- Sediment buildup in sewer systems can decrease their drainage capacity, leading to urban flooding and safety hazards, driven by various environmental factors that are not fully understood.
- This study investigated the interaction of five environmental factors—population, traffic, climate, air quality, and wastewater quality—on sediment accumulation in different sewer structures in Kyoto, Japan, from 2014 to 2023.
- Findings revealed that population and traffic increased sediment due to pollutant emissions, while climate and air quality significantly influenced deposition, highlighting the importance of these factors for understanding sewer sedimentation in the context of climate change.
The quality of life (QOL) of family caregivers often deteriorates after the death of patients with terminal cancer. Although previous retrospective cross-sectional studies of the bereaved family caregivers of cancer patients have suggested that lower satisfaction with care given to terminal cancer patients was related to lower QOL of the bereaved family caregivers, the retrospective cross-sectional study design has limitations. To clarify family caregivers' satisfaction with the care of terminal cancer patients and bereaved family caregivers' QOL.
