Research on the Innovative Path of Brand Development of Graduation Fashion Shows based on the Perspective of New Institutionalism

The 14th Five-Year Plan period is a period for my country to further promote the high-quality and high-efficiency development of "technology, fashion, and green". The training direction of college graduates is constantly changing, and school-enterprise cooperation is constantly subdivided and deepened. As a result, college evaluation is also linked to the employment rate of graduates. It is more required that the graduates trained by the school transform into market-oriented application talents. Therefore, following the three basic principles of highlighting student-centeredness, output orientation, and continuous improvement, introducing the concept of corporate brand show in graduation design to carry out school-enterprise linkage and integrated teaching has become an important task that the fashion design major must face, innovate and explore.

Spatial-temporal variations and Attribution analysis of SO2 concentration in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei regions from 2013 to 2022

Based on the monitoring data of air pollutants in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei regions from 2012 to 2022, the spatial-temporal distribution of SO2 concentration and main influencing factors were analyzed through multi-methods of Daniel trend test, KZ filtering and WRF/CMAQ model simulations. From 2013 to 2022, the annual averaged concentrations of SO2 in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei regions were all in obvious downward trends, and all passed the Daniel trend test (α=0.01). The annual averaged concentration of SO2 in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei regions decreased from 26.6~114.3μg·m-3 in 2013 to 3.0~11.0μg·m-3, with the decline rates fluctuating from 2.62~11.81μg/(m3·yr) while the decrease rate of SO2 in Beijing was the lowest. The average annual concentration of SO2 in Tangshan city decreased the most, reaching 92.3% and it changed to be the smallest, about 78.2% in Chengde City. The reduction of coal consumption in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei regions significantly reduced atmospheric SO2 emissions and directly reduced the regional average concentration of SO2. Meteorological factors were generally conducive to the diffusion of SO2 concentration during 2013~2022, and the meteorological factors contributed about 0.4~5.5% in 13 cities in Jingjinji area while the contribution of anthropogenic emission reduction was 94.5~99.6%. The inter-annual variation of meteorological factors in summer from 2013 to 2022 was not conducive to the diffusion of SO2 concentration on the whole, and the contribution changed to -52.6 ~ -1.0% in 13 cities. From June to August in summer under the easterly and southerly winds, the SO2 concentration in Beijing was basically twice that of the northerly and westerly winds. The contribution of southwest transport channel to SO2 concentration in Beijing was 33.5%, while it changed to 38.9% in the southeast transport channel. Therefore, strengthening the management and control of air pollutants in surrounding area of Beijing is helpful for Beijing to further reduce the levels of air pollutants and achieve targets of air quality improvement in the 14th Five-Year Plan period.

Regional electricity cooperation model for cost-effective electricity management with an emphasis on economic efficiency

Effectively reducing the total electricity cost while ensuring its overall efficiency is vital for the sustainable development of power systems. Herein, we develop a regional cooperation optimization model to enhance the existing power cost model. This is achieved by incorporating power trading scenarios and pollution considerations, leveraging the distinct characteristics of power generation costs from various sources. The developed regional cooperation optimization model simultaneously accounts for production efficiency and overall power costs, ensuring equitable distribution and compensation of benefits among cooperating entities. In addition, the key findings indicate that the interregional cooperation optimization model significantly reduces the total cost of electricity operations in China. Specifically, during the 11th five-year plan period, the total electricity cost in China exhibited a noteworthy decline of USD 50,876 million owing to multi-objective cooperative optimization, constituting 25.99% of the total electricity cost compared with the preoptimization period. This study identifies the eastern and western regions as principal contributors to the cost savings achieved by the interregional cooperative optimization model. Simultaneously, recognizing their significant contributions, it is recommended that the eastern and western regions provide additional cost compensation to other regions to ensure the long-term viability of the cooperative alliance.

