The logistics industry plays a greater role in the sustainable development of regional economies. The development of the logistics industry between regions is not independent, and there is a spatial correlation due to the existence of spatial spillover effect or spatial expansion among regions. This paper uses the method of entropy weight to evaluate the development level of the logistics industry in 31 provinces in China. On this basis, Moran’s index (Moran’s I), Moran’s I scatter plot, and local indicators of spatial association (LISA) agglomeration plot are used to analyze the overall and local spatial agglomeration characteristics of the logistics industry. Four main factors affecting the spatial relationship of the logistics industry are analyzed by choosing the fixed effect of the spatial error model. We find that: (i) There is spatial agglomeration effect in the development level of the logistics industry from the overall perspective; (ii) regional differentiation of the spatial agglomeration effect of logistics industry development level is obvious from the local perspective; and (iii) the influence of human resource factors on the spatial relationship of logistics development level is declining.

Spatial autocorrelation is a spatial analysis to determine the relationship pattern or correlation among some locations (observation). On the poverty case of East Java, this method will provide important information for analyze the relationship of poverty characteristics in each district or cities. Therefore, in this research performed spatial autocorrelation analysis on the data of East Java’s poverty. The method used is moran's I test and Local Indicator of Spatial Autocorrelation (LISA). The analysis showed that by the moran's I test, there is spatial autocorrelation found in the percentage of poor people amount in East Java, both in 2006 and 2007. While by LISA, obtained the conclusion that there is a significant grouping of district or cities.

Resumen: el objetivo es identificar un patrón de aglomeración en la división espacial del empleo en el sector servicios entre los municipios de la región centro de México. Con el método de la econometría espacial, se estimó un modelo de error espacial para el sector terciario. Según los resultados, la elasticidad ingreso del empleo es baja, el peso de las unidades económicas es importante y hay poca sensibilidad al incremento en las remuneraciones. A pesar de que el análisis exploratorio, a partir de Índice de Moran, sugiere efectos de autocorrelación espacial del empleo en la región de estudio, esto no se puede confirmar con suficiente robustez a partir de los resultados de la estimación de un modelo de error espacial. Aunque esta técnica no es novedosa, en México hay pocos trabajos aplicados al empleo en el sector terciario. El parámetro autorregresivo espacial del término de error l aporta evidencia de que existe una asociación espacial local del empleo, más que una global. Se concluye que en el sector terciario, la vecindad espacial entre los municipios de mayor dinamismo ha generado más crecimiento y aglomeración, que en el resto de ellos.Palabras clave: división espacial del empleo; sector terciario de México; autocorrelación espacial (I de Moran); análisis económico espacial; modelo de error espacial; región centro de México.Employment in the tertiary sector. A spatial estimation for municipalities in Mexico’s central region, 1999-2009Abstract: the aim is to identify an agglomeration pattern in the services sector’s spatial division of employment among municipalities in Mexico’s central region. By using the method of spatial econometrics, a spatial error model was estimated for the tertiary sector. According to results, the income elasticity of employment is low, the weight of economic unities is significant and there is little sensitivity to an increase in wages. Although the exploratory analysis, based on Moran’s I, suggests effects of spatial autocorrelation of employment in the region studied, this cannot be confirmed with enough certainty from the results of the estimation of a spatial error model. Despite this estimation technique is not new, in Mexico there are few studies dealing with employment in the tertiary sector. The spatial autoregressive parameter of the error term provides evidence that there is a local rather than global spatial association of employment. It therefore follows that in the tertiary sector spatial vicinity among the most dynamic municipalities has generated more growth and agglomeration than in the rest of them.Key words: spatial division of labor; Mexico’s tertiary sector; spatial autocorrelation (Moran’s I); spatial economic analysis; spatial error model; Mexico’s central region.

