Examining the landscape transformation and temperature dynamics in Pakistan.

This study aims to examine the landscape transformation and temperature dynamics using multiple spectral indices. The processes of temporal fluctuations in the land surface temperature is strongly related to the morphological features of the area in which the temperature is determined, and the given factors significantly affect the thermal properties of the surface. This research is being conducted in Pakistan to identify the vegetation cover, water bodies, impervious surfaces, and land surface temperature using decadal remote sensing data with four intervals during 1993-2023 in the Mardan division, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Do green energy, command and control-based environmental regulations, and green growth catalysts for sustainable development? New evidence from China.

Sustainable development constitutes a comprehensive framework that integrates various economic, social, and environmental dimensions. Within this paradigm, the environmental aspect assumes particular prominence. In this context, we focus on the relationship between pro-environmental policies and sustainable development in China, the world's largest polluter.

The impact of China-US technological innovation, transportation, and power generation on energy, environment, and economic growth sustainability.

China and the United States have the highest demand for fossil fuel energy for transportation and power generation, which promotes growth while also damaging the environment. Policymakers, and environmental scientists, are increasingly interested in understanding key strategies to improve energy efficiency to mitigate fossil fuel energy demand and sustain the environment and growth. In this context, this study uses augmented mean groups (AMG) and common correlated effects mean group (CCEMG) estimators to reveal the impact of China-US technological innovation, transportation infrastructure, and power generation on fossil fuel energy demand and fossil fuel energy intensity from 1995 to 2020.

Management of Giant Thyroid Tumors in Patients with Multiple Comorbidities in a Tertiary Head and Neck Surgery Center.

: The thyroid gland can represent the seat of development for giant tumors exceeding 10 cm in diameter. A retrospective analysis on 21 cases of giant thyroid tumors with comorbidities, operated in the ENT Department of the Bucharest University Emergency Hospital has been conducted. : Giant benign tumors accounted for 28.
