Summary: This article provides a systematic review of the digital divide, identifies the factors and new forms that have emerged in recent years, and highlights the importance of education in relation to the divide. The majority of recent literature has focused on Level 2 of the divide, and there is limited research on the divide at the firm level. New forms such as type-of-internet access and potential new levels such as algorithmic awareness and data inequalities have been identified. The findings contribute to the understanding and development of the digital divide concept and offer insights for managers to address the divide within their organizations.

Summary: Geography of poverty (GOP) is a branch of human geography that studies the geographical patterns, distribution characteristics, and evolution mechanism of poverty, as well as the relationship with geographical environment and antipoverty measures. The research in GOP includes the study of impoverished areal system (IAS), regional and individual poverty, and the use of 5W + H models for analysis. Key areas for future research include the life cycle evolution law of IAS, multidimensional poverty measurement, geographical identification of poverty, dynamic simulation of poverty, poverty mapping, antipoverty measures, and poverty reduction effectiveness evaluation. Poverty geography research should focus on the complexity, spatial heterogeneity, and mechanism of poverty, and develop anti-poverty paths and models suitable for different countries.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of democracy, autocracy, and globalization on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in developing countries. The findings show that democracy and renewable energy can alleviate environmental pressure, while financial development and globalization increase environmental damage. The interaction between democracy and globalization reduces pollution levels, and the dampening effect of autocracy and globalization has a similar impact on environmental damage. Additionally, an inverted U-shaped environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis is verified across developing countries.
