Promoting the development of renewable energy has become the key factor to solve the problems of energy and climate change issues. However, its development is largely constrained by the prices of traditional fossil energy. This paper explores the influence of various fossil energy price changes on renewable energy stock returns using a network approach. Specifically, a positive and negative returns network and value-at-risk (VaR) network are constructed separately for identifying the asymmetric and extreme information spillover. Our findings show the fossil energy–renewable energy network system has a relatively high level of interdependence. The electricity market behaves as the major contributor to the changes of renewable energy returns in the returns connectedness network, while oil and coal contribute most to the changes of renewable energy returns in the VaR connectedness network. The dynamic results show that the contributions of fossil energy price changes to renewable energy returns have strong time-varying pattern with high volatility over time. The total connectedness in the positive returns network is slightly stronger than that in the negative returns network for most of the time during our sample period.

Based on the classic quadratic map (CQM) with abundant bifurcations and periodic windows, a new 3D improved coupling quadratic map (3D-ICQM) is constructed, and its phase diagram, Lyapunov exponent (LE) and randomness testing by TestU01 demonstrated that it has better ergodicity, more complex nonlinear behavior, larger chaotic range and better randomness. To investigate its application in cryptography, a 3D-ICQM based color image encryption algorithm with round key expansion is designed. To further enhance the randomness of key stream, the hash value of intermediate cipher of the previous round is converted into new initial values and fed back into 3D-ICQM, to generate the key stream for the current round. The security and statistical analyses demonstrated that the encryption scheme has better security performance than several existing algorithms.

In this study, value at risk and conditional value at risk are used to measure the risks of pilot carbon markets of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Tianjin, Hubei, Shenzhen and Chongqing in China. Regular vine copula-CoES is used to measure the risk spillover effects among carbon markets of Guangdong, Hubei and Shenzhen with high transactions. The empirical results show that compared with the traditional value at risk, conditional value at risk can better measure the risks of carbon markets. Carbon markets of Chongqing, Tianjin and Shenzhen have higher risks than those of Hubei and Guangdong. Risk spillover effects are found between carbon markets of Guangdong and Shenzhen, rather than between those of Hubei and Guangdong.

Significance In real-world scenarios, many subnetworks interact with other subnetworks to form a modular interacting network system. In previous models, it was assumed that all subnetworks may be linked pairwise; however, in real systems, only some pairs of subnetworks are connected. Understanding how to develop theoretical frameworks and study system resilience of general coupling patterns of the subnetworks is of significant importance for designing and optimizing economic, social, and infrastructure networks. Here we present two frameworks for such systems having specific coupling patterns to investigate their resilience. Specifically, we find an optimal level of interaction between subnetworks, which maximizes the system’s resilience to failures. Our findings highlight the need to consider real-world coupling patterns and possible optimizations for designing resilient systems.

In recent years, a large number of S-Box design schemes have been proposed. However, after detection we found that most of them contain fixed point or reverse fixed point, which may be an exploitable weakness in cryptography. In order to design a strong S-Box construction algorithm, and eliminate fixed point and reverse fixed point intelligently, we first designed an improved coupling quadratic map (ICQM), which is surjective and has good ergodicity and randomness, verified by bifurcation diagram, Lyapunov exponent and strict randomness testing tool of TestU01. Then we reconstructed a keyed strong S-Box scheme without weakness based on ICQM and backtracking. Experiments results indicated the effectiveness of the proposed S-Box construction scheme.

