AI Article Synopsis

  • * This study analyzes Chinese A-share listed companies from 2007 to 2022, integrating Online Public Opinion into deep learning models to create a public opinion attention index that measures how investor sentiment influences green investment decisions.
  • * Findings indicate that as companies undergo digital transformation, their green investments increase, with Online Public Opinion positively amplifying this effect, particularly in state-owned enterprises and companies with strong tech capabilities.

Article Abstract

The digital economy is rising at an unprecedented pace, becoming a key driver of the comprehensive transformation and upgrading of the global economy and society. Existing research widely demonstrates the multifaceted positive impacts of green investment on corporate development. However, amid the wave of digital transformation, in-depth studies on how digital transformation specifically influences corporate green investment decisions-particularly from the emerging perspective of Online Public Opinion attention-remain insufficient. To address this gap, this study focuses on data from Chinese A-share listed companies between 2007 and 2022. It innovatively integrates the perspective of Online Public Opinion attention, utilizing the powerful capabilities of deep learning models in artificial intelligence to construct a public opinion attention index. This index aims to accurately and comprehensively capture the dynamic changes in investor sentiment and attention, thereby exploring the relationship between public opinion attention, corporate digital transformation, and green investment behavior. Empirical analysis shows that as corporate digital transformation progresses, investments in environmentally sustainable projects increase. Moreover, attention from online public opinion attention positively influences this relationship. The combination of digital transformation and online public opinion attention exhibits a synergistic effect in promoting environmentally friendly investments. Mechanism analysis reveals that public opinion attention influences corporate green investment through pathways involving digital transformation and public attention to environmental protection. Heterogeneity analysis results indicate that state-owned enterprises show a positive effect on their green investments during the digital transformation process. For companies with strong technological capabilities, digital transformation also significantly drives green investment. Additionally, the impact of digital transformation in promoting environmentally friendly investments is particularly pronounced in the economically developed eastern regions of China, while it is relatively weaker in the less-developed central and western regions. Furthermore, robustness and endogeneity tests confirm the reliability of these conclusions. This study not only enriches the theoretical research in the fields of digital transformation and green investment but also provides new tools for companies to consider Online Public Opinion Attention during their digital transformation process.

Assistant Professor, State Key Laboratory of Oral & Maxillofacial Reconstruction and Regeneration, National Clinical Research Center for Oral Diseases, Shaanxi Key Laboratory of Stomatology, Department of Prosthodontics,School of Stomatology, The Fourth Military Medical University, Xi'an, Shaanxi, PR China. Electronic address:

Statement Of Problem: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has been used in clinical dentistry because of its excellent physical and biological properties. However, achieving an effective and durable bond with enamel is challenging because of its chemical inertness and low surface energy, and data on the effects of different surface treatments on the durability of PEEK-enamel bonds are scarce.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate airborne-particle abrasion, sulfuric acid etching, and the combined use of these treatments on the bonding durability of PEEK-enamel bonds and to gain a deeper understanding of their bonding mechanism.

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate maxillary dental midline shifts and mandibular asymmetries created in different amounts and directions on photographs taken from 7 different angles by different groups and to determine acceptable esthetic limits.

Methods: Photographs of a female model in a social smile position were taken from 7 different angles (0° [frontal], 15°, 30°, and 45° on the right and left sides) and digitally modified for maxillary dental and mandibular midline deviations at specified degrees using Adobe Photoshop. To enable participants to evaluate the photographs sequentially, the photographs were transformed into videos using Adobe Premiere Pro software.

Background: This study aimed to (1) summarise research on the impact of peer support interventions aimed at improving psychosocial functioning among cancer survivors, and (2) identify key components for developing a support intervention for patients with a rare cancer living in rural, regional or remote areas.

Methods: A comprehensive search of EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library identified papers that examined peer support interventions: (i) for rare cancer patients, or (ii) for those living in rural, regional or remote locations, or (iii) that provided support online or via telehealth. After screening, data on study characteristics, intervention components and impact on psychosocial functioning were extracted.

Background: New models of care that integrate health and social care provision around the patient require a supportive infrastructure, including interorganizational arrangements and information systems. While public policies have been designed to facilitate visions of integrated care, these often neglect the implementation of effective and efficient delivery mechanisms.

Method: This study examines a decade of attempts to move from fragmented health and care delivery to integrated care at scale in NHS England by developing and implementing a support infrastructure.