The distribution of Hg in the vicinity of roads is probably not exclusively dependent on car emissions, but also on the presence of other point or diffuse sources of Hg emissions located from metres to several km away. The source of mercury in urbanised areas is pollution derived from the burning of fuels and industrial and transport waste, while in agricultural areas, it is constituent in mineral fertilisers and crop protection products. The research objective was to evaluate the content and spatial distribution of mercury in arable soils adjacent to the A1 motorway in Poland. The research material consisted of 40 soil samples taken from 20 test points on four transects at distances of 5, 10, 25 and 50 m from a noise barrier and in the direction of an arable field, and 10 m from the noise barrier in the direction of the motorway. Total mercury content was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry using an AMA 254 analyser. The spatial relationship between adjacent observations of variables was assessed using Moran’s I overall autocorrelation coefficient. Probability maps of mercury distribution in the field and pollution indicators were elaborated in ArcGIS 10.4.1. using Inverse Distance Weighted interpolation. Analysis of the spatial correlation of Moran’s I showed a lack of spatial dependence between tested points, which may evidence that the motorway does not affect mercury contents in the soil. The elevated mercury content at a single test point may indicate a random event unrelated to the motorway’s operation.

The aim of this paper is to conduct a spatial correlation study of virus transmission in the Hubei province, China. The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases released by the National Health and Construction Commission, the traffic flow data provided by Baidu migration, and the current situation of Wuhan intercity traffic were collected. The Moran’s I test shows that there is a positive spatial correlation between the 17 cities in the Hubei province. The result of Moran’s I test also shows that four different policies to restrict inter-city traffic can be issued for the four types of cities. The ordinary least squares regression, spatial lag model, spatial error model, and spatial lag error model were built. Based on the analysis of the spatial lag error model, whose goodness of fit is the highest among the four models, it can be concluded that the speed of COVID-19 spread within a certain region is not only related to the current infection itself but also associated with the scale of the infection in the surrounding area. Thus, the spill-over effect of the COVID-19 is also presented. This paper bridges inter-city traffic and spatial economics, provides a theoretical contribution, and verifies the necessity of a lockdown from an empirical point of view.

Abstract Background Despite a significant increase in the skilled birth assisted (SBA) deliveries in India, there are huge gaps in availing maternity care services across social gradients - particularly across states and regions. Therefore, this study applies the spatial-regression model to examine the spatial distribution of SBA across districts of India. Furthermore, the study tries to understand the spatially associated population characteristics that influence the low coverage of SBA across districts of India and its regions. Methods The study used national representative cross-sectional survey data obtained from the fourth round of National Family Health Survey, conducted in 2015-16. The effective sample size was 259,469 for the analysis. Moran’s I statistics and bivariate Local Indicator for Spatial Association maps were used to understand spatial dependence and clustering of deliveries conducted by SBA coverage in districts of India. Ordinary least square, spatial lag and spatial error models were used to examine the correlates of deliveries conducted by SBA. Results Moran’s I value for SBA among women was 0.54, which represents a high spatial auto-correlation of deliveries conducted by SBA over 640 districts of India. There were 145 hotspots for deliveries conducted by SBA among women in India, which includes almost the entire southern part of India. The spatial error model revealed that with a 10% increase in exposure to mass media in a particular district, the deliveries conducted by SBA increased significantly by 2.5%. Interestingly, also with the 10% increase in the four or more antenatal care (ANC) in a particular district, the deliveries conducted by SBA increased significantly by 2.5%. Again, if there was a 10% increase of women with first birth order in a particular district, then the deliveries conducted by SBA significantly increased by 6.1%. If the district experienced an increase of 10% household as female-headed, then the deliveries conducted by SBA significantly increased by 1.4%. Conclusion The present study highlights the important role of ANC visits, mass media exposure, education, female household headship that augment the use of an SBA for delivery. Attention should be given in promoting regular ANC visits and strengthening women’s education.

