From May to September 2023, 107 people who were taken to the hospital by an ambulance due to heat strokes died, indicating no change compared to the previous year. Within the surveyed period, the highest number of 160 heatstroke fatalities was recorded in the summer of 2018.

By August 1945, U.S. and British Commonwealth forces had pushed the Japanese back through Southeast Asia to the Japanese mainland, while Japanese control in China was weakening each day, and the Soviet Union was rapidly approaching from the west. However, despite inevitable defeat looming over the Empire of Japan, its military leaders encouraged its forces to fight to the death, and Japanese resistance grew in ferocity as they were pushed back to the mainland, most notably on the islands of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. As U.S. leadership realized that an amphibious assault on the Japanese mainland would result in heavy and unnecessary casualties on both sides, including large numbers of civilians, an alternative measure was sought. The USSR's advance also put time pressure on the Americans, as defeating Japan quickly would give the U.S. more time to assert control over the region, without having to split control with the Soviets (as was the case in Germany). The bombs are dropped On May 31, 1945, it was suggested that the U.S. demonstrate the power of the atomic bomb to the Japanese, to convince them to surrender - the plan was rejected, however, in the fear that it was not convincing enough, that the Japanese may shoot down the plane, or that the bomb was a dud - instead, a surprise attack was viewed as the most effective course of action. Following the Trinity Test in July 16, the United States achieved the goal of successfully creating and detonating a nuclear weapon. On July 26, the leaders of the U.S., UK, and China all called for the unconditional surrender of Japan, otherwise Japan would face "prompt and utter destruction". Japan did not surrender, and on the morning of August 6, the Enola Gay B-29 bomber dropped an atomic bomb, known as "Little Boy", over the city of Hiroshima. Japan still refused to surrender, and three days later, another bomb, known as "Fat Man", was dropped over Nagasaki. Japan's surrender was announced on August 15, and formalized on September 2, 1945, bringing WWII to a close. Impact The bomb dropped over Hiroshima was a uranium 235 bomb, which detonated at approximately 580 meters (1,900ft) above the ground and had a yield of 16 kilotons (i.e. it had the same blast force as 16,000 tons of TNT). The bomb dropped over Nagasaki was a plutonium 239 bomb, which detonated at approximately 500 meters (1,650ft) and had a yield of 21 kilotons. The temperatures at the epicenter of the explosions reached around 3,000-4,000 degrees Celsius, and thermal radiation was so strong that it caused third degree burns over a kilometer from ground zero. The majority of those within a one km radius of both explosions were killed instantly through the blast force and intense heat, while those further away were more susceptible to injuries by burning, falling debris and glass, and radiation. Additionally, as the fallout from the blast (i.e. radioactive dust and ash sent into the air by the explosion) returned to the ground it was carried by the wind to populations outside of the blast radius, and radiation sickness then took hold over the days and weeks that followed. Due to the nature of the attack, Japan's population distribution at the time, and the long-term effects of radiation poisoning (which may be responsible for illnesses and death several years after exposure), there is no accepted consensus on the total number of deaths due to the atomic bombings at Hiroshima and Nagasaki -the figures given appear to be on the lower end of estimate ranges, where combined estimates generally vary between 110,000 and 210,000 deaths.

This layer contains the data of state level India Japanese encephalitis 2014-2024 and contains information about acute encephalitis syndrome cases in 2024, acute encephalitis syndrome deaths in 2024, Japanese encephalitis cases in 2024, Japanese encephalitis deaths in 2024 etc.About Japanese encephalitisJapanese encephalitis (JE) is a potentially severe disease. JE is caused by a virus spread by infected mosquitoes in Asia and the western Pacific. JE virus is one of a group of mosquito-transmitted viruses that can cause inflammation of the brain (encephalitis).A person with Japanese encephalitis will probably have no symptoms at all, but if there are symptoms, they will appear 5 to 15 days after being infected.Possible symptoms include:HeadacheHigh feverTremorsNauseaVomitingStiff neckSpastic paralysisA person might also undergo changes to brain function, including:StuporDisorientationComaConvulsions in childrenDistribution of Japanese encephalitis in IndiaThe virus activity was reported regularly from states of northern and northeastern parts of India as well as it’s spread to naive non-endemic regions of the country. Recently, India witnessed another large outbreak in Malkangiri during 2012 and Manipur in July 2016. An unexplained acute neurologic illness affecting children with high case-fatality rates was reported from Muzaffarpur district of Bihar since 1995. The cause of illness was attributed to infectious encephalitis, extreme heat and humidity causing heat stroke as well as exposure to pesticides. A hypothesis linking this disease with the cultivation of litchi fruits was also proposed. However, the disease was ascribed to the presence of hypoglycin A or methylenecyclopropylglycine (MCPG) – present in litchi that can cause hypoglycemia and metabolic derangement.The attributes are given below for this web map:Acute Encephalitis Syndrome Cases in 2014Acute Encephalitis Syndrome Deaths in 2014Japanese Encephalitis Cases in 2014Japanese Encephalitis Deaths in 2014Acute Encephalitis Syndrome Cases in 2015Acute Encephalitis Syndrome Deaths in 2015Japanese Encephalitis Cases in 2015Japanese Encephalitis Deaths in 2015Acute Encephalitis Syndrome Cases in 2016Acute Encephalitis Syndrome Deaths in 2016Japanese Encephalitis Cases in 2016Japanese Encephalitis Deaths in 2016Acute Encephalitis Syndrome Cases in 2017Acute Encephalitis Syndrome Deaths in 2017Japanese Encephalitis Cases in 2017Japanese Encephalitis Deaths in 2017Acute Encephalitis Syndrome Cases in 2018Acute Encephalitis Syndrome Deaths in 2018Japanese Encephalitis Cases in 2018Japanese Encephalitis Deaths in 2018Acute Encephalitis Syndrome Cases in 2019Acute Encephalitis Syndrome Deaths in 2019Japanese Encephalitis Cases in 2019Japanese Encephalitis Deaths in 2019Acute Encephalitis Syndrome Cases in 2020Acute Encephalitis Syndrome Deaths in 2020Acute Encephalitis Syndrome Cases in 2021Acute Encephalitis Syndrome Deaths in 2021Acute Encephalitis Syndrome Cases in 2022Acute Encephalitis Syndrome Deaths in 2022Acute Encephalitis Syndrome Cases in 2023Acute Encephalitis Syndrome Deaths in 2023Acute Encephalitis Syndrome Cases in November 2024(P)Acute Encephalitis Syndrome Deaths in November 2024(P)Source: https://ncvbdc.mohfw.gov.in/index1.php?lang=1&level=2&sublinkid=5917&lid=4001This web layer is offered by Esri India, for ArcGIS Online subscribers.
