Retroverse: Envisioning Combined Physical Fitness and Embodied Learning

The concept of the Metaverse has been discussed and explored for several decades, with notable references in virtual reality (VR) and virtual social spaces. However, its applications in healthcare are still in their infancy. Researchers have explored its potential applications in smart healthcare from various angles, but few studies have shown how physical activity in virtual environments can support spatial learning. In this paper, we envision a new concept and application of the “Retroverse” characterized by embodied learning and incorporating virtual environments into a reality-based experience. Our main goal is to stimulate people’s memory through physical fitness activities in the virtual environment. By intelligently optimizing the sports equipment and campus management system at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), we connected the “Campus Brain” with a stationary bicycle. Through the “Virtual Campus Ride”,” visitors can get a 360-degree view of the campus while exercising either individually or in teams. This embodied learning experience allows users to interact with each other based on a digital representation of the real world. We believe that this interactive and physically engaging trend of smart healthcare can be further developed into simulation-based training and psychological therapy. In the future, such experiential learning or rehabilitation could be supported by AI-generated content in a computer-generated environment.

An Attribute Relationship Clustering Algorithm for Telecom Customer Group Discovery

This article focuses on the issue of telecommunications customer management, and studies customer group discovery methods based on customer communication relationships and customer attributes. A density clustering algorithm is proposed that considers both communication customer attributes and communication relationships between customers. The customer clustering algorithm is based on an undirected weighted network with integrated similarity. It sorts the nodes in the network according to their strength, starting from the object with the highest node strength. The pruned nodes in the undirected weighted network that have a direct connection to the clustering starting point after removing edges that are less than the similarity threshold are clustered into one group. The starting point of this clustering is the core node, while also obtaining hub nodes and isolated nodes. The empirical analysis of customer data from a telecommunications company in Beijing shows that the customer clustering algorithm proposed in this study can effectively discover customer groups and identify core objects within the customer group.

A Review on Sustainable Transportation and Circular Economy Actions on Urban Mobility

Recently, the increasing need for energy, water, and material forced the world to seek new solutions by considering sustainability to come through the vicious circle of continuous production and consumption. Therefore, the concept of the circular economy is gaining popularity across the world with its promise of a better future for the next generations. Herein, the cities as the most problematic, highly populated, and industrialized areas are one of the main concerns of the debate. Even though the concept of the circular economy is quite fresh and in the early stages, there are already some actions in cities focused on the green transportation of urban areas. The countries such as China, the European Union, and the USA have already added the circular economy concept for urban mobility to their schedule. The term urban mobility covers all kinds of transportation infrastructure-related problems within the urban areas including congestion, planning, mode share, and optimizations. This paper will review the recent actions in cities based on the circular economy approach from the perspective of urban mobility. Even though there are lots of initiatives for sustainable transportation all around the world, green transportation applications in the frame of the circular economy are highly questionable. Therefore, the aim is to present and unroll achievements on the topic, to give an idea about in-use projects, and to question sustainability.

Research on Processing Game Problem of Fixed-Proportions Co-products Under Correlated Demand

We study the game of co-product processing between two manufacturers under the condition of fixed-proportions. Each manufacturer processes one raw material to simultaneously produce a fixed proportion of multiple linked products. There is an alternative competition between the similar products of different manufacturers. When a similar products of the manufacturer is out of stock, some unsatisfied customers will buy the similar products of another manufacturer. They maximize their personal profit and loss by choosing the amount of processing. In this paper, firstly, a single period processing game model is established when the total demand and market share are random, and it proves that the equilibrium processing quantity and the equilibrium profit and loss value will increase with the substitution rate of each co-products. Secondly, further considering the problem of multi-period processing game, the equilibrium processing strategy is given and found that the equilibrium processing volume of manufacturers will decrease with the increase of the initial inventory of themselves and competitors. Finally, simulation examples are used to analyze the influence of competition and its strength and output ratio on the co-products system.

