    Abstract Independent of different national conditions, an indisputable fact is that the worldwide governments should play a role in fighting the ongoing COVID-19. To make clear the determinants of government response to tackle COVID-19, I investigate the impact of governance quality. To do so, I newly create an overall governance index based on six dimensions of Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) from the World Bank to proxy governance quality. I regress the overall governance index with controls on the stringency index from the Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker database. Using pooled and panel data models with individual and time fixed effects, I find that the relationship between governance quality and policy stringency for 339 days across 163 countries is significantly nonmonotonic. Countries with middle governance quality select a high level of policy stringency in contrast to those with high and low governance quality. I also find that policy stringency significantly increases when daily new cases increase. The findings highlight the role of governance quality in deciding the stringency level of public health policies.

    Abstract Abstract Anhui province faces a twofold challenge of reconciling the opportunities presented by the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta region, alongside the pressures of achieving sustained economic growth. This paper studies tourism and logistics industries in Anhui Province, utilizing the entropy weight-Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method to conduct a comprehensive analysis of their development levels over the past seven years. The coupling coordination degree model is also employed to evaluate the current state of coordination between the two industries and to identify the obstacle factors for their progress. The findings demonstrate the logistics industry in Anhui province achieves some limited and substantive progress in the sample period, the tourism industry encounters a discernible negative trend. The lack of star-rated hotels, specialized travel agencies, inadequate domestic tourism income, relatively fewer international routes, and lower volumes of express deliveries present significant challenges to achieving high-quality development. The highlight of this paper is to propose feasible suggestions to enhance the coupling coordination between tourism and logistics industries and promote their important role in high-quality economic development in Anhui Province, China. These suggestions provide policymakers with a clear decision-making basis, which is of great significance for the long-term sustainable development of the tourism and logistics industries. Finally, the research methods and findings of this paper have noteworthy implications and useful references for related research.

    Abstract With the development of big data technology more and more perfect, many colleges and universities have begun to use it to analyze the construction work. In daily life, such as class, study, and entertainment, the campus network exists. The purpose of this article is to study the online behavior of users, analyze students’ use of the campus network by analyzing students, and not only have a clear understanding of the students’ online access but also feedback on the operation and maintenance of the campus network. Based on the big data, this article uses distributed clustering algorithm to study the online behavior of users. This article selects a college online user as the research object and studies and analyzes the online behavior of school users. This study found that the second-year student network usage is as high as 330,000, which is 60.98% more than the senior. In addition, the majority of student users spend most of their online time on the weekend, and the other time is not much different. The duration is concentrated within 1 h, 1–2 h, 2–3 h in these three time periods. By studying the user’s online behavior, you can understand the utilization rate of the campus network bandwidth resources and the distribution of the use of the network, to prevent students from indulging in the virtual network world, and to ensure that the network users can improve the online experience of the campus network while accessing the network resources reasonably. The research provides a reference for network administrators to adjust network bandwidth and optimize the network.

    Abstract This study examines tourist trust in a government-initiated tourism brand from the perspective of the economic sustainability of the tourism industry. Its antecedents comprise traveler visit motivation, visitor experience perception, and willingness to visit/revisit, and the study assesses the moderating role of believers/nonbelievers in developing a tourism brand. The data were obtained from 20 notable religious-themed attractions listed among the “100 Religious Attractions” in Taiwan. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed to respondents who had visited, or were planning to visit, the listed attractions. Three hundred and eighty-five valid questionnaires were collected with the hypotheses developed and examined using the SEM method. This study analyzes the motivational and experiential differences between religious-oriented and ordinary visitors to the “100 Religious Attractions” and its brand effect concerning peripheral industry consumption behavior (e.g., food and beverage, religious items, and surrounding sightseeing sites). Last, this study discloses that the willingness to visit/revisit determinants, service value perception, and spiritual experience significantly affect tourism brand trust. These results offer a better understanding for both scholars and practitioners of religious-themed attractions regarding how tourists’ visit/revisit intentions and their willingness to consume affect the creation of tourism destination brand trust that is sustainable.

    Abstract With the continuous development of mobile communication and satellite navigation technologies, the positioning requirements of 5G smart communication base stations are becoming higher and higher. With the opening of GNSS raw observation data, research on the positioning of a 5G smart communication base station has become a research hotspot in the surveying and mapping disciplines. In this paper, based on the GNSS observation data of the 5G smart communication base station, the quality of the original GNSS observation data of the 5G smart communication base station is studied and analyzed. A method based on Doppler smoothing pseudorange solves the problem that the original pseudorange observation values of the 5G smart communication base station are noisy and prone to multipath errors due to the limitations of the base station chips and processes, which makes the traditional data processing methods unable to meet the demand for higher accuracy positioning. This method uses Doppler observations to smooth the pseudorange and determines the Doppler smoothing strategy and closure values to improve the data quality. The experimental data show that Doppler smoothing pseudorange can improve data quality and positioning accuracy by 67.9% in the E direction, 64.8% in the N direction, and 65.5% in the U direction. The future world will develop in the direction of intelligence, and the wireless network 5G technology used to support the construction of this intelligent system will become the core driver for the development of a leading intelligent society. 5G network signals have higher reliability and lower latency and can meet the specific needs of smart manufacturing, autonomous driving, and other industrial applications. This new base station product can meet the construction needs of future 5G base stations, adapt to the future intensive, miniaturized, intelligent station construction mode, and realize safe and fast station construction, providing the necessary hardware support for 5G network coverage.

