Aedes aegypti in the city of Córdoba: spatial distribution and habitat suitability drivers
No full textBackground: According to the World Health Organization, dengue is among the top ten global health threats. The invasion of new sites by Aedes aegypti and their permanence depends on environmental characteristics of the site. Therefore, the objective was to understand the environmental characteristics that affect Ae. aegypti distribution in Córdoba city, Argentina. Methods: This evaluation was carried out through species distribution models, using maximum entropy modeling technique, incorporating a set of environmental variables known to influence the presence and suitability of Ae. aegypti habitats. The factors evaluated included both meteorological variables, such as minimum and maximum temperature and average precipitation, land cover characteristics like vegetation index and built-up index, and population count. Temperature and precipitation conditions constrain the development and survival of the vector. Vegetation can act as a temperature regulator and provide resting sites, while populated and built-up areas relate to the availability of breeding sites and blood sources. Results: The results indicate that Ae. aegypti habitat suitability is determined by human population count (permutation importance: 89 in 2015, 80.9 in 2017), the amount of built-up areas (61.7, 80.8), vegetation greenness (70.7, 55.9), and minimum temperature (42.2, 92.6). Human population manifested a positive effect on the habitat suitability as well as minimum temperature, while vegetation and the amount of built-up areas showed a quadratic relationship. Discussion: In this study, we incorporate temperature and precipitation as spatial variables, which were not considered in similar studies in Córdoba City. Our study\u27s results highlight that although demographic and land cover variables prevailed in importance, meteorological variables are also good predictors of spatial distribution of Ae. aegypti at the local scale. Conclusions: The importance of generating maps and/or models to identify the distribution of mosquito habitats lies in the fact that they can show vulnerable areas and guide stakeholders efforts on public health prevention. Also, they can direct actions to vector control and, consequently, the pathogens they transmit. © 202
Foreign–native wage gap and tasks: Evidence from the Japanese labor market
No full textThis paper provides novel empirical evidence on the foreign–native wage gap in the Japanese labor market, examining the role of tasks. By leveraging government micro-level data and the Japanese version of O*NET, we construct task scores à la Acemoglu and Autor (2011) at a detailed occupational level. We then estimate the foreign–native wage gap in the spirit of Mincer (1974). Unconditionally, foreign workers earn 27% less than native workers; 82% of this gap is explained by observable characteristics. Tasks account for roughly one-third of the remaining unexplained gap, suggesting that foreign workers are assigned to lower-wage tasks, typically manual and routine tasks. © 2025 Elsevier B.V
The Underestimation of Transgender Women’s Vulnerability to Workplace Sexual Harassment
No full textDespite experiencing sexual harassment more frequently and more severely than cisgender women, transgender women survivors’/victims’ experiences of workplace sexual harassment are often omitted or ignored. Drawing from theorizing on victim prototypes and perceptions of sexual harassment, we show across six studies (total N = 2,022) that people incorrectly believe that transgender women are less likely to experience workplace sexual harassment compared to cisgender women. This effect is stronger among individuals who deny that transgender women are, in fact, women. We also show that people perceive harassment claims from transgender women who experience unwanted advances to be less credible than identical claims from cisgender women. Perceptions that transgender women are unlikely and non-credible victims of sexual harassment have important implications for understanding the erasure and neglect of transgender women survivors and the obstruction of transgender women’s civil rights. © 2025 by the Society for Personality and Social Psychology, In
