Unpacking the asymmetric impact of exchange rate volatility on trade flows: A study of selected developed and developing Asian economies by Umar Nawaz Kayani (17131781)

“…On the other hand, decreased volatility hurts exports of Japan. As for the long-run effects of exchange rate volatility on imports, we found that increased volatility boosts imports of Korea. …”

Heart Rate Variability Analysis Reveals a Non-monotonic Relationship between Humanin Concentration and Cardiac Autonomic Regulation by Feng, Samuel

“…Oxidative stress (OS) has been shown to have a negative effect on the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and on ANS modulation of heart rate. Mitochondrial ATP production is the main source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and hence the regulation of ROS becomes an important issue in maintaining optimal ANS functionality. …”

Global age-sex-specific fertility, mortality, healthy life expectancy (HALE), and population estimates in 204 countries and territories, 1950–2019: a comprehensive demographic anal... by Haidong, Wang

“…Independent estimates of HIV-specific mortality generated by an epidemiological analysis of HIV prevalence surveys and antenatal clinic serosurveillance and other sources were incorporated into the estimates in countries with large epidemics. Annual and single-year age estimates of net migration and population for each country and territory were generated using a Bayesian hierarchical cohort component model that analysed estimated age-specific fertility and mortality rates along with 1250 censuses and 747 population registry years. …”
