Transformational Changes in the Creative Sector under the Influence of Generative AI Technologies

Each time period of economic development is characterized by one or another key, central technology that links the technological structure together. In the 19th century, this technology became the use of steam engines, from the beginning of the 20th century – electricity and internal combustion engines, in the 90s – computerization and the emergence of network technologies, then – cellular communications and mobile broadband Internet, then – the emergence of social networks and social media. Now, according to the consensus opinion of industry experts, the function of such technology is performed by generative artificial intelligence, which emerged just a few years ago, but has already significantly changed many sectors of the economy. The article discusses the main aspects associated with the emergence of breakthrough technologies of generative artificial intelligence. The key factors that influenced the emergence of technological capabilities were studied, such as the growth of the computing capabilities of processors, a consistent increase in funding for innovative projects, and an increase in publication activity in this direction. Particular attention is paid to the characteristics of the value chain of generative artificial intelligence technologies. It is shown that hardware requirements are becoming higher, a previously non-existent stage of creating basic models appears, as well as a layer of companies adapting basic models to the tasks of business practice by learning from industry data. We have also shown that generative artificial intelligence technologies will have the greatest impact on the creative sector of the economy, since they allow us to significantly speed up and optimize processes at all stages of creating the value of a product, reducing the need for manual labor, but not replacing it completely.

Exploring the social diffusion effects of green consumption: Evidence from green innovative products

In the context of mobile internet, the social diffusion effect of green consumption behavior becomes increasingly pronounced. This study, originating from the perspective of green consumption and grounded in the diffusion of innovation theory, constructs a model to analyze the impact of green consumption behavior on information-sharing behavior. The experience sampling method was utilized to collect 898 valid paired data points from 169 consumers, and Multilevel Structural Equation Modeling was applied to test the proposed model. The findings indicate a positive influence of green consumption behavior on information-sharing behavior, with perceived novelty and usefulness serving as mediators in this relationship. Moreover, the construal level moderates the impact of green consumption behavior on perceived novelty and usefulness. Further, at a high construal level, green consumption behavior enhances information-sharing behavior via its effect on perceived novelty, whereas at a low construal level, it does so through its impact on perceived usefulness.

The Impact of Big Data on the Teaching Development of University Teachers in the Mobile Internet Era

With the continuous development and progress of network and information technology, Internet + has gradually penetrated into various fields. Internet + is to apply Internet technology to various traditional industries, organically combine traditional industries with information technology, and develop traditional industries. In order to objectively and accurately evaluate the teaching quality of college teachers, a teaching quality evaluation method based on sawfcm algorithm is proposed. This method takes the influencing factors related to teaching quality as samples in the feature space. Each run re classifies each state and updates the weight of each sample based on the current data, but it is highly dependent on the randomly selected initial clustering center and the randomly generated initial membership matrix. Taking our university as an example, the experimental analysis is carried out to verify the feasibility of the model.

Overall, estimates show that mobile broadband coverage had large and positive impacts on household consumption thereby reducing poverty significantly. This effect is if anything stronger among poorer households. Labor force participation explains a big part of this welfare-enhancing effect.

Types of communications technology and civil conflict

Why do different types of information and communications technologies (ICTs) differentially relate to civil conflict incidence? We distinguish one-way (radio; television) from two-way ICTs (phone; internet; social media), contrasting technologies enabling one-directional broadcasting against technologies facilitating dialogue. The former predominantly allow rulers to misinform rebels about attainable rents, which, according to our theoretical framework, consequentially reduces conflict potential. However, two-way ICTs primarily help rebels overcome communication and coordination problems, which ultimately increases conflict potential. Strong political institutions are predicted to weaken these relationships but should remain unable to overturn their signs. Empirically, we observe consistent patterns in (i) country-level panel analyses of civil conflict and (ii) individual-level survey responses eliciting anti-government attitudes. Radio and television availability and usage consistently emerge as negative predictors of conflict incidence and anti-government attitudes — but less so under strong political institutions. Opposite results materialize for mobile phone, internet, and social media availability and usage.

