“…Indeed, these results provide insights into the temporality of collective memory and attention, which could have potential real-world consequences ranging from performance in sports (Yucesoy & Barabási, 2016), arts (Fraiberger et al, 2018), and science (Candia et al, 2019; Higham et al, 2017a; Wang et al, 2013) to the resilience of a country experiencing trauma (Mehl & Pennebaker, 2003) or for developing efficient communication strategies to improve policy awareness (Cunico et al, 2021). To understand the communicative and cultural memory mechanisms of collective forgetting in other domains, Coman (2019) provides a brilliant example.…”

How long will this article be remembered? How long will people reference it in their conversations, and for how many years will other authors cite its findings in their own works? A community’s attention to a cultural object decays as time passes, a process known as collective forgetting. Recent work models this decay as the result of two different processes. One linked to communicative memory—memories sustained by human communication—and the other linked to cultural memory—memories sustained by the physical recording of content. Collective forgetting has significant impacts on communities, yet little is known about how the collective forgetting dynamic changes over time. Here, we study the temporal changes of collective memory and attention by focusing on two knowledge communities: inventors and physicists. We use data on patents from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and physics papers published by the American Physical Society (APS) to quantify those changes over time. The model enables us to distinguish between two branches of forgetting. One branch is short-lived, going directly from communicative memory to oblivion. The other branch is long-lived, going from communicative memory to cultural memory before going on to oblivion. The data analysis shows an increase in the forgetting rate for both communities as the amount of information in each of them grows. That growth of information forces knowledge communities to increase their selectivity regarding what is stored in their cultural memory. These findings confirm the forgetting as annulment hypothesis and show that knowledge communities can slow down collective forgetting and improve selectivity processes.

“…The highest decline within the old member state was in Sweden. Although since 2010, the EU average citizen's awareness of projects funded by the EU has slowly increased (Figure 2), it should be noted that there was a significant decline in awareness before 2010, when the EU's average awareness reached its peak of almost 50% (this dynamic of awareness is analysed by Cunico et al, 2021).…”

European identity is recognised as an important element of the European Union's (EU) sustainability. It can be influenced by economic benefits from EU membership and a combination of historical, cultural, social, economic, and political factors. The paper focuses on identifying the relationship between citizens' identification with the EU and Cohesion policy expenditures as perhaps one of the most visible benefits of EU membership at the regional level. Results of econometric analysis reveal that citizens' identification with the EU is higher in regions with higher EU funds expenditures and better socio-economic situation. European identity seems to be positively influenced by perceived EU benefits, understanding how the EU works, and persuasion that country interests are considered in the EU. Moreover, we confirm the positive relationship between awareness of Cohesion policy and identification with the EU.

“…Koubaa [68] extended the application of SD to the domain of military purchasing. Cunico et al [69] applied SD to investigate European citizens' awareness of cohesion policy intervention to increase the understanding of the underlying mechanism. Khurshid and Khan [70] simulated the impact of the COVID-19 on GDP, energy consumption, and climate change using SD.…”

As China's economy becomes more robust, the government has emphasized the need to increase the civil aviation industry's rapid development and reduce civil aviation's technological gap compared to other advanced aircraft manufacturers. The use of the appropriate technologies in the aviation industry can help achieve the government's plan of creating more jobs and increasing its revenue through the civil aviation industry. However, emerging technologies' uncertainty and dynamic nature have led to significant challenges when these technologies are applied to the aviation manufacturing industry. This article applies the principles and methods of system dynamics based on the gradual-change factors of emerging technologies as identified through expert interviews to construct conceptual models depicting the gradual-change of emerging technologies in the aviation manufacturing field. Historical data from Shaanxi province were used to simulate and analyze the gradual development of emerging technologies. An analysis of the simulation results revealed that the rapid growth of competitive technologies in the growth process inhibits the gradual-change of emerging technologies. Also, increasing enterprise innovation capabilities, market demand expansion, and technology optimization significantly promote emerging technologies' development and application. Furthermore, the research result shows that competitive products and technologies influence the gradual development of emerging technologies. Finally, the results indicate that the civil aviation industry should optimize the performance and function of emerging technologies during the early development stage instead of at the market application stage.
