Review on Blockchain Technology

Blockchain is a technology that has the potential to cause big changes in our corporate environment and will have a significant influence over the next few decades. It has the potential to alter our perception of business operations and revolutionise our economy. Blockchain is a decentralised and distributed ledger system that, since it cannot be tampered with or faked, attempts to assure transparency, data security, and integrity. Only a few studies have looked at the usage of Blockchain Technology in other contexts or sectors, with the majority of current Blockchain Technology research focusing on its use for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Blockchain technology is more than simply bitcoin; it may be used in government, finance and banking, accounting, and business process managementAs a result, the goal of this study is to examine and investigate the advantages and drawbacks of Blockchain Technology for current and future applications. As a consequence, a large number of published studies were thoroughly assessed and analysed based on their contributions to the Blockchain body of knowledge. Keywords: Blockchain Technology, Bitcoin, Cryptocurrency, Digital currency

Dilemma in the Development of Modern Timber Architecture and Its Countermeasures

Under the context that “peak carbon emissions” and “carbon neutrality” are included in the overall plan for the construction of ecological civilization in China, this paper discusses the value of modern timber architecture as a form of low-carbon and environmental protection movement in the whole life cycle of the construction field. It mainly analyzes the reasons for the limited resources, misunderstandings of inherent concepts, the high cost of comprehensive construction, and the shortage of professionals. Based on that, several countermeasures have been proposed, such as perfecting relevant norms and policies, strengthening technology research and development as well as demonstration guidance, moderately developing forest resources, applying digital construction operation and maintenance technology, as well as cultivating compound professionals, all of which provide a reference for the development of ecological benefits in China’s construction industry.

Perspectives for Interdisciplinary Methodological Approaches for Technology Research in Healthcare

In this chapter, the author aim to approach new ways to understand how emerging technologies can better be applied in organizational contexts. For this purpose, collaborative methodological approaches were addressed—multi, inter, and transdisciplinary paradigms—aiming to promote a better level both of comprehension and adoption of technologies, paying special attention to the healthcare sector and to the One Health initiative, just defined as an interdisciplinary front. As an overall goal for the chapter, the adoption of those methodological principles is advised to the reader, enabling a better understanding of those technologies and their way to be effectively implemented.

The Application of Big Data in Modern National Economy and Politics

Big data is a new stage of informatization development. With the convergence and integration of information technology and human production and life, the rapid spread of the Internet, global data showing explosive growth and massive agglomeration, have had a significant impact on economic development, social governance, national management, and people’s lives.Countries around the world regard the promotion of economic digitization as an important driving force for innovation and development, and have made forward-looking layouts in cuttingedge technology research and development, data open sharing, privacy and security protection, and talent training.In-depth understanding of the current situation and trends of big data development, and its impact on economic and social development, analyze the achievements and existing problems of my country’s big data development, summarize and discuss the government’s response strategies, and promote the innovation of government management and social governance models, and realize government decision-making Identification, precise social governance, and efficient public services all have important meanings.

Research on the Calibration Method of Torque Sensor

Remote calibration has the property of real-time and remote location, and can be used to control the calibration method for the calibration instrument. It is an effective method to improve the calibration efficiency. Based on the torque sensor calibration method for research, because the remote calibration technology has complex structure, calibration are not allowed to wait for a characteristic, through the remote technology combined with a torque sensor automatic calibration technology, analyze the torque sensor remote calibration technology research, which not only can improve the traditional calibration technology cycle is long, low efficiency of faults. Remote calibration technology based on the basic methods and characteristics are studied, by using the method of torque meter calibration, according to the characteristics of torque sensor, choose corresponding calibration program and method, which can effectively improve the technical problems in the process of system design and analysis of torque sensor remote calibration method research, in addition, through the analysis of electromagnetic interference technology research, which can restrain the interference is proposed; Finally, the remote calibration technology of the torque sensor is effectively improved through the calibration experiment of the system debugging.

Knowledge Mapping of Green Technology Visualization with Bibliometric Tools

An increasing number of research literature studies about green technology have been accepted by journals of different disciplines due to the rapid technical progress and innovation in all types of industry. This study uses bibliometric tools of CiteSpace and VOSviewer to analyse the key authors’ co-citation network, institution cooperation, the keyword clusters of green technology, and the evolution trend of green technology. We find that since 1960s, the number of research papers with green technology theme has been growing. These papers are mainly involved in fields of economics and business, engineering, and chemistry, in which there exist 13 highest cited papers from 2009 to 2020 based on the Web of Science database. In this study, we find the top 20 journals of green technology with the parameter of literature count and centrality. We find that the cooperation of authors is quite weak with the co-authorship analysis, and we obtain the top 12 institutions in 15 countries dominantly in green technology research through country and institution analysis. We conduct a cluster analysis of keywords related to green technology, and we obtain 10 clusters, with three economical clusters, five engineering clusters, and two chemical clusters. Finally, we summarise green technology with the aid of the timeline view function of CiteSpace system.

Overview of Appropriate Technology Research Organizations in France

The purpose of this paper is to introduce representative appropriate technology research organizations operating in France. Among them, we would like to investigate and introduce five institutions that have acquired a lot of experience due to their long history. Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD) is a government-funded institution that strengthens science and technology infrastructure in Africa and overseas territories with the aim of supporting and educating science communities in developing countries, and conducts collaborative research with more diverse developing countries. Antenna France is an NGO organization whose main activity is to improve malnutrition in Africa. Ingénieurs sans frontiers is an NGO organization that sets sustainable development as the main goal of the association's activities and leads various activities such as education. Terre & Humanism is an NGO organization that practices ecological agriculture and carries out a social change movement urging to respect life and land, and to constitute an alternative society. Humanitarian Design Bureau is a corporation concept company that mainly carries out R&D for environmentally friendly products necessary for NGO activities.
