  • Investigating changes in noise pollution due to the Covid-19 lockdown: The case of Dublin, Ireland

    Open AccessB Basu, Enda Murphy et al.ARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2021

    Noise pollution is considered to be the third most hazardous pollution after air and water pollution by the World Health Organization (WHO). Short as well as long-term exposure to noise pollution has several adverse effects on humans, ranging from psychiatric disorders such as anxiety and depression, hypertension, hormonal dysfunction, and blood pressure rise leading to cardiovascular disease. One of the major sources of noise pollution is road t…

  • A review of hydro-meteorological hazard, vulnerability, and risk assessment frameworks and indicators in the context of nature-based solutions

    Open AccessMohammad Aminur Rahman Shah, Fabrice G Renaud et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Disaster…2020

    Nature-based solutions (NBS) are increasingly being implemented as suitable approaches for reducing vulnerability and risk of social-ecological systems (SES) to hydro-meteorological hazards. Understanding vulnerability and risk of SES is crucial in order to design and implement NBS projects appropriately. A systematic literature review was carried out to examine the suitability of, or gaps in, existing frameworks for vulnerability and risk assess…

  • Examining the association between socio-demographic composition and Covid-19 fatalities in the European region using spatial regression approach

    Open AccessSrikanta Sannigrahi, Francesco Pilla et al.ARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2020

    The socio-demographic factors have a substantial impact on the overall casualties caused by the Coronavirus (COVID-19). In this study, the global and local spatial association between the key socio-demographic variables and COVID-19 cases and deaths in the European regions were analyzed using the spatial regression models. A total of 31 European countries were selected for modelling and subsequent analysis. From the initial 28 socio-demographic v…

  • Investigating the effect of trees on urban quality in Dublin by combining air monitoring with i-Tree Eco model

    Open AccessEmily Riondato, Francesco Pilla et al.ARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2020

    Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is a common air pollutant that represents a significant threat to public health. In Dublin, a major source of PM2.5 is diesel exhaust, brake dust, and rubber tire particles from vehicles. Particulate matter can be deposited onto the surface of vegetation thereby removing it from the atmosphere. The presence of trees can increase the amount of surface area on which deposition can occur, but they can also alter wind …

  • Significance of Different Dietary Habits in Sections of Indian Diabetics

    Open AccessAnalava Mitra, B Basu et al.ARTICLEJournal of Human Ecology2009

    Prevalence of Insulin Resistance syndrome particularly Type 2 diabetes along with dyslipidaemia is increasing at an explosive rate in Indian subcontinent. Exact cause, which leads to Type 2 diabetes, is unknown and many factors are believed to play their parts in the pathogenesis of the disease. Genetic predispositions, faulty dietary patterns and sedentary life-styles are indicated by researchers as important factors leading to the increase in p…
