Introduction to the problem<\/span><\/u><\/span>:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Heat waves, characterized by prolonged periods of excessively high temperatures, have become a growing concern globally, especially during the summer months. These extreme weather events are often caused by climate change, urbanization, and other environmental factors. They disrupt ecosystems and pose significant challenges to public health, agriculture, infrastructure, and overall economic stability.<\/p>\n

1. Impacts of the 2015 heat waves on mortality<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This study aimed to assess the impacts of heat waves during the summer of 2015 on mortality in the Czech Republic and to compare them with those of heat waves back to the previous record-breaking summer of 1994. We analyze daily natural-cause mortality across the country\u2019s entire population. A mortality baseline was determined using generalized additive models adjusted for long-term trends, seasonal and weekly cycles, and identified heat waves. (<\/span>\u00a0Yulong\u00a0<\/span>et al,2023)<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Increasing impact of summers<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Extreme precipitation events (EPEs) and heatwaves (HWs) can trigger floods, droughts, and other natural disasters, resulting in severe socioeconomic losses in eastern China. However, the accurate links between EPEs and HWs and future changes in these extremes are not fully resolved, which potentially impedes disaster warning and preparedness efforts. This study examines historical and future changes in summer EPEs and HWs in eastern China based on observations and model outputs from<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6. The results show that EPEs and HWs in eastern China have increased in the past four decades and are projected to rise. (\u00a0<\/span>ales Urban et al,2017)<\/span><\/p>\n

Data Collection:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0We designed five questions using a Likert scale to assess the impact of\u00a0 Heat waves in summer. A survey was conducted among 100 students from Kohinoor Business School through Google Forms. The response options included: Strongly Agree, Agree, Neutral, Disagree, and Strongly Disagree, which were assigned numerical values of 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, respectively. For each question, we calculated the\u00a0mean, standard deviation, standard error, and z-scores<\/span>\u00a0to analyze the responses. The five questions included in the survey were as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>I consume more water during summer<\/span><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>I avoid working outside between 12:00 pm and 4:00 pm<\/span><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>I consume more electricity in summer<\/span><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>I change my diet in the\u00a0summer<\/span><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>My family plans a summer vacation<\/span><\/p>\n
