Purpose This paper aims to propose a conceptual model of policy components for software that supports modularizing and tailoring of information security policies (ISPs). Design/methodology/approach This study used a design science research approach, drawing on design knowledge from the field of...

Epidemics, such as COVID-19, have serious consequences globally, of which the most effective way to control the infection is contact tracing. Nowadays, research releated to privacy-preserving epidemic infection control for has been conducted, nevertheless, current researches do not regard the...

With the rapid development of China’s economy, the problem of environmental pollution has become increasingly serious. Given that China’s current environmental quality threatens its long-term sustainable economic development, certain attention must be paid to curb environmental pollution in...

Despite a spectacular expansion of the higher education sector in Sub-Saharan Africa, the supply of tertiary education has generally failed to keep pace with demand and the region continues to lag all other regions in terms of access to tertiary education. This is in part a consequence of deeply...

The Chinese government aims to use environmental policy measures to improve society's overall green total factor productivity (GTFP) and create a new development pattern in which the economy and the environment are equally important. Based on the perspective of indirect financing, this study...

In this paper, we experimentally evaluate the zero-shot performance of a preliminary version of GPT-4 against prior generations of GPT on the entire Uniform Bar Examination (UBE), including not only the multiple-choice Multistate Bar Examination (MBE), but also the open-ended Multistate Essay...

The net neutrality debate has brought out economic rationale for andagainst a variety of proposals of the broadband service providers todifferentiate between different classes of users. Broadband users arecharacterized by the differing amounts of content they request online,as well as their...

The paper empirically explores how more trade transparency affects market liquidity. The analysis takes advantage of a unique setting in which the Shanghai Stock Exchange offered more trade transparency to market participants subscribing to a new software package. First, the results show that...

We investigate the relevance between quantum open systems and stock markets. A Quantum Brownian motion model is proposed for studying the interaction between the Brownian system and the reservoir, i.e., the stock index and the entire stock market. Based on the model, we investigate the Shanghai...

We investigate the behavior of stocks in daily price-limited stock markets by purposing a quantum spatial-periodic harmonic model. The stock price is presumed to oscillate and damp in a quantum spatial-periodic harmonic oscillator potential well. Complicated non-linear relations including...
