Data from: Knowledge, attitudes, and practices among Indonesian urban communities regarding HPV infection, cervical cancer, and HPV vaccination
<p><strong>Background</strong>: Few studies explored Indonesian understanding of cervical cancer (CC) and the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination. We aimed to investigate the association between knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) and socio-demographical influences <span>related to</span> HPV, CC, and vaccination among Indonesian urban citizens.</p> <p><strong>Methods</strong>: We conducted an online survey during March 2020-August 2021 using the Snowball sampling technique. The socio-demographic characteristic and KAP responses were collected via Google Forms from 400 respondents in Jakarta. The knowledge and attitudes were divided into HPV and CC (aspect 1) and HPV vaccination (aspect 2). Correlation between KAP scores was performed using Spearman's test, and multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine KAP predictors.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong>: Indonesian urban citizens in Jakarta were found to have poor knowledge in individual aspects of the inquiry but moderate knowledge overall, good attitude in inquiry both in each aspect and overall, and unsatisfying practices. Overall, in the general population, men, and women respectively: 50.8%, 32.4%, and 53.6% had good knowledge; 82.0%, 75.2%, and 84.4% expressed positive attitude; and 30.3%, 15.2%, and 35.6% applied favorable practice regarding questions inquired. Knowledge was weakly correlated towards attitude (ρ=0.385) but moderately correlated with practice (ρ=0.485); attitude was moderately correlated with practice (ρ=0.577), all results: p<0.001. Significant odds ratio (OR) for predictors to good knowledge were female sex (OR=2.99), higher education (OR=2.91), and higher mother's education (OR=2.15). Factors related to positive attitudes were higher mother's education (OR=4.13), younger age (OR=1.86), and better results in the knowledge inquiries (OR=2.96). Factors that suggested better practices were female sex (OR=2.33), being employed (OR=1.68), excellent knowledge scores (OR=4.56), and positive attitudes expressions (OR=8.05). Having done one vaccination dose and intention to receive vaccines were significantly influenced by good KAP.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions</strong>: KAP had inter-association to successful CC and HPV prevention programs, and socio-demographical characteristics are critical to influencing better KAP.</p>
The behavioral responses of the Chiguanco thrush to urbanization in a Neotropical city comes from preadapted behavioral traits
<p>Several animal species can survive within cities by changing their behavior; such changes could be the result of evolutionary adaptation, epigenetic effects, or come from preadapted traits through phenotypic plasticity or non-random dispersal. Exploring whether behavioral preadapted traits are present in non-urbanized populations could improve our understanding of the processes that allow animals to cope with urbanization. We compared the boldness, neophobia, and solving-test skills of adult individuals of the Chiguanco Thrush (Turdus chiguanco) between urban and extra-urban habitats in La Paz (Bolivia), a high-altitude Neotropical city. The urban Chiguanco Thrushes were bolder, less neophobic, and performed better in problem-solving tests. Extra-urban individuals varied significantly more among them in boldness and neophobia, and although a smaller proportion of individuals were able to solve the simplest problem-solving test, they did so in the same way as the urban ones. This evidence suggests that the behavioral responses of the Chiguanco Thrush to urbanization in La Paz come from preadapted traits.</p>
Measurement report: The importance of biomass burning in light extinction and direct radiative effect of urban aerosol during the COVID-19 lockdown in Xi'an, China
<p>To explore the impacts of anthropogenic emissions on aerosol optical properties and direct radiative effect (DRE), a series of real-time measurements was conducted in an urban area of China before and during the lockdown of Coronavirus Disease 2019. The generalized addictive model analysis shows that the light extinction coefficient (<em>b</em><sub>ext</sub>) decreased largely during the lockdown due to the sharp reductions in anthropogenic emissions. Organic aerosol was the largest contributor to <em>b</em><sub>ext</sub> based on the ridge regression analysis. A hybrid environmental receptor model combining with chemical and optical variables shows that <em>b</em><sub>ext</sub> from biomass burning increased in the lockdown due to the undiminished needs of residential cooking and heating in winter. Biomass burning contributed the largest positive effect to aerosol DRE in the atmosphere during the lockdown, highlighting the importance of controlling biomass burning for mitigating climate change in China in the future.</p>
Data from: Balanced spatial distribution of green areas creates healthier urban landscapes
<div> <span>The benefits of green infrastructure on human well-being in urban areas are already well established, with strong evidence of the positive effects of the amount and proximity to green areas. However, the understanding of how the spatial distribution and type of green areas affect health is still an open question. <br>Here, we explore how different spatial configurations of green and built-up areas, through a land sharing and sparing framework, and how different types of green areas affect cardiovascular and respiratory hospitalizations in São Paulo city, Brazil. <br>Sharing/sparing indicators were selected as the main explanatory factors in the control of all groups of diseases. Land sharing appeared as a favourable spatial condition to prevent cardiovascular hospitalization, while land sparing and arboreal vegetation were relevant to reduce hospitalization by lower respiratory diseases. <br>For upper respiratory diseases, forests seem to provide a disservice, once they were associated with increased rates of hospitalization by respiratory allergies causes.<br>Considering that hospitalization rates and severity of cardiovascular diseases are substantially higher than those of upper respiratory ones, dense vegetation tends to provide more services than disservices. The land sharing configuration, which is characterized by green areas spread throughout the urban network (in streets, gardens, small squares, or parks), should lead to higher exposure and use of the benefits of green areas, which may then explain the greater prevention of cardiovascular diseases. <br>These novel results indicate that a more balanced distribution of green areas across built-up areas creates healthier urban spaces, and thus can be used as an urban planning strategy to leverage the health benefits provided by green infrastructure. <br>Policy implications: </span><span><span>Aiming to reduce hospitalizations by cardiovascular and pulmonary causes, urban planning should promote the spreading of green areas across the cities, in order to increase daily contact with natural attributes, giving preference to distribution over total quantity of green in urban landscape.</span></span> </div>
