    Research on the Obstacles, Practical Challenges, and Strategies for Digital Transformation of Small and Medium-sized Manufacturing Enterprises in China

    In the wave of digitalization where “smart manufacturing” has become a mainstream trend, there are immense growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the manufacturing industry. However, given the characteristics of “small, weak, and scattered” nature of SMEs, digital transformation still faces many obstacles and challenges from a professional, investment, and practical implementation perspective. There are many difficulties in practice. This paper proposes routes and strategies for SMEs to undergo digital transformation from the perspectives of talent cultivation structure, industry differences, policy formulation during implementation, data security issues, and further improvement of relevant laws and regulations. It is suggested that enterprises should formulate and implement more comprehensive and long-term digital strategic plans based on their own actual situations. Governments should also focus on supporting SMEs’ digital transformation in various aspects such as talent cultivation, policy support, laws, and regulations. Together, we should promote technological innovation and talent cultivation to lay a solid foundation for successful transformation.

    Pathways and Innovative Mechanisms for Achieving Urban Carbon Neutrality

    This paper discusses the problems of the traditional carbon emissions trading mechanism, such as failing to effectively incorporate carbon sinks into the carbon market and failing to adequately incentivise the economic and ecological development of cities, and proposes a new urban carbon neutral trading system to solve these problems. The new urban carbon neutral trading system is based on the city as a unit, and by fully integrating carbon sinks into the trading system, it adopts the market mechanism to regulate the balance between carbon emissions and carbon sinks, so as to realise the coordinated development of the urban economy and the green environment. In addition, this study develops a comprehensive evaluation index system for urban carbon neutrality, and uses big data and intelligent analysis techniques to improve the accuracy and real-time performance of urban carbon management. These innovations not only help strengthen urban environmental management, but also promote urban economic transformation and provide theoretical support for sustainable regional economic growth.

    Allocation under Justice

    This paper addresses the problem of allocating 30 unclaimed items to researchers in a fair manner. Five definitions of fairness are derived, considering philosophical, social, and economic aspects. A quantitative evaluation system is established to measure fairness. The allocation is then evaluated using this system. Foundational models, based on zero-one integer linear programming, are developed for each definition. Social interactions between researchers are incorporated into the models, including competition, collaboration, and an auction model. The second section introduces the concept of item relationships, as the value of items can be enhanced when certain items are possessed together. Matrices are used to represent these relationships, making the model more applicable to real-world situations. Sensitivity analysis is conducted to assess the accuracy of each model. The coding implements linear programming and analysis, presenting the results in various visual forms. After refining the model, distributions are calculated using different models and compared. The model is then applied to distribute items among five researchers, and multiple fairness assessments are conducted based on different definitions. The results indicate that, out of four definitions (sixteen in total), two are fair, one is relatively fair, and one is unfair. In conclusion, this paper utilizes linear programming to evaluate fairness in allocation scenarios. The model is refined with adjustments such as mutual interactions, auctions, item interdependencies, and relationships. It provides a comprehensive assessment of fairness and offers practical insights for decision-makers when addressing allocation issues, not only for this particular problem but also for similar situations in society.

    Exploring the Macro Impact on China's Economy in the Post-epidemic Era and the Russia-Ukraine Conflict and the Countermeasures

    in contemporary times, the global economy has witnessed increased interconnectivity. This also means that in the context of the global economy, China is more susceptible to the influence of external factors. In recent years, the COVID-19, which has spread widely around the world, has severely impacted the development of China's real economy with its high infectivity and uncertainty. At the same time, due to the geopolitical impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, China's major imports of fertilizers from Russia and cereals from Ukraine have been weakened. Finding ways to cope with the weakening of the economy has become a top priority in line with the development trend. The study suggests that top priority is to increase the diversity of food production and increase the diversification of national food reserves. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the country's strategic energy reserves to reduce external dependence and prevent future problems. Externally, China are supposed to strive to build a global economic community, strengthen international cooperation, and be able to "learn from the enemy and learn from the enemy".

    The Impact of Early Childhood Education's Increasing Trend Towards Younger Ages on the Early Education Industry in China's Economically Developed Areas: A Perspective from the Heckman Curve

    The trend towards younger ages in early childhood education has become one of the new trends in children's education in China. Based on Heckman's Curve theory, this paper analyzes the intrinsic relationship between the trend towards younger ages in early education and Heckman's Curve, as well as their impact on the early education industry in China's economically developed regions. From the perspective of the Heckman Curve, families in economically developed areas are increasingly valuing early education, and the trend towards younger ages is a real-world confirmation of Heckman's Curve. The study finds that the early education industry is facing the dual challenges of market structure adjustment and consumer upgrading. In such a market environment, early education brands need to continually adjust their educational models and pricing strategies to better meet market demands and enhance brand influence and competitiveness. With increasing market competition and diverse consumer demands, early education brands should strengthen the development of teaching content, improve teaching quality and service, focus on brand marketing and market promotion, continuously improve customer satisfaction and loyalty, and achieve sustainable development and long-term success. Only through constant innovation and optimization can they remain competitive in a fierce market, winning trust and support.

    Analysis of China's Banking Market: Based on ARIMA Model

    China's A-share stock market has long been influenced by the banking sector, which holds a significant market capitalization. However, much of the current market research is macro-focused, which can result in a lack of correlation with individual stocks. Thus, this paper will begin with individual stocks and utilize the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) forecasting model to statistically predict their expected value. Additionally, it will analyze the errors of individual stocks and various statistical indices, and ultimately relate them to the fluctuations and patterns in the banking sector. Through these analysis in individual stock behavior, this paper will provide insight into seeking the volatility and movements of individual stocks and exploring the correlation between market sentiment and individual stocks, particularly in relation to the banking sector. By understanding these trends and correlations, it is possible to predict stock movements, analyze stock fluctuations, and analyze market behavior. This information can be valuable to individuals and companies working in the stock market.
