Pollution and energy crisis are actual issues in Europe, including the EU Central and Eastern European states. In this context, the objective of this paper is to assess the impact of economic growth and electricity prices for non-household consumers on pollution. The empirical findings reveal the U pattern for energy industry and inverted U pattern for manufacturing in the period 2007-2021 in the EU countries from Central and Eastern Europe. Renewable energy consumption reduces the CO2 and GHG emissions in energy industry. FDI and electricity prices determine the reduction in GHG and CO2 emissions in both sectors. These results are the basis for policy recommendations.

The digital economy has significantly enhanced economic quality, and studying its implications on the environment can provide empirical support for policies that foster environment-economy coordination. This paper examines the impact of digital infrastructure on air quality, focusing on the mechanisms of public environmental attention and industrial development. It further analyzes heterogeneity in urban locations, degree of urbanization, and environmental regulation intensity.

China faces substantial challenges in healthcare access and quality, marked by significant regional disparities. While the potential of informatization to enhance healthcare services is increasingly acknowledged, the specific mechanisms through which it impacts healthcare delivery remain underexplored. By employing provincial panel data and dynamic spatial panel models, we aim to uncover the mechanisms through which informatization impacts healthcare delivery.

More than two decades ago, in the central-eastern region of the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, a mountain area was identified where the population displays exceptional longevity, especially among men (the Longevity Blue Zone, LBZ). This community was thoroughly investigated to understand the underlying causes of the phenomenon. The present study analyzed 11 genetic markers previously associated with increased survival in several long-lived populations.
