The data presented in the discussion and findings of the paper have been analyzed and interpreted in the context of the study derived from doctoral research.

In this study, using OECD Countries 2000-2019 annual data, renewable energy in the OECD Countries (Particulate Matter) PM2.5[1] and economic growth. With the work, it is hoped that the contribution of renewable energies to economic growth by acting on the fact that renewable energy can reduce costs and air pollution. For analyzes, It was used “Johansen Cointegration Test” and “Error Correction Model”. According to this; there was a positive relationship between economic growth and renewable energy and a long-term negative relationship between PM2.5.   [1] PM, hava kirliliği için yaygın bir proxy göstergesidir. Diğer kirleticilerden daha fazla insanı etkiler. PM’nin ana bileşenleri sülfat, nitratlar, amonyak, sodyum klorür, siyah karbon, mineral tozu ve sudur. Havada asılı duran organik ve inorganik maddelerin katı ve sıvı parçacıklarının karmaşık bir karışımından oluşur. 10 mikron veya daha küçük çaplı partiküller (≤ PM10) akciğerlerin derinliklerine nüfuz edebilir ve yerleşebilirken, sağlığa daha fazla zarar veren partiküller 2,5 mikron veya daha küçük (≤ PM2.5)çaplı partiküllerdir. PM2.5 akciğer bariyerini geçebilir ve kan sistemine girebilir. Parçacıklara kronik maruziyet, kardiyovasküler ve solunum yolu hastalıklarının yanı sıra akciğer kanseri geliştirme riskine katkıda bulunur (WHO, 2020).

This work covers the dissemination of climate change adaptation information in arid and semi-arid regions of Kenya with the aim of improving the adaptive capacity of smallholder farmers through dissemination of well package technologies referred to as agro-advisories.

This paper aims to evaluate the current position of pragmatics in the field of second language acquisition (SLA) with focus on teaching of English as a foreign language (TEFL). First it attempts to reach an overall understanding of pragmatics by looking into its history and its main definitions in the relative literature. Building on this understanding, pragmatics is given a definition that suits the SLA paradigm, including second language learning and teaching (SLLT). Then the concept of pragmatic competence will be discussed and how it can be achieved. This paves the way for shedding light on the status of teaching of pragmatics within the field of SLA/TEFL. This will include its representation in published TEFL materials and the difficulties that face assessing pragmatic competence.

Comparing the mode of health crisis management in the four distinct jurisdictions of China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and the United Kingdom, this article considers how varying trust-transparency mixes provide the context for understanding the public governance of the Covid 19 pandemic. The case of Covid 19 illustrates a trust-transparency paradox, whereby trust requires transparency (witness the reaction to early attempts in China to deny the virus and control information), but transparency can undermine trust (insofar as it focuses attention on the malfunctioning of liberal democracies and their uneven management of the crisis). Trust (inter-personal, civil society, political) is key to controlling the virus in the immediate sense, while transparency (and openness) is the precondition for a longer term resilient and sustainable policy response. The relationship between transparency and trust makes most sense in the context of open societies, where these concepts can be meaningfully investigated and correlated. The task of disinterested political leadership falls particularly on the shoulders of the main democracies that should work to guarantee global health governance.

The present experimental study was conducted to broader awareness and understanding about the relationship of motor performance with intelligence among working and non-working women. 100 women 50 working and 50 non-working inducted randomly in a randomized group design to study that how do environment richness adds into performance and how such is related with intelligence? It was assumed that motor performance and intelligence could have some link with working environment richness? The results revealed that intelligence has a relationship with visual motor learning and working environment richness that contributes towards the improvement of visual motor learning among working and non-working women.

There is a large reservoir of publicly available data that could be used to better understand the population risk caused by the novel corona virus SARS-COV 2. However, important questions subject to public debate have not been sufficiently addressed with empirical data so far. Based on data published by official sources covering the period from March 02 to May 31, the impact of general testing activity in Germany on the number of confirmed cases was investigated with a linear regression model. The model yielded an adjusted R square of .07, which was statistically significant but numerically too small to explain a substantial part of the variation observed. For the same period, the relationship between changes in public mobility and the number of confirmed cases was analyzed. A strong correlation (-.51) was found for mobility and confirmed cases on the same day, which decreased with an increasing time lag. The correlation was stronger (-.68) when the date of reporting was used as a basis for confirmed cases rather than the date of first symptoms. These findings suggest that public mobility decreased in response to infection numbers reported rather than mobility restrictions having an impact on case numbers. Two important sources of bias are discussed that should be considered for disease modelling based on public surveillance data. The strong initial increase of case numbers observed in some countries might be an artifact of the national testing policy. Furthermore, the numbers are subject to a strong negative selection bias which does not allow for valid conclusions on the population. There is a continued and growing demand for representative data to arrive at a more realistic picture of the true population-based hazard potential of this novel virus

