The influence of service performance in China's sci-tech commissioner system: Using social network analysis and interpretable machine learning

The Sci-Tech Commissioner System (SCS) is a result of exploratory efforts by the Chinese government to use science and technology to strengthen the agricultural sector. Social network analysis (SNA) and machine learning (ML) techniques make it feasible to assess the service performance in China's SCS by using indicators such as group types and structure features. In this study, SNA and a clustering algorithm were employed to categorize service group types of sci-tech commissioners. By comparing the accuracy of different classification algorithms in predicting the clustering results, LightGBM algorithm was finally select to determine the clustering features of sci-tech commissioners and establish an interpretable ML model. Then, the SHAP was used to algorithm to analyze influences affecting service performance. Results show that the service forms of sci-tech commissioners are group-oriented, and that group types include small groups of young commissioners with close cooperation, larger groups of young and middle-aged commissioners, small groups of middle-aged and old commissioners with close cooperation, and isolated points of highly-influential commissioners. Furthermore, while group size is not the determinant of a commissioner's average performance, group structure and coordination ability were found to be more critical. Moreover, while differences in distinct types of service performance are caused by various factors, but good group structures and extensive social contacts are essential for high service performance.

Examining the Problems and Solutions to Facilitate the Payment and Receipt of Health Taxes.

In addition to creating significant health gains, taxation can be used to increase public health funding. However, achieving the goals of health-related taxes faces many barriers and problems. We aimed to examine the barriers and solutions to facilitate the payment and receipt of health taxes. The present descriptive and analytical study was conducted in 2021-2022. The first part of the research was the questionnaire's design and validation, and the second part was using the designed questionnaire to collect and analyze data. The validity of the questionnaire was measured using the content validity, and the reliability of the questionnaire was measured using Cronbach's alpha. Then, the questionnaires were distributed in person at the workplace of 430 professors, managers, and experts in economics and health, and the collected data were reviewed and analyzed. Barriers and problems related to structure and infrastructure, evasion, avoidance, and tax exemption, and coordination and cooperation are the most important problems related to health taxes. Moreover, evasion, avoidance and tax exemption, cultural and social issues, and coordination and cooperation are the most important solutions to overcome the problems of health taxes. To dispel the barriers and facilitate the payment and receipt of health-related taxes and achieve the goals of the health sectors, it is very important to deal with tax evasion, build a culture, and close cooperation with related organizations.

РОМАНТИЗМ И КОНСТРУКТИВИЗМ В ПОЛЬСКОМ ТЕАТРЕ 1920-1930-Х ГОДОВ

In the 1920-1930s, Polish theatre was experiencing a turn to new comprehension of the practice of stage space organization – the art of scenography was developing. It replaced the practice of creating theatrical decorations for garnishing the play and constituting the background for the action. The new scenography declared itself to be an art of the stage space composing. The development of new theatrical practice was influenced by constructivist spatial and rhythmical perception of environment, which Polish artists were improving in close cooperation with avant-garde architects. A similar approach to the stage design is common for the whole European theatre in the first decades of XX century, however the distinction of theatrical avant-garde in Poland came out as a special reference of the culture to its past and in particular to the romanticism heritage. Polish theatrical avant-garde, which came at restoration of independence time, was developing on overlap of the national myth and new unexplored freedom. Artists of the first half of XX century managed to disengage from the romantic myth only in some measure, but instead of resetting the national heroes and their heritage from the ship of modernity they turned to search for the new forms to embody that matter. The article reviews Polish theatre of the 1920-1930-s in the context of Polish romantic tradition on the one hand and constructivism, promoted by new avant-garde artist collectives – on the other. As an example of integration of two movements, a brief description of the unique project of Simultaneous theatre, created by stage designer Andrzej Pronaszko and architect Szymon Syrkus is given.

Антропологические исследования в советских лагерях для военнопленных в 1940-е гг.

