The Impact of New Energy Vehicle Battery Service on Corporate Financial Performance
Authors: Wang Yuhe
Published: April 2024

In recent years, with the rapid development of technology and the "dual-carbon" goal, the new energy vehicle industry in emerging regions has been developing rapidly. However, as a core component of new energy vehicles, the battery has problems in safety, range and insurance services. Therefore, this paper explores the impact of new energy vehicle battery services on its financial performance from the perspective of charging piles. Taking China as an example, this paper uses the quarterly data of 530 listed new energy vehicle companies from March 2019 to June 2022 and the data of charging piles in each province. It establishes a panel model and a HLM multilayer linear regression model with the financial performance of new energy vehicle enterprises as the dependent variable and the number of charging piles as the independent variable to analyze the impact of new energy vehicle battery services on their financial performance. The empirical results show that (1) an increase in the number of charging piles significantly improves the financial performance of local new energy vehicle enterprises. (2) In terms of regional heterogeneity, the number of charging piles in coastal areas and economically underdeveloped areas has a greater impact on financial performance of local new energy vehicle enterprises. (3) The governmental governance capacity in the provinces, technological innovation capacity, and green development attention of local government have a significant moderating effect on the financial performance of local new energy vehicle enterprises.

Technology Finance and Urban Development: A Quantitative Approach to Shaping a New Future for Shrinking Cities
Authors: Chen Qingle
Published: April 2024

Using a dataset of 30 cities of different administrative levels in Liaoning Province, China, for the period 2007-2020, this study proposes a novel quantitative methodology for assessing the impact of socio-economic factors on the attractiveness of shrinking cities. By combining a shrinkage model with principal component analysis and extreme value normalisation of key indicators such as population size, GDP, retail sales of consumer goods, public budget expenditure, and secondary and tertiary employment, we provide a detailed analysis of the phenomenon of shrinking cities and its drivers. Using an interdisciplinary approach involving economics, psychology and sociology, we redefine traditional indicators for assessing the attractiveness of cities by analogising urban population dynamics to the process of molecular transfer in physical chemistry. This approach allows us to quantify the attractiveness of cities in four ways: socio-economic attractiveness, cost of living, public services and employment opportunities. The case study of Fushun illustrates the application of our model, revealing the potential for negative attractiveness across all dimensions and highlighting the multifaceted challenges facing shrinking cities. Our findings highlight the critical role of balanced socio-economic development, well-developed public services, affordable living conditions and adequate employment opportunities in enhancing the attractiveness of cities. This comprehensive framework provides valuable insights for urban planners and policymakers aiming to mitigate urban shrinkage and promote sustainable urban development.

Research on Market Dynamics and Corporate Motivations: Insights from Stock Split Phenomenon
Authors: Yan Shangyu
Published: April 2024

This study focuses on the phenomenon of stock splits, with a primary aim to address three pivotal questions: 1. What are the valuation implications of stock splitting? 2. Which determinants influence market reactions to announcements of stock splits? 3. What characteristics drive the decision to enact a stock split? Through meticulous examination of relevant literature and analysis of provided data, this paper presents several key findings. Firstly, it is observed that the market demonstrates a significant reaction within the [0, 1] day window surrounding a stock split announcement, whereas no discernible effect is noted beyond this interval, as evidenced by cumulative abnormal returns. Secondly, the degree of market response is found to be modulated by factors such as post-announcement return on price adjustment (LPRCAFT), company size, historical performance (PASTPERF), and adjustments in dividend payouts (DIVUP). Lastly, the inclination towards executing a stock split is predominantly influenced by the company’s recovery performance, its share price, and the overall size of the company.

