This study aims to investigate the relationship between renewable energy consumption, water availability, and environmental degradation with the moderating effect of governance in the South Asian region. This study collected data for renewable energy, water availability, governance, and environmental degradation for the period of 1988 to 2018 from the World Development Indicator. In panel data estimation, if cross-sectional dependence exists, it produces biased estimates. Therefore, this study applied a newly developed technique, dynamic common correlated effect, which produces efficient estimates in the presence of cross-sectional dependence. This study found that foreign direct investment positively and significantly increases environment degradation (β = 0.69 *, * indicates the significance level at less than 1%) while renewable energy and water availability cause to reduce environment degradation (β = −0.08 **, β = −0.09 **, **indicates the significance level at less than 5%). Moreover, the study also found that governance significantly strengthens the relationship of renewable energy and water availability with environment degradation (β = 0.37 **, β = 0.24 **) while governance significantly weakens the relationship of foreign direct investment and environmental degradation (β = −0.34 *). The study suggests that South Asian countries should improve political institutions, and promote renewable energy, water availability, and clean production to improve the environment quality.

Environmental degradation is the most prominent area nowadays, especially in developing counties where high renewable energy consumption and population growth deteriorate the atmosphere of the country. Thus, the current study investigates the nexus among renewable energy consumption, economic growth (EG), population growth, foreign direct investment (FDI), and environmental degradation in South Asian countries. The covariance matrix estimators that are developed by “Driscoll and Kraay” are used in this study. The primary property of this estimator is that it does not account for the cross-sectional dependence; thus, it provides substantial, robust outcomes among the cross-sectional units while in the presence of cross-sectional dependence. The data was collected from the World Development Indicators (WDI) from 2001 to 2019. The findings exposed that positive nexus among the population growth, FDI, and environmental degradation while renewable energy consumption and EG has negative nexus with environmental degradation and also not supported the EKC hypothesis in South Asian countries. These findings suggested that the regulators should develop policies that reduce environmental degradation in the presence of high EG, energy consumption, FDI, and population growth.

This study examines the drivers of environmental degradation in [Formula: see text]. It focusses on three unresolved questions: (i) Does the inclusion of China in ASEAN panel aggravate environmental degradation, given that China is a high carbon emissions country? (ii) Does financial development moderate the impact of energy consumption on environmental degradation in ASEAN? (iii) Does urbanization moderate the impact of energy consumption on environmental degradation in ASEAN? It employs empirical strategies that account for heterogeneity, endogeneity and cross-sectional dependence. The results show that economic growth, energy consumption and non-renewable energy aggravate environmental degradation, whereas renewable energy, foreign direct investment and trade openness mitigate it. The inclusion of China in ASEAN panel weakens the EKC hypothesis. Financial development favorably moderates the effect of energy consumption on environmental degradation in ASEAN, but adversely moderates the effect in [Formula: see text]. Urbanization adversely moderates the impact of energy consumption on environmental degradation in both panels. Hence, efforts to address environmental degradation should consider these different drivers.

Abstrak Latar Belakang: Kejadian akseptor drop out tertinggi karena efek samping yaitu pada metode suntikan. KB injeksi DMPA memiliki efek samping gangguan menstruasi. Untuk menjamin lancarnya menstruasi, wanita harus mempunyai kadar lemak sebanyak 22% dari berat badannya. Kadar lemak dapat ditentukan dengan menilai berat badan seseorang melalui pengukuran Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari hubungan IMT dengan gangguan menstruasi pada akseptor KB injeksi DMPA di Puskesmas Jagir. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analitik observasional dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 67 orang meliputi akseptor KB injeksi DMPA di Puskesmas Jagir sesuai dengan kriteria inklusi. Sampling dilakukan dengan total sampling. Variabel bebas dalam penelitian ini adalah IMT pada akseptor KB injeksi DMPA, sedangkan variabel tergantung adalah gangguan menstruasi pada akseptor KB injeksi DMPA. Untuk mengetahui tingkat signifikan, data yang terkumpul akan diuji dengan uji statistik Pearson pada tingkat kemaknaan α=0,05. Hasil: Hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa sebagian besar responden memiliki IMT normal (55,2%), IMT kurus (3,0%) dan IMT overweight (41,8%). Hampir seluruhnya mengalami gangguan menstruasi (88,1%) dan yang tidak mengalami gangguan menstruasi (11,4%). Setelah uji Pearson diperoleh nilai p=0,140 (p>0,05) yang berarti bahwa tidak ada hubungan antara IMT dengan gangguan menstruasi pada akseptor KB injeksi DMPA. Kesimpulan: Tidak ada hubungan antara IMT dengan gangguan menstruasi pada akseptor KB injeksi DMPA di Puskesmas Jagir. Abstract Background: The incidence of drop out acceptors mostly due to side effects, is found on the injection method. DMPA injection has side effects of menstrual disorders. To ensure a fluent menstruation, women should have fat mass at least 22% of their body weight. Fat mass can be determined by measuring the Body Mass Index (BMI). This research aims to study the relationship of BMI with menstrual disorders in DMPA injection receiver at Puskesmas Jagir. Methods: This research is an observational analytic research with a cross sectional approach. A total sample of 67 people included DMPA injection receiver at Puskesmas Jagir corresponding for inclusion criteria. Sampling is done by total sampling. The independent variable in this study was BMI in DMPA injection receiver, while the dependent variable was menstrual disorders in DMPA injection receiver. To determine a significant level, the collected data will be tested by Pearson at the significance level of α = 0.05. Results: The results of the study showed that most of respondents had normal BMI (55.2%), thin BMI (3,0%) and overweight BMI (44.8%). Most of them experienced menstrual disorders (88.1%) and others did not experience menstrual disorders (11.4%). After the Pearson test, the value of p = 0.140 (p > 0.05) which means that there is no relationship between BMI and menstrual disorders in DMPA injection receiver. Conclusion: There is no relationship of BMI with menstrual disorders in DMPA injection receiver at Puskesmas Jagir.
