Modelling the impact of ecosystem fragmentation on ecosystem services in the degraded Ethiopian highlands by Tegegne Molla Sitotaw, Louise Willemen, Derege Tsegaye Meshesha, Martha Weldemichael, Andrew Nelson

“…This study addresses this gap by assessing how fragmentation metrics—ecosystem area, perimeter-area ratio, and patch proximity—impact four key ES (wetland grass biomass, microclimate heat stress regulation, crop pollination, and nature-based tourism) in the degraded Ethiopian highlands. Using spatial generalized additive models (GAMs), we combined fragmentation metrics with relevant biophysical variables to model ES patterns for 2020 and extrapolated back to 2000 with year-specific remote sensing-based predictors. …”

Grain size effect of landscape in Jiangxi Guanshan subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest by RAN Huan1, LAN Yong2, DAI Yufeng2, XIONG Yong2, WEN Renquan1, SONG Qingni1, YANG Qingpei1, LIU Jun1*

“…Determining an appropriate grain size is crucial in landscape pattern analysis and ecological research. In order to gain deeper insights into the spatial diversity and dynamic characteristics of landscape pattern, based on the survey data of the 12 hm2 large plot inJiangxi Guanshan National Nature Reserve in 2015 and 2020, the grain size effect of landscape indices in eight different landscape types within the range of 5-50 meters were analyzed; the variation coefficients were used to reveal the changing characteristics of different landscape pattern indices as the grain size increased, and the optimal grain size was selected based on the inflection points of changes in various landscape indices. …”

Spatiotemporal patterns and influencing factors of genotypic resistance testing utilization among people living with HIV: A 10-year retrospective analysis at a tertiary care hospit... by Defu Yuan, Fei Zhao, Shanshan Liu, Li Li, Hongxia Yan, Lifeng Liu, Tong Zhang, Christiane Moog, Bei Wang, Bin Su

“…Prior research indicated low genotypic resistance testing (GRT) for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) utilization in China due to partial cost coverage under national antiretroviral therapy policies, limited testing accessibility, and financial barriers. Temporal and spatial data on GRT trends were also scarce. We analyzed GRT patterns among 6,895 untreated individuals at a tertiary hospital using Joinpoint regression, multivariable logistic modeling, and spatial analysis (GeoDa/SatScan). …”