Published: April 2024

Considering Nigeria as an economically and demographically viable target market, this study examined entry-level export strategies that could facilitate the expansion of foreign firms to the Nigerian market. It was necessitated by the intricacies experienced by foreign companies in obtaining credible information about the Nigerian market for internationalization decision-making. The study adopted a narrative literature review design, relying on experiential insights and secondary data obtained from government and industrial sources in Nigeria to obtain the information presented in the investigation. An in-depth content analysis method was used to analyze the secondary data obtained for the study. From its findings, it was revealed that Nigeria is a profoundly viable export destination for a wide variety of foreign products including consumer electronics, ICT accessories, fashion, cosmetics and smartphone accessories. Nevertheless, the country’s volatile economic condition poses substantial risks for foreign companies in terms of foreign currency fluctuations; but using an export strategy, these risks can be considerably mitigated. This indicates the need for careful and deliberate export planning before entry into Nigeria to ensure that exporters familiarize themselves with information and knowledge of the workings of the Nigerian market. To this end, we recommend that intending export companies should carefully select suitable market segments they can consistently serve; they should also ensure to obtain all necessary certifications and permits from key agencies like the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), and Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON) to ensure smooth operations; and in terms of export entry option, we recommend a hybrid approach (direct and indirect exportation), which avails companies the opportunity of using local expertise and network to achieve effective distribution while maintaining strong control over their products.

Authors: Tanimu Yusuf , Nwaobasi Chidinma Esther
Published: April 2024

It is safe to state that sociolinguistics is the study of the language identity and behaviour of a speaker. Such a study of sociolinguistics will normally and apparently rely on the individual’s considerable conscious or unconscious degree of choice of the linguistic variables or forms they use in their daily speech. These choices could make essential contribution to the indexing of personal stance, identity, and communicative function of language use since the belief is that language(s) do not exist outside the societies in which they are used. ‘Sociolinguistic study of language, social identity, and behavioural patterns of keke operators in Lafia metropolis is a study of how tricycle operators, called ‘keke napep’ construct their social identity through their linguistic patterns to suit their job. The study also identified the linguistic behaviours and peculiarities of the group. Being a qualitative study, a primary approach was employed with the deployment of a participant observatory method. The ethnography of communication was applied as the basis of the framework of the study, which relied on first-hand observations of the behaviour of the keke operators. The framework itself was an adaptation of the Sapir-Whorf theory of relativity hypothesis concerned with social problems that invade the field of language. The findings showed that language served the function of social identity and aspiration, while the environment in which the group operate does influence their speech, behaviour, and attitude.

Application of Student and Weibull statistical distributions on experimental tensile test results of steel wires extracted from antigyratory wire rope (19x7)
Authors: Mouhib N
Published: April 2024

Throughout the life of a wire rope, the wires that make up this cable are subjected to high mechanical stress indicating a loss of the original force, which sometimes leads to very rapid deterioration leading to sudden rupture. Therefore, they must meet the strictest safety standards in their use because every failure causes material and immaterial damages. The interest of the present work is to apply two different statistical distributions; Student distribution to select the most reliable results and Weibull distribution to define probability of survival and the probability of failure (Reliability an damage of Weibull). As result of this study, confidence interval is determined for tensile test results and the superposition of the probability of survival and the probability of failure for both maximum stress and elastic stress curves allowed us to distinguish the elastic zone which is[0, 1850], the stable plastic zone [1850, 2250] and the unstable plastic zone [2240,2300] to intervene in time for a predictive maintenance
Study of the effect of saliva on the static surface tension of water and some soft drinks using capillary rise method
Authors: Yerima J B
Published: April 2024

The effect of saliva on the surface tension of water, Schweppes, Coca-Cola, Fanta and sprite has been measured at 22.50C using capillary rise method. The results show that saliva decreases the surface tension of these liquids with water having the largest % decrease (60.4%) and Fanta the least (29.1%). This implies that when saliva breaks the surface tension of water, the increase in the surface area of the water which fastens digestion is greater than those of the soft drinks. Consequently, water-saliva mixture creates a better medium for digestion and transport of food in the mouth than the soft drinks. It is ascertained that even though water is tasteless and gives lesser comfort and satisfaction to consumers than soft drinks, it still remains the best medium for digestion of food in the mouth

