Summary
Environmental pollution negatively impacts logistics performance in Asian economies, while internet access and education show positive effects. Sustainable development requires investment in efficient logistics infrastructure.
Area of Science:
- Economics
- Environmental Science
- Information Technology
Background:
- The logistics sector is vital for Asian economies, influencing ecological and social factors.
- Understanding determinants of logistics performance is crucial for sustainable development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the impact of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, information and communication technology (ICT), and human capital on the logistics performance of 20 Asian economies.
Main Methods:
- Ordinary Least Squares (OLS)
- Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS)
- Generalized Method of Moments (GMM)
- Panel Quantile Regression
Main Results:
- CO2 and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions negatively affect logistics performance (2SLS, GMM).
- ICT and education positively influence logistics performance.
- The impact of CO2, internet, and education varies across quantiles, with significance mainly at higher levels.
Conclusions:
- Environmental pollution hinders logistics efficiency.
- Investment in internet infrastructure and education is key to enhancing logistics performance.
- Governments should prioritize logistics infrastructure development for sustainable economic growth.

02:12Short-distance Transport of Resources
16.3K
Short-distance transport refers to transport that occurs over a distance of just 2-3 cells, crossing the plasma membrane in the process. Small uncharged molecules, such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water, can diffuse across the plasma membrane on their own. In contrast, ions and larger molecules require the assistance of transport proteins due to their charge or size. Transport across membranes also occurs within individual cells, playing a variety of essential roles for the plant as a whole.

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...
