Summary: This empirical research investigates the relationship between ICT, renewable energy, economic complexity, human capital, financial development, and ecological footprint in E-7 and G-7 countries from 1995 to 2018. The findings suggest that ICT, economic complexity, and human capital increase pollution levels, while renewable energy significantly reduces them. In G-7 countries, all factors except financial development improve environmental quality. Additionally, the interaction between ICT and human capital reduces the ecological footprint level in both panel countries.

Summary: This study examines whether digitalization and research and development investments can help China achieve low carbon growth. The findings suggest that digitalization can reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and research and development investments play a moderating role between digitalization and emissions. Additionally, economic growth, financial development, and energy use contribute to higher carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, the study recommends that the Chinese government enhance research and development investments, integrate digitalization and environmental policies, and green their economic growth, financial development, and energy transition policies.

Summary: This study examines the impact of digital transformation on performance using a sample of Chinese firms. The results show that digital transformation enhances a firm's performance, leading to lower costs, better operating efficiency, and improved innovation success. The study also suggests that normal digital transformation positively affects long-term performance, while excess digital transformation boosts performance in the first two years. Additionally, it is found that digital transformation is most helpful for firms in the mature stage of their product life cycle.

Summary: There is a growing interest in quantitative analysis of large corpora among international relations scholars. To address the challenge of using unsupervised machine learning models consistently with existing theoretical frameworks, researchers have proposed a set of techniques that utilize a semisupervised model for efficient document classification. This approach involves creating a dictionary and using an entropy-based diagnostic tool to improve classification accuracy. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of semisupervised models over unsupervised models, particularly when considering contextual information.

Summary: This paper proposes a consensus-trust driven framework for bidirectional interaction in social network large-group decision making. The framework includes defining interaction consensus threshold and interaction trust threshold, designing hybrid feedback strategies, and developing a minimum adjustment bidirectional feedback model considering cohesion. The effectiveness and applicability of the model are demonstrated through its application to a blockchain platform selection problem in supply chain.
