Due to lack of rational system design, an enormous amount of energy and resources are wasted or ineffectively utilized in China’s rural areas. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a practical energy system that applies to rural areas. In this paper, a Stackelberg game model is established for optimization of integrated energy system (IES) in rural areas. As a leader, new energy supplier (NES) develops price strategy for electricity and heat, the flexible users and biogas plant (BP) as followers receive price information and make energy consumption plans. Then NES adjusts equipment output based on followers’ feedback on energy loads. The objective of our Stackelberg game is to maximize the profit of NES while taking into account the costs of followers. Furthermore, our study designs an improved differential evolutionary algorithm (DEA) to achieve Stackelberg balance. The optimization scheduling result shows that the proposed model can obviously increase the profit of NES by 5.4% and effectively decrease the cost of biogas plant by 4.5%.

The late 1990s saw the rise of social media, which changed how people consumed and disseminated information. Youth find social networking sites to be quite appealing and popular, and they frequently spend a lot of time using the platforms’ communication affordances. Since McLuhan contended in the 20th century that technologies aid in extending human capacity, media technologies have been seen as empowering and freeing. In the media and communication sectors, technologies have made it easier for humans to manipulate mechanical and electrical processes. This study employs secondary data in this context, having researched pertinent literature, papers, and assessed them in the direction of the existing literature in order to probe the topic of inquiry. The majority of the information in the study comes from secondary sources, which provided concrete sources of insight into the analysis. These sources included pertinent texts, journals, government publications, historical documents, and the Internet. The technique was applied to assess other published works. The approach aids in verifying the validity of such results from earlier research. The paper’s analysis of the literature led to the conclusion that, despite its challenges, social media advertising can reach a wider audience than traditional media. Social media sites such as WhatsApp, Facebook, YouTube, and others allow advertisers to reach a large number of potential customers at a lower cost, 24/7. This study indicates that companies that prioritize improving their brand image will find ways to do it by having advertising explore the various online channels.

In the era of rapid urbanization and technological progress, smart cities offer a promising solution to multifaceted global challenges, leveraging advanced technologies to optimize resources and enhance the quality of life; however, this interconnectedness also exposes them to novel vulnerabilities, particularly in the face of natural and man-made disasters, necessitating inventive strategies to ensure resilience against cyber threats and extreme weather events. This article delves into the exploration of smart cities’ diverse aspects and the categories of disasters they face, followed by an analysis of strategic mitigation approaches and their underlying criteria; it subsequently introduces the Multi-Criteria Decision-Making methodology, particularly Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), as a robust tool for systematic evaluation and prioritization of disaster management strategies in the increasingly complex landscape. The study’s analysis of relative weights underscores the pivotal role of Resilience Enhancement and Communication Redundancy as primary considerations in evaluating disaster management strategies for smart cities, while other criteria such as Accuracy and Timeliness, Scalability and Adaptability, Cost-effectiveness, Ethical and Privacy Considerations, and Training and Skill Requirements assume varying degrees of importance in supporting roles, providing valuable insights into the decision-making process. The assessment of alternative strategies highlights their prioritization in effective disaster management for smart cities, with notable emphasis on Citizen Engagement and Education, Early Warning Systems, and data analytics; further strategies such as Integrated Communication Systems, Resilient Infrastructure Design, Drones and Robotics, Artificial Intelligence Algorithms, and IoT-enabled Sensors and Monitoring exhibit varying degrees of significance, offering insights into their roles and potential contributions to disaster management strategies based on their weighted sums. This research has practical significance, guiding stakeholders like urban planners, policymakers, and disaster management professionals to enhance smart city resilience and prioritize strategies based on critical factors, ultimately enabling effective disaster management in smart cities amid 21st-century challenges.

Quantum computers are recently being developed in wide varieties, but the computational results from quantum computing have been largely confined to constructing artificial assignments. The applications of quantum computers to real-world problems are still an active area of research. However, challenges arise when the limits of scale and complexity in biological problems are pushed, which has affected drug discovery. The fast-evolving quantum computing technology has transformed the computational capabilities in drug research by searching for solutions for complicated and tedious calculations. Quantum computing (QC) is exponentially more efficient in drug discovery, treatment, and therapeutics, generating profitable business for the pharmaceutical industry. In principle, it can be stated that quantum computing can solve complex problems exponentially faster than classical computing. Here it is needed to mention that QC will not be able to take on every task that classical computers perform—at least not now. It may be classical and quantum-coupled computational technologies combined with machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) will solve each task in the future. This review is an overview of quantum computing, which may soon revolutionize the pharmaceutical industry in drug discovery.
