The relationship between employees’ green behaviors, self-efficacy and work happiness was explored from the perspective of individual employees based on resource conservation theory and self-determination theory. The hypotheses were verified through correlation analysis and regression analysis, etc. on the 196 data collected. The results of empirical analyses show that there is a positive influence relationship between employees’ green behaviors and job happiness. Self-efficacy mediates the relationship between employees’ green behaviors and job happiness, as well as the moderating role of interactional equity in the mechanism. The results enrich the research on the aftereffective variables of employee green behaviors, broaden the research on the mechanism of employee green behaviors affecting employees’ work well-being, and also provide useful insights for corporate practices.

Personal data has become a crucial production factor in the digital economy era. The transportation sector, being a data-intensive industry, contains much personal data. To address current issues of data storage insecurity and difficulties in data circulation and sharing, constructing a new data service model—Personal Data Bank for Transportation was proposed. This bank emulates the operational model of commercial banks, employing blockchain technology and distributed storage solutions to enhance data security and privacy protection. A contribution-based incentive strategy fosters collaboration between users and the data bank, underlining the importance of user participation and the potential benefits for all stakeholders. The Personal Data Bank for Transportation facilitates data storage, viewing and purchase retrieval, thereby achieving data circulation while clarifying ownership issues in data transactions. Its goal is to ensure personal data’s secure and efficient flow and improve the relationship between enterprises and individual data subjects.

The Upper Yellow River City Cluster is the highest form of urban spatial organization in Northwest China, and it is the region with the closest exchange of materials, information and people among the cities in the upper Yellow River. In this paper, the gravity model was optimized and improved in terms of two dimensions, such as the assessment of the comprehensive strength of cities as well as the absolute and relative linkage strength, and the improved gravity model was used to evaluate the characteristics of urban spatial linkages of 10 cities in the Upper Yellow River City Cluster from 2018 to 2021, and to analyze their spatial patterns and evolution. The results show that large cities in the Upper Yellow River City Cluster show more radiation effects, while small cities are more attracted by external cities. With the passage of time, the strength of the connection between cities has been strengthened, gradually forming a spatial pattern of transition from “single nucleus” to “multiple nuclei”, with the spatial layout showing one center, three circles, three nuclei in the shape of V, and the Yellow River becoming an axis and cities being in the same belt, and the spatial pattern of the cities can be classified as follows Three groups, such as Lanzhou City Group, Yinchuan City Group, Xining City Group. There is a big difference in the development of each cluster, and it is urgent to find the development path to realize the differentiated development.

Based on the rainfall duration, intensity and rainfall data of Xiejiagou small watershed from 2014 to 2018, the basic rainfall standard for erosive rainfall in the study area was obtained through the 80% frequency analysis method and statistical methods, and the characteristics of erosive rainfall within a year and between years were analyzed. The research results show that erosive rainfall has an inter-annual fluctuation characteristic, and June is the key month for the prevention of erosive rainfall in the study area. In the erosive rainfall events of heavy rain and heavy rain, high-intensity rainfall(I₃₀≥30 mm/h)is the main driving force for soil erosion. The research results can provide reference basis for protecting ecological environment, predicting and controlling soil and water loss in small watersheds.

There are four configurations for achieving high digital innovation resilience, and according to digital capabilities and environmental dynamics, “SRDI” manufacturing enterprises should choose different digital innovation strategies to enhance resilience and promote high-quality development.

The offshore RMB market is not only an important part of China’s great power, but also a long-term demand for China’s financial opening up and an objective need to promote the internationalization of RMB. However, with the acceleration of RMB internationalization, the development of the RMB offshore market faces obstacles such as the slowdown in domestic economic growth, the decline in the yield of RMB assets, the lack of liquidity in the offshore market, and the high external geopolitical risks. In view of the above problems, on the basis of a comprehensive review of the current situation of RMB internationalization, financial institutions was encouraged to innovate financial products, the share of RMB in trade settlement and the scale of reshoring with RMB treasury bonds as the carrier were expanded, and multilateral cooperation and dialogue mechanisms was strengthened, so as to provide suggestions and suggestions for the healthy development of the RMB offshore market.

In the context of high-quality development, in response to the new requirements of improving the innovation system, can environmental regulation promote the simultaneous improvement of the quantity and quality of green innovation of enterprises? Based on the enterprise level, an index was constructed in this study to describe the intensity of environmental regulation, and the impact of environmental regulation on the quantity and quality of green innovation and the heterogeneous characteristics of environmental regulation through the mediating role of innovation investment was examined. The results show that environmental regulation can significantly promote the quantity of green innovation of enterprises, but the impact on the quality of innovation is not statistically significant, and the conclusion is still valid after the endogenous treatment and robustness test. Enterprise R&D investment and government subsidies play a partial and complete mediating role in the relationship between environmental regulation and the quantity and quality of green innovation of enterprises, respectively. The heterogeneity analysis shows that environmental regulation can affect the number of green innovation in the central region, foreign-funded enterprises and large enterprises. The impact on the quality of green innovation is more pronounced in state-owned enterprises and large enterprises.
