Summary: There is a strong linkage between environmental mitigation and economic growth, with heterogeneous effects observed in the top ten remittance-receiving economies. Technological effects and remittance inflow show an inverted N-shaped relationship with environmental pollution, while the interaction effects of financial development and remittance inflow have negative and significant impacts on carbon dioxide emissions.

Summary: Renewable energy technology (RET) trade has been associated with more, longer, and more intense trade conflicts compared to other trade conflicts from 1995 to 2016, contradicting the belief that renewables will reduce conflict. However, for the period 2017-2020, RET trade has become significantly less conflictive than other trade. This suggests the need for improved conflict-resolution institutions for RET and the establishment of specific institutions to govern trade in emerging technologies.

Summary: The objective of this study was to analyze and compare reimbursement systems in Poland and other countries. The findings show differences in reimbursement application process, independence of the agencies, and cost-effectiveness threshold. Additionally, most countries have specific mechanisms to improve access to expensive specialty drugs, but reimbursement systems lack consistency in decision-making processes.

Summary: The environmental situation is seriously degraded due to the spread of greenhouse gases. This study examines the impact of financial inclusion and renewable energy consumption on CO2 emissions, taking into account other factors. The results show that real GDP, renewable energy consumption, and technological advancement contribute to reducing CO2 emissions, while non-renewable energy consumption and financial inclusion contribute to increasing emissions levels.

Summary: The transition from conventional fossil fuels to renewable energy is necessary due to increasing energy consumption and declining national energy production. However, increasing the renewable energy mix poses challenges, particularly in terms of cost-efficiency. To address this, massive energy incentive policies are being developed to make renewable energy competitive and accelerate its adoption. This study provides a comprehensive overview of tariff incentives related to renewable energy, with a specific focus on developing and developed countries. The comparison between Indonesia and other countries, as well as the identification of an ideal policy for renewable energy in Indonesia, are also discussed. The implementation of energy incentive policies varies among countries, depending on factors such as potential, technological readiness, and political and economic conditions. FIT policies have proven to be more efficient in increasing capacity and stimulating research and development, compared to other policy mechanisms. Given Indonesia's stage of economic development and characteristics of its electricity system, a price adjustment model similar to that used in East Asia is deemed more suitable for application in Indonesia.

Summary: With declining smoking prevalence, hardcore smoking had also decreased and quit rates improved. Moderately correlated MPOWER scores with hardcore smoking percentage were observed in both sexes, with a significant correlation found among women only. Monitoring changes in quitting and hardcore smoking behaviors is necessary for planning cessation services.

Summary: This paper introduces a device called Battolyser, which combines flow battery and electrolyser to efficiently produce hydrogen. By using stochastic modelling, the researchers assessed the economic benefits of adding Battolyser to a wind farm and compared it with adding a battery or an electrolyser. The results show that adding Battolyser or a battery to a wind farm can be economically viable, while electrolyser remains too expensive.