Industrial structure low-carbon restructuring is an essential channel to accelerate China’s economic growth and fulfilling carbon emission reduction goals. Whether carbon emission trading pilot policy, as an influential carbon reduction instrument, fosters industrial structure low-carbon restructuring is of major significance to green economic development. This paper empirically investigates the shock of the carbon emission trading pilot policy on industrial structure low-carbon restructuring using the differences-in-differences (DID) and synthetic control method (SCM). Statistics reveal that sectors with low carbon productivity, such as electricity, steam, and hot water production and supply, ferrous metal smelting and pressing, etc., and sectors with high carbon productivity, such as electrical equipment and machinery, electronics and telecommunication equipment, etc. The industrial structure did not develop a stable trend of change before the 12th Five-Year Plan, but a stable trend of low-carbon restructuring emerged after such a period. Carbon emission trading pilot policy significantly facilitates industrial structural low-carbon restructuring. Carbon emission trading pilot policy inhibits energy-intensive industries in the industrial sector significantly, which promotes industrial structure low-carbon restructuring. Therefore, policymakers need to develop a nationwide carbon emission trading market that includes more industries to guide production factors to industrial sectors with high carbon productivity for industrial restructuring and dual carbon goals.

This study uses panel data from 281 cities in China during the period 2004-2016 and the two-regime spatial Durbin model to investigate the strategic interactions of environmental regulation efficiency loss between cities. It adopts the spatial lag of X model and the mediating effect model to analyze the effect and mechanisms of environmental regulation efficiency loss on inclusive growth. The results show that there are asymmetric strategic interactions in the form of imitative competition and upward competition between geographically neighboring cities, which exacerbates the environmental regulation efficiency loss. The environmental regulation efficiency loss of local and neighboring cities inhibits inclusive growth at both the national and regional levels. At the regional level, the local and neighbor effects are the strongest in the central and western regions. The results also show that the inhibition of the neighbor effect is more obvious within 500 km and is relatively stable after 2007. Revenue decentralization, fiscal autonomy, and promotion pressure have a partial mediating effect, which may be important channels for the environmental regulation efficiency loss to restrain inclusive growth. However, expenditure decentralization plays a masking effect, which mitigates the inhibition of the environmental regulation efficiency loss on inclusive growth. In addition, the robustness test of the informal environmental regulation efficiency loss supports the conclusions of the formal environmental regulation efficiency loss. Moreover, the inhibitions of the two are similar at the national level but are different at the regional level. This study therefore suggests that policymakers should adopt a series of measures to improve environmental regulation efficiency, in addition to increasing environmental regulation intensity.

Extreme climate events can cause large risks to ecosystems and human society in a short period. Investigating the changing trends of such events is essential for regional climate risk management. However, there is limited information on the regional assessment of the history and future trends of extreme climate events in Xinjiang, China. This study investigated the historical changes and projected trends of extreme climate events in Xinjiang based on observational data and Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6 (CMIP6) model simulations. The results showed that the bias correction effectively reduced the bias of the CMIP6 model to the extreme climate indices simulation. During the period 1961–2014, the extreme indices representing warmth showed robust growth, while the extreme indices representing cold showed a robust decline. The intensity and frequency indices of extreme precipitation continued to increase, while consecutive dry days (CDDs) shortened and consecutive wet days (CWDs) lengthened. The changing trend of the extreme temperature indices had strong spatial consistency, while the changing trend of the extreme precipitation indices had obvious spatial heterogeneity. Based on the CMIP6 model simulations, the extreme climate indices in the twenty-first century were projected to continue the changing trend of the historical period (1961–2014). Compared with north Xinjiang (NXJ) and south Xinjiang (SXJ), the cold spell duration index (CSDI), cold nights (TN10p), cold days (TX10p), and extreme precipitation events in the Tianshan Mountains (TSM) were projected to experience stronger changes in the twenty-first century. The response of extreme temperature and extreme precipitation indices to global warming was approximately linear. Compared with SSP585, most extreme climate indices under the SSP245 scenario changed slightly in response to global warming. The superposition of the increase (decrease) in extreme warm (cold) events and the increase in extreme precipitation events will exacerbate the threat of extreme climate events to the agricultural and ecological security of the Xinjiang oasis, especially in the TSM. Given the limited water vapor sources and precipitation and the high rate of evapotranspiration, it is projected that the current situation of water shortages in Xinjiang will not be fundamentally changed.

