Agricultural insurance and green agriculture are strongly related. Agricultural insurance not only motivates farmers to adopt environmentally friendly production technology and enhances the effectiveness of production, but it also accomplishes the goal of lowering the number of chemicals that are put into the environment. This article investigates the dynamic relationship between agricultural insurance, air pollution, and agricultural green total factor productivity. To complete the aim, the authors used the panel auto-regressive distributed lags method (PMG method) and panel data from 50 states of the United States between 2005 and 2019. The empirical findings demonstrate a considerable co-integration and a cross-sectional reliance between agricultural insurance, air pollution, and agricultural green total factor production. Expanding agricultural insurance may boost agricultural green whole factor output but also exacerbate air pollution. However, significant air pollution does not increase agricultural production’s green total factor productivity. The panel Granger causality test shows a one-way causal relationship between agricultural insurance, green total factor productivity, and air pollution. A one-way causal relationship exists between air pollution and agricultural green total factor productivity. The author concluded that improving agricultural insurance coverage or cutting down on air pollution will boost agricultural green total factor output. These findings have long-term policy and management repercussions, particularly for those involved in agriculture policy and environmental management.
The aim of this article is to investigate the relationship between the CEO, Director and executives’ compensation on firm performance. Moreover research and development as moderator check the relation of R&D over firm performance and CEO, directors, executives’ compensation in an emerging Pakistan market. This research uses the GSEM approach for the problem of abnormality and homoscedastic arise the sample data collected from PSE 100 index non-financial list over the era of 2014-2019.The data collection sample from 75 non-financial firm and final sample consisted on 69 firm 6 organization exclude due to unavailability of data. This study provide the evidence that CEOs, Director, executives’ compensation have a significant relation with firm performance while, R&D show that insignificant relation with CEO/directors and Executives compensation perhaps R&D show significant relation with firm performance. This research contributed the firm with their better remuneration to the executive; CEO and director have better financial performance. Meanwhile research and development also play pivotal role toward firm performance due to their innovative idea and technique. In future other Asian countries included in the sample set like India and also some variable like CSR, Firm age, top executive education and tenure for showing the better significant results.
Investigating the fiscal decentralization’s effect on the carbon intensity of agricultural production may assist the United States in reaching its carbon peak and becoming carbon neutral. This paper delves into the investigation of the spatiotemporal patterns and internal relationships between fiscal decentralization, agricultural carbon intensity, and environmental regulation. The goal was achieved by using the spatial Durbin model using panel data for 49 states of the United States from 2000 to 2019. The study has found that environmental regulations play a significant role in reducing regional carbon emissions in agriculture and contribute positively to carbon emissions control. However, fiscal decentralization, which grants local governments more financial autonomy, has a positive but insignificant impact on carbon emissions, indicating that the prioritization of economic development and carbon control over environmental protection is favored by local governments. In examining the impact of environmental regulations on carbon emissions, the study reveals that fiscal decentralization does not play a substantial role in moderating this relationship. To promote low-carbon agriculture projects and ensure coordinated economic and environmental development, the study recommends optimizing the fiscal decentralization system, formulating different policies for different regions, and regulating the competencies of local governments through an effective examination system. The study concludes that it is crucial to obtain data at the city or county level to accurately understand the relationship between agricultural carbon intensity, environmental regulation, and fiscal decentralization. As a result, the central government must focus on perfecting the fiscal decentralization system, developing a differentiated agricultural carbon emission control system, controlling competition among local governments, and perfecting a political performance assessment system.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the efficiency of non-operative management of acute non-complicated appendicitis in terms of cost effectiveness, as well as related morbidity and mortality. Study Design: A prospective observational research. Place and duration: In the Surgical Unit of Islam Medical College and Teaching Hospital Sialkot for one-year duration from January 2021 to December 2021. Methodology: The study included 110 patients with early acute non-complicated appendicitis who were identified by clinical history, physical, and laboratory testing. 110 patients were given intravenous antibiotics for two days, followed by oral antibiotics for seven days. A proforma was used to collect the data. Several morbidities were recognized and tracked in patients. Results: There were 72 men and 38 women, with an average age of 20 years. Right iliac fossa pain, nausea, vomiting, and anorexia were the most frequent symptoms, whereas fever, tachycardia, and rebound tenderness in the right iliac fossa were the most common signs. Patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups. After an uneventful stay of 2 to 4 days. Patients in Group 1 (36.4 percent) who were treated conservatively had no problems and were discharged after a hospital stay of 2 to 4 days. Within four months, 5 patients (12.5%) and three patients (3%) experienced recurrence within six months. They had appendicectomies done in the traditional way. Wound infection was the sole postoperative complication in one patient (5%). Their hospital stay lasted anywhere from three to six days. Two (2.9%) patients with perforated/gangrenous appendix with appendicolith was found in Group-2 patients who had standard appendicectomy. Wound infection occurred in 4 individuals (5.7 percent), pelvic collection in 3 (4.3 percent), and subsequently small intestinal obstruction (adhesive) in two patients (2.8 percent). Their hospital stay lasted anywhere from four to nine days. Conclusion: Patients who were treated conservatively with antibiotics had minor discomfort and required fewer analgesics. Although surgery-related morbidity, death, and costs were averted, the recurrence rate was not insignificant. Keywords: Acute appendicitis, Conservative management, Recurrence
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
