BACKGROUND Poverty is a major determinant of population health, but little is known about its role in modifying air pollution effects. OBJECTIVES We set out to examine whether people residing in socially deprived communities are at higher mortality risk from ambient air pollution. METHODS This study included 209 tertiary planning units (TPUs), the smallest units for town planning in the Spe...

Introduction The aim of this study was to understand the global incidence and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) oral disorders by age, gender, region, Sociodemographic Index (SDI) from 1990 2019. Material methods estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used assess trends in age-standardized DALY rates Results rate (EAPC = 0.01) increased slightly From 2...

OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that compared to healthy controls, long-term abstinent substance dependent individuals (SDI) will differ in their effective connectivity between large-scale brain networks and demonstrate increased directional information from executive control to interoception-, reward-, and habit-related networks. In addition, using graph theory to compare network efficiencies we pre...

This paper illustrates the IDEZar project, a project that mainly consists in the development of a local Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) in Zaragoza (Spain) in order to get an improved management of spatial data available in the City Council of Zaragoza and to provide several online services to its citizens. The authors detail in this paper the initial analysis performed (strictly necessary, d...

The pressure of opening access to public sector geospatial information traditionally managed within disparate spatial data infrastructures (SDI) is driven by a combination of factors. These factors include the adoption of open data programs and the need to integrate spatial data across sectors and levels of government for specific applications. Informed by the success of the Linked Open Data co...

Spatial scientific research has increasingly become multi disciplinary. The urge of different disciplines to share disciplinary knowledge and information has increased. However, not many Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) have succeeded in facilitating the needs of these multidisciplinary research communities. The article presented offers a methodological framework to develop a user centric SD...