"Curriculum-project-supervisor" interactively enhance the innovation capability of postgraduates majoring in bioengineering

According to the Bio-economy Development Plan during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, biotechnology has become an effective force to promote future development. More than 220 universities and research institutes in China have got the right to confer master's degrees in bioengineering. Great attention has been paid to the cultivation of top innovative talents that can serve the innovation-driven development of the national bio-economy. In the last 15 years, the Research Center of Microbial-Manufacturing Engineering in Jiangnan University has built a diversified education platform, recruited high-level faculty members, and innovated the scientific research management. The new concept and method for cultivating the innovation capabilities of postgraduates in a multi-dimension and whole-process manner have been formed, which involved building a curriculum, focusing on major projects, and establishing a supervisor team. This cultivation mode has comprehensively improved the engineering and academic innovation capabilities of postgraduates majoring in bioengineering.

Artificial intelligence empowerment in China’s energy landscape: enhancing power grid investment efficiency

Against the backdrop of China’s initiative to construct a new power system focusing on new energy, optimizing power grid investment holds significant importance. This study aims to investigate whether the application of artificial intelligence (AI) contributes to power grid investment efficiency. By considering diverse factors, power grid investment efficiency in China is assessed by using a Slack-based measure model. Then we analyze the relationship between AI and power grid investment efficiency, as well as their nonlinear threshold effect. We find a notable increase in China’s power grid investment efficiency, accompanied by evident regional differences. In addition, the utilization of AI exerts a significantly positive effect on power grid investment efficiency. Particularly, such a promoting effect is more pronounced in the China Southern Power Grid cohort and remains significant during the 12th Five-Year Plan period. Moreover, grid investment exhibits a double-threshold effect, and it diminishes the contributing effect of AI on power grid investment efficiency. AI shows a single threshold effect on power grid investment efficiency as electricity sales increase, and the positive impact manifests only when electricity sales surpass a specific threshold. These insights are important for the strategic deployment of power grid projects through using AI.

Regional coordinated development of low-carbon sports industry in China

This study develops a systematic modeling framework, comprising a prediction model, a super-SBM model, and a spatial autocorrelation analysis model, to explore the spatial–temporal evolution tendencies of development efficiency within China's 30 regions in the low-carbon sports industry from 2006 to 2025. This framework aims to provide theoretical insights for the formulation of more targeted policies. Based on the empirical findings, the main conclusions of this study are as follows: (1) The optimal buffer operator grey prediction model demonstrates the highest accuracy among the prediction models examined. (2) The development efficiency curves of the 30 regions exhibit a significant increasing trend from 2006 to 2021, with values generally peaking between 0.4 and 0.6. (3) Notably, the disparity in development efficiency between developed and less developed regions is expected to progressively widen. (4) The development efficiency of the low-carbon sports industry across the 30 regions typically displays high-high clustering and low-low clustering during China's four five-year plan periods. This underscores the importance and urgency of promoting regional coordinated development within the low-carbon sports industry.

Marginal effects of economical development and university education on China's regular exercise population.

Although the regular exercise population is a key metric for gaging the success of China's fitness-for-all activities, effective policy approaches to increase mass sports participation remain unclear. Previous research suggests that GDP, educational attainment, sports resources, and meteorological conditions could influence regular exercise participation. Therefore, this study first analyzed the macro-level correlates influencing China's regular exercise population. We utilize ordinary least squares (OLS) regression and geographical weighted regression (GWR) to theorize the relationship. The analysis encompasses data from the 31 administrative regions of Mainland China, as reported at the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan period. The log-log model enables us to quantify the marginal effect (elasticity) of the explanatory variables. The OLS regression showed that regional GDP and the proportion of the population with a university education were significant predictors. In the global model, the marginal effects of regional GDP and university education were 0.048 and 0.173, respectively. Furthermore, the GWR revealed a distinct geographic pattern that corresponds to the classic Hu Line. While regional GDP was also a significant correlate in our model, the elasticity demonstrates that university education had an asymmetric effect on China's regular exercise population. Therefore, this paper sheds light on a policy priority for the upcoming 15th Five-Year Plan, emphasizing the strategic importance of expanding university education to enhance mass sports participation. In turn, a better-educated populace may yield significant secondary effects on public health and contribute to the high-quality development of the Chinese path to modernization.

