Authors: Jin Tongxu
Published: November 2023

In recent years, "cross-industry marketing" has become a relatively mature way of brand expansion, transformation and promotion in the clothing industry. Co-branded brands have also become the main research objects of scholars. Cross-industry co-branding can create new brand value on the basis of existing brands, and find more market possibilities, thus expanding consumer groups and improving brand equity performance. The research theme of this paper is the influence of cross-industry co-branding of clothing brands on the image of co-branded brands, among which the influence of the fit degree between brands on the brand image. This paper solved this problem through qualitative research and take the form of questionnaire survey in the group design. It is found that the fit degree between brands has an impact on the brand image, and the brand image with high fit degree is better than the brand image with low fit degree. Consumers have better brand cognition and more positive brand image imagination for co-branded brands with high fit degree. Therefore, clothing marketing management personnel should pay more attention to the "fit" of the brand when selecting partners, and give priority to choosing brands with high fit, such as complementary functional attributes and consistent image attributes.
A Review of the Halo Effect and Its Applications at the Corporate Level
Authors: Yao Yuanhang
Published: November 2023

The halo effect is a cognitive bias that twists peoples judgment in the rating process and has a significant influence on HRM(human resource management) practices. However, as a heuristic, the halo effect has shown much potential for improving the economic outcomes of corporate business and management as well. This essay gives a review of the halo effect and its applications at the corporate level based on the literature from 1920 to 2022. While the concept of the halo effect has been fully developed throughout the century, the problem of distinguishing true halo from illusory halo remains unsolved, which leads to the stagnation of further research on HRM practice. However, the study of the halo effect in brand marketing is rather mature, providing diverse advertising, sales, and crisis strategies for corporations to increase long-term gain. Furthermore, the literature on the halo effect has been focusing on more contemporary fields of application, such as the promotion of cultural products in the context of globalization, which could be a trend for researchers in the near future.

Published: November 2023

US interest rate hikes due to COVID-19 and high inflation have affected the country's stock market and the international foreign exchange market. The authors analyze the willingness of U.S. interest rate hikes to cause inflation at the micro level through changes in the amount of money held by residents because of U.S. policies. This paper analyzes the impact of the U.S. interest rate hike by collecting various information on rental housing, GDP and spot exchange rates of countries affected by the U.S. According to the findings of this paper: 1. US interest rate hikes lead to a rise in the amount of currency held by citizens. 2. Interest rate hikes affect the GDP growth rate, and the stock market are positively correlated. 3. US monetary policy affects the world economy. The point of studying the Fed's rate hikes is to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the policy and to find better ways to control inflation and make the economy stable. According to this paper, the authors propose that the United States should stop raising interest rates at the right time when the inflation rate falls to the right value and let interest rates return to their previous levels, otherwise it will stagnate the country's economic development and cause turmoil in the country's stock and foreign exchange markets.

The study focuses on the phenomenon of initial public offering (IPO) underpricing in China's Science and Technology Innovation Board (STAR market). The study employs the stochastic frontier model to analyze IPO underpricing and decomposes it into two components: primary market underpricing and secondary market premium. Additionally, the research investigates the impact of research and development (R&D) investment on IPO underpricing. The empirical analysis is based on a sample of 480 companies listed on the STAR market between July 2019 and January 2023. The results reveal that IPO underpricing on the STAR market is substantial, with an average underpricing rate of 131.81%. The primary market underpricing component contributes 4.24% to the overall underpricing rate, while the secondary market premium accounts for the remaining 95.76%. Furthermore, the study explores various factors that influence the secondary market premium using multiple linear regression analysis. The findings indicate that variables such as issuance volume, underwriting fee, turnover rate, and R&D investment significantly impact the secondary market premium.
Beyond GDP: A New Way of Sustainable Future Leaded by Green GDP
Authors: Peilin Chen
Published: November 2023

Since the Industrial Revolution, global development and progress have caused serious environmental damage and resource consumption. It is not in line with the concept of sustainable development to measure the economic level solely by GDP. Therefore, GGDP was introduced as an alternative. To evaluate the global impact of GGDP replacing GDP, we have constructed a GGDP multiple linear regression model. This model takes into account GGDP in different countries at different times and incorporates multiple influencing factors. Additionally, we introduce the grey prediction model to demonstrate that GGDP can serve as a suitable measure of economic development level. This supports the idea that promoting GGDP is applicable on a global scale. Furthermore, we introduce five natural resource indicators and conduct a Spearman correlation analysis between GGDP, GDP, and these five natural indicators. To illustrate this, we take the United States, a representative developed country, as an example.

Authors: Han Zifei
Published: November 2023

In accordance with the double carbon target proposed in 2020: to achieve "carbon peak" by 2030 and "carbon neutrality" by 2060. The background of this research is how to optimize the industrial structure and guide low-carbon consumption through energy production and consumption restructuring. In the post-epidemic era, a series of changes in people's consumption concepts and behaviour have taken place, which made positive or negative impacts on low-carbon consumption. The research focus here is to adopt the survey analysis method, collecting primary analysis data through data collection, questionnaires, and interviews. This paper focuses on the validation and practice of this research method. Researches have found that the current direct energy consumption behaviours of residents concentrated in the household scenario and the travel scenario. The low-carbon nature of these scenarios is influenced by two main decisions: the choice of consumption mode at the first consumption stage and the choice of consumption mode at the ongoing consumption stage. The factors that influence these decisions vary from stage to stage, and different strategies can help guide residents' low-carbon consumption behaviour.

