... Governance creates an environment that enables green digital businesses to thrive. In addition, the data-centric approach to smart cities (Ullah et al., 2024) provides entrepreneurs with valuable insights into environmental challenges, consumer behavior, and emerging market trends that could be employed to identify and exploit markete opportunities (Komninos et al., 2022). ...
... In general, a smart city integrates three key elements: smart people, smart technology, and smart collaboration (Kashef et al., 2021;Komninos et al., 2022). The level of "smartness" of a city is measured by its ability to attract and mobilize human capital using information and communication technologies (Aloulou et al., 2024;Meijer & Bolívar, 2016). ...
... An essential takeaway is that cities prioritizing technology-driven sustainability attract venture capital (Popescu et al., 2021) and foster entrepreneurial activity (Hain et al., 2016), creating synergies that bolster urban innovation and economic growth. However, the convergence of sustainability and entrepreneurship introduces challenges, particularly due to the reliance on smart infrastructure, which is often concentrated in major urban centers (Kashef et al., 2021;Komninos et al., 2022). This focus risks sidelining smaller cities and rural areas, potentially excluding them from green entrepreneurship benefits and exacerbating regional disparities in income and development. ...
The development of green digital entrepreneurship has gained significant importance in smart cities around the globe. These ventures, which integrate digital technologies with sustainable practices, thrive in specific contextual environments that influence their emergence and growth. To examine this dynamic, we conducted a quantitative analysis of the relationship between smart city development and performance of green digital entrepreneurship ecosystems. Using a Negative Binomial Model and Poisson Regression with Pseudo Maximum Likelihood, our findings reveal a positive and statistically significant association between smart city development and green digital entrepreneurship ecosystem performance. Additionally, our analysis indicates a first-order autoregressive effect on the performance of these ecosystems. Based on these insights, we offer recommendations to policymakers, scholars, and practitioners to better understand and foster the growth of green digital entrepreneurship.
... Anagram will make the students able to emphasize on the importance of letters position in relation to words meaning This game is very good for improving vocabulary skills and prolonging memory for new words in English. Forming anagrams is not easy, one type of word can change into another type of word (Komninos, 2022). A noun can change into a verb or it can also remain another noun, an adverb can change into an adjective, and so on. ...
Speaking is the art of communicating in social situations so that people compete to learn languages because this is an interesting goal for them to achieve. Communicating using English is very popular in the current era of globalization. English has many benefits for increasing your chances of making friends with other people from various countries and for getting a job abroad. Many schools from elementary school to university level have English learning materials. In this case, the research took place at SD IT Ulil Albab Kamal and focused on vocabulary, because the students' vocabulary was lacking so that they were not fluent in speaking English and did not have the courage to speak. The researcher also concluded questions that focus on the problem that occurred, namely: 1. How does the Second Grade Students of SD IT Ulil Albab Kamal improve vocabulary through anagram game? 2. How do the students respond toward the use of anagram game in the class? With this problem, researchers introduced the Anagram game and the methodology by using Descriptive Qualitative Method. Anagram game is a brain-teasing puzzle game, where players have to change one word into another word by rearranging the letters. This game is very good for improving vocabulary skills and prolonging memory for new words in English. Researchers used two instruments, namely observation and interviews. From the instruments used in collecting data in the field, producing conclusions by using the Anagram game, the Second Grade Students at SD IT Ulil Albab Kamal can understand the meaning of words when communicating by using English
... In Chinese traditional culture, "red" has the meaning of "auspiciousness, jubilation and success", and "red" began to be closely linked with the revolution with the outbreak of the French Revolution in the 18th century [1]. After the October Revolution, Russia formed the "Red Army" and established the "Red Zone", which gradually became the symbol of "socialism" and "communism". ...