Cultivating scientific literacy and a sense of place through course-based urban ecology research
<p>Undergraduate research experiences have been shown to increase engagement, improve learning outcomes, and enhance career development for students in ecology. However, these opportunities may not be accessible to all students, and incorporating inquiry-based research directly into undergraduate curricula may help overcome barriers to participation and improve representation and inclusion in the discipline. The shift to online instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic has imposed even greater challenges for providing students with authentic research experiences, but the pandemic may also provide a unique opportunity for creative projects conducted remotely. In this paper, I describe a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) designed for an upper-level ecology course at California State University, Dominguez Hills during remote learning. The primary focus of student-led research activities was to explore the potential impacts of the depopulation of campus during the pandemic on urban coyotes (<em>Canis latrans</em>), of which there were increased sightings reported during this time. Students conducted two research studies, including an evaluation of urban wildlife activity, behavior, and diversity using camera traps installed throughout campus and an analysis of coyote diet using data from scat dissections. Students used the data they generated and information from literature reviews, class discussions, and meetings with experts to develop a coyote monitoring and management plan for our campus and create posters to educate the public. Using campus as a living laboratory, I aimed to engage students in meaningful research while cultivating a sense of place, despite being online. Students' research outcomes and responses to pre- and post-course surveys highlight the benefits of projects that are anchored in place-based education and emphasize the importance of ecological research for solving real-word problems. CUREs focused on local urban ecosystems may be a powerful way for instructors to activate ecological knowledge and capitalize on the cultural strengths of students at urban universities.</p>

The Evaluation and Construction of the Capacities of Urban Innovation Chains Based on Efficiency Improvement
<p>This paper studies urban innovation activities from the perspective of improving the efficiency of innovation chains and explores the operation patterns of urban innovation chains. The connotation of the urban innovation chain is analyzed according to the process of the innovation chain and the characteristics of urban innovation activities. The urban innovation chain can be divided into three stages (original innovation, technological innovation, and innovation transformation) and establishes an indicator system for evaluating the three capacities of the urban innovation chain using the development level of strategic emerging industries as an indicator to measure the efficiency of the urban innovation chain and analysing the relationship between these three constructed capacities in Chinese national innovative cities. Published data on China’s national innovative cities are used to measure the capacity of the urban innovation chain. The development of strategic emerging industries measures cities’ innovation performance, and an inductive approach is applied to analyze the relationship between the capacity construction of the urban innovation chain and innovation performance in innovative cities. This study found that the capacity of the urban innovation chain positively affected urban innovation performance and that the balanced development of the three capacities of the urban innovation chain positively affected urban innovation performance; when urban innovation performance was at its highest, the contribution of original innovation capacity to innovation performance was significantly greater than that of the other two capacities; an inverted U curve illustrated the relationship between the improvement of urban innovation performance and the balance of the three capacities of the urban innovation chain. The research conclusions of this paper enrich the relevant theories of innovation chain, provide reference for the construction of the UIC, and promote the development of strategic emerging industries.</p>

Data on bird abundance in urban woodlands in 32 Swedish cities
<p>The expansion of urban areas is increasingly contributing to biodiversity declines. Several studies have analyzed the effect of increasing urbanization on bird diversity, but few have differentiated effects of urban landscapes (matrix) from changes in focal habitat quality at multiple spatial scales. In this study we analyzed the effect of urbanization on bird communities in individual (local scale) and across multiple (regional scale) cities while controlling for the quality of sampled natural habitats. We conducted bird point counts and habitat quality mapping of trees, dead wood and shrubs in 459 forest remnants along an urbanization gradient in 32 cities in Sweden. We then analyzed how the degree of urbanization affected species richness of woodland-breeding bird and red-listed bird species at a regional and local scale. We also analyzed how urbanization affected beta-diversity and dissimilarity between communities at the different spatial scales, and if dissimilarities in species communities along the urbanization gradient were driven by species nestedness or turnover. We found that urbanization decreased species richness, and the number of red-listed species, at both the regional and local scale. Dissimilarities in woodland-breeding bird communities among urban, semi-urban and peri-urban areas at the local scale were particularly due to turnover, and at the regional scale to nestedness. Since there was no difference in habitat quality among woodlands across the urbanization gradient, we conclude that landscape urbanization systematically causes poorer and more homogeneous bird communities. However, despite that natural habitats in cities contribute less to the regional diversity, they are critical to maintain the local bird communities of individual cities and their surroundings.</p>
