“…In the 1970s, the literature introduced the rentier states theory, in which a small percent of the labor force is involved in activities promoting rent generation [1,2]. This theory is most relevant to oil-and gas-producing countries such as Qatar, the third-largest natural gas producer [3,4]. According to Allen [5], any country where 40% of the government revenues come from rent is defined as a rentier state.…”

Female entrepreneurship plays a critical role in achieving economic diversification, sustainable economy, and sustainable development, not only in economic terms but also in social and environmental dimensions. Women are considered excellent and relentless custodians of their families, their surroundings, and society. However, in many countries, particularly in resource-rich and developing states, there are considerably limited opportunities and barriers for women to utilize their utmost capacities. Considering the historical development trajectory and learning from several past and benchmark examples, mainly from the entrepreneurship domain, we first developed a conceptual model to deliver a holistic strategy for policymaking and implementation by employing design and systems thinking approaches. Second, based on this conceptual model, we proposed an integrated policy framework for Qatar, as a resource-rich country in the quest of transforming into an innovation-driven, knowledge-based sustainable development to propel women’s entrepreneurship and increase their involvement in achieving economic diversification, and thus, sustainable development in a broader perspective. Third, we conducted a survey to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed policy framework. Results reveal that surveyed aspiring and actual female entrepreneurs maintain the relevance of the suggested policies related to the provision of further local training and mentorship programs and subsidies and funds from the government. Furthermore, while female participants agree that their entrepreneurial practices need to abide by local cultural traditions and trends, they believe there is a supplementary need to spread awareness of and garner support for their social and economic contribution to the society. Finally, findings show that several female participants, mainly Qatari nationals, are willing to become entrepreneurial investors to help fund other entrepreneurship startups to partner with other women and give back to society and contribute to the overall sustainability of their community.

“…The results show that compared with the investigation method, statistical method, and SWOT online conversion rate investigation method, its prediction accuracy and calculation time are better, and it can accurately judge the online conversion rate of the audience. However, in the SWOT model, there is a lack of dynamic analysis of potential advantages and threats A. Meza M. Koc and M. S. Al-Sada [ 13 ], resulting in a certain timeliness of the results and unable to make long-term prediction. Therefore, in the future research, the dynamic function will be integrated to prolong the prediction time of audience online conversion rate.…”

With the rapid development of social economy and people’s increasing requirements for spiritual life, tourism projects are booming. At the same time, in order to improve their competitiveness, tourism regions also pay great attention to the attraction of performing arts projects to the audience, especially the online conversion rate. The original online conversion rate survey method cannot effectively judge the online conversion, and the comprehensive judgment ability is weak. At present, there is a lack of necessary analysis methods in the research of audience online conversion rate, so the research results cannot meet the actual requirements. Moreover, there are some deficiencies in the research depth of conversion rate at home and abroad. In order to shorten the abovementioned gap, comprehensive analysis methods should be applied to focus on online transformation. Based on the abovementioned reasons, this paper proposes a method based on SWOT to build a prediction model of audience online conversion rate. First, SWOT is used to cluster the data of strengths, weaknesses, potential dangers, and competitors and sort the data to judge the importance of different data, so as to improve the accuracy of the online conversion rate judgment results of viewers. Then, SWOT classifies the data to form analysis particles in different aspects and analyzes the co-evolution and optimal results of analysis particles in different aspects. After a simulation test, the SWOT model constructed in this paper is superior to the online conversion rate survey method in terms of calculation accuracy and calculation time and the overall effect is higher. At the same time, the integration of threshold, weight, and other adjustment functions further enhances the analysis effect of SWOT model. Therefore, a SWOT model can accurately and quickly predict the online conversion rate of audience.

“…The introduction of modular liquefaction units, for instance, allows for the establishment of smaller-scale facilities in remote locations, reducing the reliance on extensive pipelines and infrastructure. This not only streamlines the supply chain but also enhances the resilience of LNG production against geopolitical and logistical challenges (Meza, 2022;Etukudoh et al, 2024). Moreover, advancements in liquefaction technologies contribute to the development of more efficient and environmentally friendly transportation methods.…”

Rapid technological advancements in Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) have catalyzed a transformative shift in global energy markets. This review delves into the profound impact of LNG technology advancements, exploring their multifaceted consequences on the dynamics of the energy landscape. The evolution of LNG technologies, spanning liquefaction, transportation, and regasification processes, has ushered in a new era of energy accessibility, sustainability, and market competitiveness. The burgeoning role of LNG as a cleaner and more versatile fuel source is examined against the backdrop of global efforts to address climate change. Environmental considerations, carbon reduction goals, and the burgeoning demand for cleaner energy sources are driving the increasing adoption of LNG in the global energy transition. Government initiatives supporting LNG adoption and renewable energy policies influencing its utilization are dissected to comprehend the intricate policy factors shaping global LNG consumption. Economic drivers, including cost competitiveness and market dynamics, play a pivotal role in shaping the global LNG landscape. The review assesses the economic growth and industrial demand for LNG, providing insights into the intricate relationship between economic factors and the surge in LNG consumption. Additionally, the expansion of global LNG production capacity, exploration of unconventional gas resources, and geopolitical influences on LNG supply patterns are thoroughly scrutinized to provide a comprehensive understanding of the forces steering LNG trade dynamics. The regional dynamics in LNG trade are elucidated with a focus on major economies such as Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America. The rising demand from these regions, coupled with infrastructure developments and regulatory frameworks, underscores the intricate interplay of factors shaping LNG trade dynamics on a regional scale. Furthermore, the review delves into the geopolitical implications of recent events on LNG markets, scrutinizing trade agreements and geopolitical risks to provide a holistic view of the broader geopolitical landscape impacting LNG stakeholders.
