Арменовед Давид Ананун [Давид Оганович (Ованесович) Тер-Даниелян, 1880–1943] – выдающийся представитель армянской общественно-политической, литературно-культурной действительности первого тридцатилетия XX в. На протяжении всей своей содержательной деятельности он поддерживал тесные связи со многими представителями армянской реальности того времени. Особый интерес представляют его литературно-общественные связи с поэтом всех армян Ованесом Туманяном, вектор которых был весьма широк: а) Ананун написал ряд статей о Туманяне и его творчестве, дав ему достойную оценку, б) в связи с вопросами об отно- шениях между редакцией газеты «Мшак» и возглавляемым Ов. Туманяном Кавказским обществом армянских писателей развернул с последним острую полемику, в) принимал участие в работе возглавляемого Туманяном «Бюро по установлению потерь армян от всемирной войны», г) Туманян по разным поводам оказывал Анануну финансовую поддержку, д) поэт сотрудничал с редактируемой Д. Анануном двухнедельной газетой «Кооперация Армении» и т. д. Литературно-общественные связи Д. Анануна и Ов. Туманяна не только составляют важнейшую часть их жизни и деятельности, но и вос- полняют одну из белых страниц арменоведения и туманяноведения.
Armenologist David Ananun [David Hovhanovich (Hovhannesovich) Ter- Danielyan, 1880-1943] is a distinguished representative of Armenian socialpolitical, literary and cultural reality of the first thirty years of the XX century. Throughout all his substantive activity he maintained close ties with many representatives of the Armenian reality of that time. His literary and public relations of extremely wide vector with the poet of all Armenians Hovhannes Tumanyan are of particular interest: (a) Ananun wrote a number of articles about Tumanyan highly appreciating his works of art; (b) in connection with the issues about relations between the editorial staff of the newspaper “Mshak” and Caucasian society of Armenian writers headed by Tumanyan, he unfolded a heated debates with the latter; (c) he took part in the work of the “Commission for establishing losses of Armenians during the world war” led by Tumanyan; (d) Tumanyan provided financial support to Ananun on different occasions; (e) the poet contributed to the biweekly newspaper “Cooperation of Armenia” edited by Ananun, etc. Literary and public ties of D. Ananun and H. Tumanyan do not only form the most important part of their life and work but also fill one of the white pages of Armenian and Tumanyan studies.

Women's bronze belts are important sources for the study of Urartu culture. We observed the iconography of a woman’s belt No. 4, published by archaeologist Irit Ziffer, dating back to the VIII century BC, and compared the images with the rituals of Armenians as the heirs of the culture. The procession of maid-priestesses is depicted on the belt. A woman (probably a queen/goddess) is sitting in front of the sacrifice table with the crescent shaped ritual bread symbolizing the sun. It should be noted that Armenians also baked ritual bread, for example, “tari hats”. Then a priestess on the belt aspires to "feed" the queen with this ritual bread as a sacrifice (the custom of sacrifice is accepted among Armenians to this day), the next image is of women pouring wine from a crater into a pitcher (by the way, Armenians are known as the first winemakers in the legends). Some other women are also depicted on the belt, one with a tambourine, the other with cups clinking, between these two a woman-acrobat stands leaning on her hands upside down. Such a playing position is in the repertoire of Armenian clowns (and not only) and is typical of carnival games. Moreover, carnival games of Armenians and European peoples took place only during Barekendan (Russ. Масленица, Eng. Shrovetide). Almost all researchers suppose that a banquet or a wedding scene is depicted on the belt. However, apart from the queen, none of the women eats or drinks. Anyhow, we believe that what is depicted on the belt is not a feast but a scene of the sacrifice of bread and wine during Barekendan.
Ադանայի նահանգի հայերի 1915 թ. բնաջնջումը և ունեզրկումը
Authors: Ոսկանյան Անի
Published: July 2023