Text Mining and Quantitative Analysis of Regional Public Brand Building Policies for Agricultural Products in China

The establishment of a regional common brand for agricultural products plays a crucial role in achieving agricultural and rural modernization and promoting the industrialization of agricultural products on a large scale. The branding of agricultural products enables the conversion of regional industrial advantages into market value, making it an essential tool for driving, integrating, and advancing the development of rural industries. The central government and various levels of government have implemented numerous policies aimed at fostering the development of regional public brands for agricultural products. Assessing and analyzing these policies holds significant importance in enhancing the formulation of effective policies. Therefore, this study employs a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the policy tools related to regional public branding of agricultural products. A coding system for these policy tools is developed using 30 policy documents as research samples, and content analysis is conducted to categorize and analyze the textual data. Based on the coding, semantic network analysis and co-occurrence analysis are done for different types of policy instruments. It is analyzed that the current policy instruments are mainly of coercive type, supplemented by hybrid type, and less of voluntary type. Additionally, the policy instruments exhibit a structural imbalance. It is observed that the coercive and hybrid policy instruments align more effectively with the policy objectives, whereas the voluntary policy instruments do not align as well with the policy objectives.

Optimal Order Decision for e-Commerce Platform Retailers Considering Impulsive Consumers and Customer Returns

This study examines the optimal order decision of an e-commerce platform retailer based on a wholesale price contract, considering customer returns, in response to an increase in the number of impulsive consumers under the speedy expansion of live e-commerce. By maximizing the profit models both without and with impulsive consumers, we show that the optimal decisions are the only existence for both cases. The optimal order quantity decreases as the refund price increases. Maximum expected profit for the retailer and the optimal order quantity are decreasing in the proportion of impulsive consumers. Comparative analysis shows that the optimal order quantity and the maximum expected profit with impulsive consumers are less than those without impulsive ones. The impact of customer returns on retailer decisions is greater when impulsive consumers exist.

Moving Towards Sustainable Transportation: Integrating Rail and Ferry Transportation for a Connected and Smart Istanbul Mobility

Cities that have the means for ferry and rail transportation options for their urban mobility have high levels of potential benefits in terms of economy, environment, and sustainability. However, to take full advantage of these systems’ benefits, the integration between these different modes of public transportation systems must be improved. In this study, the goal is to optimize the integration between rail and ferry transportation modes using a developed innovative advanced traveler information system. By using historical data (such as ridership, and weather) from the corresponding authorities and conducted revealed preference survey results, insight into the current state of the rail and ferry transportation systems can be obtained using machine learning and pattern recognition methods. With the constraints and the objective function obtained from the current state diagnosis, the integration between the rail and ferry transportation systems can be optimized by using different optimization methods. Hence, public buses and alternative transportation modes such as bike- sharing can also be utilized to further improve the integration between rail and ferry transportation systems and make them more sustainable.

Supply Chain Coordination Based on Differentiated Buyback Contract in the Presence of Customer Returns

This study addresses the increasing frequency of customer returns and its impact on decision-making and profitability in a supply chain with a single supplier and retailer. It proposes a unique buyback contract that includes different prices for unsold and returned products. The focus is on decentralized decision-making models. The results indicate that the retailer’s order quantity and profit are positively correlated with the buyback prices and negatively correlated with the return rate. The supplier’s profit decreases as the buyback price for unsold products increases, but increases with a higher penalty factor. The optimal buyback price for returned products is set at the salvage value of the product to maximize profitability.

FPGA Implementation and Carrier Recovery Based on Costas Loop

In order to solve the frequency offset caused by the inconsistence of RF transceiver frequency, the Costas loop algorithm is used to realize carrier synchronization. On the basis of analyzing the principle of the algorithm, the feasibility of Costas loop algorithm based on arctangent in the actual transceiver environment is verified by combining MATLAB with the actual transceiver environment. In FPGA based engineering implementation, table lookup method is used to reduce the time delay of feedback loop and thus reduce the clock frequency of FPGA. Simulation and engineering verification show that the loop implemented in this work can realize carrier synchronization, provide correct data for subsequent demodulation and decoding, and realize synchronous demodulation of BPSK modulated signals.

Agricultural Supply Chain Options Ordering and Coordination Considering Fairness Concerns and Sales Effort

With the accelerated modernization of China’s agriculture and the rapid growth of the agricultural consumer market, supply chain management of agricultural products is of great interest. As the behavior of supply chain members such as sales effort and fairness concerns can have a great impact on the overall supply chain management decisions. Therefore, in this paper, we introduce options contracts to investigate the ordering and coordination strategies of a single-cycle two-stage agricultural supply chain considering that the agricultural retailer is a fair concern and provides sales effort. The results show that in the case where the retailer only orders options, there is a relationship between the effect of the retailer’s fair concern on order quantity and the parameters of the option contract, with the retailer’s order quantity being an increasing function of fair concern when the option price is less than a critical value, and a decreasing function in the opposite case. In addition, by discussing the supply chain coordination mechanism, it is found that the level of retailers’ fairness concern does not change the coordination of options contracts and that under certain conditions, supply chain coordination can be achieved. The results of the study provide some meaningful suggestions for agricultural supply chain management.

