Quantum anonymous one-vote veto protocol based on BB84 states by Runhua SHI, Hui YU, Weiyang KE, Xiaotong XU

“…., most of existing quantum voting protocols need to perform operations and measurements in high-dimensional Hilbert space, a quantum anonymous one-vote veto protocol with a quantum cloud (QAOVC) was designed by using the QSMD protocol.In addition, to decentralize, a quantum anonymous one-vote veto (QAOV) protocol without any third party was presented.Compared with related protocols, the proposed protocols require less quantum resources and simpler operations, so they have better feasibility.Under the semi-honest model, quantum perfect encryption and classical one-time pad can ensure the unconditional security of the proposed protocols, i.e., it can completely meet secure requirements of one-vote veto and perfectly protect the privacy of the voters.Finally, simulation experiments are implemented on IBM Qiskit, and the experimental results show that the protocols are correct and feasible.…”

Coordination Strategy for a New Retail Supply Chain Based on Combination Contract by Shuiwang Zhang, Yu Mei, Qiang Bao, Lingzhi Shao

“…Firstly, the profit function mode of product pricing, platform service level, and logistics distribution level that influence the consumers’ demand is constructed in two modes, namely, the centralized and decentralized decision mode. Then, we calculate and compare the optimal product price, the optimal platform service level, the optimal delivery time, and the profit of each member of the supply chain from both decision modes. …”

Dynamic Analysis of the Rental Prices of Long-Rental Apartments and Ordinary Rental Housing Based on the Impact of Long-Rental Apartment Enterprises’ Competitive Behaviors by Lingling Mu, Xiangyu Qin, Yaoyao Wang

“…The enhanced reference effect of landlords, the improvement of service quality, and the increase of the difference in demand share between the two long-rental apartments help to mitigate the disruption of system stability by the increase of the adjustment factor of the firms. The decentralized long-lease apartment firms, which occupy a higher proportion of the market, are able to exert a major impact on the rent of general rental housing by taking advantage of the market, while the difference in the demand share between the two firms is the main reason for the change in the rent of long-rental apartments.…”

EKOLOGINĖ ETIKA IR SUBJEKTO PROBLEMA by Česlovas Kalenda

“…The objective German idealism of the 19th century overcame the categorical alienation of man from nature, while the philosophy of postmodernism disclosed it as a Western culture’s way of forcing human will upon nature, opening the perspective of subject’s decentration. The socio-ecological need to change man’s relation to nature prompts the following question: is it possible to understand a natural object as a subject? …”
