This paper describes the theory of evolutionary economics in the context of pharmaceutical R&D. In this context, the R&D productivity crisis acts as a key selection mechanism, and R&D, technology and industry trends provide mechanisms of variation. Drawing on today's prevailing business model among leading pharmaceutical companies, the biotech-leveraged pharma company (BIPCO), I propose two new value creation logics: the technology-investigating pharma company (TIPCO) and the asset-integrating pharma company (AIPCO). Although some companies already share aspects of these business models, it is not yet clear, in terms of evolutionary economics, what the ultimate outcome of the evolutionary process in pharma R&D will be.

An investigation of the evolutionary characteristics and internal driving mechanisms of territorial space since the reform and opening up is essential. The study will guide the orderly development and rational layout of territorial space, as well as achievement transformation and high-quality development in Shanxi Province. We used land use data from 1980 to 2020, which was divided into four periods, to examine the changes in production-living-ecological spatial pattern in Shanxi Province.

Given the ubiquitous nature of love, numerous theories have been proposed to explain its existence. One such theory refers to love as a commitment device, suggesting that romantic love evolved to foster commitment between partners and enhance their reproductive success. In the present study, we investigated this hypothesis using a large-scale sample of 86,310 individual responses collected across 90 countries.

Global warming caused by carbon emissions has become a significant concern for countries worldwide. This study thoroughly examines the spatiotemporal patterns and spatial spillover effects of carbon emissions in China. This research employs kernel density estimation, Moran's index, and the standard deviation ellipse model to analyse the spatiotemporal evolution of carbon emissions in China while utilizing the spatial Durbin model to explore the spatial spillover effects of the digital economy on carbon emissions.

Many countries in the world have pledged to achieve net-zero emissions goals, implementing a range of relevant policies. As the key implementers in these initiatives, the collaboration between government and enterprise is crucial for the realization of net-zero emissions goals and better sustainable environment. However, the heterogeneous interests of these stakeholders often lead to a game.

This study aims to analyze the evolutionary characteristics and development levels of regional ice and snow tourist destinations by integrating the Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) within an Internet of Things (IoT) framework. Data from multiple sources are gathered through web scraping technology from various online platforms and are then subjected to cleaning, standardization, and normalization. A feature recognition model for ice and snow tourism is constructed based on a BPNN combined with a Spatial-Temporal Graph Convolutional Network (ST-GCN) algorithm.
