During the Summer of 1995, atmospheric ozone concentrations were measured in five areas with different geographical and environmental characteristics. The five areas included: 1. Pisan coastline. 2. An urban area with a high volume of traffic. 3. A rural area away from emission sources. 4. Monte Serra (Alt. 900 m). 5. The monitoring station within a small urban park. The aim of this study was to identify relationships between ozone concentrations and the different geophysical factors related to the designated areas, such as traffic volume, height above sea level, and the meteorological aspects of the Pisan coastline.

Background: Fast and reliable species identification of black flies is essential for research proposes and effective vector control. Besides traditional identification based on morphology, which is usually supplemented with molecular methods, geometric morphometrics (GM) has emerged as a promising tool for identification. Despite its potential, no specific GM techniques have been established for the identification of black fly species.

Background: The Nurse Practitioner role in Australia is slowly expanding, with a well-established body of evidence supporting their introduction. Yet, there is a lack of consistent support from the medical profession for this role. Nurse Practitioners wishing to work in the community setting may, therefore, experience resistance from General Practitioners.

Climate change has caused extreme weather events, including frequent summer heat waves. We examined how the effects of high air temperatures on mortality have changed between the two study periods (1991-1995 and 2015-2019), including 1994 and 2018, the worst heat wave years in the meteorological history of South Korea. Temperature data from the Korea Meteorological Administration and mortality data from Statistics Korea were used in this study.
