Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Climate change will disturb the Earth's physical systems (e.g.weather patterns) and ecosystems (e.g.disease vector habitats); these disturbances, in turn, will pose direct and indirect risks to human health.Direct risks involve climatic factors that impinge directly on human biology.Indirect risks do not entail direct causal connections between climatic factors and human biology.The Third Assessment Report (TAR) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change elucidates the potential human health impacts of global climate change at both a population and regional level.The impacts on child health, adult health, and the health of the elderly, however, remain largely unexplored.A paucity of research regarding women's health is also extant, despite increasing interest in the issue.According to the TAR, climate change is projected to affect such key issues as air quality, food yields and nutrition, water-related infectious diseases, and water supply.Exposure to cooking fuels, access to food, distribution of food within the family, and choice of water sources is often determined by gender.Thus, women's contributions may, in some cases, make them more vulnerable than their male counterparts to climate change.Moreover, it is anticipated that health care will significantly help people adapt to climate change.Unfortunately, not everyone has adequate health care.In some countries, fewer than 25 % of women visit health-care professionals.Climate change is likely to have a strong, positive (worsening) effect on smog and acidic deposition; climate change is likely to have some effect on suspended particulates.In light of the foregoing, this paper addresses the interrelated and neglected areas of global climate change, air pollution, and women's health.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
