摘要：
In China, bicycles are a popular mode of transportation for senior citizens. A disproportionate number of traffic-related fatalities and injuries involve cyclists. The violation of cycling laws is a significant cause of cyclist crashes. Few studies have analyzed the cycling violation behaviour of seniors. Therefore, it is essential to examine the factors that influence older individuals' intention to engage in cycling violation behaviours. In this study, the effects of social-demographic characteristics, the exogenous constructs in the health belief model (HBM), and the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) on senior cyclists' violation intention were investigated using hierarchical regression analysis. Interviews were conducted with older cyclists in urban areas of Wuhan City, all above 60 years of age. The results showed that very little variance in behavioural intention could be explained by social-demographic factors. The TPB has a significantly greater capacity than the HBM to explain variance in behavioural intention. Perceived susceptibility, perceived benefit, cues to action, subjective norm and attitude significantly impacted behavioural intention, whereas perceived severity, perceived barrier and self-efficacy did not.

This research has analyzed how natural resource abundance impacts economic growth and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in a sample of Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and Next Eleven (N-11) countries for the period from 2011 to 2020. Employing Fixed Effects and Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) models, the results obtained suggest that natural resource abundance has a positive effect on economic growth, natural resource abundance leads to a positive impact on CO2 emissions and natural resource abundance with CO2 emissions positively impact economic growth. This study has also showed the importance of technology and environmental regulation in this area. Results have provided important policy implications. Economic policy should incorporate improved utilization of natural resources to achieve higher economic growth. Businesses can get financial gains and lower their costs through corporate social responsibility and sustainability standards. Government authorities should implement environmental regulations and ensure compliance, in order to promote sustainable economies.

The key to advancing urbanization is to promote the urban integration of numerous migrant workers. Two stages of decision making are involved for migrant workers, including residence (staying in cities) and settlement (transferring hukou into cities). The homestead is a necessity for migrant workers to keep their “peasant” status, which will further affect migrant workers’ identification with cities and influence their decision making towards urbanization. This paper uses data from the 2017 China Migrants Dynamic Survey (CMDS), through the coarsened exact matching (CEM) method and the analysis of mediation effects, to estimate how homesteads influence migrant workers’ urbanization intention and how the sense of identity serves as a mediator variable in this mechanism. Empirical results show that the ownership of homesteads is negatively correlated with migrant workers’ urbanization intention. Migrant workers with homesteads are 1.2% less likely to stay and 4.4% less likely to settle down in cities compared with their counterparts who do not have a homestead. In addition, identity plays a mediating role in the influence mechanism of homesteads on migrant workers’ urbanization intention. That is, the homestead has an indirect effect on migrant workers’ willingness to stay and settle down in cites through the sense of identity, aside from its direct effects. The mediation effect accounts for 20.87% of the total effect for willingness to stay and 25.63% of the total effect for willingness to settle down. This paper also represents how these coefficients vary by different regions and migration distances. Therefore, policymakers should provide institutional support for correctly guiding migrant workers to “abandon their land and enter the city” and strengthen their sense of identity to the city.

摘要：
In order to enable urban economic development, the use of the right value and asset value of rural collective construction land (RCCL) is increasingly becoming apparent and this market is experiencing rapid development. However, the arrangement of the governance structure of rural shareholding cooperatives (RSCs) can seriously affect the efficiency of collective construction land market transactions, since the governance of RSCs is related to the interests of farmers. Protecting the rights and interests of farmers while improving the governance efficiency of RSCs is a considerable challenge worldwide. To better deal with this challenge, this study used a field survey in Nanhai District, Guangdong Province, China, to estimate how the governance structure of RSCs affect the efficiency of RCCL market transactions. Tobit models were constructed, and the results show that (1) most of the governance functions of RSCs were not separate from the administrative management of the village committees, which leads to low efficiency of RSCs' governance; (2) leaders of rural collective economic organizations played a key role in governance efficiency; (3) from the perspective of collective land property rights, most village shareholders did not have decision-making power or supervisory authority in the RCCL transfers because they could not complete access to transaction information. Furthermore, most villagers felt that the amount of income distributed was unreasonable, and the rights and interests of farmers and village shareholders were not guaranteed by the RSCs. Therefore, we suggest that the Chinese authorities should strengthen their current efforts to construct a more open and fair governance structure of the RSCs and thus improve their market transaction efficiency. Our work provides some insights into ways to improve the governance structure and market transaction efficiency of RSCs, which can further contribute to the development of the RCCL market in other areas of China and worldwide.

