description: This study evaluated physicians’ perceptions, practices, confidence, comfort level and prior training in managing menopause. A survey was conducted of a convenience sample of physicians from the Middle East and Africa (MEA) in 2019. We covered knowledge of symptoms, menopausal hormone therapy (MHT), other menopause management strategies and prior training in menopause medicine. Of the 254 participants, 64.2% were seniors in family medicine (36.4%), endocrinology (36.0%), gynecology (15.8%) and internal medicine (13.8%). Fewer than one-third (28.8%) correctly identified the diagnostic criteria of menopause. Almost all recognized vasomotor symptoms (99.5%), vaginal dryness (96.2%) and mood disturbance (94.3%), but to a lesser extent other symptoms. Inconsistency and critical gaps were identified in responses to competence questions on six case studies. They recalled having occasional (43.2%) or no training (19.4%) in menopause medicine and rated their preparedness to treat menopause widely. A total of 66.2% agreed that training is very important. Variation between specialties was identified. Many physicians recognize the importance of education in menopause management, but their responses revealed critical knowledge gaps that underscored the need for comprehensive, evidence-based menopause management.

description: The aim of this study is to analyze the publication trends on the psychological health of postmenopausal women by performing a bibliometric and visualization analysis that can be used as a foundation for understanding current and future research plans. Publications were retrieved from Dimensions database from 2012 to June 2022. VOSviewer software was used for data mining and visualization. A total of 1718 papers were selected by keyword search and delimiting criteria. To evaluate the productive nations, authors, journals, articles and frequent joint citations, citation analysis, author keyword co-occurrence analysis, co-authorship analysis and co-citation analysis were performed. Results depict that the USA contributed the most papers (n = 457). Maximum articles (n = 192) were published in 2021. The highest number of articles are published in Menopause: The Journal of the North American Menopause Society and Climacteric: The Journal of the International Menopause Society. Out of the top 10 contributing organizations in the field, six organizations were from the USA. R. Nappi of Italy is the most productive author with 20 articles and 1138 citations. From the point of average citations per article, H. Joffe has the highest score (71.5). The data reported in this analysis contribute to discussions about the development, growth and current state of psychological health of postmenopausal women as well as its impact. These findings offer helpful guidance for researchers in choosing their potential fields of study and integrating different approaches to solve complicated issues, finding potential co-authors and choosing the right institutions for supporting academic studies or collaborative research.

description: Repetitiveness in projective and injective resolutions and its influence on homological dimensions are studied. Some variations on the theme of repetitiveness are introduced, and it is shown that the corresponding invariants lead to very good -- and quite accessible -- upper bounds on various finitistic dimensions in terms of individual modules. These invariants are the `repetition index' and the `syzygy type' of a module $M$ over an artinian ring $Λ$. The repetition index measures the degree of repetitiveness among non-projective direct summands of the syzygies of $M$, while the syzygy type of $M$ measures the number of indecomposable modules among direct summands of the syzygies of $M$. It is proved that if $T$ is a right $Λ$-module which contains an isomorphic copy of $Λ/J(Λ)$, then the left big finitistic dimension of $Λ$ is bounded above by the repetition index of $T$, which in turn is bounded above by the syzygy type of $T$. The finite dimensional $K$-algebras $Λ= {\cal O}/π{\cal O}$, where $\cal O$ is a classical order over a discrete valuation ring $D$ with uniformizing parameter $π$ and residue class field $K$, are investigated. It is proved that, if $\text{gl.dim.}\, {\cal O} =d
Stochastic Models for Dynamic Resource Allocation
Creators: name: Yarahmadi, Amin
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2023

