Based on the data of segmented patents and digital transformation of A-share listed companies from 2011 to 2021, the quantity and the quality of authorized patents are used to measure the level of groundbreaking innovation of enterprises, and the impact of digital transformation on groundbreaking innovation and its internal mechanism is empirically tested through the instrumental variable method and the time-varying DID (Difference-in-Differences) model. The study reveals that the digital transformation significantly promotes the level of groundbreaking innovation of enterprises, and the effect is more obvious in private enterprises, capital-intensive enterprises, enterprises in southern and coastal areas, high-tech industries and high-competitive industries. The mechanism analysis shows that the enhancement of groundbreaking innovation capability of enterprises is mainly caused by the optimization of the structure of labor force, the increase in R&D intensity and total factor productivity brought about by enterprises’ digital transformation. Further, it is found that smart city pilots promote the digital transformation and the improvement of groundbreaking innovation level of enterprises. Based on the quality of patents, it is found that there is a significant “U-shaped” relationship between digital transformation and groundbreaking innovation quality of enterprises. The above conclusions provide important empirical evidence and policy enlightenment for enterprises to accelerate the digital transformation and obtain groundbreaking innovation.

 The CPC Central Committee’s decision to reach peak carbon emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060 not only concerns a community with a shared future for mankind, but also, to some extent, adjusts the developing mode of China’s economy in the future. In the process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, low-carbon economy and digital economy are integrated, and low-carbon transformation and digital transformation complement each other. Therefore, the low-carbon city pilot policy from 2010 is taken as a “quasi-natural experiment”. Based on the micro-data of listed manufacturing enterprises from 2008 to 2020, the multi-time point DID (difference in differences) model is used to explore the influence of the policy on enterprises’ attention to digital transformation and its mechanism. The research shows that the low-carbon city pilot policy significantly improves enterprises’ attention to digital transformation; Enterprises located in pilot low-carbon cities pay 8.5% more attention to digital transformation than those not located in pilot low-carbon cities. This policy increases the attention of enterprises’ digital transformation through two mechanisms: risk at the enterprise level and enterprise output. In the heterogeneity analysis, the influence of this policy on the attention to enterprises’ digital transformation is significantly different among enterprises with different ownership and different ages. This paper provides an important empirical test for China’s listed manufacturing industry that should increase its attention to enterprises’ digital transformation in the low-carbon transformation, provides further research on the digital effect of policy effects, and lays a solid foundation for research on the cross-prospect of low-carbon and digitalization in the future.

Web crawler is an emerging Internet technology used to automatically search and crawl the specified network information according to the order, but there is a risk of being abused. Web crawler is a tool of crawling network copyright data information, and copyright infringement by web crawling behaviors happens frequently. At present, regulations for copyright infringement by web crawling behaviors are always found in civil laws and criminal laws, while administrative regulations are ignored. Current administrative regulations for copyright infringement by web crawling behaviors have problems that they rely too much on judicial means, and lack norms and online supervision made by administrative organizations. All these hinder the application and development of administrative regulations for copyright infringement by web crawling behaviors. In this regard, administrative means should be used to restrain copyright infringement by web crawling behaviors and protect the legal interests of copyright owners through building a full-coverage warning system, improving the copyright management, and setting up self-regulatory obligations for web crawler users, etc.

After National Press and Publication Administration began to supervise online games, although the department implemented the first administrative punishment for violating the anti-addiction management regulation in 2021, the gap of online games supervision has not been completely filled. From the perspective of the impact of games on survival, entertainment and capital, cyber-human and their cyber behaviors have been completely digitized, and cyber-human’s body and mind have completely left the digital game, only becoming a symbol of capital value added. Although the “Internet Information Service Algorithm Recommendations Management Regulations” has defined “inducing users to indulge in games and over-consume” to a certain extent, the effect of regulation is not obvious. The regulations also face the argument of cyber-human’s free will to choose indulgence, and the difficulty in balancing the huge social value with personal value of online games. The overall regulation has become a trend, so it is advisable to establish a standard for Internet addiction disorder based on the laws, in order to lay a foundation for declaring tort liability for online addiction, and to actively establish a public interest litigation mechanism, improve algorithm administrative ability and detail the supervision models for algorithm.

Using the stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) model in relationship marketing and Hovland’s attitude change-persuasion model, a comprehensive conceptual framework which combines three kinds of relational bonds, ambivalent attitudes, purchase intention and types of new product improved attributes is built and tested. Based on 490 valid questionnaires from social networking site, AMOS26.0 and SPSS26.0 are adopted to evaluate the measurement model and the structural model. The empirical results show that the three kinds of relational bonds directly and indirectly affect consumers’ purchase intention through consumers’ final ambivalent attitudes, and the influencing direction and the influencing degree are moderated by consumers’ initial ambivalent attitudes and types of new product improved attributes.

The rapid development of artificial intelligence has promoted the intellectualization in the field of education, and research on the construction of subject knowledge system by using knowledge graphs has emerged. The knowledge system constructed by knowledge graphs can model the correlation among knowledge points and form the course knowledge context, which is helpful for learners to memorize and understand knowledge in a deep level. However, the teaching resources of subject courses are diverse and scattered, and the existing automatic construction methods often use a single data resource with low resource utilization rate, which is difficult to provide guidance for the construction of professional knowledge systems. Moreover, low degree of automation and high cost need different modules to process the unstructured texts and generate the graphs, so reproducibility and portability are weak. Therefore, an optimization process of subject knowledge graph construction is proposed based on the large language model, which highly integrates the advantages of the large language model and the logical correlation of knowledge in various subjects. Specifically, taking the major of communication as an example, the powerful function of a large language model such as ChatGPT is used to design a knowledge system through subject knowledge analysis by using a variety of knowledge sources, so as to automatically extract knowledge entities and knowledge relations based on teaching resources to form a final subject knowledge system, which can also be introduced to other subject fields.
