    The Current Situation and Demand Drivers of Rural Home Elderly Care Services in the Context of Rural Revitalisation --- Taking Chengdu City as an Example

    Based on a sample of 487 rural elderly people from five counties (cities and districts) in Chengdu City, this paper investigates the main demand drivers affecting rural home-based elderly care service consumption willingness based on structural equation modelling. The results of the study show that (1) the overall satisfaction level of the demand for rural home-based elderly care services in Chengdu is 40%, with insufficient service relevance and low cost-effectiveness; at the same time, the service functions of the basic facilities for the elderly are not sufficiently fulfilled, and the resources are not effectively utilised. (2) The willingness to participate in home care services in rural Chengdu is mainly driven by spiritual and cultural, medical and health care and other demand factors. (3) Life care has a positive effect on rural elderly's participation in home care to a certain extent, but it is not significant. Safety and security indirectly affect rural elderly's willingness to age in place by influencing medical and health care. Therefore, the government, enterprises, communities, and families should work together in an orderly and coordinated manner to form a family-centred, community-based, and professional service-dependent socialised service for the rural elderly living at home, with the main content of solving daily life difficulties, and supplemented by spiritual and cultural services, in order to guard the rural elderly in their later years of happiness.

    Navigating the Uncertain Waters: An Analysis of the Near Future Profitability of the Russian Ruble

    This paper aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the near future of the Russian ruble, with a particular focus on its potential profitability as an investment asset. Amidst a backdrop of political tensions, economic sanctions, and ineffective forex interventions by the Russian Central Bank, the ruble has experienced significant volatility. The paper examines key factors influencing the ruble’s value, including political climate, inflation, interest rates, and main exports. The study analyzes the causes and solutions of Russia’s three major devaluations since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1992. By analyzing historical exchange rate and other economic indicators, the paper scrutinizes the internal and external indicators of ruble’s devaluation and evaluates the various policy measures taken by the Central Banks of Russia to stabilize the currency, including redenomination and shifts in exchange rate mechanisms. The paper concludes that, given the current political and economic landscape, the profitability of investing in the Russian ruble is questionable and unrecommended. Through this multi-faceted approach, this paper aims to provide a nuanced understanding of Ruble’s past and present, thereby offering valuable insights for policymakers, investors, and scholars interested in the foreign exchange market of Ruble.

    Markovian Spatio-Temporal Pattern Variation and Prediction of Green Financial Development in China's Economic Belt Based on ADABOOST Algorithm

    This paper constructs a comprehensive index system, measures China’s provincial G-FINANCING INDEX using the VIKOR algorithm, explores the spatial and temporal distribution pattern of green financial development, hotspot regional migration and discrete trends by establishing a Markov spatial transfer matrix, and predicts the future pattern of green financial development in China’s three major economic belts based on the machine-learning algorithm ADABOOST, which finds that: (1) the central region maintains a strong development momentum. The development of green finance in the region shows a scale effect, and there is a positive transmission trend of development momentum between cities. The right side of the nuclear density curve in the western region has a clear trailing trend, and the overall degree of improvement is high. The phenomenon of multi-polarisation exists among city clusters. The city clusters in the eastern region as a whole show extremely high development momentum. (2) Geographic background plays an important role in the process of transferring G-FINANCING INDEX in Chinese cities, and the level of regional G-FINANCING INDEX is the result of the joint action of desired outputs and non-desired outputs, which is dominated by the economic activities in the region, and is specifically expressed in the spatial spillover effect of regional G-FINANCING INDEX is the spatial spillover effect of regional economic activities. (3) The evolution of the G-FINANCING INDEX in the study region has obvious spatial spillover effects, and is synergistic with the type of regional G-FINANCING INDEX, showing the phenomenon of “club convergence”.

    Countermeasures for Enhancing User-Generated Content on Short Video Platforms Through Recommendation Mechanisms

    The proliferation of short video applications and platforms has paralleled the growing popularity of this media format. In the increasingly competitive landscape of short-form video, companies have adopted numerous strategies to expand their market share, retain active users, and ensure sustainable platform operations. Among these strategies, one of the most pivotal is the utilization of recommendation mechanisms and algorithms to personalize video suggestions for users. For platform users, the additional traffic and exposure facilitated by recommendation mechanisms present a valuable opportunity for their videos to reach a wider audience. This paper delves into the characteristics and commonalities of user-generated content on video platforms influenced by recommendation algorithms, and examines the strategies employed by video creators to harness the increased traffic and exposure provided by these mechanisms, as well as the dynamics between users and the platform. We have randomly selected video data from the "Beeping Beeping" pop-up website for analysis. The study also scrutinizes the actions taken by video producers to exploit the resources and opportunities provided by the recommendation mechanism. Furthermore, it explores the interactions between users and the platform. To carry out this research, we selected a sample of twenty random videos from each of the ten video producers who boast a substantial fan base on the "Bleeping.com" website. While the recommendation mechanism simplifies the user experience, it simultaneously offers varying resources and opportunities to different users. Users who comprehend the platform's recommendation guidelines and underlying algorithms can proactively leverage the mechanism to aid in video creation and dissemination. This approach enables them to actively promote high-quality user-generated content on the video platform during the video creation and upload phases.