摘要：
This is a case study of cooperative development between a college and a corporation to manufacture a carton-filling machine. Specifically, a green cooperative development method was proposed that would match the college’s design capabilities with the manufacturing capacity of the enterprise. This college–enterprise cooperative development represents an extensive collaboration between industry and academia. This method integrates design for manufacturing (DFM) theory and the integrated computer aided manufacturing definition (IDEF) method to establish the IDEF0 (functional) model of manufacturing knowledge that supports the design process. The model clarifies the specific manufacturing knowledge that enterprises should provide at the conceptual design stage, preliminary design stage and detailed design stage. The forms of communication and timing of knowledge provision needed to optimize development planning and design decisions based on the manufacturing capacity of the enterprise were also determined. Through this method, the college–enterprise cooperative development project (in this case, involving a carton-filling machine) was accomplished with less time, fewer design modifications and fewer parts needing to be reworked. The results show that this method can greatly reduce the run-in period of both parties, improve the efficiency of cooperative development and reduce the cost and waste of prototyping.
摘要：
AIMS: This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between parental attachment, resilience, postpartum traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and maternal-infant bonding at 1 to 3 months postpartum. The mediation effect of resilience and PTSD on the postpartum parental attachment and maternal-infant bond was also evaluated. DESIGN: A cross-sectional research design was used. METHODS: A total of 400 postpartum women examined at a tertiary hospital in Wuhan from January 2021 to June 2021 were enrolled in the study. At about 1 to 3 months after giving birth, the women were asked to complete the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire (PBQ), Connor-Davidson Resilience scale(CD-RISC), PTSD CheckList-Civilian version (PCL-C), and the Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI). The data were summarized using descriptive statistics. Mediation analyse and the Spearman correlation (r) were used to correlate the resilience and PTSD questionnaire scores. RESULTS: The care attachment dimension was significantly associated with resilience (r = 0.24, p < 0.01), PTSD (r = - 0.27, p < 0.01), and maternal-infant bonding (r = 0.10, p < 0.01), and the overprotection attachment dimension was significantly associated with resilience (r = - 0.11, p < 0.01), PTSD (r = 0.33, p < 0.01), and maternal-infant bonding (r = 0.16, p < 0.01). Resilience and PTSD can mediate the relationship between attachment and maternal-infant bonding. CONCLUSION: Parental attachment, resilience, and PTSD significantly affect maternal-infant bonding at 1 to 3 months postpartum. IMPACT: This study demonstrated that new interventions aimed at addressing PTSD symptoms and improving resilience might increase parental attachment and maternal-infant bonding after birth. However, further research is required to evaluate the success of these interventions.

green technology investment;competitive supply chains;integration decisions
摘要：
The current study focuses on vertical supply chain integration, with a special emphasis on the competitive environment of green investment markets and green investments. The current study investigates the relationship between the final product's green service level and integration and non-integration methods within two separate supply chain models, namely the Nash competition and Stackelberg game models. To attain its goals, the study utilises an inverse derivation technique and comparative analysis. The current study investigates the best integration approach depending on the level of environmental investment in the supply chain's final product. The findings revealed that the inter-chain rivalry in green investment and the sensitivity coefficient associated with green investment impacted the integration decisions of competing chains in the Nash competition. Furthermore, when the coefficient of the sensitivity to green investment was greater than 0.375, the choice to integrate logistics service supply chains in a horizontal Nash competition was independent of the amount of service competition intensity. In such cases, taking a different strategy than the rival chain might potentially increase the grade of eco-friendly services provided by one's own chain.

摘要：
As a new financial instrument under the strategy of digital economic development, digital inclusive finance has become an effective way to fill the market gap that exists in traditional finance. Inclusive financial resources are needed for tourism development and recovery in less-developed regions, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding the impact of DIF on tourism development is the key to promoting high-quality economic growth in China. Although previous studies have explored the factors influencing tourism development, the effect of DIF on sustainable tourism development is still at its earlier stage and is not well researched. Therefore, this study aims to explore the direct impact of DIF on tourism development and examines whether there is threshold effect. Based on panel data from 63 counties in the Wuling Mountain Area, China, from 2014 to 2019, this research applied a series of panel regression models to explore whether the DIF can promote sustainable tourism development. The results indicate that the DIF plays a positive role in improving sustainable tourism development. Considering regions, types of counties, and different dimensions of the DIF, there are differences in positive effects of DIF on sustainable tourism development. The impact of DIF on tourism development is dynamic and non-linear. Finally, practical implications for enhancing the promotion and development of DIF and achieving sustainable tourism development are discussed, particularly for less-developed regions.

