SPATIO-TEMPORAL ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTS OF URBAN GROWTH ON URBAN HEAT ISLAND: CASE OF KONYA, TURKIYE [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2023 The increase in impermeable surfaces within the urban areas contributes to local and regional-scale climate changes. This phenomenon, called "Urban Heat Island," is observed as the temperature in urban areas is higher than rural areas and natural ...

Evaluation of the Effect of Urban Redevelopment on Surface Urban Heat Islands [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2019 Climate change is a global challenge with multiple consequences. One of its impacts is the increase in heatwave frequency and intensity. The risk is higher for populations living in urban areas, where the highest temperatures are generally identified, due to the urban heat island effect.

Health disparities in chronic liver disease
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract The syndemic of hazardous alcohol consumption, opioid use, and obesity has led to important changes in liver disease epidemiology that have exacerbated health disparities. Health disparities occur when plausibly avoidable health differences are experienced by socially disadvantaged populations.