The article fills an important gap in the history of Russian (Soviet) physical anthropology. Based on previously secret archival papers discovered by the author, the history of anthropological research in prisoner-of-war camps on the territory of the USSR in the 1940s is revealed. Following the example of anthropologists during World War I, Soviet anthropologists, led by Viktor Bunak, initiated and carried out an extensive research program under the auspices of the Presidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences in close cooperation with the NKVD authorities. The published archival materials strictly document the work of the scientists, who in 1943 proposed the idea of this large-scale study, and presented the project to the Deputy Chairman of the Council of People’s Commissars, Andrey Vyshinsky. The immediate permission to conduct the expedition was personally given by Lavrentiy Beria. The project was carried out in 1944–1946 under strict secrecy, which also was extended to the publication of its results. Specific information is provided on the conduct of anthropological research in a number of prisoner-of-war camps, the composition of the expedition, instructions, and methodologies. The article analyzes the reasons why the entire history and results of this project remained classified as secret until the collapse of the USSR. The article is preceded by a review of anthropological research by Russian (Soviet) scientists involving special contingents as informants, explaining why special contingents (army conscripts, military personnel, mentally ill individuals, prisoners in prisons and camps) were actively used in anthropological research.

Spinal cord ischemia - from diagnosis to treatment.

The aim of the article is to outline the frequency of the occurrence, course, diagnosis and possible treatment of spinal cord ischemia (SCI) on the basis of a literature overview and to raise awareness of this rare yet devastating condition. SCI, when compared to cerebral stroke, is a relatively rare disease, being diagnosed 100 times less often. Our knowledge as to its root causes, proper treatment for it and long-term prognosis is still inconclusive. Magnetic resonance imaging with diffusion- weighted contrast is a main tool with which to confirm SCI and rule out a broad spectrum of possible alternative diagnoses. SCI is a condition in which prompt recognition, accurate diagnostic steps, and reperfusion therapy are essential to ensure a desirable functional outcome and reduce mortality and disability. Although there are no specific guidelines regarding treatment, the administration of rt-PA might be an effective therapy for acute ischemic stroke, preventing permanent spinal dysfunction. In surgical causes close cooperation between a neurologist and a neurosurgeon is necessary to provide combined appropriate management promptly. Due to the relative rarity of SCI, multi-center studies of ischemia of the spinal cord and its treatment would be advisable in neurological practice to enhance current knowledge. A rapid diagnosis is crucial for appropriate care and desirable long-term outcomes.

Hydrodynamics and water quality of a highly anthropized wetland: the case study of the Massaciuccoli basin (Tuscany, Italy)

Owing to increasing anthropogenic impacts, wetlands have suffered a serious environmental decline in recent decades. The sustainable management of these natural resources is fundamental to maintain both the ecosystems and the economic activities. The Lake Massaciuccoli and nearby areas represent one of the largest residual coastal marshy areas in Tuscany (Italy). This wetland is characterized by large-scale and intensive agricultural use and affected by reclamation activities, with consequent problems of erosion, subsidence and lake eutrophication and siltation. In this context, an integrated study combining hydrochemical data (water levels, electrical conductivity, pH, turbidity, major ions, trace metals) and stable isotopes (H, O, S) has been performed in the southernmost part of the basin, to better disentangle processes and interactions between groundwater and surface water and to understand the origin of solutes and their evolution. Our results indicated that both groundwater and surface water have a meteoric origin and that geochemical composition of groundwater is mainly affected by local geological and biological processes. Moreover, surface water is affected by sea water mixing and evapotranspiration/precipitation processes. The impact of agricultural activity and the use of fertilizers on the water quality appears to be limited as regards nitrates, indicating that less intense agricultural practices implemented in recent years have been successful. As regards sulfates, Fe, and Mn, we cannot fully elucidate the mechanisms underlying human influence, but the oscillation of water level and degradation of peat enhanced by reclamation and agriculture activities likely played an important role in controlling the fate of these elements. Overall, these results underline the importance of integrated approaches to disentangle geochemical processes and will be useful in supporting policy implementation and environmental protection in this valuable area of Tuscany. Findings from this work suggest the need for policy-making authorities to take actions as soon as possible to mitigate risks. Closer co-operation is essential between authorities and farmers to reduce inputs of fertilizers and chemicals into the lake and the surrounding area. Also, additional policy measures should be enforced to reduce the mechanical soil tillage and limit erosion and runoff, such as the NBSs implemented within the Phusicos Project.

A bibliometric perspective on the occurrence and migration of microplastics in soils amended with sewage sludge.