description: Determining the efficacy of a novel intervention is vital before making it available to the public. The standard equal fixed randomisation procedure in the design of (static) experiments leads to an unbiased Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE) for each intervention. However, this approach results in a heavily suboptimal cumulative reward. On the other hand, it imposes limitations in some situations, especially for rare diseases, when it is desirable to design a clinical trial on a small number of subjects while treating them as well as possible. This motivates the use of response-adaptive procedures where the allocation ratios to each arm can be skewed toward the better-performing intervention as subject responses become available. Hence, we consider the Bayesian Beta-Bernoulli finite-horizon two-armed bandit problem with binary responses and the objective function of maximising the Bayes-expected total number of subject successes in the trial, which we call the subject benefit. Using a memory-efficient implementation, dynamic programming is utilised as the solution method for the proposed model to derive the randomised designs. Despite the type of randomisation procedure, the MLE is estimated in a frequentist way using DP-based solutions at the end of the trial. We first evaluate the bias of MLE and show that it is unacceptably high and variable due to the model's adaptiveness. We propose a new augmented estimator with the aim of mitigating the estimation bias whilst the DP actions are deterministic. Moreover, by modifying the allocation decision at every time step, we introduce two novel allocation procedures that mitigate the bias induced by the DP procedure: (i) DP using an augmented estimator, which adds a number of pseudo-successes to the worse-performing intervention, and (ii) randomised DP procedure, which perturbs the Bayes-optimal allocation decision with a given probability. Lastly, another DP design is proposed based upon setting an interim analysis, in which some novel and non-trivial stopping criteria have been developed, in the middle of the trial. The interim analysis look can be implemented in the simulation step or both the DP procedure and the simulation step, identically. We evaluated the proposed designs via extensive simulation studies in a broad range of scenarios. This thesis addresses some key issues in the trade-off between reducing the bias in the estimation and improving the subject benefit in the bandit models, which can be considered as a limitation preventing bandit models from being implemented in practice.

description: Enhancing robustness of topological orders against perturbations is one of the main goals in topological quantum computing. Since the kinetic of excitations is in conflict with the robustness of topological orders, any mechanism that reduces the mobility of excitations will be in favor of robustness. A strategy in this direction is adding frustration to topological systems. In this paper we consider a frustrated toric code on a kagome lattice, and show that although increasing the strength of perturbation reduces the topological order of the system, it cannot destroy it completely. Our frustrated toric code is indeed a quantum loop gas model with string tension and pressure which their competition leads to a partially topological phase (PTP) in which the excitations are restricted to move in particular sublattices. In this phase the ground state is a product of many copies of fluctuating loop states corresponding to quasi one dimensional ladders. By defining a non-local matrix order parameter and studying the behavior of ground state global entanglement (GE), we distinguish the PTP from the standard topological phase. The partial mobility of excitations in our system is a reminiscent of fracton codes with restricted mobility, and therefore our results propose an alternative way for making such a restriction in three dimension.

Effects of Context(s) on Political Radicalisation
Creators: name: Kordoni, Anastasia
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2023

description: Understanding the drivers of political radicalisation is necessary to predict and plan for radicalised responses. While the radicalisation literature shows an increasing interest in the ways context elicits radicalised behaviours, empirical research in this area remains limited. Additionally, while this literature categorises context into individual, group, and mass level, it has rarely systematically tested how a combination of these categories affect radical behavioural outcomes. In this thesis, I argue that accounting for the interdependency between different context categories can explain the heterogeneity of radicalisation processes and outcomes. I draw on contextual challenges that are prevalent in our social reality to examine how individuals’ online/offline societal experiences, alongside broader categories of socio-political contexts and national cultural references, drive radical endorsements. More specifically, I use this context interdependency to examine both radical shifts and the underlying processes that direct these shifts. In doing so, I propose a conceptual framework which identifies the biopsychosocial mechanisms that are likely to stimulate radical action (Chapter 1). A contextual approach to political radicalisation assumes that different sets of context categories interact in diverse ways and are likely to instigate psychological processes that drive different forms of radical outcomes. To investigate this assumption, I explored how context interdependency affects physio-cognitive and group processes to elicit support for radical actions. Using big data (Google search data) and two different experimental designs (with the general population and students from the UK and USA), I showed how combining online societal experiences and socio-cultural contexts predicts radical shifts in response to practices of surveillance and privacy violation over time (Chapter 2). Extending this research, five experiments were carried out to show that radical endorsement-as measured with response to hate speech, Brexit, vote denials in European elections, and climate change- are predicted by a combination of online/offline societal experiences, socio-political and national cultural contexts and determined by physio-cognitive processes, identity processes and individual belief systems (Chapter 3). Theoretical implications for the importance of context in shaping political radicalisation and practical implications for explaining radical shifts are provided (Chapter 4).

description: We present a systematic study of the nonlinear thermal Hall responses in bosonic systems using the quantum kinetic theory framework. We demonstrate the existence of an intrinsic nonlinear boson thermal current, arising from the quantum metric which is a wavefunction dependent band geometric quantity. In contrast to the nonlinear Drude and nonlinear anomalous Hall contributions, the intrinsic nonlinear thermal conductivity is independent of the scattering timescale. We demonstrate the dominance of this intrinsic thermal Hall response in topological magnons in a two-dimensional ferromagnetic honeycomb lattice without Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. Our findings highlight the significance of band geometry induced nonlinear thermal transport and motivate experimental probe of the intrinsic nonlinear thermal Hall response with implications for quantum magnonics.