Based on the panel data of 46 countries in “Belt and Road” (B&R) from 2004 to 2016, this paper studies the impact of innovation investment and institutional quality on green total factor productivity (GTFP). Firstly, the ICRG database, World Bank WDI database, Traditional Foundation database, and Wind database are matched to obtain the balanced panel data of 46 countries along the B&R from 2004 to 2016. Secondly, the Malmquist-Luenberger index, which can be included in the unexpected output, is used to calculate the GTFP of countries along B&R. Thirdly, the evaluation system of national institutional quality of B&R is constructed from three dimensions (political institutional quality, economic institutional quality, and legal institutional quality), and the overall system quality of different countries is measured by entropy method. Finally, an empirical study is made on the relationship among innovation investment, institutional quality, and green total factor productivity. The results show that innovation investment has significantly promoted the GTFP of the B&R countries. It is worth noting that there is a non-linear relationship between innovation investment and GTFP in the B&R countries. With the improvement of overall system quality, political system quality, economic system quality, and legal system quality, the promotion effect of innovation investment on GTFP is further enhanced. In addition, the heterogeneity regression results show that the impact of innovation investment on GTFP is significantly heterogeneous in different regions of the B&R countries. Specifically, innovation investment has the greatest impact on GTFP in South Asia, followed by East Asia and Pacific, Europe and Central Asia, Middle East, and North Africa.

The data space for audio signals is large, the correlation is strong, and the traditional encryption algorithm cannot meet the needs of efficiency and safety. To solve this problem, an audio encryption algorithm based on Chen memristor chaotic system is proposed. The core idea of the algorithm is to encrypt the audio signal into the color image information. Most of the traditional audio encryption algorithms are transmitted in the form of noise, which makes it easy to attract the attention of attackers. In this paper, a special encryption method is used to obtain higher security. Firstly, the Fast Walsh–Hadamar Transform (FWHT) is used to compress and denoise the signal. Different from the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), FWHT has good energy compression characteristics. In addition, compared with that of the triangular basis function of the Fast Fourier Transform, the rectangular basis function of the FWHT can be more effectively implemented in the digital circuit to transform the reconstructed dual-channel audio signal into the R and B layers of the digital image matrix, respectively. Furthermore, a new Chen memristor chaotic system solves the periodic window problems, such as the limited chaos range and nonuniform distribution. It can generate a mask block with high complexity and fill it into the G layer of the color image matrix to obtain a color audio image. In the next place, combining plaintext information with color audio images, interactive channel shuffling can not only weaken the correlation between adjacent samples, but also effectively resist selective plaintext attacks. Finally, the cryptographic block is used for overlapping diffusion encryption to fill the silence period of the speech signal, so as to obtain the ciphertext audio. Experimental results and comparative analysis show that the algorithm is suitable for different types of audio signals, and can resist many common cryptographic analysis attacks. Compared with that of similar audio encryption algorithms, the security index of the algorithm is better, and the efficiency of the algorithm is greatly improved.

In natural environments, tomato leaf disease detection faces many challenges, such as variations in light conditions, overlapping disease symptoms, tiny size of lesion areas, and occlusion between leaves. Therefore, an improved tomato leaf disease detection method, DM-YOLO, based on the YOLOv9 algorithm, is proposed in this paper. Specifically, firstly, lightweight dynamic up-sampling DySample is incorporated into the feature fusion backbone network to enhance the ability to extract features of small lesions and suppress the interference from the background environment; secondly, the MPDIoU loss function is used to enhance the learning of the details of overlapping lesion margins in order to improve the accuracy of localizing overlapping lesion margins. The experimental results show that the precision (P) of this model increased by 2.2%, 1.7%, 2.3%, 2%, and 2.1%compared with those of multiple mainstream improved models, respectively. When evaluated based on the tomato leaf disease dataset, the precision (P) of the model was 92.5%, and the average precision (AP) and the mean average precision (mAP) were 95.1% and 86.4%, respectively, which were 3%, 1.7%, and 1.4% higher than the P, AP, and mAP of YOLOv9, the baseline model, respectively. The proposed detection method had good detection performance and detection potential, which will provide strong support for the development of smart agriculture and disease control.

