The Impact of Occupational Calling on Employees’ Workplace Health: The Mediating Role of Workplace Loneliness
Based on Self-Determination Theory, this study explores the impact of occupational calling on employees’ workplace health and its underlying mechanism from relational and emotional perspectives. A two-wave questionnaire survey was conducted to collect 256 valid employee samples, and SPSS was adopted for statistical analysis and hypothesis testing. The results reveal that occupational calling exerts a significant positive effect on employees’ physical workplace health and mental workplace health. Existential loneliness partially mediates the relationship between occupational calling and physical workplace health; both interpersonal loneliness and existential loneliness fully mediate the relationship between occupational calling and mental workplace health.

Research on the Outbound Paths of Wenzhou’s Footwear Enterprises under the Reconstruction of Global Value Chains
Against the backdrop of deep reconstruction of global value chains (GVCs) and the accelerated evolution of international trade rules, China's footwear industry is undergoing a systemic transformation from "OEM export" to "brand globalization" and from "cost-driven" to "value-driven" models. Using the theories of global value chains and enterprise internationalization as an analytical framework, and taking Aokang International, a leading footwear enterprise in Wenzhou, as a typical case study, this paper systematically analyzes the macro-policy environment, international trade context, current export status, deep-seated pain points, and collaborative breakout paths for Wenzhou's footwear enterprises going global. The study employs case study and comparative analysis methods. Key findings indicate that while Wenzhou’s footwear industry has a large export scale and high dependency, it faces multiple dilemmas: lock-in at the low end of GVCs, insufficient brand recognition, diminishing cost advantages, and escalating green trade barriers. Leading enterprises like Aokang have achieved a preliminary transition from OEM to OBM through a four-dimensional strategy: "Compliance barrier-breaking -Technology foundation-building -Cultural empowerment-Channel deep cultivation." Meanwhile, the synergistic effects of industrial clusters and digital transformation provide differentiated breakout paths for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This paper aims to provide theoretical reference and practical paradigms for traditional Chinese manufacturing enterprises to break through low-end lock-in and build global brand competitiveness.
Digital Governance Capacity and Urban Energy Structure Transformation
With the rapid development and deep application of digital technologies, digital governance capacity has become a crucial force in promoting urban governance modernization and energy structure transformation. Based on panel data from 285 prefecture-level cities in China from 2010 to 2022, this study constructs a Digital Governance Capacity Index and employs the System Generalized Method of Moments to empirically examine its impact on energy structure transformation. The findings reveal that digital governance capacity significantly reduces the share of coal consumption while increasing the proportion of clean energy consumption, and these conclusions remain robust after controlling for economic development level, industrial structure, environmental regulation, and other variables. Mechanism analysis demonstrates that digital governance capacity drives energy structure optimization through three pathways: enhancing technological innovation levels, strengthening the efficiency of environmental regulation enforcement, and improving the accessibility of green investment. Heterogeneity tests indicate that the promoting effect is more pronounced in eastern regions, non-resource-based cities, and cities with higher marketization levels, while exhibiting diminishing marginal effects or even insignificance in central and western resource-based cities, reflecting the moderating role of path dependence and institutional environment. This study provides micro-empirical evidence for the synergistic advancement of the "Digital China" strategy and green low-carbon transformation, and offers practical guidance for local governments to implement differentiated policies and precisely enhance digital governance effectiveness in service of energy structure transformation.

