Why do major chemical accidents still happen in China: Analysis from a process safety management perspective

As an important consideration in the chemical industry, chemical process safety has received notable attention in China. However, catastrophic chemical accidents still occur. To better understand why accidents continue to occur, this paper presented a diagnostic analysis of 14 major chemical accidents in China from 2012 to 2022 based on VOSviewer software. The authors analysed the correlation between the accident causation and their relationship with the safety management elements. The study observed that inferior process safety culture, intentional violation (rule-breaking) of procedure, inadequate safety training, and illegal operations were the most frequent causes of accidents. These causes highlighted the prominent gaps in PSM in China in the process safety culture, compliance with standards, the conduct of operations, process safety competency, and training & performance assurance. The results based on co-occurrence analysis indicated a strong correlation between these gaps in PSM. Enterprises should pay attention to collaborative management among them. These deficiencies in the enterprise’s PSM system showed that the essential defects in China’s chemical industry are a poor safety culture, inadequate accident investigation, inadequate training, and a lack of chemical safety personnel. The study recommended that the chemical industry establish superior process safety culture and competency for all personnel, monitor leading and lagging process safety indicators, apply inherent safety, and practice advanced safety management concepts. We hope that the findings can provide China’s perspectives and strengths for global chemical safety.

Research on The Internal Control Framework of Large State-owned Enterprises Under Information-based Environment

In the information society and digital era, the information construction of the enterprise internal control framework is particularly important for enterprises to enhance their endogenous power and improve their management efficiency. In order to achieve increasingly powerful control functions and build an efficient overall enterprise internal control framework, we must rely on scientific and precise control means and efficient operation mechanisms. Under such circumstances, large state-owned enterprises should absorb and apply more advanced management concepts and actively innovate and optimize their management mode in order to improve their management level and enhance their comprehensive competitiveness and thus achieve long-term development in the fierce market competition. An important way for large state-owned enterprises to strengthen their management is to build an internal control system. The internal control system can regulate the operation of power, strengthen risk prevention and supervision of internal personnel and be a stimulus to large enterprises to reduce operating costs and increase economic efficiency.

Can the Growth of the Digital Economy Be Beneficial for Urban Decarbonization? A Study from Chinese Cities

An environmentally friendly city is a livable home for the future. Can the rapidly developing digital economy help decrease carbon emissions and realize a low-carbon and clean city promptly? This study focuses on examining how multi-dimensional digital economic growth has influenced CO2 emissions across 280 Chinese cities from 2011 to 2019. Findings discover that (1) An “n”-type curve nexus exists between CO2 emissions and the digital economy in Chinese cities, which means that digital economy expansion initially strengthens CO2 emissions, but at a certain level, it can help achieve the target of urban decarbonization; (2) The digital economy’s influence on CO2 emissions is spatially spilled and regionally heterogeneous, and by means of economies of scale and industrial composition upgrades, it can help the city to lower carbon emissions and benefit the low carbonization of neighboring cities. However, based on the “rebound effect”, the intermediary role of technological effects in reducing emissions in the short term is not apparent; (3) The expansion of trade openness and appropriately stringent environmental rules in line with national conditions are beneficial to lower CO2 emissions in the city and the surrounding cities in the short term. It is recommended that policy makers actively promote the development of the digital economy, strengthen exchanges and cooperation between cities, narrow the gap between cities, and actively learn the advanced management concepts of surrounding cities through the development of economies of scale and industrial structure transformation to accomplish the target of “carbon neutrality” sooner rather than later.

Research on the Application of Financial Management in Enterprise Management

With the rapid development of China's overall economy, China's current macroeconomic structure is gradually changing. In this economic situation, in the process of development and operation, enterprises need to use the current enterprise management mode to constantly improve and optimize, so as to guarantee the share of enterprises in the industrial market and improve the economic benefits of enterprises. Enterprise management method is one of the most important components in the enterprise management process, which has a decisive influence on the competitiveness of enterprises in the industrial market. Therefore, in the process of development, according to the economic development background of the current market, enterprises should organically combine the current enterprise development level with the advanced enterprise management concept, and then comprehensively improve the internal management level of enterprises. This paper mainly takes the enterprise financial management as the research topic, analyzes the current financial management problems existing in the enterprise management, and discusses the application strategy of the financial management in the enterprise management.

Review on comparative study of diverse wall materials for affordable housing

Modular Construction is a boon to the construction industry. Rapid construction methods are now evolving by the day. It is imperative to access these techniques on the basis of sustainability parameters. The advanced construction management concept such as fast track construction is being implemented in real estate industry with special focus on lean management. Ferro-cement panels, gypsum sheets, etc. are some of the precast members in construction which reduce the scheduled duration of the convectional project. It also significantly decreases the dead load of the structure. India’s focus on Sustainable Development goals has also conceptualized affordable housing as one of the methods to achieve it. The alternative for the conventional method of building houses is the use of ferrocement as it is cost effective. As the cost of constructing houses will reduce, the poor people living in slums area will afford to live in a hygienic place. This paper tries to analyze the two trending panel techniques namely: Gypsum & Ferro-cement on various technical aspects and the implication on affordable housing. Also, on conclusive note, the results of comparison are mentioned.

