Digital economy-driven export sophistication: mechanisms of market integration and human capital restructuring by Jie Liu, Yexuan Guan, Mengjie Guan, Jingya Yu

“…It is found that the digital economy has a significant positive impact on export upgrading, and the results are robust after both robustness test and endogeneity test; the export upgrading effect of digital economy will weaken with the development of digital economy; the digital economy policy represented by "broadband China" has produced a significant export upgrading effect; the digital economy can drive export upgrading by reducing market segmentation and promoting market integration; the impact of the digital economy on export upgrading has a double-threshold effect with human capital as the threshold variable, which shows that when human capital is in the second threshold range, it is more closely integrated with the digital economy and can better exploit the export upgrading effect of the digital economy; the heterogeneity analysis reveals that the export upgrading effect of digital economy is more significant in central and western regions than in the eastern regions, and the export upgrading effect of digital economy is more significant in regions with higher degree of industrial structure optimization. …”

A Quantitative Exploration of Australian Dog Breeders’ Breeding Goals, Puppy Rearing Practices and Approaches to Socialisation by Jessica K. Dawson, Deanna L. Tepper, Matthew B. Ruby, Tiffani J. Howell, Pauleen C. Bennett

“…The majority of breeders housed their litters within their residence for the initial weeks of life but the socialisation experiences they provided were variable in type and frequency. Longer-term breeders and those with larger, more intensive programs reported providing human-focused socialisation experiences less frequently, though the correlational nature of these findings require cautious interpretation. …”

Beyond the labels: Classifying countries by child health outcomes – A cluster analysis of child mortality and child-health data by Edward Purssell, Sharron Frood, Rohit Sagoo

“…Row and column distances were calculated using the Euclidean distance, and clustering was performed using the complete linkage method. Each variable was centred and scaled using the scale command, allowing variables measured on different scales to be compared without those with large values being weighted more heavily. …”

The influence of foreign, busy board members, and gender diversity on firm bankruptcy by Abdulaziz S. Al Naim, Abdullah A. Aljughaiman, Abdulateif A. Almulhim, Abdulmohsen K. Alosaimi

“…We employ OLS and Tobit as our main estimation models due to the unique nature of our dependent variable. Our findings reveal a positive and significant relationship between the percentage of female board members, board busyness, board independence, board size, and the Altman Z-score, indicating that larger boards with more female, busy, and independent members have a lower bankruptcy risk. …”

Refractoriness in sustained visuo-manual control: is the refractory duration intrinsic or does it depend on external system properties? by Cornelis van de Kamp, Peter J Gawthrop, Henrik Gollee, Ian D Loram

“…In the presence of time varying actuators, systems and constraints, we propose that central refractoriness is an appropriate control mechanism for accommodating online optimization delays within the neural circuitry including the more variable processing times of higher order (complex) input-output relations.…”