The Practical Dilemma and Response Path of Information Disclosure Mechanism of Private Equity Funds
The information disclosure system serves as a vital safeguard for the development of the private fund industry. While this system is applicable in practice, numerous scenarios still require further refinement. This is particularly evident in the lack of differentiated disclosure obligations between various investor entities and different stages of fundraising, investment, management, and exit. Additionally, the overlapping regulatory supervision by multiple institutions has led to increased disclosure obligations, and the civil liability system for information disclosure defects remains inadequate, all of which require urgent reconsideration. Based on these considerations, the current information disclosure system should be adjusted to enhance protection for ordinary investors, implement differentiated disclosure requirements across various stages, reform the institutional and fund manager regulatory supervision system, and improve the civil liability system for information disclosure defects.
A Study on the Remedial Paths of Civil Public Interest Litigation for Financial Consumers
Currently, individual financial consumers are confronted with dilemmas including high costs of rights protection, the strong concealment of infringements upon their rights and interests, and inadequate institutional safeguards. Traditional private relief approaches are incapable of addressing group-based, small-sum and scattered financial disputes, and the rapid development of digital finance and inclusive finance has further aggravated this situation. Against this backdrop, this paper endeavors to explore the protection of financial consumers’ rights and interests within the framework of the civil public interest litigation system for consumption.Oriented by the value of safeguarding social public interests, the civil public interest litigation system for consumption attaches importance to the protection of vulnerable consumer groups and exerts a significant role in resolving group consumer disputes. By dissecting the current legislative situation of civil public interest litigation for consumption and the dilemmas financial consumers face in safeguarding their rights, this paper demonstrates the legitimacy and necessity of civil public interest litigation remedies for financial consumers. This paper suggests that the eligible subject qualification of professional social organizations should be appropriately expanded. Meanwhile, the rule of reversal of the burden of proof shall be established, and litigation claims such as punitive damages should be explored, so as to reinforce the protection of financial consumers’ legitimate rights and interests.

The potential impact of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) on intra-African trade
The process of regional economic integration in Africa is currently lagging behind. The establishment of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) aims to deepen regional economic integration through the liberalisation of regional trade, thereby making it a key driver of economic structural transformation and sustainable development. The AfCFTA has the potential to boost output, trade and welfare across the continent, but there are disparities between different countries and sectors. Weak infrastructure, national concerns regarding potential gains and losses, and trade barriers are the primary reasons hindering the progress of the African Free Trade Area; it is therefore necessary for African nations to adopt targeted measures to advance its development.

Building Pathways and Strategic Develop-ment Approaches for University Financial Management Systems in a New Era
Under the strategic context of China's "Double-Class" initiative and the deepening integration of information technology, university financial management faces both unprecedented challenges and opportunities. As the vital underpinning for organizational operations, it provides indis-pensable preconditions and foundational support for core missions including talent cultivation, scientific research, social service, and cultural transmission. Consequently, the central challenge confronting financial departments is the construction of a financial governance system that is both aligned with national strategic objectives and tailored to the unique developmental needs of individual institutions. In response to this imperative, this paper argues that universities must systematically construct and refine their financial management ecosystem. This involves a mul-ti-pronged strategy to enhance the level of informatization, strengthen policy dissemination and training, and advance the professional development of financial teams. The ultimate aim is to establish a robust economic foundation that reliably supports the high-quality advancement of "Double-Class" construction.

Research on the Path of Empowering the Green Development of the Huaihe River Ecological Economic Belt by Digital Inclusive Finance under the Carbon Neutrality Target
In the context of global climate warming and China's proactive efforts to achieve the goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, The Huai River Basin, as a strategically important area in the central and eastern regions, is currently facing challenges such as high energy consumption and severe environ-mental pollution. This article suggests that digital inclusive finance may promote green development through green innovation and industrial structure adjustment. Panel data of 27 prefecture-level cities in the Huaihe River Ecological Economic Belt from 2011 to 2022 were selected, and a two-way fixed effects model was used for empirical testing to investigate the impact of digital inclusive finance on green development. The benchmark regression results indicate that digital inclusive finance is positively correlated with the green development index and has passed the robustness test. Through mechanism verification, it was found that digital inclusive finance indirectly drives green development through two paths: green technological innovation and rationalization of the industrial structure. Based on this, it is suggested to promote regional sustainable development from aspects such as deepening the green empowerment effect of digital inclusive finance and improving the mechanism for industrial structure upgrading. This research provides a new theoretical perspective for the green transformation of the Huai River Ecological Economic Belt.

