Correlação Entre Parâmetros Objetivos Do Sono Estimados Por Por Dispositivo Vestível E Medidas Antropométicas Em Pessoas Idosas
Introdução: O envelhecimento está associado a mudanças no padrão do sono e na composição corporal, que impactam à saúde e à qualidade de vida, por estarem relacionadas a diversas doenças, declínio funcional e fragilidade. Estudos têm proposto a correlação entre essas variáveis. No entanto, esses estudos utilizaram questionários de sono subjetivos. Objetivou-se analisar a associação entre parâmetros objetivos do sono estimados por meio de disposit…
Associação Entre Medidas De Classificação Do Nível De Atividade Física Em Idosos Comunitários Obtidas Por Um Questionário E Por Um Algortimo Desenvolvido Através De Sensores De Smartwachtes
o uso de tecnologias vestíveis para detecção de movimento permite quantificar objetivamente o nível de atividade física em idosos com uma maior precisão, diminuindo viéses de registro ou de memória observados em questionários. Objetivo: verificar a presença de associações e concordância entre as medidas de classificação do nível de atividade física em idosos comunitários obtidas pelo Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (IPAQ) e por um …
Are cities taking action against urban overheating? Insights from over 7,500 local climate actions
Mitigating urban overheating is vital to create livable urban futures. Research on urban heat mitigation is plentiful, while knowledge about the actual measures local governments are implementing is limited. This study examines 7,500+ heat mitigation actions by 2,500+ cities under two flagship programs of the European Commission. The analysis reveals that cities’ strategies pivot around green- and water-based technologies (66% of the actions) whi…
A comparative analysis to depict underlying attributes that might determine successful implementation of local adaptation plans
Current trends in climate change indicate that the impact on the most vulnerable systems will increase. Urban areas, which concentrate population, economic activity and infrastructures, are sometimes at high-risk locations. Yet they are to be considered as vulnerable systems in need of harmonized structures supporting their efforts towards mitigating climate effects and/or adapting their territories to them. One current structure is the Covenant …
An institutional analysis to address climate change adaptation in Tenerife (Canary Islands)
Heat waves and Saharan dust outbreaks have been acquiring more frequency and intensity in the Canary Islands during the last decades. Both climatic hazards are known to produce impacts on human health such as mortality (due to heat waves) and morbidity (due to dusty weather). This work addresses possible climate adaptation policies in Tenerife assuming the increasing impact of heat waves and Saharan dust outbreaks in the island under a climate ch…
Resilient futures of a small island
Adaptation to climate change has been considered to be crucial to current societies, especially for small islands. In this paper the case of Tenerife (in the Canary Islands) is analysed. Tenerife is a small island located northwest of the African continent, in the Atlantic Ocean. Tenerife presents a high vulnerability to heatwaves and Saharan dust events as a consequence of its closeness to the Saharan desert. In fact, increasing frequency of hea…
Mapping global patterns of drought risk
A global map of drought risk has been elaborated at the sub-national administrative level. The motivation for this study is the observation that little research and no concerted efforts have been made at the global level to provide a consistent and equitable drought risk management framework for multiple regions, population groups and economic sectors. Drought risk is assessed for the period 2000-2014 and is based on the product of three independ…
Assessment of drought damages and their uncertainties in Europe
Drought is a natural hazard triggered by a lack of precipitation that can last for several months or years. Droughts can affect a wide range of socio-economic sectors while the related direct and indirect impacts are often difficult to quantify. In this context, drought damage refers to the total or partial destruction of physical assets in the affected area. The main constraint in constructing a robust relationship between the severity of drough…
