The public health emergency has changed the environment and conditions of art teaching. Based on the abnormal teaching background, we can use this as an opportunity to explore new teaching forms. Relying on the unique functions of the network platform, the Art Cloud Classroom explores a new style of home-based art learning that is vivid, autonomous and interactive, develops students' art skills, develops positive interests and emotions, and makes every life a better place in the nourishment of art.

Weather and climate services are essential tools that help farmers make informed choices, such as choosing appropriate crop varieties. These services depend considerably on the availability of adequate investments in infrastructure related to weather forecasting, which are often provided by the State in most countries. Zimbabwean farmers generally have limited access to modern weather and climate services. While extensive attempts have been made to investigate farmers’ socioeconomic factors that influence access to and use of weather and climate services, comparative political economy analysis of weather and climate service production and use is limited. To address this knowledge gap, this study examines the production, dissemination, and usage of modern seasonal weather services through a political economy analysis perspective. The findings of this study highlight considerable discrepancies in access and use of seasonal weather forecasts between male and female farmers, those who practise African Traditional Religions versus Christians, and the minority group (Ndau tribe) and the majority group (Manyika tribe). This result suggested the presence of social marginalization. For example, minority Ndau members living in remote areas with limited radio signals and a weak mobile network have limited access to modern seasonal weather forecasts, forcing them to rely much more on indigenous weather forecasts. Further, due to unequal power relations, a greater proportion of male farmers participated in agricultural policy formation processes than their female counterparts. To promote inclusive development and implementation, deliberate efforts need to be made by State authorities to incorporate adherents of African traditional religions, members of minority tribes and female farmers in agricultural policymaking processes, including seasonal weather forecast delivery policies. Further, the study suggests the relaxation or elimination of international sanctions on Zimbabwe by the European Union, United Kingdom and the United States of America, given that they are considerably affecting marginalized groups of farmers in their climate change adaptation practices, including the use of modern weather and climate services. The vast majority of these marginalized farmers never benefitted from the land reform programme and were also not responsible for the design and implementation of this programme which triggered these sanctions.

The world has changed to a massive degree in the past thousands of years. Most of the time, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere remains constant. In the late 18th century, according to the sources of CDIAC and NOOA, the level of carbon dioxide began to rise, and then in the 20th century, it went through the roof, reaching levels that had not been seen in nature for millions of years. The increase in carbon in the atmosphere is the major contributing factor to climate change. The key to reversing the damage is restoring the earth’s delicate, balanced carbon cycle. As carbon cycle depicts the way carbon moves around the earth. It consists of sources that emit the carbon component into the atmosphere. The biological side of the carbon cycle is well balanced due to respiration, where carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, then plants, bacteria, and algae take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere during photosynthesis and the process they use to generate chemical energy. On the other hand, oceans are the best sources and sinks; carbon dioxide is endlessly being absorbed into the ocean and released from the oceans almost exactly at the same rate, which is rapidly influencing the carbon cycle. Similarity is a methodology that has many applications in the real world. The current research article is destined to study how statistics of carbon emission metrics are alike and belong to one cluster. In the current study, the research is destined to derive a similarity analysis of several countries’ carbon emission metrics that are alike and often fall in the range of [0, 1]. And deriving the proximity of the carbon emission metrics leading to similarity or dissimilarity. In the current context of data matrices of numerical data, an Euclidian measure of distance between two data elements will yield a degree of similarity. The current research article is destined to study the similarity analysis of carbon emission metrics through fuzzy entropy clustering.

The Three Kingdoms period of ancient China (208-280 AD) refers to the period  between Eastern Han (25–220 AD) and Jin dynasties (266–420), during which China was divided into Shu (221-263 AD), Wei  (220-266 AD) and Wu (222-280 AD) kingdoms, and then united as Jin dynasty. This paper constructs the quarterly series of alliance structures between the Three Kingdoms. By collecting and analyzing a total of two hundred and eighty-nine quarterly observations, the paper shows that the three most frequent alliance structures are ρ0: 1) the finest partition or no-alliance structure with 192 partitions; 2) Three partitions with Shu-Jin alliance and Wu singletion with 57 partions; 3) Wei-Wu alliance and one singletion Shu with 12 partions. It also shows that the observed changes in alliance structures were the consequence of a total of fifteen major battles fought by the three kingdoms. Such results serve as a contribution to the studies of applied game theory, alliance study, and the economic and military histories in ancient China.

The purpose of this research study is to identify the factors of knowledge sharing among library professionals of higher educational institutions of Pakistan. There are very few studies on the knowledge exchange between library professionals in Pakistan’s higher education institutions. In this study model which has all the elements used to examine the knowledge sharing, in the study researcher investigate the impact of technological, organizational and individual on library professionals’ knowledge sharing behavior. The study adopted a descriptive survey design as research design and quantitative as type of research type. Questionnaire was adapted and used to collect data from 240 librarians through Google form survey in the higher educational institutions. The population of study is higher educational institutions of Pakistan. Convenience sampling techniques was used for data collection. The data were analyzed through the measurement model and structural equation model (PLS-SEM). The results of the study technological development, organizational development and individual development are significant for knowledge sharing in higher educational intuitions in Pakistan. This study gave new insights through to policy makers for the future polices to higher authorities.

The nighttime economy has always been an important part of tourism in Thailand. The alcohol industry contends that lifting alcohol restrictions will promote tourism and, consequently, generate additional income. Endogenous Growth Theory, however, emphasizes on investing in human capital, innovation, and knowledge as the most important factors that affect economic growth for a nation. Alcohol consumption incurs opportunity costs, as households lose financial resources and time that could be invested in children’s development. Relaxing control measures to promote alcohol consumption should impede economic development by diminishing the quality of human resources. The paper, therefore, aims to estimate the impact of alcohol consumption on economic growth by using 1990–2019 annual data from Thailand. By adopting Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach, the results reveal that alcohol consumption has significant and negative effects on economic growth in the long run. The statistic tests demonstrate no presence of serial correlation, heteroskedasticity, as well as, endogeneity problems. The finding has been corroborated in international studies, in which alcohol consumption contributes to substantial social and economic costs of the society.
