The present study examines the productive day’s loss of local communities in opencast coal mining region Angul (Talcher) district Odisha, due to respiratory illness, by using dose-response function model. is estimated terms restricted activities or work days lost, severe illness (RI), induced air pollution. Health diaries are analyzed through seasonal household survey predict likelihood RI-related sickness (in days) residents (due pollution). Poisson and negative binomial regression fitted...

Although shadow education in India has been practice for a long time, the scale grown dramatically recent years, with size of industry ranging between $40 and $70 billion. Drawing from five rounds National Sample Survey data sets on education, study examines trends socioeconomic determinants participation India. It also addresses time burden students’ learning outcomes by using Indian Human Development database. The findings state that households’ status, educational level head, urban...

Objective The study attempts (a) to compute the degree of socio-economic inequity in health care utilization and (b) decompose analyze drivers among adults (20–59 years) India during periods 2014 2017–18. Data source analysis has been done by using unit level data Social Consumption: Health (Schedule number 25.0), National sample Survey (NSS), corresponding 71st 75 th rounds. Methods Odds ratios were computed through logistic regression examine effect status on seeking behaviour ailing adult...

<i>Background:</i> The pollen grain of the <i>Areca catechu</i> L. tree is airborne and allergenic. This study aimed to know role this as a source aeroallergen with effect on emergency asthma hospitalization, isolate its important allergic fraction check cross-reaction betel nut. <i>Methods:</i><i>Areca</i> was monitored Burkard sampler. Determination allergenic activities studied by in vivo vitro analyses. Asthma hospitalization data were...

The present study is based on the remote opencast coal mining region of a mineral-rich Indian state, Odisha. Our estimation confirms our primary hypothesis that proximity to mining, triggers likelihood respiratory illness (RI). Moreover, investigation affirms presence selection bias possibly due underreporting in self-reported RI episodes. We try address above causality through pathways both exogeneity and endogeneity RI. After controlling for episodes, it evident effect reporting related...

Background: Carica papaya L. is a fruit yielding tree, wildly grown or cultivated in the tropics and subtropics. Its pollen grain has been reported to be airborne cause immunoglobulin E (IgE)‐mediated hypersensitivity. Objective: To conduct long‐term aerobiological study on pollen, along with aeroallergenic particles originating from it identify vis‐à‐vis characterize an important IgE‐reactive component present this pollen. Methods: The seasonal diurnal periodicities of C. were recorded...

We assess the effects of socioeconomic inequity on healthcare utilization among individuals with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in India using indirect standardization method Erreygers' corrected concentration index. analyze both horizontal and vertical inequities linearly decompose respective to identify major factors driving kinds inequities. Our findings show that actual is highly concentrated rich CVD individuals. After controlling for confounding health needs, found be significantly...

This paper assesses socio-economic inequalities in self-reported morbidities (SRMs) among households India. Particularly, we addressed two questions. Is socio-economic-related inequality SRMs significantly pro-rich or pro-poor? What are the major and regional determinants contributing to inequality? study is based on National Sample Survey 71st round (2014). We calculated equity ratio concentration index (CI) assess inequality. Further, applied probit regression decomposition of CI identify...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects environmental regulation on green R&D, as well characterize conditions under which Porter hypothesis, both weak strict version, may or not hold. Design/methodology/approach authors use a simple two‐stage model with R&D and endogenously determined abatement costs address these issues. Findings In monopoly framework, identify channel arising out replacement effect that increase incentives following stricter regulation. It was...

Background: This study highlights the allergenicity and allergenic components of pollen Phoenix sylvestris Roxb. (PS), or date sugar palm, which is predominantly airborne in air Greater Calcutta. Methods: A 2‐year aerobiologic survey was performed by Burkard sampler. PS extract used skin tests allergic patients, fractionated (NH 4 ) 2 SO SephacrylS‐200 column. The each fraction checked test IgE ELISA inhibition. principal fraction, Fr.IIa, separated 11% SDS–PAGE, its confirmed inhibition...

We examine the welfare implications of joint venture formation between an MNC and a firm from less developed country (LDC). For symmetric firms greater market size, is incentive for formation. Moreover, reducing both high, as well low levels demand. However, if more efficient compared to LDC then results are different. find that smaller size enhancing

Abstract Despite progress in maternal and child health, significant gap high inequity persist unmet health needs, creating a barrier to universal coverage. Previous studies have analysed of outcomes healthcare availability, but limited research is available on delayed or not‐seeking treatment. Research conducted treatment lacks emphasis vulnerable groups; women children. The objective fill this by estimating the contribution socio‐economic factors inequality needs This study uses...