К концу 1915 года почти все армяне Западной Армении, Киликии и других провинций (вилайетов) империи были депортированы. Как в Адане, так и в других местах турки продолжали экспроприацию собственности, грабеж, присвоение и уничтожение культурных ценностей армян. Депортация, грабеж и истребление армян осуществлялись по приказам центрального правительства, при содействии местных властей и специально созданных организаций и групп, при активном участии обычных граждан. Все слои общества были заинтересованы в депортации армян и грабеже их имущества: обычные граждане-турки использовали награбленное для улучшения условий жизни, местные власти, другие госучреждения, банки, разные страховые компании и т. д. накопили огромный капитал, а османское государство, кроме истребления и конфискации огромного национального богатства армян, решило самый важный экзистенциальный вопрос для турок – вопрос территории, земли. Четкий график и последовательность действий масштабного преступления указывают на то, что оно было заранее спланировано – доказательство того, что Геноцид армян был преднамеренным.
By the end of 1915, almost all Armenians of Western Armenia, Cilicia and other provinces (vilayets) of the Ottoman Empire had been deported. Both in Adana and other places, Turks continued expropriation of property, plunder, appropriation and destruction of cultural values of Armenians. Deportation, plunder and extermination of Armenians were carried out by the orders from the central government, with the strenuous efforts of the local provincial authorities as well as groups and organizations that had been formed for that purpose, also the common people being actively involved in these actions. All levels of society were interested in deporting Armenians and pillaging their property: ordinary Turkish citizens used the loot to improve their living conditions, local authorities, other state institutions, banks, different insurance companies, etc. accumulated immense capital. Moreover, the Ottoman state, in addition to the extermination and confiscation of the huge national wealth of Armenians, solved the most important existential issue for Turks - the issue of territory and land. This large-scale crime was committed according to a clearly set schedule and in an exact order of actions, which shows that the Armenian Genocide had been carefully planned and was perpetrated in accordance with an accurately worked out programme.
Sea-ing en los paisajes humanos y la igualdad de libertades. Las relaciones socioculturales y ecológicas en la educación matemática
Authors: Mesquita Mônica
Published: July 2023

Existen movimientos de abajo hacia arriba impregnados de diferentes praxis en educación matemática, que promueven la combinación de valores heterogéneos – insertados en la participación social, la diversidad cultural y la reconexión con la Pachamama. Tales movimientos han sido desarrollados por colectivos de pensadores constituidos por miembros con conocimientos diversos. Inmerso en una resistencia contracolonizadora por una persistencia de la horizontalidad en el proceso educativo, este artículo busca dialogar en torno a conexiones socioculturales-ecológicas experimentadas en procesos de etnografía crítica desarrollados en la educación matemática comunitaria de movimientos ascendentes en Brasil y Portugal. El objetivo es promover un camino en que una antigua necesidad de compartir la ontología topológica humana construida y reconstruida en cinco campos etnográficos, en que los paisajes humanos y la libertad igualitaria, sea-ing en líneas indisociables, evidenciaron la opresión de la escolarización del conocimiento matemático sobre relaciones humanas socioculturales-ecológicas. Dicho movimiento sea-ing se propone como una vía alternativa para desmitificar, resignificar o complementar la forma en que el ser humano se percibe en su entorno y trae a los procesos más diversos de educación matemática – formal_informal_no formal – la importancia de la situacionalidad del aprendiz y la relevancia de la justicia intelectual hacia sociedades equitativas.

The Historical Transformation of China's National Perception
Authors: Zeng Yiyao
Published: July 2023

Drawing upon the theoretical frameworks of positioning theory and macrohistory, it can be posited that China's economic evolution can be comprehensively elucidated through the lens of innovation, which can be categorized into three distinct stages: stability, depression, and development. Three primary categories of innovations—silk, ceramics, and tea—rather than the Four Great Inventions—paper making, gunpowder, the compass, and printing—were the main drivers of the ancient Chinese economy's growth. The West originally came to identify the East and China with "mystery" and "wealth" through the commerce in silk and porcelain. China finished building the "Celestial Empire" on its own through new categories, new brands, and new positioning. The West originally came to identify the East and China with "mystery" and "wealth" through the trade of silk and porcelain. China finished building the "Celestial Empire" on its own through new categories, new brands, and new positioning. Due to the loss of innovation, China went through a period of economic stagnation, and the voice of the "Celestial Empire" was gradually supplanted by orientalism until being replaced entirely by Made in China. The national perception is being rebuilt in China after 2000 as a result of the nation-branding strategy's introduction and an increase in the number of Chinese companies expanding abroad. This article provides a research foundation for Chinese enterprises to contemplate when formulating their global positioning and international business tactics.
Is Tourism Recovering in the Post-epidemic Era? Evidence from the Chinese Market
Authors: Ding Yiyang
Published: July 2023

