The following integral seems to be related to a complex integration: $$ \int_{0}^{1}e^s\left(\frac{1}{s}-\frac{1}{s^2}\right)ds. $$ However, the upper end is $1$ instead of $+\infty$ in which case usually can be dealt with a Cauchy integral. Please give me some help or hints. Thanks a lot.

Could the integral be calculated by complex analysis?

Use the integration formula $$\int e^x[f(x)+f'(x)] dx=e^x f(x),$$ which comes by integration by parts. Then $$\int_{0}^{1}e^s\left( \frac{1}{s}-\frac{1}{s^2} \right) ds=\frac{e^s}{s}|_{0}^{1}=-\infty$$
