Abstract: Our goal is to integrate gamification into real-world systems engineering practice to enhance the effectiveness and engagement of systems engineers working in team environments. A central challenge in this context is that directly overlaying explicit gamification elements—such as points, badges, or leaderboards—onto professional workflows is often impractical and may disrupt established engineering processes. Therefore, gamification strategies must be grounded in data that can already be collected from the existing engineering environment. These strategies should provide actionable behavior cues that align with both individual performance metrics and broader team objectives, ensuring consistency with established engineering goals. In this approach, the “game” is not artificially created but inherently exists within the systems engineering process itself. The role of gamification researchers is to make this implicit game visible—by clarifying the process, highlighting cause-effect relationships, and presenting progress in a form that is intuitive and motivating for all stakeholders. This requires accurately modeling the complexity of modern systems engineering, monitoring activities in real time, and translating data into clear, causal performance feedback. By embedding gamification into the way results are visualized and understood, we aim to drive positive behavioral change. This paper details our methodology, reports current findings, and outlines future research directions.

Abstract: In the context of globalization, the internationalization of medical research has become a trend. This study employs CiteSpace software to conduct a visual analysis of Chinese and English literature related to the internationalization of medicine from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)and Web of Science databases(WoS), revealing the dynamics and differences of research both domestically and internationally. The results indicate that domestic research began earlier than international efforts, with a significant increase in the volume of literature, mainly focusing on the internationalization pathways of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), talent cultivation, and innovation in educational models. High-frequency keywords include "Traditional Chinese Medicine", "medical education," and "Belt and Road Initiative." In contrast, international research focuses on clinical collaboration for global diseases and public health policies, with hot topics centered on “clinical trials”,“experience”and“competence.”Spatial distribution analysis indicates that domestic institutions exhibit loose collaboration with distinct regional characteristics, while international cooperation is primarily led by Europe and the United States, with low participation from China. Emergent word analysis reveals that domestic hot topics include "acupuncture" and "talent cultivation," while international research emphasizes “competence”and“economic growth.” The study highlights the need to strengthen the construction of multinational, multicenter clinical collaboration networks, promote the alignment of TCM standards with international standards, and facilitate the transformation of medical internationalization from cultural export to scientific paradigm innovation through the establishment of a compound talent pipeline and a data-sharing mechanism.

Abstract: Against the backdrop of global climate change mitigation and China's vigorous promotion of the "Dual Carbon" goals, the green transformation of leading industries has become a crucial pathway for achieving high-quality and sustainable economic development. This study employs a combination of literature review, theoretical analysis, and a case study of Volvo to systematically investigate the current status, challenges, and corresponding countermeasures for financial support in this transition. The findings indicate that leading industries have made certain progress through technological innovation, efficiency gains, and resource recycling, which has significantly enhanced their market competitiveness. However, they still face multiple challenges, including market failures, insufficient corporate motivation for transformation, and defects in green information disclosure mechanisms. The in-depth case study of Volvo further identifies specific problems such as high-cost investments under information asymmetry, long-cycle risks in technology R&D financing, and financing difficulties for SMEs exacerbated by cross-border standard discrepancies. In response, this paper proposes a comprehensive support framework comprising four dimensions: constructing a foundational green finance system, adapting financial instruments in a phased manner, strengthening whole-chain risk management, and establishing a multi-stakeholder collaborative ecosystem. Corresponding optimization strategies are also provided. This research offers both theoretical insights and practical references for financial institutions and policymakers to facilitate the high-quality green transformation of leading industries.

Abstract: In the intertwined process of globalization and digitalization, folk intangible cultural heritage is undergoing a transformation—from the decline of traditional transmission methods to the innovation and reform of dissemination approaches. The recently emerged generative AI (AIGC) offers new pathways for the protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage. This paper takes two major festival-based intangible cultural heritages—the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival and the Spanish Fallas Festival—as examples. From a cross-cultural comparative perspective, it applies ecological cultural theory and embeddedness theory to explain the technological applications and institutional adaptations of AIGC in different cultural contexts. Based on empirical evidence, it constructs a three-dimensional analytical framework of “technological application-institutional structure-cultural expression,” examining the similarities and differences between the two countries’ mechanisms in terms of protection entities, technological means, and cultural transmission. It is found that China’s protection mechanism features government leadership and social participation, with AIGC empowering digital archiving, immersive education, and cultural-creative content production. In contrast, the Fallas Festival relies on community participation and artistic associations, with AIGC supporting grassroots autonomy and Fallas-specific creativity. The Dragon Boat Festival is rooted in Confucian cultural contexts, focusing on themes like disease prevention and patriotic narratives. Meanwhile, the Fallas Festival reflects a shared Spanish value of creativity, satire, and collective celebration. In both cases, AIGC is used to engage younger generations and expand public participation, highlighting both differences and overlaps in cross-cultural dissemination. This paper argues that AIGC is guiding folk intangible cultural heritage from a state of “static memory” to one of “intelligent expression.” In the next phase, leveraging shared digital resources, ICH metaverse systems, and algorithmic governance mechanisms can help construct a global, collaborative digital heritage ecosystem, thus enabling the sustainable cultural creation of intangible heritage.
