Worldwide, nurse shortages constitute a problem, including in the Netherlands. Every region in the country has a shortage of all types of nurses. At the same time, there are large hidden reserves: persons who have been trained as a nurse but do not work in the healthcare sector. The size of the hidden reserve exceeds the shortage of nurses. Until now, the literature has not paid much attention to spatial aspects of the nursing shortage problem. In this paper, we analyze the size of the hidden reserves and how they are distributed over the country, across large and smaller cities, and across different nurse categories. We find that especially densely populated areas have relatively small shares of trained nurses as well as large hidden reserves relative to their population. These areas are also facing the largest nurse shortages. As nurse labor markets are local, policies that are more focused on local situations are necessary to activate these hidden reserves.

China has vast proven coal reserves, encompassing a wide variety of types. However, traditional coal classification methods have limitations, often leading to inaccurate classification and inefficient utilization of coal resources. To address this issue, this paper introduces the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) as a novel coal classification method, based on the near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) of coal.

Background: Identification of local Plasmodium vivax transmission foci and its hidden reservoirs are crucial to eliminating residual vivax malaria transmission. This study assessed whether reactive case detection (RCD) could better identify P. vivax cases and infection incidences in Arjo-Didessa, Southwestern Ethiopia.

Article Synopsis
- The growing human population is causing more interactions with wildlife, leading to increased conflicts, particularly with Asian elephants in the Western Ghats of India.
- The study analyzed six years of human-elephant conflict (HEC) data alongside ecological factors to identify causes and patterns of crop damage, property damage, and human casualties.
- Key findings indicate that HEC is influenced by habitat conditions such as grass biomass and human activities, suggesting that reducing anthropogenic pressures could alleviate conflicts.
