Summary of your 'study carrel' ============================== This is a summary of your Distant Reader 'study carrel'. The Distant Reader harvested & cached your content into a collection/corpus. It then applied sets of natural language processing and text mining against the collection. The results of this process was reduced to a database file -- a 'study carrel'. The study carrel can then be queried, thus bringing light specific characteristics for your collection. These characteristics can help you summarize the collection as well as enumerate things you might want to investigate more closely. This report is a terse narrative report, and when processing is complete you will be linked to a more complete narrative report.

This category is the focus of this book, through which we try to address resilience and management measures to overcome the urban challenges and diverse disruptions of disease outbreak events. In each event, the city resilience and management measures and methods are not the same, but they are generally similar in terms of how we should respond to the impacts and vulnerabilities caused by the situation. In this regard, an epidemic situation is defined as the further expansion of the outbreak event, normally including a larger number of cities and communities, beyond just a particular contained region. The next few chapters of the book focus purely on key factors of urban resilience and city management to address their practicalities in a probable case of an outbreak event. doi = 10.1007/978-981-15-5487-2_1 id = cord-102613-hly07ne3 author = Danko, David title = Global Genetic Cartography of Urban Metagenomes and Anti-Microbial Resistance date = 2020-05-04 keywords = AMR; Supp; city; figure; sample summary = We identified covariates which influenced the taxonomic composition 204 of our samples: city, population density, average temperature in June, region, elevation above sea-level, 205 surface type, surface material, elevation above or below ground and proximity to the coast. To quantify how the principle covariates, climate, continent, and surface material impacted the taxo-213 nomic composition of samples, we performed a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on our taxonomic 214 data normalized by proportion and identified principal components (PCs) which were strongly associated 215 with a metadata covariate in a positive or negative direction (PCs were centered so an average direction 216 indicates an association).

Using a gravity model for city-to-city contacts, we explored the effect of population size and distance on the spread of disease and tested assumptions regarding density dependence in connectivity between cities. We employed Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods to estimate parameters of the model for population, infectivity, distance and density dependence. For England and Wales, a model that estimated the degree of density dependence in connectivity between cities was preferable by deviance information criterion comparison. The low kernel power parameter estimates we have found in both England and Wales and the US suggests that long-distance interactions were important in spreading influenza between distant cities in both countries. doi = 10.1098/rsif.2010.0216 id = cord-317465-ucwuptgg author = FANG, H. title = Human Mobility Restrictions and the Spread of the Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in China date = 2020-03-26 keywords = Hubei; January; Wuhan; city summary = doi = 10.1101/2020.03.24.20042424 id = cord-021673-vs4famsa author = Foley, M. title = Establishing Singapore as the Events and Entertainment Capital of Asia: Strategic Brand Diversification date = 2009-11-16 keywords = Asia; Singapore; city; cultural; event summary = doi = 10.1016/b978-0-08-045100-8.00004-1 id = cord-353718-8a5pq57e author = Freitas, Ângela title = Assessing Urban Health Inequities through a Multidimensional and Participatory Framework: Evidence from the EURO-HEALTHY Project date = 2020-08-28 keywords = Lisbon; city; health; indicator; urban summary = doi = 10.1007/s11524-020-00471-5 id = cord-272526-2fgtjouu author = Hutton, Thomas A title = Service industries, globalization, and urban restructuring within the Asia-Pacific: new development trajectories and planning responses date = 2003-05-30 keywords = Asia; Atlantic; Hong; Kong; Pacific; Shanghai; Singapore; Tokyo; Vancouver; city; industry; service; urban summary = 5 5 In general scholarly attention to the growth and development of service activities has evolved as follows: (a) an early interest in the growth of high-rise offices in the CBDs of the largest metropolitan cities, including important theoretical and conceptual contributions (Gottmann, 1961) , (b) a stream of empirical studies of office location, emphasizing regional policy implications and urban planning problems (Daniels, 1975; Goddard, 1975) , (c) growing interest in the social ramifications of services growth (Bell, 1973) , (d) a sharper analytical focus on business, ''producer'' and other intermediate services, and their role in urban and regional development (Noyelle and Stanback, 1984) , and in the operation of ''flexible'' industrial regimes, (e) assessments of the global dimensions of services development, especially in banking and finance, as well as in producer services and communications (Daniels, 1993 ), (f) acknowledgement of the importance of specialized services in the