The acceptance of electronic laboratory information system (LIS) is gradually increasing in developing countries. However, the issue of time effectiveness due to computerization is less clear as there is fewer accessible information. One of the key issues for laboratorians is their indecision with LISs’ would-be effect of time on their work. A polyclinic in Ghana was in the process of implementing electronic LIS. Several of the laboratorians did not have knowledge and skill in computing and there were disagreeing views on the time effectiveness of the LIS after implementation. The management of the polyclinic laboratory was concerned to assess time advantageousness of recording data when using the electronic LIS compared with paper-based LIS. Five randomly selected laboratorians were provided two sheets of paper with tables to document the time they spent for both paper-based and electronic LIS. Data were collected for a total of 230 records,115 electronic LIS and 115 paper-based LIS. The t-test (mean-comparison test) was computed to compare the means of both electronic and paperbased LIS times. There was a statistical significant difference in the time spent between electronic and paper-based LIS. The time spent between paper-based and electronic LIS was 0.41 minutes (95% CI 0.15 to 0.66) longer than in electronic LIS. LIS can be adopted in polyclinics without having significant negative impact on time spent between electronic and paper-based LIS. More time–motion studies that include laboratorians are however necessary in order to get a more complete picture of time spent between electronic and paper-based LIS.

Role of presence ‘proximity’ (the time spend with disabled child) of the parents both mother and father studied. 200 parents of disabled children participated. These parents belonged to disabled children studying in four disabled children schools those selected out of 20 schools located in a district with a draw. The participants after informed consent were administered Psychological Wellbeing Scale, Proximity Duration Questionnaire and Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale individually assuming a could be relationship. SPSS analysis revealed that proximity was significantly negatively correlated with psychological well-being and significantly positively linked with unhappiness, anxiety and strain among participants. Moreover, well-being found significantly negatively correlated with depression, anxiety and stress among. The importance of factor presence proximity emerged in special children caregiving. More studies would contribute more.

Justice expectation of crowd workers in German speaking countries are studied empirically on the basis of 36 qualitative interviews and a survey of 230 crowdworkers.

The nuclear, blended, grandparents as parents, adoptive, foster and single parent families were studied to compare the contributory role of different ‘relational influences’ and spouses role in family happiness, 300 spouses 150 male and 150 female were studied with Dyadic Adjustment Scale and Marital Adjustment Test? ANOVA and t-test results reflected no significant contributory differences in family happiness in all types in both conditions; however, nuclear family type surpassing individualism and collectivism influences emerged as a more happy family as is preferred in Western cultures. More studies are recommended for generalization.

Background: There is lack of information on impact of Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic on routine cancer care delivery. Aims and Objectives : To evaluate the change in Day Care Chemotherapy (DCC) and Out Patient Department (OPD) patient numbers before and after COVID-19 national lockdown. Material and Methods: Demographic data, diagnosis, type and frequency of chemotherapy delivered in Day Care between 1st February 2020 to 31st July 2020 were retrieved. Out Patient Department daily patient numbers were collected. Descriptive statistics, Odds ratio, Chi-square and Student T test were used to measure change in pattern of DDC and OPD patient numbers before and after 24th March 2020 (day of Lockdown). Pearson correlation coefficient was used to measure the strength of correlation between rise in COVID-19 cases and patient numbers. Results: 3192 DCC and 8209 OPD visits were recorded in 126 working days. Median age was 47 years( SD + 19.06). Breast (17%) and Gall bladder( 15%) were the most common cancers receiving chemotherapy. There was a significant decrease in number of DCC delivered in post COVID lockdown [ mean 21.97 ( + 9.7)] compared to pre COVID lockdown [mean 33.30 (+11.4)], t=4.11, p = 0.001.There was a significant decrease in number of OPD visits in post COVID lockdown [ mean 47.13 ( + 18.8)] compared to pre COVID lockdown [mean 89.91 (+30.0)], t=7.09, p = 0.001. The odds of receiving weekly chemotherapy over non weekly regimes significantly decreased post COVID lockdown with Odds ratio of 0.52 (95% CI, 0.36-0.75) with Chi square of 12.57, p =0.001. Daily COVID cases in State and OPD patient number were found to be moderately positively correlated on Pearson correlation coefficient, r = 0.35,p =0.001. Conclusion: There was a significant fall in patient visit and chemotherapy cycles immediately after lockdown. The numbers increased later despite rise in COVID-19 cases.

Traditional production is carried out using fossil fuels. In recent years, the destructive effects of fossil fuel elimination especially on human health and the environment became prominent. This effect leads to an increase in health expenditures (HE), and health problems that are severe and require long term therapies. To counter this problem, some countries have taken some measures to mini the effects of fossil fuels. One of these measures is called “Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry” or LULUCF for short. LULUCF aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere by natural means that are cheap. In this regard, this paper aims to analyze the effects of harmful gases of total emissions in terms of health expenditures both including LULUCF (LI) and excluding LULUCF (LE). Panel data methodology and SPSS Path (Structural Equation) Model were used and cover G7 countries between 1990 and 2016. It was found that there is no linear relationship between LE and HE and LI has no effect on HE. Path analysis showed a negative correlation between LI total emission and SH and a positive correlation between LE total emission and HE.

A descriptive facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted in the University of the Medical Sciences and Technology (UMST).

To slow down the spread of the Coronavirus, the population has been instructed to stay at home if possible. This measure consequently has a major impact on our daily mobility behaviour. But who is being affected, and how? The MOBIS-COVID-19 research project, an initiative of ETH Zurich and the University of Basel, is a continuation of the original MOBIS study. The aim of the project is to get a picture of how the crisis is affecting mobility and everyday life in Switzerland.
