For New Zealand, one of the biggest things that changed over the first 2.5 years of the Covid era was a dramatic slowing in the population growth rate, not because of Covid or other deaths but because net migration went from a hugely positive annual rate to a moderately negative rate. Pr...
The paper examines whether there was an excess of deaths and the relative role of temperature and ozone in a heatwave during 7–26 February 2004 in Brisbane, Australia, a subtropical city accustomed to warm weather. The data on daily counts of deaths from cardiovascular disease and non-external...
During 2013-2017, the mortality rate ratio for rheumatic heart disease among Indigenous versus non-Indigenous persons in Australia was 15.9, reflecting health inequity. Using excess mortality methods, we found that deaths associated with rheumatic heart disease among Indigenous Australians were...
Excess mortality is defined as, “The difference in the total number of deaths in a crisis compared to those expected under normal conditions”3. Excess mortality accounts for both the total number of deaths directly attributed to the virus and those resulting from the indirect impact, such as ...
(O3). All of these are causes for respiratory problems and cancers for humans, while ozone causes damage to crops and other vegetation, as well as to buildings and other cultural heritage. For the European situation, models estimate that PM contributes to 300–400 thousand premature deaths ...
Australia, Denmark and Georgia observed fewer than expected deaths, whereas in Austria, Estonia, Israel, Norway, Slovenia and Ukraine 2020 mortality was as expected. Italy, Spain, UK and Brazil enforced high SI measures at least after 3 weeks from the first COVID-19 death. Sweden and the ...
The UK has experienced 6 back to back quarters of excess mortaility as of September 2023 (O'Dowd, 2023). Australia recorded a 7% excess death rate (half of which is put down to Covid-19) in the first 5 months of 2023 (Adair, 2023). ...
We find that people living in southern, eastern, central, and northern China, subjects with cardiorespiratory diseases, females, the elderly, and the illiterate will suffer more adverse effects from future high temperatures in China. Population aging will remarkably amplify heat-related deaths in the...

(not yet present and unlikely to occur). It does not consider the global risk of AMR in the decision. The World-AI system, instead, takes into account the global mortality rate of AMR, aiming to reduce the total number of all AMR-related deaths. Because of this, this AI system does ...
