AI Article Synopsis

  • The study looks at how geopolitical risk (GPR) affects the sharing of green technology, especially in developing countries, through things like foreign investments and imports.
  • It uses data from 30 regions in China from 2003 to 2019 to show that more GPR makes it harder for green technologies to be shared or spread.
  • The research also finds that improving local technology levels, market access, and protecting ideas can help reduce the negative effects of GPR, showing that having a stable government is important for sharing technology and supporting growth.

Article Abstract

This study investigates the impact of geopolitical risk (GPR) on green international technology spillovers through foreign direct investment (FDI) and import channels. The research aims to understand how GPR influences the transfer of green technologies, which are crucial for sustainable development, particularly in developing countries. Utilizing data from 30 Chinese provinces from 2003 to 2019, our findings indicate that increased GPR significantly hinders green technology spillovers through both FDI and imports. Additionally, the research demonstrates that advancements in local green technology levels (GTL), marketization (Mark), and intellectual property rights protection (IPRP) can mitigate the adverse effects of GPR. These results underscore the critical importance of political stability and robust internal mechanisms in promoting international technological exchanges. This study contributes to the literature on the intersection of political risks and technological advancement and provides actionable insights for policymakers to enhance resilience against geopolitical uncertainties, thereby fostering sustainable economic development.

Monkeypox (mpox) is a viral infection closely related to smallpox, manifesting as a milder febrile rash in affected individuals. Over the past two decades, the incidence of mpox has surged, possibly linked to a declining immunity against the smallpox vaccine worldwide. Recent outbreaks of mpox in multiple countries have sparked concerns regarding altered transmission patterns and the potential for a global menace.

The re-emergence of the Nipah virus (NiV) in Kerala, India, following the tragic death of a 14-year-old boy, underscores the persistent threat posed by zoonotic pathogens and highlights the growing global public health challenge. With no vaccine or curative treatment available, and fatality rates as high as 94% in past outbreaks, the Nipah virus is a critical concern for health authorities worldwide. Transmitted primarily through contact with fruit bats or consumption of contaminated food, as well as direct human-to-human transmission, NiV remains a highly lethal and unpredictable pathogen.

Background: Tamdy virus (TAMV) was first isolated in Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. In 2018, it was found in China, marking its entry into the molecular research era. TAMV is linked to febrile diseases, but its epidemiology and spillover risks are poorly understood, necessitating urgent molecular research and detection method development.

Nanoparticle vaccines displaying combinations of SARS-like betacoronavirus (sarbecovirus) receptor-binding domains (RBDs) could protect against SARS-CoV-2 variants and spillover of zoonotic sarbecoviruses into humans. Using a computational approach, we designed variants of SARS-CoV-2 RBDs and selected 7 natural sarbecovirus RBDs, each predicted to fold properly and abrogate antibody responses to variable epitopes. RBDs were attached to 60-mer nanoparticles to make immunogens displaying two (mosaic-2s), five (mosaic-5), or seven (mosaic-7) different RBDs for comparisons with mosaic-8b, which elicited cross-reactive antibodies and protected animals from sarbecovirus challenges.

This paper selects daily stock market trading data of RCEP member countries from 3 December 2007 to 9 December 2024 and employs the Time-Varying Parameter Vector Autoregression (TVP-VAR) model and transfer entropy to measure the time-varying volatility spillover effects among the stock markets of the sampled countries. The results indicate that the signing of the RCEP has strengthened the interconnectedness of member countries' stock markets, with an overall upward trend in volatility spillover effects, which become even more pronounced during periods of financial turbulence. Within the structure of RCEP member stock markets, China is identified as a net risk receiver, while countries like Japan and South Korea act as net risk spillover contributors.