A Study of the Pricing and Profitability of Each Manufacturer Under the Dual-Credit Policy Based on the New Energy Vehicle Battery Recycling Credit Scheme

As the number of new energy vehicles has increased, so has the number of discarded batteries and the issue of battery recycling. Most of the existing double credit models only consider the competition between car manufacturers and do not consider battery recycling. So this paper considers a model of competition between two car manufacturers under a dual-credit policy where the battery manufacturer earns points for recycling its batteries. The impact of changes in the value of the points earned by battery manufacturers for recycling batteries on the price and profitability of each manufacturer is examined. It is found that in the case where the battery manufacturer recycles the battery with points, the optimal price of each manufacturer is lower than the optimal price of recycling the battery without points, and the total profit of each manufacturer is higher than the total profit of recycling the battery without points. And as the integral value of recycled batteries becomes larger, the profit of producing each new energy vehicle increases, and the total profit of battery manufacturers and manufacturers that only produce new energy vehicles increases.

Combinatorial Transportation Service Procurement for Online Freight Platforms Considering Shipper Collaboration

This paper studies the problem of designing combinatorial double auctions for online freight platforms, in which the platform can take advantage of the Internet to gather the demands from small shippers, form shipper collaboration, and then chooses the right carriers to meet these demands. The problem faced by the online platform is to efficiently allocate transactions and determine the appropriate transaction prices for both shippers and carriers under incomplete information. To address the problem, we propose the Padding-based Combinatorial Double Auction mechanism where the shippers bid for the transportation services for a route while the carriers bid for the transportation service combinations. We show that the mechanism is incentive-compatible, individually rational, budget-balanced, and asymptotically efficient. Furthermore, we find by the numerical studies that shipper collaboration can be effective in increasing social welfare, improving shippers’ and carriers’ utility, and increasing trading volumes at larger market sizes.

An Empirical Study on the Impact of Digital Finance on the Systematic Risk of Commercial Banks

Based on the data analysis of 50 domestic commercial banks from 2011 to 2021, this paper empirically verifies the principle and influence channel of digital finance on Systematic risk of banks. Through empirical analysis, it can be seen that the development of digital finance promotes Systematic risk of banks. Through empirical analysis, the development of digital finance has promoted the Systematic risk of banks and has heterogeneous characteristics. The development of digital finance has played a greater role in promoting the Systematic risk of non-public banks. The relationship between financial disintermediation, business competition, credit concentration and Assumption of risk and the Systematic risk of banks has multiple Mesomeric effect. Digital finance promotes Systematic risk of banks through financial disintermediation, and inhibits Systematic risk of banks through business competition, credit concentration and Assumption of risk. The promotion of financial disintermediation on Systematic risk hedged the inhibition of banking competition, Assumption of risk and loan agglomeration, and ultimately increased the Systematic risk of banks. The benign development of urbanization has intensified the promotion of digital finance on Systematic risk of banks, and the increase of domestic demand scale has weakened the promotion of digital finance on Systematic risk of banks.

Scheduling of Third-Party Trucks in Finished Products Transportation for Manufacturing Enterprises

Manufacturing enterprises’ production amount of finished products varies every day, requiring repeated coordination between transportation demand and truck supply. In the case of third-party logistics companies undertaking the transportation of finished products, as several companies are involved, manufacturing enterprises have difficulties in releasing dynamic information on transportation needs in real time, resulting in truck queueing or truck vacancy. This paper draws on the idea of the truck appointment system (TAS) to design the new appointment rule. We set the optimal appointment quota to ensure that the queue is short and there are trucks waiting to transport the next batch of finished products. In the numerical experiment, we solve for the optimal appointment quota.

Does Local Government Debt Boost Industrial Structure Upgrading? The Evidence from China

Issuing local debt is an important way for the government to raise development funds, and its impact on industrial structure upgrading has always been controversial. This paper employs the fixed effect model and the panel data of 30 provinces in China from 2010–2017 to study local government debt’s influence on local industrial structure upgrading progress. Results show that government debt could boost industrial structure upgrading, and this mechanism works via promoting innovation activities. However, such promoting effect brings side effect: the decrease of total factor productivity (TFP). What is more, regional differences are evident: The eastern region is more sensitive to such influence. At this stage, China needs to improve the proportion of productive-debt and keep improving the governance of grassroots officials.