As a product of the revolutionary war years, red culture, with its strong vitality, strong cohesion and extraordinary charm, with its incomparable positive energy, resists vulgar and flattering culture, promotes people to rebuild their faith, purify their minds, stimulate their motivation, and promote the process of cultural power. Yan’an, represented by red culture, is rich in resources. This is the holy land of Chinese revolution, the first batch of famous historical and cultural cities named by the State Council, and the three major education bases of patriotism, revolutionary tradition, and Yan’an spirit. The development and utilization of such resources have great political, cultural, educational and economic values. This research is based on the development of red culture, and uses the distributed machine learning system to realize in the system architecture of parameter server. In the distributed system set in this study, node downtime and network interruption are random. When the parameter server system adopts static scheduling, it leads to poor scalability and robustness. The experimental results show that under the intelligent simulation of machine learning system, the development of red culture resources meets the expected assumptions, and the accuracy of the model is relatively high.

... Recently, the European Commission has experienced a significant digital transition through which it tries to boost the resilience of various European regions toward making them more competitive, sustainable, and inclusive toward external shocks. In this regard, investigating the interactions rising between the social and technical elements of regional systems is an essential point when considering the prospects of resilience at the regional level (Komninos, Kakderi, Mora, Panori, & Sefertzi, 2022;Panori et al., 2021). ...
... More specifically, road safety, traffic, and energy distribution are areas through which CPS and HMNrelated EU projects affect resilience. Improved performance of these systems is a key element for increasing connectivity between different urban and regional ecosystems, paving the way for improving their overall resilience and helping them to respond to external shocks more efficiently ( Johnson & Nica, 2021;Komninos et al., 2022). The idea of connected intelligence space is boosted through these structural changes introduced by digital space elements (Komninos, 2022;. ...
The chapter focuses on exploring the notion of resilience and its relation to digital space. Resilience is a key element closely related to regional transformation processes, as it affects the capacity of regions to adapt in external shocks and transitions. In this context, the chapter builds on the interplay between digital space, resilience, and green transition processes, initially exploring the ways in which digital applications have affected resilience in recent shocks, including climate change and natural disasters, COVID-19, and the energy crisis. It then further elaborates on specific expressions of digital space, cyber-physical systems, and human-machine networks that have been found significant for boosting resilience through R&I programs, identifying specific areas of their application (smart grids, digital services, autonomous vehicles, and robotics). Finally, it provides an overview of the current EU policy framework that is mostly related to resilience, the EU Green Deal, and discusses the ways in which digital space can be embedded for fostering its potential outcomes.
... There are however few examples of more complex initiatives, in cities that have already embedded -long before the pandemic-smart systems and services in their operations, like Seoul which tried to use advanced tracing techniques such as geolocalization data, bank-card usage, and video surveillance for contact tracing and to ensure social distancing. The combined intelligence emerging from human-computer interactions reaches the highest possible level of digital transformation where activities may be performed at the digital space, but the routines that govern these activities are replaced by more fit ones, defined within a cyber-physical system of innovation (Komninos et al, 2021b). The emergence of intelligence also improves the responsiveness and resilience of the urban transport ecosystem against crises and various challenges and creates liveable urban spaces focusing on the real mobility needs and leveraging innovative solutions. ...
This paper looks into three conditions that are present in most discourses on urban liveability, namely geographical inclusion and poverty, carbon neutrality and climate change, and urban transport. We start with poverty and inclusion, which have been considered as the most important factors that shape liveabilty in cities over time, determining what people do for a living, their income level, the distribution of wealth, and well-being. Then, we discuss environmental sustainability and net-zero city districts, which are now at the centre of concern for cities due to risks associated with climate change and carbon emissions. We look into current trends of post-covid mobility and transport, which play also a decisive role in the way cities are structured and operate and affect how people live and organize their activities in cities. We approach these three conditions of urban liveability as a complex system with a high level of interdependency and we search for common solutions to address these challenges comprehensively. Also, we examine how disruptive innovations, introduced by digital technologies and new infrastructures in cities, such as novel means for electric transport, smart grid, and energy optimization systems, sharing platforms, data and analytics, offer new solutions to those long-standing challenges of urban living.
... Studies that applied developing concepts and technologies were focused on smart city applications and evaluated their effects. The majority of the studies applied developing technologies, such as digital twins, augmented reality and other media-related technologies, with the purpose of improving management and the construction environment and digitizing smart cities [119][120][121][122][123]. Research relating to adaptation of hardware, according to fourth industrial revolution, has been performed, including service-providing sensors, signaling, navigation systems for specific environments and system development for connected intelligence spaces [124][125][126][127]. Case studies were performed that considered technological adaptations for public spaces within smart cities to benefit residents' health, social interactions and safety [128,129]. ...