emergence of the ''informational city'' and urban society (Castells, 1989) , and (g) explorations of the intersections between tertiarization, occupational shifts, urban class (re)formation, and community-level impacts, especially in the metropolitan core (Ley, 1996) . doi = 10.1016/s0305-9006(03)00013-8 id = cord-348435-z1c16thl author = Jiricka-Pürrer, Alexandra title = City tourism pre- and post-covid-19 pandemic – Messages to take home for climate change adaptation and mitigation? date = 2020-09-30 keywords = Austria; Vienna; city; covid-19; tourism summary = doi = 10.1016/j.jort.2020.100329 id = cord-287304-h6wj7m8u author = Keil, Roger title = Governing the Sick City: Urban Governance in the Age of Emerging Infectious Disease date = 2007-12-07 keywords = SARS; Toronto; city; governance; health; new; public; urban summary = doi = 10.1111/j.1467-8330.2007.00555.x id = cord-272412-vhznzg1x author = Kimari, Wangui title = Outlaw Nairobi versus The Pandemics date = 2020-06-03 keywords = Nairobi; city summary = doi = 10.1111/ciso.12305 id = cord-020617-w36yri4g author = Kubo, Tomoko title = Divided Tokyo: Housing Policy, the Ideology of Homeownership, and the Growing Contrast Between the City Center and the Suburbs date = 2020-03-09 keywords = Airport; City; Japan; Narita; Tokyo; japanese summary = doi = 10.1007/978-981-15-4202-2_2 id = cord-305629-utjng3dq author = Kutralam-Muniasamy, Gurusamy title = Impacts of the COVID-19 lockdown on air quality and its association with human mortality trends in megapolis Mexico City date = 2020-10-28 keywords = City; Mexico; covid-19 summary = doi = 10.1007/s11869-020-00960-1 id = cord-298003-6yvcl92q author = Lawrence, Roderick J. title = Responding to COVID-19: What’s the Problem? date = 2020-06-05 keywords = city; country; health summary = In addition to knowledge and know-how acquired from biological, ecological, health, medical and veterinary sciences, this pandemic confirms the crucial function and contribution of access to many types of resources when they are needed; in particular, sufficient stocks of medical equipment; hospital wards with specialised infrastructure; replenished supplies of pharmaceutical products; adequate numbers of trained and qualified medical doctors, nursing staff and auxiliary personnel in hospitals, medical centres and nursing homes for elderly persons and coordinated uses of all these resources when the virus is first diagnosed in specific localities.

METHODS: An unmatched 1:1 case control study was conducted in Ngezi and Rimuka townships in Kadoma City, Zimbabwe. Diarrheal disease is a leading cause of child mortality and morbidity in the world, and mostly results from contaminated food and water sources.In developing countries, children below 3 years experience on average 3 episodes of diarrhoea every year. A case was defined as a child less than five years old who presented to a health facility with acute watery diarrhoea, with or without vomiting and other symptoms, between 5 th September and 1 st October 2011, who had been resident in Kadoma City for one week prior to onset of symptoms. This study sought to establish risk factors for contracting watery diarrhoea among children less than five years old in Kadoma City. doi = 10.1186/1471-2334-13-567 id = cord-261420-8wavi5tk author = Nazarimehr, Fahimeh title = Prediction of bifurcations by varying critical parameters of COVID-19 date = 2020-06-16 keywords = COVID-19; city summary = Some critical parameters, such as the background of mortality without considering the disease state and the speed of moving people from infected to resistance, affect the conditions of society.

Among the geographic foci of the resulting set of nine papers are cities in the United States, China, Europe, and South America; they combine analyses of inequalities at regional/inter-urban and intra-urban scales; and they cover a range of inequality dimensions including questions of residential segregation, commuting, food access, health, housing disparities, job access, economic vitality, and demography. Foreign direct investment (FDI) tends to prefer cities with well developed infrastructure, covenient access to political power, substantial integration with the global economy, and advanced social-economic conditions, which result in an increase of urban primacy and spatial polarization (Huang & Wei, 2011) . doi = 10.1016/j.apgeog.2020.102188 id = cord-326519-1r3jdffu author = Orlova, Galina title = City Archipelago: Mapping (post)lockdown Moscow through its heterogeneities date = 2020-07-11 keywords = City; Hall; Moscow; mask summary = doi = 10.1111/ciso.12331 id = cord-219520-by3gxrd8 author = Pang, Junjie title = Collaborative City Digital Twin For Covid-19 Pandemic: A Federated Learning Solution date = 2020-11-05 keywords = COVID-19; city summary = doi = nan id = cord-318301-gd43bacv author = Paul, Arpan title = A critical review of liveability approaches and their dimensions date = 2020-10-02 keywords = city; liveability; urban summary = doi = 10.1016/j.geoforum.2020.09.008 id = cord-315343-ywgoqlxj author = Ribeiro, Haroldo V. title = City size and the spreading of COVID-19 in Brazil date = 2020-09-23 keywords = COVID-19; case; city summary = doi = 10.1371/journal.pone.0239699 id = cord-005189-z92vwovw author = Saier, Milton H. title = Are Megacities Sustainable? date = 2006-07-28 keywords = city; population summary = Increasing numbers of people are moving to