There has unavoidably been a problem for international grain cooperation in the Asia–Europe region as a result of the Russian–Ukrainian conflict. Analysis of the impact of Russian–Ukrainian conflict on the evolution of grain trade cooperation, identifying key influencing factors and formulating corresponding measures are of practical value for safeguarding grain security in the Asia–Europe region. In this paper, a grain trade network is constructed according to grain trade data from the Asian–European grain trade cooperation countries. A grain trade network game (GTNG) model of grain trade cooperation is established in order to investigate the elements that influence trade cooperation. The reciprocal preference is introduced. Through simulation experiments, the effects of cooperation costs, neighboring countries’ incentives, and punitive pressures, the degree of goodwill perception, the types of game, and the proportion of initial cooperators on trade cooperation are examined. This study may give useful policy recommendations for promoting Asia–Europe grain trade cooperation under the influence of the Russian–Ukrainian conflict.

To enhance the efficiency and stability of traffic flow in the vicinity of traffic signals under mixed traffic, a macroscopic model considering the characteristics of the vicinity of traffic signals is proposed from the perspective of cyber-physical systems (CPS). In this model, the effects of traffic lights and vehicle lane changing behavior are analyzed. Among them, the remaining time of the signal light, the distance between the vehicle and the signal light, and the urgency of lane change are considered to build a macro model. Finally, the simulation results show that compared with the traditional macroscopic model, the proposed model can improve the stability of traffic flow in the vicinity of traffic signals and effectively alleviate traffic congestion.

Online social media platforms have emerged as integral channels for facilitating social interactions, with celebrities utilizing these platforms to engage with their fan base and cultivate a substantial following. The group of engaged fans, commonly referred to as “active fans”, represents individuals who actively communicate with celebrities and actively participate in discussions pertaining to the celebrities’ endeavors. For celebrities, the task of retaining and augmenting the count of active fans holds immense significance, as it significantly amplifies their social impact and commercial value. Here, we construct dynamic weighted active fan networks by leveraging data from 2021 on Sina Weibo, which stands as China’s largest social media platform. Through a comparative analysis encompassing the network’s structure, the growth rate and the duration of active fans, we delve into the influence wielded by six distinct thematic categories, endorsement, variety, public welfare, sports, music and national affairs. This analysis covers a cohort of nine celebrities spanning five diverse domains, including actors, singers, online influencers, anchors and athletes. The growth trajectory and life cycle exhibited by celebrity fans exhibit notable variations, both within and across the aforementioned themes. These dynamics are further influenced by the inherent structural attributes of the personal fan network belonging to each celebrity. Employing the K-Shape time series clustering algorithm, we have undertaken an in-depth exploration of outburst growth patterns observed in active fans and determined the optimal value of the number of clusters to be $k=4$ through comparative analysis. Our findings underscore that the themes of endorsement and public welfare exhibit all four growth patterns, namely Double-Peak, Oscillatory, Single-Peak and Continuous Growth Patterns. In contrast, when considering all themes collectively, they collectively demonstrate a single-peaked decaying growth pattern the insights gleaned from this study not only serve as a valuable reference and guide for celebrities across diverse domains who aspire to bolster and augment their social influence but also contribute to the burgeoning fan economy. Moreover, this research introduces novel perspectives and insights for scrutinizing patterns of fan growth and their corresponding dynamics.
