The Association Between Heat Stress and Child Stunting, Wasting, and Underweight Under Varying Vegetation Covers in Ethiopia. [PDF]
Matern Child NutrABSTRACT Climate change has significantly contributed to rising malnutrition rates, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries. However, evidence linking heat stress to child nutritional status remains limited. This study estimated the association between heat stress exposure and severe stunting, wasting and underweight among rural children ...

Mitigation of Urban Heat Risks via Shading Stations: An Experimental Comparison of Fabric and Photovoltaic Shading. [PDF]
Glob ChallPV shading relies primarily on solid panels to block direct solar radiation. As the transmittance of PV modules is close to zero, they effectively and consistently attenuate downward short‐wave radiation. With a surface reflectance of approximately 0.12, a portion of the short‐wave solar radiation is reflected, while the remaining energy is absorbed ...

The stimuli of thermal environment defined according to UTCI in Poland
Geographia Polonica, 2021 The assessment of thermal stress stimuli in Poland was based on the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI). Daily values of UTCI at 24 stations selected to represent the whole area of Poland at 12:00 UTC were calculated over the period 1951-2018. Various
