However, in recent studies, more and more arguments are made in favor of the efficiency of SOEs, yet existing empirical studies are mostly based on production industry data as samples. On the basis of adopting distribution samples and conducting a cross-sector comparison between the production industry and the distribution sector, this paper offers a multi-perspective empirical assessment on the efficiency of SOEs. Through the analysis of major JTnancial indicators and adopting the Data Envelopment Analysis-Malmquist index for total factor productivity comparison, we find that SOEs generally do not have any disadvantage in efficiency and their superior efficiency is particularly pronounced in the distribution sector as compared with production industry. Moreover, the high share and high efficiency of state capital in the wholesale sector needs particular attention. This paper employs case studies to reveal the positive correlation between the assets-heavy operation of state-owned wholesale firms and their profitability. The implications are as follows: policymakers must deliberate prudently before deciding to withdraw or increase state capital in various sectors; in the wholesale sector where state capital is more efficient, the functions of state capital can be bolstered by increasing its presence in the sector," the notion that state capital must be withdrawn from competitive sectors cannot be adopted likely, nor should the benefits of asset-light operation be exaggerated.展开更多

The emphasis on regression analysis indicates its importance as a statistical method that helps researchers understand relationships between variables and make predictions based on data. The inclusion of multiple disciplines, such as health sciences, social sciences, environmental studies, economics, engineering, clinical psychology, social psychology, developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, and education highlights the interdisciplinary relevance of regression analysis. This breadth suggests that the findings and methodologies discussed in the paper may have wide applications, benefiting various sectors by enhancing the quality of research outcomes. The mention of “methodologies and data analysis techniques” indicates that the paper will likely delve into specific statistical approaches, offering a comprehensive examination of how regression analysis is applied in real-world scenarios. This nuance is essential, as it demonstrates the research’s commitment to not only presenting theoretical insights but also practical applications. Furthermore, the abstract states that regression analysis “enhances the validity of findings” and “informs data-driven decision-making.” This assertion underlines the critical role that robust statistical methods play in ensuring that research conclusions are reliable and applicable. The ability of regression analysis to provide clarity and support informed decisions makes it a valuable tool in both academic and professional settings. The abstract effectively outlines the paper’s exploration of regression analysis in various fields, underscoring its importance in enhancing research validity and facilitating informed decision-making. The interdisciplinary nature of the research broadens its appeal and emphasizes the need for rigorous statistical approaches in addressing complex issues across different domains.展开更多

In addition,they can represent or influence the turbulent flow field. The challenges for the investigation of the non-local structures include their identification, characterization, and evolution.The improving understanding of the quasi-Lagrangian structures is expected to be helpful to elucidate crucial dynamics and develop structure-based predictive models in turbulence.展开更多

METHODS: The subjects were 80 persons (40 male and 40 females, age range: 17 to approximately 25 years) with acceptable faces and individual normal occlusions. The subjects were asked to take maximum smiling position to accept photographic measurement with computer-aided analysis. RESULTS: The maximum smile line could be divided into 3 categories: low smile line (16.25%), average smile line (68.75%), and high smile line (15%). CONCLUSION: The method adopting maximum smiling position to study the lip-month region is reproducible and comparable. This study would be helpful to provide a quantitative reference for clinical investigation, diagnosis, treatment and efficacy appraisal.展开更多

Innovation is considered as a leverage to start a virtuous circle that improves company performance and, consequently, reduce financial constraints for its development. Being creative is definitely the first mechanism that leads to innovation. Creativity spreads from both the individuals that work in the firm and from the social processes and contextual factors that characterize individual relationships within the company. Relational capital is the second mechanism that brings innovation. Relationships with clients, suppliers, competitors, producers of complementary products, public and private research institutions provide creative elements that, once screened, give rise to innovation. The first mechanism requires the firm to be creative on its own as innovations come directly from within the organization ("closed innovation" model). In the second, the firm must get in touch with potentially innovative idea~ coming from outside ("open innovation" model). Doctrine and praxis point out that firms, which do not stop at the first mechanism of innovation, turn out to be more innovative. The paper is structured as follows. In the first part, a theoretical framework is provided, describing the main findings, in the literature, in terms of relationships among innovation, creativity and relational capital. The second part is based on the analysis of two case studies. The first case (Coswell), the very different degree of success (in terms of generated income) of its products seems to be tightly related on how much "relational capital" is "inside" the innovation. In the second case (Pastificio Rana) shows that innovation resulting from relational capital allows the company to excel against its far bigger and financially superior competitors.展开更多
