Summary: This paper examines the economic and ethical consequences of different credit market regulations, including usury laws, complete prohibition of interest, and bankruptcy laws. It shows that act-based regulations are more effective in deterring lenders, but may also lead to inequity and societal risk. The choice of implementing credit market regulations may depend on the regulator's ethical commitment towards growth and reduction of inequity.

Summary: Technological advancements in Connected and Automated Vehicles have led to new challenges in the areas of technology, law, and society. The most pressing challenge is deterring criminal behavior through the adoption of cybersecurity protocols and regulations. This study uses systems theory to develop a dynamic modeling tool to analyze the indirect consequences of potential cybersecurity regulations for CAVs in the medium to long term. Decision-makers should focus on leveraging automakers' innovation, sharing risks in cybersecurity, and capitalizing on CAV-generated data.

Summary: Ship-tracks, which are formed by ship-emitted aerosols interacting with low clouds, play a significant role in cloud physics, maritime shipping, and fuel regulation. Using deep learning models, we have created the first global climatology map of ship-tracks based on satellite data analysis. The frequency of ship-tracks is more than 10 times higher than previously estimated, and its fluctuations reflect changes in cross-ocean trade, shipping activity, and fuel regulations. Fuel regulation can impact both the frequency of ship-tracks and shipping routes due to cost considerations. The recent fuel regulation in 2020, coupled with the COVID-19 pandemic, has led to the lowest ship-track frequency in recent decades and may mark the beginning of a low-frequency era. Based on current estimates, this regulation has reduced the aerosol indirect forcing from ship emissions by 46% or between 0.02 and 0.27 W m(-2).

Summary: Vehicle emissions, particularly particulate matter, contribute significantly to urban air pollution. Regulations worldwide, including those in the EU, have introduced measures to monitor and control PM emissions by implementing particulate number measurement methods. Other countries, such as China and India, are also beginning to adopt similar approaches to address vehicle emissions.

Summary: Jehovah's Witnesses are compliant with national laws regarding smoking, but not when it comes to blood treatment, as their group rules take precedence over state rules, leading to a violation of national regulations regarding blood transfusions.

Summary: The study assessed the impacts of regulations and laws enhancing the management of e-waste on local residents and dismantling workers in China. The results showed a significant decrease in the levels of polychlorinated biphenyls, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, and organophosphorus flame retardants in hair samples after the implementation of legislation and regulations in the area since 2011.

Summary: European countries are more advanced in providing legislation and regulatory documents aimed at protecting people at entertainment venues compared to the rest of the world. The regulatory measures included in the documents range from sound level limitations to provision of 'quiet spaces'. Future research is needed to assess the effectiveness of these regulatory measures in reducing the risk associated with sound exposure at music venues.

Summary: Adopting China's land supply policy, this study finds that land supply admittance regulations have a significant reduction effect on urban carbon emissions. The mechanism behind this reduction is mainly through the improvement of industrial structure and green production efficiency. The effectiveness of these regulations is influenced by various factors.

Summary: This study investigated the understanding of healthcare workers regarding the response and relevant laws and regulations to public health events. The majority of medical staff had a good understanding of prevention and control measures in a pandemic context and their legal responsibilities. However, a significant proportion of medical staff had limited knowledge of Level-1 response to public health events and its relevant laws and regulations. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen promotion and education to enhance healthcare workers' response capabilities and legal awareness in public health events.

Summary: This study analyzes the impact of environmental regulation on net carbon emissions in 30 province-level administrative regions in China. The results indicate that enhanced environmental regulation does not necessarily reduce net carbon emissions. Command-and-control environmental regulation has a green paradox effect, market-incentive environmental regulation has varying effects, and public-participation and voluntary environmental program of firm regulation can reduce net carbon emissions.

Summary: The impact of corporate political spending on environmental policy has attracted significant attention, but few studies have empirically analyzed the aggregate effect of corporate spending. This study examines the impact of corporate independent spending bans on state environmental policy by studying the repeal of these bans in 23 states after the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision in 2010. Through difference-in-differences tests, the study finds no evidence that the removal of independent expenditure bans influenced state environmental policy or overall policy liberalism. These results raise questions about the relationship between corporate political spending and environmental preferences.

Summary: At least 60% of Chile's urban population live in cities where ambient PM2.5 exceeds the standard, with significant downward trends observed in most cities with Air Quality Management Plans. Overall, 56% of the urban population in Chile has experienced a significant decrease in ambient PM2.5, with smaller and more polluted cities showing higher reduction rates compared to cleaner or larger urban areas.

Summary: Environmental pollution is a global issue that requires attention. Green technology innovation is seen as an effective strategy to address this issue and achieve sustainability. This study examines the impact of environmental regulation on the relationship between green innovation and CO2 emissions reduction in China, finding that regulation positively moderates the impact of green knowledge innovation on emissions reduction. Investment-based regulation is the most effective in promoting green innovation, followed by command-and-control-based regulation.
