MAED Data Note: Selected socio-economic and technical demand modelling data for Sierra Leone.
<p>This MAED Data Note contains historic annual data on electricity demand (2018 to 2023) segregated by sector (industry, services, households). Additionally, historic social and economic data on population (total, growth, urban-rural split, household size), GDP (total, sectoral split, growth) and electrification are included within this data note. This historic data can be used to create base year energy intensitities used as a foundation for energy demand modelling using the Model for the Analysis of Energy Demand (MAED) simulation software. Two illustrative scenarios are developed alongside a baseline demand projection from 2018 to 2050. </p> <p>This work was supported by the Climate Compatible Growth Programme (#CCG) of the UK's Foreign Development and Commonwealth Office (FCDO).

Complementary and Alternative Medicine Use and its Impact on Quality of Life among Cancer Patients in Freetown, Sierra Leone: Considerations for a Resource-Limited Setting
<p> </p> <p><span>Cancer patients are increasingly resorting to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) to alleviate the effects of the disease and enhance their quality of life (QoL). However, to our knowledge, no study has investigated CAM use and its impact on QoL in patients with cancer in Sierra Leone. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the prevalence of and associated factors with CAM use, and compare the quality of life between CAM users and non-users.</span></p> <p><span>This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at three health facilities in Freetown viz Connaught Hospital Ola During Children's Hospital, and the Water and Stone Clinic. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews, using an adapted questionnaire. The QoL was assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer tool. Descriptive analysis was employed, and binary logistic regression tests were used to explore the associated factors of CAM use, with statistical significance set at p<0.05.</span></p> <p><span>In total, 204 participants completed the study. The prevalence of CAM use was 48.5%. Among the various CAMs examined in this study, herbal medicines (48.8%) followed by special foods (19.4%) were the most commonly used forms of CAM. The primary reason for CAM use was the management of cancer complications (43.4%). Over half of the CAM users did not disclose their CAM use to their doctors (53.5%). There was a statistically significant association between CAM use and tertiary education (AOR=2.68, 95%CI=1.31-5.49, p=0.007) and chemotherapy treatment (AOR=1.91, 95%CI= 1.06-3.46, p=0.032). There was no considerable impact of CAM on QoL, although financial difficulty was statistically significant among CAM users compared with non-CAM users.</span></p> <p><span>This study revealed that CAM use is prevalent among cancer patients, with herbal medicines being the most commonly used form, followed by special foods and prayers. <span> </span>Patients primarily obtain information about CAM from family, friends, and relatives, and most do not discuss CAM use with their doctors. Tertiary education and chemotherapy were found to be predictors of CAM use. Regarding the impact of CAM on QoL, only financial difficulty was statistically significant.</span></p>
Data for: When do contemporary wildfires restore forest structures in the Sierra Nevada?
<p>This dataset contains GeoTIFF raster layers derived from the analyses described in Chamberlain et al. (2024) ("When do contemporary wildfires restore overstore structures in Sierra Nevada forests"). Each layer represents classified predictions of the probability (using a 0.5 threshold) of restorative fire effects for the year 2020 under a mild (burning index = 53) and moderate (burning index = 71) fire weather scenario. The three layers include predicted probabilities for cover restoration, partial restoraiton, and full restoration. Cover restoration suggests that only canopy cover is likely to be restored in subsequent first-entry wildfires, partial restoration indicates that canopy cover and ladder fuel densities are likely to be restored, and full restoration indicates that canopy cover, ladder fuel density, and clump complexity are all likely to be restored. Please refer to the text in Chamberlain et al. (2024) for complete descriptions of each forest structure metric and how the restoration indices were defined. </p> <p>The codes in each raster layer are as follows:<br>NoData = outside study area<br>0 = restoration unlikely (probability < 0.5) under mild or moderate fire weather conditions<br>1 = restoration likely (probability > 0.5) under mild fire weather conditions<br>2 = restoration likely (probability > 0.5) under moderate fire weather conditions</p> <p>Terms of use: These data are solely for the purpose of general public information; the user should not rely upon the contents of this data for any specific purpose without making independent investigation. The authors assume no responsibility for any risk, loss, or liability that may result from the use of the data.
