Remote sensing of night light emissions in the visible band offers a unique opportunity to
directly observe human activity from space. This has allowed a host of applications including …

The nighttime is undergoing unprecedented change across much of the world, with natural
light cycles altered by the introduction of artificial light emissions. Here we review the extent …

A central aim of the “lighting revolution”(the transition to solid-state lighting technology) is
decreased energy consumption. This could be undermined by a rebound effect of increased …

Interrupted time series analysis differs from most other intervention study designs in that it
involves a before-after comparison within a single population, rather than a comparison with …

Artificial lights raise night sky luminance, creating the most visible effect of light pollution—
artificial skyglow. Despite the increasing interest among scientists in fields such as ecology …

Nocturnal light pollution can have profound effects on humans and other organisms. Recent
research indicates that nighttime outdoor lighting is increasing rapidly. Evidence from …

The use of artificial lighting to illuminate the night has provided substantial benefits to
humankind. It has also disrupted natural daily, seasonal, and lunar light cycles as …

Interrupted time series (ITS) is a powerful and increasingly popular design for evaluating
public health and health service interventions. The design involves analyzing trends in the …

This article discusses quantitative recommendations for road lighting as given in guidelines
and standards, primarily, the amount of light. The discussion is framed according to the type …

Objectives The aim of the study was to extend a previously published checklist of study
design features to include study designs often used by health systems researchers and …