The development of smart cities has led to transforming modern city operations by applying emerging technologies from the fourth industrial revolution such as the Internet of Things, BIM and machine learning. To prepare for the future development of cities, it is necessary to investigate the current status of city development, research topics and the direction toward future cities. In this study, a systematic literature review was conducted following the combination of literature review guides by Kitchenham and the PRISMA statement. The review identified 141 peer-reviewed academic papers from web-based archives, such as Web of Science and SCOPUS, that were categorized into five topics related to smart cities and urban areas. The technologies applied in the research were analyzed to determine the direction future cities should take based on current smart cities and emerging technologies that will shape individuals’ daily lives. However, it was discovered that research papers on critical areas, such as mobility and management, were lacking compared to those on building design and urban planning. This paper concludes with an example of a future urban area that has been transformed due to adoption of future mobility technology to address the shortcomings of the reviewed literature on building and urban environments.

The construction of PE ecosystem of smart school is an inevitable trend of future education, which needs our continuous exploration and practice in order to give full play to its role and promote the allround development of students. Therefore, we identify the commonality, coinnovation function, and the correlation between functions of SSPE, so as to define a common architecture to achieve innovation and high-performance SSPE ecosystem (Komninos et al., 2022). However, most existing ecosystem architecture frameworks were developed to address the concerns of stakeholders in the relevant domain. ...
With the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing (CLO), mobile Internet (MI), big data (BD), artificial intelligence (AI), and other new generation of information technology (NGIT), school physical education (PE) began to enter the era of smart school PE (SSPE). The purpose of this study is to realize the smart governance of school PE through the NGIT and analyze the related problems of SSPE, to help people understand the structure of SSPE. This paper mainly uses literature research method, in-depth interview method, and case analysis method to carry out in-depth and systematic analysis on the basic theory, construction status, application cases, ecosystem, future challenges, and optimization path of SSPE and outlines the research panorama of SSPE. The research results show that the NGIT enables the high-quality development of school PE, but the utilization of SSPE platform and the reserve of key products are insufficient, the research on the theory and method of SSPE lags behind the practice, the construction and management system of SSPE is not in order, and the resources of SSPE are very short. The construction of SSPE has some remarkable characteristics, that is, integration, liberalization, experiential, subject-oriented, long-distance, and intelligent. SSPE system includes smart facilities, smart government, smart schools, smart teachers and students, and smart environment. The IoT, CLO, MI, BD, spatial information science and technology (SIST), and AI are the six key technologies of SSPE. This paper also discusses how to build a good ecosystem of SSPE and possible future challenges for the implementation of SSPE. Finally, the author puts forward that the construction of SSPE needs to grasp seven aspects: Straighten out the system and mechanism of SSPE, build SSPE infrastructure, accelerate the broadband process of school PE network, promote school PE resource cloud services, build intelligent school PE environment, vigorously develop mobile sports and intelligent sports, develop related industries of SSPE, and actively respond to the challenges of SSPE in the future. This study provides a new perspective and reference for the future research of school PE and provides support for the NGIT to empower the smart governance of school PE. It is suggested that we should pay more attention to the construction and research of SSPE, so as to realize the smart governance of schools PE and promote its high-quality development.

In this study, we explore the impact of live video marketing on consumer behavior. Using short live videos, webcast marketing aims to establish direct connections with consumers and drive sales. The COVID-19 pandemic has further accelerated the adoption of e-commerce live broadcasting. We propose a research methodology based on human performance technology to understand the factors influencing college students’ repurchase behavior in this context. The empirical investigation with 762 valid questionnaires reveals intriguing correlations between social consciousness, social thinking, and social awareness with trust, influencing purchase behavior. Reliability and loyalty also play significant roles in shaping repeat purchases and purchase continuity. This study sheds light on the dynamic relationship between social presence, customer trust, and repeat purchase intention in the evolving landscape of live video marketing. Businesses can leverage these insights to craft effective marketing strategies and foster lasting consumer connections in the digital era.
