Mineral resource rents and green innovation: A way forward for green innovation in BRICS economies
Reimagining energy futures: The role of nuclear power, green growth, and government effectiveness in sustainability
This study explores how nuclear power can shape the future of energy systems in the United States, with a focus on green growth, energy efficiency, and government effectiveness. The main goal is to examine how factors like load capacity factor (LCF), green growth (GRG), nuclear energy consumption (NEC), government effectiveness (GVE), and environmental policy stringency (EPST) contribute to sustainable energy outcomes. Using a unique empirical ap…

Seed Inoculation With Bacillus subtilis Mitigates Cadmium Stress in Maize by Remodelling the Soil Microbiome and Ionome
Agricultural soils contamination with cadmium (Cd) is a major driver of land degradation. It threatens soil biological integrity, crop productivity, and food security because of its high toxicity, persistence, and bio accumulative nature. The study aimed at assessing the potential of seed inoculation with Bacillus subtilis as a microbe‐assisted strategy to mitigate Cd‐induced soil degradation and plant stress in maize. The experiment consisted of…
Primary Sector Value Addition and Environmental Performance in BRICS: The Roles of Environmental Policy Stringency and Green Innovation
In recent decades, the BRICS countries have experienced rapid economic growth, much of which has been driven by agriculture, natural resource extraction, and industrial exports. However, the continued expansion of these sectors is accompanied by growing environmental vulnerabilities. While value addition in agriculture, forestry, and fishing is crucial for development, it is also widely acknowledged as a contributor to land degradation. Against t…

Unravelling the Knot: Understanding Why the Taliban Are Unwilling to Act Against the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan
This article explores why the Taliban remain unwilling to act against or coerce the TTP to end its insurgency against Pakistan. It argues that the Taliban are concerned that a crackdown on the TTP, with which they share deep-rooted ideological, political, and fraternal bonds, could create rifts between the group’s leadership because many Taliban leaders believe that supporting the TTP is a religious and national obligation. Furthermore, the Talib…
Global burden of 288 causes of death and life expectancy decomposition in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease…
BACKGROUND: Regular, detailed reporting on population health by underlying cause of death is fundamental for public health decision making. Cause-specific estimates of mortality and the subsequent effects on life expectancy worldwide are valuable metrics to gauge progress in reducing mortality rates. These estimates are particularly important following large-scale mortality spikes, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. When systematically analysed, mort…
Global, regional, and national burden of disorders affecting the nervous system, 1990–2021: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021

Previous publications from the Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factor Study estimated the burden of 15 neurological conditions in 2015 and 2016, but these analyses did not include neurodevelopmental disorders, as defined by…
Validity of Governance-Prosperity: Fresh Evidence Under Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Methods
The purpose of this study is to determine whether governance has an impact on per capita income. The governance-prosperity hypothesis was validated using data from 48 high-income countries. This study examines all governance indicators in sample countries rather than one that addresses specific effects. We find that good governance enhances prosperity, while FDI, exports, and urbanization positively impact effective governance outcomes using homo…
Pakistan’s neutrality in the Russia-Ukraine war: Navigating great power politics
This contribution argues that Pakistan's decision to maintain neutrality in the Russia-Ukraine war is influenced by its policy to avoid entrapment in "camp politics", signaling a departure from its longstanding strategic dilemma of choosing between major powers such as the US, Russia and China. It also argues that Islamabad's unwillingness to denounce Russia for invading Ukraine and violating its sovereignty and territorial integrity demonstrates…
Toward sustainable consumption: Exploring the role of environmental innovation and international trade on consumption‐based carbon emissions in OECD countries
Environmental degradation is a severe problem around the globe, which includes a range of worries such as weather extremes, biodiversity loss and heatwaves. The scientific community has widely recognized the urgent need to address these challenges and transition towards sustainable sustainability. One key aspect of sustainability is the concept of eco‐innovation, which involves the production processes that minimize ecological impact of productiv…
The Taliban‐TTP Nexus And Pakistan's Rising Security Challenges
Why has the militant group Tehrik‐i‐Taliban Pakistan (TTP) become a bigger threat to Pakistan since the Taliban's return to rule in Afghanistan? This article contends that the Taliban's determination to provide the TTP with sanctuary and support—including operational freedom and mobility, arms and ammunition, recruitment and military training, and financial and logistical assistance—has been the central factor behind the TTP's resurgence. The evi…

How the Islamic State Rivalry Pushes the Taliban to Extremes
Before establishing the second Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan in August 2021, the Taliban promised they would not revert to the repressive policies and stringent interpretations of Islam they had imposed during their previous regime. However, since the US withdrawal—and despite financial incentives from the West and diplomatic pleadings within the region—the Taliban have reneged on this vow. Why have the Taliban not moderated? This article argues…

The Double-Edged Sword of Urbanization and Its Nexus with Eco-Efficiency in China
Urbanization has made tremendous contributions to China's economic development since its economic reforms and opening up. At the same time, population agglomeration has aggravated environmental pollution and posed serious challenges to China's environment. This article empirically investigates the impacts of China's urbanization on eco-efficiency, comprehensively reflecting economic growth, resource input, and waste discharge. We first measured t…

International trade and environmental performance in top ten‐emitters countries: The role of eco‐innovation and renewable energy consumption
The global economy is rising continuously, with a 3–4% aggregate annual growth in output, which poses a severe threat to the environment due to a consistent rise in the use of fossil fuel. Given the disastrous climate change due to the industrialization and increasingly growing demands for energy, countries around the globe are devising strategies to curb the release of greenhouse gases . This study examines the role of environmental innovation, …
The specter of hate and intolerance: Sectarian-jihadi nexus and the persecution of Hazara Shia community in Pakistan
Islam is the key character of Pakistan’s national identity, but ironically, it has also become a tool used by different sectarian/jihadi outfits to perpetrate violence against different religious minorities in Pakistan. The targeted persecution of the Hazara Shia community in Balochistan certainly stands among such cases. Since 2003, a Sunni militant group, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ), has been perpetrating targeted violence against the Hazara Shias …