Against the backdrop of the increasing popularity of mobile internet and the expanding commercialization of fifth-generation mobile communications (5G), the digital economy is booming with continuous innovations and integrations of internet technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, cloud computing, and big data. As one of the special economic zones, Zhuhai has emphasized in its work report the need to "vigorously develop the digital economy." Based on panel data from Zhuhai and its surrounding cities from 2018 to 2022, this paper empirically measures the level of digital economic development in Zhuhai and conducts a deep analysis of its development from the perspective of temporal characteristics. The research results indicate that: (1) Among various evaluation indicators of the digital economy, the output value of the communication and other electronic equipment manufacturing industries (in tens of thousands of yuan) has the greatest impact on the development of the digital economy, followed by the total volume of telecommunications business (in tens of thousands of yuan). The number of internet broadband users (in tens of thousands of households) and FTTH/O fiber-optic access users (in tens of thousands of households) have relatively smaller impacts. (2) In terms of temporal characteristics, the annual growth rate of Zhuhai's digital economy exhibits a steady decline, which differs from that of surrounding cities. (3) Regarding spatial characteristics, the development of the digital economy is highly unbalanced among different cities in Guangdong, and there is still a significant gap between Zhuhai and its surrounding cities. Based on the measurement results, countermeasures and suggestions are proposed to enhance the digital economic development in Zhuhai.

Impacts of virtual amenities on residential relocation and decentralization of megacity: An empirical study in wuhan, China

Clarifying the impact of urban virtual amenities (VAs) based on online and offline services on residents and urban spaces is important in the context of mobile internet access. However, the measurement of VA usage and its association with urban space have limited its theoretical development. This study identifies relocation directions through changes in residential locations and measures the four types of VA usage via mobile app data. An ordered logistic regression model is constructed to measure the correlation between VA usage and residential locations. The results show a significant association between VA usage and residential location. Residents who use VA-shopping are inclined to live outside the central region, while the opposite is true for residents who use VA-life and VA-public service. Because the users and usage intensity of VA-shopping are greater than those of other services, we summarize the VAs that drive outward relocation and urban decentralization because virtual amenities liberate the constraints on residential mobility imposed by the proximity of functional urban amenities. The findings are informative for understanding urban spaces under mobile ICTs and conducting behavior research on virtual-real interactions.

Digital finance: a developing country perspective with special focus on gender and regional disparity

PurposeEven if digital financial services have a positive impact on financial inclusion, it creates a digital as well as gender divide within and across countries, creating regional disparity even within developing nations. Though pandemic has initiated digitalization of various services, there has been scanty research on whether digital transfer of income can improve digital financial inclusion in post-pandemic era, especially in developing countries. The purpose of the current study is to explain the regional disparity within developing countries from three regions East Asia Pacific, South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, using latest World Findex data, 2021.Design/methodology/approachThe author takes an instrumental variable approach to run bivariate probit model to find the factors that motivate the users to make digital payments.FindingsThe study observes that electronic transfer of wages, government transfers and remittances can motivate individuals to make use of digital mode of transactions and mobile. The practice of formal saving and borrowings are the prerequisites. However, this mechanism holds good for East Asia Pacific and not for South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, which are poor in information and communication technology infrastructure. Women are lagging behind men, but digital transfer of wages motivate them to make digital transaction.Practical implicationsDigitalization of all government services and provision of affordable mobile network and internet services are necessary for regions like South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. In East Asia Pacific region, data protection, data governance and better regulatory framework are required. Higher female labor force participation with digital transfer of wages and empowerment with smartphones are key to reducing the Gender gap.Originality/valueThe current study corrects for the possible endogeneity issue, which the extant literature has not paid attention to, and provides region-specific and gender-specific policy recommendations for an improved digital inclusion.

