La fuite des enfants non accompagnés
À Oakland, en Californie, arrivent beaucoup de jeunes migrants voyageant seuls, sans papiers, venant d’Amérique Centrale et du Mexique. L’article décrit une approche multidisciplinaire susceptible d’aider ces enfants dans un centre de santé implanté dans l’école, à Oakland. Le « Centre de Santé Castlemont pour le Progrés des Jeunes » a ouvert en 20...
Joint Determination of Residential Relocation and Commuting: A Forecasting Experiment for Sustainable Land Use and Trans...
can improve the forecasting performance. The relocation-commuting association is found to differ substantially by region, suggesting the importance of region-specific factors in shaping the interrelationship. Joint forecasting, however, can attain a higher accuracy compared to the two separate projections, although the forecasting performance varie...
Comparisons of Citizen Science Data-Gathering Approaches to Evaluate Urban Butterfly Diversity
27 (90%) were recorded by Pollard walk observers, 18 (60%) were found in Malaise traps, and 22 (73%) were reported by iNaturalist observers. Pollard walks reported the highest butterfly species richness, followed by iNaturalist and then Malaise traps during the four-month time period. Pollard walks also had significantly higher species diversity th...
Impacts of Pacific SSTs on Atmospheric Circulations Leading to California Winter Precipitation Variability: A Diagnostic...
o Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) on precipitation are indecisive. Our results emphasize the significant role of the western tropical Pacific SST forcing in the recent past, and in turn on CA droughts and potentially other precipitation extremes.
Impaired Water Hazard Zones: Mapping Intersecting Environmental Health Vulnerabilities and Polluter Disproportionality
significantly predicted block group proximity to impaired water hazard zones. A geographically weighted logistic regression (GWLR) specification improved model fit and uncovered spatial heterogeneity in the predictors of block group proximity to impaired water hazard zones. The modal GWLR results in Oakland, California, show how major polluters bey...

Accessory Dwelling Units as Low-Income Housing: California’s Faustian Bargain
s density and prior compliance with state housing laws maintained negative associations. In summary, ADUs did increase local housing inventory and potential ADUs were positively associated with ADU production, but ADUs as low-income housing remained a paper calculation.
Indicators of Land Insecurity for Urban Farms: Institutional Affiliation, Investment, and Location
As urban agriculture (UA) continues to expand in the United States, many practitioners question its continuation in cities with high property values and increased economic incentives for development. Frequently, these pressures make urban farmers anxious about investing resources, time, and energy in land suitable for food production if tenure is i...
Ancient human parallel lineages within North America contributed to a coastal expansion.
...
Little is known regarding the first people to enter the Americas and their genetic legacy. Genomic analysis of the oldest human remains from the Americas showed a direct relationship between a Clovis-related ancestral population and all modern Central and South Americans as well as a deep split separating them from North Americans in Canada. We pre...