This essay surveys and summarizes the causes of these economies' severe losses as well as their recovery plans in the event of a pandemic in China as the pandemic has significantly impacted the tourism economies. It argues that the epidemic has obviously had a valid impact on the tourism economy, as seen by the high unemployment rate and the fact that the sector is struggling to make ends meet through the collection of data from 2017 to 2021 from State Statistics Bureau and Xinhua. Three areas can be observed in the recession of the tourism economies: the tourism industries, the tourism employees, and the tourism customers. Due to these three factors, the recovery plans for China's tourist cities were broken down into four categories: government funding assistance and ticketing regulations; promotion of the nation's international image; new local forms of tourism like cloud, culture, and rural travel; and the expansion of China's "dark tourism.". In general, the study of the tourism economy will enable us to better plan the growth of the domestic tourism industry and adapt it to a more tailored approach to the Chinese setting.
Research on the Impact and Development of Fintech on Banks
Authors: Gong Zhiyun
Published: July 2023

This paper studies the effect of fintech on the development and transformation of banks, and selects several large commercial banks in China to compare their total investment in fintech in the past three years. The results show that in recent years, commercial banks have paid more and more attention to fintech, and their annual total investment in fintech keeps rising. In addition, effective risk control and the recruitment and retention of fintech professionals are two key factors in the digital transformation process of banks. When cooperating with fintech companies and developing products, banks need to establish a stable regulatory review process system to reduce the leakage of confidential data and the possibility and risk of high-tech product loopholes. Meanwhile, businesses ought to pay more attention to the recruitment of professional and technical talents, and narrow the salary level with IT companies by increasing salaries and benefits, so as to retain the employees who develop fintech products.
Theoretical Analysis of Modern Portfolio Theory
Authors: Wen Zhijian
Published: July 2023

The Modern portfolio theory has contributed to establishing the fundamental principles of portfolio management, and it is widely used in the finance industry to build diversified investment portfolios. The purpose of the proposed research is to evaluate the effectiveness of modern portfolio theory in the real estate industry by examining empirical evidence and case studies, assisting with real estate developers and property managers to make informed decisions about which properties to invest in and how to manage their real estate portfolios over time. Prior studies have primarily relied on historical data and have been unable to untangle the survey of particular cases and areas owing to recent changes, which may lead to discrepancies in the data and erroneous assessment of investment portfolios. Considering this limitation, the research essay delves explicitly into the effectiveness of modern portfolio theory in the real estate field and how it can assist in developing real estate. Consequently, according to this paper findings and the mathematical derivation, applying modern portfolio theory to real estate is still generally beneficial.

Authors: Bai Xinyang , Cao Mengshi , Zhang Shixuan
Published: July 2023

On 24 March 2017, the "black swan" incident of Huishan Dairy broke out and its share price dropped by 90% overnight. Since then, it has been in a serious debt crisis and its development has come to a standstill. Besides, it has sought to restructure itself several times over the years to get a new lease of life. The sequence of events is as follows: poor management of the company, debt crisis, share price collapse, suspension of the company, repeated debt restructuring and finally successful restructuring. To date, in November 2021, just over a year ago, according to the official website of Yuexiu Huishan Dairy, the dairy is in the IPO listing stage. This article focuses on the process and procedures of restructuring Huishan Dairy's debt, analyzing the situation before and after the restructuring based on financial and market data, assessing the success or otherwise of the restructured Huishan Dairy, which still has a "dominant share", sufficient "cash flow", and an over-invested "upstream industry". The problem of excessive investment in the "upstream industry" was resolved, and the "strategic layout" was clear and feasible. Based on the past and potential problems of Huishan, and considering the new situation and the advantages of its own development, the company has proposed some inspirations for the restructuring of the industry and the corresponding development suggestions.
The Validity of P/E Ratio Valuation: Evidence from A-share Listed Bank Companies
Authors: Gao Wenhui
Published: July 2023

