The emerging driving force of energy consumption in China: Does digital economy development matter?

Due to the benefits brought by progress in digital technology, the digital economy is profoundly changing the production and lifestyles of human beings, thus promoting the dual digital transformation of the energy supply side and demand side and having a profound impact on energy consumption. Based on 2011–2018 panel data on 30 provinces and 205 cities in China, this study empirically investigates the direct and indirect impacts of digital economy development on the scale and structure of energy consumption. The empirical results indicate that digital economy development promotes an increase in the scale of energy consumption and optimizes the structure of energy consumption. This result is still valid after robustness tests involving the selection of historical data as an instrumental variable (IV) and the “Broadband China” policy as a quasi-natural experiment. Mechanism analysis shows that digital economy development mainly impacts energy consumption by affecting economic growth, energy efficiency and the industrial structure. Moreover, the results of heterogeneity analysis and spatial model estimation indicate that the effects of digital economy development on energy consumption have obvious regional heterogeneity and spatial spillovers.

Facilitating Sustainable Self-Directed Learning Experience with the Use of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning

This study explored the impact of utilizing mobile-assisted language learning to help EFL university students promote their learning performance and support a sustainable self-directed learning experience while developing digital literacy and technology competence. The global pandemic and spread of COVID-19 have accelerated the convergence of technology in the classroom in response to an emergency where the sustainability of education is at stake. With the progress of digital technology, a variety of smart mobile applications have been applied in English language learning and teaching. The use of those technologies can encourage language learners to practice self-directed learning beyond the classroom settings, which is essential for motivated and autonomous learning. Mobile phone applications have great potential as effective pedagogical tools with features such as accessibility, manageable interface, and multifunctional components. However, the use of mobile-assisted language learning for sustainable, self-directed learning outside the classroom has been relatively under-researched. In this study, EFL university students engaged in mobile-assisted language learning that could make their learning more sustainable and independent outside of the classroom. The data of this study show that students’ attitudes toward participating in mobile-assisted English language learning were affirmative. The results show that incorporation of mobile applications into language learning could foster learner motivation and make their learning more sustainable and entertaining than simply using the conventional instructional methods. Participants of this study stated that major benefits of experiencing mobile-assisted learning for their English study were ease of access to learning contents, portability of the learning tools, flexible and self-directed learning environment, better interaction, and improved self-efficacy in English learning performance. The pedagogical implications of the study are discussed, and instructional strategies are suggested to share ideas about a more pertinent learning environment in the era of digital transformation.

Recent Challenges and Opportunities in Video Summarization With Machine Learning Algorithms

The fast progress in digital technology has sparked generation of large number of voluminous data from different social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, etc. There are other platforms as well which generate large data like News, CCTV videos, Sports, Entertainment, etc. Lengthy Videos typically contain a significant number of duplicate occurrences that are uninteresting to the viewer. Eliminating this unnecessary information and concentrating only on the crucial events will be far more advantageous. This produces a summary of lengthy films, which can save viewers time and enable better memory management. The highlights of a lengthy video are condensed into a video summary. Video summarization is an essential topic today since many industries have CCTV cameras installed for various reasons such as monitoring, security, and tracking. Because surveillance videos are taken 24 hours a day, enormous amounts of memory and time are required if one wish to trace any incident or person from the full day’s video. The Summary generated from multiple view is far more challenging so more study and advancement in MVS is required. The conceptual basis of video summarizing approaches is thoroughly addressed in this paper. This paper addresses applications, technology challenges in Single view and Multi View summarization.

Governance mechanisms implementation in the evolution of digital platforms: a case study of the Internet of Things platform

Digital platforms have emerged as engines of innovation for companies to build complementary products and services in the ecosystems leveraged by the remarkable progress in digital technologies. However, the implementation of governance mechanisms to manage complementary innovation in digital platform ecosystems remains poorly understood. This study explores how digital platform owners implement governance mechanisms to manage complementary innovation along with the evolution of digital platforms. Based on the longitudinal case analysis of a leading Chinese digital platform in the Internet of Things sector, we identify four major governance mechanisms in digital platform ecosystems for managing complementors, which include agreement and rules, selective promotion, joint problem solving, and socialisation. We then develop two governance modes: the ‘commanding’ mode for mobilising complementors in the start‐up stage and the ‘enabling’ mode for locking in complementors in the scale‐up stage. This study reveals the major governance mechanisms and interaction dynamics between governance mechanisms and platform architecture in the evolution of digital platforms.

THE SIGNIFICANCE AND WAYS OF DEVELOPMENT OF DIGITALIZATION OF THE ECONOMY IN AGRICULTURE

Resource efficiency in the agri-food sector is a global urgent issue considering the urbanization phenomena, the increased nutritional needs, and the emergence of diversified dietary norms. Despite the ongoing progress in digital technologies that could enable resource-efficient operations in the sector, their effectiveness even in developed countries remains debatable mainly due to the limited understanding that further impedes their adoption by farmers. Among others, ease of access, training, and engagement with digital technologies appears to be challenging for most stakeholders, especially during the production (farming) stage. Specifically, in developing countries, that often encounter major natural resources challenges, the diverse socio-cultural background of the farmers hinders the adoption of digital technologies to perform highly auto-mated and efficient agricultural operations for ensuring sustainability output. In this regard, we explore publicly available data sources (i.e., institutional reports, databases) to identify key challenges in adopting digital technologies for efficient resource use from a systems-level perspective. Thereafter, we map the determinant factors using the System Dynamics methodology in order to identify areas of interventions to limit natural resources’ appropriation and support agri-food sustainability.