Key Points and Difficulties in the Management of a New Guangzhou 12th People’s Hospital Branch

During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, to improve medical and health services, the Guangzhou Municipal government invested billions in medical construction. During that time, Guangzhou was renewing its approval procedures for construction projects, and the COVID-19 outbreak changed the requirements of hospital construction. In addition to focusing more on spatial planning and layout, the integration of specialized departments, large-scale medical equipment, and numerous intelligent systems increased the complexity of hospital construction projects. The success of these projects often hinges on the quality of the management team. If a hospital construction project manager lacks experience and an understanding of the project’s key aspects, they may struggle with organization, management, and problem-solving, leading to rework, resource waste, and delays. This paper uses the construction of a new Guangzhou 12th People’s Hospital branch as an example to describe the key points and difficulties in each stage of project construction and proposes solutions for the management of similar projects in the future.

A Preliminary Study on the Planning and Construction Path of Zero-carbon Airport:A Case Study of Xiamen Xiang'an Airport

Abstract: As a large-scale airport construction during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, Xiamen Xiang'an Airport aims to become a benchmark of “green airport” and a “zero-carbon airport”. This paper describes the research of Xiamen Xiang'an Airport on the excellent cases of low-carbon airport construction at home and abroad, and clarifies that Xiamen Xiang'an Airport needs to increase the proportion of renewable energy utilization, promote the reform. of airport electrification and strengthen intelligent management in order to achieve a zero-carbon airport. In the planning stage, Xiamen Xiang'an Airport should make a zero-carbon airport planning, improve the low-carbon construction index system, and formulate a carbon neutral path planning. In the design stage, Xiamen Xiang'an Airport promotes the planning and construction of zero-carbon airport: Optimize the airside and landside operation efficiency of the airport, apply the terminal photovoltaic system, water storage system and APU replacement system to achieve low carbon emission reduction, recycle water resource, and minimize the impact on the ecological environment. Finally, through the high-performance maintenance structure, natural lighting and natural ventilation and other passive technologies combined with efficient energy equipment and systems, the goal to build a Three Stars Green Building terminal is achieved. Although there is still a certain distance for Xiamen Xiang'an Airport to become a zero- carbon airport, it is worthwhile to learn from the path of Xiamen Xiang'an Airport of exploring a zerocarbon airport: The construction of zero-carbon airport should be planned and formulate a carbon-neutral path, pay attention to the two aspects of “Renewable energy” and “energy saving”, make greater use of new energy and better use of energy-saving measures, so as to enhance the effect of carbon reduction and enhance the carbon sink capacity of airports to create favorable conditions for the realization of “zero carbon airport”.

The Re-socialization Path of the Community Elderly from the Perspective of Active Aging: Take Community B as an Example

The 20th report pointed out that “implement the national strategy of actively responding to the aging of the population, develop the pension cause and industry, optimize the services for the elderly, and promote the realization of all the elderly enjoy the basic pension services”. It is estimated that during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, China’s population will enter a moderate stage of aging. In the current situation of the population aging trend, in addition to the establishment of relevant institutional guarantees for the elderly, we should also promote the social participation of the elderly and promote the re-socialization of the elderly. Community is the basic unit of social organizations and social population gathering. With the functions of socialization, psychological support, social participation and mutual assistance, it is an important field for the re-socialization of the elderly. Community social work is based on the community, through the use of relevant resources, mobilize the community strength, promote the social participation of the elderly in the form of community activities and volunteer services of the elderly. Based on the theory of active aging and re-socialization, this study conducted a questionnaire survey and in-depth interview on the B community in Lanzhou to understand the re-socialization level and re-socialization dilemma of the elderly in community B. On the basis of the analysis of relevant data, from the three dimensions of “participation”, “health” and “guarantee”, the beneficial measures of the community in promoting the re-socialization of the elderly are summarized, and targeted suggestions are put forward.

