“…This means that if GDP grows by 1% every year, the standard of living will increase by 2.66%. The results are consistent with the (Ilyas-Lecturer et al, 2023;Mukhtar et al, 2023;Qadri, Raza, Eid, & Abualigah, 2023).…”

Many studies have drawn conflicting conclusions about relationships between labour transfers, monetarily buildup, growth, and living standards in different settings, but only partially so. For this purpose, the capital and threshold conduction effects are often used to trace transmission channels for causal links. On the other hand, workers' remittances play a key role in the financial development of the economy. No study has specifically focused on the effects of worker transfers on living standards in Pakistan by monitoring the main and threshold transfer channels. Thus, there is a considerable need to explore these channels and their expansion. This study examines the effect of workers' remittances on living standards by expanding the capital conduit and threshold channels. The study scrutinizes the direct impact of financial development on living standards by tracing the threshold effect channel. Second, it channels the influence of financial development with living standards through the capital channel for GDP growth. Third, it examines the unintended effect of labour transfers on living standards by the financial development and GDP growth based on extended versions of capital leadership and threshold channels. to estimate bidirectional causal relationships between financial development and GDP growth. The data were taken for the period 1980–2020. Employing ARDL-bound (cointegration) testing, the study's results indicate a direct and indirect long and short-term relationship between worker transfers and living standards if we consider the effects of financial development and GDP growth. Furthermore, it is confirmed that the extension of the journey contributed significantly. Policymakers can use these findings to understand better worker remittances' role in developing financially sound strategies.

“…Recycling generates various value-added products, but its introduction has risks in the food chain. Contamination is a basic challenge of transforming by-products into food products [164] . Moreover, by-products are novel food products with specific functions; hence, safe food use must be properly documented.…”

“…Approximately 500 mycotoxins have been identified, including aflatoxins (AFTs), deoxynivalenol (DON), T-2 toxin, HT-2 toxin, ochratoxin A (OTA), zearalenone (ZEN), nivalenol (NIV), and fumonisins (FBs) [1][2][3]. These mycotoxins can contaminate a variety of food items, encompassing fruits, grain crops, and processed products such as beer, dried fruits, cereals, and animal feed [1,4,5]. A recent report has indicated mycotoxins could be detected in Chinese herbal medicine [6].…”

Aflatoxin (AFT) contamination poses a significant global public health and safety concern, prompting widespread apprehension. Of the various AFTs, aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) stands out for its pronounced toxicity and its association with a spectrum of chronic ailments, including cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer. Lycopene, a lipid-soluble natural carotenoid, has emerged as a potential mitigator of the deleterious effects induced by AFB1 exposure, spanning cardiac injury, hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, intestinal damage, and reproductive impairment. This protective mechanism operates by reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and lipid peroxidation, and activating the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway, facilitating the activation of mitochondrial biogenesis, the endogenous antioxidant system, and the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1 (PGC-1) pathways, as well as regulating the activities of cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes. This review provides an overview of the protective effects of lycopene against AFB1 exposure-induced toxicity and the underlying molecular mechanisms. Furthermore, it explores the safety profile and potential clinical applications of lycopene. The present review underscores lycopene’s potential as a promising detoxification agent against AFB1 exposure, with the intent to stimulate further research and practical utilization in this domain.
