Today, the Internet trust is a critical framework that forms a fundamental premise for network security. Several identity federations are deployed to embody the classic theory of trust framework. However, in an emerging blockchain-based decentralized system, we need to model dynamically grown/shrunken trust. This paper models the trust elasticity by formalizing PDP(policy decision point)s of enrolling entities and introducing Trust PDP. In the proposed formalization, assertions are exchanged among participating nodes to express the knowledge of the PDP of nodes. The knowledge may grow by exchanging assertions. Furthermore, we propose exchanging assertions on the trust relationship to express the elasticity of trust. The judgment on trust is operated by Trust PDP that affects the elasticity of trust. The proposed theory is applied to the trust establishment of blockchain and an authorization management system based on blockchain. The trust in the blockchain environment is expressed in terms of Trust PDP.

We propose a novel nonparametric approach for estimating the production frontier based on a data-fitting technique. The proposed approach allows for stochastic noise and provides decision-makers with a general and flexible estimation procedure to support and facilitate the decision-making process in the stochastic context. A major feature of the proposed approach is that the estimation procedure is completely nonparametric and easy to implement. Similar to other existing nonparametric approaches, our proposed approach results in an estimate of the piece-wise linear production frontier. In contrast to the existing ones, the evaluation of each data point is performed within a unit-specific data range. We also propose a naive method for determining the data ranges of each data point. The performance of our proposed approach is examined using various simulated scenarios. For each scenario, we compare our proposed approach with the existing methods, including the data envelopment analysis (DEA), the stochastic nonparametric envelopment of data (StoNED), and the stochastic frontier analysis (SFA). The simulation results suggest that our approach performs better than the existing methods in the single input and single output case. Our proposed approach can also be easily extended to a multi-input setting. Moreover, the proposed naive method on data ranges also shows its flexibility and usefulness in the simulated examples.

Traffic psychology covers not only the act of driving but also includes inherent phenomena such as accidents, violations, and the generation of emotions. This article proposes the development of a driving simulator within the video game Grand Theft Auto V, taking advantage of the artificial intelligence of characters that interact with the player, as well as other drivers and pedestrians. The implementation includes the adaptation of steering wheel type controls and the creation of a mod in C# for data collection and export. This implementation seeks to obtain useful data for the analysis of the behavior of the drivers evaluated during the driving tests carried out in three virtual circuits within a city. By performing the tests with drivers of different levels of experience, it was possible to verify the effectiveness of the tool in its use and realism. According to the individuals evaluated, the simulator achieved an average realism of 4.6 on a Likert scale from 1 to 5. Likewise, the results obtained show that the data collected by the simulator is less biased than those obtained through a post-driving survey.

When a major public health incident breaks out, in order to prevent the explosion of multiple types of public opinion, relevant government departments need to guide the online public opinion according to the needs and characteristics of different audiences in order to achieve reasonable regulation and control. In this process, gender differences among the participating public in areas such as comprehension ability often affect the effectiveness of government guidance. A proper understanding of these differences will enable the government to allocate resources on the basis of needs to save resources and achieve the same goals with half the effort. This paper takes the outbreak of the COVID-19 as an example to analyze the gender differences among users in terms of the overall volume of participation and specific participation behaviors from the dimension of time and geographical locations. A total of 735,271 comments posted by users in responding to tweets published by 144 official government accounts on Weibo during the COVID-19 outbreak were collected and analyzed with a combination of the methods of natural language processing and propensity score analysis. The results show that in comparison to male users, female users participated more, and their responses were more emotionally expressive. Female users tended to respond faster than male users by 30 minutes to an hour, which allowed female users to play a more important role in the process of government guidance of public opinion during major public health incidents. Therefore, this study further provides policy recommendations for the government to provide reasonable guidance of public opinion and give future direction.

China has now entered a stage of high-quality development. Realizing the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry in the new stage is conducive to promoting China’s high-quality development process. However, the current problem of insufficient capacity utilization in the manufacturing industry will affect its transformation and upgrading. From the perspective of micro-enterprises based on the data of 1,628 A-share listed companies in China’s manufacturing industry, this paper uses a random panel Tobit model to study the impact of technological innovation on enterprise capacity utilization. The research results show that technological innovation promotes the optimization and upgrading of enterprise products, improves the production efficiency of enterprises, and effectively promotes the improvement of enterprise capacity utilization.

The increasingly effective managing of risks in construction projects requires the stakeholders to collaborate, resulting in the need to integrate the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) to mitigate the risks in project collaboration. Our understanding of strategic planning of BIM adoption amidst a pandemic is still limited, and it is widely accepted that COVID-19 is a long-term pandemic that require a constant and innovative range of mitigation approaches to protect public health. The significant construction advances emphasize remote work and digital tools that assist in the project’s on-time completion. A fully digitalized approach is necessary for service continuity and rapid processing, particularly during a pandemic. Therefore, this study develops an adaptive digital collaboration framework based on Cloud-Based BIM technology to reduce risks while increasing workplace productivity and mobility. It resulted in a new way of managing the project information, enhancing the design team collaboration, and transforming 2D plans into 3D models. It integrates information to take a building through a virtual construction process long before it is completed, and each team member has access to the most up-to-date and current project information.