Analytical Comparison of German Owner’s Budget Estimate and Chinese Contractor’s Bid: A Case Study for a Warehouse Building Project in China

Nowadays, the need for scientific and modernized engineering cost management has been increasingly prominent. Hence, this study compared the differences of the quantities’ terms, the management philosophy, the related institutions (or specifications), and other factors in engineering cost management between China and Germany accompanied by a case study for a warehouse building project in China. There are two main parts. Firstly, according to the literature research, the comparative analysis was conducted on the engineering cost-control mode, the list of bills of quantities, and other parameters between China and Germany. On the basis of this, the “differences” between China and Germany especially in the bidding process were further studied with the empirical analysis of engineering cases, which is a supplementary argument to the theoretical analysis. Finally, several related suggestions were put forward, including proposing a set of “universal” bills of quantities (which can be understood by Chinese enterprises and also accepted by foreign-funded enterprises), the establishment of the whole process, a dynamic and information-based project cost-management system, cultivation of talents with the advanced management concept, and the development of international engineering companies and project-management companies with core competitiveness. The conclusions are expected to provide some references for China’s construction industry to further expand the international market and to increase the influences in global markets.

The Evolution of Factors Influencing Green Technological Progress in Terms of Carbon Reduction: A Spatial-Temporal Tactic Within Agriculture Industries of China

The impacts of widespread carbon emission trends possessed tremendous pressure for global food security, sustainable development, and ecosystems. Several temporal and spatial patterns of green technology have been adopted to reduce carbon emissions in different regions of China. In China, agriculture industries may have colossal importance for reducing carbon emissions. On the basis of the data from 1998 to 2018, the study uses the heterogeneous stochastic frontier model to quantify the carbon emission reduction potential of agricultural green technology progress in eastern, central, and western regions of China by using the heterogeneous stochastic frontier model. We also analyze the coefficient of variation and its spatial and temporal evolution pattern of carbon intensity decline potential index and explore the potential factors related to the agriculture green technology progress of China. The finding of the study revealed that the carbon emission rate in the agriculture industry of China is very high, whereas adopting green technology is slower because of economic and policy-related factors—the carbon emission of green technological progress. In terms of spatial variations, the changes in various regions were consistent with the overall fluctuating rate compared with the state of another country, but an increasing trend has been traced within the “east-central-west” regions. The overall regional differences are gradually trending, but differences between regions mainly cause them. The increase in the structure of the agricultural agriculture industry, the level of labor, and the increase in administrative environmental regulations will weaken the obstacles to the carbon emission reduction potential of green technological progress. The increase in urbanization, the level of the agricultural economy, and economic and environmental regulations will increase the carbon emission reduction potential of green technological progress. It is necessary to actively promote exchanges and cooperation in green agricultural technology and advanced management concepts, accelerate the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure, and achieve the goal of peaking carbon emissions through regional coordinated development. Regionally, the overall external environment and the level of green technology progress in the western region need to be improved in all respects. The central and eastern regions need to focus on combining different policy tools to transform them from hindrance to promotion.

Research on the Integration Development Mode of China’s Media Industry and Capital Market

With the rapid development of Internet and digital technology, China’s media industry has been developing rapidly in this context, but at the same time, it also exposed some practical problems such as the shortage of funds. The effective integration with the capital market is the future development trend. Therefore, this paper establishes the research on the integration development mode of China’s media industry and capital market. This paper makes an in-depth study on the current media industry and capital market. Through this study, it is believed that the current media industry in China has reached the bottleneck of development, and the shortage of funds has restricted the sustainable development of enterprises. The capital market is also optimistic about the market prospect of media industry, but it is subject to the current open policy and market environment. In view of this situation, this paper analyzes the structure of the media industry and the main forms of the extra industry capital entering the media industry. It is believed that the biggest reason for the media industry’s demand for capital comes from the fact that many media enterprises have changed from the original public institutions into self-financing enterprises without the financial support of the government. In this paper, combined with the main characteristics of China’s media industry, as well as the current capital market environment, integrated with advanced financial management concepts, put forward the development of media financing mode with Chinese characteristics, which makes up for the shortcomings of the current media financing mode.

An SGBM-XVA demonstrator: a scalable Python tool for pricing XVA

In this work, we developed a Python demonstrator for pricing total valuation adjustment (XVA) based on the stochastic grid bundling method (SGBM). XVA is an advanced risk management concept which became relevant after the recent financial crisis. This work is a follow-up work on Chau and Oosterlee in (Int J Comput Math 96(11):2272–2301, 2019), in which we extended SGBM to numerically solving backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs). The motivation for this work is basically two-fold. On the application side, by focusing on a particular financial application of BSDEs, we can show the potential of using SGBM on a real-world risk management problem. On the implementation side, we explore the potential of developing a simple yet highly efficient code with SGBM by incorporating CUDA Python into our program.

Periodic nano-textures enhance efficiency in multi-junction silicon thin-film solar cells

In this work, we report on the prototyping of thin-film silicon tandem solar cells with periodic light-trapping textures. Our approach combines an industrial applicable nano-imprint process, for the fabrication of advanced light management concepts, with state-of-the-art thin film silicon solar cell technology. In a joint experimental effort between project partners of the European thin-film silicon project “Fast-Track”, we demonstrate that optimal periodic light-trapping nano-textures at the front-side of a multi-junction solar cell enhance the power conversion efficiency of the device in comparison to solar cells with conventional textured TCO (transparent conductive oxide) front contacts from 11.7% to 12.1%. This improved power conversion efficiency is mainly driven by an enhancement of the short-circuit current density through the use of periodic light-trapping nano-textures.
