Design/methodology/approach: The analysis framework includes the following steps: l) co-classification analysis based on the International Patent Classification (IPC) codes and Derwent Manual Codes (DMC) to detect sub-tech fields, 2) keyword co-occurrence analysis aiming to understand the core technology information in each patent, and 3) social network analysis used for identifying important technologies and partnerships of key assignees. A case study was conducted with 27,401 chemistry patents filed by a Chinese national research institute. Findings: The results show that this framework is effective in building potential technological patent portfolios based on patents owned by different assignees and identifying future collaborators for the assignees. This integrated approach based on topic identification and correlation analysis that combines network-based analysis with keyword-based analysis can reveal important patented technologies and their connections and help understand detailed technological information mentioned in patents. Research limitations: In keywords analysis, only titles and abstracts of patent documents were used and weights of keywords in different parts of the documents were not considered.Practical implications: The analysis framework provides valuable information for decision- makers of large institutions which have many patents with broad application prospects. Originality/value: Different from previous patent portfolio studies based on the use of a combination of patent analysis indicators, this study provides insights into a method of building patent portfolios to discover the potential of individual patents in technology transfer and promote cooperation among different patent assignees.展开更多

It is helpful for students to survive and develop to create the topic space of campus. Taking the topic space of college campuses in Lishui City of Zhejiang Province as an example, the current situations are analyzed through questionnaire survey and field visit. The results show that uni- versity campus space needs a clear topic; the demands are generally large for the topics of exchange and communication, learning and thinking, sports and leisure in all kinds of space; the creation of these types of topic spaces should focus on the peaceful environment, beautiful scenery, privacy of the space and WlFI coverage.展开更多

摘要Background:An estimated 10 to 30 percent of people who become infected with Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 will experience persistent symptoms after recovering from Coronavirus Disease 2019(COVID-19),which is known as Long COVID.Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter are the primary sources to gather and examine people’s opinion and sentiments towards various topics.Methods:In this paper,we aimed to examine sentiments,discover key themes and associated topics in Long COVID-related messages posted by Twitter users in the US between March 2022 and April 2022 using sentiment analysis and topic modeling.Results:A total of 117,789 tweets were examined,of which three dominant themes were identified,ranging from symptoms to social and economic impacts,and preventive measures.We also found that more negative sentiments were expressed in the tweets by users toward long-term COVID-19.Conclusions:Our research throws light on dominant themes,topics and sentiments surrounding the ongoing public health crisis.From the insights gained,we discuss the major implications of this study for health practitioners and policymakers.
摘要生成式人工智能正深刻变革教育,相关研究文献不断涌现。文章通过收集知网、Scopus和Web of Science中与研究主题相关的中英文文献,利用BERTopic主题建模技术对文献进行主题聚类,挖掘国内外高等教育中生成式人工智能的研究主题,分析研究现状,为教育领域的教学实践和学术研究提供参考。研究结果表明:在个性化学习与人机协同方面,生成式人工智能通过制定个性化学习路径显著提升教学效果;师生对生成式人工智能的接受程度受技术认知和使用体验等因素制约,并直接影响应用成效;教育创新需平衡技术赋能与过度依赖问题;教学设计与课程实践的革新更多体现在教学模式和资源生成方式上,但必须同步构建学术伦理防护与治理机制;人工智能时代亟须人才培养结构的优化升级,要求教育者重新定义核心能力目标。
