JAMA Network Open, 7(11), Article e2446591. https://doi.org/10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2024.46591

Importance
Health-related quality of life is a critical health outcome and a clinically important patient-reported outcome in clinical trials. Hearing loss is associated with poorer health-related quality-of-life in older adults.

Objective
T... Read More about A Hearing Intervention and Health-Related Quality of Life in Older Adults: A Secondary Analysis of the ACHIEVE Randomized Clinical Trial.

Digital Financial Inclusion, the Belt and Road Initiative, and the Paris Agreement: Impacts on Energy Transition Grid Costs (2024)
Journal Article
Zubair Chishti, M., Xia, X., Du, A. M., & Ozkan, O. (online). Digital Financial Inclusion, the Belt and Road Initiative, and the Paris Agreement: Impacts on Energy Transition Grid Costs. Finance Research Letters, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.frl.2024.106517

We investigate how digital financial inclusion, the Belt and Road Initiative, and the Paris Agreement influence the energy transition grid cost. We propose two new Kendall and Spearman wavelet cross-quantile correlation methods and utilize data from...
