Research on strategies for improving green product consumption sentiment from the perspective of big data

Promoting green development by stimulating consumers’ green consumption sentiment is an important measure to achieve carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals in China. This article uses Python to crawl a total of 139075 consumer review data from 164 green products on the JingDong (JD.com) e-commerce platform from June 1, 2020 to May 6, 2023, identifies consumers’ key focus on green products in the four fields of clothing, food, housing, and transportation. And it explores the mechanism of joint action between each content, analyzes consumers’ green consumption sentiment and their causes, and deeply studies the dimensions of consumer demand by using TF-IDF segmentation weight analysis, word cloud mapping, network semantic analysis, sentiment analysis, and theme word mining. The research has found that: (1) The green consumption sentiment of consumers has an increasingly positive time trend. (2) Consumers prioritize appearance for clothing and home products, quality for food products, and service for travel products. And customer service attitude is an important factor that leads to the transformation of positive sentiment to negative sentiment. (3) The basic attributes that consumers pay attention to green products are mainly quality, appearance, transportation, price, service, and brand. Consumers’ attention to the green features and basic attributes of green products shows a significant growth trend. And consumers’ attention to the green features of green products can enhance their recommendation and loyalty. (4) The combined effect of consumers’ core and sub-core concerns forms consumers’ evaluation of green products. The participles in the core circle are the positive core determining factors for consumers’ green consumption sentiment, while the participles in the secondary core circle are the driving factors that make green consumption sentiment approach the maximum value. (5) Consumers’ demand for green products is mainly reflected in three dimensions: aesthetic acceptance demand, leisure and entertainment demand, and physiological and safety demand. The findings of this paper can provide a reference for the planning of green transition, upgrading of enterprises and the improvement of the production, design and sales process of green products, and provide a reference for the formulation and implementation of government policies to promote green consumption.

Characterizing pathways of seafood access in small island developing states

Ensuring healthy and sustainable food systems in increasing social, economic, and ecological change is a key global priority to protect human and environmental health. Seafood is an essential component of these food systems and a critical source of nutrients, especially in coastal communities. However, despite rapid transformations in aquatic food systems, and our urgent need to understand them, there is a dearth of data connecting harvested food production to actualized food consumption. Many analyses suggest institutional, legal, or technological innovations to improve food systems, but few have analyzed the pathways through which people already gain access to nutritious food. Here, using a random forest model and cluster analysis of a nationally representative data set from Kiribati, we operationalize access theory to trace the flows of consumptive benefit in a fisheries-based food system. We demonstrate that the market access mechanism is the key mechanism mediating seafood access in Kiribati, but importantly, the highest seafood consumption households showed lower market access, pointing to the importance of non-market acquisition (e.g., home production and gifting). We reveal six distinct household strategies that employ different sets of access mechanisms to ensure high levels of local seafood consumption in different contexts. We demonstrate the impacts of these strategies on the composition of household seafoods consumed, stressing the need to support these existing successful strategies. Finally, we point to key policy and management insights (e.g., improved infrastructure, shifts in species management) that may be more effective in reinforcing these existing pathways than commonly proposed food system interventions.

A framework for transportation and land use integration as a parallel constrained multiple discrete-continuous extreme value (PC-MDCEV) home production model

We propose a microeconomic foundation for transportation and land use choice model integration based on the theory of home production. A utility function is developed that considers both household monetary expenditure and individual time use. We introduce a parallel constrained multiple discrete-continuous extreme value (MDCEV) structure that allows for the inclusion of multi-person households in the model. An empirical application is provided for the Greater Toronto Area using a validated synthetic dataset. Empirical results demonstrate an economy of scale in time devoted to home production, analogous to scaling exhibit in market production. It was found that the mix of dwelling types (detached, apartment, etc.) has a significant influence on both time use and consumption. Finally, we provide several directions for future research to advance the practice of urban modelling and better capture the complex dynamics of household decision-making.

Enhanced thermal study in hybrid nanofluid flow in a channel motivated by graphene/Fe3O4 and Newtonian heating

