Physical function is one of the most important constructs assessed in health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and it could be very useful to assess movement ability from the perspective of the patient. The objective of this study was to compare the c...
Given downward trends in fertility and mortality, population dynamics –and thus the
estimation of spatially-explicit population dynamics and gridded population and derivative
products– are increasingly sensitive to mobility processes and th...
Digitalization and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in migration and mobility have incrementally expanded over recent years. Iterative approaches to AI deployment experienced a surge during 2020 and into 2021, largely due to COVID-19 forcing...
