Firm digital investments and capacity utilisation: A perspective of factor inputs

Data resources empower traditional inputs and promote capacity utilisation. Previous research has proven the positive role of digitisation on capacity utilisation from the perspectives of information asymmetry and technological innovation, but there is still a lack of theoretical foundation. This study proposes a model of the impact of information and communications technology capital on capacity utilisation. We empirically test the relationship between firms' digital investments and capacity utilisation using the data of Chinese manufacturing-listed companies from 2007 to 2021. First, an inverted U-shaped feature exists between firm digital investments and capacity utilisation, and the main mechanisms are the ‘cost effect’, ‘capital allocation effect’ and ‘labour input effect’. Second, firms' bargaining power, industrial technology density and regional market development influence capacity utilisation when firms engage in digital investments. Third, narrowing the digital gaps within industries and regions and increasing investments in artificial intelligence, big data and digital technology applications can enhance the non-linear impact of firm digitisation on capacity utilisation. Fourth, digital transformation can resist the negative impact of external shocks on capacity utilisation to some extent. Our research provides theoretical and practical support to facilitate the high-quality development of firms.

Construction of a Classification Model for Teacher and Student Behavior in Physical Education Classrooms –Based on Multimodal Data

Abstract The analysis of teachers' and students' behaviors in physical education classrooms is an important way to improve the quality of physical education teaching and teaching methods, which helps teachers to check the gaps and improve the teaching level. In this paper, for the problems of data differences between multiple modalities and the conflict between feature extraction modules of different modalities, we designed a dual-stream framework HRformer algorithm based on Transformer, which unifies the skeletal modalities and video modalities in the algorithm. The relationship between skeletal and video modalities is modeled using the self-attention mechanism, and the matching and fusion of skeletal features and video data is performed to construct a behavior recognition model for teachers and students in the sports classroom based on multimodal data. Then, the model is compared with mainstream networks on the dataset to verify its performance. To conduct model application and example analysis, a university collects data on physical education classroom teachers and students for a semester. It is found that the multimodal model in this paper has a classification F1 value of 95.61%, 93.19%, and 93.74% for the three types of behavior recognition, namely, skill training (ST), game activity (GA), and rest, respectively, which are higher than the two methods of single skeletal modality and video modality. The model has the highest recognition accuracy of 97.12% and 98.15% for Game Activity (GA). Based on real physical education classroom data, the practical application of the model in physical education teaching classrooms in this paper is fruitful, and the results of behavioral recognition classification are in line with the design expectation. This study develops an effective method for classifying teacher and student behaviors in a physical education classroom. It provides a useful exploration for the integration and innovation of physical education teaching and information technology.
