Stillbirths and complications from preterm birth are two of the leading causes neonatal deaths across globe. Lower- to middle-income countries (LMICs) experiencing some highest rates these adverse outcomes. Research has suggested that environmental determinants, such as extreme heat, can increase risk stillbirth. Under climate change, heat events have become more severe frequent occurring in differential seasonal patterns. Little is known about how affects stillbirth LMICs. Thus, it...
Background Globally, access to life-saving vaccines has improved considerably in the past 5 decades. However, progress started slow down and even reverse recent years. Understanding subnational heterogeneities essential child immunization will be critical for closing global vaccination gap. Methods findings We use information over 220,000 children across 1,366 administrative regions 43 low- middle-income countries (LMICs) from most Demographic Health Surveys. estimate coverage at national...
• Excessive rainfall increases the risk of child stunting in India. Children from socially disadvantaged households display higher vulnerability to such shocks. Investment women's education can significantly reduce stunting.
Exposure to high and low ambient temperatures increases the risk of neonatal mortality, but contribution climate change temperature-related deaths is unknown. We use Demographic Health Survey (DHS) data (n = 40,073) from 29 low- middle-income countries estimate burden between 2001 2019 that attributable change. find across all countries, 4.3% were associated with non-optimal temperatures. Climate was responsible for 32% (range: 19-79%) heat-related deaths, while reducing respective...
India is expected to experience an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events coming decades, which poses serious risks human health wellbeing country.This paper aims shed light on possible detrimental effects monsoon shocks childhood undernutrition using Demographic Health Survey 2015-16, combination with geo-referenced climate data.Undernutrition captured through measures height-for-age, weight-for-height, stunting wasting among children aged 0-59 months. The...
BackgroundPrecipitation variability is a potentially important driver of infectious diseases that are leading causes child morbidity and mortality worldwide. Disentangling the links between precipitation disease risk crucial in changing climate. We aimed to investigate reported symptoms (cough, fever, diarrhoea) children younger than 5 years.MethodsWe used nationally representative survey data collected 2014 2019 from Demographic Health Survey (DHS) surveys for 32 low-income middle-income...
Climate-sensitive infectious diseases are an issue of growing concern due to global warming and the related increase in incidence extreme weather climate events. Diarrhea, which is strongly associated with climatic factors, remains among leading causes child death globally, disproportionately affecting populations low- middle-income countries (LMICs). We use survey data for 51 LMICs between 2000 2019 combination gridded estimate association precipitation shocks reported symptoms diarrheal...
A primary concern of public health researchers involves identifying and quantifying heterogeneous exposure effects across population subgroups. Understanding the magnitude direction these on a given scale provides ability to recommend policy prescriptions assess external validity findings. Traditional methods for effect measure modification analyses require manual model specification that is often impractical or not feasible conduct in high-dimensional settings. Recent developments machine...
Purpose Following the Arab Spring turmoil, Middle East and North African (MENA) countries’ overall instability has significantly increased which resulted in decrease of foreign direct investment (FDI) flows. The purpose this paper is to contribute research on determinants FDI inflows MENA region by examining relationship between state fragility FDI. Design/methodology/approach A panel data analysis was conducted study impact Fragile States Index (FSI) its components, namely economic, social...
► In the aftermath of worst flooding Kerala has experienced in nearly a century, we highlight urgency considering long-term health consequences floods, especially on young children.► Based recent Demographic and Health Survey data for India 2015-2016, provided evidence showing that abnormally wet conditions increased likelihood undernutrition children aged under 5 as measured by stunting wasting.► Experiencing floods during infancy, being girs with illiterate mothers making child...
Purpose This paper aims to synthesize, analyze and categorize the empirical literature on country-specific factors that affect foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows Middle East North Africa (MENA) region. Identifying gaps methodological challenges in reviewed articles, recommendations are made guide future research. Design/methodology/approach Applying systematic review methodology, content analysis is conducted of 42 relevant studies explore FDI determinants MENA region during period...
Drought stress imposes substantial constraints on the growth and production of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), a globally important cereal crop that is essential for food security. To mitigate these adverse effects, researchers are intensifying their efforts to comprehend how different genotypes respond drought stress, aiding in development sustainable breeding management strategies. This review summarized past recent research genotype-dependent responses encompassing morphological,...
Mineral dust is one of the largest natural constituents coarse particulate matter (PM10). Most these emissions originate from northern Africa, and several hundred tera-grams are emitted annually this region. Previous evidence has linked PM10 to adverse respiratory outcomes in children. However, most studies have been high-income countries (HICs) or examined other regions world, mainly Asia. Evidence low-to-middle-income (LMICs) Africa scarce. Respiratory infections leading causes under-five...

Abstract Recent evidence has shown an association between wildfire smoke and COVID-19 cases deaths. The San Francisco Bay Area, in California (USA), experienced two major concurrent public health threats 2020: the pandemic dense emitted by wildfires. This provides a unprecedented context to unravel role of acute air pollution exposure on severity. A product provided National Oceanic Atmospheric Association Hazard Mapping System was used identify counties exposed heavy summer fall 2020. Daily...
The impact of geopolitics on business activities is an undeniable reality, as reflected in the fact that a growing number companies consider geopolitical risks substantial risk to their cross-border operations.
