A Multi‐Objective Periodic Vehicle Routing Model for Sustainable Healthcare Waste Collection

open access: yesThe International Journal of Health Planning and Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The collection of infectious waste from healthcare facilities (HCF) constitutes a recurring operational challenge. Indeed, despite the inherent health risks posed by the storage and the transportation of infectious materials, most of the existing waste collection systems tends to prioritise cost optimization and to underaddress the safety ...

Deniers and Compliers: Unpacking the Heterogeneous Effectiveness of U.S. Stay‐at‐Home Mandates During the COVID‐19 Pandemic

open access: yesJournal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While existing work shows COVID‐19 stay‐at‐home (SAH) policies decreased mobility on average, we lack evidence regarding heterogeneity in policy effectiveness across US counties. To uncover potential heterogeneity, we implement a novel two‐stage approach.

Implications of attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder diagnostic timing on mental health service utilisation in young adult females: A population‐based record linkage cohort study

open access: yesJCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sex differences in the frequency and timing of attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnosis exist. While there are multiple known individual and wider consequences for young females with delayed or undiagnosed ADHD, little is known about mental health service utilisation (HSU) impacts.

Can't outrun recurrence: Long‐term outcomes of treating American black bear sarcoptic mange

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Abstract The growing incidence of sarcoptic mange in American black bears (Ursus americanus) has become a concern for wildlife managers in the eastern United States. Inconsistency in the use of single and multi‐dose treatment approaches makes it difficult to evaluate their effects on post‐release outcomes of mange‐rehabilitated bears, which remain ...

Habitat characteristics along spring migration routes of elk, mule deer, and pronghorn in the southern San Juan Mountains

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We evaluated habitat characteristics of spring migration routes and stopover sites for adult female elk (Cervus canadensis), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), and pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) in the San Juan Mountains (2021–2022) and found species‐specific differences in vegetation structure, terrain, and proximity to land cover types relative to ...

Coal Mining as a Driver of Land Use and Land Cover Change and Degradation: A Case in Moatize City, Mozambique

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coal remains a major global energy source despite ongoing environmental controversies, particularly, regarding climate change and landscape transformation. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use and land cover (LULC) in the Moatize Coal Basin (MCB), Mozambique, between 1990 and 2024, with a specific focus on land ...