A Study on the Prediction Model of Traumatic Hemorrhagic Shock Based on Machine Learning Algorithm

With the continuous development of the medical field and the rapid advancement of information technology, the application of medical data has become a crucial component of medical practice. The introduction of machine learning methods can analyse large amounts of medical data in a more detailed and rapid manner. By comprehensively evaluating patient demographic information, diagnosis, treatment, and other data in the electronic medical record, we can understand the patient’s health status and potential dangers, and provide a powerful auxiliary support for the doctor’s diagnosis and treatment. Traumatic haemorrhagic shock is a life-threatening clinical condition, and early and accurate prediction and intervention is essential for patient survival and recovery. In this study, for the injury condition of traumatic haemorrhagic shock, based on the emergency database of the General Hospital of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the research experiments were designed under the guidance of professional clinicians, from which the data of relevant patients’ medical indicators were extracted and data preprocessing was carried out. In the model construction stage, the study used five algorithms to construct a traumatic haemorrhagic shock prediction model using simple machine learning models including Logistic Regression, CART, and ensemble learning including Random Forest, XGBoost, and neural network structured multilayer perceptual machine MLP respectively, and the key indicators screened by doctors were used as the inclusion features. In the model evaluation stage, the study used a ten-fold cross-validation method to assess the prediction effect of different machine learning models by indicators such as ROC curve and AUC. The results showed that the XGBoost algorithm had the largest average AUC and the overall prediction effect was better than the other models, and the model had good prediction effect with potential clinical application. Finally, this study used the SHAP method to explain the value of different features to the prediction model from global and individual perspectives, making the model more credible.

Construction of a Machine Learning-Based Risk Scoring Tool for Post-traumatic Acute Hypotension

Acute hypotension episodes (AHE) are the most common adverse events in post-traumatic emergencies, and the occurrence of acute hypotension is very dangerous for the life safety of critically ill patients. This can lead to fainting or shock, irreversible organ damage or even death. This study uses the mimic IV database to screen key indicators for acute post-traumatic hypotension using the XGBoost method, to select vital signs indicators based on timeliness, economy and convenience of clinical application to construct a simple hypotension scoring tool, and to specify the rationale and process for the construction of the scoring tool. The scoring of the condition can also assist healthcare professionals in the rapid diagnosis of the cause of the patient’s condition. The use of specific scores to indicate the extent of a patient’s condition not only facilitates patient understanding, but also allows the system to be used more frequently by doctors in the clinical setting. The results show that a risk of traumatic haemorrhagic shock scoring tool based on five vital signs - systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure - can accurately identify patient outcomes and differentiate the severity of injuries, providing some clinical decision support.

Research on Predicting Acute Hypotension Based on Interpretable Machine Learning

Acute hypotension is a common emergency of dangerous diseases, which can cause fainting or shock, lead to irreversible organ damage and even death of patients, and require timely and effective intervention after the occurrence. If patients with acute hypotension can be accurately identified in time and effective intervention measures can be taken, the mortality and disability rate can be greatly reduced. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 1535 patients (214 Experimental Group and 1321 Control Group) were extracted from the intensive care medical information Mart (MIMIC) - IV, and the cross-sectional data were extracted. Data cleaning, missing value interpolation and other pre-processing processes were carried out. Feature engineering was used to select key indicators, A set of interpretable key indicator sets (Heart Rate, Systolic Blood Pressure, International Normalized Ratio, Diastolic Blood Pressure, Thrombin Time Measurement, Carbon Dioxide, Hemoglobin Measurement, White Blood Cells, Lactate) were obtained. Four machine learning algorithms, XGBoost, LR, KNN, MLP, were used to integrate the models, and the voting algorithm was used to establish and verify the prediction models of acute hypotension. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was used to evaluate the performance of the model. The results showed that the performance of voting’s integrated model was significantly better than that of other models’ time series data (AUROC = 0.973). Through the research of medical field based on machine learning and the construction of clinical acute hypotension prediction model, this paper hopes to make contributions to domestic emergency treatment in theory and practice.

The Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows Based on a Multi-conditional Clustering and Tabu Search Approach

A company distributes goods to stores all over the country through one warehouse. The warehouse processes orders from different stores daily and decides on order allocation and shipping routes for each vehicle. In a long-haul transport, drivers must obey traffic safety regulations, such as day/night speed limits and continuous driving hours. This paper considers a long-haul vehicle routing problem in terms of time windows and order priorities. An integer programming model is built to minimize the total transportation time of all vehicles. Then, a multi-conditional clustering method based on K-means is adopted to achieve regional division. Moreover, a Tabu Search (TS) algorithm, based on the regional division with creating mixed neighborhood structure, is proposed to optimize the solutions for the model. The preliminary results of a series of experiments, which are conducted on real data, are able to verify the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

Research on Inventory Optimization Strategies for Blood Supply Chain Considering Timeliness and Substitutability

Blood, as a precious and scarce resource, faces the dual challenge of waste and shortage in China’s existing blood supply chain. In this study, we investigate the blood supply chain consisting of a blood center and two hospitals, and develop an inventory optimization model that considers blood timeliness and blood type substitutability. The model aims to minimize blood expiration rate while ensuring acceptable blood timeliness, and to study inventory optimization strategies. A TA-TS-HA heuristic algorithm is used to analyze the case, and the results show that inventory control strategies significantly affect the blood expiration rate in each entity, while blood type substitutability has a significant impact on the overall blood expiration rate and shortage rate of the blood supply chain. Considering blood type substitutability within hospitals is better than not considering it. The model provides decision-making ideas for inventory optimization of the blood supply chain as a whole.

Evaluating Green Efficiency: Empirical Evidence from European Companies

There has been increasing recognition of the importance of environmental sustainability in recent years and the need for immediate action. Regardless of the necessity of green finance, investments in such products are in fact beneficial for investors. Adopting the DEA-BCC approach, we test the financial effectiveness of 112 European corporations in 2021, with an aim to unveil the key determinants. The main results show Nordic and Benelux countries, and information technology, industrials, and health care sectors holding the highest green efficiency, while Southern European countries and the real estate sector share the lowest. These findings seem to lead to an important suggestion: financing subsidiaries, low-emission subsidiaries and low borrowing costs will improve the green efficiency of European companies.

Asymmetric N-Person Newsvendor Game with Overconfidence

Overconfidence is a common behavior bias that affects the decision maker’s equilibrium strategy in competition. To explore the impact of overconfidence on the inventory game, this paper establishes an asymmetric newsvendor game model with N participators that considers overconfidence. The study found that when the newsvendor key ratios are identical the decision makers should ignore the impact of rival’s decisions. The pull-to-center effect can be observed in asymmetrical overconfident newsvendor games. Overconfident newsvendor may earn more when competing with the rational newsvendor, while the rational newsvendor may earn less. The overconfidence can offset the impact of competitive effect on order decisions. In addition, this paper explains the reason why the total order volume of the newsvendor game system is not lower than the total order volume of the centralized newsvendor system.

Optimal Pricing of Electric Vehicle Battery Manufacturer and Comprehensive Service Provider in a Closed-Loop Supply Chain

Although the adoption of electric vehicles can significantly lessen energy shortages and environmental pollution, it also raises issues with recycling and disposal of used batteries. A full service provider that offered three services—retailing, recycling, and reusing—appears on the market in this situation, creating a new model that has never been researched or applied previously. By using a Stackelberg game model and concentrating on how this provider would affect recycling decisions in the closed-loop supply chain, this study investigates the effects that the advent of this integrated provider will have on the electric vehicle batteries recycling market. According to the study, the integrated provider would decide to cut consumer subsidies within a given range in order to lessen the impact that rising battery dismantle costs will have on rising marginal profits. Second, the manufacturer will decide to raise the price of virgin batteries to offset the rise in the average cost of raw materials brought on by the increase in the battery raw material savings factor, which would affect the integrated provider’s overall income. Additionally, the supply chain’s overall income will rise before falling, therefore the recycling savings factor cannot be either too high or too low. The primary contribution of this research is the analysis of the provider’s optimal pricing strategy in the closed-loop supply chain, which can lead to recommendations for the long-term growth of this comprehensive service provider.

Improved Ant Colony Algorithm for Split Delivery Vehicle Routing Problem with Capacity Constraint

The traditional vehicle routing problem (VRP) is a typical NP-hard problem in combinatorial optimization, based on the premise that customer demands are indivisible. However, in practical logistics operations, sometimes splitting demands can lead to better cost reduction in transportation. In this paper, we establish an integer programming model for split delivery vehicle routing problem (SDVRP) with capacity constraint and design an improved Ant Colony Algorithm tailored to the characteristics of the model, with the main design idea being the innovation of a mechanism for selecting splitting points. Through computational experiments, we compare the solution results with the traditional VRP, demonstrating the superiority of demand splitting. Additionally, we compare the results with those obtained in other studies using the same instances, confirming that the algorithm proposed in this paper has certain advantages in solving the split delivery vehicle routing problem.

