This study employs high-resolution UAV thermal imagery and machine learning to analyze microscale urban heat patterns in a vulnerable residential neighborhood in Daejeon, South Korea, identifying key factors such as alley width and proximity to rivers that influence thermal vulnerability. By informing targeted heat mitigation strategies in urban regeneration areas, the research supports SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and SDG 13 (Climate Action), advancing the World Population Day goal to �Leave No One Behind� by addressing localized climate risks in densely populated, marginalized urban settings.

Throughout the 19th century in southern Brazil, as in the whole country, girls received a poorer mathematical education than boys. Historical records of this education are scarce. The first systematic opportunity for girls to progress beyond basic arithmetic was by pursuing training as elementary school teachers. In the 20th century, several movements converged to reduce inequalities: coeducation became standard in primary schools, secondary education was standardized, and both coeducational and girls’ secondary schools expanded rapidly.

Women's participation in science has been growing throughout history. However, a gender gap in their equity in participation requires pragmatic strategies and public policies that motivate women's opportunities in research. This study aims to analyse the scientific contribution of female Ecuadorian researchers through a diagnosis of the metrics and co-author's criteria for scientific publications to establish strategies oriented toward women's inclusion in Ecuador's research development.