Motivating manufacturers to reduce carbon emissions is an effective way to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs). However, the carbon-constrained manufacturers are under pressure to consider market uncertainty, consumer’s green behavior, and supply chain cooperation when optimizing strategies under government regulations. Therefore, we deserve a detailed theoretical examination of cap-and-trade policy with supply chain cooperative contracts, depict uncertain demand by the newsvendor model, and optimize the emission reduction, order quantity, and pricing strategies in three cooperative cases: wholesale price, cost-sharing, and collaborative contract. Moreover, we analyze the effects of carbon regulations on the optimal decisions and profits, then conduct a comparative study on these results under three cooperative contracts. Our findings show that the manufacturer will purchase more emission rights rather than invest in reduction when the government-given carbon quotas decrease. Besides, the cost-sharing contract promotes greener production and higher reduction level compared to the wholesale price contract, but damages the manufacturer’s profit as the cost-sharing ratio and green preference rise. In this case, the government should increase the emission quotas and meanwhile enhance consumer’s green awareness based on a substantial growth of potential market. Furthermore, to improve the positive effect of cost-sharing contract on emission reduction levels, the government should increase carbon quotas when the carbon trading price fluctuates in a relatively higher range.

We establish a long-term dynamic Stackelberg game model based on dual-channel retailing, taking into account the manufacturer’s dynamic quality decision-making. The model involves a manufacturer who has a self-built online platform and a retailer, and the complex characteristics of the system when the manufacturer makes dynamic quality decision-making are explored. We further analyze the supply chain system by exploring the stable region, global bifurcation and multistability of the dynamic system, the bifurcation diagrams, 3D-profit diagrams, and consumer utility. The conclusions are as follows: (1) There are local steady and multisteady states in the dynamic system, and the adjustment parameters of all decision variables should be kept within an appropriate range to figure out the dynamic evolutionary orbits and reduce the uncertainty. (2) The development of the supply chain is hampered by excessive channel rivalry. (3) The market-dominant manufacturer must strike a balance between product quality and the self-built online platform’s business focus. (4) While a chaotic condition of the system might lead to greater efficiency for supply chain participants, major disruptions to supply chain operations can also result from market uncertainty. (5) The chaotic behavior can be effectively controlled using the delay feedback control method.

Urban green development is crucial for citizen well-being and serves as a key pillar of sustainable development strategies. Collaborative governance mechanisms help address management, technical, and financial challenges in urban green development. The renovation of old residential communities within the context of urban renewal is becoming a focal point in the development of Chinese cities. To promote green development in the renovation of old residential communities in China, this study introduces the collaborative governance mechanism of government–social capital cooperation and identifies the factors influencing social capital participation in green development. A hybrid approach is proposed, combining grounded theory, IGAHP subjective weighting, CRITIC objective weighting, game theory, and ISM. This approach is applied to identify, evaluate, and analyze the factors driving social capital participation in the green renovation of old residential communities. The results indicate that government incentives and constraints, policy support, the costs and benefits of implementing green renovation, the development of green renovation technologies, and construction technical abilities significantly influence the decision-making of social capital. The findings provide theoretical support for decision-making by governments and social capital in participating in the green renovation of old residential communities and offer a methodological reference for analyzing social capital participation in other urban green development projects and for further policy formulation. Future research should focus on examining social capital involvement in other types of urban green development projects.

Driving the coexistence of manufacturing and producer services by enhancing the synergistic effect of innovation and domestic demand has important practical significance for China in building a new development paradigm with domestic circulation as the mainstay and dual circulation as a complement. Based on the time-series input–output tables and using data from China’s A-share listed companies from 2007 to 2022, this paper selects manufacturing and producer services as research objects to empirically test the driving role of innovation, domestic demand, and their synergy in the co-development of these two industries. The results indicate that innovation, domestic demand, and their synergy positively drive the coexistence and development of the two industries. After addressing endogeneity issues and conducting multiple robustness checks, the results remain robust. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that the synergistic effect of innovation and domestic demand on the coexistence of manufacturing and producer services is more pronounced in emerging enterprises, high-tech enterprises, small-sized enterprises, highly competitive enterprises, and enterprises with a high labor income share. This study provides reliable empirical evidence for the coordinated development of enterprise innovation and domestic demand, as well as its economic consequences. They have practical significance for China in forming an industrial symbiosis model, promoting the development of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and breaking the low-end lock-in in the value chain.

