups.This is consistent with the broader objective of achieving universal health coverage.However,the efficacy of telemedicine in enhancing healthcare accessibility is contingent upon certain preconditions.Policymakers must confront local infrastructure challenges,particularly regarding internet connectivity,when expanding telemedicine services to ensure their effective operation.The synergistic interaction observed between telemedicine,the family doctor system,and compact medical communities highlights the importance of integrating telemedicine into existing healthcare systems.Such integration could enhance collaboration with current healthcare frameworks,ensuring the provision of safe,accessible,and affordable healthcare services,and promoting the health and well‐being of local populations.
文摘Multicriteria Decision Analysis(MCDA)has been integrated with GIS modelling by many studies to aid the decision-making process.This integration enhances modelling by incorporating spatial relationships and using advanced techniques,including the combination of Frequency Ratio(FR)and Analytical Hierarchical Process(AHP),also known as FR-AHP.Although methods like Two-Steps Floating Catchment Area(2SFCA),AHP,and FR are widely applied in measuring accessibility,they have limitations in terms of threshold sensitivity and subjectivity.Hence,this study used FR-AHP,which combines the data-driven strength of FR and the structured decision-making technique of AHP to provide a more reliable evaluation of spatial accessibility.This study aims to integrate FR-AHP with GIS to derive campus spatial accessibility in Shah Alam.Campus spatial accessibility can be measured by using location and distance between origin and destination,topological accessibility for nodes and paths,and contiguous accessibility for surfaces.Understanding these concepts is crucial for determining the appropriate technique.This study utilizedMCDA,GIS-basedFR,andAHPmethods tomodel spatial accessibility in activemobility andpublic transport areas,calculating estimation index values and analyzing comparisons between physical factors.A sample survey was conducted among the university’s students to gather information on their origin and destination,as well as the type of transportation used by students.The data were used in calculating the weightage of each physical factor using the FR-AHP method.Then,the Campus Spatial Accessibility Index(CSAI)was determined by using GIS IndexModelling.By using the model,the index was classified into five(5)classes from Very Low to Very High.The results show that Section 2 has the highest accessibility,while the area with the lowest accessibility index is Jalan Zamrud and Jalan Permata,located in Section 7.To analyze the efficiency of FR-AHP,the CSAI was also derived using theweightage derived fromFR only.The comparisons revealed that the results derived using FR-AHP are closer to reality than those derived using FR only,as it incorporates human preferences in accessibility.Hence,the findings suggest that the integration of FR-AHP could provide better CSAI than FR only.
