The aggregate growth function can be illustrated using a typical Cobb–Douglas production function with a constant rate of returns which is as follows: $${Y}_{i,t}=f\left({K}_{i,t}, {L}_{i,t}\right)$$ (1) $${Y}_{i,t}=A{{K}_{i,t}}^{\ss }{{L}_{i,t}}^{1-\...
For example, there are virtually no poor elderly couples and although there are a large number of poor single elderly, their income shortfalls are relatively small and are highly concentrated near the poverty line; the poverty rate among families with children is quite low but their incomes on ...
(Anon, 2023,MDG Gap Task Force Report 2015, 2015). These factors underscore the necessity for systemic improvements to meet the SDGs by 2030. For instance analysis fostered by ML technique shows that the extreme poverty rate decreased from 36.2% in 1990 to 9.2% in 2017, it subsequently rose...

Cryptosporidium has been detected in foods such as fruits and vegetables in several countries globally, with an overall positivity rate of 6.0% (375/6210) [66]. Another characteristic of Cryptosporidium is its wide range of host animal species. Over 260 species, including mammals, reptiles, birds...
To support these reforms, the government abolished tuition fees and invested heavily in educational infrastructure, significantly increasing the transition rate from Grade 7 to Form 1. The transition rate increased to approximately 85% by the late 1980s from sub-60% in the late 1970s (Maravanyika...
Adolescence is also a time period in which the brain is developing rapidly, and prefrontal regions are developing at a slower rate than subcortical affective systems. Ziegler et al. used an innovative imaging technique known as MT, a marker of myelination and found that childhood disadvantage was...
