Urbanization significantly influences local climate conditions, particularly through the intensification of the Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI) effect. Understanding the spatial and temporal variations in SUHI is essential for effective urban planning and environmental management. This study investigated the dynamics of SUHI in Tehran, examining its correlations with land surface temperature (LST), vegetation coverage, land u...

Research on physical activity (PA) and health has a fundamental concern with dose–response relationships. The variables of (1) Frequency, (2) Intensity, (3) Time, and (4) Type (i.e., the FITT principle) have traditionally been used to operationalize the dosage of PA. We consider some limitations of FITT and propose that it can be complemented by the additional variable density (from the German exercise and training variable Be...

Data recovery and climate reconstruction are an important support for climate change research, as they provide information from periods and areas with sparse meteorological networks. Various sources are currently in use for obtaining valuable evidence of past climate, such as ship logs, diaries, books, monastery documents. This study exploits newspaper reports in order to enrich the historical meteorological information over t...
