Endemic Burkitt's lymphoma (eBL), the most common childhood cancer in sub-Saharan Africa, occurs at a high incidence in western Kenya, a region that also experiences holoendemic malaria. Holoendemic malaria has been identified as a co-factor in the etiology of this cancer. We hypothesized that eBL may cluster spatially within this region. Medical records for all eBL cases diagnosed from 1999 th...

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age with a prevalence estimated at 4–8% (Azziz et al., 2004; Moran & Teede, 2009). It is associated with a range of reproductive, obstetric, metabolic and psychological features. Reproductive and obstetric manifestations include hyperandrogenism, menstrual dysfunction, infertility and pregnancy complication...

Seed production that varies greatly from year to year, known as "masting" or "mast-fruiting" behavior, is a population-level phenomenon known to exhibit geographic synchrony extending, at least in some cases, hundreds of kilometers. The two main nonexclusive hypotheses for the driver of such geographically extensive synchrony are (1) environmental factors (the Moran effect), and (2) the mutual ...

Under the influence of change in overall economic environment, problem measuring performance a company and its financial health is also changing. At present, every agricultural exposed to number internal as well external risks, failure which can lead potential bankruptcy. It known fact that risks agriculture are significantly greater than those other sectors national economy. Proper diagnosis c...

Unemployment is a serious challenge faced by developing countries such as Indonesia. These challenges involve complex factors interacting with each other and can have negative impact on social economic stability. This study focused East Java Province case in point, the aim of analyzing geographical distribution open unemployment (TPT) relationship between regions that context. Using spatial ana...

We demonstrate a vast expansion of the theory of evolutionary stability to finite populations with mutation, connecting the theory of the stationary distribution of the Moran process with the Lyapunov theory of evolutionary stability. We define the notion of stationary stability for the Moran process with mutation and generalizations, as well as a generalized notion of evolutionary stability th...

Energy Cooperatives (ECoops), the most prominent example for Communities, are attributed great importance energy transition both through engagement of end-consumers and increase local renewable sources. We conducted an exploratory (spatial) data analysis to study which indicators European Social Progress Index Quality Life co-occure with presence ECoops. Results show that these indexes their su...