The observed light curves were analyzed using the 2009 version of the Wilson-Devinney code. The results show that the more massive component is hotter than the low massive one by 99 K. A long term orbital period study shows that the period increases by the rate 8.946*10^(-11) day/cycle. Evolutionary state of the system has been investigated and showed that, the primary component of the system is located nearly on the ZAMS for both the M-L and M-R relations. The secondary component is close to the TAMS track for M-L and above the M-R relations.

description: Since the very first observations, the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) has revealed on large-scales unexpected features known as anomalies, which challenge the standard $Λ$ cold dark matter ($Λ$CDM) cosmological model. One such anomaly is the "lack-of-correlation", where the measured two-point angular correlation function of CMB temperature anisotropies is compatible with zero, differently from the predictions of the standard model. This anomaly could indicate a deviation from the standard model, unknown systematics, or simply a rare realization of the model itself. In this study, we explore the possibility that the lack-of-correlation anomaly is a consequence of living in a rare realization of the standard model, by leveraging the potential information provided by the cosmological gravitational wave background (CGWB) detectable by future gravitational wave (GW) interferometers. We analyze both constrained and unconstrained realizations of the CGWB to investigate the extent of information that GWs can offer. To quantify the impact of the CGWB on the lack-of-correlation anomaly, we employ established estimators and introduce a new estimator that addresses the "look-elsewhere" effect. Additionally, we consider three different maximum multipoles, denoted as $\ell_{\rm max}$, to account for the anticipated capabilities of future GW detectors ($\ell_{\rm max} = 4, 6, 10$). Summarizing our findings for the case of $\ell_{\rm max} = 4$, we identify the angular range $[63^\circ - 180^\circ]$ as the region where future observations of the CGWB maximize the probability of rejecting the standard model. Furthermore, we calculate the expected significance of this observation, demonstrating that 98.81% (81.67%) of the GW realizations enhance the current significance of the anomaly when considering the full-sky (masked) Planck SMICA map as our CMB sky.

Framework to analyze construction labor productivity using fuzzy data clustering and multi-criteria decision-making

Year: 2020

Construction labor productivity (CLP) has a significant impact on the performance and profitability of construction projects. A construction project can benefit from improved labor productivity in many ways, such as a shorter project life cycle and lower project cost. However, budget and resource restrictions force construction companies to select and implement only the most effective CLP improvement strategies. Analyzing labor productivity in order to determine the most effective CLP improvement strategies is a difficult task because labor productivity is influenced by numerous subjective and objective factors. This paper presents a framework for ranking the factors affecting CLP according to their importance for CLP improvement; the framework uses an integration of fuzzy data clustering and multi-criteria decision-making methods. The proposed framework entails asking experts to weight determinant criteria for selecting CLP improvement strategies and then clustering CLP factors and ranking the clusters. This paper’s major contribution is providing a systematic approach for analyzing and selecting CLP improvement strategies by identifying the CLP factors with the greatest impact on productivity improvement. The findings of this research will help establish a set of CLP improvement strategies in order to enhance CLP.

description: This study aimed to examine changes over a 10-year period in experiencing climacteric symptoms and their associations with sociodemographic and health-related background factors in a birth cohort of Finnish women who have never used menopausal hormone therapy (MHT). This nationwide population-based follow-up study consists of 1491 women who during the follow-up period moved from the age group 42–46 years to the age group 52–56 years. The experience of climacteric symptoms was assessed by 12 symptoms commonly associated with the climacterium. The data were analyzed using statistical techniques. Both the intensity, expressed as a symptom score of four symptoms associated with a decrease in estrogen production (sweating, hot flushes, vaginal dryness, sleeping problems), and the prevalence of the five most common symptoms (sweating, hot flushes, sleeping problems, lack of sexual desire, depressive symptoms) increased clearly during the follow-up period. The examined sociodemographic and health-related variables did not explain the changes in experiencing the symptoms. The results of this study can be considered in primary and occupational health care and in gynecological settings when working with symptomatic women or women with hidden climacteric problems and carrying out health promotion and counseling for them.

