Optimizing financial success: The synergistic impact of artificial intelligence and R&D investments in U.S. firms

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) and intellectual machines can support businesses in performing various activities. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the performance outcomes by assessing the concentration of AI technologies. To create a quantifiable score of AI concentration, AI-related terms are identified in the annual reports of all listed firms in the U.S. For analysis purposes, a fixed effects model is employed, using firms’ panel data from 2003 to 2022. The analysis reveals that AI concentration is beneficial for a company’s financial success. Additional analysis examines the moderating role of research and development (R&D). Firms with higher R&D spending experience increased financial benefits from concentrating on AI technologies. The uniqueness of this study lies in analyzing the financial success through the AI and R&D parameters. The findings support a higher concentration on AI, combined with higher R&D spending, to attain greater financial success. The main insights suggest that management must evaluate their existing focus on AI and R&D spending to improve their financial position.

Influence of region, experience, and subjective norm on the use of e-learning: Lesson from the insurance industry in Indonesia

The effectiveness and efficiency of e-learning system in industry significantly depend on users’ acceptance and adoption. This is specifically determined by external and internal factors represented by subjective norms (SN) and experience (XP), both believed to affect users’ perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEOU). Users’ acceptance of e-learning system is influenced by the immensity of region, often hampered by inadequate infrastructure support. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate behavioral intention to use e-learning in the Indonesian insurance industry by applying Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). To achieve this objective, Jabotabek and Non-Jabotabek regions were used as moderating variables in all related hypotheses. An online survey was conducted to obtain data from 800 respondents who were Indonesian insurance industry employees. Subsequently, Structural Equation Model (SEM) was used to evaluate the hypotheses, and Multi-Group Analysis (MGA) to examine the role of region. The results showed that out of the seven hypotheses tested, only one was rejected. Furthermore, XP had no significant effect on PU, and the most significant correlation was found between PEOU and PU. In each relationship path model, the role of region (Jabodetabek and Non Jabodetabek) had no significant differences. These results were expected to provide valuable insights into the components of e-learning acceptability for the development of a user-friendly system in the insurance industry.

A study on the willingness of publicly-funded teacher trainees in preschool education to teach in western ethnic minority areas--a chain-mediated model

Research on the willingness of preschool education public-funded normal students in western regions to teach can help improve the quality of their training and effectively achieve the goal of cultivating local talents. A total of 568 public-funded preschool normal students from Province X were measured using the Motivation for Enrolling Scale, Education Quality Satisfaction Scale, and Education Quality Satisfaction Scale. A total of 568 public-funded preschool normal students from Province X were measured using the Motivation for Enrolling Scale, Education Quality Satisfaction Scale, Willingness to Teach Scale, and Cultural Identity Scale. The study found significant correlations among motivation for enrolling, education quality satisfaction, cultural identity, and willingness to teach. The study found significant correlations among motivation for enrolling, education quality satisfaction, cultural identity, and willingness to teach. Western region’s public-funded preschool normal students can indirectly influence their willingness to teach through the chain-mediated role of education quality satisfaction, cultural identity, and willingness to teach. Western region’s public-funded preschool normal students can indirectly influence their willingness to teach through the chain-mediated role of education quality satisfaction and cultural identity.

Fuzzy pricing of European options based on Liu process

Many studies have found that in addition to randomness, financial markets also have ambiguity. In order to better address this issue, this article introduces fuzziness into option pricing models and conducts in-depth research on existing fuzzy stock models. Firstly, based on the generalized stock model of the standard Liu process, the corresponding option pricing formula was derived. Then, this article studied the generalized multi factor pricing model and derived the corresponding European option pricing formula. In order to make the research results more specific, this article provides specific examples of European options and corresponding chart analysis This research achievement not only enriches the theory of option pricing, but also provides new methods and basis for option pricing in actual financial markets.

Optimization model for lobster harvesting intensity based on nonlinear programming and its maximization of annual catch

Effective harvesting strategies are crucial for maximizing annual catch and ensuring the sustainability of lobster (Homarus americanus) farming. This paper presents a nonlinear objective programming model to optimize harvesting intensity based on lobster life cycle dynamics and harvesting characteristics. We model the population dynamics of 1-4 year-old lobsters using differential equations to account for natural mortality, spawning, and harvesting effects. Solving the model with LINGO 12.0, we determine that the optimal harvesting intensity coefficient is 17.36, which maximizes annual catch to 3.88 × 10¹⁰ grams. Results indicate that maintaining harvesting intensity around this optimal value balances economic benefits and population stability, ensuring sustainable farm operations.

The Path and Implementation of Civic-Political Construction of University English Courses under the Three-Whole Parent_x005fing Mode

In today’s higher education, the “three-round education” model has become a widely discussed and respected educational philos_x005fophy. This model aims to comprehensively cultivate students’ moral quality, intellectual ability and physical quality, so that they can better adapt to the needs of modern society. In this context, the ideological and political construction of university English courses has emerged as a key link in the university education system. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the path and implementation strategy of the ideological and political construction of university English courses under the mode of “Three-Whole Parenting”, and to study how to combine the modern education concepts to make university English education become an effective way to cultivate all-round talents. Through this mission, we can better meet the challenges of the times and cultivate more graduates with comprehensive quality for the society, who will play an important role in the future field.
