It begins by discussing the interconnectedness of nature and human well-being, highlighting the potential of NBS in reducing environmental stressors, restoring capacities and inviting for a more (inter-)active lifestyle. The chapter then delves into specific aspects of health addressed by NBS, such as the mitigation of air pollution and the enhancement of thermal comfort. Additionally, it examines the role of allotment gardens in promoting well-being and social cohesion within urban communities. Furthermore, the chapter explores how NBS can encourage healthy behaviour among urban residents, offering insights into understanding behavioural patterns. Concluding with recommendations for practitioners, the chapter underscores the importance of effectively implementing NBS to improve health and well-being in urban settings. }}, author = {{Cardinali, Marcel and Bodenan, Philippe and Burov, Angel and Chancibault, Katia and Fleury, Ghozlane and Herpin, Sophie and Roy-Lisneuf, Jude Le and Sapin, Arnaud and Petrova, Milena Tasheva and Mutafchiiska, Irina}}, booktitle = {{Urban Inclusive and Innovative Nature - Fundaments and Practices for the Co-creation of Nature-based Cities}}, editor = {{Ferreira, Isabel and Caitana, Beatriz and Nunes, Nathalie and Ribal, Eddine}}, isbn = {{978-88-6835-519-7}}, keywords = {{Nature-based Solutions, Public health, Air pollution, Thermal comfort, Social cohesion, Physical activity}}, pages = {{302–369}}, publisher = {{Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli}}, title = {{{How Nature-based Solutions Promote Health & Wellbeing}}}, year = {{2024}}, } @misc{13013, abstract = {{The relationship between green spaces and health is attracting more and more societal and research interest. The research field is however still suffering from its differing monodisciplinary origins. Now in a multidisciplinary environment on its way to a truly interdisciplinary field, there is a need for a common understanding, precision in green space indicators, and coherent assessment of the complexity of daily living environments. In several reviews, common protocols and open-source scripts are considered a high priority to advance the field. Realizing these issues, we developed PRIGSHARE (Preferred Reporting Items in Greenspace Health Research). It is accompanied by an open-source script that supports non-spatial disciplines in assessing greenness and green space on different scales and types. The PRIGSHARE checklist contains 21 items that have been identified as a risk of bias and are necessary for understanding and comparison of studies. The checklist is divided into the following topics: objectives (3 items), scope (3 items), spatial assessment (7 items), vegetation assessment (4 items), and context assessment (4 items). For each item, we include a pathway-specific (if relevant) rationale and explanation. The PRIGSHARE guiding principles should be helpful to support a high-quality assessment and synchronize the studies in the field while acknowledging the diversity of study designs.}}, author = {{Cardinali, Marcel and Beenackers, Mariëlle A. and van Timmeren, Arjan and Pottgiesser, Uta}}, booktitle = {{Environmental Research}}, issn = {{1096-0953}}, keywords = {{Greenspace, Well-being, Public health, Pollution, Behavior, Stress}}, publisher = {{Elsevier BV}}, title = {{{Preferred reporting items in green space health research.

Due to these effects, the distribution of sensor measurements may change over time, which is referred to as sensor drift. A multisensor system which adapts to drift by self-monitoring is more durable, requires less manual maintenance, and provides information of higher quality. This contribution proposes an approach for detecting and adapting to sensor drift. The proposed detection algorithm determines the reliability of a sensor based on fuzzy pattern classifiers and a consistency measure. By this means, the inherent redundancy in multisensor systems is exploited to detect drift. Detected drift leads then to a retraining of the classifier on batched data guided by information fusion. The retraining incorporates the estimated magnitude of the drift. The proposed algorithms are evaluated in comparison with state-of-the-art methods in the scope of a publicly available dataset. It is shown that the drift detection algorithm yields results similar to the benchmark algorithm but is less computationally complex. Relearning with the drift-adapted approach results in more robust classifiers with regard to potential future drift.}}, author = {{Holst, Christoph-Alexander and Lohweg, Volker}}, booktitle = {{23rd IEEE International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation (ETFA)}}, keywords = {{Multisensor systems, Temperature measurement, Current measurement, Redundancy, Pollution measurement, Detection algorithms}}, location = {{Torino, Italy}}, title = {{{A Conflict-Based Drift Detection And Adaptation Approach for Multisensor Information Fusion}}}, doi = {{10.1109/ETFA.2018.8502571}}, year = {{2018}}, } @misc{12249, abstract = {{We investigated the combined effects of thermal pollution from a nuclear power plant (NPP) and regional climate warming on the thermal regime of a lake. For this purpose, we used the lake model FLake and analyzed 50 years of temperature data from Lake Stechlin, Germany, which served as the cooling water reservoir for the Rheinsberg NPP from 1966 until 1990. Both modeling and statistical data analysis revealed a strong influence of the NPP cooling water discharge on the lake water temperatures and the vertical stability of the water column. A remarkable effect of thermal pollution consisted of strong vertical mixing in winter produced by the discharge of warm water into the lake when ambient water temperatures were below 4 °C. This effect caused a significant increase in the deep hypolimnion temperatures and a corresponding decrease of the vertical stability in the summer. In turn, climate warming had the opposite effect on the summer stability by increasing lake surface temperatures. Both the thermal pollution and climate change increased the duration of the summer stratification period. Our results suggest that industrial thermal pollution in temperate lakes during winter is stored in the deep water column until the next winter, whereas heat added in the summer dissipates relatively rapidly into the atmosphere. Accordingly, the winter thermal pollution could have a long-lasting effect on the lake ecology by affecting benthic biogeochemical processes.}}, author = {{Kirillin, Georgiy and Shatwell, Tom and Kasprzak, Peter}}, booktitle = {{Journal of Hydrology}}, issn = {{1879-2707}}, keywords = {{Industrial thermal pollution, Global warming, Lake stratification, FLake model}}, number = {{7}}, pages = {{47--56}}, publisher = {{Elsevier BV}}, title = {{{Consequences of thermal pollution from a nuclear plant on lake temperature and mixing regime}}}, doi = {{10.1016/j.jhydrol.2013.05.023}}, volume = {{496}}, year = {{2013}}, }