description: We present a new effective-one-body (EOB) waveform for eccentric, nonspinning, binaries in the extreme mass ratio limit, with initial eccentricities up to $0.95$. The EOB analytical waveform, that includes noncircular corrections up to second post-Newtonian order, is completed by a phenomenological ringdown model that is informed by Regge-Wheeler-Zerilli (RWZ) type waveforms generated by a point-particle source. This model notably includes the beating between positive and negative frequency quasi-normal-modes (QNMs). We analyze various prescriptions to faithfully complete the analytical EOB waveform in the transition from plunge to merger. In particular, we systematically explore the effect of: (i) the generic Newtonian prefactor; (ii) next-to-quasi-circular (NQC) corrections to amplitude and phase; (iii) the point were NQC corrections are determined; (iv) the ringdown attachment point. This yields EOB/RWZ quadrupolar phase differences through merger and ringdown $\lesssim 0.01$~rad for the quasi-circular case and $\lesssim 0.05$~rad for the eccentric case. Higher modes are also modeled up to the $\ell=m=5$ multipole. We finally discuss the excitation of the QNMs and present a heuristic model to motivate it in correlation with the presence of a point-particle source.

description: Road traffic accidents (RTAs) are a public health problem worldwide, representing the leading cause of death in the 5-29 age group and the eighth leading cause of death in all age groups. It also accounts for 12% of all deaths on the planet and 20 to 50 million individuals with some kind of sequelae, whether osteoarticular or not. This is a literature review study, in addition to a cross-sectional data collection from 2018 to 2022 from the SUS Hospital Information System (SIH-SUS) by the SUS IT Department (DATASUS) and also by calculating data on the Compulsory Insurance for Personal Injury Caused by Land Vehicles platform. For this reason, public strategies for effective enforcement, strengthening mobility and accessibility policies, improving roads, implementing and improving traffic legislation and investing in safe and sustainable public transportation are necessary.

description: This study aimed to measure safety, systemic pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of a vaginal tamoxifen capsule (DARE-VVA1) among postmenopausal women with moderate-to-severe vulvovaginal atrophy. This was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, phase 1/2 study of DARE-VVA1, in four doses (1, 5, 10 and 20 mg). Seventeen women were enrolled and 14 completed the 8-week treatment. DARE-VVA1 was safe. All adverse events were of mild or moderate severity and distributed similarly among active and placebo groups. Plasma tamoxifen concentrations were highest among women using DARE-VVA1 20 mg, but the maximum mean (standard deviation) plasma tamoxifen concentrations on day 1 (2.66 ± 0.85 ng/ml) and day 56 (5.69 ± 1.87 ng/ml) were <14% of those measured after one oral tamoxifen dose. Active study product users had significant decreases from pre-treatment baseline in vaginal pH and proportion of vaginal parabasal cells (p = 0.04 for both endpoints), with women randomized to the 10 mg or 20 mg dose experiencing the largest treatment impact. The severity of vaginal dryness and dyspareunia decreased significantly from baseline with active study product use (p = 0.02 for both endpoints). DARE-VVA1 is safe and results in minimal systemic exposure to tamoxifen. Preliminary efficacy data support further development of this product.

description: A quantum internet, where widely separated quantum devices are coherently connected, is a fundamental vision for local and global quantum information networks and processing. Superconducting quantum devices can now perform sophisticated quantum engineering locally on chip and a detailed method to achieve coherent optical quantum interconnection between distant superconducting devices is a vital, but highly challenging, goal. We describe a concrete opto-magneto-mechanical system that can interconvert microwave-to-optical quantum information with high fidelity. In one such node we utilise the magnetic fields generated by the supercurrent of a flux qubit to coherently modulate a mechanical oscillator that is part of a high-Q optical cavity to achieve high fidelity microwave-to-optical quantum information exchange. We analyze the transfer between two spatially distant nodes connected by an optical fibre and using currently accessible parameters we predict that the fidelity of transfer could be as high as $\sim 80\%$, even with significant loss.

