Designing quantum blockchain system integrated with 6G network

The sixth-generation (6G) network utilizes state-of-the-art machine learning technology and obtains high attention, while the fifth-generation (5G) industry is still developing globally. Unfortunately, 6G encounters challenges to achieve performance superiority, such as scalability, massive connection, integrity, and trust. As a result, future network technologies are migrating away from centralized management entities and toward decentralized and distributed ledger technology, such as blockchain. However, the security of the blockchain is based on the computational complexity of solving specific mathematical problems that are impossible to solve on existing computers in real-time. On the other hand, quantum computers can effortlessly translate such problems with easy decryption. As a result, this study presents an architecture demonstrating the integration of quantum blockchain (QBC) with 6G networks. To show the quantum advantage, highly entangled/secured QBC of 5-, 6-, and 7-qubits are used to create the above system’s quantum circuits. After circuit optimization, mitigation is executed with the efficiency analysis to show the advantage of the error mitigation approach in recreating the state of the QBC circuit and executing on quantum hardware. Furthermore, quantum algorithms of blockchain smart provenience contracts for the cloud-centric Internet of Things (IoT) are proposed, and corresponding quantum circuits are designed. The possible outcomes from these circuits based on the input transaction information are verified.

Analysis of the Problems and Countermeasures in the Transfer of Land Management Rights in Taixing City, Jiangsu Province

The focus of farmers' work is on land. In order to promote the rural economy and help farmers lift themselves out of poverty and become prosperous, the government has introduced a series of support policies, including land contracting, which involves contracting rural land and promoting large-scale development. Since the second round of land contracting, grassroots management departments have increasingly standardized land transfer management. The legal concept of land transfer for land contracting and management entities is gradually improving. However, there are deficiencies in land transfer, contract regulations, and transfer supervision, especially in rural areas where private verbal agreements for transfer and transfer without registration are common, as loopholes in some processes result in the inability to guarantee the interests of farmers. In the process of promoting the transformation of agriculture, it is necessary to carry out the transfer of agricultural land. This measure can make agriculture more modular and is a specific measure and practical necessity to achieve professional management. Standardizing and orderly rural land transfer and continuously strengthening land supervision are directly related to the transformation, upgrading, and high-quality development of agriculture in the future.The article conducts research on the transfer of agricultural land in Taixing City. By collecting data and conducting on-site research, it summarizes the development stage and characteristics of agricultural land transfer work: fast growth rate, wide area; The scale of agricultural land transfer is rapidly expanding and growing; The process is not standardized, and the existing process is difficult to fully cover the work. There are still non-standard situations such as private circulation and verbal agreements.

Analysis of Centralized Efficiency Improvement Practices in Australian Public Health Systems.

Analysis of centralized efficiency improvement practices in Australian public health systems. Public health systems seek to maximize outcomes generated for resources used through efficiency improvement (EI) in response to funding and demand pressures. Despite this focus, evidence for EI approaches at the whole-of-system level is lacking in the literature. There is an urgent need for evidence-based approaches to centralized EI to address these pressures. This study aims to address this gap by answering the research question "How is EI conceptualized and managed by central public health system management entities in Australia?". Document analysis was selected due to its suitability for systematically searching and appraising health system documentation, with this study following Altheide's approach focusing on whole-of-system strategic plan and management framework documents originating from Australian public health organizations. Conceptualization of efficiency varied substantially with no consistent definition identified, however common attributes included resource use, management, service and delivery. Forty-two of 43 documents contained approaches associated with improving efficiency at the whole of system level. While no comprehensive framework for centralized EI was evident, we identified nine core approaches which together characterize centralized EI. Together these approaches represent a comprehensive evidence-based approach to EI at the whole of system level. The approaches to whole-of-system EI identified in this study are likely to be highly transferable across health systems internationally with approaches including strategic priority setting, incentivization, performance support, use of EI evidence, digital enablement and workforce capability development.

