Research has shownthat the low self-esteem, lack of energy, irritability, and decrease in productivity that accompanies persistent depression is associated with significant long-term social dysfunction, psychiatric hospitalizations, and high rates of suicide attempts.
Parida and Das [ 5] reported that the detrimental effects of high salinity on plants can be observed at the whole-plant level as the death of plants and/or decreases in productivity.
From a biomedical perspective, the impact of aging on individuals can be viewed in a relatively straightforward manner: development of physiological dysfunction (impairment), which leads to functional limitations (e.g., reduced mobility), increased risk of disease and disability, decreases in productivity, loss of independence, a reduction in quality of life and, ultimately, death.
Unnecessary use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides adversely affects the soil environment, leading to decrease in crop productivity and production of possibly harmful food, unsafe for human feeding (Chaturvedi et al. 2013).
Results indicate that over the 6-year period decreasing trends in productivity dominated the Ontario landscape.
The present study validated the decreasing trend in productivity with the increase of brine depth and showed that the still productivity could be influenced by the brine depth by up to 48%.
Human illness would result in costs from medical assistance and decreases in workforce productivity.
This might be explained by the depletion of primary carbon sources due to decrease in photosynthetic productivity as indicated, e.g. by a ~20-fold downregulation of the gene carbonic anhydrase (Locus_3248, Additional file 6).
These events can have both short-and long-term effects on human health, including drowning, injuries, increased disease transmission, decreases in agricultural productivity, and an increased incidence of common mental disorders (Hajat et al. 2003).
The sector that demonstrates the best-performance is rubber and plastics products, with productivity growth of 20.47 %, and the sector with the worst performance is paper and paper products, with a decrease in productivity of 2.22 %.