Although it promotes national economic development, urbanization causes regional ecosystems to suffer from disturbances and impacts that cannot be completely avoided. Ecosystems urgently need to improve their resilience; however, existing studies lack an analysis of the interaction between urbanization and ecological resilience. In this study, the interaction between urbanization and ecological resilience is investigated, taking the urban agglomeration on the north slope of Tianshan Mountain (UANST) as a study area and using the entropy value method to construct an urbanization evaluation system. Based on land use change data, an ecological resilience evaluation model is constructed using the InVSET model, the landscape pattern index, and the unit area value equivalent factor method. The degree of coupling and coordination of the interaction coupling between urbanization and ecological resilience are measured for the years 1990–2020, and their internal action mechanisms are analyzed. The results show that (1) with the development of urbanization, ecological resilience shows a decreasing and then increasing double “U”-shaped change characteristic. (2) The coupling degree of urbanization and ecological resilience in the UANST increased from 0.6888 to 0.9485, and the coordination degree increased from 0.3367 to 0.4410. (3) There are three types of coupling coordination: basic coordination, basic dysfunction, and serious dysfunction. Basic coordination is mainly distributed in the central part of the urban agglomeration, and basic dysfunction and serious dysfunction are mainly concentrated on the east and west sides; the overall trend is to shift from dysfunction to coordination. (4) Economic urbanization plays a driving role, and population urbanization, spatial urbanization, and social urbanization have an inhibitory role in the degree of coupling coordination; base quality and structural stability have a driving role in the degree of coupling coordination, while ecological services have an inhibitory role; and the population density, the proportion of built-up area to the total land area of the city, and the value of ecosystem services have a stronger influence on the level of coupling coordination.

Dialects represent significant cultural factors and play an essential role in sustainable cultural development. Therefore, identifying and addressing the negative impacts of dialects is necessary for promoting cultural sustainability. Guided by the sensory marketing theory, this study targeted young tourists and conducted an empirical study. The study aimed to explore the impact of destination dialect perceptions on tourists’ emotions and behaviors. The results indicated that their dialect perceptions influence tourists’ recommendations and feedback behaviors. Exclusive perceptions and negative emotions were found to negatively affect tourists’ recommendations and feedback behaviors, acting as sequential mediators between destination dialect perceptions and tourists’ recommendations and feedback behaviors. This study extends the theoretical framework on destination dialect perceptions and provides practical insights for managers seeking to enhance destination development.

Using the digital service trade data of RCEP member countries from 2006 to 2021, this study analyzes the structural characteristics and network centrality of the overall and segmented industry trade networks, applying social network analysis based on social network theory. The results show that the overall and segmented industry trade networks of RCEP member countries have exhibited a gradual increase in network structure stability, accompanied by the emergence of pronounced ‘small-world’ characteristics; Singapore and Japan are at the center of the network. Moreover, the quadratic assignment procedure (QAP) model is applied to explore the factors affecting networks based on digital service trade data in 2006 and 2021. We established that institutional distance and geographic distance act as impediments to the development of trade in digital services in RCEP member countries; conversely, common language facilitates its development. For two countries with more similar levels of economic development, it is easier to establish trade links and increase trade value in sectors such as insurance and pension services, and it is also easier to establish trade links in industries such as communication, computer, and information (ICT) services, but the effect on trade value is not significant. For two countries with more similar levels of digital infrastructure, it is easier to establish trade links and increase trade value in industries such as financial service, and it is also easier to establish trade links in industries such as insurance and pension services, but the effect on trade value is not significant. In response to this study’s results, we propose five recommendations to enhance the development of China’s digital service trade.

