In this study, we obtained monitoring data of O and its precursors (NO, VOCs, and CO), as well as meteorological data (temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and visibility), in 2019 to analyze the characteristics of O pollution and the influencing factors in urban and suburban areas. The results showed that the O episodes accounted for 25.8% of the whole observation period, mostly occurring from May to September. The concentration of NO in urban areas was higher than that in suburban areas, whereas the concentrations of O and VOCs were lower. The hourly rate of variation in each pollutant had obvious seasonal characteristics; for example, the time of O rise and precursor decline in autumn and winter was approximately 1 h later than that in summer, and the peak period of O generation and accumulation was shortened. The increase rate in O in urban areas was higher than that in suburban areas. Correlation analysis and partial correlation analysis were used to study the relationship between O and its influencing factors. The results showed that O was negatively correlated with precursors and relative humidity and positively correlated with visibility, temperature, and wind speed, and these factors interacted with each other. According to the multivariate linear regression analysis, the main controlling factors in urban areas were relative humidity, NO, visibility, and VOCs, whereas in suburban areas they were relative humidity, temperature, NO, and VOCs.

BMC Pregnancy Childbirth

Faculty of Health Sciences, Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Background: Indigenous Peoples comprise the youngest and fastest growing demographic in Canada, with many living in urban-suburban areas. Given higher fertility rates, younger overall ages and higher adolescent pregnancy rates, perinatal research is needed-to inform policymaking and programming throughout pregnancy and childhood. Yet such data remain scarce in British Columbia (BC), Canada.

Background: Urbanization is expanding in Iran, leading to the emergence of three distinct socio-geographical areas: urban, rural, and suburban areas. These different areas may exhibit significant variations in dietary patterns. This study investigates the association between people's place of residence and their consumption of different food groups.

Background: Despite extensive research on OHCA in urban centres worldwide, there is a significant gap in knowledge regarding these events in less urbanized regions, especially in Low-Middle-Income Countries (LMICs).
Aim: To determine the characteristics and outcomes of adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in rural and suburban districts of Sindh, Pakistan.
Methods: Data of OHCA patients (>18 years) was collected retrospectively from January 2020 to December 2022, from the medical records of district and tehsil hospitals of the province of Sindh Data analysis was performed using the Statistical Package Software for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Statistics 29.
The Biorepository and Integrative Genomics (BIG) Initiative in Tennessee has developed a pioneering resource to address gaps in genomic research by linking genomic, phenotypic, and environmental data from a diverse Mid-South population, including underrepresented groups. We analyzed 13,152 genomes from BIG and found significant genetic diversity, with 50% of participants inferred to have non-European or several types of admixed ancestry. Ancestry within the BIG cohort is stratified, with distinct geographic and demographic patterns, as African ancestry is more common in urban areas, while European ancestry is more common in suburban regions.

This study focused on the investigation of soil samples from the alluvial zone of the Sava River, located near the heating plant in New Belgrade, Serbia. Using gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC-FID), a broad range of alkanes, including linear -alkanes (C to C) and isoprenoids, was analyzed in all samples. The obtained datasets were effectively made simpler by applying multivariate statistical analysis.
