Research of the Pollution in Ocean
Authors: Gao Yuancheng
Published: June 2023

The ocean is boundless and provides resources for the survival of creatures on the earth, so the development of human beings is inseparable from the ocean. However, with the development of human society, marine pollution is an inevitable global problem that has not been fully understood and controlled. It has threatened human health and the environment. Among them, marine plastic pollution caused by humans is present in all oceans around the world and is a concern due to its persistence, complexity, steady growth and its pervasive impact on all aspects of ecosystems. This problem requires holistic environmental remediation solutions on a global scale. Solutions to marine plastic pollution can be divided into two categories: environmental and artificial. In human society, the production of plastic can be reduced by making laws. At the same time, promote progress in plastic recycling, thereby reducing the flow of plastic waste into the ocean. In addition, equipment for cleaning pollution can also be invented and put into the governance of marine environmental problems. This article summarizes the scientific knowledge of the impacts of marine plastic pollution and methods to save the marine environment through a literature review and qualitative analysis.

Authors: Zhu Yiwen , Wen Jin , Wu Fiona , Zou Chunan
Published: June 2023

This paper mainly explores the specific significance of climate sensitivity and the various methods to assess it. In this paper, three major methods to calculate climate sensitivity are evaluated, including direct observation, climate models, and paleoclimate dataset. Direct observation utilizes instrument records to obtain environment data since the mid-19thcentury. Climate models simulate physical processes in the environment to analyse the increase in temperature resulted from the doubling of atmospheric CO2 concentration. Paleoclimate dataset reconstructs past climate based on some natural resources, such as ocean sediments. Paleoclimate dataset and climate models often work together to calculate climate sensitivity.

Authors: Xing Hong
Published: June 2023

Since the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century, social productivity has made a qualitative leap. At the same time, diseases and climate change caused by industrialization have also brought new challenges to the earth's ecology and human health. This paper will focus on the impact of climate change and extreme temperature events (ETEs) on the Earth's ecology to date, as well as the threat to humans health and living environment. The heat that is produced as a result of global warming brought on by climate change will offer enormous kinetic energy to the air and oceans, which will lead to the formation of devastating storms such as typhoons, hurricanes, and tsunamis. In the meanwhile, climate change will also influence the physiological function of human beings. The spread of various physiological diseases will breed new physiological diseases, such as respiratory diseases, heart diseases, viral diseases, bacterial diseases, etc., which will greatly affect the living environment of human beings.The potential benefits of climate change in particular regions will also be analyzed. Finally, this paper summarizes the coping and adaptation methods of climate change, which may provide ideas for future research.

Authors: Wang Runting
Published: June 2023

Nowadays, polylactic acid (PLA) has been one of the most important packaging materials in daily life. PLA is eco-friendly because it can be made from renewable resources and is degradable, but it also has a drawback that is lack of toughening. In this review, papers about 3 main methods that could help improve the toughening of the PLA have been collected. They are blending, copolymerization and composition. Blending is a physical method to make the materials uniformly to improve the properties of the material. Copolymerization is the reaction of polymerizing various compounds into one substance under certain conditions. Composition is the termination of reaction by combining two growing free radicals to form a saturated macromolecule. This work will give some exact examples to improve the toughening of the PLA. It is expected that there will be better research methods and materials that are able to improve the toughness of PLA in the future.

Published: June 2023

Designing new inhibitors and understanding the mechanisms responsible for the inhibition are required in developing techniques to prevent corrosion. A new azaacene organic corrosion inhibitor, DQP (dibenzo[a,c]quinoxalino (2,3-i)phenazine), for mild steel in an acidic medium was successfully synthesized, characterized and reported for the first time using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and Potentiodynamic polarization measurement techniques (PDP). Surface morphologies and average percentage by weight of elements existing in mild steel were determined by SEM-EDX. The alterations in the impedance characteristics showed that DQP inhibitor adsorbed to the surface of mild steel, resulting in the creation of a protective coating. At the maximal concentration of 2.618 x 10-5 M, the inhibition efficiency reached 98.02% demonstrating DQP effectiveness in reducing corrosion process that may occur in mild steel in HCl. However, this efficiency is weakened by increase in temperature. The PDP curve revealed that DQP functions as a mixed inhibitor but is mostly cathodic. The adsorption behavior of DQP was best supported by the Langmuir adsorption isotherm (R2 = 0.9837) while the adsorption-free energy (G0ads) ranging from -41.749 to -43.183 kJmol-1 indicate chemical adsorption on metal surface. This study demonstrates that the synthesized DQP functions admirably well as a corrosion inhibitor in HCl solution.

