The Pro-Poorness of Economic Growth in Rural China
Based on the pro-poor index and pro-poor curve measurement method of economic growth, this research uses the data of Chinese Family Panel Studies to measure the pro-poorness of economic growth in rural areas of China. Optimizing the pro-poorness of economic growth requires active family support policies to enable workers to better balance family and work responsibilities, and adopt target location strategies to give special care to families with special difficulties while increasing investment in public services.

Evaluating the Creative Economy by Contingent Valuation Method
The effectiveness of the economic policies implemented by a country/region directly affects its economic growth potential. Cultural Heritage Festivals are a sector of the creative economy that, by promoting culture, may have a significant impact on national/regional sustainable economic development. The Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) is an appropriate method for evaluating festivals and suggest that females, spectators with high incomes and high educational levels, and visitors to Kalamata (non-residents) show an increased Willingness To Pay. These findings can be useful to cultural heritage festival organizers in developing appropriate policy strategies: targeting the social groups with the greatest Willingness To Pay; adjusting the pricing mechanism accordingly; modifying annual memberships/donations/sponsorships, indirect resources, and tax revenues and grants; and optimizing investments and allocating resources.

Geoparks and International Dark Sky Parks
In the digital age, effective website promotion plays a pivotal role in attracting visitors to alternative forms of tourism. Geopark websites adeptly promote geotourism through a diverse array of digital tools, with the potential for minor enhancements. In contrast, the majority of dark sky park websites exhibit limited visibility in the promotion of astronomical tourism. These identified criteria and results serve as crucial benchmarks for optimizing the websites of UNESCO Global Geoparks and International Dark Sky Parks, thus ensuring the comprehensive fulfillment of established promotional standards for alternative tourism destinations.

Village Business Sustainability in Indonesia
Village-owned enterprises are expected to be a forum for village business groups to develop their economic potential. The village-owned enterprises runs a business that resembles the business fields of the villagers. This situation has unconsciously created a sense of competition for both parties. The atmosphere of competition between the two business entities has the potential to hinder the growth of the village’s local economy. Village-owned enterprises evaluate their business activities and build a cooperation network for the sustainability of rural businesses.

Heritage and Artificial Neural Networks
The classification of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Sites (WHS) is essential for promoting sustainable tourism and ensuring the long-term conservation of cultural and natural heritage sites. Therefore, two commonly used techniques for classification problems, multilayer perceptron (MLP) and radial basis function (RBF) neural networks, were utilized to define the pros and cons of their applications.

Socioeconomic, Demographic and Technological Factors' Effects on Accidents
To effectively prevent fatal accidents, it is crucial to develop strategies grounded in a thorough understanding of the various contributing factors. These encompass a range of elements from human behavior and vehicle malfunctions to environmental conditions and broader macrosocioeconomic influences. Extensive research has demonstrated a mutual coordination between road transportation and economics, highlighting how economic status can influence regional disparities in crash occurrences. This underscores the importance of considering a diverse array of factors in devising comprehensive accident prevention strategies.

Inter-Professional Communication in Complex IT Project Teams
Organizational IT projects are becoming more complex, not only because of the time-to-market pressure and increased complexity of the specific IT problems they have to solve, but also because of the diversity of their team members. Besides cultural (language) diversity in the global context, there are two additional types of diversity: diversity of organization management (linked to project versus organization tensions), which is common to all organizational projects, and the professional diversity in particular, proper to IT projects. Amid all advantages of varied standpoints, the diversity might come with seeds of misunderstandings in communication, tensions, and even latent conflicts, which (if not timely and properly addressed) may lead to escalating conflicts.

System Dynamics-Based Interactive Learning Environment for Formative (Self-)Assessment
An online system dynamics-based interactive learning environment (ILE) can be designed to assess the trainees' capabilities, in accordance with the formative assessment paradigm. Through a simulated business environment, trainees have the opportunity to virtually manage their own company (system) while taking on various roles that mirror real-life scenarios related to the phenomenon analyzed by the ILE. The ILE has a feature that allows the assessment of such capabilities by measuring key indicators that determine the feasibility, effectiveness, and efficiency of their decision-making when running a firm within a specific operational context. From this standpoint, implementing a practical approach that enables trainees to confidently evaluate their capabilities in a protected environment (simulations) would produce the following different benefits for them: a) Personalized Learning: Interactive learning environments can adapt to suit trainees' individual learning styles, making the learning experience more personalized and effective; b) Interactive Learning Experience: Interactive learning environments offer learners the opportunity to engage actively in the learning process, facilitating better retention of knowledge; c) Real-time Feedback: Interactive learning environments provide learners with instant feedback, which helps them to identify gaps in their knowledge and improve immediately; d) Collaborative Learning: Interactive learning environments encourage learners to work collaboratively, which has proven benefits for memory retention and enhanced peer learning.
