Definition of geographic disparities Data on total malaria cases (combined Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax) and deaths (P. falciparum) at the first administrative level (admin1) from 2010 to 2020 were obtained from the Malaria Atlas Project (MAP) (www.map.ox.ac.uk). Using these data...
Infant mortality at this spatial definition is followed over four points in time, the most recent being the early 1990s. Using a variety of inequality measures, the analysis demonstrates a decline in relative small-area differentials in the chances of infant deaths up to 1958, but some ...

The selection of the dependent variable has implications for the definition of spatial units for subsequent analysis, because they should ideally capture functional units (see Sect.2.1). The data in LISA are originally provided at a municipality level. Yet, as labour market processes often transcend...

“practices” of seeing that different imaging systems enable (i.e. the difference between what a view camera and an automated license-plate reading camera “want” to do and how they see the world differently). Crucially, the definition of photography I’m proposing hereencompasses imaging ...