Carbon Emissions Prediction for the Transportation Industry with Consideration of China’s Peaking Carbon Emissions

China’s energy structure is undergoing significant changes as a result of the quick development of new energy technologies. Building and enhancing the carbon emission policy system for China’s transportation industry requires scientific prediction of carbon emissions with the aim of carbon peaking. This paper adopts the LMDI (Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index) method to decompose the driving factors and the LEAP (Long-Range Energy Alternatives Planning) model to predict the trajectory of China’s transportation sector’s carbon emissions. The findings indicate that while an increase in GDP per capita will result in an increase in carbon emissions, an improvement in the energy structure and a decrease in the intensity of transportation will contribute to a reduction. Additionally, the boosting effect of GDP per capita on carbon emissions in 2019 has been able to counteract the inhibiting effects of energy structure and transportation intensity, where road freight, which is primarily powered by diesel, is the largest source of carbon emissions. According to the baseline scenario, the first carbon peak will occur in 2023 due to the liberalization of epidemic prevention and control and the decrease in the share of road freight, while the second peak will happen in 2032 due to the combined effects of economic growth and advancements in carbon reduction technology. As a result, carbon emissions will exhibit a fluctuating peak tendency, indicating that the industry should pay attention to these features and adopt scientific development strategies. Therefore, the primary routes for China’s transportation sector to reach a carbon peak in the future include optimizing energy structure, developing carbon-reducing technologies, lowering the proportion of road freight, encouraging multi-modal transport development, and optimizing transport structure.

Bi-objective Hub Location-Allocation Problem with Time Window Constraint

This paper proposed a bi-objective programming model to address the hub location-allocation problem international logistics enterprises faced. The model considers high time requirement of express export business and includes a time window constraint that considers the sum of transport vehicle departure time, vehicle driving time, sorting time of service center, and the latest arrival time of vehicles at the port. The model aims to minimize the total transportation cost and construction costs while maximizing the service level. Firstly, to predict vehicle transportation costs, a binary regression equation was constructed using distance and volume as independent variables, based on the sklearn machine learning library. The resulting mixed integer programming model was then solved using the Gurobi solver. Using operational data from international logistics enterprises in Guangdong Province, two site selection schemes were obtained, prioritizing either total cost or service level. The results of the study indicate that the location scheme prioritizing total cost can effectively reduce costs, while the scheme prioritizing service level can ensure that the service level remains unaffected by the addition of new service centers.

Forecasting Container Shipping Prices Under the Influence of Major Events

Irregular events like natural disasters can cause drastic fluctuations in container ocean freight prices, making it challenging for traditional forecasting techniques to accurately forecast their complex dynamics. The ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) method and the gated recurrent unit (GRU) network are suitable for the cases. Therefore, this paper proposes an EEMD-GRU combined forecasting model. Empirical analysis is conducted using the China containerized freight index (CCFI) data from March 2020 to March 2022. The forecasts of the EEMD-GRU model were compared with those of the ARIMA, LSTM, GRU, EEMD-ARIMA, and EEMD-LSTM models. The results indicate that the proposed significantly outperforms its rivals in terms of MAPE, RMSE, and MAE.

A Relief Supplies Purchasing Model Based on Bidirectional Option Contract

Due to the uncertainty in the demand for relief supplies after a disaster, the government always faces the double risk of inventory buildup and shortages. Based on this, this paper constructs a relief supplies purchasing model based on bidirectional option contract consisting of the government and two suppliers, taking into account the probability of a disaster striking. We derive the optimal decision on the quantity of relief supplies at the beginning of the reserve period and the quantity of options sold by the two suppliers, analyze the parameter conditions to achieve supply chain coordination, and compare it with the separate government reserve model. We find that the bidirectional option model both increases the total quantity of government relief supplies reserves and reduces the risk of actual government storage of relief supplies. Finally, the numerical illustration and sensitivity analysis is performed to the bidirectional contract can be a win-win for government and suppliers, and the prepositioning quantity is positively related to the call option execution price and the put option execution price.