Contemporarily, financial development with Chinese characteristics has been the core of the development of Chinese society. Meanwhile, the banking industry was the core of its financial system for more than ten years. With the adjustment of China’s policy in recent years, more and more urban and rural commercial banks have been listed in the A-share market. By the end of 2022, there are 42 listed banks in A-share market and 11 more companies were on the waiting list. The P/E ratio, as an index that also refers to stock price and financial report data, has been the focus of domestic and overseas capital markets. With the maturity of China’s capital market and the listing of more and more banks in the A-share market, evaluating the actual value of listed companies is crucial. By analyzing the cross-sectional 2021 financial reporting data of listed bank companies, this paper examines the relevant economic data that affect the P/E ratios of listed bank companies in China. According to the analysis, it provides reasonable suggestions for the decision-making of investors and the pricing of the initial public offering of the bank companies to be listed. In general, these results provide a basis for guiding the effectiveness of P/E valuation of listed banking companies in China, especially the pricing of IPOs of urban and rural commercial banks.
The Impact of Chairman's Education on IPO Price Underpricing -- Regulation of corporate P/E ratio
Authors: Sun Jialu
Published: July 2023

Based on behavioral finance theory, we empirically test the effect of the chairman's education on IPO price underpricing and analyze the moderating role played by the firm's P/E ratio. The results show that the chairman's education is significantly and positively related to IPO price underpricing, while the increase in the P/E ratio significantly mitigates the positive effect of the chairman's education on IPO price underpricing. Further study shows that the positive effect of the chairman's education on IPO price underpricing is more significant in stocks with low turnover rate, while the increase of firm P/E ratio better mitigates the positive effect of chairman's education on IPO price underpricing in stocks with high turnover rate; the positive effect of chairman's education on IPO price underpricing is more significant in firms with low R&D investment, while the increase of firm P/E ratio better mitigates the positive effect of chairman's education on IPO price underpricing in firms with high R&D investment. The positive effect of the chairman's education on IPO price underpricing is more significant in firms with low R&D investment, in contrast, the positive effect of the chairman's education on IPO price underpricing in firms with high R&D investment is better mitigated by the increase in firm P/E ratio. In addition, the effect of the chairman's education on IPO price underpricing is more significant when the chairman is also the CEO, and the moderating effect of the firm's P/E ratio on the relationship between the two is more significant.

Authors: Tsang Tsz Sen Javan
Published: July 2023

Numerous industries have been significantly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, including the coffee industry. People were forced to stay at home, many coffee shops had to shut down due to the lack of customers. However, as the pandemic subsides, the coffee market now is recovering and growing at a rapid pace. Now Starbucks has over 36,000 coffee stores around the world, covering 84 countries, while in the Chinese mainland, it operates more than 6,000+ stores in over 230 cities. It is expected that by 2025, the number of Starbucks coffee shops in China will reach 9,000, covering 300 cities. In contrast, Luckin Coffee, China's largest coffee chain, in the number of outlets in China, has surpassed Starbucks with 7,846 coffee shops as of Q3 2022 and in Jan 2023 the outlets exceeded 8,400 with the accelerated growth. This essay aims to study these two key players in the coffee industry, Starbucks and Luckin Coffee, to compare their financial data via the financial statement of Year 2021 and the stock movement from May 18, 2019, to Jun 30, 2020. This analysis will bring a deeper understanding of the two companies with investigations and observations with the respect of their financial and stock performance.