description: Recently, models with long-range interactions -- known as Hatsugai-Kohmoto (HK) models -- have emerged as a promising tool to study the emergence of superconductivity and topology in strongly correlated systems. Two obstacles, however, have made it difficult to understand the applicability of these models, especially to topological features: they have thermodynamically large ground state degeneracies, and they tacitly assume spin conservation. We show that neither are essential to HK models and that both can be avoided by introducing interactions between tight-binding states in the orbital basis, rather than between energy eigenstates. To solve these "orbital" models, we introduce a general technique for solving HK models and show that previous models appear as special cases. We illustrate our method by exactly solving graphene and the Kane-Mele model with HK interactions. Both realize Mott insulating phases with finite magnetic susceptibility; the graphene model has a fourfold degenerate ground state while the Kane-Mele model has a nondegenerate ground state in the presence of interactions. Our technique then allows us to study the effect of strong interactions on symmetry-enforced degeneracy in spin-orbit coupled double-Dirac semimetals. We show that adding HK interactions to a double Dirac semi-metal leads to a Mott insulating, spin liquid phase. We then use a Schrieffer-Wolff transformation to express the low-energy Hamiltonian in terms of the spin degrees of freedom, making the spin-charge separation explicit. Finally, we enumerate a broader class of symmetry-preserving HK interactions and show how they can violate insulating filling constraints derived from space group symmetries. This suggests that new approaches are needed to study topological order in the presence of long-range interactions of the HK type.

This study tries to connect the several passages from one form – for instance the book illustrations – to another – the slides for the Magic Lantern, up to the cinematographic frames. The analysis of some interesting films of the silent era and – especially – of the beginning of cinema and their relationships with the diversified ‘world’ of other images, is the focus of this study.

description: A VUV beamline at SSRF for ARPES measurements are designed. To increase the resolution and bulk sensitivity, the photon energy as low as 7 eV is desired. Because the reflectivity for p-polarized photons strongly decreases when the photon energy is below 30 eV, the design of high flux beamline for low energy VUV photons is a challenge. This work shows a variable including angle VLPGM with varied grating depth (VGD) which can achieve both high resolution and high flux with broad energy coverage.

description: Molecular predissociation is the spontaneous, nonradiative bond breaking process that can occur upon excitation. In the context of laser cooling, predissociation is an unwanted consequence of molecular structure that limits the ability to scatter a large number of photons required to reach the ultracold regime. Unlike rovibrational branching, predissociation is irreversible since the fragments fly apart with high kinetic energy. Of particular interest is the simple diatomic molecule, CaH, for which the two lowest electronically excited states used in laser cooling lie above the dissociation threshold of the ground potential. In this work, we present measurements and calculations that quantify the predissociation probabilities affecting the cooling cycle. The results allow us to design a laser cooling scheme that will enable the creation of an ultracold and optically trapped cloud of CaH molecules. In addition, we use the results to propose a two-photon pathway to controlled dissociation of the molecules, in order to gain access to their ultracold fragments, including hydrogen.

description: Gamma ray bursts are flashes of light from distant, new-born black holes. CubeSats that monitor high-energy photons across different energy bands are used to detect these bursts. There is a need for computationally efficient algorithms, able to run using the limited computational resource onboard a CubeSats, that can detect when gamma ray bursts occur. Current algorithms are based on monitoring photon counts across a grid of different sizes of time window. We propose a new method, which extends the recently proposed FOCuS approach for online change detection to Poisson data. Our method is mathematically equivalent to searching over all possible window sizes, but at half the computational cost of the current grid-based methods. We demonstrate the additional power of our approach using simulations and data drawn from the Fermi gamma ray burst monitor archive. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: The engineering of the spatial and temporal properties of both the electric permittivity and the refractive index of materials is at the core of photonics. When vanishing to zero, those two variables provide new knobs to control light-matter interactions. This perspective aims at providing an overview of the state of the art and the challenges in emerging research areas where the use of near-zero refractive index and hyperbolic metamaterials is pivotal, in particular light and thermal emission, nonlinear optics, sensing applications and time-varying photonics.

