Is economic inequality in maternal and child healthcare decreasing in India? Trends between 2005–2006, 2015–2016 and 2019–2021 by Niranjan Saggurti, Rajib Acharya, Abhishek Kumar, Rimjhim Bajpai

“…Bivariate analyses, ratio of richest to poorest, slope index of inequality (SII) and multivariate binary logistic regression analyses were used to examine the coverage as well as inequalities in the outcome indicators for India and its states and at district level.Primary outcomes The outcome variables analysed in the study were full antenatal care, institutional delivery, postnatal care of mothers within 48 hours of delivery, and full immunisation among children.Participants Women aged 15–49 who had given a birth in the last 5 years before the surveys were unit of analysis for the maternal healthcare indicators, and children aged 12–23 months were unit of the analysis for childhood immunisation.Results Over the last 15 years, coverage of the MCH indicators has increased in India and across socioeconomic segment of the population, and the absolute increase was higher among the worse-off segments than the better-off. This led to decline in the inequality in coverage of all the MCH indicators. …”

Threats and the active protection of birds in a riverbed: postulates for the strategy of the preservation of the middle Vistula River avifauna by Dariusz Bukaciński, Monika Bukacińska, Arkadiusz Buczyński

“…While in 1985-1994 the main risks for their breeding were found to be flood waters, predation by the hooded crow Corvus corone cornix and the Eurasian magpie Pica pica, as well as, locally, uncontrolled livestock grazing, in 2005-2014 they were primarily predation pressure from the American mink Neovision vision and the red fox Vulpes vulpes and massive outbreaks of black flies Simuliidae. These threats led to a reproductive outcome of nearly zero and increased the mortality of adults in their breeding areas. …”

Estimation of the Wenchuan Earthquake Rupture Sequence Utilizing Teleseismic Records and Coseismic Displacements by Deyu Yin, Qifang Liu, Jingke Wu

“…Then the southern part of Beichuan fault with high dip angle is triggered by the Xiaoyudong fault. (2) The coseismic displacements constraint can control the slip of subfaults near the surface and has little impact on the deeper subfaults. (3) The maximum slip on the fault is located near the Yingxiu and Beichuan area; moreover, the slip is mainly distributed at the shallow region rather than at the deep, which led to serious disasters. Meanwhile, majority of the aftershocks occur in the periphery of large slip.…”