Research on Sustainable Offshore Energy Development in the Context of Carbon Neutrality and Carbon Peaking, Combined with CCUS
In the context of the new era of "dual-carbon" economy, an increasing number of industries are moving towards low-carbon economic development. Low-carbon development strategies and efficient resource utilization have gradually become indispensable conditions and foundations for sustainable development in various sectors. China's energy structure is rapidly transitioning towards diversification, clean energy, and low-carbon solutions. To more effectively explore, develop, and utilize various offshore energy resources, this paper proposes an integrated offshore energy development model combined with CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage) technology, aiming to achieve sustainable development of offshore energy. Firstly, electricity is generated through offshore wind power, photovoltaic systems, tidal energy, and salinity gradient power, providing a continuous supply of clean energy to offshore oil platforms and marine ranches, thereby achieving efficient energy utilization. Secondly, waste gases produced during operations are managed through CCUS technology to achieve low-carbon or even zero-carbon emissions, enabling zero-carbon offshore production and living. Furthermore, the integrated construction model of new energy and CCUS facilitates the efficient utilization of carbon dioxide. Ultimately, this study provides strategic recommendations for the sustainable development of offshore energy, including the use of electricity, fossil fuels, nuclear energy, hydrogen, and other clean and efficient energy sources, thereby advancing research on the sustainable development of integrated offshore energy systems.
Research on the Impact of New Quality Productivity on the Level of Green and Low-Carbon Development
Against the backdrop of global warming and increasingly prominent environmental issues, green and low-carbon development has become a common pursuit of the international community. In this context, the concept of new-form productivity provides a new theoretical and practical pathway for sustainable development. This paper employs panel data from 30 provinces (municipalities, and autonomous regions) in China from 2010 to 2022, constructs relevant indicators, and uses the TOPSIS entropy weight method to calculate the levels of new-form productivity and green and low-carbon development in each province. Combining a fixed-effects model, we empirically analyze the impact of new-form productivity on the level of green and low-carbon development and its mechanism of action. The results show that new-form productivity can enhance the level of green and low-carbon development by improving technological levels and promoting consumer upgrading. However, this impact effect varies across regions. In the economically developed eastern regions, where the industrial structure is more mature, the transformation effect of new-form productivity is more evident. In contrast, the central and western regions, constrained by the level of infrastructure construction, still need to enhance the impact of new-form productivity on the level of green and low-carbon development.

The Impact of RCEP Tariff Reductions on the Trade Structure of China's High-Tech Man-ufacturing Industry
This paper employs a dynamic recursive approach to update the GTAP macroeconomic database and analyzes the impact of the full implementation of tariff commitment schedules in RCEP countries on the trade structure of China's high-tech manufacturing industry, using a weighted average of the tariff schedules across RCEP member states. The study finds that RCEP tariff concessions significantly promote trade growth in China's high-tech manufacturing sector, but with industry heterogeneity: imports and exports of electronic and communication equipment, as well as computers and office equipment, show notable increases, while trade in pharmaceutical manufacturing and aerospace equipment contracts. China's trade volume with RCEP member states grows significantly, whereas trade with non-member states declines. Accordingly, China should fully leverage the tariff reduction opportunities under RCEP to enhance the international competitiveness of its high-tech manufacturing sector, deepen cooperation among member states, strengthen talent cultivation, and thereby foster high-quality development in China's high-tech manufacturing industry.
A study of the impact of ESG performance on the level of internationalisation of family firms
ESG performance is a comprehensive indicator covering three measurement dimensions of en-vironment, society and corporate governance, which is an important basis for measuring the sustainable development of enterprises and has received wide attention from the society. This paper selects Chinese A-share-listed family firms from 2014 to 2022 as the research object and tries to explore the impact of ESG performance on the international operation level of family firms. It is found that there is a positive correlation between ESG performance and the interna-tional operation level of family firms, which still holds after controlling for endogeneity and conducting robustness tests. In terms of the influence mechanism, the ESG performance of fam-ily firms mainly improves the international operation level of family firms by promoting green innovation, improving business credit and corporate reputation, and alleviating financing con-straints, which to a certain extent provides family firms with a way to deepen their ESG practice and strengthen international competitiveness, which to a certain extent provides a new perspec-tive for family enterprises to deepen ESG practice and strengthen international competitiveness.
