From the global to the subnational scale: landing the compositional monitoring of drinking water and sanitation services
(Elsevier, 2022-09)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyMonitoring of access to water and sanitation services is stipulated in Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 6.1 and 6.2, respectively. The monitoring is carried out with a global, regional and country vision. However, in ... -
Spatially-structured human mortality modelling using air pollutants with a compositional approach
(Elsevier, 2022-03)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe human mortality models with a demographic approach are performed in function of time. The addition of information (social, economic, and environmental) in the structure of demographic models allows fitting observed ... -
A new measure of hygiene inequality applied to urban-rural comparison
(2022-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyAccess to hygiene services remains one of the most urgent challenges facing countries, especially low-income ones. This has become much more critical in the current context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The WHO/UNICEF Joint ... -
Compositional spatio-temporal PM2.5 modelling in wildfires
(2021-10)
Article
Open AccessWildfires are natural ecological processes that generate high levels of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) that are dispersed into the atmosphere. PM2.5 could be a potential health problem due to its size. Having adequate ... -
Modelling hourly spatio-temporal PM2.5 concentration in wildfire scenarios using dynamic linear models
(2020-09)
Article
Open AccessParticulate matter with aerodynamic diameter < 2.5 μm (PM2.5) is one of the main pollutants generated in wildfire events with negative impacts on human health. In research involving wildfires and air quality, it is common ... -
Influence of atmospheric parameters on human mortality data at different geographical levels
(Elsevier, 2021-03)
Article
Open AccessHuman mortality data are often modeled using a demographic approach as a function of time. This approach does not present an adequate fit model for the number of deaths with great variability. For this reason, additional ... -
Child mortality levels and trends: a new compositional approach
(2020-07)
Article
Open AccessBackground: Trend analysis of child mortality is vital to evaluate countries’ progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goal on health (SDG 3). However, strictly speaking, child mortality data are probabilities, ... -
Decision analysis for sustainable development: the case of renewable energy planning under uncertainty
(Elsevier, 2021-06)
Article
Open AccessMulti-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods are increasingly used to aid decision-making for sustainable development. However, although uncertainty is present in all decision environments, dealing with incomplete and ... -
A techno-economic optimization model of a biomass-based CCHP/heat pump system under evolving climate conditions
(Elsevier, 2020-08-07)
Article
Open AccessAn innovative modelling approach for the design of biomass-based, solar-assisted combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) and heat pump (HP) systems for various climate scenarios is proposed in this work. The modelling ... -
Spatio-temporal air pollution modelling using a compositional approach
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020-09)
Article
Open AccessAir pollutant data are compositional in character because they describe quantitatively the parts of a whole (atmospheric composition). However, it is common to use air pollutant concentrations in statistical models without ... -
Preprocessing alternatives for compositional data related to water, sanitation and hygiene
(Elsevier, 2020-06)
Article
Open AccessThe Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 6.1 and 6.2 measure the progress of urban and rural populations in their access to different levels of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services, based on multiple sources of ... -
Status of water quality for human consumption in high-Andean rural communities: discrepancies between techniques for identifying trace metals
(MDPI AG, 2020-06)
Article
Open AccessAccess to safe water is essential for people’s lives and health. However, little information is available about the quality of water consumed in rural communities in the Andes of Peru. The difficulties of accessing ...
