1. 6. Improved health economic assessments of sustainable transport solutions in urban environments

   Författare :Hedi Katre Kriit; Johan Nilsson Sommar; Joacim Rocklöv; Martin Andersson; Joel Schwartz; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; active commuting; electric vehicles; air pollution; particle matter; physical activity; morbidity; mortality; health economic evaluation; epidemiologi; Epidemiology; Public health; folkhälsa; sustainable development; hållbar utveckling;

   Sammanfattning : Introduction: Part of the European Strategy to achieve climate neutrality in the transport sector is to increase the proportion of electric vehicles (EVs) and active commuting. Health co-benefits from reduced air pollution and increased active commuting are assumed to follow; however, all dimensions of expected health effects are not quantified nor valued monetarily.

3. 7. Climate Change, Dengue and Aedes Mosquitoes : Past Trends and Future Scenarios

   Författare :Jing Liu-Helmersson; Joacim Rocklöv; Åke Brännström; Eduardo Massad; Richard Paul; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dengue; mathematical modelling; vectorial capacity; DTR; Aedes aegypti; Aedes albopictus; climate change; Europe; vector invasion; abundance; dengue; matematisk modellering; vektorkapacitet; DTR; Aedes aegypti; Aedes albopictus; klimatförändring; Europa; vektor invasion; epidemiologi; Epidemiology;

   Sammanfattning : Background Climate change, global travel and trade have facilitated the spread of Aedes mosquitoes and have consequently enabled the diseases they transmit (dengue fever, Chikungunya, Zika and yellow fever) to emerge and re-emerge in uninfected areas. Large dengue outbreaks occurred in Athens in 1927 and in Portuguese island, Madeira in 2012, but there are almost no recent reports of Aedes aegypti, the principal vector, in Europe. LÄS MER

4. 8. The Influence of Climate and Public Health Interventions on Aedes Vectors and Dengue in Sri Lanka

   Författare :Prasad Liyanage; Joacim Rocklöv; Yesim Tozan; Hasitha Tissera; Flemming Konradsen; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Dengue; weather; climate; El Niño; Aedes vector indices; human mobility; vector control; cost-effectiveness analysis; Sri Lanka; Kalutara.;

   Sammanfattning : Introduction: Dengue, a viral infection transmitted by Aedes mosquitos, flourishes in urban tropical environments by a complex process. Interactions among susceptible humans, dengue viruses, and Aedes mosquitoes determine dengue transmission patterns, and these interactions are modified by driving factors related to weather, the environment, and human behaviour, including mobility.

5. 9. Air pollution in Nairobi slums : sources, levels and lay perceptions

   Författare :Kanyiva Muindi; Nawi Ng; Joacim Rocklöv; Elizabeth Kimani-Murage; Marie Thynell; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Air pollution; perceptions; slums; health impacts; Nairobi; Epidemiology; epidemiologi; folkhälsa; Public health;

   Sammanfattning : BackgroundAir quality in Africa has remained a relatively under-researched field. Most of the African population is dependent on biomass for cooking and heating, with most of the combustion happening in low efficiency stoves in unvented kitchens. LÄS MER

7. 10. On temperature-related mortality in an elderly population and susceptible groups

   Författare :Daniel Oudin Åström; Joacim Rocklöv; Paul Wilkinson; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Heat-related mortality; attribution; elderly; susceptible groups; Occupational and Environmental Medicine; arbets- och miljömedicin;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Climate change has increased the frequency, intensity, duration, and spatial extent of some extreme weather events, for instance heat waves. Societies today are experiencing an ongoing change in the population structure yielding an increasing proportion elderly due to increased longevity, resulting in higher prevalence of chronic and degenerative diseases.
