Conceptual Overview of Energy Security
In a dynamically changing socio-economic environment with significant technical and technological progress, the notion of energy security takes on a new, broader meaning. Modern literature presents a variety of operational definitions of energy security. Most authors dealing with the issue of energy security expose its different aspects while standing in opposition to competing concepts. As a result, literature that addresses the problems of energy policy is becoming a platform for debates on the essence of energy security and the applicability of its various approaches to individual situations. There is no unanimity among authors with regard to the theoretical framework or the components of this notion. However, the issue of diversity of views is quite typical in social sciences and should not be taken negatively. Despite this, and perhaps contrary to the definitional wealth, experts in the field of energy policy constantly stress the necessity and urgency of undertaking work on the conceptualization of energy security.

E-Commerce Development and Green Technology Innovation
Green technology innovation (GTI) is critical for economic development and environmental protection. A heterogeneity analysis demonstrates that the NEDC policy’s influence on GTI is more pronounced in larger cities with a higher degree of marketization and increased levels of human capital. Moreover, the NEDC policy exhibits spatial spillover effects, supporting GTI advancement in both local cities and neighboring regions.

Technical efficiency is, apart from allocative efficiency, a component of economic efficiency in the assessment of the activity of each enterprise or project. In the most general sense, it means the ratio of the output achieved to the inputs incurred to achieve it, and in the case of a multidimensional sum of outputs, to the sum of inputs. It describes how inputs are transformed into outputs or inputs into a sum of outputs.

The Optimal Supply Chain Network Design
Minimizing a company's operational risk by optimizing the performance of the manufacturing and distribution supply chain is a complex task that involves multiple elements, each with their own supply line constraints. Traditional approaches to optimization often assume determinism as the underlying principle. In this study, the implications of decision making, and causal uncertainties have been considered and analyzed for their impact on the system response.