The land application of sewage sludge from wastewater treatment plants has been recognized as a major source of microplastic contamination in soil. Nevertheless, the fate and behavior of microplastics in soil remain uncertain, particularly their distribution and transport, which are poorly understood. This study does a bibliometric analysis and visualization of relevant research publications using the CiteSpace software. It explores the limited research available on the topic, highlighting the potential for it to emerge as a research hotspot in the future. Chinese researchers and institutions are paying great attention to this field and are promoting close academic cooperation among international organizations. Current research hot topics mainly involve microplastic pollution caused by the land application of sewage sludge, as well as the detection, environmental fate, and removal of microplastics in soil. The presence of microplastics in sludge, typically ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of particles (p)/kg, inevitably leads to their introduction into soil upon land application. In China, the estimated annual accumulation of microplastics in the soil due to sludge use is approximately 1.7 × 1013 p. In European countries, the accumulation ranges from 8.6 to 71 × 1013 p. Sludge application has significantly elevated soil microplastic concentrations, with higher application rates and frequencies resulting in up to several-fold increases. The primary forms of microplastics found in soils treated with sludge are fragments and fibers, primarily in white color. These microplastics consist primarily of components such as polyamide, polyethylene, and polypropylene. The vertical transport behavior of microplastics is influenced by factors such as tillage, wind, rainfall, bioturbation, microplastic characteristics (e.g., fraction, particle size, and shape), and soil physicochemical properties (e.g., organic matter, porosity, electrical conductivity, and pH). Research indicates that microplastics can penetrate up to 90 cm into the soil profile and persist for decades. Microplastics in sewage sludge-amended soils pose potential long-term threats to soil ecosystems and even human health. Future research should focus on expanding the theoretical understanding of microplastic behavior in these soils, enabling the development of comprehensive risk assessments and informed decision-making for sludge management practices. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Microplastics in sewage sludge range from tens to hundreds of thousands per kilogram. Sludge land application contributes significantly to soil microplastic pollution. The main forms of microplastics in sludge-amended soils are fragments and fibers. Microplastics are mainly composed of polyamide, polyethylene, and polypropylene. Microplastics can penetrate up to 90 cm into the soil profile and persist for decades.

THE ARAB POLITICS OF IRAQ DURING THE BAATH PARTY RULE: BETWEEN THEORY AND PRACTICE

The paper analyzes one of the priority aspects of Iraq's foreign policy during the reign of the Ba’ath Party (1968-2003), relations with Arab countries. This policy was elevated to the rank of the most important state strategy and was given a special role in the scale of foreign policy priorities. It was allocated to an exceptional part of state politics, called “Arab politics”, “al-siyasa al-arabiyya”. The research examines the basic ideological and theoretical principles of Ba’athism, which formed the basis of “Arab politics” and on the basis of which the ruling Baath of Iraq built its relations with Arab countries. In this vein, it considers the fundamental principle of Ba'athism, the idea of "Arab unity", which constituted the first element of the party's slogan "Unity, freedom, socialism" and within the framework of which, at certain stages, Ba'ath sought to closely interact with Arab countries. Analyzing official documents, the author concludes that on the issue of Arab unity, Iraq could only unite with those countries that had political systems identical to it. Based on this logic, it becomes clear that among the Arab countries with which Iraq shared common ideological and political principles, Syria, as well as one of the centers of Arab nationalism, Egypt could be natural partners of Iraq within the framework of integration processes in the Arab world. In addition, these countries were among the countries that Iraq considered as opposing Israel and with which it primarily sought to establish close cooperation, including in the military sphere, to resolve the Palestinian problem. It was noted, however, that the radicalism of official Baghdad on this issue not only placed Iraq in isolation in the Arab world, but also sometimes created obstacles to inter-Arab integration and cooperation. Often in his policies there was a deep gap between the declared principles and their practical implementation. Within the framework of “Arab politics”, the article examines in detail Iraqi-Syrian and Iraqi-Egyptian bilateral relations throughout the entire period of the Baath Party’s rule in Iraq, revealing their most characteristic features and peculiarities.