    An Empirical Analysis of the Impact of Green Investment on China's Green Development Level: Based on Mediating and Spatial Spillover Effects

    This study, based on panel data from 30 provinces in China from 2007 to 2020, employs the Super Efficiency SBM model to measure the green total factor productivity of each province. By constructing mediating effect models and spatial econometric models, it conducts an empirical investigation into the mechanisms and spatial characteristics of how green investments promote China's green development. The results reveal that, at an overall level, green investments play a positive role in influencing China's green development. Regarding the influence pathways, innovative green technology advancements, both in terms of inventions and improvements, are important mediating channels through which green investments promote green development, with inventions having a stronger mediating effect. In terms of regional heterogeneity, green investments significantly promote green development in the eastern and central regions, while their promotion effect in the western regions is less pronounced. Concerning spatial spillover characteristics, green investments not only drive local green development levels but also stimulate the green development in surrounding areas through spatial spillover effects.

    Inflation Forecasting Using a Hybrid LSTM-SARIMA Model Based on Discrete Wavelet Transform

    The accurate prediction of inflation is of utmost importance in informing economic policy formulation and guiding private investment choices. Enhancing the precision of inflation prediction through the utilization of univariate models continues to present difficulties. Inspired by the hybrid methology that has emerged in the field of time series forecasting, which seeks to enhance forecasting accuracy by integrating linear and nonlinear approaches, the author employs a hybrid model that combines Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) techniques. The objective is to forecast the non-seasonally adjusted monthly US Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation. The hybrid model employed in this study incorporates the utilization of wavelet transform, namely the discrete wavelet transforms (DWT), for the purpose of breaking the time series data into its constituent components of details and approximation. The subsequent application of LSTM and SARIMA models aims to capture both nonlinear and linear patterns present in the data. The findings of this research indicate that the DWT-based LSTM-SARIMA model outperforms both the solo SARIMA and LSTM models in a one-step rolling window forecast over a period of five years. This superiority is particularly evident during periods characterized by severe levels of inflation.

    Digital Financial Inclusion and Enterprise Technological Innovation

    This study investigates how SMEs' creative activities are impacted by digital financial inclusion. Small and medium-sized businesses face severe funding constraints, and scientific and technical innovation struggles to advance quickly due to information asymmetry, regional development imbalance, and other issues. The dominating element of the current growth of inclusive finance, digital inclusive finance, may address these concerns through theoretical and empirical research. Despite the fact that digital inclusive finance is still in its infancy and that there are issues with the law, risk management, trust, and other areas, accelerating the development of digital inclusive finance, easing the financial restrictions on SMEs, and enhancing the drive for scientific and technological innovation can all help to promote the innovative development of SMEs. Based on the influence of SMEs' technology innovation from the perspective of digital inclusive finance, this paper analyzes the influence of technology innovation by using the multiple linear regression model of time series. Empirical analysis shows that the digitalization of digital inclusive finance has a significant positive impact on small and medium-sized enterprises' scientific and technological innovation, significantly the higher the digital support and coverage breadth index, the more pronounced the incentive of scientific and technological innovation. Considering the impact of regional differences, the paper puts forward relevant policy suggestions, including improving laws and supervision, establishing a mature credit investigation system, and strengthening risk management and the digital divide. Through these measures, digital inclusive finance can better support the financing and development of SMEs and promote scientific and technological innovation and the development of the national economy.

    Dual-Factor Investment Strategy: Market Trends and Performance Growth

    The driving forces behind stock price increases are twofold: investor expectations for the future and market sentiment. Investors prefer stocks with growing performance as they are essentially investing in the future. Market sentiment, characterized by heightened enthusiasm for buying and selling stocks, contributes to remarkable gains in stock prices, with some sectors experiencing multiple consecutive limit-up movements. Against this backdrop, this study formulates an investment strategy that combines market trends and performance growth as dual factors. The research outlines the logic, specific implementation, timing of transactions, and risk management measures associated with this strategy. Using the optical communication sector as an example, the study tests the investment strategy and concludes that stocks with strong performance or anticipated growth, situated in trending sectors with sustained market conditions, are worth purchasing. Additionally, timing transactions strategically can yield favorable returns.

    Does Fintech Investment in Commercial Banks Improve Business Performance? -- Based on the Empirical Test of 42 Listed Commercial Banks in China from 2010 to 2022

    This article aims to empirically examine the impact of internal fintech investment on operational performance using both a two-way fixed effects model and a mediation effect model. Take banks in China as research target. Through manually collected unbalanced panel data from 42 listed commercial banks spanning the years from 2010 to 2022. The key findings are as follows. First, investments in fintech significantly enhance the operational performance of banks. However, compared to state-owned banks and share-owned banks, the positive effect of fintech investments on the performance of urban commercial banks and rural commercial banks is more significant. Secondly, mediation tests on operational costs and business scope channels have revealed that fintech could achieve "cost reduction and efficiency enhancement" for urban and rural commercial banks by enhancing operational efficiency and expanding their business scope. Nonetheless, this effect is not significantly evident in state-owned banks and share-owned banks. Thirdly, further empirical testing on market share indicates that fintech investments significantly boost the market share of joint-stock commercial banks, corroborating the notion that fintech could augment the competitiveness of commercial banks. The insights garnered from this study contribute to understanding and augmenting existing research on the microeconomic consequences of the strategic fintech investment undertaken by commercial banks. Furthermore, it offers valuable references for future policies aimed at propelling the digital transformation of traditional banking industries.