As the issue of global climate change becomes increasingly prominent, the grassland ecosystems in Central Asia are facing severe challenges posed by the impacts of climate change. However, the dominant factors, impact pathways, and cumulative and time-lagged effects of climate factors on various grassland indices remain to be explored. This study selected data from 1988 to 2019, including Fractional Vegetation Cover (FVC), Leaf Area Index (LAI), Net Primary Productivity (NPP), and Vegetation Optical Depth (VOD), to characterize grassland coverage, greenness, biomass accumulation, and water content features. Utilizing multiple linear regression, path analysis, and correlation analysis, this study investigated the dominant effects, direct impacts, indirect influences, and cumulative and time-lagged effects of climate factors on various grassland indices from spatial and climatic zone perspectives. The research findings indicate that over time, the grassland FVC and NPP exhibited increasing trends, while the LAI and VOD showed decreasing trends. Grassland indices are primarily influenced by precipitation and soil moisture (SM). The direct impact of SM on grassland indices was higher than precipitation. Vapour pressure deficit (VPD) has a direct negative impact on grassland indices. Grassland indices are subject to positive indirect effects from precipitation via SM and negative indirect effects from VPD via SM. Precipitation and SM mainly exhibited no cumulative and time-lagged effects on the impact of grassland VOD. VPD primarily demonstrated cumulative and time-lagged effects on grassland indices. The research findings offer valuable insights for conserving grassland ecosystems in Central Asia, as well as for shaping socioeconomic strategies and formulating climate policies.

In the context of global warming, vegetation changes exhibit various patterns, yet previous studies have focused primarily on monotonic changes, often overlooking the complexity and diversity of multiple change processes. Therefore, it is crucial to further explore vegetation dynamics and diverse change trajectories in this region under future climate scenarios to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of local ecosystem evolution. In this study, we established an integrated machine learning prediction framework and a vegetation change trajectory recognition framework to predict the dynamics of vegetation in Central Asia under future climate change scenarios and identify its change trajectories, thus revealing the potential impacts of future climate change on vegetation in the region. The findings suggest that various future climate scenarios will negatively affect most vegetation in Central Asia, with vegetation change intensity increasing with increasing emission trajectories. Analyses of different time scales and trend variations consistently revealed more pronounced downward trends. Vegetation change trajectory analysis revealed that most vegetation has undergone nonlinear and dramatic changes, with negative changes outnumbering positive changes and curve changes outnumbering abrupt changes. Under the highest emission scenario (SSP5-8.5), the abrupt vegetation changes and curve changes are 1.7 times and 1.3 times greater, respectively, than those under the SSP1-2.6 scenario. When transitioning from lower emission pathways (SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5) to higher emission pathways (SSP3-7.0, SSP5-8.5), the vegetation change trajectories shift from neutral and negative curve changes to abrupt negative changes. Across climate scenarios, the key climate factors influencing vegetation changes are mostly evapotranspiration and soil moisture, with temperature and relative humidity exerting relatively minor effects. Our study reveals the negative response of vegetation in Central Asia to climate change from the perspective of vegetation dynamics and change trajectories, providing a scientific basis for the development of effective ecological protection and climate adaptation strategies.

In recent years, China has placed significant emphasis on sustainable economic and social development, actively implementing the concept of green development. In 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed that all regions should actively develop new-quality productivity, signifying a deepening of green and sustainable development principles. As an internationally recognized indicator for measuring corporate sustainability, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria may influence the enhancement of new-quality productivity across regions, particularly in relation to green new quality productivity. This paper investigates the effects of corporate ESG performance on the levels of green and new-quality productivity using data from China’s A-share listed companies from 2013 to 2022. The findings reveal the following: (1) corporate ESG performance significantly enhances the level of green new quality productivity; (2) mechanism tests indicate that corporate ESG performance enhances green new quality productivity by promoting firms’ green innovation; and (3) further analysis shows that the effect of ESG performance on green new quality productivity is more pronounced in firms with low levels of financing constraints, high media attention, and elevated green awareness among executives. These findings provide empirical evidence for strengthening corporate ESG performance, promoting green innovation, elevating regional levels of green and new-quality productivity, and advancing sustainable development, thereby offering valuable insights for developing countries.