What combinations drive the urban green infrastructure development in China’s Yangtze River Economic Belt? − An empirical study based on fs/QCA methodology

In cities, green infrastructure (GI) is a vital natural life support system that is intimately linked to the daily lives of citizens. High levels of Urban Green Infrastructure (UGI) can help mitigate a series of ecological problems faced by cities, which is extremely important for preserving the stability of urban ecosystems and promoting sustainable urban development. However, current research has not fully explored the influencing factors of UGI and the interaction effect between them. Therefore, in order to better explore the results of China’s proposed policy to promote GI development, data from 110 cities in China’s Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) region during the 12th Five-Year Plan and 13th Five-Year Plan periods were measured separately, and natural and geographic environmental conditions, quality of urban construction, level of economic development, socio-cultural development, and eco-environmental quality were selected as the influencing factors. The entropy TOPSIS was used to evaluate the development trend of UGI in the two periods of the region, and the relationship between influencing factors and UGI development was investigated through the use of fs/QCA, and the high-level development path of each city to achieve GI was explained. The results show that (1) Cities with high UGI development are mostly concentrated in economically developed areas, while cities in the YREB’s central and western regions have relatively low levels of UGI development. (2) According to the spatial and temporal differences, the factors driving the high level and non-high level of UGI development in prefecture-level cities in the YREB showed several different configurations, confirming that the development level of UGI was affected by a variety of conditions. (3) During the 12th Five-Year Plan to 13th Five-Year Plan periods, the configuration of urban high-level UGI was found to be more consistent, while the development path of non-high-level UGI is more diversified. The study explores the overall development level and trend of green infrastructure in different cities, and the citation of fs/QCA provides a better understanding of the complex mechanisms of the interactions between these variables, with a view to providing some guidance and enlightenment for enhancing the future urban UGI development and urban high-quality development in the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

Intelligent Energy System and Power Metering Optimization Based on the Energy Plan Model

With the national carbon neutrality and carbon peaking policies proposed one after another, this paper proposes intelligent Energy system design and power metering based on the Energy Plan model. In this paper, the Energy PLAN model is proposed as the basic model for energy development planning during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, and the simulation calculation is carried out for the energy system in 2020. The research shows that there is a large gap between the peak and valley of power load, the peak time of power supply and demand does not match, and the response-ability of the energy supply department is poor. Thus, the problems to be solved in the development of energy are determined. In addition, the accuracy of the model is further verified by comparing the actual data with the simulation results of Energy PLAN, and the direction of energy structure reform is determined. By coupling the NSGA-II (Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithms-II) algorithm with the development model, a dual-objective multi-time scale scheduling model is established, which aims at the minimum operating cost and the best energy and environmental benefit coefficient. Secondly, the proposed model is solved using the NSGA-II algorithm. In order to ensure the diversity of solutions and promote the Pareto front approach to the ideal Pareto front, the fuzzy dominance method is used to perform a fast non-dominated sorting of the population, and the maximum satisfaction method is used to select the Pareto optimal compromise solution. Example analysis shows that when the power demand level is L*-L*-L*, the power input under “H-M”, “M-L” and “H-L” scenarios is 106.02 × 103, 102.73 × 103 and 94.2 × 103 GWh, respectively. However, when the power demand level is H*-L*-L*, the power input is always 142.64 × 103 GWh. With the decrease in the transmission rate, the measurement data obtained by the user’s electric acquisition platform becomes less and less, and the performance of state estimation becomes worse. When λ=50%, the proposed model still maintains a high estimation accuracy.