description: We report a deep search for redshifted HI 21 cm emission from three damped and sub-damped Lyman-$α$ absorbers (DLAs) at $z \approx 0.1$ with the Green Bank Telescope (GBT). No evidence for a redshifted HI 21 cm emission signal was obtained in the GBT spectra of two absorbers, with the data on the third rendered unusable by terrestrial interference. The non-detections of HI 21 cm emission yield strong constraints on the HI masses of the associated galaxies, M$_{\rm HI} < 2.3 \times 10^9 \times (ΔV/100)^{1/2}$ M$_\odot$ for the sub-DLA at $z = 0.0830$ towards J1553+3548, and M$_{\rm HI} < 2.7 \times 10^9 \times (ΔV/100)^{1/2}$ M$_\odot$ for the DLA at $z = 0.0963$ towards J1619+3342, where $ΔV$ is the HI 21 cm line width, in km s$^{-1}$. This continues the trend of low HI masses found in all low-$z$ DLAs and sub-DLAs that have been searched for redshifted HI 21 cm emission. Low-redshift absorbers with relatively low HI column densities, $\lesssim few \times 10^{20}$ cm$^{-2}$, thus do not typically arise in massive gas-rich galaxies.

description: The electroless deposition of a novel vanadium-based conversion coating (VCC) on carbon steel was investigated varying parameters as vanadium salt concentration, immersion time, bath pH and temperature. The novelty resides on the deposition of a protective layer from a V4+ solution comprising green reducing agents like ascorbic and citric acids. The VCC was found to be amorphous, composed by closely packed particles rich in vanadium oxides/hydroxides. Corrosion resistance was evaluated by linear polarization resistance, Tafel extrapolation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Such conversion coating provided an optimum corrosion performance for steel substrates immersed in sulphates and chlorides rich solutions. An optimum was achieved with a 0.1 M KVO3 solution held at 45°C, at pH = 3 and a deposition time of 10 min. Higher values of the latter parameters did not provide any further improvements: the formation of cracks during the dehydration process compromised the coating integrity.

description: The purpose of the present research is to provide an explanation about the diversity of methodological approaches proposed until today for SLCA, tracking down its roots in the cultural and scientific heritage of social sciences, especially sociology and management sciences. This will help to shift the current methodological debate in SLCA to an epistemological level, through a critical review about the underlying paradigms that have been applied in SLCA literature until now. Secondly, the research highlights the possible consequences of different paradigmatic stances in SLCA by means of the application, to an important agricultural sector in Calabria, of two different methodological proposals set up from opposite paradigms (post-positivism and interpretivism) and compared in terms of research process and typology of insights.

Ashkin-Teller phase transition and multicritical behavior in a classical monomer-dimer model

description: We use Monte Carlo simulations and tensor network methods to study a classical monomer-dimer model on the square lattice with a hole (monomer) fugacity $z$, an aligning dimer-dimer interaction $u$ that favors columnar order, and an attractive dimer-dimer interaction $v$ between two adjacent dimers that lie on the same principal axis of the lattice. The Monte Carlo simulations of finite size systems rely on our grand-canonical generalization of the dimer worm algorithm, while the tensor network computations are based on a uniform matrix product ansatz for the eigenvector of the row-to-row transfer matrix that work directly in the thermodynamic limit. The phase diagram has nematic, columnar order and fluid phases, and a nonzero temperature multicritical point at which all three meet. For any fixed $v/u < \infty$, we argue that this multicritical point continues to be located at a nonzero hole fugacity $z_{\rm mc}(v/u) > 0$; our numerical results confirm this theoretical expectation but find that $z_{\rm mc}(v/u) \to 0$ very rapidly as $v/u \to \infty$. Our numerical results also confirm the theoretical expectation that the corresponding multicritical behavior is in the universality class of the four-state Potts multicritical point on critical line of the two-dimensional Ashkin-Teller model.

description: Improving the quality of life of populations is one of the priorities of rural development policies. Based on the capability approach, the aim is to realise a Quality of Life (QoL) index measuring territorial disparities. The QoL index, aggregated by a non-compensatory method, is compared with rural and inland areas of the study area, Basilicata region. The analysis shows a clear relationship between features of QoL and rurality/peripherality degree and a global QoL below the regional average for 61% of municipalities. In these areas, as expected, the high level of environmental protection is offset by lower socio-economic opportunities but, the possibility to evaluate them through an index over time can help policymakers to address rural policies and evaluate their effects.