BCNC: A Reliable Transmission Mechanism for FANET Based on Network Coding

Communication links in flying ad-hoc networks (FANETs) often experience interruptions or intermittent interruptions. The interruption of links directly affects the reliability of data transmission between different nodes, and also increases the resource overhead and transmission delay of the network. Random linear network coding (RLNC) can adapt well to changes in network topology and has greater robustness to link quality. But its decoding success probability will significantly decrease with the increase of link hops. In this paper, we propose a reliable transmission mechanism of broadcasting collaborating with network coding based on RLNC. Through the coding gain of network coding and the gain of the designed broadcasting mechanism, it can effectively improve the packet transmission reliability of FANET nodes in the scenario with link interruption. The simulation results show that the proposed mechanism has higher data transmission reliability and less overhead ratio compared to the typical RLNC mechanism. Moreover, under the same overhead ratio, the data transmission reliability of the proposed mechanism is mostly superior to the retransmission redundancy mechanism Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ).

Enhancing Task Matching in Online Labor Markets Using Multi-field Features Interaction and Meta-learning

The online labor markets have facilitated the growth of customized services through digital platforms that connect employers with workers. However, the limited interactive information between workers and tasks has led to a “cold-start problem”, which limits the effectiveness of personalized task recommendation systems. To address this challenge, we purposed a personalized recommendation system for task recommendation, which combines the multi-field feature interaction and meta-learning. Our approach aims to lcapture concealed associations between multi-field features derived from both workers and tasks, thereby obtaining more meaningful worker preferences. Moreover, it captures workers personalized preferences with minimal interactions via meta learning, significantly enhancing cold-start recommendation performance. We evaluate the proposed model on a real-world dataset obtained from Freelancer.com, and the results demonstrate its superiority over three benchmark methods. By matching tasks with the most suitable workers, our system has the potential to reduce task completion times and enhance overall task quality.

Subsidizing Professional or Amateur Manufacturers? Government Subsidy Policies for Emergency Medical Production During COVID-19

Both professional and amateur manufacturers, subsidized by the governments, have joined the emergency production of personal protective equipment (PPE) to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. In this paper we examine the impacts of government financial subsidies on the pricing decisions of professional and amateur manufacturers and retailers concerning PPE supplies. Considering a two-supplier one-retailer supply chain, we build game-theoretic models and derive the players’ optimal pricing decisions. We explore the impacts of government subsidies under three different scenarios, namely subsidizing the manufacturers only, subsidizing the retailer only, and subsidizing both the manufacturers and retailer. Through sensitivity analyses of the key model parameters, we find that government subsidies can lower the retail price of PPE. We obtain the necessary conditions for when and how manufacturers and retailers should be subsidized to control the price of PPE. We also find that government subsidies can increase the consumers’ benefit by controlling their levels. Our study provides managerial insights on government subsidy policy design and the pricing decisions of substitute PPE supplies from different manufacturers during the pandemic.

Quality Disclosure and Advance Selling Under Consumer Risk Aversion

The disclosure of product quality information has an important impact on the members of the supply chain. Technological development allows manufacturing companies to obtain accurate quality information in advance, and at the same time forms information asymmetry between buyers and sellers, and sellers have more private information. Information disclosure can limitedly alleviate the information asymmetry between the two sides. This paper intends to explore the product quality information disclosure strategy in the supply chain. In the case of uncertain product quality, manufacturers can afford certain technical costs to obtain private information and decide whether to disclose information to update the buyer’s beliefs. The manufacturer sells the goods in two stages. In the first stage, the quality of the products is uncertain. According to the information disclosed, the buyer can choose the first stage to buy the goods at a discount but bear the uncertainty of the quality, and can also buy the goods in the second stage. This paper intends to establish a two-period game theory model to study the manufacturer’s equilibrium quality information disclosure strategy and revenue.

Research on the Emission Reduction Effect of High-Speed Rail and Its Impact Mechanism

Energy saving, and emission reduction are one of the most crucial tasks for the current and future high-quality progression of China’s economy and society, and as an efficient and healthy transportation mode, high-speed rail (HSR) is significant for improving China’s ecological environment. In this paper, we take the “quasi-natural experiment” of whether to open HSR as an opportunity to empirically analyze the mitigation effect of emissions, spatial heterogeneity, and mechanism of the effect of HSR’s opening based on the panel data of China from 2006 to 2020 and using double difference model. The results clarify that HSR can effectively suppress urban pollutant emissions, including urban sulfur dioxide emissions and wastewater emissions, with an emission reduction effect, and the subsequent robustness tests confirm this conclusion. Heterogeneity test’s results by region display that the effect of HSR on energy saving and emission reduction shows a decreasing trend from West, Central to East. Additionally, the operation of HSR declines the emission of pollutant sulfur dioxide mainly through the STI effect, and the impact on wastewater emission is not significant. In the current strategic context of a strong transportation country and green transportation, this study contributes to an in-depth understanding of the importance of upgrading transportation infrastructure for regional sustainable development.

