Golden Hour Divide: Trauma Care Accessibility and Resource Vulnerability in Sri Lanka

Environmental Drivers of Respiratory Disease: A District Level Analysis

arXiv:2607. 04416v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sri Lanka has experienced a decade of progressive forest degradation and rising atmospheric pollution, yet district-level respiratory admissions have paradoxically declined, pointing to the confounding role of healthcare access.

Hierarchical Spatio-Temporal Transformer for Coherent Emergency Department Forecasting

arXiv:2607. 27106v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Emergency Departments (EDs) are critical access points in healthcare systems, yet they face persistent pressure from unpredictable patient demand, seasonal surges, and non-urgent visits.

Spatial Heterogeneity-Aware Multi-Hazard Susceptibility and Risk Mapping at Regional Scale

arXiv:2608. 08321v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Floods and landslides often co-occur, but their relationships with environmental controls vary spatially.

Communication-efficient distributed hazard difference estimation for heterogeneous multi-site survival data

arXiv:2601. 14609v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multi-site collaboration can power survival models that no single hospital could fit alone, but privacy rules and protected computing environments block patient-level data sharing and the persistent server connections required by iterative federated methods.

Global Ease of Living Index: a machine learning framework for longitudinal analysis of major economies

arXiv:2502. 06866v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The drastic changes in the global economy, geopolitical conditions, and disruptions such as the COVID-19 pandemic have impacted the cost of living and quality of life.

How Environment and Urbanization Shape Bird Diversity in Sri Lanka

arXiv:2607. 00582v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This study presents a comprehensive analysis of bird diversity across Sri Lanka by integrating spatial, temporal, and environmental data.

Obshazard-bench: Benchmarking Multimodal Foundation Models for Real-Time Disaster Intelligence from Raw Earth Observation Streams

arXiv:2608. 00012v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are increasingly used to interpret Earth observation data, yet their capability to support real-world disaster emergency response remains insufficiently evaluated.

Differentiating Through Dual Prices: End-to-End Policy Learning Under Capacity Constraints

arXiv:2608. 04669v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many social services assign scarce resources, such as housing assistance or hospital interventions, to people who arrive one at a time: each arrival must receive a decision immediately, and the long-run usage of every resource must stay within its capacity.

Who Became Financially Vulnerable After COVID-19? A Population-Level Machine Learning Analysis Using MEPS Data

arXiv:2607. 15446v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The cost of healthcare remains a concern in the United States and may have been influenced by disruptions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Proactive Inpatient Bed Requests for Emergency Department Admissions

arXiv:2607. 15432v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Emergency department (ED) boarding occurs when admitted patients remain in the ED while awaiting inpatient beds.

Geographically Weighted Surrogate Models for Rapid Small-Area Chronic Disease Estimation

arXiv:2607. 28655v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Small-area estimation (SAE) enables researchers and policymakers to identify spatial disparities in health outcomes, but survey-based SAE products carry an inherent lag.