The significance of advanced hybrid type nanofluids cannot be avoided because of their multiple heat transport applications. These are not only in applied thermal, mechanical, chemical engineering but also use as coolant for nuclear reactors, paint, medical sciences and manufacturing of various home products. The dynamical study of fluid characteristics inside a channel with slowly expanding/contracting walls is a fascinating research topic. Therefore, the key aims of this research are to formulate a hybrid nanoliquid model using graphene and Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Further, physical effects of practical interest like Joule heating, magnetic field are merged in the model. After that, numerical tool used to solve it and then demonstrated the results via graphical aid. The results shown that the when the nanoparticles amount taken from 0.01 % to 0.06 % then the density changes from 1.00042 to 1.00252 (nanofluid), 1.00067 to 1.00277 (hybrid) and 1.00025 to 1.0015 (nano), 1.00125 to 1.0025 (hybrid). In similar way, thermal conductance boosted from 1.00025 to 1.0015 (nano) and 1.00085 to 1.0021 (hybrid). For elongating walls (α=2.0,4.0,6.0,8.0), the velocity increased and examined maximum at the center. The absorber walls (S=0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4) highly controlled the fluid motion and the particles at η=−1.0 and η=1.0 accelerates inconsequentially. The high energy dissipation, thermal radiations (Rd=0.1,0.3,0.5,0.7) and Re1=0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4 augmented the temperature mechanism in nano, hybrid and simple fluids.

A comprehensive review on the documented characteristics of four Reticulitermes termites (Rhinotermitidae, Blattodea) of China.

Termites are known as social insects worldwide. Presently in China 473 species, 44 genera and 4 families of termites have been reported. Of them, 111 Reticulitermes species are widely spread in different zones of China. The dispersion flight season of these Chinese Reticulitermes species are usually started from February to June, but in some regions different species are distributed, sharing their boundaries and having overlapping flight seasons. These reasons become important sources of hybridization between two different heterospecific populations of termites. It was confirmed that the fertilized eggs and unfertilized eggs of some Reticulitermes termites have the capacity of cleavage. While the unfertilized eggs of R. aculabialis, R. chinensis and R. labralis cleaved normally and the only R. aculabialis unfertilized eggs develop in embryos. While, the R. flaviceps and R. chinensis were observed with their abnormal embryonic development, and not hatching of eggs parthenogenetically. They were reported more threatening to Chinese resources as they propagate with parthenogenesis, hybridization and sexual reproduction. Eggshell and macrophiles of eggs play important roles in species identification and control. Although, they are severe pests and cause a wide range of damages to wooden structures and products in homes, buildings, building materials, trees, crops, and forests in China's Mainland.

Places to purchase food in urban and rural areas of Brazil.

To describe the locations of food and beverage acquisition in Brazil, according to the level of food processing and household location (urban/rural). Data from 49,489 households from the Household Budget Survey 2017-2018 were used. Information regarding food and beverages was collected through a collective acquisition booklet over 7 consecutive days. Locations were classified into 10 groups on the basis of similarities in sales structure and mode of food offering, and food and beverages were categorized according to the NOVA classification. The frequency of households acquiring food in each location was estimated, as well as the acquisition frequency according to processing level, considering significance through non-overlapping 95% confidence intervals. Half of the households (51.9%) acquired food in supermarkets, contributing to both the acquisition of fresh and minimally processed foods (92.2% in urban; 90.2% in rural) and ultra-processed foods (78.6% in urban; 74.1% in rural). For the urban area, the Supermarket (55.0%), Bakery (46.5%) and Small markets (43.1%) are among the places with the highest frequency of food acquisition, while for rural areas, it is found that Small Markets (53%), Supermarkets (32.3%) and Home production (31.0%) presented the highest frequencies. The acquisition of food and beverages for household consumption in Brazil differs according to household location (urban/rural), indicating the importance of the community food environment in the consumption patterns of ultra-processed foods.

Association between work from home and health-related productivity loss among Korean employees.

After the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, the widespread adoption of working from home, or teleworking, has prompted extensive research regarding its effects on work productivity and the physical and mental health of employees. In this context, our study aimed to investigate the association between working from home and health-related productivity loss (HRPL). An online survey was conducted with a sample of 1,078 workers. HRPL was estimated by the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire: General Health version. Workers that have been working from home in the last 6 months were categorized into the "work from home" group. Generalized linear models were used to compare the mean difference of HRPL between "work from home" and "commuters" group. Stratified analyses were conducted based on various factors including gender, age, income level, occupation, education level, previous diagnosis of chronic disease, presence of preschool children, living in studio apartment, living alone, commuting time, working hours and regular exercise. The overall HRPL was higher in the "work from home" group than in the "commuters" group with a mean difference of 4.05 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.09-8.01). In the stratified analyses, significant differences were observed in workers with chronic diseases (mean difference: 8.23, 95% CI: 0.38-16.09), who do not live alone (mean difference: 4.84, 95% CI: 0.35-9.33), and workers that do not exercise regularly (mean difference: 4.96, 95% CI: 0.12-9.80). Working from home is associated with an increased HRPL in the Korean working population, especially among those with chronic diseases, those who do not live alone, and those who do not exercise regularly.
