Öğe Does life expectancy, death rate and public health expenditure matter in sustaining economic growth under COVID-19: Empirical evidence from Nigeria?(WILEY, 111 RIVER ST, HOBOKEN 07030-5774, NJ, 2021) Alhassan, Gloria Nnadwa; Adedoyin, Festus Fatai; Bekun, Festus Victor; Agabo, Terhemen JustineThe current health pandemic that has plagued the global of which the global southNigeria is not insulated from is the premise for this empirical investigation. The present study relies on recent annual time-series data to conceptualize the hypothesized claim via Pesaran's Autoregressive distributed lag techniques. Empirical findings from the bounds test traces the long-run relationship between public health expenditure and economic growth over the study span. However, unlike previous studies, we introduce life expectancy and death rates in the model framework. Although health expenditure is not significant, empirical results show that a 1% increase in life expectancy and death rate increases and decreases economic growth by 3.85 and 1.84%, respectively. This suggests the need for Health Policymakers in Nigeria to implement active strategies that reduce the death rate, which is a blueprint for active engagement in the face of a global pandemic such as COVID-19.Öğe Effects of health expenditure, death rate, and infant mortality rate on life expectancy: A case study of the United States(SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 1 OLIVERS YARD, 55 CITY ROAD, LONDON EC1Y 1SP, ENGLAND, 2024) Adebayo, Tomiwa Sunday; Nwosu, Laurine Chikodiri; Alhassan, Gloria Nnadwa; Uzun, Berna; Özkan, Oktay; Awosusi, Abraham AyobamijiUnderstanding the factors that influence life expectancy (LEXP) is crucial for promoting economic development, as a nation's prosperity depends on the health of its population. Various socioeconomic, nutritional, lifestyle, genetic, and environmental factors can significantly impact a nation’s health and longevity. Our study investigates these drivers of LEXP, focusing on the United States as a case study. Using quarterly data from 2000 to 2022, we examined the relationship between LEXP and multiple determinants, including environmental degradation, income levels, inflation dynamics, educational attainment, birth and death rates, health expenditure patterns, urbanization trends, and infant mortality rates. Employing advanced analytical methodologies, we accounted for the nonlinear nature of the time series data by utilizing approaches such as quantile-on-quantile Kernel Regression Least Squares and quantile-on-quantile Granger causality. The study revealed that factors such as inflation rate, rapid urbanization, high birth rates, CO2 emissions, death rates, and infant mortality negatively affect LEXP. On the other hand, higher income levels, educational attainment, food production, and health expenditure positively influence LEXP. Based on these findings, we have proposed significant policy recommendations.Öğe Evolution of machine learning applications in medical and healthcare analytics research: A bibliometric analysis(ELSEVIER, RADARWEG 29, 1043 NX AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, 2024) Ajibade, Samuel-Soma M.; Alhassan, Gloria Nnadwa; Zaidi, Abdelhamid; Oki, Olukayode Ayodele; Awotunde, Joseph Bamidele; Ogbuju, Emeka; Akintoye, Kayode A.This bibliometric research explores the global evolution of machine learning applications in medical and healthcare research for 3 decades (1994 to 2023). The study applies data mining techniques to a comprehensive dataset of published articles related to machine learning applications in the medical and healthcare sectors. The data extraction process includes the retrieval of relevant information from the source sources such as journals, books, and conference proceedings. An analysis of the extracted data is then conducted to identify the trends in the machine learning applications in medical and healthcare research. The Results revealed the publications published and indexed in the Scopus and PubMed database over the last 30 years. Bibliometric Analysis revealed that funding played a more significant role in publication productivity compared to collaboration (co-authorships), particularly at the country level. Hotspots analysis revealed three core research themes on MLHC research hence demonstrating the importance of machine learning applications to medical and healthcare research. Further, the study showed that the MLHC research landscape has largely focused on ML applications to tackle various issues ranging from chronic medical challenges (e.g., cardiological diseases) to patient data security. The findings of this research may be useful to policy makers and practitioners in the medical and healthcare sectors and to global research endeavours in the field. Future studies could include addressing issues such as growing ethical considerations, integration, and practical applications in wearable technology, IoT, and smart healthcare systems.Öğe Examining obesity kuznets curve in the United States from the perspective of globalization and biocapacity(Cell Press, 2023) Alhassan, Gloria Nnadwa; Alola, Andrew Adewale; Bekun, Festus VictorGiven the recent rise in the adult obesity prevalence in the United States, the central and statelevel governments and health agencies in the country are considering appropriate measures. Further motivation for this investigation stems from the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG-3, 8, and 13), that highlights the need for sustainable health for all, sustainable decent economic growth amidst environmental sustainability. Driven by this motivation, this study investigates the validity of Obesity Kuznets curve (OKC) in the United States over the experimental period of 1975-2016. In addition, this study illustrates the (mediating) role of globalisation and biocapacity in controlling the prevalence of obesity in the United States. While the study established the validity of obesity Kuznets curve, especially in the short run, it found an inverted U-shaped relationship between globalisation and obesity for the United States. This interprets that a significant reduction in wealth-related health issues is achievable with increased (socioeconomic and political) globalisation policy amidst improved (socioeconomic) welfare of the Americans. Moreover, biocapacity showed a desirable impact on obesity since the short- and long-run relationship with a respective elasticity of 0.02 and 1.86 is negative and statistically significant. In general, this study puts forward policy from the perspective of socioeconomic and political globalisation and domestic welfare measures across the country.Öğe Telehealth as a Panacea Amidst Global Pandemic (COVID-19) in Africa(Düzce Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi, 2021) Alhassan, Gloria Nnadwa; Öztürk, İlknur; Adedoyin, Festus Fatai; Bekun, Festus VictorTechnology is disrupting bringing up a better innovation and strengthening the healthcare services. Telehealth is one of these services. Telehealth can help in times of emergency situations as well as reducing morbidity caused by other diseases other than coronavirus and also constraining its spread as well as sustaining the country's economic development. Although, telehealth is a disruptive innovation, this article aimed to point out why Africa and rest of the world need telehealth to structure out the management of the three phases of health crises (pre, during and post-crises) that must be address to help in economic sustainability, increase accessibility to healthcare and increase in quality of life which in turn reduces costs and easy access to healthcare services either incommunicable, non-communicable, or disastrous situations in the African region. In fighting an outbreak such as this, our study finds that the government of African nations should guarantee all health experts get fitting instruction and preparing; present telehealth accreditation for wellbeing experts; give subsidizing which satisfactorily takes care of the expense of giving telehealth; overhaul clinical models of care; bolster all partners with a viable correspondence; and finally, change the board technique while setting up frameworks to oversee telehealth benefits on a standard premise.
