Green innovation has become an important combination of high-quality economic growth and sustainable development of ecological environment. In this paper, the super-efficiency network SBM model is used to measure the two-stage green innovation efficiency of industrial science and technology R&D and achievement transformation in 30 provinces and cities from 2009 to 2019, and exploratory Data Analysis (ESDA) and spatial econometric model are used to investigate the spatial-temporal evolution characteristics and influencing factors of green innovation efficiency. The results show that: firstly, the overall efficiency of industrial green innovation is low, and the efficiency of scientific research and development and achievement transformation has experienced three stages of "upward-declining-revitalized period". The low efficiency of achievement transformation is an important factor hiding the improvement of the efficiency of industrial green innovation. Secondly, The industrial green innovation efficiency gradually increases from northwest to southeast, forming a centralized "line" and "block" distribution. The high efficiency area is still concentrated in the eastern coastal region, and the balanced development trend is obvious in the central and western regions. Finally, openness has a positive impact on the two-stage green innovation efficiency; Industrial structure and government investment in science and technology have a positive impact on the efficiency of science and technology research and development, but have no significant effect on the efficiency of achievement transformation. Enterprise size has a positive effect on achievement transformation efficiency, but has no significant effect on R&D efficiency. Environmental regulation has a positive impact on R&D efficiency and a negative impact on achievement transformation efficiency.

Green innovation has become an important combination of high-quality economic growth and ecological sustainability. In this paper, the super-efficiency network SBM model was used to measure the two-stage green innovation efficiency of the industrial technology research and development (R&D) stage and achievement transformation stage in China (30 provinces and cities) from 2009 to 2019. The results show the following points. Firstly, in terms of temporal series, the efficiency of technology R&D and achievement transformation has experienced three stages of “upward-declining-revitalized period”. Secondly, in terms of spatial trend, the industrial green innovation efficiency gradually increases from northwest to southeast. The high-efficiency areas are still concentrated in the eastern coastal region, with a clear trend towards balanced development in the central and western regions. Finally, openness, industrial structure, government technical expenditures, enterprise scale, and environmental regulation all have different degrees of impact on the efficiency of green innovation in the two stages. Based on the above, this paper is helpful for the government to formulate laws and regulations and coordinate the level of regional economic development and clarify the spatio-temporal characteristics and influencing factors of the efficiency of green innovation.

This article aims to promote the high-quality development of the Great Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan City Group and improve the green innovation efficiency of urban agglomeration. This article takes green innovation in networked urban agglomerations as its research subject. Furthermore, it analyzes the impact of network structure characteristics such as network scale and network structure hole on green innovation in urban agglomerations. Moreover, this study uses the unexpected output SBM model to measure green innovation efficiency of the eight prefecture-level cities in the Great Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan City Group from 2012 to 2018 and analyzes its influencing factors using the panel Tobit model. The results show that the overall green innovation efficiency of the Great Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan City Group is stable. The distribution of urban green innovation efficiency in the region is characterized by urban gradient and mid-stream drive. In the process of networked innovation, economic development, which has a positive impact on green innovation, promotes the overall effectiveness of the network structure. The low efficiency of urban educational resources, which has a negative impact on green innovation, leads to the redundancy of a network scale. The unapparent advantage of industrial structures, which have a negative impact on the development of green innovation, leads to the insufficient depth and breadth of network openness. Lastly, government support and the level of infrastructure have no impact on green innovation.

The development of science, technology and information (science and technology) is very fast and globalization nowadays occur positive and negative impacts on people's lives, both individual and social life. The positive impact of the development of science and technology and the globalization of the labor market is opening opportunities in accordance with the needs of society and the state. While the negative impact is the changing values and norms of life that is often in contradiction with the norms and values of life that has existed in the community. In this context, education, especially primary education, plays a very important to preserve and protect the norms and positive life values that already exist in the society of a country from the negative effects of science and technology development and globalization. The education process is right and quality provided supplies and power to maintain the "identity" of the negative effects of globalization, not only for the interests of individual learners, but also for the benefit of society and the state. National policy development of the noble character education into the national education system is a strategic effort to equip future generations with the noble character of the nation as the identity of Indonesia in global competition. With the character education that is applied systematically and sustainably, a child will be emotionally intelligent. Emotional intelligence is important provision in preparing children to meet the future, because someone will be more easily and successfully face all kinds of life challenges, including the challenge to succeed academically.

Nowadays, small- and medium-sized enterprises play crucial roles in both developed and developing countries. They create new employment, fulfill the market gap, contribute to Gross Domestic Product and boost the whole economy. However, small- and medium-sized enterprises face more financial constraints than large enterprises, which prevent them from growing and expanding their activities. This paper aims to investigate how the innovation of small- and medium-sized enterprises impacts on credit accessibility in Vietnam from 2005 to 2015, through five aspects of innovation: new products, new technology, improved existing products, research and development investment, and machine innovation. The data set consists of more than 4500 observations of small- and medium-sized enterprises in Vietnam. This data set is taken from a survey conducted within the framework of cooperation among UNU-WIDER, the University of Copenhagen and Vietnamese government agencies. Using panel regression model, we found out that three out of five innovation factors significantly impact on credit accessibility. More specifically, research and development investment and new product have negative impact on credit accessibility; whereas new technology has positive impact on credit accessibility. These findings are useful for firm managers, banks and policy makers to help small- and medium-sized enterprises overcome financial constraints through innovation aspects.