OLD AND POSSIBLY NEW PERSPECTIVES ON METRICS AND PROSODY – COULD THERE BE A PLACE FOR METRICAL STRESS, AFTER ALL, IN THE RECITATION OF ARABIC POETRY?
Authors:   University of Bucharest, PIETRĂREANU OVIDIU
Published: April 2024

The present paper approaches the issue of metrical stress in the recitation of classical Arabic poetry: it begins with an overview of the opinions expressed on the subject by Western philologists, from the XIXth century, when, under the considerable influence exerted by Graeco-Latin metrics – an influence that left its mark on the treatment of many aspects of the Arabic metrical system, including one as basic as the structure of metrical feet –, there were attempts at arguing in favor of the existence of such a feature and detecting the rules that might govern its distribution within a verse, up until the second half of the XXth century, when these ideas were largely discarded and the purely quantitative nature of the system gained an increasingly widespread acceptance; we also review some positions adopted by Arab philologists, who, while obviously preoccupied with the features granting Arabic poetry its musicality and rhythmicity, have generally stayed away from concepts pertaining to linguistic prosody, even when they have demonstrably come in contact with Western sources and ideas. Finally, based on the evidence that we have been able to gather so far (a survey of our own and a number of recordings available online), we argue that, contrary to the currently prevalent opinion, there are a few contexts where metrical stress can be brought to the fore: in the intervals occupied by the rhyme, if the lexical stress is not in alignment in all the verses, the reciter can artificially bring it into alignment; when poems are chanted rather than plainly recited, it is possible for the chanter to impress on the intervals occupied by the metrical feet the prosodic contour that they would have if they were actual words, with the metrical stress being placed, within these intervals, according to the rules governing the placement of lexical stress.

Published: April 2024

Efforts to reduce poverty must have an impact that can reach the various problems caused by poverty. This research aims to analyze social policies related to poverty alleviation and cross-sectoral participation in overcoming stunting problems that occur in Indonesia. This research uses a qualitative-exploratory research method to examine the Government's Social Policy in overcoming poverty and its impact on stunting which involves cross-sector participation in its implementation. Then the data is collected from interviews, field observations, and applicable literature, then to analyze the results using Nvivo 12 Pro. The location of this research uses a regional case study in Indonesia, namely the Bantaeng Regency area. The results of this study show that the contribution of government social policies in overcoming poverty has a very positive impact on reducing the number of stunting that occurs in Bantaeng Regency. Several programs issued by the government focus on increasing consumption and fulfilling community nutrition by assisting with food. Then cross-sectoral participation in handling stunting in Bantaeng Regency has also been going well, because it not only involves the local government but also involves the military. However, this study found that there was a lack of involvement of the private sector in efforts to help the government deal with the problem of stunting. So that this is a weakness in handling stunting, therefore in handling stunting based on government programs there needs to be a binding regulation to involve the private sector.

Individual Interest of students in Physical Education and School Engagement in fostering Physical Culture inside the campus: The case of two prominent local colleges in Pampanga, Philippines
Authors: Lobo Joseph , Dimalanta Genesis
Published: April 2024

Interest has been globally established as a powerful predictor that triggers engagement, especially in fostering physical culture among students. Scholarly works in PE have already shown that situational interest triggers individual interest, which can lead to highly engaged students. However, little is known about the impact of individual interest alone on students’ school engagement. In this regard, this study is focused on determining the significant difference between the sex and institution of students concerning individual interest and school engagement. Moreover, it aimed to assess the relationship and direct influence of individual interest on school engagement. After obtaining data from 1659 samples of undergraduate students from the most prominent local colleges in Pampanga, it was revealed that there is no significant difference concerning individual interest and school engagement between sex and institution. Fascinatingly, a significant association between students’ individual interests and school engagement was observed. Lastly, individual interest, along with its three factors, predicts school engagement. It can be concluded that individual interest has a direct positive influence on school engagement. Recommendations for future research direction and PE teachers to fully translate physical culture to students to improve their overall well-being are hereby presented.