From poverty to prosperity: assessing of sustainable poverty reduction effect of “welfare-to-work” in Chinese counties

The “welfare-to-work” program is a comprehensive supportive policy in the 14th five-year plan period in China. In this paper, a systematical assessment of the long-run effectiveness of the welfare-to-work policy on poverty reduction is of great significance to stimulate the internal impetus of people who are lifted out of poverty to achieve income growth and prosperity and promote regional economic development. Based on the data at the county (city) level in China from 2000 to 2019 and the sustainable development theory, in this paper, a county-relative poverty evaluation system was constructed. Besides, the double difference method was employed to evaluate the effect of the welfare-to-work policy on poverty reduction and test its action mechanism. The findings are as follows: (1) the welfare-to-work policy has a significant poverty reduction effect and presents an inverted “U” shape. In addition, significant achievements have been made in “maintaining employment stability, ensuring income, strengthening skills, and supporting the economy” ; (2) the welfare-to-work policy boosts poverty reduction in counties through infrastructure construction, fiscal intervention, and financial tools; however, the financial tools play a positive role in poverty reduction in the northwest region and suppressed role in the southwest region, and has an insignificant effect in the central region; and (3) there are differences in the effect of poverty alleviation policies of the counties with different sustainable development levels, and the regions with higher development level have a stronger driving effect.

Policy Instrument Preferences and Optimization Strategies: Based Text Analysis of Provincial-Level Education Digitalization Policy from China

In the context of world education digitalization, the Chinese government has formulated China’s education digitalization strategy. The education digitalization policy tools of provincial governments are an important factor affecting the effectiveness of education digitalization policies. In this study, a text quantification and content analysis is conducted on educational digital policy documents released by eight provinces of China during the 14th Five-Year Plan period in China. This is based on a two-dimensional analysis framework of “instruments-value” using instrument types and policy principles, and NVivo software. The research outcomes reveal the following: (1) The distribution of educational digital policy instrument types is uneven, with an excess of supply-side instruments and a noticeable shortage of demand-side instruments. (2) Different policy instruments exhibit varying degrees of preference in implementing policy principles. There is a stronger emphasis on technology application and balanced development, while the emphasis on service principles promoting diverse participation is relatively weaker. (3) The policy instruments that facilitate interaction between policymakers and educational entities require further strengthening. In light of these findings, local governments in China should strengthen the use of demand-side policy instruments to achieve comprehensiveness and sustainability in educational digitalization. Policymakers should pay more attention to the demands of educational entities to shift educational digitalization from being technology driven to being demand driven. Furthermore, policy instrument selection should adhere to the value of serving and supporting individuals and reinforce the concept of multi-participation in their development, ultimately improving the precision and coordination of policies, and achieving a harmonious integration of technological and value aspects of policy instruments.

An Overview of Public Expenditure on Health Sector in Tamil Nadu

The state governments spend money on both economic and social services for the community. Education, public health, worker welfare programs, aid and rehabilitation for displaced people, and similar services are examples of social services. The community benefits from these services, and the better and happier the people are, the more advanced these services are. Tamil Nadu is welfare state which understands its responsibility to provide a minimum standard of living to all the citizens. Tamil Nadu is socially and economically a well performing state in the country. From the time of independence, the state has been dedicated in the provision of quality in the health sector. Almost all the political parties who ruled the state known for their rationality. The study period includes six five-year plans from 1991-2017. The health sector expenditure has been on increasing trend during the study period. It shows how far the government was interested towards providing health benefits to its masses. During every five-year plan period Tamil Nadu Government has introduced number of schemes and policy measures towards the health sector. The main focus of the study is an overview about the public expenditure on health from different five-year plan period from 8th five-year to 12th five-year plan. In Tamil Nadu, approved spending was almost always less than actual spending incurred during all plan periods. It concludes that over the period of the plan periods, the total amount spent by the federal and state governments on the health sector has increased steadily.