Assessing the quality of experience in wireless networks for multimedia applications: A comprehensive analysis utilizing deep learning-based techniques

In the context of the burgeoning progression of wireless network technology and the corresponding escalation in the demand for mobile Internet-based multimedia transmission services, the task of preserving and augmenting user satisfaction has emerged as an imperative concern. This necessitates a sophisticated and accurate evaluation of multimedia service quality within the sphere of wireless networks. To systematically address the nuanced issue of user experience quality, the present study introduces a novel method for evaluating multimedia Quality of Experience (QoE) in wireless networks, employing an advanced deep learning model as the underlying analytical framework. Initially, the research undertakes the task of modeling the video session process, giving due consideration to the status of each temporal interval within the session's architecture. Subsequently, the challenge of QoE prediction is dissected and investigated through the lens of recurrent neural networks (RNNs), culminating in the proposition of an all-encompassing QoE prediction model that harmoniously integrates video information, Quality of Service (QoS) data, user behavior analytics, and facial expression analysis. The empirical segment of this research serves to validate the efficacy of the suggested video QoE evaluation method, engaging both quantitative and qualitative comparison metrics with contemporaneous state-of-the-art QoE models, employing the RTVCQoE dataset as the empirical foundation. The experimental findings illuminate that the QoE model elucidated in this study transcends competing models in performance metrics such as PLCC, SRCC, and KRCC. Consequently, this investigation stands as a seminal contribution to academic literature, furnishing an exacting and dependable QoE evaluation methodology. Such a contribution augments the user experience landscape in multimedia services within wireless networks, and instigates further scholarly exploration and technological innovation in the mobile Internet domain.

Extending (UTAUT2) to examine the utilization of mobile food-sharing apps and online platforms for the reduction of household food waste

PurposeThe study aimed to investigate the relationship between the intention to avoid food waste (IAFW) and the use of food-sharing technologies, such as internet platforms and mobile applications. The study utilized a model based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) as an extension of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2).Design/methodology/approachAn online platform tool (Prolific), and online self-report questionnaires were used to gather empirical data on 309 individuals. These data were then analyzed using two-step structural equation modeling.FindingsThe model explained 76% of the variance in user adoption of food-sharing mobile applications and internet platforms, supporting seven out of the nine tested hypotheses. Effort expectancy, social influence and IAFW were found to be the significant determinants of the behavioural intention to use food-sharing mobile applications and internet platforms (BITA). IAFW partially mediated the relationship between perceived behavior control and BITA. Age played a moderator role between the adoption of food-sharing mobile applications and internet platforms. However, IAFW did not play a mediating role between environmental concerns and BITA. The facilitating condition construct had an insignificant impact on BITA.Research limitations/implicationsThe current study was affected by some limitations. First, the data may not be considered as statistically representative because they were gathered online. However, the varied sociodemographic backgrounds of the respondents would boost the reliability of the findings. However, it would be prudent to use caution when extrapolating these findings to other contexts and cultures. Second, environmental concerns and perceived behavior control related to the avoidance of food waste behavior, as well as other factors that affect technology acceptance, may alter with time. Data from cross-sections may cause difficulties in following such changes. Thus, we recommend that longitudinal research studies aimed at building on our findings should be conducted. A qualitative study may help gain deeper insights into the relationship between IAFW related behavior and the adoption of various technologies to share leftover food, thereby revealing further details regarding different perspectives held by various respondents.Practical implicationsThe positive relationship between environmental concerns and IAFW underlines the significance of investing in this area to raise social awareness and public concern for environmental safety. Additional initiatives aimed at increasing public concern regarding environmental issues may increase the overall IAFW. Instead of concentrating on a single source pertaining to the avoidance of food waste, the government and policy regulations should focus on regulating and eliminating waste from all sources that generate waste. The adoption of technology to share leftover meals may be influenced by social factors. Increased advertising for food-sharing mobile apps and online platforms may persuade more users to join. Additionally, building additional platforms and mobile apps in these fields with friendlier interactions may improve the cyber environment, making it easier for people to use them. By providing information, tools and assistance to promote the reduction of food wastage, policymakers may create interventions that enhance public perception and behavior toward the reduction of food waste. In conclusion, the findings of our study indicated that the social impact and ease of use are important factors in determining the adoption of food-sharing technology. Cooperation with social influencers, policymakers and developers may lead to the development of user-friendly technology that may improve accessibility to food-sharing technology.Social implicationsIn order to encourage the adoption of food-sharing technology among various age groups, policymakers may create initiatives that take the specific requirements and traits of each group into consideration. Policymakers and governments may also create legislation and regulations that are tailored to guarantee food safety and health security for users of food-sharing technology, such as instructions for handling and storing food as well as safeguards against food fraud and contamination.Originality/valueThis study addressed practical issues related to managing and reducing household food wastage through social sharing via mobile applications and internet platforms. The proposed model, which integrated TPB with UTAUT2 in the context of food wastage and technology acceptance, contributes to the current body of knowledge.

