Impact of a national primary care pay-for-performance scheme on ambulatory care sensitive hospital admissions: a small-area analysis in England by Tim Doran, Christos Grigoroglou, Luke Munford, Evangelos Kontopantelis, Navneet Kapur, Darren Ashcroft, Roger Webb

“…Objective We aimed to spatially describe hospital admissions for ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSC) in England at small-area geographical level and assess whether recorded practice performance under one of the world’s largest primary care pay-for-performance schemes led to reductions in these potentially avoidable hospitalisations for chronic conditions incentivised in the scheme.Setting We obtained numbers of ACSC hospital admissions from the Hospital Episode Statistics database and information on recorded practice performance from the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) administrative dataset for 2015/2016. …”

Anthropogenic and natural influence on vegetation ecosystems from 1982 to 2023 by Teligeer Bao, Huaqiang Li, Yonghong Hao, Matthew Tom Harrison, Ke Liu, Gulnazar Ali

“…Here, we used 12 machine learning algorithms to perform pixel correction on 42 years of moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and GIMMS NDVI data. The models exhibited high accuracy (93%–97%), yielding a robust ensemble R ^2 of 0.88 at the spatial scale. …”

A social-ecological-technological vulnerability approach for assessing urban hydrological risks by S. Khromova, G. Villalba Méndez, M.J. Eckelman, P. Herreros-Cantis, J. Langemeyer

“…Hydrology-informed urban risk index was developed, quantifying seventeen indicators from historical and modeled data on sewer overflow and flood events. The spatially explicit SETS-based approach identifies high-risk communities and hotspots where multiple vulnerabilities intersect and can serve as a valuable tool for guiding policy and decision-making to support more resilient urban futures. …”

Analysis on the Spatiotemporal Characteristics of the Postearthquake Reconstruction Efficiency of the Extremely Earthquake-Stricken Areas by the Wenchuan Earthquake Based on the DE... by Pin Lv, Bin Liu, Mingkang Yuan, Suyue Han, Di Zhang, Lv Zhang

“…In 2011, the reconstruction efficiency basically returned the areas to preearthquake levels, and there was a small fluctuation in efficiency due to the effects of earthquake-induced hazards and the reduction of external forces. Spatially, the reconstruction efficiencies of the 10 extremely stricken areas do not show a “convergence effect,” and the reconstruction efficiencies were closely related to the characteristics of the resources in the extremely stricken areas. …”
