Time series analysis of environmental factors and their association with emergency visits for asthma exacerbations in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia
Background: The burden of respiratory conditions, especially asthma, is likely to increase with urbanisation and pollution unless effectively managed. Petaling Jaya, a metropolitan area, faced heightened risk due to worsening outdoor air pollution, which can trigger asthma exacerbations. We aimed to examine the relationships between environmental factors and emergency visits for asthma exacerbations. Methods: ) exposure on these visits. Results: …
Urban heat mitigation by green and blue infrastructure
The combination of urbanization and global warming leads to urban overheating and compounds the frequency and intensity of extreme heat events due to climate change. Yet, the risk of urban overheating can be mitigated by urban green-blue-grey infrastructure (GBGI), such as parks, wetlands, and engineered greening, which have the potential to effectively reduce summer air temperatures. Despite many reviews, the evidence bases on quantified GBGI co…
Outdoor thermal comfort and somatic symptoms among students in a tropical city
Rapid urbanization has induced the urban heat island phenomenon which threatens the urban environment and the well-being of communities within it. The prevalence of physical and mental problems associated with hot weather has shown an upward trend recently. However, literature revealed a scarcity of urban health statistics, especially in hot-humid tropical cities. Thus, through this study, we aim to: (1) assess the outdoor thermal comfort of part…
Empirical study on temporal variations of canopy-level Urban Heat Island effect in the tropical city of Greater Kuala Lumpur
Holistic recommendations for future outdoor thermal comfort assessment in tropical Southeast Asia
Determinants of shisha use among secondary school students in Sudan
The prevalence of those who had ever smoked shisha is among the lowest in Middle East region; therefore, regular surveillance system is needed. A well-structured peer based comprehensive tobacco control programmes that are supported by strict and rigorous anti-tobacco regulations which control both commercial and social resources of tobacco are needed to contain this issue among adolescents
A preliminary insight into the environmental awareness of community in the vicinity of batik manufacturing units in Kelantan, Malaysia
A qualitative exploration on the awareness and knowledge of stakeholders towards Urban Heat Island phenomenon in Greater Kuala Lumpur
A qualitative study to explore understanding and perception of sexual abuse among undergraduate students of different ethnicities
To explore university students' understanding on sexual abuse and their perceptions on sexual abuse victims. A total of 14 focus group discussions were conducted and stratified into three different ethnic groups (Malay, Chinese and Indian). Participants were female undergraduate students (n = 75) from a public university in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Findings revealed ethnic variations in the understanding of sexual abuse. Although many considered s…
Urban heat island experience, control measures and health impact
The Self-Regulation Model of Illness
Perceptions about illnesses may influence self-care and preventive health behaviours. Illness perceptions of the Zika virus (ZIKV) infection were investigated under the framework of the Self-Regulation Model of Illness. Illness perception differences between ZIKV and dengue fever were also examined. Lastly, associations between illness perceptions of ZIKV with mosquito prevention practices were studied. Samples were drawn from landline telephone …
Shisha Smoking Practices, Use Reasons, Attitudes, Health Effects and Intentions to Quit among Shisha Smokers in Malaysia
Despite its popularity, shisha smoking practices, reasons for its use, attitudes, detrimental health effects and intention to quit among shisha users in Malaysia have never been investigated. A total of 503 shisha users responded to a cross-sectional study conducted between July 2015 and March 2016. The majority of users were young people aged 21-30; a small minority were underage. The reasons for shisha use were its growing popularity as a favou…
