Institutions are important in analyzing the relationship between natural resource rents and financial sector development. The existing research has not unanimously established the role played by the quality of institutions on the impact of natural resource rents on financial sector development. The financial-resource nexus literature has largely ignored the role of institutions and the sensitivity of the relationship to the choice of proxies for financial sector development. This study provides new empirical evidence on the interactive role of institutions in the relationship between natural resource rents and financial sector development for 25 Sub-Saharan African countries from 1996 to 2017. To that end, we employ a dynamic system GMM estimator with endogeneity-purging efficiency. Our results show that a huge improvement in legal and political institutions is required to boost the impact of natural resource rents on Sub-Saharan Africa's financial sector development. Our results are robust to the use of alternative measures of institutions. We also found that the impact of natural resource rents on financial sector development is unclear as this depends on how financial sector development is measured. Implications of the findings for academics, policymakers and regulators are provided.

Introduction: High-Flow Nasal Therapy (HFNT) is an innovative non-invasive form of respiratory support. Compared to standard oxygen therapy (SOT), there is an equipoise regarding the effect of HFNT on patient-centred outcomes among those at high risk of developing postoperative pulmonary complications after undergoing cardiac surgery. The NOTACS trial aims to determine the clinical and cost-effectiveness of HFNT compared to SOT within 90 days of surgery in the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.

Traditional testing methods in the Middle East Region, including the United Arab Emirates (UAE), particularly the testing of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), influenza, group A streptococcus (GAS), and COVID-19 have the potential to be upgraded to new and advanced diagnostics methods that improve lead time to diagnosis, consumption of healthcare resources and patient experience. In addition, based on the research, it was reported that there is an underreporting of respiratory cases, overuse of antibiotics, and prolonged hospitalizations which is posing pressure on UAE healthcare stakeholders. A literature review was done exploring UAE's current diagnostic practices, recommended guidelines, diagnostic gaps, and challenges in RSV, GAS, Influenza, and COVID-19.

Traditional agricultural activities and rural livelihoods in Morocco's High Atlas Mountains are rapidly changing. This is triggered by increasing rural-urban interactions and new livelihood opportunities in cities. A typical example is the oasis of Tizi N'Oucheg in the country's High Atlas Mountains, which over centuries was largely self-sufficient in food grain and livestock production.

Indonesia currently calculates CO emissions from gas fuels using Tier 1 emission factors adopted from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). However, this method may not accurately capture the country's specific emission characteristics. To address this, this study aims to derive country-specific CO emission factors for gas fuels, including liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), liquefied gas for vehicles (LGV), natural gas (NG), and liquefied natural gas (LNG), by analyzing fuel samples collected nationwide.
