Research on the Path to Achieving Equalization of Basic Public Services in Zhejiang Province

The current situation that the total supply of basic public services in rural areas of Zhejiang Province is insufficient and unbalanced with the demand determines the need to conduct an in-depth study on the equalization of basic services in rural areas. The article uses the entropy power method and the Thiel index method to analyze the level of basic public service equalization and the least squares method to conduct regression analysis, and finally proposes practical suggestions for the equalization of basic public services. The study finds that the overall level of basic public service equalization in Zhejiang Province during 2018-2021 is showing an upward trend, the level of basic public facility equalization is on the rise, basic public education maintains a relatively stable trend, while the level of basic medical and health equalization is affected by factors such as epidemics and the development is relatively stable, and the level of basic social security equalization is all increasing. Among the 11 cities in Zhejiang, Hangzhou has the highest level of equalization of basic services. Through the regression we can learn that both the economic level and the financial level have positive effects on the equalization of basic public services.

Research on the Status Quo of Entrepreneurship and Policy Support System of Returning College Students Under the Background of Rural Revitalization Strategy:Based on Research in Zhejiang Province

In recent times, the proportion of college students returning to their hometowns to start businesses has increased year by year, but the success rate of college students returning to their hometowns to start a business is not impressive. Based on questionnaire surveys and case interviews of college students who have returned to start a business in Zhejiang Province, this article finds that the financing loan policy for college students to return to their hometown to start a business is not yet sound, and the policy supply is out of balance with actual demand; the application conditions and approval process for entrepreneurial subsidies are complicated and it is difficult to obtain subsidies. The satisfaction of entrepreneurs in townships is low; the entrepreneurs who return to their hometowns of college students have little understanding of the content of various policies, and the government does not promote the policies in place. In this regard, it is necessary to increase policy publicity and expand the scope of policy influence, establish financial credit support policies that meet the actual needs of returning home entrepreneurs college students, broaden financing channels, improve entrepreneurship training systems, improve entrepreneurship environment and enhance return home entrepreneurship college students’ satisfaction.

An Investigation on the Prevailing HRM Factors Influencing the Normal Existence of SMEs in the Economic Development Atmosphere of Sierra Leone

This research’s purpose was to look into the human resource management practices of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Sierra Leone. The author focuses on the relationship between human resource management practices and the performance of SMEs, including wages, employment, and sales. The qualitative data was gathered through in-depth interviews, while the quantitative data was gathered through questionnaires. The data was analyzed with the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) using descriptive statistical analysis and bivariate correlation techniques. Graphs were also created in Microsoft Excel to present the findings.Statistical analysis of the survey data revealed that the majority of Sierra Leonean SMEs ensure that their employees are aware of formalized rules. This research contributes to our understanding of the impact of human resource management practices on the performance of SMEs in Sierra Leone. The findings of the study revealed significant links between recruitment and selection practices and the performance of SMEs in general (growth in profit, sales and increased productivity).The main limitations of the study were a lack of time and money, self-reporting, a limited number of dependent and independent variables, the use of questionnaires rather than semi-structured interviews, and a lack of adequate sampling frames.

Analysis on Influencing Factors of Services Satisfaction with Family Doctors and Contract Signing----Take Hangzhou as an Example

This research is financed by the 2019 Zhejiang University of Science and Technology extracurricular Science and Technology Innovation and Practice project; Science and Technology Innovation Activity Plan for Zhejiang province University Students in 2020 (Grant No.2020R415022);Innovation and Entrepreneurship Training Program for University Students of Zhejiang University of Science and Technology in 2020(Grant No.2020-CXCY033); National Innovation and Entrepreneurship Training Plan for College Students in 2020(Grant No.202011057033). Abstract Family doctors, as an important part of primary medical care, are the cornerstone for the full implementation of the Healthy China policy and the realization of health for all in 2030. In order to understand the current situation of family doctor service and contract signing in Hangzhou, on the basis of a questionnaire survey with residents in various districts of Hangzhou, the importance matrix was adopted to analyze the satisfaction of contracted residents, principal component analysis and binary logistic regression were used to explore the influencing factors of signing the contract, it has been found that the service level, medical guidance, derivative services and future development significantly influenced the residents' intention to sign contracts. According to the research and analysis, some suggestions have been proposed to further improve the family doctor policy.

Analysis of the Relationship Between Trade Openness and Economic Growth in the Caribbean: A Case Study of the 3B2GD Countries

In recent times, small island countries in the Caribbean region have been fully devoted to the consolidation and development of both regional and international investments and trade corporations. Likewise, tremendous economic growth has also been witnessed in some of these trade collaborating countries. Thus, it is essential that the effect of the recent boost of economy in the region is empirically analyzed in order to ascertain if this is a product of the recent openness to trade in the region. Therefore, in this study, we applied the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds test of cointegration and the Granger causality tests in order to empirically investigate the dynamic relationship between trade openness and economic growth in the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Guyana, Grenada and Dominica (3B2GD) for the period from 2000 to 2019. The empirical results show that trade openness has significant effect on economic growth as there exist a long run relationship between trade openness and economic growth.  Also, the results of the bounds test of cointegration confirms that in the 3B2GB economies, there is an existence of a bi-directional causality from trade openness to economic growth. Similarly, an evidence of uni-directional causality between trade openness and output growth is observed from the investigation, mostly with regards to Guyana. To further examine the long- and short-run coefficients, we analyzed the cumulative sum of recursive residuals (CUSUM) and the cumulative sum of squared residuals (CUSUMQ) plots for the respective 3B2GD economies. The results of the residual plots show that the parameters of the estimated ARDL models are stable. Keywords - Trade openness, ARDL, economic growth, cointegration, CUSUM, Granger causality.

RGM: A Robust Generalist Matching Model

Finding corresponding pixels within a pair of images is a fundamental computer vision task with various applications. Due to the specific requirements of different tasks like optical flow estimation and local feature matching, previous works are primarily categorized into dense matching and sparse feature matching focusing on specialized architectures along with task-specific datasets, which may somewhat hinder the generalization performance of specialized models. In this paper, we propose a deep model for sparse and dense matching, termed RGM (Robust Generalist Matching). In particular, we elaborately design a cascaded GRU module for refinement by exploring the geometric similarity iteratively at multiple scales following an additional uncertainty estimation module for sparsification. To narrow the gap between synthetic training samples and real-world scenarios, we build a new, large-scale dataset with sparse correspondence ground truth by generating optical flow supervision with greater intervals. As such, we are able to mix up various dense and sparse matching datasets, significantly improving the training diversity. The generalization capacity of our proposed RGM is greatly improved by learning the matching and uncertainty estimation in a two-stage manner on the large, mixed data. Superior performance is achieved for zero-shot matching and downstream geometry estimation across multiple datasets, outperforming the previous methods by a large margin.Comment: 17 pages.