The progress of digital technologies in the XXI century requires radical transformations of business processes in all spheres of socio-economic life. The particular relevance of digital transformations is in the field of HRM (human resource management), which contribute not only to increased productivity but also the development of talents. Companies that are actively implementing changes in HR management, do not lose competitiveness in the market and occupy leading positions in their fields. The growing number of network teams and employees on short-term contracts in the world allow many industries to implement business processes quite quickly, based on the transformation of HR. Based on the study of the world experience of digitalization, the analysis of the vectors of transformation of HR-management functions is substantiated, the key opportunities provided by digital transformation for HR are substantiated, the emphasis is on the terminology of digital changes. Digital organizations are evolving in several areas (3E) – Enterprise, Environment and Enablement. In each of these areas, the role of HR is crucial important. Strategic changes in people management during the transition from traditional to digital management models are also analyzed. The challenges of managing people remotely during the global COVID-19 pandemic have further highlighted the need for every business to apply digital processes in HRM and learn best practices, as this is already a matter of survival in the new environment. The obtained results allowed to establish the directions of development of digital organizations, as well as to draw conclusions about the challenges of digitalization for the development of society in the XXI century. The digital transformation of HR is affecting all types of business – from the largest corporations to the smallest micro-firms. It includes the transition from long-standing and traditionally used resources, tools, and processes to digital means of storing information. In 2020, the world underwent a massive transformation of HR, as many companies have mastered digital solutions that help them work effectively remotely through the COVID-19 pandemic, the situation with which remains unclear and difficult to predict.

Digitalization of industrial systems: conceptual essence and key factors

The progress of digital technologies opens new opportunities for economic growth in general and the intensification of industrial production in particular. Issues directly related to the digitalization of industry are now on the agenda of reputable international organizations, national governments, and business representatives, and are at the center of attention of the scientific community. Studies of the phenomenon of industry digitalization are especially important for Ukraine, whose industrial sector has been in decline for a long time. The paper within the framework of a multilevel structural-functional approach highlights the essence, main advantages and problematic aspects of digitalization of industrial systems at local, regional and national levels, as well as highlights the key factors of successful modernization of the processes of design, production and consumption of industrial products under the influence of the involvement of information and digital technologies. The paper argues that the speed and success of the “digital transition” of industrial enterprises depend not only on the existing conditions for accelerated development of technological innovations or the formation of “road maps” of digitalization of certain industries or regions but also on the behavior of companies, their competitors and consumers of their products. The directions of modernization of the management system of industrial development in the conditions of the Ukrainian realities are considered. A matrix structure of program tasks to support the digitalization of the region’s industrial system is proposed. It will allow coordination of the activities of public authorities, local governments, research and educational institutions, businesses and NGOs to support measures for the digitalization of the region’s industrial system, and generate and adsorb relevant innovations. Widespread use of benchmarking methods is proposed for the successful digitalization of industrial systems at the local level.

A Tripartite Evolutionary Game Analysis of Enterprises’ Behaviour in the Platform Ecosystem

With the rapid progress of digital technology and new business models’ development, the platform ecosystem has not only penetrated every sector in society but also revealed various problems. Platform governance researchers have highlighted its significance, but failed to adequately consider ecosystem participants’ behaviour. This paper aims to explore platform governance’s effects on enterprises’ behaviour in a multiorganisational platform ecosystem context. The tripartite evolutionary game is chosen to construct a mathematical model that integrates the government, platform organisation, and internal enterprises to analyse formal and informal governance’s influence on enterprises’ behaviour in the platform ecosystem. It was discovered that both formal and informal governance can decrease internal enterprises’ opportunistic behaviours. Furthermore, formal governance has stronger effects than informal governance, although informal governance’s effects are more stable. Additionally, self-organisation in the platform ecosystem is another important area of focus. This paper enriches an understanding of platform ecosystems while formulating insights relevant in using platform governance to develop small and medium-sized enterprises.

Time for a plot twist: Beyond confirmatory approaches to binge-watching research.

The advent of the digital age with its progress in digital technology has been associated in recent years with an increase in binge-watching (i.e., seeing multiple episodes of the same TV series in one session). Binge-watching has now become the new normative way to consume TV shows. Nevertheless, along with its recent massive rise has come concerns about the associated mental and physical health outcomes. Currently available results suggest the potential harmfulness and even addictive nature of binge-watching. The psychological investigation of this behavior, however, is still in its infancy, with most studies using a confirmatory approach and assuming a priori its genuine addictive nature. In contrast, the current perspective article argues the case for an exploratory approach as an initial step for conducting research on behaviors that—at first sight—look like addiction when applying a symptom-based approach. A qualitative understanding of the phenomenological characteristics of binge-watching as the foundation of an initial comprehensive discussion makes it possible to formulate hypotheses concerning its potentially addictive nature and to emphasize challenges and directions for future research. Here we propose an exploration of the dynamics of binge-watching behavior based on a model involving emotion regulation in the etiology and maintenance of problem binge-watching

Functional clear aligner treatment of class Ⅱ malocclusion in teenagers

Class Ⅱ malocclusion is a common orofacial deformity that could harm the facial esthetics and oral function. Two-stage treatment strategy always applies to functional and skeletal (mild and moderate) class Ⅱ malocclusion with man-dibular retrognathism in teenagers. Traditional functional orthopedic appliances are less comfortable and inconvenient to correct the dental arches, making the treatment duration long. With the rapid progress of digital technology and material science, functional clear aligners that offer comfort have emerged. Functional clear aligners can combine orthopedic and orthodontic treatments to correct the jaw relationship and align the dental arch, thereby shortening the treatment duration. This paper emphasizes the treatment key points, and clinical experience of using functional clear aligners.