Prognostic implications of heart failure stages among Chinese community populations: insight from a nationwide population-based study

In light of high burden of heart failure (HF) in China, studies of prognostic implication of HF stages are important. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between HF stages and mortality risk in Chinese community populations. Nationwide representative populations aged ≥35 years (n=23,284, mean age 56.9 years, women 53.2%) were enrolled from 2012 to 2016. According to the international HF guidelines, participants were divided into stage A, B and C, and those who did not qualify these stages were categorized as apparently-healthy group. Association between HF stages and all-cause, cardiovascular [CV] and non-CV death was evaluated using multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional regression analysis. During a median follow-up of 4.7 years (109,902.8 person-years), 1314 deaths occurred. Age-adjusted incidence rate of all-cause death was 5.3 in apparently-healthy, 7.8 in stage A, 8.6 in stage B and 24.6 in stage C groups per 1000 person-years. In reference to apparently-healthy group, adjusted hazard ratio for all-cause death was 1.90 (95% CI: 1.47-2.45), 2.43 (95% CI: 1.89-3.13) and 6.40 (95% CI: 4.56-8.99) for stage A, B and C. Advancing HF stages were associated with increasing risks for all-cause, CV and non-CV death (P-trend <0.05). For all-cause death, population attributable fraction due to stage A, B and C were 21.2%, 33.4% and 4.9%, accounting for 1,933,385, 3,045,993 and 446,867 deaths in China in2018. Advancing HF stages were associated with increasing risk mortality. Development and implementation of early screening and targeted interventions are urgently needed to reduce HF burdens in China. This work was supported by the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Innovation Fund for Medical Sciences (grant 2017-I2M-1-004), the Projects in the Chinese National Science & Technology Pillar Program during the Twelfth Five-year Plan Period (No.: 2011BAI11B01), and the Project Entrusted by the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China (NHC2020-609).

Environmental Policy Overlays and Urban Pollution and Carbon Reduction—Evidence from China

The in-depth promotion of environmental pollution prevention and control is a must for China to move towards green development, and the effectiveness of urban environmental pollution control largely depends on the selection of these environmental policies and the synergistic application of these policies. This paper empirically tests three environmental policies’ mixed and synergistic effects using Chinese urban data from 2000 to 2017. This study found that (1) the three environmental policies significantly curb urban environmental pollution and show synergistic effects. (2) The three types of environmental policies can have a superimposing effect by strengthening financial inputs and increasing environmental concern, as well as a complementary effect by improving the efficiency of environmental protection enforcement and the institutional environment. The synergy between the central environmental protection inspection policy and the environmental information disclosure policy is more of a superposition effect than a complementary effect due to the similarity of the policy objectives. (3) The synergistic effect of environmental policies is affected by factors such as the age of the principal officials and financial pressure. The younger the age of the principal officials and the cities with less financial pressure are more capable of utilizing the synergistic effect of environmental policies to form a situation where the market, the government, the public, and the enterprises work together to govern the city. This paper provides new ideas for exploring the synergies and mechanisms of environmental policies and theoretical references for the design, implementation, and effects of environmental policy portfolios in the 14th Five-Year Plan period.

High-quality Development of the County-level Economy in Xianning City, Hubei Province from the Perspective of Chinese-style Modernization

The county-level economy serves as the fundamental unit of China's national economy and holds significant importance in the development of the New Rural Construction and socialist modernization. High-quality development has become the theme of China's economic and social development in the 14th Five-Year Plan period and beyond, as it relates to the overall goal of constructing a socialist modernized country. Therefore, adhering to high-quality development of the county-level economy is of practical significance in promoting rural revitalization and building a comprehensive socialist modernized country. This study combines the five development concepts and focuses on the specific reality of Xianning City to establish indicators for high-quality development. By exploring the path and strategies of high-quality development of the county-level economy through innovative development, coordinated development, green development, open development, and shared development, this study aims to provide decision support and practical guidance for local governments.

Emissions cap and structural adjustment

We use the strengthening of China's emission target control regime during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period as a quasi-natural experiment to study the impact of strengthened environmental regulation on firm's emissions and other economic performances, and find that more rigorous environmental regulations induce firms to cut down their emissions, mainly through the “technology effect.” The structural decomposition shows that this emission reduction effect varies across industries with different levels of pollution intensity, and the power sector plays an important role in the “structural adjustment effect” among industries.