The Application of Common Prosperity Policy; Discussion Based on Limitarianism
Authors: Shi Yuchen
Published: November 2023

This paper explores the concept of Economic Limitarianism, which proposes that social progress can be achieved by imposing restrictions on individual wealth accumulation. It analyzes the policy of "common prosperity" in the context of China as a potential application of Limitarianism to address wealth inequality. The paper examines the historical parallels between Economic Limitarianism and ancient tithing practices, highlighting the belief that the super-rich should allocate surplus funds to address societal needs. However, recent literature suggests limitations in implementing Limitarianism due to the lack of clear criteria for judgment and varying acceptance of inequality across different social states. The "common prosperity" policy in China, which involves providing state dividends from surplus operating income to support the less well-off, is compared to traditional Limitarianism. It is argued that the "common prosperity" policy, with its focus on state-owned enterprises and redistribution rather than wealth restrictions, can mitigate wealth inequality while minimizing violations of property rights and social dissatisfaction. The paper concludes that blindly applying the "common prosperity" policy in countries like the United States may not be advisable due to different national conditions. However, two potential approaches for promoting Limitarianism in capitalist countries are suggested: increasing the number of state-owned enterprises and increasing government revenues through investments in private enterprises. While acknowledging the significance of the "common prosperity" policy for the development of Limitarianism, its applicability outside of China is considered limited.

Authors: Malacarne Suelen Marques , Vega William Renzo Cortez , Da Paz Marcelo Fossa
Published: November 2023

Até 70% do peso total do peixe é descartado durante seu processamento, 5% destes são escamas, compostas principalmente por colágeno e hidroxiapatita que podem possuir certas propriedades adsortivas, servindo como fonte de matéria-prima para diversos produtos úteis. Este artigo apresenta um estudo sobre a incorporação do pó das escamas da Tilápia (Oreochromis Niloticus) em compostos cimentícios. O objetivo foi desenvolver um material incorporando o pó das escamas da Tilápia no concreto avaliando a consistência no estado fresco e a resistência mecânica a compressão. As escamas foram coletadas em uma indústria de processamento de pescados da região de Itaporã – MS e moídas em um moinho de facas para obtenção de um pó fino. Nesse pó realizou-se ensaio de perda ao fogo. Foram produzidos concretos com teores de 0 à 10% de adição de pó de escama. Os resultados indicaram que a adição do pó da escama no concreto em teor de até 5% pode melhorar a resistência à compressão, porém diminui sua consistência e trabalhabilidade no estado fresco. No entanto, a utilização desse resíduo pode contribuir ambientalmente ao reduzir a quantidade de resíduos produzidos pela indústria de processamento de pescados. Concluiu-se que a incorporação do pó das escamas no concreto pode ser uma alternativa interessante e viável para a produção de concretos sustentáveis, mas é importante ressaltar que seu uso ainda é um campo de pesquisa em desenvolvimento e, portanto, é necessário realizar mais estudos avaliando eficácia e segurança dessa técnica em larga escala na construção civil.
DO PRAZO PARA INVALIDAÇÃO DE ATOS ADMINISTRATIVOS PELA ADMINISTRAÇÃO PÚBLICA
Authors: De Moura Allan Vinicius
Published: November 2023

O presente artigo analisa o art. 54 da Lei Federal nº 9.784/99, que prevê prazo de cinco anos para a Administração Pública Federal anular atos administrativos de que decorram efeitos favoráveis aos destinatários, desde que não tenha havido má-fé. Verificar-se-á se o prazo previsto no art. 54 da Lei nº 9.784/99 possui natureza prescricional ou decadencial. Busca-se demonstrar se o art. 54 da Lei Federal nº 9.784/99 leva em consideração ou não a dicotomia entre atos nulos e anuláveis prevista no Código Civil. Investigar-se-á se a legislação dos demais entes federativos pode prever prazos superiores ao previsto no art. 54 da Lei Federal nº 9.784/99. Os resultados revelam que a teoria dos atos nulos e anuláveis prevista no Código Civil é incompatível com o sistema de invalidades do Direito Administrativo. Será demonstrado, também, que, antes de completar-se o prazo de 5 (cinco) anos, a Administração pode encontrar-se impedida de invalidar atos administrativos, a depender das circunstâncias. Demonstrar-se-á que a previsão de prazos superiores a cinco anos na legislação dos entes subnacionais é inconstitucional e que, em caso de omissão legislativa, os demais entes federativos podem aplicar, subsidiariamente, o prazo previsto no art. 54 da Lei Federal nº 9.784/99. Concluir-se-á que a aplicação do prazo previsto no art. 54 da Lei Federal nº 9.784/99 independe da categorização do ato administrativo entre nulo e anulável. Os métodos de pesquisa utilizados foram a revisão de literatura e a pesquisa jurisprudencial.

For two days, 92 students from 6 study programs were invited to take part in field lecture activities that were integrated with material on Islam and Minangkabau Culture. The results of this program 1. show an increase in student understanding of Islamic values ​​and Minangkabau culture. 2. During field studies, students are able to directly interact with the local community, visit historical places, and explore various aspects of Minangkabau culture and traditions. 3. Through discussion and reflection, students succeed in instilling Islamic values ​​in the local cultural context. In addition, this field lecture program also has a positive impact on the Pagaruyung community. With the student visits, the local community is more open to share their knowledge and experiences about Islam and their culture. The active involvement of the community also helps in mutual learning between students and the community. Although this program provides significant benefits, there are some challenges encountered during its implementation. Among them are budget constraints, logistics, and coordination with related parties. Therefore, it is suggested that this program continues to be developed and supported by all relevant parties to achieve more optimal results.
