The Influence Mechanism and Spatial Spillover Effect of Digital Economy on Urban-Rural Integrated Development: An Empirical Analysis based on Provincial Panel Data

Vol. 6, No. 8, pp. 1-8, 2026 DOI: 10.54691/zjf2qw94 August 25, 2026
Abstract.The unbalanced urban-rural development remains a key bottleneck restricting China’s realization of common prosperity, while the vigorous development of the digital economy provides new momentum for reshaping urban-rural relations. Based on panel data covering 30 provincial-level administrative regions in China from 2012 to 2025, this paper constructs a digital economy development index and a comprehensive index of urban-rural integrated development. Adopting the two-way fixed effects model, mediating effect model and Spatial Durbin Model, it systematically investigates the direct impact, … Read more →

Research on Multi-technology Coupling and Synergistic Emission Reduction Mechanisms in Carbon Capture and Resource Utilization Processes

Vol. 6, No. 8, pp. 9-19, 2026 DOI: 10.54691/m4t5pn20 August 25, 2026
Abstract.Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) are technical routes for carbon neutrality. The five sections of the technical system in the "China Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage Technology Development Roadmap" for 2025 have been extended to include carbon capture, transport, use, storage and combined optimisation. Clusterisation and multi-technology integration have become the main directions for large-scale application. The following are the representative forms of multi-technology coupling discussed in this paper: integrated capture-conversion, cross-industry material and energy … Read more →

Spatial Heterogeneity and Vertical Distribution of Nitrogen Forms in Sediments of Qilu Lake

Vol. 6, No. 8, pp. 20-34, 2026 DOI: 10.54691/2q44p450 August 25, 2026
Abstract.To reveal the spatial heterogeneity and vertical distribution characteristics of nitrogen forms in the sediments of Qilu Lake, overlying water and surface sediment samples were collected from 15 sampling sites in June 2023, and sediment core samples were additionally collected from seven representative sites. The occurrence characteristics, release contributions, and interrelationships of various nitrogen fractions in overlying water, surface sediments, and sediment cores were systematically analyzed. The results showed that inorganic nitrogen dominated the nitrogen pool in the overlying water … Read more →

Evaluating Digital Rural Development from a Resilience Perspective: Evidence from Zhejiang Province

Vol. 6, No. 8, pp. 35-41, 2026 DOI: 10.54691/jjd8xg45 August 25, 2026
Abstract.Drawing on resilience theory, this study develops an evaluation framework for assessing the development level of digital rural areas and applies it to 90 counties (districts and county-level cities) in Zhejiang Province. Using statistical data from 2022, the entropy weight method and a comprehensive evaluation approach are employed to measure county-level digital rural resilience. The results reveal significant regional disparities in digital rural resilience across Zhejiang Province. High-resilience areas are primarily concentrated in the economically developed northeastern region, whereas … Read more →

Reform Pathways for the Vocational Skill Level Certification of Agriculture Majors as Floral Designers

Vol. 6, No. 8, pp. 42-47, 2026 DOI: 10.54691/sx1n2y73 August 25, 2026
Abstract.With the deepening reform of the national skilled talent assessment system, the certification for floral designers has shifted from a professional qualification to a vocational skill level accreditation, creating new career development opportunities for students in agricultural disciplines such as horticulture and landscape architecture. However, students currently face significant challenges in pursuing this certification, including a disconnect between training programs and industry needs, fragmented curricula, rigid accreditation mechanisms, and poor policy alignment. Using the … Read more →
