“…It is crucial to note that the reference to rural spaces or geographical locations in the current study are quite disparate from the usual connotations of 'rural' in the international literature from developed countries (King and Church 2013;Matthews et al 2000;Nairn et al 2003;Sancar and Severcan 2010). While the notion of 'rural spaces' infer areas in the countryside with low population density, there is no consensus on the term, evincing its differentiated nature across countries (Braga et al 2016). The rural area in the current study is synonymous with individuals living in poverty, and is largely characterised by impoverishment and low SES, high levels of crime and violence, and a lack of resources and basic services, which would be classified by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) as Predominantly rural close to a city (OECD 2011).…”

Based on the evidence provided in the literature, it is manifest that increased time spent in nature increases various aspects of children's well-being. Using discourse analysis on focus group interviews with 28 children between the ages of 12 and 14 years old from three socioeconomically diverse communities in the Western Cape of South Africa, the study aimed to explore how children construct and assign meaning to natural spaces. More specifically the study explored how children use specific discursive resources and repertoires to construct and assign meaning to their engagement with natural spaces, and the extent to which this influences their subjective well-being. Several pertinent discourses emerged from the participants' accounts within four themes of: Safety and natural spaces, Appreciation for natural spaces, Degradation of Nature: Thinking environmentally, acting proenvironmentally, and Natural spaces and children' s subjective well-being. The study highlights the critical role that children's engagement in natural spaces has on their subjective well-being, and how these benefits can be harnessed to better children's overall quality of life.

Clinical Symptoms, Imaging Features and Cyst Distribution in the Cerebrospinal Fluid Compartments in Patients with Extraparenchymal Neurocysticercosis

et al. 2016

Extraparenchymal neurocysticercosis has an aggressive course because cysts in the cerebrospinal fluid compartments induce acute inflammatory reactions. The relationships between symptoms, imaging findings, lesion type and location remain poorly understood. In this retrospective clinical records-based study, we describe the clinical symptoms, magnetic resonance imaging features, and cyst distribution in the CSF compartments of 36 patients with extraparenchymal neurocysticercosis. Patients were recruited between 1995 and 2010 and median follow up was 38 months. During all the follow up time we found that 75% (27/36) of the patients had symptoms related to raised intracranial pressure sometime, 72.2% (26/36) cysticercotic meningitis, 61.1% (22/36) seizures, and 50.0% (18/36) headaches unrelated to intracranial pressure. Regarding lesion types, 77.8% (28/36) of patients presented with grape-like cysts, 22.2% (8/36) giant cysts, and 61.1% (22/36) contrast-enhancing lesions. Hydrocephalus occurred in 72.2% (26/36) of patients during the follow-up period. All patients had cysts in the subarachnoid space and 41.7% (15/36) had at least one cyst in some ventricle. Cysts were predominantly located in the posterior fossa (31 patients) and supratentorial basal cisterns (19 patients). The fourth ventricle was the main compromised ventricle (10 patients). Spinal cysts were more frequent than previously reported (11.1%, 4/36). Our findings are useful for both diagnosis and treatment selection in patients with neurocysticercosis.

“…These studies have emphasized the relationship between early complex rural settlements and specific environments (GREEN & PETRIE, 2018), often focusing on a fixed historical period, with an emphasis on the protection of relics. With the development of computer and remote sensing technologies, spatial analysis technology based on geographic information systems (GIS) and mathematical modelling have been used to quantitatively analyze the spatial patterns of TVs (SEVENANT & ANTROP, 2007;BRAGA et al, 2016;YANG et al, 2018;FANTA et al, 2020). These studies often adopt the methods of the case study and lack ofquantitative analysis of large samples of TVs.…”

Traditional Villages (TVs) are typical and representative of the agricultural civilization in millions of Chinese villages. The distribution of TVs shows spatial heterogeneity, based on the complexity and diversity of several influencing factors. In this study, 6,819 Chinese TVs were identified and the influencing factors that affect their distribution were screened in terms of three indicator groups: climatic, geographic, and humanity-related factors. Additionally, the K-means clustering algorithm clustered the TVs into different distribution regions. The quantitative relationships between the dominant influencing factors of different distribution regions were revealed to ensure a lucid understanding of the regional distribution of TVs. The results indicated that 1) climatic factors have the greatest impact on the spatial distribution of TVs, followed by geographic factors, particularly the elevation, and then by human factors, of which ethnic distribution played a relatively important role. 2) Twenty-one TV clustering distributions were obtained, which were classified into eight regions of TV distribution with different dominant influencing factors. Management and protective strategies were formulated based on the attribute analysis of influencing factors in each region. The obtained results delineated homogeneous TV distribution regions via the clustering method to achieve an accurate statistical analysis of the influencing factors. This study proposes a new perspective and reference for managing and protecting the diversity, continuity, and integrity of TVs across administrative regions.
