During the last few decades, sustainable development (SD) has increasingly received attention globally. Therefore, international organizations and researchers sought to assess progress towards SD at different territorial levels. However, most of the studies were conducted at the city level and a very small number of studies has conducted at the urban periphery territory. This study aims to fill the current research gap through assessing the progress towards SD in the urban periphery of Greater Cairo (GC) in Egypt between 1996-2017. Eight composite indicators have been employed to assess the progress towards SD in this territory. These composite indicators were constructed based on the 14 individual indicators associated with sustainable development goals. The results showed meaningful progress achieved in the peripheral municipalities of GC, particularly in infrastructure and education indicators, while the economic and environmental indicators have deteriorated, particularly after the civic revolution of 2011. In addition, the study found a development gap between the urban periphery and the main urban agglomeration in GC, particularly in the infrastructure aspect. These results highlight the deficiencies that exist in the urban periphery of GC which help decision-makers to prepare appropriate policies to improve SD in such territory.

There is quite a lot of research on COVID-19, but research on the impact of COVID-19 prevention policies on business continuity and the welfare of street vendors has not been widely studied. This study examines the economic impact of COVID-19 prevention policies on business continuity and the welfare of street vendors. The regression value or the effect of the COVID-19 prevention policy on business continuity is 0.918. The coefficient of determination is 0.842, which means that the impact on business continuity is 84.2%. The regression value of the COVID-19 prevention policy on the welfare of street vendors is 0.934, with a coefficient of determination of 0.873. This means that the impact of the COVID-19 prevention policy on the welfare of street vendors is 87.3%. This study has limitations in one location in Semarang, and the research subjects are mostly culinary street vendors. The direction of future research is the impact of policies related to the pandemic or national economic crisis and the global crisis on the business continuity of street vendors and other informal economy business actors.

Background Preterm birth is one of a public health issue worldwide. It is a single most important cause of death in the first month of life and second leading cause of death in children aged less than five years. The cause of preterm birth is multifactorial and not well identified. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify determinants of preterm birth in public hospitals of Horro Guduru Wallaga zone, Western Ethiopia. Methods Hospital-based unmatched case-control study design was carried out in public hospitals of Horro Guduru Wallaga zone which involved 78 cases and 155 controls. Data were collected using pre-tested questionnaires from three hospitals. Data were entered in to EpiData and exported to SPSS version 25 for analysis. Frequency and proportion were computed to summarize the data. Multivariable binary logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association of predictor and response variable at P < 0.05. Adjusted odds ratio with 95% CI was used to show the strength of association between predictors and outcome variables. Results Out of 233 mothers, 231 (78 cases and 153 controls) were participated with response rate, 99.14%. The result of this study showed that not attending ANC (AOR= 4.61, 95%CI; 1.54, 13.79), history of abortion(AOR =3.88, 95% CI; 1.62, 9.30), Premature rupture of the membrane (AOR=3.91,95% CI;1.15,13.25), Sexually transmitted illness (AOR=3.51,95% CI; 1.26,9.76) and physical violence (AOR=2.78, 95%CI;1.19,6.52) had significant association with preterm birth. Conclusions The result of this study showed that not attending antenatal care, history of abortion, premature rupture of membrane, sexually transmitted illness and physical violence identified as potential risk factors of preterm birth. Therefore, it is important to encourage pregnant mothers to have optimum antenatal care follow-up. Healthcare providers should also focus on screening and counseling pregnant mother on obstetric complications and limiting physical violence.