摘要：
This study investigates the long-term effects of school consolidation on human capital formation. We explore the implementation of a large-scale primary school consolidation programme in rural China aimed at improving the quality and efficiency of education. Using a difference-in-differences strategy, we find that exposure to the programme significantly increases the number of years of schooling completed by rural children. The effect changes with exposure duration to the RPSC programme and is stronger for children from areas with low economic development, areas with low educational inputs, and families with low parental education. Moreover, we provide evidence that improvements in input-based and output-based school quality are important mechanisms by which the programme affects educational attainment. Finally, the results of further analysis alert us to the adverse effects of the programme on noncognitive skills such as agreeableness and emotional stability, as well as on labour supply time in adulthood.

摘要：
Green technology innovation of heavily polluting enterprises is a critical way to alleviate environmental pressure and promote sustainable development. However, the ways in which the interaction of influencing factors affects heavily polluting enterprises in green technology innovation in China have not been fully addressed and need to be investigated in this field. This paper explored the impact of government environmental regulation, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and public attention on promoting green technology innovation of heavily polluting enterprises based on S-O-R (stimulus–organism–response) and stakeholder theories. The panel data of A-share listed companies in China’s heavily polluting industries from 2008 to 2020 was used to investigate their interactions by adopting POLS (Pooled Ordinary Least Square) method. The main results show that (1) environmental regulation has a significant positive effect on green technology innovation; it especially has a great impact on state-owned heavily polluting enterprises; (2) CSR plays a mediating role between environmental regulation and green technology innovation; (3) public attention has a moderating effect between CSR and green technology innovation and also moderates the indirect effect of environmental regulation on green technology innovation through CSR. The results illustrate that green technology innovation should be not only guided by governmental regulation, but also supplemented by enterprises’ internal driven force and public supervision, which can give implications for promoting the development of green technology innovation and optimizing environmental policy tools.
摘要：
We examine the effects of environmental resources policy on enterprises total factor productivity (TFP), based on data of manufacturing companies from 2008 to 2017 and a three-subject framework of central government, local governments, and enterprises. A difference-in-differences assessment strategy is constructed using China's new environmental protection law as a quasi-natural experiment for the regulatory environment. The results show that the new Environmental Protection Law can promote enterprises TFP. And after performing multiple robustness tests, the results remain significant. We then explore the heterogeneous effects of enterprise political resources and find that there is a "political resource curse" effect in Porter hypothesis, i.e. stringent environmental regulations cannot promote the TFP of enterprises with political resources. Local government political connections may have led to a "political resource curse" effect, rather than central government. This article accordingly proposes targeted policy recommendations to improve the total factor productivity of enterprises and promote national economic development.

competition in services;competitive supply chains;logistics service supply chains;integration decisions
摘要：
In the logistics sector, price competition is no longer the only form of horizontal competition between logistics service integrators; instead, it frequently takes the form of service efficiency competition among chains. Facing fierce market competition, vertical resource integration gradually becomes the trend in logistics industry integration. Using the inverse derivation method and comparative analysis, this study examines the relationship between the overall profit of its chain and that of the rival chain under service efficiency competition with or without the integration strategy. Furthermore, it builds two parallel competition logistics service supply chain models based on the inter-chain Nash competition and Stackelberg game of the chain members. The study results demonstrate that when the cost per unit of service efficiency is fixed, the greater the intensity of competition between chains, the more managers should tend to choose an integration strategy to maximize their profits. More interestingly, we find that the optimal integration decision of the supply chain is independent of the competitive intensity when the cost required to improve the unit service efficiency is extremely high.

摘要：
The collaboration of digitalization refers to a comprehensive digital governance system that achieves cross-regional digital industrialization and deep integration of industrial digitization through the construction of digital infrastructure, which paves the way toward regional sustainability. However, little is known about whether and to what extent regional digital collaboration contributes to green development. Furthermore, the specific role of digital collaboration in greening the regional economy and society remains unexplored. Thus, this paper tests the relationship between digital collaboration, business environment, and regional green development by using data from 285 prefecture-level cities in China from 2008 to 2022. The findings suggest that: (1) the hysteresis phenomenon of the “green dividend effect” response to regional digital collaboration is present; (2) digital collaboration in eastern cities positively impacted (but lagged) the greening of the economy and society, but cities in central and western regions negatively impact this process; (3) the business environment mediates the relationship between the lagged digital collaboration and regional green development, and it positively moderates the relationship between both the current and lagged digital collaboration and regional green development. By elucidating the relationship between digital collaboration, business environment, and regional green development, contributions have been made to previous digital innovation literature, and management insights have been provided for how regions can promote green development in the digital age.