FORMATION OF A SYSTEM OF CREATIVE MANAGEMENT AT THE ENTERPRISE

Relevance. At the present stage of society's development, new socio-economic processes are coming to the fore, which are inextricably linked to a new understanding of the essence of a person, with the growing role of the individual. In a time of market oversaturation, creativity is the key to a company's competitiveness. Ensuring the continuous development of the enterprise and its competitiveness in the context of capital intellectualization is impossible without the formation of personnel with the necessary knowledge and competencies. The purpose of the study. The purpose of the article is to study the possibilities of applying the creative management system in organizations and enterprises in the field of culture and art in the context of complex socio-economic changes: digitalization, quarantine restrictions, development of information resources that require new approaches to management. Methodology. The study used methods based on general economic statements, in particular, general scientific methods of analysis - detailing individual factors; comparison - highlighting the common features of the impact of individual factors and the method of logical comparison, as well as specific modeling methods - creating models for analyzing the internal environment and expert assessments - summarizing the results of the impact of internal environment factors. Results. One of the main components of the potential for enterprise development is the intellectual resources of management entities. Considering that management entities have different levels of professional training, work experience, collective and individual goals based on needs, preferences, ambitions, etc., the use of intellectual resources for the development of an organization is quite problematic. The concept of creative management is a combination of three concepts: "creativity", "management" and "organization". The term "creativity" (English: creativity, Latin. "creatio) means the creation of something new. There are two main criteria for assessing creativity: the result (quantity and quality); rejection of strategic stereotypes of thinking and action. The study examined the possibilities of applying the creative management system at enterprises in the context of complex socio-economic changes: digitalization, quarantine restrictions, development of information resources that require new approaches to management, identified theoretical aspects of the formation of a creative management system at an enterprise; characterized creativity as a modern trend in enterprise management and formed the principles of creative management implementation, as well as proposed styles for use. Practical significance. The results of this study can be used by enterprises to intensify the generation of ideas, improve the moral and psychological climate in the team and increase the realization of the human potential of employees. Prospects for further research. Further study requires research and definition of the tools of creative management and adaptation of methods and tools to the activities of enterprises in various fields of activity in order to obtain new data on the effectiveness of the application of certain criteria of enterprise activity. Problem statement. In the context of intellectualization of capital, the so-called innovative employees are of particular value to the enterprise, whose competencies include creativity, originality of ideas, creativity, and non-standard approaches to solving professional problems. In line with these trends, a specific branch of management has emerged - creative management, which is aimed at the formation, retention and development of creative employees.

Water entrepreneurship and financialisation: Complexities for the attainment of SDG in sub-Saharan Africa

This study explores the potential of water financialisation and entrepreneurship in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) to supplant the traditional responsibility of national, state, and local governments in providing public water supply, aligning with SDG Goals. Despite its typical association with the global north, a shifting landscape reveals emerging financial actors and multinational companies playing a more prominent role, prompting governance and accountability inquiries. Given the dearth of investment and persisting challenges in SSA's water infrastructure, the burgeoning involvement of financial actors and capital management entities in the water cycle seems inevitable. However, this trend raises concerns about exacerbating global water stress. Through qualitative methods, the study engaged 50 SSA participants via open-ended questionnaires, analysed using thematic analysis. The findings underscore a nuanced perspective. While acknowledging the potential of water financialisation and entrepreneurship to drive essential investment in SSA's water sector, the research emphasizes the irreplaceable role of government in policy execution and safeguarding citizens' well-being. Government intervention remains crucial to ensuring equitable water access and sustainability. Additionally, the analysis suggests that overemphasizing water financialisation could divert attention from critical infrastructural and technological advancements needed in SSA's water sector. This underscores the necessity of a balanced and comprehensive approach to address the multifaceted challenges surrounding water availability, governance, and sustainability in the region.

Decision Making with the Use of Digital Inclusive Financial Systems by New Agricultural Management Entities in Guangdong Province, China: A Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology-Based Structural Equation Modeling Analysis

In the context of China’s rural revitalization and expanding digital economy, this study aims to elucidate how digital financial inclusion technologies can better allocate financial resources across newly evolved agricultural entities—such as family farms, farmers’ cooperatives, and agricultural enterprises. By employing structural equation modeling (SEM) based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), we identify key determinants affecting farmers’ credit availability. Our results emphasize the overwhelming role of Digital Financial Inclusion Technology Applications (DAs) in a wide range of financial variables, particularly credit availability (CA). Notably, performance expectation did not exert a significant impact on credit availability, while variables like effort expectation, facilitating conditions, and especially social influence were significant contributors. As for social impacts, social influence emerged as a multifaceted enabler, encouraging collective support within farmer communities and thereby facilitating credit accessibility. In conclusion, our study reinforces the critical influence of DAs in molding the financial landscape and recommends targeted interventions that leverage these technologies and social dynamics to boost financial inclusion and drive rural prosperity.

