Targeting subgroups, such as those with chronic conditions, might be more feasible and beneficial, as they were experiencing higher level of fragmentation yet more vulnerable to adverse effects of fragmented care.
The levels of fragmentation were distributed equally (50 fragmented stimuli and 25 scrambled stimuli for each level of fragmentation), and all stimuli were fully randomized in sequence.
Compared to areas with a lowly fragmented land structure, those with a high and medium level of fragmentation were significantly associated with an increase in CCHF incidence (IRR: 1.558; and IRR: 1.402, respectively).
This may explain why, even within the same sample, human DNA within dental calculus exhibits a higher level of fragmentation than DNA derived from oral microbes64.
The results show that the entire built-up area in Shunde displays a high level of fragmentation.
In situ tool production accounts for the high level of fragmentation of cercopithecid bones in all levels of site occupation, but most notably in the Late Pleistocene layers (Supplementary Note 2).
A high level of fragmentation of farmland ownership is an important underlying cause of land degradation and, at the same time, an obstacle to sustainable land management.
In this report, Romania is mentioned as an interesting case, and it is hypothesized that the true level of fragmentation was underestimated.
A high level of fragmentation of farms exists in many parts of Poland, which leads to inefficiency in farm management and a range of logistical problems.
A number of software packages are available and all of them include a spatial cost or constraint component in their prioritisation algorithms, which allow the user to determine the level of fragmentation of the final PA system.
