On the classifications of the solar active regions (ARs); Case study for solar cycles 23 and 24
The declining phase of solar cycle 23 is an important case of study. Many high energetic solar flares occurred in 2003. The occurrence of high energetic solar X-ray flares (X-type) is related to solar cycle’s phases and the state of the active regions ...

Distribution of low-power solar flares by brightness rise time
Using data from the international flare patrol for 1972–2010, we have formed an electronic database for more than 123 thousand solar flares. We determined the mean brightness rise time (flash phase) for flare area classes and importance. We show that the

Properties of Flares-Generated Seismic Waves on the Sun [PDF]
The solar seismic waves excited by solar flares (``sunquakes'') are observed as circular expanding waves on the Sun's surface. The first sunquake was observed for a flare of July 9, 1996, from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) space mission.

Impact of particulate matter exposure on melanoma risk: A multicentre case–control study
Long‐term exposure to higher levels of PM10 and PM2.5 may have a protective effect against melanoma, potentially due to the reduction in ultraviolet radiation. Abstract Background The relationship between particulate matter (PM) exposure and melanoma risk remains largely unexplored.

ABSTRACT The prediction of extreme events in time series is a fundamental problem arising in many financial, scientific, engineering, and other applications. We begin by establishing a general Neyman–Pearson‐type characterization of optimal extreme event predictors in terms of density ratios.

Abstract There are two separate conceptualizations for assessing existential risks: Planetary Boundaries (PBs) and global catastrophic risks (GCRs). While these concepts are similar in principle, their underpinning literatures tend not to engage with each other.

Embracing the politics of transformation: Policy action as “battle‐settlement events”
Abstract Societal transformations for addressing climate change are intensely contested and at risk of resistance and backlash to ambitious policy action. But they are frequently modeled through heuristics such as S‐curves which abstract from such conflicts, assuming increasing returns to scale as a driver of transformations.

The driving mechanism of solar flares and coronal mass ejections is a topic of ongoing debate, apart from the consensus that magnetic reconnection plays a key role during the impulsive process.

Some phenomena that occur in the Sun have consequences on Earth. Among these phenomena, solar flares release large amounts of radiation and energy that impact on Earth's life and technological systems.
