This study examines the impact of economic institutions on ecological footprint and their spatial spillover effects globally, covering period from 2000 to 2021. We focus because that espouse freedom are essential for safeguarding environmental quality. hypothesize influence these varies both globally regionally. The Moran's I test reveals significant associations among countries, while Wald likelihood tests identify Durbin model as most appropriate approach. Furthermore, Hausman indicates a fixed best captures coefficients. Globally, demonstrate direct reduction effect 16.4% 4.4% footprint. However, show considerable regional variation. In North America, East Asia Pacific, Middle East, Africa, Europe, Central Asia, effectively reduce footprint, is negligible in other regions. These differences underscore importance addressing institutional deficiencies, encouraging policymakers regions with limited learn practices enhance effectiveness. insights collectively advance literature economics, emphasizing policy adaptation transboundary findings further reveal moderate GDP per capita curb significantly. conclusions hold even after endogeneity using generalized two-stage least squares method. recommends policies promoting mitigate global degradation.

Spatiotemporal Detection of Ecological Environment Quality Changes in the Lijiang River Basin Using a New Dual Model

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(2), P. 414 - 414

Published: Jan. 8, 2025

Detecting spatiotemporal changes in ecological environment quality (EEQ) is of great importance for maintaining regional security and supporting sustainable economic social development. However, research on EEQ detection from a remote sensing perspective insufficient, especially at the basin scale. Based two indices, namely, Ecological Index (EI) Remote Sensing (RSEI), we established dual model, combining comprehensive index (RSECI) its differential change to study evolutionary characteristics Lijiang River Basin (LRB) 2000 2020. The RSECI combines following five indicators: greenness, wetness, heat, dryness, aerosol optical depth. results this show that area good excellent LRB decreased 3676.22 km2 2083.89 2020, while poor fair increased 80.81 1375.91 From curve difference first rose, fell, then rose again. wetness greenness indicators had positive effects promoting EEQ, depth, dryness restraining effects. stepwise regression analysis showed that, among selected indicators, were key factors improving during period. approach model proposed can be used quantitatively evaluate facilitate spatial temporal dynamic EEQ.

Infectious diseases are increasingly emerging and spreading globally, ending up being considered a threat to biodiversity. In the Amazon region, repeated disappearance episodes of local populations white-lipped peccaries have been reported during last decades. These population crashes remain poorly understood, but current knowledge suggests potential role infectious diseases. We conducted systematic quantitative literature review on affecting suiform species in analyzing topic, identifying health threats for peccaries. found that information status free-ranging region is scarce, geographically uneven, mostly cross-sectional. recommend working with communities using alternative participatory sampling methodologies address logistical problem this wilderness setting. Furthermore, we emphasize importance developing studies broader geographical coverage multidisciplinary approaches, especially areas where already observed.

HLA-DQ2/8 and COVID-19 in celiac disease: Boon or Bane

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic continues to pose a global threat. While its virulence has subsided, it persisted due the continual emergence of new mutations. Although many high-risk conditions related COVID-19 have been identified, understanding protective factors remains limited. Intriguingly, epidemiological evidence suggests low incidence COVID-19-infected CD patients. present study explores whether their genetic background, namely associated HLA-DQs, offers protection against severe outcomes. We hypothesize that HLA-DQ 2/8 alleles may shield patients from and subsequent effects, possibly memory CD4 T cells primed by previous exposure human-associated common cold coronaviruses (CCC) higher affinity those allele's groove. In this context, we examined potential cross-reactivity between epitopes CCC assessed binding (BA) these 2/8. Using computational methods, analyzed sequence similarity four distinct CCC.
