This study investigates the intricate dynamics of international multilateral climate finance disbursements from 2003 to 2022 via an extensive dataset from the Climate Funds Update (CFU). By employing panel data econometric models, including pooled ordinary least squares (OLS), fixed effects (FE), and random effects (RE) models, the study elucidates the impact of grants and approved funds on disbursement levels across different income groups. The analysis reveals that while grants do not significantly influence disbursements, the approval of funds plays a critical role in enhancing disbursement efficiency. The random effects model, validated through the Hausman test, emerges as the optimal model for this context. The findings underscore the importance of streamlined approval processes in ensuring effective climate finance disbursements and highlight the need for further investigation into the non-significance of grants. The forecasting results indicate a positive trend in disbursements from 2023 to 2027, with potential fluctuations driven by external factors. This study provides valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders to optimize climate finance mechanisms and improve fund utilization for sustainable development.

Purpose: This study aims to first investigate and compare the perceptions of departed and on-the-job nurses in the patient safety culture and then identify critical dimension(s) that might affect these two groups.
Design/methodology/approach: A chi-squared test is employed to find critical demographic variables between departed and on-the-job nurses. In addition, linear regression with forward selection is used to identify the essential dimensions of the Chinese version of the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (CSAQ) that affect the overall satisfaction of the patient safety culture in a regional teaching hospital in Taiwan.
Diversified planting patterns are important measures to improve the comprehensive grain production capacity, alleviate the contradiction between grain crops and forage planting, and enhance water production efficiency. In order to explore the suitable diversified planting modes in the Yellow River irrigation area of Ningxia, a total of 4 treatments were designed, including wheat-maize silage intercropping and multiple planting of sorghum-sudangrass hybrid after wheat harvest (T1); wheat-cabbage intercropping, multiple planting of oil sunflower after wheat harvest, followed by maize silage planting after cabbage harvest (T2); sole wheat, after the harvest of wheat, half of the land is used for multiple plantings of maize silage, and the other half is used for multiple plantings of oil sunflower (T3); and sole maize silage (T4). The results showed that all diversified planting modes can increase biomass and land equivalent ratio compared to the control monoculture.

Importance: Flooding is a major environmental hazard, with events increasing in intensity and frequency in the context of climate change. Floods cause significant health and economic impacts, particularly among vulnerable populations, including older adults. However, comprehensive analyses of the health consequences of flooding remain limited.
