The Use of Medieval History in Constructing National Identities in 19th-Century Portugal
Authors: Luo Jing
Published: September 2023

Looking back at the development of Portugal today, the 19th century was undoubtedly an important turning point, with the emergence of professional historical writing in the country, the reconstruction of national identity, and the topic of intellectual commitment of the time. The main point of this study is to analyze the writing of European history in the early 19th century. Antony Smith considers the 19th century the beginning of professional historical writing under the framework of a national character. By the theory of Stephen Berger, the scientificity of history is seen as a key point. Combined with the actual situation of Portugal at that time, this paper seeks to emphasize that Portugal in the European environment was influenced by the general European view of history. Portuguese historians carried out scientific historical writing, choosing a romantic and liberal view of history. The paper focuses on Portuguese historians, represented by Alexandre Heeculano. In his view, the Middle Ages were a time of glory. Furthermore, the paper analyzes his professional historical writing and the literary creation of historical elements. Alexandre Heeculano used the well-ordered and vibrant Middle Ages to resist the depressed social situation in Portugal at that time. He called for the establishment of the Middle Ages as the origin of the nation, and the importance of the national imagination to restore national confidence and rebuild national identity. The paper follows this vein and explores how medieval history was used to construct Portuguese identity.
Russell Paradox Analysis: Descriptions and Logical Cases
Authors: Li Daomin , Mao Adi
Published: September 2023

The Russell Paradox is a classic problem in mathematical logic that challenges the underlying basics of set theory and the concept of infinity. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the paradox, including its history, development, and recent research. The paradox arises from the set whose members are sets not containing themselves, which results in being contradictory. Bertrand Russell and Ernst Zermelo proposed early solutions, while the axiomatic set theory provided a rigorous foundation for mathematics. Recent studies suggest alternative solutions, including distinguishing between object-language and meta-language and introducing a new concept called a "Russell-class." This paper summarizes the history of the paradox, summarizes recent studies, and presents a framework for understanding and evaluating solutions. According to the analysis, it aims to deepen the understanding of the paradoxical situation and why it is of enormous importance for the underlying basics of mathematics. This paradox remains a subject of intense study and continues to inspire the development of various theories and frameworks to resolve it. Overall, these results shed light on guiding further exploration of the paradoxical situation and its enormous importance for the underlying basics of mathematics. They also present a framework for understanding and evaluating solutions, with the goal of deepening our understanding of the paradox and inspiring the development of various theories and frameworks to resolve the issue.

The Impact of Disney Movies on Childrens Perceptions of Traditional Gender Roles and Sexist Stereotypes
Authors: Yang Lehan
Published: September 2023

Disney movies have been a much-researched topic, especially for studying the impact of childrens perceptions of traditional gender roles and sexist stereotypes. Disney movies often portray women as needing rescue, weakness and passivity from male characters. These movies perpetuate traditional gender roles but also largely limit the roles women can play in society. Therefore, this review will examine various studies that examine the impact of Disney movies on childrens perceptions of gender roles and stereotypes, and further discuss how to counter these negative effects. Children are easily and deeply influenced by the characters and plots portrayed in movies, they gradually internalize the idea that men should dominate and women should be submissive in their daily lives. This perception can negatively affect childrens interpersonal relationships, which can lead to harmful behaviors and attitudes, such as gender-based violence and discrimination. Parents and educators need to be aware of these issues and further research is needed to explore the long-term effects of Disney movies on childrens attitudes and beliefs.

Authors: Huang Yike
Published: September 2023

Based on the events in Iran and Afghanistan, which are hotly discussed in the current society, the discussion is carried out to trace the oppression of Islam on women. This essay examines the restrictions placed on women's power by the Islamic world's fundamentalist social structure. On the basis of relevant literature and studies, the contemporary living conditions of Iranian women are evaluated. It has been established that the deeply ingrained social standards of Islam, such as the dominance of men and the inferiority of women to contemporary fundamentalism, severely limit the authority of women and contribute to the low social position of Iranian women. The freedom to choose one's clothing, make new acquaintances, go out, and pursue education are all subject to power limits. However, in the realm of Islam, female consciousness is emerging.

