Research on Mode and Risk Prevention of Agricultural Supply Chain Finance based on E-commerce
The rapid development of e-commerce has a profound impact on agricultural supply chain finance (ASCF), which is of great significance to enhance the resilience of agricultural economic development, realize the poverty alleviation effect of agricultural enterprises, integrate agricultural supply chain resources and solve the financing difficulties of agricultural enterprises. We analyze the participants and functions of the ASCF mode based on e-commerce, and the contract framework of various participants when they operate in the ASCF platform in this paper. Based on the agricultural industry chain, we analyze the operation process of accounts receivable financing mode, inventory financing mode and prepayment financing mode based on E-commerce. Finally, in view of the natural risks, credit risks, logistics risks, technical risks and legal risks that may exist in ASCF based on e-commerce, the corresponding countermeasures are put forward from the aspects of dispersing natural risks, building digital credit risk assessment system, building agricultural logistics network system, improving technical risk monitoring system, and improving relevant laws and regulations policy recommendations
Research on agricultural supply chain finance supporting sustainable poverty reduction under the background of digital technology
From the perspective of financial services, management services and coordination services, this paper analyzes the internal mechanism of agricultural supply chain finance (ASCF) to help sustainable poverty reduction (SPR). The internal and external driving forces of ASCF for SPR are also explored. Among them, the internal driving forces include industrial upgrading and financial transformation; External driving forces include technological change, policy guidance and market drive. Based on the background of digital technology, the green agricultural supply chain finance (GASCF) model has been innovatively proposed. We mainly analyze the core elements and platform structure of GASCF, and focus on the process design and key points of the three modules of the GASCF platform: risk control port, credit port and capital port. Finally, we analyze the practical difficulties of green agricultural supply chain finance in helping sustainable poverty reduction, such as the lack of comprehensive management ability of the organization, the insufficient application of digital technology, the imperfect institutional environment and the lack of compound talents. And we put forward accordingly a four in one path of GASCF helping SPR, which is Government standardizing and leading, assistance from financial institutions, driven by industry subjects and Co governance of Social Service
Research on the Realization Path of Intelligent Logistics in the “New Retail” Era
New retail is the product of innovation and transformation of e-commerce, physical retail and modern logistics. New retail relies on omni-channel logistics based on supply chain integration, order-driven precise logistics service and high intensity urban distribution carrying capacity, which has brought huge impacts and development opportunities to the logistics industry. At present, there are limitations in China\u27s intelligent logistics, both in terms of logistics infrastructure construction, logistics information services, and regulatory guarantee systems, which restrict the development of new retail . In order to realize the high-quality support of new retail by intelligent logistics, a trinity of intelligent logistics construction path of government guidance, market leadership, and social co-governance is proposed. We should accelerate the construction of intelligent logistics infrastructure under the guidance of the government, give full play to the leading role of the market to build an intelligent logistics information platform, and build a multi-security logistics security system through joint governance of all sectors of society to meet the overall objective of the high-quality support of logistics for new retail
Research on the application of smart supply chain finance in the financing of private scientific and technological enterprises in China
Supply chain finance (SCF) has experienced the development stages of offline SCF, online traditional SCF, and Internet SCF, and has developed to the stage of smart supply chain finance (SSCF) driven by digital technology in China. We analyze the theoretical framework of SSCF model from three aspects: loose coupling alliance organizational structure, visual operation and management process and symbiotic multi-agent coordination mechanism. In the financing of private scientific and technological enterprises, SSCF will show smart effects such as intelligent decision-making, harmonious service, penetrating management and digital risk control. Further, the process of SSCF providing financing services for private scientific and technological enterprises is designed. Finally, in view of the problems and challenges faced by private scientific and technological enterprises in the application of SSCF, we put forward countermeasures and suggestions from the aspects of expanding the dimension of smart transformation, building a perfect regulatory system and legal system, and strengthening the cultivation of compound talents in this paper
Controlling Styles in Neural Machine Translation with Activation Prompt
Controlling styles in neural machine translation (NMT) has attracted wide
attention, as it is crucial for enhancing user experience. Earlier studies on
this topic typically concentrate on regulating the level of formality and
achieve some progress in this area. However, they still encounter two major
challenges. The first is the difficulty in style evaluation. The style
comprises various aspects such as lexis, syntax, and others that provide
abundant information. Nevertheless, only formality has been thoroughly
investigated. The second challenge involves excessive dependence on incremental
adjustments, particularly when new styles are necessary. To address both
challenges, this paper presents a new benchmark and approach. A multiway
stylized machine translation (MSMT) benchmark is introduced, incorporating
diverse categories of styles across four linguistic domains. Then, we propose a
method named style activation prompt (StyleAP) by retrieving prompts from
stylized monolingual corpus, which does not require extra fine-tuning.
Experiments show that StyleAP could effectively control the style of
translation and achieve remarkable performance.Comment: Accepted by Findings of ACL 2023; The code is available at

Curdlan Prevents the Cognitive Deficits Induced by a High-Fat Diet in Mice via the Gut-Brain Axis
A high-fat (HF) diet is a major predisposing factor of neuroinflammation and cognitive deficits. Recently, changes in the gut microbiota have been associated with neuroinflammation and cognitive impairment, through the gut-brain axis. Curdlan, a bacterial polysaccharide widely used as food additive, has the potential to alter the composition of the microbiota and improve the gut-brain axis. However, the effects of curdlan against HF diet-induced neuroinflammation and cognitive decline have not been investigated. We aimed to evaluate the neuroprotective effect and mechanism of dietary curdlan supplementation against the obesity-associated cognitive decline observed in mice fed a HF diet. C57Bl/6J male mice were fed with either a control, HF, or HF with curdlan supplementation diets for 7 days (acute) or 15 weeks (chronic). We found that acute curdlan supplementation prevented the gut microbial composition shift induced by HF diet. Chronic curdlan supplementation prevented cognitive declines induced by HF diet. In addition, curdlan protected against the HF diet-induced abnormities in colonic permeability, hyperendotoxemia, and colonic inflammation. Furthermore, in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and hippocampus, curdlan mitigated microgliosis, neuroinflammation, and synaptic impairments induced by a HF diet. Thus, curdlan-as a food additive and prebiotic-can prevent cognitive deficits induced by HF diet via the colon-brain axis
Dynamic Context-guided Capsule Network for Multimodal Machine Translation
Multimodal machine translation (MMT), which mainly focuses on enhancing
text-only translation with visual features, has attracted considerable
attention from both computer vision and natural language processing
communities. Most current MMT models resort to attention mechanism, global
context modeling or multimodal joint representation learning to utilize visual
features. However, the attention mechanism lacks sufficient semantic
interactions between modalities while the other two provide fixed visual
context, which is unsuitable for modeling the observed variability when
generating translation. To address the above issues, in this paper, we propose
a novel Dynamic Context-guided Capsule Network (DCCN) for MMT. Specifically, at
each timestep of decoding, we first employ the conventional source-target
attention to produce a timestep-specific source-side context vector. Next, DCCN
takes this vector as input and uses it to guide the iterative extraction of
related visual features via a context-guided dynamic routing mechanism.
Particularly, we represent the input image with global and regional visual
features, we introduce two parallel DCCNs to model multimodal context vectors
with visual features at different granularities. Finally, we obtain two
multimodal context vectors, which are fused and incorporated into the decoder
for the prediction of the target word. Experimental results on the Multi30K
dataset of English-to-German and English-to-French translation demonstrate the
superiority of DCCN. Our code is available on
