Green Innovation and Industry and Talent
With increasing pressure on industry resulting from the need for ecological and environmental protection and sustainable development, green innovation development has gradually become a central issue of concern. With predictions of “peak” carbon, the need for carbon neutrality, and the requirement to pursue sustainable development goals, green innovation is not only important for the high-quality growth of the pharmaceutical industry but also represents an impetus to develop high-level talent. The promotion of the further coordination and integration of industry and talent through green innovation is an important issue in contemporary industrial economic development.

Forest Certification
Forest certification may verify sustainable development practices in primary forest production. However, certification of privately owned forest lands cannot be taken for granted, as it is associated with the demands and challenges of forest management. Despite these challenges, some private owners of forest lands chose to certify their operations.

Recycling Model Selection for Electronic Products
Electronics are different from general durable products. With the rapid development of electronic technology, the replacement of electronic products is extremely fast. Although it can bring us an improvement in the quality of life, the frequency of elimination is higher than that of other products. If the discarded electronic products cannot be disposed of in time, it will bring serious pollution damage to the ecological environment.Electronic products are products with high recycling value, which have three attributes of fast replacement, environmental pollution and resource reuse. Therefore, in order to reduce the impact of waste electronics on the environment, it is very important to properly recycle waste electronics.The recycling of waste electronic products is a problem to be solved in practice and theory. The first and foremost problem to be solved for waste electronic products is the choice of recycling model for the manufacturer. There are two main types of manufacturer recycling, one is self-recycling by the manufacturer, the other is with the help of online platforms or third-party recycling. In addition to the choice of recycling model, the opaque recycling process, lax supervision and other problems easily affect consumers' trust in the recycling of waste products. Consumers returned used products, but not all of them reached the manufacturer, and the actual recycling of waste products was far less than the theoretical recycling. As a distributed accounting technology blockchain has the characteristics of visibility,tamper-proof, traceability, decentralization, and the high reliability of the system, which can verify transactions on peer-to-peer networks and achieve security, transparency, low transaction costs,and the automation of transactions. The trust of consumers by using the visibility and traceability features blockchain technology can be increased to enable the real and effective recycling of waste products.

Management System (Open Source)
Management System (Open Source) is a socio-technical system that leverages the cumulative knowledge of management practitioners and evidenced based research from the past 130 years. The system was developed by DoD components in partnership with industry experts and academic researchers and builds off of the US Department of Wars version 1.0 open source management system - Training Within Industry. The system integrates the four organizational components of Product, Structure, Process and People. In addition, the system is based on the 4 capabilities of rapid problem solving underlying the Toyota Production System: Derived from the original research of Steven J. Spear (Harvard Business School, Massachusetts Institute for Technology), the system balances the two dimensions of high performing organizations: integrate the whole (product, structure, process & people); and increase the rate of problem solving to manage the whole (4 capabilities outlined above). Fundamentally, the system sets the standards of management by outlining a doctrine of rules, tactics, techniques, procedures & terms. The standards are intended to motivate change by creating a tension between the organization's "current condition" and the "ideal condition" (i.e. True North). The objective of the system is to deliver more value, in less time, at less cost relative to the competition (better, faster, cheaper). For the DoD, competition is defined by the threats posed by current and potential adversaries.

Click Farm
A click farm is a form of click fraud, where a large group of low-paid workers are hired to click on paid advertising links for the click fraudster (click farm master or click farmer). The workers click the links, surf the target website for a period of time, and possibly sign up for newsletters prior to clicking another link. For many of these workers, clicking on enough ads per day may increase their revenue substantially and may also be an alternative to other types of work. It is extremely difficult for an automated filter to detect this simulated traffic as fake because the visitor behavior appears exactly the same as that of an actual legitimate visitor. Fake likes generating from click farms are essentially different from those arising from bots where computer programs are written by software experts. To deal with such issues, companies such as Facebook are trying to create algorithms that seek to wipe out accounts with unusual activity (e.g. liking too many pages in a short period of time).