Venture Capital Project Segmentation Supporting College Students’ Entrepreneurial Decisions

College students innovative undertaking can help improve the vitality of regional economic development. However, the success rate of college students’ entrepreneurship is not high due to the problems of inexperience and lack of capital. Some efforts are needed to ensure successful entrepreneurship for college students. Existing studies mainly focus on entrepreneurs themselves and the impact of the external environment on entrepreneurship without considering the abundant information in venture capital data. This study mines the data of venture capital projects from the perspective of entrepreneurial projects and investment events. Clustering, as a typical data mining task, can induce the commonness of similar data and distinguish the individuality of different data. Besides, clustering method is more suitable for handling unlabeled venture capital data than other supervised methods such as classification. Therefore, this study establishes a model of venture capital project segmentation based on clustering techniques. Specifically, to cope with the characteristics that the collected entrepreneurial data contain different types of attributes, the clustering algorithm for incomplete data sets with mixed numeric and categorical attributes is adopted and improved to subdivide entrepreneurial projects and investment events into five types, respectively. By analyzing the characteristics of each type, we summarize the general pattern of the same type of entrepreneurial projects and investment events to support college students’ entrepreneurial decisions or school and social assistance policy formulation.

The Ownership Background of Venture Capital and IPO Underpricing Rate

This paper takes listed companies with venture capital backgrounds in China’s SMEs, GEM from 2014–2019 and STAR from 2019–2020 April, divides venture capital ownership backgrounds, and adopts cross-sectional multiple regressions to explore the impact of venture capital ownership backgrounds on the IPO price suppression rate of invested firms and its mechanism of action. It is found that joint investment by venture capitalists with different ownership backgrounds can reduce the IPO price suppression rate of enterprises, and venture capitalists with Sino-foreign joint venture backgrounds have a positive effect on the IPO price suppression rate of enterprises. It is confirmed that joint investment can effectively reduce the IPO price suppression rate of enterprises by forming social networks and mobilizing resources to enhance enterprise value. The above-mentioned effects are significantly stronger in the STAR sample, indicating that the pilot registration system, with its multiple rounds of inquiries and public responses, effectively conveys information to the market, allowing investors to form more rational judgments, and has a more significant effect on reducing the IPO price suppression rate. Sino-foreign joint venture capital has a stronger positive effect on the IPO price suppression rate due to its high reputation, which attracts investors more significantly. The positive impact on the IPO price suppression rate is stronger.

Goods Quality Coordination Mechanism Design in Community Group-Buying Supply Chain

Community group buying is a new type of group buying. Similar to traditional group buying, it mainly relies on scale sales and word-of-mouth effects to create rich profits. The quality factor is particularly important in the operation process of community group buying. In this paper, we assume that there is a first-order linear function relationship between the quality effort of the group leader and the quality effort of the platform. The results show that the optimal quality effort is directly proportional to the quality effort coefficient and the profit-sharing coefficient, but inversely proportional to the cost coefficient. The optimal quality effort decision of the platform will also be affected by the Group-leader’s profit sharing. Under the goal of maximizing the total profit of the supply chain, this paper also obtains the profit-sharing coefficient between the platform and the group leader.

A Semiotic Framework for Data Asset Valuation

The valuation of data assets is a critical task in the digital economy, enabling organizations to make informed decisions and allocate resources effectively. However, traditional economic approaches to data asset valuation have limitations in capturing the distinct characteristics and challenges of data assets. In this paper, we propose a semiotic framework for data asset valuation, drawing inspiration from organizational semiotics. Our framework acknowledges that data valuation is a process of sense-making, known as semiosis, and identifies three key semiotic aspects - syntactics, semantics, and pragmatics - that shape the value realization of data assets. By incorporating crucial factors such as subjectivity, context dependency, and purpose dependency, we offer a structured approach comprising aspects, factors, and metrics for data asset valuation. The proposed framework not only contributes to advancing the field of data asset valuation but also serves as a foundation for further studies and exploration in this area.
