b a c k g r o u n d  & aim: this study aimed  to estimate  and project  the current  and future disability burden of typhoid fever in iran associated with climate and population to provide best policies for climate change adaptation. methods & materials: years lost due to disabilities (ylds) were measured as burden estimation in this study. the temperature was selected as climate variable. futu...

In the ongoing political debate on climate change, global mean temperature change (1Tglob) has become the yardstick by which mitigation costs, impacts from unavoided climate change, and adaptation requirements are discussed. For a scientifically informed discourse along these lines, systematic assessments of climate change impacts as a function of 1Tglob are required. The current availability o...

When the radiation balance of the Earth is perturbed, the global surface temperature will warm and adjust to a new equilibrium state. But by how much? The answer to this seemingly basic but important question turns out to be a tricky one. It is determined by a number termed equilibrium climate sensitivity, the global mean surface warming in response to a doubling of the atmospheric CO2 concentr...

Background & Aims of the Study: To prevent lots of work-related accidents in different industries and workplaces, managers should consider macro-factors such as safety culture and its elements like safety climate as the main subject to reflect attitude toward safety . This study aimed at finding the best work shift group in an Iranian process industry by safety attitude/climate...

Background and purpose: The safety climate refers to employees’ perception of safety which can be affected by job-related stress in the workplace. This study aimed to assess the safety climate and investigate the relationship between job stress factors and safety climate dimensions in a dairy industry. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. The data was collected using two se...

climate is a multivariate system. every change in every climate variable could result in different changes in climate. recently, experts have paid extensive attention to frequency distribution sequence of climate elements. accordingly, many different indices have been defined. precipitation extremes can exhibit the phase space of climate system. a technique that can be used to analyze climate p...

background: it is believed that improved safety culture/climate is a fundamental element to accident prevention. therefore, development a scale to assess safety climate is a step towards accident control. the purpose of this study was to construct a persian safety climate questionnaire. methods: the study took place in tehran and esfahan oil refineries in iran in 2010. an initial questionnaire ...

Green infrastructure serves as a critical no-regret strategy to address climate change mitigation and adaptation in climate action plans. Climate justice refers to the distribution of climate change-induced environmental hazards (e.g., increased frequency and intensity of floods) among socially vulnerable groups. Yet no index has addressed both climate justice and green infrastructure planning ...

Climate change is a major public health threat that is exacerbated by food production. Food items differ substantially in the amount of greenhouse gases their production generates and therefore individuals, if willing, can mitigate climate change through dietary choices. We conducted a population-based cross-sectional study to assess if the understanding of climate change, concern over climate ...