Financial literacy induced financial well‐being in Ghana: Does financial inclusion mediate?

AbstractWe investigated the mediating role of financial inclusion in the relationship between financial literacy and financial well‐being in Ghana. Using PLS‐SEM, we found that financial inclusion indeed mediates financial literacy and financial well‐being in Ghana. We also documented a positive and significant relationship between Ghanaians' financial literacy and financial well‐being. Again, financial literacy has a direct positive effect on financial inclusion. Hence, to enhance the impact of financial literacy on financial well‐being in Ghana, policymakers should grant financial institutions enough freedom to offer a variety of financial services; financial institutions that have lost credibility in Ghana (such as insurance companies) should be put in check to build the trust of Ghanaians in them; and the cost of using a mobile phone and internet services to access financial services in Ghana should be reduced. The management of financial institutions can utilize the freedom offered to them by policymakers to offer various financial services to the public, build trust in customers, and offer lower‐cost services to help improve the financial well‐being of Ghanaians.

Promoting Age-friendly Finance and Bridging the "Digital Divide"

With the rapid development of mobile Internet and artificial intelligence, young and middle-aged people are enjoying the convenience of online shopping, ordering food, buying groceries, transferring money and so on, while at the same time the elderly are suffering from difficulties in payment, traveling, medical care, shopping and so on, which has become a "digital divide" in front of the elderly. According to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics at the end of 2022, China's population aged 60 and above is 28,040,000, accounting for as much as 19.8% of the total population, of which 209,780,000 are aged 65 and above, accounting for nearly 15%, which means that China is facing the problem of deep aging. Therefore, how to promote the reform of aging and provide financial services suitable for the elderly has become a new opportunity for commercial banks to enhance their market competitiveness and overtake in the "silver economy".

Modern Floating Greenhouses: Planting Gray Oyster Mushrooms with Advanced Management Technology Including Mobile Phone Algorithms and Arduino Remote Control

A floating greenhouse for growing oyster mushrooms can be operated remotely via a mobile phone. This innovative system can enhance mushroom production and quality while saving time. By using the Android OS operating system on a mobile phone (Internet Mobile Device with Android OS, MGT Model: T10), users can adjust the humidity and temperature within the greenhouse. This approach is particularly beneficial for older adults. Create a smart floating greenhouse that can be controlled remotely to cultivate oyster mushrooms. It would help to enhance the quality of the mushrooms, reduce the time required for cultivation, and increase the yield per planting area. We carefully examined the specifications and proceeded to create a greenhouse that could float. In addition, we have developed a unit that could control temperature and humidity, a solar cell unit, and a rack for growing mushrooms. Our greenhouses were operated remotely. To determine the best conditions for growing plants in a floating greenhouse, we conducted a test to measure temperature and humidity. We then compared our findings to those of a traditional greenhouse test and determined the optimal parameters for floating greenhouse growth. These parameters include growth time, temperature, humidity, and weight. A mushroom nursery that can be controlled remotely and floats on water consists of four main components: a structure to regulate temperature and humidity, solar cells, and mushroom racks. Research shows that mushrooms grown under this automated control system grow better than those grown through traditional methods. The harvest period is shorter, and the yield is higher than the typical yield of 1.81–1.22. When considering the construction and use of remote-controlled floating mushroom nurseries, the daily weight of mushrooms accounted for 20.22%. The company’s investment return rates were found to be 3.47 years, or 580.21 h per year, which is higher than the yield of traditional methods. This mobile phone remote control system, created by Arduino, is tailor-made for cutting-edge floating greenhouses that grow grey oyster mushrooms. It can be operated with ease via mobile devices and is especially user-friendly for elderly individuals. This system enables farmers to produce a high volume of quality breeds. Furthermore, those with fish ponds can utilize the system to increase their profits.