The development of roads has been one of the nation’s most essential infrastructural initiatives. It is an essential mode of transportation that plays an important role in our everyday lives. Because of its importance, the government has allotted large budgets in making roads in different parts of the country. The quantity and complexity of road construction projects have substantially expanded in recent years. Numerous novel methods and technology have been developed to facilitate road construction budgeting, planning, and decision-making. Using Artificial Neural Network (ANN), this study constructed a forecasting model to accurately anticipate the future costs of road improvements. Between 2017 and 2020, fifty (50) completed road projects from the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Regional Office XI were utilized by the researcher. The DPWH RO XI is one of the country’s largest implementing offices for constructing public roads catering the entire Davao Region. This research used the project cost as the dependent variable while the independent variables are the construction activities’ revised duration and variation order in running the model. Multiple linear regression model performance was compared to the performance of the neural network prediction model. The data included the major construction activities for road projects with its corresponding revised duration, actual and planned cost, and the reason for variation order. It demonstrates that the neural network models outperform to the multiple linear regression (MLR) model in terms of prediction accuracy. This research offers a model to the government agencies and contractors implementing road construction in predicting road construction costs more accurately.

With the deepening of industrial automation, a large number of edge intelligent devices are deployed in industrial meter detection. In view of the limited computing and storage capacity of these embedded devices, we propose a lightweight meter detection method. Our proposed method is based on the widely used Yolov5, the depthwise separable convolution and squeeze and excitation channel attention module are used to simplify the backbone and head of the network, and further prune the filters of convolution layers via geometric median. Finally, model parameters and floating-point operations are reduced to 0.250M and 0.687G on the premise of ensuring the effect of the meter detection.

The main function of Chinese medicine decision support system is to cluster Chinese medicines based on K-means (cluster Chinese medicines with similar properties into groups, so as to discover new properties of Chinese medicines, which can be referred to during drug use). The other is to classify Chinese medicines by Bayesian classification. The purpose of classification is to find the traditional Chinese medicine that can be used as nutritious food, or to find the traditional Chinese medicine with food and nutritional properties. Firstly, the traditional Chinese medicine with known food properties is used as the sample, and the Bayesian algorithm is used for learning and training. Then, the training model is used to analyze the new traditional Chinese medicine, so as to analyze whether a certain traditional Chinese medicine has the properties of nutritional food. Other functions include traditional Chinese medicine basic information management, traditional Chinese medicine data collection, traditional Chinese medicine data preprocessing, etc. After the operation of classification and clustering, the input data of traditional Chinese medicine will have more predictive values (mainly whether it has food nutrition or which traditional Chinese medicine can be divided into the same group), which can be used for reference by traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.

The traditional collaborative filtering algorithm does not consider the influence of item popularity in similarity calculation, and the prediction score does not consider the influence of time on the change of user interest, resulting in inaccurate similarity calculation and single recommendation result. To solve these problems, this paper improved the traditional similarity calculation method by combining the item popularity penalty coefficient, improved the recommendation diversity of the algorithm, and integrated the time factor into the prediction method to solve the problem of interest attenuation. Experiments on the 100K and 1M data set of Movielens show that the improved algorithm effectively improves the accuracy and coverage of recommendations.

This research aims to know some examples of papers that relate the intellectual capital and information (the theory of) and the relationships established between both. Previous research, up to this date of 2022, has been insufficient and disjointed in a single direction. There is a lack of objective approaches (instead of subjective), and there is a lack of approaches that allow replications to reality and, above all, that make it possible to know the intellectual capital and information (the theory of) to make known an objective value, expressed in euros, as if it were other products. At the same time, there must be dynamics that make it vary over time, know its sources of change and know what makes it remain the same, raise or lower its value. Once this desideratum is reached, the real objective that materializes the intellectual capital and the information (the theory of) that underlies it is reached.

This paper has approached the investment method by alpha value as the excess return to compensate for risks other than the market risk with the data sample of filtered stocks from three major exchanges of the Vietnam stock market HOSE, HNX, and UPCOM from January 2016 to December 2020. Then, we compare the performance of the portfolio through 2021, the year Vietnam fell into the 4th wave of Covid and was the hardest hit. The results of the paper have shown that the portfolio selected by the alpha method has eliminated the beta market risk of the portfolio and has the actual portfolio return higher than the general rate of return of the stock market index, thereby reinforcing and proving the effectiveness of the alpha investment model.

Through this research, it has been highlighted with evidence to teach students practical HRM skills has numerous benefits and so that Chinese nursing students can match their academic understanding with their practical experience. By reviving this practice, it becomes a process of re-engineering in Chinese teaching systems. This applied research had 91 respondents collected through primary data. SPSS tool is used to analyse these datasets. ANOVA and Measurement model analysis were done based on the data collected.

Moral education in colleges and universities goes through the teaching of all the courses, which integrates into all the links of teaching and practice. In daily teaching, moral education is a kind of implicit education influencing in a imperceptible way. The teaching content of “International Law” includes profound moral education, which can effectively transfer from “ideological and political courses” to “ideological and political theories teaching in all courses”. Therefore, interactive case-based teaching method is a good way to achieve ideological and political teaching in a “silent and soft” way. Through interactive case-based teaching, moral education can be penetrated into the lecturing of professional course knowledge and a series of activities, which can form the course teaching with the integration of “intellectual education” and “moral education”, to integrate the values shaping, knowledge imparting and ability cultivation. In this way, the fundamental task of building morality and cultivating people will be fully implemented.
