“…Further, it is evident from the correlation results that women's autonomy increases by open innovation factors, i.e., there is a positive correlation of patent applications (r = 0.815 p < 0.000) and R&D expenditures (r = 0.958 p < 0.000) with women's autonomy. Females are more environmentally friendly and greatly caring for their corporate and household environment by using green products [67,68]. Hence it is shown that there is a positive correlation between females' share in labor force participation and renewable energy consumption with a correlation estimate of r = 0.984 p < 0.000.…”

The role of women in economic development and the global environment is vital for progressing them towards the United Nations sustainable development goal (SDG-5) that emphasized the need to empower women in every walk of life. The study examines women’s autonomy in the sustainable development agenda under China’s open innovation system from 1975 to 2019. The study employed an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model, vector autoregressive (VAR) Granger causality, and innovation accounting matrix to estimate parameters. The existing data are summarized and collated in the context of China to explain as a correlational study. The results show that women’s autonomy moderated with technology spills over to decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and substantiate the hump-shaped relationship between them. The increased spending on research and development (R&D) activities, patent publications, and renewable energy consumption empowers women to be equipped with the latest sustainable technologies to improve environmental quality. The pollution haven hypothesis verifies a given country, where trade liberalization policies tend to increase polluting industries to set up their plants that engaged in dirty production that exacerbate GHG emissions. The causality estimates confirmed that technological innovations and renewable energy consumption leads to women’s autonomy. In contrast, females’ share in the labor force participation rate leads to an increase in renewable energy consumption. Thus, it is evident that there is a positive role of women in the country’s sustainable development.

“…This perspective can assist people in interpreting problems and signals with an integral and long-term vision that is able to analyze the future consequences of COVID-19 policies. Thus, previous research has found that environmental concern is associated with greater long-term risk perceptions -for example, regarding health and environment connection ( Subiza-Pérez et al, 2020 )-, and that some of these risk perceptions, like heat-related health burdens, make people more oriented to health policies ( Ban et al, 2019 ; Madrigano et al, 2018 ).…”

“…It has been postulated that females take fewer risks and have a higher knowledge and awareness of risk than males (24,25). Therefore, females are more likely to engage in safety practices than males (25)(26)(27)(28). In addition, female farmers are generally more concerned about health effects from pesticide exposure (24,29).…”

ObjectiveThis cross-sectional study aimed to examine farmers' knowledge, awareness, practices regarding pesticide use, and prevalence of health symptoms related to pesticides exposure among farmers who applied organophosphates (OP) and pyrethroids (PY).MethodsData regarding demographic variables and health symptoms pertinent to pesticide use was collected from 67 farmers who applied OP and 50 farmers who applied PY using interviews from January to March 2021.ResultsThe farmers who applied OP had lower knowledge, awareness, and prevention practices regarding pesticide use than those who applied PY. After adjustment of covariate variables, the farmers who applied OP had a significantly higher prevalence of respiratory conditions (OR = 8.29 for chest pain, OR = 6.98 for chest tightness, OR = 27.54 for dry throat, and OR = 5.91 for cough), neurological symptoms (OR = 10.62 for fatigue and OR = 6.76 for paresthesia), and neurobehavioral symptoms (OR = 13.84 for poor concentration, OR = 3.75 for short term memory, and OR = 8.99 for insomnia) related to pesticide exposure than those who applied PY.ConclusionOur findings suggest that OP had a more adverse effect on human health than PY, resulting in a higher prevalence of pesticide-related symptoms. The outcomes of this study have the benefit of providing vital information for all stakeholders with regard to the implementation of safe practices in the utilization of personal protective equipment (PPE) and pesticide use in a health intervention and health promotion program.