Published: September 2023

Because of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, China's economy and financial markets have been volatile in recent years. This necessitates using financial literacy by Chinese customers to handle their assets effectively and avoid losses. This essay aims to investigate the effect of various demographic parameters on the financial quality of Chinese consumers. The 2019 China Consumer Finance Survey questionnaire yielded 13,000 data points for this article. STATA was applied to screen twelve independent variables associated with financial quality, and a multiple linear regression model was utilized to determine the association between each variable. The findings revealed a strong relationship between age, gender, income, education level, the proportion of household members with sickness, consumer risk preference, rural domicile, family size, self-employment and house ownership with financial quality, except that there was no significant correlation between marital status and consumer financial quality. The results indicated a significant correlation between age, gender, income, education level, and the proportion of household members with illness. These findings imply that different demographic factors influence Chinese consumers' financial quality to varying degrees. As a result, each consumer makes different decisions about managing assets and avoiding risk.

Authors: Zhang Jiaxuan
Published: September 2023

The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) Volatility Index (VIX) is a measurement of volatility in the stock market, which is closely associated with the return of the risk premium. This paper categorized the monthly log returns of VIX by Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) and investigates the driving factors of VIX among the Equity Market Volatility (EMV) trackers under different regimes using the elastic net linear regression model. As a result of categorization, two regimes in log returns of VIX are found. Regime 1 with a lower mean covers most of the months, while regime 2 with a higher mean captures the months of extreme log returns. In months of both regimes, the policy-related factor significantly and independently affects VIX. Another factor that largely affects VIX in regime 1 is the macroeconomy and other factors have little impact on VIX in regime 1. Infectious disease, policy, and government related factors are more important in affecting VIX in regime 2.

Authors: Chen Xintong , Qi Miaofei
Published: September 2023

To offer returns which have low or even no correlation with the market index is one of the most widely cited benefits of the market neutral strategies. Thus, market neutral strategies can be applied to generate relative stable returns against the backdrop of increased economic uncertainty. Using market neutral strategies to construct portfolios with stocks from each of the five representative sectors: consumer cyclical sector, healthcare sector, energy sector, technology sector and financial sector, this paper analyzes the return on each portfolio and their linear correlation with the market to figure out which sectors the market neutral strategies are better suited for. The result shows that the portfolios with stocks from each of the healthcare sector, energy sector and financial sector outperformed the market, while the rest of the constructed portfolios underperformed the market. Moreover, the linear correlation analysis demonstrates that the market neutral strategy cannot effectively diversify market risk when the portfolio is from technology sector. Therefore, the market neutral strategy may be more applicable in healthcare sector and energy sector due to the higher return and better risk diversification results, while it may not be well applied to technology sector for the negative return and suboptimal risk diversification result.

Sweet Potato Yield Prediction for Index Insurance in North Carolina
Authors: Li Zijun
Published: September 2023

Agriculture index insurance is an innovative topic that has not been well studied in the United States. North Carolina produces 1.7 billion pounds of sweet potatoes in 2020, but currently, there is no insurance to reduce the financial risk of farmers. As a result, index insurance focusing on North Carolina sweet potato farmers can be profitable. In this study, the precipitation is forecasted by the linear model using the first lag and seasonal factors. The predicted precipitations from May to September are then used to predict the yield. The precipitation model has significant factors for Season3, which represents July to September, the rainy season of North Carolina; the yield model has a significant variable of September, which is the harvest season of sweet potatoes in North Carolina. The precipitation model falls short of predicting the exact value of precipitation, but it catches the trend and seasonality. Despite the insensitivity of the precipitation model, the yield is predicted relatively accurate. The result of this study can be used to design the thresholds of the index insurance. Insurance companies can use thresholds to design insurance plans with different premiums.

Literatures in the area of political economics about trade policy are reviewed. The Grossman-Helpman model, which predicts a set of determinants of trade policy, is discussed. Three empirical studies the U.S. steel industry, the U.S. Section 301 proceedings, and the Chinese cotton industry as well as the influence of loss aversion in each case, are analyzed and discussed in detail. Overall, the study draws its conclusion based on previous literatures and empirical studies, and it further confirms that loss aversion would lead to a risk-averse behavior of policy makers by reviewing empirical cases.