    Abstract Promoting corporate total factor productivity is important content for high-quality development in the manufacturing industry. Under the background of digitalization, probing whether digital transformation affects corporate total factor productivity is worth further study. We investigate the digitalization level of China’s listed manufacturing companies from a micro perspective using text analysis methods and empirically study whether and how corporate digital transformation affects its total factor productivity. We reveal that: First, moderate digital transformation improves the total factor productivity of manufacturing firms significantly, and there is a nonlinear inverted U-shaped effect between them, which is robust across different methods of measuring digital transformation and TFP and samples and passes the sensitivity analysis. Second, mechanism examination verifies that the promotion effects that digital transformation provides on corporate total factor productivity is mainly through promoting service-oriented manufacturing, technological innovation, and enterprise-scale effect. Third, that promotion effect is more intensified when the company is state-owned, or the company is non-key pollution monitored. Finally, with the deepening of digitalization, its positive promotion effect on corporates’ total factor productivity varies—showing a significant threshold feature, which is much stronger when the degree is lower than the critical value. This paper argues that digitalization has a marginal decreasing boosting effect on enterprise total factor productivity after reaching a certain degree. The study plays an important role in guiding the current promotion of enterprise digital transformation.

    Abstract As typical innovation organizations, the structure and efficiency of cooperation among universities’ innovation behaviors are important influencing factors for regional innovation sustainable development. In 2019, the Chinese government promulgated the “Outline of the Development Plan of The Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Great Bay Area”, which directly promotes a sustainable cooperation network of universities in the Great Bay Area. This study used UCINET to visualize the cooperation network of universities in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao based on the cooperation data generated by 35 universities in the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Great Bay Area, jointly establishing 37 professional alliances that developed 888 cooperation ties from 2017 to 2022. The results show that the current cooperative network density of universities in the Great Bay Area is high (density = 0.746), but the cohesion trend is not significant (network centralization = 26.92%); a clear circle structure has been formed. The network exhibits a narrow shape at both ends and widens in the middle; the higher the hierarchical position of universities in the region, the more likely they are to enter the core cooperation network and establish more cooperation relationships. Universities in the marginal circles find it especially difficult to initiate cooperative relationships due to their disadvantageous position in terms of limited resources and a lack of administrative intervention. The current cooperation situation still has room for expansion.

    Abstract AbstractBackground Among malignant neoplasm patients taking immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), it remains unknown how the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) affects their clinical prognosis. We therefore performed the present meta-analysis by collecting the most recent data, so that SII’s prognostic value among ICI-receiving carcinoma patients could be fully clarified.Methods For the prognostic significance evaluation of SII in ICI-receiving carcinoma patients, the combined hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated.Results The number of studies enrolled in the present meta-analysis totaled 17, where 1,990 patients were involved. Among the ICI-treated carcinoma patients, a high SII was linked significantly to inferior overall survival (OS) (HR = 2.62, 95% CI = 1.76–3.90), as well as progression-free survival (PFS) (HR = 2.09, 95% CI = 1.48–2.95) (p both <.001). Contrastively, SII was linked insignificantly to the age (OR = 1.08, 95% CI = 0.39–2.98, p = .881), gender (OR = 1.01, 95% CI = 0.59–1.73, p = .959), lymph node (LN) metastasis (OR = 1.41, 95% CI = 0.92–2.17, p = .117), or metastatic site quantity (OR = 1.49, 95% CI = 0.90–2.46, p = .119).Conclusion There are prominent associations of elevated SII with the poor survival outcomes (both short- and long-terms) among the ICIreceiving carcinoma patients. SII has potential as a reliable and cheap prognostic biomarker in the clinic for carcinoma patients receiving ICIs.

    Abstract ObjectiveThis study is designed to investigate the relationship between Internet use and subjective well-being of the older adults in China, and to analyze the mediating role of subjective social fairness in the above relationship.MethodsBased on the five-wave mixed interface survey data of China General Social Survey (CGSS) in 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017, and 2018, we select a total of 18,458 older adults aged 60 and above, and comprehensively used ordered probit regression, propensity score matching (PSM), and Karlson-Holm-Breen (KHB) mediating effect test methods.ResultsThe analysis results show that (1) Internet use is significantly positively correlated with the subjective well-being of the older adults, and the higher the frequency of use, the stronger the subjective well-being. (2) Place of residence, education, and regional factors moderated the effect of Internet use on subjective well-being. The subjective well-being effect of Internet use is significant among male older adults, as well as on urban, educated, or eastern older adults. (3) Subjective social fairness plays a negative mediating role in the relationship between Internet use and subjective well-being of older adults.ConclusionThe findings suggest that Internet use contributes to the improvement of subjective well-being in older adults, but attenuates this effect by reducing the subjective social fairness. Future research should further consider other factors such as the purpose, specific function, intensity of Internet use, etc., to gain a deeper understanding of how the Internet can help promote well-being.
