Most studies on the determinants of poverty do not consider that the relative importance of each of these determinants can vary depending on the degree of poverty suffered by each group of poor people. For Mexico’s case, the studies carried out so fa...

Few epidemiological studies use exposure determinants specifically tailored to assess pesticide or plant protection product (PPP) exposures when assessing presumed association between occupational exposure and health outcomes among agricultural worke...

Ecological determinants of sporotrichosis etiological agents remain poorly understood. For this reason, we performed explorations using local climate estimates to determine the temperature and humidity ranges of the environment where clinically relev...

Entrepreneurship plays a major role in national economies, being considered one of the main engines of economic growth, and an important contributor to creating new jobs and innovations. Identifying the main determinants of entrepreneurial activity i...

The study aims to identify which main macroeconomic determinants affect investment in a circular economy. The main purpose of the investment determinants in a circular economy is to determine how macroeconomic determinants such as real GDP per capita...

We study the Hankel determinant generated by a singularly perturbed Jacobi weight $w(x,s):={(1-x)}^{\alpha }{(1+x)}^{\beta }{\mathrm{e}}^{-\frac{s}{1-x}},x\in [-1,1],\alpha >0,\beta >0s\ge 0.$ If $s=0$, it is reduced to the classical Jacobi weight. For $s\&$...

Engaging firms to generate and adopt energy efficient innovation is crucial for balancing energy needs for sustainable development. In addition, a reduction in energy consumption can address environmental problems and lower production costs by reduci...

Let ${\mathcal{S}}_s^{*}$ be the class of normalized functions f defined in the open unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z:|z|<1\}$ such that the quantity $\frac{z{f}^{\prime }\left(z\right)}{f\left(z\right)}$ lies in an eight-shaped region in the right-half plane and satisf...

Empirical research critically examining the role of the corporate determinants of health has gained traction in the past few years. Many of these reports have received strong, sometimes litigious, backlash from the corporations exposed. The aim of th...

The purpose of this paper is to examine the inflation differentials and their determinants in the first twelve euro countries that formed the eurozone. We focus on only these countries to capture the effects through the last 22 years from 1999 to 202...