Evaluating uncertainty to improve a common monitoring method and guide management decisions for diamond‐backed terrapins

AbstractDesigning monitoring with adequate certainty to evaluate management actions can be challenging, especially for elusive species in relatively inaccessible habitats. The diamond‐backed terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin) is considered a high priority species for management in all states within its range. Among key threats to terrapin populations is bycatch mortality in crab pots, prompting states throughout the species' range to consider crabbing regulations and creating a need for a monitoring approach able to evaluate the success of any new crabbing regulations to benefit terrapins. Because terrapins occupy extensive and often difficult to access estuarine habitat, it is hard to collect sufficient data to estimate population responses accurately and precisely for management. To assist state managers with decisions regarding monitoring bycatch reduction regulations, we modeled 12 years of terrapin capture‐recapture data. We used estimates from those models to simulate capture‐recapture data pre‐ and post‐implementation of bycatch reduction that resulted in a 0.20 absolute increase in mean apparent survival probability. Results indicated weak reliability of a monitoring approach using only manual seining of tidal creeks to detect a real management effect, with a positive management effect detected at the 95% certainty level only 34% of the time. When we considered 85% and 75% certainty thresholds, we detected a positive effect on survival among 61% and 75% of simulations, respectively. Low within‐year recapture probability and the effect of tide amplitude on terrapin availability indicate there is low feasibility of improving monitoring precision at a single site, requiring monitoring of more sites to improve confidence in the detection of the management effect. The number of sites monitored depends on the acceptable level of certainty. We recommend that researchers and management entities that use seining assess the level of certainty they require to evaluate management actions and increase the number of sites sampled to meet that level of certainty. Additionally, the use of multiple monitoring methods and integrated models should be explored to reduce uncertainty and to allow for easier monitoring of more populations over broader spatial scales.

공동주택 경비와 경비업법 적용에 관한 재검토

Although Multi-family Housing 'security guards' perform a variety of tasks such as cleaning and disinfection, garbage collection, and parking management as management tasks, they are limited to narrow security rooms, pre-modern working every other day, excessive break time allocation to avoid wage increases, and routine short-term contracts. They face a variety of problems, including employment instability and labor disadvantages due to the application of intermittent monitoring.
 In order to solve this problem, the competent authority newly established Article 15-2 of the 「Security Services Industry Act」 for the purpose of improving the working environment of these security guards and stipulated that they cannot be allowed to engage in activities beyond the scope of security work. However, conflicts between security guards, residents, and management entities caused.
 Accordingly, as a solution, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport established Article 65-2, Paragraph 1 of the 「Multi-family Housing Management Act」, allowing security guards to engage in tasks necessary for managing Multi-family Housing complexes within the scope prescribed by Presidential Decree.
 And article 69-2 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act includes tasks necessary for managing Multi-family Housing complexes, such as assistance with cleaning and similar beautification, monitoring and organizing the separate discharge of recyclable resources, posting notices and putting mail in mailboxes, and tasks such as theft, fire, and theft in Multi-family Housing complexes. Parking management and storage of delivery items were stipulated to the extent of preventing risks.
 However, security guards under the 「Multi-family Housing Management Act」 and security guards under the 「Security Services Industry Act」 show differences in the content of their work, and also show differences in their work performance methods in terms of employment structure, employment type, and employment conditions. Also, in relation to laws, the 「Multi-family Housing Management Act」 and the 「Security Services Industry Act」 must be interpreted as separate laws, and it is not appropriate to directly apply the 「Security Services Industry Act」 to the security work of security guards for Multi-family Housing management.
 Accordingly, through this paper, the researcher reexamined the already proposed improvement plan for the work of Multi-family Housing security guards and proposed an amendment to the 「Multi-family Housing Management Act」

ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ІНВЕСТИЦІЙНОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ УЧАСНИКІВ РИНКІВ КАПІТАЛУ

Further development and intensification of investment activity in the capital markets are among the main factors behind Ukraine's intensive economic growth. Increased volumes of transactions with financial assets and other liabilities in the capital markets in the economic cycle lead to a natural interest of different groups of investors in these markets, in particular, the money market, as well as the securities and derivatives markets. At present, the capital markets of Ukraine are underdeveloped and lag far behind other markets of leading countries, failing to fulfill their main function—investment. The purpose of this article is to substantiate the theoretical and methodological foundations of investment activity of various groups of capital market participants. It is determined that the main subjects of capital markets are investors—individuals and legal entities that manage investment resources and purchase financial instruments in the capital markets to receive income/profit from investment and/or to acquire certain rights that they grant to owners of financial instruments in accordance with the law. Investors are divided into individual, institutional, and corporate investors. An important step towards studying different investors operating in the capital markets is their classification. Based on a synthesis of the work of Ukrainian and foreign researchers, the author summarizes their classification by the most important features, which are interpreted in various ways, affecting investment activity in the capital markets. Yield/profitability is necessary for attracting financial resources in the capital markets, providing consultations, and covering investment risks in the process of placing and circulating financial instruments. This function is realized by investment financial intermediaries, such as brokers, dealers, and investment banks. The real basis of any investment process is a consistently implemented investment cycle, which consists of stages. Each asset management entity is an integral part of investment processes that have their own goals and interests, without which investors lose their motivation to participate in investment activities, and therefore investment activity decreases at the macro level. Each stage of the asset management process of institutional investors is characterized by the performance of relevant works and operations carried out by various participants in capital markets, which are necessary to meet investment demand through the formation of investment proposals in such markets.

