Summary: This study examined the factors influencing life satisfaction and the two theoretical models, bottom-up and top-down, in a large-scale UK survey. The results showed support for both models, with demographics, areas of life satisfaction, and personality traits explaining a significant portion of the variance in overall life satisfaction. The authors suggested future research should consider an integrated perspective on life satisfaction instead of solely focusing on bottom-up or top-down approaches.

Summary: The study explored factors contributing to turnover among kindergarten teachers, finding that older age, having a spouse, good mental health, and high work engagement are associated with higher willingness to continue working, while issues such as marriage, health and family problems, overtime work, and workplace childcare concerns can lead to a lack of willingness to continue working. Interventions such as relationship counseling may positively impact teachers' mental health and job satisfaction, suggesting that welfare benefits and individual support systems could be key in retaining kindergarten teachers.

Summary: This study explores the relationship between marine economic growth, technological innovation, and industrial upgrading in China from 2006 to 2016 using a vector error correction model (VECM). The results show that in the long term, marine economic growth positively influences marine technological innovation, and vice versa; however, neither of them promote industrial upgrading. It is also found that the shift from secondary industry to tertiary industry may hinder marine technological innovation, which is concerning given the current service-oriented trend in China's marine industry.

Summary: Increased residential energy consumption and reduced income during the COVID-19 lockdown measures have worsened energy poverty in vulnerable communities. To address this, six relief measures are proposed: consistent financing for energy suppliers and consumers, various forms of socio-economic assistance, leveraging fiscal stimuli to promote renewable energy transition, identifying vulnerable populations to improve policy effectiveness, designing equitable resource allocation mechanisms, and rethinking socio-economic transition in the post-pandemic era.

Summary: As Internet usage has become more prevalent, digital inequalities have worsened in recent decades. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a surge in internet usage, but it also revealed an increase in digital inequalities in the labor market. The study examines how the pandemic affected Chinese workers' internet usage and how this varied across socioeconomic groups. The findings show that the pandemic significantly increased overall internet usage in China, deepening digital inequalities in the labor market, particularly among younger, wealthier workers in urban areas. Furthermore, internet usage increased among employees in state-owned enterprises, indicating a growing digital inequality gap between these enterprises and other sectors.

Summary: China's renewable energy innovation is crucial for achieving carbon neutrality targets and the low-carbon transition, but research on its characteristics and spillover effects has been limited. This study examines the distribution and trends of renewable energy innovation from a spatiotemporal perspective and identifies the factors that significantly impact its development using China's provincial panel data from 2006 to 2019. The findings reveal distinct spatial differences in renewable energy innovation across provinces, positive spatial correlation, and the significance of R&D investment and GDP per capita. More market-oriented policies and regional coordination mechanisms are recommended for enhancing renewable energy innovation.

Summary: This study explores the effects of financial market development and environmental policy stringency on renewable energy innovation and whether renewable innovation differs with levels of stringency of environmental policy and levels of development of the financial market. The results show that as financial development increases, its impact gradually declines, and that as environmental policy becomes more stringent, its impact rapidly increases. This study confirms the validity of the Porter Hypothesis and the financial development effect on renewable innovation in OECD countries.
