Authors: Dai Wenyue
Published: December 2022

Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2019, economies around the world have been affected and disrupted. Global value chains, which should be based on mutual trust and international division of labor, have been shaken by trade frictions and the impact of the epidemic. In the aftermath of the outbreak, many countries began to restrict exports involving vital resources and commodities related to their economies and livelihoods to protect their economies, especially in developed countries. These practices will lead to a restructuring of global value chains centered on Chinese manufacturing, which in turn will affect China's position in global value chains. This paper hopes to scientifically argue the epidemic’s impact on global value chains with the help of global data. By quantifying the data, we visualize the changes in global value chains and the impact on China with graphs. And some feasible suggestions are proposed for this phenomenon.

This paper analyzes the feasible positioning of beauty products under the characteristics of Generation Z consumption for China’s beauty industry and how relevant makeup brands could optimize and combine consumption channels to maximize the marketing effect.

Option pricing and risk hedging for Apple
Authors: Zou Leyu
Published: December 2022

The Black Sholes Merton (BSM) model is one of the fundamental stochastics models in quantitative finance and the Merton Jump diffusion (MJ) model. This paper examines how BSM, and MJ behave on the European pricing based on 10 options chosen for Apple Inc, with BSM using RRS, SSE, and Historical Volatility, and MJ using SSE as calibration methods. Then delta-neutral hedging strategy is performed using the BSM on the historical data collected from the concessive 10 days. The BSM with RRS and SSE when pricing should be preferred, and the results are similar. The MJ and the BSM using Historical Volatility, however, do not work well when pricing. The delta-neutral hedging strategy is not ideal in this case, since it results in lower profits. The result possesses valuable insights for quantitative finance that calibration methods can significantly influence the accuracy of pricing, and the hedging method can limit the maximum profit.

Research on the Tendency Relationship between Individual Stock and Stock Index
Authors: Jiao Xiangyue , Liu Songyang , Wang Zixuan
Published: December 2022

This paper mainly centers on exploring the tendency relationship between individual stock and stock index using CAPM method. The research chooses the stock of Apple Inc. as an individual stock and S&P 500 as the stock index. Then CAPM is used to tests indicating that this model does not fit the rate of return on Apple very well. Therefore, this paper explores the possible reasons behind the phenomenon and refers to some constructive improvements in the evaluation of expected rate of return on individual stocks under the influence of the stock index. One reason is probably that AAPL is so powerful a corporation that it is extremely immune to anomalous volatility of the stock market, which implies that unsystematic risk dominates the trend of stock of Apple Inc. Therefore, this paper suggests that CAPM model should only be applied when the target company is a small-sized or medium-sized one that is prone to the fluctuation of the stock market.

Since Russia is important energy exporter in the world, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine became a world focus nowadays. According to former researchers’ works, we choose the event analysis method to gain an insight into the typical effect on energy sector caused by this conflict and give two hypotheses. Firstly, we propose that the event would have a negative shock on the energy career showed with volatilities of index. And then we present that the fungibility of energy industry remains the stability of returns of index and stocks. By extracting returns and volatilities of SP500 index and returns of the Great consumption index of China from Wind database, also filtrating the famous energy sector U.S. stocks based on the list in the Eastern Wealth, we prove the assumptions with examining the significance of statistics. Using the event analysis method to examine the difference of before and after the event, we get the results which indicate the significances of volatilities of SP500 index. But the returns of SP500 index, the Great consumption index of China, and U.S. stocks do not show the significance differences. Contents above prove two assumptions we mentioned before. It is honorable for us that this research might be practical to offer advice and give a little guidance for market investors.

Analysis of the Awareness, Perception, and Adoption of
Biosecurity Measures by Slaughterhouse Workers in
Koinadugu District, Sierra Leone
Authors: Sesay Abdul Rahman , Kallon Sanpha , Sesay Mahmud Emkay
Published: December 2022

Slaughterhouse workers are more susceptible to zoonotic disease infections from
cuts and bloodletting, spreading blood-borne pathogens to societies. Adopting biosecurity
measures by slaughterhouse workers in their daily tasks can lower the risk of spreading
zoonotic diseases while improving food safety. This study aims to examine slaughterhouse
workers' awareness of biosecurity, their perception of the efficiency of biosecurity measures
in reducing zoonotic infections, and, most crucially, their adoption of such measures. The
research was carried out in Sierra Leone's Northern Province's Koinadugu district. A total
of 18 slaughterhouses were randomly selected in six chiefdoms of the Koinadugu district.
A semi-structured questionnaire was used to survey 87 slaughterhouse workers in the 18
slaughterhouses selected in the six chiefdoms. The data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel
version 2016 software. Results show that most slaughterhouse workers (87.4%) are well
aware of biosecurity measures. They perceived cleaning and disinfecting the materials and
equipment used in the slaughterhouse (x̄ = 4.43), as well as the workplace itself (x̄ = 4.33),
and receiving proper training (x̄ = 4.33) as crucial biosecurity measures. The results also
reveal little use of personal protective equipment by slaughterhouse workers (27%). There is
low adoption of biosecurity measures by slaughterhouse workers in the district. Corruption
and inadequate funding of relevant institutions affect the enforcement of biosecurity
legislation in the district. Therefore, education and training programs can improve
slaughterhouse workers' knowledge and understanding of biosecurity measures. Also, good
governance should be fostered at all institutional levels to increase the effectiveness and
efficiency of public sector service delivery.

Seventy eighth-graders from a rural middle school took part in the research. Analyses of both quantitative data (mean and standard deviation) and qualitative data (interviews and observations) were conducted. There were three tiers of students' critical thinking abilities, with 15 students (21.91%) scoring in the high range, 40 students (57.83%) scoring in the intermediate range, and 15 students (23.47%) scoring in the low range. An examination of qualitative data revealed that this kind of instruction inspired pupils to seek out information on their own initiative and with great enthusiasm. This research revealed the state of students' critical thinking abilities in middle school, particularly as it relates to the topic of environmental change, where they have lagged behind. Therefore, the use of non-traditional teaching methods to foster critical thinking in pupils is urgently required. More than that, the COVID-19 pandemic provided data on the integration of the discovery learning approach with e-learning in an Islamic school.

This study examines the changing employment and livelihood patterns of rural labour households in tribal villages of eastern India. The study is based on the high frequency panel data collected under the ICAR-ICRISAT project on Village Dynamics Studies in eastern India from 2010 to 2014. The findings revealed that the work participation rate of landless labour households had a declining trend whereas that of land owning labour households had a mixed trend in tribal villages of Jharkhand. The employment in the farm sector declined for males but increased for women. Employment in non-farm sectors registered an increase in both the genders and the magnitude of the increase was higher in the non-farm sector as compared to the farm sector. Similar trend was observed for wage rate which showed faster growth in the non-farm wage compared to the farm wage. Both the sectors witnessed an increase in the labourerâ€™s wages during the past four years, however, the increase was much higher in the non-farm sector than the farm sector. The study also indicated that male labourers were employed at higher wages than their female counterparts in both sectors but the difference was narrowed down during last four years. A wage determinant analysis revealed that a healthy, educated, landowning adult male labour is likely to get higher wages than others. Non-farm wage employment is emerging as the most important source of income on labour households contributing 63 to 74% to their total income. The survey further revealed that income from farming constituted only 6 to 13% of the total income of labour households, but it showed increasing trend due to implementation of various mega agricultural development projects in the state.
