Investigation of resource curse hypothesis: the role of renewable energy and urbanization in realizing environmental sustainability in China.

This research investigates the resource curse hypothesis and environmental sustainability by integrating China's natural resources, renewable energy, and urbanization. However, the EKC N shape describes the complete picture of the EKC hypothesis for the growth-pollution relationship. The findings of FMOLS and DOLS show that economic expansion positively drives carbon dioxide emissions in the beginning, then negatively so after the target level of growth is reached.

Identification of time-varying wetlands neglected in Pakistan through remote sensing techniques.

Aside from Ramsar Convention awareness programs, the concept of wetlands is mostly ignored in developing countries. Wetland ecosystems are essential to hydrological cycles, ecosystem diversity, climatic change, and economic activity. Under the Ramsar Convention, there are 2414 wetlands that are internationally recognized, and Pakistan is home to 19 of them.

Analyzing the Asymmetric Effect of Renewable Energy Consumption on Environment in STIRPAT-Kaya-EKC Framework: A NARDL Approach for China.

This study aims to analyze the asymmetric relation between renewable energy consumption and CO emissions in China using the STIRPAT-Kaya-EKC framework. To delve into the asymmetric effect of renewable energy consumption on the environment, the non-linear ARDL model is used. The results of this study confirm the asymmetric impact of renewable energy on the environment in the long run as well as in the short run.

ICT, renewable energy, financial development, and CO emissions in developing countries of East and South Asia.

This study aims to analyze the impact of ICT, renewable energy consumption, and financial development on CO emissions in selected developing countries of East and South Asia. Using panel data spanning 1985-2020, Pooled Mean Group (PMG) estimator is used to analyze the short-run and long-run effects. Results suggest that ICT and financial development positively contribute to the degradation of the environment in the long run, while their impact on CO emissions is insignificant in the short run.

The non-linear relationship between carbon dioxide emissions, financial development and energy consumption in developing European and Central Asian economies.

A sizeable amount of scholarly work has been done on different aspects of financial, economic, and environmental factors. In the present study, the nonlinearity is determined between financial development and carbon dioxide emissions in the long-run and short-run periods. According to the finding, the continued financial development initially increases the carbon dioxide emissions in the short and long run.

Risk factors of Leukaemia in different hospitals of Punjab.

Objective: To investigate potential risk factors of leukaemia.

Methods: This case-control study was conducted in 5 hospitals in the province of Punjab, Pakistan, from May to September 2014, and comprised adult leukaemia patients and healthy controls with similar gender and marital status, and children patients and healthy controls with matching age and gender. Interviews were carried out face-to-face with adults and with the parents of the minors to obtain information on family history, lifestyle risk factors, employment history, residential history, trauma history and occupational and non-occupational exposures by using a close-ended questionnaire.
