“…This means that if GDP grows by 1% every year, the standard of living will increase by 2.66%. The results are consistent with the (Ilyas-Lecturer et al, 2023;Mukhtar et al, 2023;Qadri, Raza, Eid, & Abualigah, 2023).…”

Many studies have drawn conflicting conclusions about relationships between labour transfers, monetarily buildup, growth, and living standards in different settings, but only partially so. For this purpose, the capital and threshold conduction effects are often used to trace transmission channels for causal links. On the other hand, workers' remittances play a key role in the financial development of the economy. No study has specifically focused on the effects of worker transfers on living standards in Pakistan by monitoring the main and threshold transfer channels. Thus, there is a considerable need to explore these channels and their expansion. This study examines the effect of workers' remittances on living standards by expanding the capital conduit and threshold channels. The study scrutinizes the direct impact of financial development on living standards by tracing the threshold effect channel. Second, it channels the influence of financial development with living standards through the capital channel for GDP growth. Third, it examines the unintended effect of labour transfers on living standards by the financial development and GDP growth based on extended versions of capital leadership and threshold channels. to estimate bidirectional causal relationships between financial development and GDP growth. The data were taken for the period 1980–2020. Employing ARDL-bound (cointegration) testing, the study's results indicate a direct and indirect long and short-term relationship between worker transfers and living standards if we consider the effects of financial development and GDP growth. Furthermore, it is confirmed that the extension of the journey contributed significantly. Policymakers can use these findings to understand better worker remittances' role in developing financially sound strategies.

“…Recycling generates various value-added products, but its introduction has risks in the food chain. Contamination is a basic challenge of transforming by-products into food products [164] . Moreover, by-products are novel food products with specific functions; hence, safe food use must be properly documented.…”

“…These include Alternaria, Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Penicillium (Heshmati et al, 2021), which may lead to contamination of the fruit, especially the peels, with mycotoxins such as aflatoxins (AFs). The presence of AFs in food is highly feared as the public is aware of its toxicity (Aranega and Oliveira, 2022;Mukhtar et al, 2023;Onyeaka et al, 2022;Thakaew and Chaiklangmuang, 2023). It has been proved that naturally occurring AFs (B 1 , B 2 , G 1 , and G 2 ) are firmly carcinogens; therefore, "International Agency for Research on Cancer" categorized them into Group 1, i.e., carcinogenic to humans (Martínez et al, 2023;Thakaew and Chaiklangmuang, 2023).…”

Pineapple peel is a food waste with environmental concerns. It can be valorized by extracting its bioactive compound through conventional and emerging technologies such as ohmic heating. However, mycotoxins and heavy metals contaminations could be concerns of such a valorization process. This study assessed the effects of conventional and ohmic heating on selected aflatoxins and metal ions in pineapple peel extract using high- performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Also, energy consumption and environmental impacts of the ohmic process were analyzed. According to the results, the ohmic-based valorization system reduced energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by more than 83%, contributing to net-zero and sustainable development goals (SDGs). Aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, and G2 were below the detection limit (B1, G1: 0.2µg/kg; B2, G2: 0.1µg/kg). However, ohmic extracts contained higher concentrations of Cr, Pb, Ni, and Fe because of electrochemical reactions and electrode corrosion. Despite the capability of ohmic valorization systems, inspecting food waste and valorized products for hazardous chemicals and investing in durable electrodes (e.g., titanium) are among the considerations for ohmic systems’ industrial implementation.