Economic strategies for the development of inclusive tourism for the rehabilitation and reintegration of veterans: current challenges and prospects

Methods. The research used a needs-based approach to assess the needs of veterans and identify ways in which inclusive tourism can meet these needs. Analysis of social entrepreneurship models using the method of analogy made it possible to adapt successful approaches from other industries to the development of inclusive tourism. Network analysis was applied to assess the external environment and relationships between stakeholders, as well as resource analysis (ResourceBased View, RBV) to assess the industry’s internal resources. A comparative analysis of international experience helped determine best practices that can be adapted to Ukrainian conditions. Results. It was found that inclusive tourism is an effective tool for the rehabilitation and reintegration of veterans, ensuring their socio-economic adaptation in the post-war period. Analysis of the needs of veterans showed that the main ones (access to medical and psychological support, professional rehabilitation and social integration) can be partially satisfied thanks to the development of inclusive tourism. The adaptation of social entrepreneurship models to the conditions of inclusive tourism made it possible to determine effective mechanisms for its financing. Network analysis revealed that the successful implementation of these mechanisms requires close cooperation between state authorities, the private sector and non-governmental organizations. Novelty. It was established that the development of inclusive tourism in Ukraine, which is focused on the rehabilitation and reintegration of veterans, can be significantly enhanced through the use of social entrepreneurship models that have not previously been used in this context. It was found that the adaptation of these models, in particular the introduction of social bonds and tax benefits, can ensure the sustainable financial development of inclusive tourism and, on this basis, meet the specific needs of veterans. Practical value. Specific recommendations for economic policy aimed at the development of inclusive tourism in Ukraine, with a special emphasis on the rehabilitation and reintegration of veterans, are offered. The introduction of social entrepreneurship models, in particular through social obligations and tax incentives, provides an opportunity to create sustainable economic conditions for the development of this sector. Such approaches contribute not only to meeting the needs of veterans, but also to intensifying the participation of the private sector and civil society in the economic development of the country.

Data science in economy and finance: A central bank perspective

Data science is fundamentally different from traditional data analysis, as it typically applies to large, complex and/or unstructured information sets. The role of data scientists, hence, lies at the intersection of three areas. The first is IT: central banks are increasingly aware that a modern technological architecture is crucial to reliably and securely deal with data. The second relates to the use of mathematical and statistical techniques to deal with the raw data at hand. This paper analyses how many different approaches can help support central banks’ operations, especially in the monetary policy and micro- and macroprudential areas, as well tasks related to the functioning of the payment system, financial inclusion, consumer protection and anti-money laundering. It presents how, in addition, the use of the new techniques could transform the whole production chain of official statistics, making it potentially more efficient, resilient and user-friendly. The third key area is to ensure close cooperation between data specialists and subject-matter experts involved in data science projects. Analysing statistics calls for an awareness of the way they have been compiled as well as of the complex factors that drive them — which are essential elements for transforming data into knowledge and taking informed policy decisions.

마을교육 생태계 조성을 위한 서울시 초·중등 마을결합형학교 운영사례 분석 및 함의

Objectives The purposes of this study were to examine the cases of village-linked schools’ operation report that were operated in elementary and secondary level schools between 2015 year and 2020 in Seoul ito identify the features and implications of village-linked schools policy. Methods The conceptual framework of analysis was developed to analyze the village-linked schools’ operation reports and then examine the 40 reports of schools using the content analysis methods. Results First, the village-linked schools appears to understand the importance of philosophy and visions of vil-lage-linked schools but they were unable to create the circumstance and cultures of schools for the task. Second, most schools only set up a task-force team with just several staff members for village-linked school activities showing limitations to construct an effective system and organization for the task. Third, the curriculum and les-sons for village-linked schools were limited to foster the students’ competency and achievement of study. Fourth, the schools tried to share their resources with the village but encountered leadership role limitations in the village. Fifth, most village-linked schools didn’t make an effort to assess students’ competencies and share their achievement. They need to emphasize and share the students’ positive results and achievements obtained by this task with society. Conclusions First, the operation and system based on the five main divisions of village-linked schools that were utilized for this analysis need close and effective cooperation to succeed and reach the goals of the policy. Second, the people in the schools need to understand the philosophy and values of village-linked schools and then to maintain the operation for many years. Third, most importantly the effective curriculum should be developed and the innovation of lesson and assessment of students’ achievement also should be conducted to succeed the new educational paradigm of village-linked schools.

