“…Its impact on the economy, politics and daily life has been unprecedented. The global scale of the pandemic is complex in nature because the interdependence of the planet has dramatically increased over the past 30 years ( Gomez et al , 2013 ; Ductor and Leiva-Leon, 2016 ). The coronavirus pandemic can be called a ‘black swan’, as defined by the complexity theory ( Taleb, 2010 ).…”

This article addresses the experiences of Finnish frontline social workers during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020. Two questions are addressed. First, ‘what types of challenges social work professionals faced’ in their everyday, ‘glocal’ pandemic setting and, second, what types of solutions they developed to meet these challenges. The data consist of 33 personal diaries that social work professionals created from mid-March to the end of May 2020. The diaries are analysed by a thematic content analysis and placed within the framework of a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats analysis. The results suggest that the pandemic challenged social work at all levels, from face-to-face interactions to its global relations. The pandemic revealed not only the number of existing problems of social work, but also created new types of challenges. It demanded ultimate resilience from social workers and a new type of adaptive governance from social welfare institutions.

“…At the same time, it has a macro-level qualitative effect on an in-depth study of the flow between factors. Therefore, the similarity of industrial structure is often used by scholars to compare the structure between regions or industries themselves to derive some general conclusions, thus providing some inspiration for promoting sustainable development of other regions [36,37].…”

The importance of sustainable development of the mineral resources industry is self-evident for the reason of that China’s primary energy consumption structure has not changed. While the development level is not only affected by resource endowment, but also by technology. At this important historical stage—namely, transforming China’s economic growth mode—how to effectively conduct the supply-side reform has a remarkable strategic significance to the national sustainable economic development goal. In general, if we want to seek a sustainable development path for a mineral resource-intensive region, we must answer the binary contradictory relationship between the mineral resources industry. In order to accomplish these targets, we constructed five index layers and selected 14 specific indicators according to the production function followed by using Kolmogorov entropy. Then, we calculated the Pierce coefficient of different industries and the transfer entropy of production factors of some representative industry in different categories. In this way, the structural similarities or differences in the distribution of production factors are empirically examined. The results of our study showed that the industrial layout of the target case—Jiaozuo City—has not been qualitatively changed, most of its industries is still dominated by resources and labor-based enterprises; at the same time, in terms of production factors structure, resource-based industries are not similar to others showing that similarities and differentiation coexisted; the results of transfer entropy revealed that the reason why differences in similarity mainly are R&D expenditures, total investment in fixed assets, and coal consumption.

“…Base on the concept of graph theory and complex network theory, countries can be regarded as nodes, the business cycle synchronization linkages of each country can be regarded as the connecting edges of nodes, and thus the BCSN is formed [ 21 ]. In empirical studies, pairwise correlation coefficient matrices can be used to represent the business cycle synchronization between different economies, and the topological structure of the BCSN can be studied by using complex network analysis method [ 12 , 25 ].…”

Based on the GDP constant 2010 US$ from the World Bank, this paper uses the instantaneous quasi-correlation coefficient to measure the business cycle synchronization linkages among 53 Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) economies from 2000 to 2019, and empirically studies the topological characteristics of the Business Cycle Synchronization Network (BCSN) with the help of complex network analysis method. The main conclusions are as follows: First, the BCSN density and efficiency of BRI economies are still low, and it presents a topological feature of “small world”. Second, the individual characteristics of the economies in the network are obviously different. Among them, China’s relative influence is significantly increased, but its betweenness centrality level is still low. Third, since the inception of BRI, the topological characteristics of BCSN of BRI economies have undergone great changes, and their topological evolution has gradually reflected the characteristic of self-stability.