Abstract Objective: Cardio-vascular Diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of death and disease burden across the world, and the burden is only expected to increase as the population ages. The objective of this paper is to explore the patterns of CVD risk factors among women in the late reproductive ages (35-49 years) across 640 districts in India, and investigate the association between area-level socioeconomic factors and CVD risk patterns., using a nationally representative sample of 239,729 women aged 35–49 years from all 36 States/UTs under NFHS-4 (2015–16). Methods: Age-standardized prevalence of CVDs have been calculated, along with 95% CI among women in their late reproductive ages (35–49 years) in India. The spatial dependence and clustering of CVD burden has been examined by Moran's I indices, bivariate Local Indicator of Spatial Autocorrelation (LISA) cluster and significance maps. Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression has been employed with CVD prevalence as the outcome variable. To consider for spatial dependence, Spatial Autoregressive (SAR) models have been fitted to the data. Diagnostic tests for spatial dependence have also been carried out to identify the best fit model. Results: Higher values of Moran's I imply high spatial autocorrelation in CVD among districts of India. Smoking, alcohol consumption, hailing from a Scheduled Caste background, more than 10 years of schooling, as well as urban places of residence appeared as significant correlates of CVD prevalence in the country. The spatial error model and the spatial lag model are a marked improvement over the OLS model; among the two, the spatial error model emerging to be the most improved of the lot. Conclusions: A broader course of policy action relating to social determinants can be a particularly effective way of CVD risk addressal. Social policy interventions related to health like reduction in inequalities in factors like education, poverty, unemployment, access to health-promoting physical or built-environments are crucial in tackling the long-term effects of CVD inequalities between geographical areas.

Abstrak. Penduduk Sulawesi Selatan pada kelompok pengeluaran terendah menunjukkan bahwa banyak dari mereka mengalami putus sekolah. Salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi angka putus sekolah yaitu lokasi antar wilayah. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengaplikasikan regresi spasial untuk memodelkan angka putus sekolah di Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan. Pengujian dependensi spasial dan pemilihan model regresi spasial dilakukan menggunakan uji Moran’s I dan Langrange Multiplier (LM). Dari hasil penelitian, kasus putus sekolah untuk tingkat SMP tidak memiliki dependensi spasial baik dalam lag maupun error dan berdasarkan model regresi klasiknya diperoleh variabel prediktor yang signifikan mempengaruhi variabel respon adalah jumlah penduduk miskin . Sedangkan untuk kasus angka putus sekolah tingkat SMA, diperoleh dependensi spasial dalam error sehingga model regresi spasial yang digunakan adalah Spatial Error Model (SEM) dan matriks pembobotnya adalah queen contiguity. Matriks pembobot tersebut menggambarkan ukuran kedekatan antar wilayah pengamatan. Hasil analisis spasial menunjukkan bahwa variabel prediktor yang signifikan mempengaruhi variabel respon adalah jumlah penduduk miskin  dan kepadatan penduduk , dengan nilai  89,78% dan AIC =  430,604.Kata Kunci: Langrange Multiplier, Moran’s I, Putus Sekolah, Regresi Spasial, Spatial Error Model (SEM).  Abstract. The population of South Sulawesi in the lowest expenditure group shows that many of them have dropped out of school. One of the factors that influence the drop out rate is location between regions.

Mast cells in the dura mater of the rat may play a role in cerebral pathologies including neurogenic inflammation (vasodilation; plasma extravasation) and headache pain . As has been suggested for other tissues, dural mast cells may exhibit a close spatial relationship to nerves. There has been no detailed ultrastructural description of mast cells in this tissue; therefore, the goals of this study were to provide this analysis and to determine the spatial relationship of mast cells to nerves and other components of the dura mater in the rat.Four adult anesthetized male Wistar rats (290-400 g) were fixed by perfusion through the heart with 2% glutaraldehyde and 2.8% paraformaldehyde in a potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) for 30 min. The head of each rat was removed and stored in fixative for a minimum of 24 h at which time the dural coverings were removed and dissected into samples that included the middle meningeal vasculature. Samples were routinely processed and flat embedded in LX 112. Thick (1 um) sections from a minimum of 3 blocks per rat were stained with toluidine blue (0.5% aqueous).
