This effect does not vary by gender, but was more pronounced in residents older than 40 years.

These results revealed the potential negative consequences in people’s mental health due to house price increase, necessitate appropriate policy responses.

Several studies have reported poor prognosis when treatment is delayed. We aimed to describe the factors associated with delays in time to treatment initiation (TTI) in Colombian women with CC. Cross-sectional analysis including newly diagnosed cases of CC during 2018 and reported to the National Administrative Cancer Registry. TTI was defined as days from diagnosis to the first treatment (chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery). Linear and multinomial logistic regression models were estimated to analyze the association of interest. 1,249 new cases of CC were analyzed (26.98% in-situ and 40.11% locally advanced). The median age was 46 years (IQR 36-58). Median TTI was 71 days (IQR 42-105), varying from 70 days (IQR 43-106) among the surgery group to 76 days (IQR 41-118) in women under chemotherapy. Only 12.41% were treated within 30 days from diagnosis. TTI was significantly longer in women with state insurance (β = 18.95 days, 95% CI 11.77-26.13) compared with those insured by the third payer. Women from the Pacific and Eastern regions also had a significantly longer TTI than those living in the capital of Colombia. Age, health insurance, region of residence, and stage at diagnosis were associated with TTI longer than 45 days in the multinomial model. We concluded that demographic variables (age, region of residence, and health insurance) which are proxies of social disparities and poor access to quality health care services, were associated with delays in TTI.Although a significant number of the human population in developing countries live in urban communities, majority of the population lives in rural areas. NVP-ADW742 mw Developing countries, especially in their rural areas, suffer from a lack of healthcare facilities, poverty and high rate of illiteracy. Motivated by the huge socio-economic gap between the developed and the developing worlds, there have been several studies into the COVID-19 pandemic management in developing countries. However, none of these research works emphasised the health cultural beliefs of any developing economy as a basis for their recommendations. Specifically, this paper discusses the pandemic situation in Nigeria with emphasis on the prevalent health cultural beliefs of the citizens of the country, especially those living in rural communities. This is important because each local community defines a socio-ecological cluster of people who are more tightly knitted together in terms of language, relationship, culture, religion, social amenities, business, leadership and so on. As such, there is a need to prepare the socio-ecological units to be more resistant to the spread of the virus; a weaker social-ecological unit will entail a higher risk of community transmissions. With respect to the peculiarity of each local community, this paper recommends strategies for controlling and managing the pandemic in Nigeria using community informatics or grass-root computing. We argue that community informatics can empower and support policy makers and governments of developing countries such as Nigeria in combating and effectively managing a pandemic.The data presented in this article describe plant traits (ecological strategy, plant succession, biological form, plant distribution and conservation status), cover-abundance scores of individualized communities after the application of Multivariate Statistical Package (MVSP) software and coverage percentage of species which compose the communities in areas sampled from Nyungwe forest. Taxonomic diversity indices (Shannon, Evenness and Richness) were also calculated and included in the dataset. The observed data can support the evaluation of Pteridium invasion in comparable forest types.A broad variability characterizes the lifetime of SiC-based bundles under static fatigue conditions at intermediate temperature and ambient air, challenging the accuracy of its prediction. The same is true, in a lower extend, with tensile properties, in apparent discrepancy with the bundle theory based on weakest link theory. The data presented here focus on lifetime scattering, evaluated on different fiber types (6 in total, Nicalon® or Tyranno®). It is hosted at http//dx.doi.org/10.17632/96xg3wmppf.1 and related to the research article “Static fatigue of SiC-based multifilament tows at intermediate temperature the time to failure variability” (Mazerat et al., 2020) [1]. The insufficiency of classically invoked external and discrete bias (fiber sticking phenomenon for instance) was compared to a devoted Monte Carlo algorithm, attributing to each filament a strength (random) and a stress (homogeneous). Introduction of a stress inconsistency from tow to tow, experimentally observed through section variability, was revealed to overpass such biasing approach. This article can be referred to for the interpretation or prediction of CMC lifetime to guaranty long term performances over the broad offered application field.The dataset refers to the research article “Precipitation processes and structural evolutions of various GPB zones and two types of S phases in a cold-rolled Al-Mg-Cu alloy” [1]. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and density functional theory (DFT) were used to investigate precipitates in an Al-Cu-Mg alloy aged at 443 K for various times. High-angle annular dark-field scanning TEM (HAADF-STEM) images in Al orientations were analyzed. Characteristic contrast and symmetries of columns [2] yielded atoms and positions, used to build precipitate models which could be refined and compared with solid solution reference energies. A calculation cell is an Al supercell compatible with symmetry and morphology of a precipitate, which is fully or partly surrounded by Al, allowing periodicity continuation via neighbor cells. The given crystallographic data include two S-phase variants and Guinier-Preston-Bagaryatsky (GPB) zones, of which the “GPBX” is new.