Since the 1990s, the notion of a circular economy has been developing globally; countries all over the world have been considering the development of a circular economy as an important means of achieving sustainable development. As the development of an industrial circular economy can help promote the efficient recycling of resources, it is an important starting point for industrial transformation and upgrading, and represents a key factor that will lead to the development of a circular economy in China. China’s varying provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) have successively implemented circular economy practices in the industrial field. The research object of the present study is 30 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the control of central government (Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and Tibet were not included owing to lack of data). Through the integration of geographic information systems (GIS) technology and the spatial analysis model, data envelopment analysis (DEA) model, and Tobit regression model, a measure model and index system are constructed, in order to carry out a multi-angle comprehensive study integrating the efficiency evaluation, spatial analysis, and influencing factors analysis of China’s industrial circular economy. It is an important innovation, and an important contribution to the existing research system. The conclusions are as follows: (1) In general, the overall level of China’s industrial circular economy’s efficiency was not high, and there was still a lot of room for improvement. The integrated efficiency of the industrial circular economy in the eastern region was relatively high, followed by that in the western region, and the lowest level in the middle region. (2) The efficiency of China’s industrial circular economy displayed obvious spatial aggregation characteristics at the provincial level, including clear spatial dependence and spatial heterogeneity. High-value aggregation areas were mainly distributed in the eastern coastal areas, and low-value aggregation areas were concentrated and contiguously distributed in the middle and western inland areas. (3) The four elements of economic level, openness to the outside, government regulation, and industrialization aggregation each impose a significant positive impact on the efficiency of China’s industrial circular economy, which can promote its efficiency. The level of industrialization exerts a significant negative impact on the efficiency of the industrial circular economy, which hampers its improvement. The impact of technological innovation on the efficiency of the industrial circular economy is not statistically significant.

Abstract Background: Sub-health status (SHS) is an intermediate status between health and disease. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of sub-health status among college students during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and analyze its influencing factors in order to provide basic information to increase the health level of college students. Methods: College students were selected as subjects from Guangzhou Baiyun Technician College Business using convenience sampling. The inclusion criteria was informed consent, current college students who voluntarily participated in this survey. Exclusion criteria were students with chronic diseases or mental disorders. General data questionnaire, daily lifestyle questionnaire, and SHS measurement scale were used to survey college students. The SHS measurement scale consists of three subscales covering the physiological (1-14 items), psychological (16-27 items), and social (29-37 items) dimensions, with 39 items in total. The items 15, 28, 38 and 39 were used for the overall evaluation of the health status within each dimension and would not be taken into account for the score rating. A commonly used 5-point Likert scale was developed to incorporate the positive items, including questions 1-3, 13-19, and 26-39 with a scaled score equal to the raw score at 1-5; while negative items including questions 4-12 and 20-25 with a scaled score equal to 6 minus the raw score. For each subscale, the sum of all item scores was the raw score. The total raw score was calculated as the sum of raw scores derived from all 3 sub-scales. For any individual dimension, a lower score indicated higher severity of SHS. For sub-scales and the whole scale, raw scores were converted into percentile scores for statistical analysis. Converted score = (raw score - minimum theoretical score) / (maximum theoretical score – minimum theoretical score) × 100. The highest and lowest converted scores of the three subscales were 0 and 100 respectively. In this study, analysis of sub-health was performed using converted scores for all subscales and the whole scale. Based on the sub-health measurement scale, the health condition of subjects would be assessed as disease status (scored < 54), SHS (scored 54 to 79) and health status. From March 6 to 16, 2020, an online survey was conducted via wjx.cn (an online platform available for questionnaire sources). A total of 16,163 students filled out the questionnaire. Results: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the detected prevalence of sub-health among college students was 64.4%.the total SHS score was 73.356 ± 11.115 points, the physiological SHS score was 81.284 ± 11.034 points, the psychological SHS score was 68.691 ± 12.559 points, and the social SHS score was 67.242 ± 17.112 points. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that eating irregular meals, exercising fewer times per week, sleeping fewer hours per night, sleeping after 11 PM more often, spending more time on electronic devices, exercising for fewer minutes each time, and skipping breakfast had the significant negative impact on the SHS scores of college students during the COVID-19 pandemic (P<0.05), while being the only child had a significant positive impact on the SHS scores of college students during the COVID-19 pandemic (P<0.05). Conclusions: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the detected prevalence of sub-health was high among college students. Society and schools should pay more attention to the health of college students during the COVID-19 pandemic and take pertinence action to solve the problem base on influencing factors.

This study offers a RAGA-PP-SFA model to measure green technology’s innovation efficiency in the high-end manufacturing industry. The study’s aim is to solve the shortcomings of traditional SFA methods that are unable to improve multi-output efficiency. The RAGA-PP-SFA model presented here is based on the multi-emission and multi-output characteristics of high-end manufacturing innovation activities. Using panel data from 2010 to 2015 on China's high-end manufacturing industry and considering factors such as environmental regulation, government subsidy, and market maturity, this paper empirically examines and compares the efficiency of green technology innovation versus traditional technology innovation, as well as regional heterogeneity in China's high-end manufacturing industry. The study ultimately found a low level of green technology innovation efficiency in China’s high-end manufacturing industry. However, an overall rising trend shows that the green development of China's high-end manufacturing industry has achieved remarkable results. Green technology innovation efficiency in high-end manufacturing industries across various regions was generally lower than the efficiency of traditional technology innovation. Both types of efficiency showed a pattern of “high in the east and low in the middle and in the west”. High-high efficiency is primarily found in the east, whereas the west is characterized by low-low efficiency. There are significant differences between regions, pointing to an equal rate of development. Government subsidies and enterprise scale had a significant negative impact on green technology innovation efficiency in regional high-end manufacturing industries, while market maturity and industrial agglomeration had a significant positive impact. Based on the study’s findings, environmental regulation and openness to the outside world play insignificant roles in green technology innovation efficiency.