Right sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia

Introduction: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a rare affection, has been classified as posterolateral, anterior or central. The posterolateral defect occurs on the left side (85%), although it may involve the right side (13%) or be bilateral (2%). Patients and methods: We report the evolution after surgical treatment of right diaphragmatic hernia in one case. Results: A male neonate, born via uncomplicated vaginal delivery at a gestational age of 10 days, weighed 3.8 kg at birth and initially presented with weak crying and a dusky skin tone. He required intubation and was placed on a ventilator. Subsequent imaging studies including chest radiography and CT scan revealed a right congenital diaphragmatic hernia, while ultrasound confirmed the presence of pulmonary hypertension. Following stabilization, the newborn underwent thoracotomy surgery, during which intraoperative exploration revealed the entire liver within the thoracic cavity along with intestinal loops. The liver was challenging to maneuver but was successfully relocated into the abdomen, and the intestinal loops were reduced. Repair of the diaphragmatic defect was accomplished using non-absorbable sutures. Following surgery, the neonate was transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), where a postoperative chest radiograph on the fourth day showed expansion of the right lung. Over the subsequent two years, the patient's condition remained stable without the development of respiratory complications or worsening symptoms. Conclusion: Success in this difficult case is optimized by close cooperation between the neonatologist, anesthesiologist, and pediatric surgeon. Although the hospital stay was prolonged, the survival outcome is excellent in this high-risk case.

현행 역사교과서 내 한국 고대사 분야에 대한 고고학 관련 서술 검토

This paper is about the basic framework and archaeological descriptions of the ancient Korean history in the current history textbook in middle and high school. History textbooks are the most fundamental to history education, and it is necessary to review the descriptions in the field of archaeology at a time when public interest in archaeology is increasing. As a result of examining various history textbooks, it was found that the ancient history section not only fails to properly reflect the results of archaeological surveys and research in Korean historical archaeology, but also contains errors in related descriptions and some visual materials due to the lack of understanding of archaeological materials and the failure to properly reflect the latest research results by the writing team composed of only history majors. Due to the biased composition of writers consisting of only history majors, errors were found in related descriptions and visual materials due to lack of understanding of archaeological materials or lack of understanding of the latest research and research results. The ancient field has limitations only with the study of literature history due to the lack of historical records, so assistance in the field of archaeology dealing with material data is essential. In order to properly implement historical education, close cooperation between archaeology, history, education, and the education sector is necessary. First, the archaeological community should start by communicating with the history community, which is actively participating in the writing of history textbooks, in order to form a consensus, and then strive to improve the descriptions and system of history textbooks in a more desirable direction through cooperation with the education community in the future. In the case of history textbooks currently being written, at least the participation of archaeologists in the review process is essential.

Inovasi Sistem Administrasi Menuju Desa Digital dan Penyuluhan Tentang Pencegahan Stunting di Desa Ruhing Raya

KKN is a mandatory program for students at the higher education level that aims to prepare students as successors of national development who are able to solve problems in society. KKN can help community development through various activities, including digital transformation and stunting prevention. Based on the results of KKN in Ruhing Raya Village, Gunung Bintang Awai District, South Barito Regency, Central Kalimantan Province, it can be concluded that KKN has had a positive impact on digital transformation and stunting prevention in Ruhing Raya Village. To improve the effectiveness of digital transformation, it is necessary to conduct socialization and training on the use of DigiDes to village officials and the community. In addition, village officials need to be more committed to using DigiDes. To improve the effectiveness of stunting prevention, it is necessary to conduct regular monitoring and evaluation of the programs that have been implemented. In addition, closer cooperation between the village government, health center, and the community needs to be improved.

Practicing Multilevel Governance: The Revision of the Piedmont Regional Territorial Plan

The regional level plays a relevant role in spatial governance and planning in Europe, as it constitutes the most suitable scale to both program European Union funding and territorialize international development strategies. In this light, regional spatial planning instruments play a crucial role in translating general objectives and recommendations (e.g., those included in the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development) in place-based implementation practices. This contribution reflects upon the implementation of a methodology aimed at engaging a multidisciplinary team of students in the revision of the Piedmont regional territorial plan (PTR), developed in close cooperation with the regional public administration. This problem-based learning activity supported the integration of supranational strategic objectives and funding streams with the regional territorial development priorities. In so doing, it represents a possible way to practice multilevel governance in concrete terms, employing the PTR as a meaningful catalyst.