cities, causing urban populations to expand. Moreover, the primary product produced by a particular urban population may result from the presence of a single company, and its presence in that city reflects the decisions of just a few executives. This tremendous rise results both from astronomical global birth over death rates and from the migration of rural populations to the cities. Moreover, about 1% of the world_s rural population moves from the country to the cities every two years. The sudden loss of a city_s infrastructure due to a natural or man-created disaster would be expected to promote human suffering of a magnitude that far surpasses anything that could have occurred in the past with a less centralized population living in a rural setting. Past examples of urban disasters abound: The great San Francisco earthquake and fire of 1906 caused thousands of deaths and tremendous loss of property. doi = 10.1007/s11270-006-9211-1 id = cord-026334-n8ek9fw3 author = Shah, Pooja title = Prevention is Better than Cure: An Application of Big Data and Geospatial Technology in Mitigating Pandemic date = 2020-06-06 keywords = GIS; city; covid-19 summary = doi = 10.1007/s41403-020-00120-y id = cord-018316-drjfwcdg author = Shephard, Roy J. title = Building the Infrastructure and Regulations Needed for Public Health and Fitness date = 2017-09-19 keywords = Europe; Health; London; city; disease; public; water summary = doi = 10.1007/978-3-319-65097-5_22 id = cord-017790-5iwgebvp author = Siegel, Frederic R. title = Disease Protection in Sea Coast (and Inland) Cities: Problems in Dense Populations with Shantytowns/Slums date = 2019-07-13 keywords = Ebola; city; disease summary = Important factors that have to be considered by public health personnel in sea coast cities in order to be prepared to deal with disease include a location''s latitude and elevation as they influence climate (temperature and humidity).

The release of heavy metals from industrialization, utility sources, and vehicles into a city environment and associated ecosystems on land and in the oceans can be an inherited legacy or existing danger to public health through bad air and contaminated water, soils, and foods. How sea coast cities (and inner ones) and national governments have adapted to mitigate toxic metal pollution is reflected in the health status of their populations. doi = 10.1007/978-3-030-22669-5_6 id = cord-301053-3fw0hrbl author = Silva, P. J. S. title = Robot dance: a city-wise automatic control of Covid-19 mitigation levels date = 2020-05-18 keywords = Paulo; São; city summary = Taking into account parameters associated to the population of each city and the mobility among them, the optimal control framework suggests the level and duration of protective measures that must be implemented to ensure that the number of infected individuals is within a range that avoids the collapse of the health care system. Compared against other mitigation measures that are implemented simultaneously and in equal strength across cities our method has three major particularities when: Accounts for city commute and health infrastructure: It takes into account the daily commute among cities to estimate the dynamics of infected people while keeping the number of infected people within a desired level at each city avoiding the collapse of its health care system. . https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.05.11.20098541 doi: medRxiv preprint night day Figure 1 : Daily dynamics of workers traveling to nearby cities. doi = 10.1101/2020.05.11.20098541 id = cord-198395-v15queyh author = Storch, David-Maximilian title = Incentive-driven discontinuous transition to high ride-sharing adoption date = 2020-08-25 keywords = City; Fig; Supplementary; share summary = doi = nan id = cord-353277-vd0etd38 author = Tucker, Jennifer L. title = Informal Work and Sustainable Cities: From Formalization to Reparation date = 2020-09-18 keywords = Global; city; economy; environmental; informal; waste; work; worker summary = Too often, policy elites, including those promoting sustainable cities, overlook this value, proposing formalization and relying on deficit-based framings of informal work. Building on our research in India and Paraguay, amplifying critical informality scholarship and centering the knowledge produced by workers'' organizations, we assert that by thinking historically, relationally, and spatially, and redistributing power and resources to workers, we can move beyond formalization to a frame that centers decent work, ecological health, and reparation for uneven legacies of harm. 40 Informal work produces economic, social, and environmental value that sustains lives and urban environments. Thinking historically, relationally, and spatially reveals how the value produced by informal workers subsidize urban economies and ecologies, even as racial capitalism predictably reproduces job scarcity, income inequality, and poverty, the very conditions that impel many to informal work. doi = 10.1016/j.oneear.2020.08.012 id = cord-275814-seirbkiq author = Tuncer, Necibe title = Effect of air travel on the spread of an avian influenza pandemic to the United States date = 2014-03-31 keywords = city; influenza summary = A two-city mathematical model involving a pandemic strain is used to derive the basic reproduction number ( R 0 ), which determines if the disease will spread and persist ( R 0 > 1 ) or go extinct ( R 0 < 1 ). Real air travel data is used to model the disease spread by individuals who are susceptible to or are infected with pandemic avian influenza. Real air travel data is used to model the disease spread by individuals who are susceptible to or are infected with pandemic avian influenza. We only consider the air travel of susceptible and infected humans with pandemic avian influenza because the infected individuals can only contract the disease from domestic birds (that do not travel). HPAI and pandemic avian influenza both become extinct in the bird and human populations when all the reproduction numbers are less than one. doi = 10.1016/j.ijcip.2014.02.001 id = cord-136729-dr0dxm82 author = Wu, Ziqiang title = COVID-19 Plateau: A Phenomenon of Epidemic Development under Adaptive Prevention Strategies date = 2020-11-06 keywords = city; prevention summary = doi = nan id = cord-300212-3ljvw0vm author = Włodarczyk-Marciniak, Renata title = Residents’ awareness of the role of informal green spaces in a post-industrial city, with a focus on regulating services and urban adaptation potential date = 2020-05-08 keywords = IGS; Urban; city; Łódź summary = doi = 10.1016/j.scs.2020.102236 id = cord-138886-8zwjdlrt author = Xu, Yanyan title = Deconstructing laws of accessibility and facility distribution in cities date = 2020-07-17 keywords = city; facility summary = doi = nan id = cord-262832-5iejckwx author = Yen, Muh-Yong title = Taipei''s Use of a Multi-Channel Mass Risk Communication Program to Rapidly Reverse an Epidemic of Highly Communicable Disease date = 2009-11-23 keywords = AHC; City; Keelung; Taipei summary = In launching countermeasures to bring the AHC outbreak under control, the Taipei Department of Health was also able to test its system and fine-tune its public health response for future EIDs. To evaluate the effectiveness of these intervention measures, daily surveillance was conducted to analyze the incidence rate and temporal-spatial distribution of new AHC cases. This risk communication program focused on communicating directly to the public through three routes: (1) schools delivered a Taipei Department of Health letter signed by the mayor (that detailed AHC information and prevention methods) for students to take home to their parents, (2) the mayor held a press conference to discuss the epidemic and offer guidance to citizens for preventing the spread of the disease, and (3) over 2.2 million short message services (SMS) messages, a communication tool for exchanging short text messages between mobile telephonic devices, were delivered to all Taipei mobile phone numbers. doi = 10.1371/journal.pone.0007962 id = cord-002774-tpqsjjet author = nan title = Section II: Poster Sessions date = 2017-12-01 keywords = AIDS; Canada; Centre; City; Community; HCV; HIV; Health; India; MSM; National; New; Toronto; Vancouver; York; access; african; age; care; child; datum; drug; group; high; introduction; method; need; patient; population; poster; program; research; result; service; session; social; study; urban; woman; year summary = Results: The CHIP Framework The CHIP framework aims to improve the health and wellness of the urban communities served by St. Josephs Health Centre through four intersecting pillars: • Raising Community Voices provides an infrastructure and process that supports community stakeholder input into health care service planning, decision-making, and delivery by the hospital and across the continuum of care; • Sharing Reciprocal Capacity promotes healthy communities through the sharing of our intellectual and physical capacity with our community partners; • Cultivating Integration Initiatives facilitates vertical, horizontal, and intersectoral integration initiatives in support of community-identified needs and gaps; and • Facilitating Healthy Exchange develops best practices in community integration through community-based research, and facilitates community voice in informing public policy. doi = 10.1093/jurban/jti137 id = cord-265628-47dvjaa9 author = nan title = Administrative boundaries and urban areas in Italy: A perspective from scaling laws date = 2020-08-13 keywords = Fig; Italy; area; city summary = Relying on open data for population, settlements and road networks, we showed the extent to which scaling relations hold for different boundaries for urban areas, and how they compare to each other. Area-population data for administrative boundaries can be reconciled with scaling relations valid for both the world''s cities data and with those obtained from natural cities, provided an effective area is adopted in place of polygon planimetric area of municipalities. Starting from the highest ranking, one can select all of the adjacent (surrounding) municipalities and try and find a candidate polygon to be merged with the central one, based on two requirements: (i) the aggregate areas and populations of the candidate mergers have a representative point in the (P A , ) plane which is closer to the scaling law than both the starting points, and (ii) the two candidates for the merger are connected by an urban area, as obtained by the method natural cities. doi = 10.1016/j.landurbplan.2020.103906 id = cord-266363-x9872ykd author = van der Hoeven, Arno title = The spatial value of live music: Performing, (re)developing and narrating urban spaces date = 2020-10-17 keywords = city; live; music; space; urban; value summary = doi = 10.1016/j.geoforum.2020.09.016
