Much recent public health research has emphasised the health impacts for young people of 'active travel' modes, typically defined as walking and cycling. Less research has focused on public transport modes. Drawing on qualitative data, we examine the links between bus travel and wellbeing in London, where young people currently have free bus travel. Our findings indicate that bus travel can be ...

Choice can be an extraordinary benefit or an immense burden. In some contexts, people choose not to choose, or would do so if they were asked. In part because of limitations of "bandwidth," and in part because of awareness of their own lack of information and potential biases, people sometimes want other people to choose for them. For example, many people prefer not to make choices about their ...

Regular physical activity prevents several non-communicable chronic conditions and premature mortality. The benefits of can be achieved through active transport, which refers to non-motorised/active means (e.g. walking, cycling, rollerblading) move from one place another. Active transport integrated into daily routines such as commuting school work. We undertook an overview reviews examine the ...

About a third of the 36 million people living with HIV worldwide are co-infected with mycobacterium tuberculosis; 70% of those coinfected live in sub-Saharan Africa. In developing countries half of people with HIV infection will develop active tuberculosis; in some countries in sub-Saharan Africa more than 70% of patients with active tuberculosis are also HIV seropositive. Tuberculosis is the l...

We consider the polarization properties of optically thin synchrotron radiation emitted by relativistically moving electron–positron jets carrying large-scale helical magnetic fields. In our model, the jet is cylindrical, and the emitting plasma moves parallel to the jet axis with a characteristic Lorentz factor Γ. We draw attention to the strong influence that the bulk relativistic motion of t...

BACKGROUND Clinical data suggest that active limb movements may be associated with early lumbopelvic motion and increased symptoms in people with low back pain. METHODS Forty-one people without low back pain who did not play rotation-related sports and 50 people with low back pain who played rotation-related sports were examined. Angular measures of limb movement and lumbopelvic motion were c...

BACKGROUND In Afghanistan, improving TB case detection remains challenging. In 2014, only half of the estimated incident TB cases were notified, and notifications have decreased since peaking in 2007. Active case finding has been increasingly considered to improve TB case notifications. While access to health services has improved in Afghanistan, it remains poor and many people seeking health s...

ABSTRACT A vibrant and commercially active center is often the result of interesting, diverse building styles and or built-forms, pedestrian density along with variety of quality public places where people feel comfortable, spending time and shopping items for domestic and commercial functions in cities like Addis Ababa. The scale and design of buildings, pedestrian density, and other phy...