DUBIOUS APPENDICITIS TO BE ACCOMPANIED BY RIGHT XANTHOGRANULOMATOUS PYELONEPHRITIS: A CASE REPORT
Authors: Sitorus Novrita S. , Rachman Sulistyani A.
Published: July 2023

Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) is a rare chronic kidney infection that can cause a progressive decline in kidney function and lead to kidney removal or death. Symptoms of right flank pain due to XGP, sometimes radiating to the lower abdomen were difficult to assess and distinguish from urinary tract diseases alone or accompanied by the involvement of other organs like appendicitis. We report a fifty-year-old woman was referred because of a suspected mass in the right kidney based on ultrasound, but the results of the Ct-Scan with contrast showed stones and chronic parenchymal kidney with a tendency to right pyelonephritis. There were no post-contrast enhancing masses in both kidneys. Then, decided to perform a nephroureterectomy and found inflammation in her appendices. Histopathology showed xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis and chronic appendicitis. The patient was diagnosed with Chronic pyelonephritis based on CT-Scan, but the previous ultrasound showed no appendicitis, there was a mass in the right kidney. During nephroureterectomy, there were chronic appendicitis and Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis after histopathology examination. This report describes uncommon pyelonephritis and confirms the difficulty of differentiating right XGP from appendicitis, even though it occurred in a large city. Moreover, it can be a lesson for general practitioners to be more thorough in diagnosing right abdominal or flank pain.

A Designer Situation
Authors: Luo Yi
Published: July 2023

Designers are first and foremost members of society, sharing the same concerns around education, finance, career prospects, social status, and self-fulfillment as any other practitioners. The creative and humanistic nature of designer roles, however, often places them in an inferior position in meritocratic, progressivist systems. In a total of three sections, designers are contextualized in a scape of lived experiences, anecdotal evidence, statistics, investigative reports, and theoretical resources, interwoven to picture a specific contemporary designer situation. The Human Capital discussed the systemic occupational discrimination against designers made visible and measurable by the US and Canadian immigration offices, attributing this phenomenon to the awkward classification of academic disciplines, the poor understanding of designer roles at the administrative level, and the skewed emphasis on solving hard technical problems. It was argued that said skewed emphasis can be traced back to the setup of goals and incentives in the existing educational institutions, overshadowing the value of designers’ ability to solve real-world problems and improve the wellbeing of many. The (Great) Expectations touched on the homogenous admission schemes in China and the profound implications of Eurocentric ideologies on Chinese design students’ choice of postgrad education. These factors, combined with the disproportionate expansion of design schools in the UK and the less-than-transparent rankings that favored British schools, gave birth to a tutoring industry that aims at sending Chinese design students to the UK for higher education. The discrepancy between the expectations from the education systems and the requirements from the job market, however, contributed to a new norm where graduates from prestigious programs overseas went back to the sector where they once received tutoring, instead of working as designers in the field. The Job raised personal observations and reflections on graphic design jobs. Juxtaposed with David Graeber’s bullshit jobs theory, the repetitive, substitutable, and nonautonomous aspects were brought up to question the meaningfulness and prospects of the very occupation, followed by a brief mention of emergent AI image generators both as opportunities to reduce workload and threats to the job security of graphic designers. Further, it was argued that because corporate design principles were postulated upon unsustainable business models, when designers are doing good in a contemporary corporate context, there is the danger of them causing more harm in the long run than their “average” counterparts. Stefan Sagmeister and Jaron Lanier were referenced to call for more justified specifications of “good design” versus “bad design”, as well as more subversive transformations of corporate design principles and know-hows. As a semi-open closing mark, opportunities for improvement and reframing of the afore-mentioned situation were identified to evoke further discussions on the very status of designers.
A Lead User-Persona approach to eliminate communication barriers among stakeholders in co-design.
Authors: Feng Anran , Zhou Mengye , Li Wanjun , Wang Ziyi , Zhang Weiru , Chen Jing
Published: July 2023

An appropriate representative Persona is a critical factor in helping interaction design (IxD) innovation and product marketing succeed. Designers, users, and marketers usually work together as stakeholders to build Persona. However, researchers have noted that differences in understanding among stakeholders lead to Persona being created but not used well. Therefore, utilizing a mobile photographing market investigation project as a case study, this study proposes a new approach called Lead user-Persona. The core aim of the Lead-User Persona method is to help stakeholders reduce differences in persona understanding. Researchers use hybrid qualitative and quantitative approaches to find and analyze users’ information and ultimately build Lead-User Persona. At the end of this project, researchers invited project stakeholders to find IxD insight and fill out the satisfaction report. The results show that the Lead-user Persona can improve stakeholders' satisfaction with communication and creation.
Communication of a Theater play. An exploration from graphic design.
Authors: Lameiro Monica
Published: July 2023

