The Cancer Transition in Japan since 1951
The overall trend of cancer mortality in Japan has been decreasing since the 1960s (agestandardized death rates for ages 30-69), some 20-30 years earlier than in other industrialized countries. Cancer mortality was heavily influenced by Japanese post-war economic recovery, which led to improved living conditions and better control of some common forms of cancer (stomach, cervical) largely cause...
متن کاملWarmer temperatures reduce the vectorial capacity of malaria mosquitoes
The development rate of parasites and pathogens within vectors typically increases with temperature. Accordingly, transmission intensity is generally assumed to be higher under warmer conditions. However, development is only one component of parasite/pathogen life history and there has been little research exploring the temperature sensitivity of other traits that contribute to transmission int...
متن کاملWarmer ambient temperatures depress liver function in a mammalian herbivore.
Diet selection in mammalian herbivores is thought to be mainly influenced by intrinsic factors such as nutrients and plant secondary compounds, yet extrinsic factors like ambient temperature may also play a role. In particular, warmer ambient temperatures could enhance the toxicity of plant defence compounds through decreased liver metabolism of herbivores. Temperature-dependent toxicity has be...
متن کاملStudents’ Perceived Heat-Health Symptoms Increased with Warmer Classroom Temperatures
Temperatures in Africa are expected to increase by the end of the century. Heat-related health impacts and perceived health symptoms are potentially a problem, especially in public schools with limited resources. Students (n = 252) aged ~14-18 years from eight high schools completed an hourly heat-health symptom log over 5 days. Data loggers measured indoor classroom temperatures. A high propor...
متن کاملSpace-time interpolation of daily air temperatures
We propose a model to describe the mean function as well as the spatio-temporal covariance structure of 15 years of both maximum and minimum daily temperature data from 190 stations throughout the region of Catalonia (Spain), with daily data covering the period 1994-2008. Our aim is threefold: (a) estimation of the long-term trend of maximum and minimum temperatures; (b) assessing the spatial a...