The Estimation of the Correlation between GHG and the Technical Efficiency of Korean Short-Sea Ports

Short-sea ports in Korea are classified as national or local according to their management and operation entities. Korea has 29 ports, of which 11 are nationally managed and 18 are locally managed. Meanwhile, according to Korea’s Harbor Act, short-sea ports are designed to support the promotion of benefits such as handling cargo required for local industries, transportation of passengers, and revitalization of tourism. However, even though they are designated as short-sea ports, there are cases in which the initial designation purpose was not achieved because of the minor traffic volume and number of passengers. Consequently, this study evaluated the operational efficiency of 29 Korean short-sea ports employing the data envelopment analysis (DEA) and presented the operational efficiency of 29 short-sea ports. Moreover, the study measured the correlation between greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the port operation efficiency of 29 Korean short-sea ports. The analysis results of this study are as follows: First, the correlation between port-operation efficiency and sulfur dioxide was −0.41707. Second, the correlation between efficiency and carbon monoxide was −0.39952. Third, the correlation between efficiency and nitrogen dioxide was −0.30888. In summary, this study concludes that the higher the port-operational efficiency, the lower the GHG emissions. Improving the operational efficiency of ports can reduce GHG emissions, which can positively (+) affect port sustainability.

Improvements for Efficient Operation of the Fire Safety Experience Center

Through the systematic operation of the experience center through the safety management manual, the awareness of the need to prevent safety accidents, acquire basic knowledge about major disasters, social disasters, and various accidents, and learn how to deal with disasters and accidents has spread. Fire safety education is a device that can prevent unsafe conditions and dangerous behaviors in advance and minimize the damage caused by similar sudden accidents even if they occur, and although there are differences in the experience and need for safety education among people, most people feel the need for fire safety education. Therefore, since the 2000s, ministries such as the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, and Ministry of Employment and Labor have been expanding safety experiential education facilities in specific fields through their affiliated organizations, starting with the Seoul Civil Safety Laboratory. As such, we would like to explore ways to prevent safety accidents caused by duplication of experience contents and inability to deploy specialized personnel due to indiscriminate construction and operation of safety experience education facilities by city, province, and management entity, and to explore ways to systematically and effectively operate them.

Social support and community embeddedness protect against post-disaster depression among immigrants: a Vietnamese American case study.

Immigrants often face increased vulnerabilities to disaster-related poor health and recovery, compared to mainstream populations. Little is known about Hurricane Harvey's impacts among the storm affected area's large Vietnamese American population. Our study documented diverse psychological experiences and recovery challenges 1 year post-storm among a sample of 120 Vietnamese Americans residing in the Houston, Texas area. Using linear regression modeling, we examined the association between social support and depressive symptom development among these storm-affected Vietnamese Americans. Social support encapsulating both social embeddedness and perceived support was measured by the Louisville Social Support Scale and depressive symptom development was measured by 18 items that assessed emotional distress. These items included loss of appetite, loss of concentration, exposure to persistent pain, and the exhibition of hopelessness, tiredness, sadness, frustration, discouragement, desperation, exhaustion, disgraced, anger, and craziness. We found adverse post-disaster health outcomes, as well as potential avenues to mitigate them, that should be taken into consideration in the design and implementation of inclusive disaster programs. A high level of social support lowered depressive symptomology among Vietnamese Americans post-Hurricane Harvey, even when accounting for Hurricane Harvey-related home damages and injuries/illness. The negative association between social support and depressive symptom development remained after accounting for both post-storm self-rated mental and physical health. Our results suggested that public health practitioners and emergency management entities should prioritize social support resources to foster mental well-being after hurricanes among Vietnamese Americans as future hurricanes are expected to be stronger and more prevalent along the United States Gulf Coast.

아동학대 사례관리 강화방안에 대한 탐색적 연구

The aim of this study is to explore integrated support services for abused children and their families, emphasizing the distinctiveness of child abuse case management. It seeks to enhance practice at a time when child protection agencies are in the process of transitioning into case management entities. To achieve this objective, individual and focus group interviews were conducted, drawing on recommendations from academic and field experts, and informed by extensive reviews of domestic and international literature as well as insights from child protection agencies. The study's analysis revealed the imperative and significance of adopting a family-centered approach that prioritizes family recovery and empowerment services within the context of child abuse case management. This approach takes into consideration the safety and needs of abused children. Furthermore, to ensure effective management of child abuse cases in the future, there is a vital need to enhance teamwork among child protection teams and specialized child protection agencies. Additionally, systematic efforts should be made by child protection agencies to support the child's adaptation and potential return to the original family, even in cases of separation. Based on these findings, the study delves into practical and policy measures to strengthen child abuse case management effectively.