We observe how the versatility of the discipline of graphic design can incorporate its theoretical and practical knowledge of other artistic and cultural fields, such as, in this case, theatre. The interpretation of a play goes beyond the creation of scenarios or the artistic representation itself. It also requires an appropriate communication strategy to present the work in its entirety to society and capture the audience necessary for the business structure to be sustainable. This is where we focused our study area and detected a problem: how can we enhance the communication of a theatre play through design? At this point, the work is directed towards professional practice where the participating designers can interpret from their practical knowledge the characteristics and qualities of a given position to provide their graphic solution. This study focuses on exploring and comparing the practices of a selection of design professionals, specialists in this area to define which conditions and requirements should be taken into account in the briefing initially proposed in the design of this type of cultural communication as a starting point between: the creator of the play (the stage); the exhibitions of the theatre company (the performance); and the design of social dissemination (communication).
Types and Role of the Bullet Point System in Reading Experience
Authors: Ho Amic
Published: July 2023

In the age of information, information overload is projected to grow. The best techniques are sought to reach layperson audiences or readers with a unique message. Designers and information architects care about this. Thus publishing design and print communication must explore new ways to organise information for high reader impact and a more humanistic approach than before. This method requires writers to grasp readers' attention while reading. Hence, bullet points may highlight crucial themes when writing. Bullet points assist readers' reading and comprehension. Understanding ideas helps readers accept them and so bullet points improve information processing. Bullet points have been styled using points, lines, and various forms in publication design and commercial communication. However, there are not enough data to provide bullet point suggestions. Incorrect bullet point styles might impact information processing and document authority. Therefore, bullet points' effects on readers' emotions and information processing must be studied. This study examines the bullet point system and how it helps in the organisation and typesetting of texts. Bullet point categories' information-interpretation efficacy will be examined.

Published: July 2023

Work environment is characterized as unstable and unpredictable. Accordingly, employees need to adapt to and cope with radical changes occurring in the work and social environment. Based on previous literature, leaders may play a central role in helping employees to deal with complexity and to respond to various pressures. Although the previous studies have broadly discussed the appropriateness of using different leadership styles for organizational and employee effectiveness, nonetheless the domain of employee well-being tackling it from the SCARF model perspective remains somewhat neglected. Moreover, although the number of employees working in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) jobs is growing, there is still a gap in analyzing STEM workers’ well-being and the factors influencing it. The aim of the paper is to reveal the impact of the transactional and transformational leadership styles on employee well-being in terms of the way the status, certainty, autonomy, relatedness, and fairness perceived by STEM workers could be enhanced or reduced by leaders. With this in mind, interviews were conducted with STEM workers. The core findings revealed the duality of both leadership styles, where both styles served as antecedents for enhancing or reducing employee well-being. The paper calls for rethinking the leadership style while striving for STEM workers’ and organizational sustainability.

Overall, computer vision based food recognition hasthe potential to revolutionize the way we think aboutfood and nutrition, and could have a significant impact on public health. Which uses Computer vision is a field of artificial intelligence that enables computersto interpret and understand the visual world. One application of computervision is food recognition, which involves using a machine learning model to identify and classify different types of food based on their visual characteristics. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are a type of neural network that is particularly well- suited for image classification tasks. They can be trained to recognize patterns in images and classify them based on those patterns. To build a food recognition system using CNNs, you would need to first collect a dataset of images of different types of food. You would then use this dataset to train a CNN to classify the images into different categories, such as fruits, vegetables, meats, etc. Once you have trained your model,you can use it to classify new images of food and determine their nutritional content. This can be done by using the classification results tolook up the nutritional information for each type of food in a database. Over all, using a CNN for food recognition and nutrition analysis can be a useful tool for applications such as helping people tracks their dietary intake or providing recommendations for healthy meals.
