The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of climate change on the climate condition of outdoor tourists in Hormozgan province, Iran, through Outdoor Tourism Climate Index (OTCI). For this purpose, the data pertaining to 7 weather stations as well as 2 global climate models (GCMs) under 2.6 and 8.5 Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) were applied. GCMs were statistically downscaled by the change factor (CF) approach. The findings illuminated that, based on OTCI, December, January, February, and March were regarded as the optimal months for the outdoor tourism activities. Nevertheless, for the concerned months, the range of OTCI score in twenty-first century is changing from 2 to - 12 regarding the base period (1980-2010). Mostly, the changes in OTCI score is predicted to occur at March, April, May, October, and November, whereas June would record the least. Moreover, Hajiabad and Kish stations in the North and South of the under-study area would encounter the most and least changes, respectively, in the future.

FusionU10: enhancing pedestrian detection in low-light complex tourist scenes through multimodal fusion.
Front Neurorobot

With the rapid development of tourism, the concentration of visitor flows poses significant challenges for public safety management, especially in low-light and highly occluded environments, where existing pedestrian detection technologies often struggle to achieve satisfactory accuracy. Although infrared images perform well under low-light conditions, they lack color and detail, making them susceptible to background noise interference, particularly in complex outdoor environments where the similarity between heat sources and pedestrian features further reduces detection accuracy. To address these issues, this paper proposes the FusionU10 model, which combines information from both infrared and visible light images.

The Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) is a widely used self-report measure of subjective well-being, but studies of its measurement invariance across a large number of nations remain limited. Here, we utilised the Body Image in Nature (BINS) dataset-with data collected between 2020 and 2022 -to assess measurement invariance of the SWLS across 65 nations, 40 languages, gender identities, and age groups (N = 56,968). All participants completed the SWLS under largely uniform conditions.

Introduction: Sport and outdoor activities have benefits on people's health and well-being but may also increase the frequency of unsustainable behaviors. The present study explores drivers of travel mode choice and consumption of material (clothes and equipment) associated with physical activity to clarify the extent to which an active and sustainable lifestyle is compatible. The role of identity and varying levels of internalized motivation for pro-environmental behaviors (autonomous and controlled environmental motivation) and engagement in physical activity (autonomous and controlled activity motivation) was examined.

Background: Sexual violence (SV) while travelling internationally is underreported and pre-travel advice is often focussed on broader tourist safety concerns. International travellers who experience sexual violence face particular challenges. The aim of this paper was to analyse the attendances of people who disclosed having been subjected to SV during international travel to the Sexual Assault Treatment Unit (SATU) network in the Republic of Ireland.
