How to progress towards sustainable development by leveraging renewable energy sources, technological advances, and human capital
No full textIn analyzing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), studies usually examine the environmental dimension, but developing countries must also achieve economic and social development. Against this background, this study analyzes the determinants of the Sustainable Development Index, which considers 17 different SDGs, for the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa). The study considers the disaggregated renewable energy consumption (wind, solar, and hydropower), information and communication technologies (ICT) and human capital as control variables and examines their impact on the SDGs for the period 2000–2023. Using the augmented mean group (AMG) and the novel bias-corrected method of moments (BCMM), the study seeks to answer the question of whether renewable energy, human capital or technological progress are effective on the SDGs. The AMG estimator indicate that human capital development, hydropower and ICT contribute to the achievement of the SDGs, while the use of solar and wind energy has no significant impact. The results of the BCMM confirm the results of the AMG. The study recommends that the BRICS countries invest more in ICT and human capital and move towards technologies that increase efficiency in the use of solar and wind energy as key policy options for achieving the SDGs

No full textWhile failure of transfer of passive immunity (FTPI) is associated with high morbidity and mortality in beef calves, adequate transfer of passive immunity (ATPI) positively affects calf health, survival and performance. This study was aimed at the assessment of alterations in the serum biochemical indicators of beef calves with different passive immunity statuses. Blood samples were collected from 1-to 7-day-old, healthy beef calves (n = 51) by jugular venipuncture. Serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentrations were measured with the radial immunodiffusion (RID) assay. IgG concentrations of = 24 g/l were described as indicating ATPI. Based on their serum IgG concentrations, calves were assigned to one of the passive immunity groups (FTPI, n = 15; moderate TPI, n = 10; ATPI, n = 26). Differences among the passive immunity groups for the biochemical indicators were determined by one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) or Kruskal Wallis test according to normality assumption of parameters. The gamma-glutamyl-transferase (GGT) activity, and serum total protein (STP), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P) and cholesterol concentrations of the beef calves with ATPI were significantly higher than those with FTPI. Serum magnesium concentrations of the beef calves with ATPI were greater than those with FTPI. Serum aspartate aminotransferase activity, urea, albumin, beta-hydroxybutyric acid, and non-esterified fatty acid concentrations did not differ between the groups. In conclusion, serum concentrations of biochemical indices such as STP, GGT, cholesterol, Ca, and P were altered in the beef calves with FTPI
