    Abstract Land managers must find a compromise between rapidly changing landscapes and biodiversity conservation through ecological networks. Estimating ecological networks is a key approach to enhance or maintain functional connectivity by identifying the nodes and links of a graph, which represent habitats and their corresponding functional corridors, respectively. To understand the current state of biodiversity, it is necessary to consider dynamic landscape connectivity while relying on relevant land cover maps. Although a current land cover map is relatively easy to produce using existing data, this is challenging for past landscapes. Here we investigated the impact of changes in landscape connectivity in an urban landscape at a fine scale on the habitat availability of two bird species: the tree pipit Anthus trivialis and the short-toed treecreeper Certhia brachydactyla. These species, exhibiting different niche ecologies, have shown contrasting population trends at a medium-term scale. The occurrences of C. brachydactyla were better correlated with resistance values that maximise the use of corridors, whereas the occurrences of A. trivialis better fitted with intermediate resistance values. The statistical approach indirectly highlighted relevant information about the ecology the capacity of both species to use urban habitats. Landscape connectivity increased for both species over the 24-year study period and may have implications for local abundances, which could explain, at the national scale, the increase in populations of C. brachydactyla, but not the decrease in populations of A. trivialis. Thus, more attention must be paid on rural habitats and their associated species that are more impacted by human activities, but efforts could also be achieved in urban areas especially for highly corridor-dependent species. Studying dynamic landscape connectivity at a fine scale is essential for estimating past and future land cover changes and their associated impacts on ecological networks, to better reconcile human and biodiversity concerns in land management.

    Abstract In the literature of algorithms, the specific computation model is often not explicit as it is assumed that the model of computation is the RAM (Random Access Machine) model. However, the RAM model itself is ill-founded in the literature, with disparate definitions and no unified results. The ambition of this paper is to found the RAM model from scratch by exhibiting a RAM model that enjoys interesting algorithmic properties and the robustness of its complexity classes, notably LIN, the class of linear-time computable problems, or the now well-known CONST-DELAY-lin class of enumeration problems computable with constant delay after linear-time preprocessing, The computation model that we define is a RAM whose contents and addresses of registers are $O(N)$, where $N$ is the size (number of registers) of the input, and where the time cost of each instruction is 1 (unit cost criterion). The key to the foundation of our RAM model will be to prove that even if addition is the only primitive operation, such a RAM can still compute all the basic arithmetic operations in constant time after a linear-time preprocessing. Moreover, while the RAM handles only $O(N)$ integers in each register, we will show that our RAM can handle $O(N^d)$ integers, for any fixed d, by storing them on $O(d)$ registers and we will have surprising algorithms that computes many operations acting on these "polynomial" integers -- addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponential, integer logarithm, integer square root (or $c$-th root, for any integer $c$), bitwise logical operations, and, more generally, any operation computable in linear time on a cellular automaton -- in constant time after a linear-time preprocessing.

    Abstract The land cover data presented here is a reconstruction of the past landscape (1993) at Very High Resolution (VHR) for the city of Poitiers, France. This reconstruction is based on multiple sources of images and data. We combined the strengths of both mono-temporal and multi-temporal classifications. Orthophotos were created at a spatial resolution of 0.5 m using aerial raw images from the French National Geographic Institute (IGN), taken during two aerial missions in July and August 1993. These orthophotos were merged at a spatial resolution of 5 m to conduct a first object-based classification using Landsat-5 TM images. The goal was to identify croplands, grasslands, coniferous and deciduous forests, urban areas, water bodies, and shadows. This learning-based classification employed a dataset consisting of 1371 polygons and demonstrated strong classification performances, achieving an overall accuracy of 86.31% and a kappa index of 0.832. On the other hand, mono-temporal classifications at a 0.5 m spatial resolution were carried out on each orthophoto to extract trees and herbaceous vegetation, especially in urban contexts. As mono-temporal classifications contained less information, we used a larger number of polygons for the learning step: 3849 and 5173 polygons for the northern and southern classifications, respectively. The segmentation step performed better in urban areas compared to rural areas. Consequently, the performance of classifications was evaluated separately for both contexts. Urban areas exhibited excellent performances, achieving kappa indices of 0.897 and 0.881 for the northern and southern classifications, respectively, whereas only tree vegetation was accurately detected in rural areas. To compensate for the lack of information such as buildings, railways, or roads, we modified the BD Topo

    Abstract Many studies have demonstrated that prisons are hotspots of tuberculosis disease and transmission. Despite this, it remains unclear which interventions are most effective at controlling tuberculosis in prisons. The objective was to determine the study designs used to investigate tuberculosis control in prisons, and the efficacy of interventions undertaken. This systematic review included published studies which had the aim of reducing TB incidence or prevalence, or increasing the number of people screened for active pulmonary tuberculosis in incarcerated populations. 2,429 records were identified, 178 full-text articles were screened, and 17 studies included. The majority of reports were before/after or prospective non-comparative studies. The median study duration was 23 months (range 5-144). The most common intervention was the introduction of active case finding (10/17 studies) but the timing and methods varied. Comparable pre- and post intervention outcome values were infrequently reported; therefore, it was not possible to quantify the efficacy of interventions. Data from studies of tuberculosis control in prisons is limited by a lack of: controlled interventions, reporting of pre-intervention methods, and comparable pre- and post-intervention outcomes. Prospective comparative trials of adequate duration to determine trends in incidence are necessary to understand which interventions are effective in prisons.