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the difficulties faced by a primary care physician at the time of diagnosis in making a diagnosis and the need for medical compliance for the proper management of patients with comorbid pathology. Materials and methods. 3 clinical cases of patients examined from complaints and objective data to laboratory and instrumental examination methods are presented. Analysis of patient outpatient records under observation and treated at the Voronezh City Clinical Polyclinic No. 4. Study of the provided medical documentation, anamnesis data, and conclusions of specialist doctors. The results of ECG, EEG, ultrasound, MRI and RCT of the brain, ENMG, CT of the OGK, and laboratory data were analyzed. Results. The importance of the clinical picture totality in every case, close attention to routine blood tests in the practice of a neurologist, the importance of the data obtained together and separately, close cooperation with related specialists as part of the medical commission is shown. Conclusion. Neurological manifestations of the disease occur in various other pathologies. Therefore, it is very important to take into account all deviations when examining a patient, since sometimes the true diagnosis is masked by other diseases. Only an integrated approach in the examination of patients with complex cases allows us to make a correct diagnosis and conduct adequate therapy.

Non-small cell lung cancer and metabolism research from 2013 to 2023: a visual analysis and bibliometric study.

As one of the most prevalent primary lung tumors, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has garnered considerable research interest due to its high metastasis rates and poor prognosis outcomes. Across different cancer types, metabolic processes are required for tumors progression and growth, thus interfering with such processes in NSCLC may therapeutically viable for limiting/halting disease progression. Therefore, comprehending how metabolic processes contribute to growth and survival mechanisms in cancers, including NSCLC, may elucidate key functions underpinning tumor cell metabolism. However, no bibliometric analyses have been published in this field, therefore we address this knowledge gap here. Between 2013 and 2023 (December 28th), articles related to the NSCLC and metabolism (NSCLC-Met) field were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). To fully dissect NSCLC-Met research directions and articles, we used the Bibliometrix package in R, VOSviewer and CiteSpace software to visually represent global trends and hotspots. Between 2013 and 2023, 2,246 NSCLC-Met articles were retrieved, with a continuous upward trend and rapid development observed year on year. Cancers published the most articles, with Cancer Research recording the highest average citation numbers. Zhang Li from China was the most prolific author, but the highest number of authors came from the USA. China, USA, and Italy were the top three countries with the highest number of published articles, with close cooperation identified between countries. Recent hotspots and research directions were reflected by "lung adenocarcinoma", "immunotherapy", "nivolumab", "checkpoint inhibitors", "blockade", and "pembrolizumab", while "gut microbiome", "egfr" and "dose painting" were important topics for researchers. From our analyses, scientists can now explore new hotspots and research directions in the NSCLC-Met field. Further in-depth research in this field will undoubtedly provide more new insights on disease diagnostics, treatment, and prognostics.

Synergistic industrial agglomeration, new quality productive forces and high-quality development of the manufacturing industry

This study analysed the impact of the mechanism of the synergistic agglomeration of manufacturing and modern service industries on the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry using the entropy value method, coupling coordination degree, and E-G index. We utilised panel data of 30 provinces and cities in China from 2012 to 2022. The study found that synergistic agglomeration significantly promotes the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry, in which ‘new quality productive forces’ play a key intermediary effect, while the innovation ecosystem has direct and indirect moderating effects on the relationship between the two. Simultaneously, industrial synergistic agglomeration, development of new productivity, construction of innovation ecosystems, and high-quality development of the manufacturing industry in all provinces and cities showed a steady increase; however, there were significant differences between regions. Based on the findings of the study, policy recommendations are suggested to further promote the synergistic development of the manufacturing industry and modern service industry. At the policy level, the government should strengthen the guidance and support of industrial synergistic agglomeration and formulate differentiated policies to promote industrial synergistic agglomeration; simultaneously, it should pay attention to the cultivation of new productivity and the construction of innovation ecosystems, optimise the allocation of innovation resources, and stimulate the vitality of innovation. At the industrial level, manufacturing enterprises should actively cooperate with modern service enterprises to achieve resource sharing and technological complementation; modern service industries should improve service quality and efficiency to meet the needs of manufacturing transformation and upgrading; and close cooperation between the industry, academia, and research institutes should be established to promote technological innovation and industrial upgradation.