Analysis of the Spillover Effect of the US Quantitative Easing Policy on China's Multi-level Bond Market
Authors: Jiang Minwei , Lin Ziyan , Zhang Ying
Published: June 2023

This paper focuses on the spillover effect of quantitative easing (QE) policy adopted by the United States on China's multi-level bond market under the outbreak of the epidemic in 2020. Since the US launched QE in March 2020 and ended it in October 2021, this paper selects the yields of one-year treasury bonds, financial bonds, and local government bonds in this period to represent different issuers and selects US non-borrowed reserve as an indicator to measure the level of capital overflow. Then, this paper adopts vector autoregressive (VAR) model for empirical analysis. The results of the model represent that the QE has some influence on China’s bond market, and this impact has different effects on the bonds of different issuers. Compared with financial debt and local government debt, national debt is less impacted, and its impact time lags behind others’. The possible reason is that the bonds issued by different issuers have different abilities to bear market risks, so they react in various ways. Finally, based on the research results, this paper puts forward some policy suggestions combined with the current situation.
Spillover Effect of U.S. Quantitative Easing Policy on China’s Economy
Authors: Chang Manjun
Published: June 2023

In the context of economic globalization, the independence of monetary policy in each of the world's economies is declining. This is mostly demonstrated by the substantial economic spillovers that financial policy changes have on other countries' economies. The last two decades have witnessed a dramatic change in US monetary policy, which is the implementation and withdrawal of Quantitative Easing. The existing literature examining the spillover effects of US Quantitative Easing on the Chinese economy is mainly based on one specific channel. However, it lacks a complete framework of transmission channels. This paper reviews these findings and outlines a conceptual framework that unifies them. The framework comprehensively analyses the spillover effects of the US Quantitative Easing from three channels, which are the interest rate channel, trade channel and commodity price transmission channel. By analyzing its impact on China's economy in a comprehensive manner, it will help China's government better grasp the current international economic situation and better deal with the shocks to China's economic growth caused by changes in the monetary policies of other countries.

Research On the Impact of Margin Trading on The Stock Idiosyncratic Volatility
Authors: Zhao Qian , Zhou Caixia
Published: June 2023

In classical asset pricing model, expected stock return is only determined by systematic risk, and idiosyncratic risk can be completely dispersed without asset pricing effect. However, the real world and the assumptions of classical asset pricing model are different, as idiosyncratic risk cannot be completely dispersed and has pricing effect. Recent studies found that the stock idiosyncratic volatility can actually predict stock return negatively, indicating the existence of the " Idiosyncratic volatility puzzle" in the Chinese stock market. There are constraints on margin trading in the Chinese stock market, which can affect investors' investment behavior and expectation of stock return. This article adopts difference-in-differences model and multivariable linear regression mode to test the impact of margin trading on idiosyncratic volatility, and further investigate the impact of margin trading on the " Idiosyncratic volatility puzzle ". The research results found that: In the process from the establishment of the margin trading system to the gradual expansion of underlying stocks, the impact of margin trading on idiosyncratic volatility has shifted from a positive impact to a negative impact. That is to say, margin trading has transitioned from initially increasing idiosyncratic volatility to later reducing idiosyncratic volatility, gradually playing a role in price discovery and reducing idiosyncratic risk in the stock market. The gradual improvement of the margin trading system is driving the development and maturity of the Chinese stock market.

Exploration of Re-Oriental Tendencies in Shamsie’s Burnt Shadows and Home Fire: Re-Orientalization of the Orient
Authors: Yasmin Khan Mamona , Farwa Umme
Published: June 2023

Re-orientalization of the modern orient has become a new phenomenon in South Asian Literature. This research tended to analyze the re-oriental tendencies in Shamsie’s critically acclaimed novels Burnt Shadows and Home Fire. Lau’s (2009) framework of Re-Orientalism was selected for the analysis along with the basic concepts of Said’s (1979) Orientalism. Within this framework, the researcher selected ten random samples from both novels for textual analysis. The analysis reveals that the modern orient encounters more hate and prejudice in the host country for being an orient and a diaspora Muslim. The new orient has been labeled as a terrorist under the concept of Islamophobia. This representation, interestingly, was not given by the Occident but by the postcolonial writer itself. Post-9/11 fiction highlights the settling issues of the modern orients significantly which make it different from the traditional ways of writing. A linguistic and pragmatic analysis of both novels can be done. Both novels can be compared in terms of similarities and differences in the linguistic styles of diasporic male authors.

Risk, Reward and Uncertainty in Buyer-Seller Transactions – The Seller’s View on Combining Posted Prices and Auctions –
Authors: Ivanova-Stenzel Radosveta , Kröger Sabine
Published: June 2023

In Buy-It-Now auctions, sellers can post a take-it-or-leave-it price offer prior to an auction. While the literature almost exclusively looks at buyers in such combined mechanisms, the current paper summarizes results from the sellers’ point of view. Buy-It-Now auctions are complex mechanisms and therefore quite challenging for sellers. The paper discusses the seller’s curse, a bias that sellers might fall prey to in such combined mechanisms, and how experience counterbalances this bias. Furthermore, the paper explores the role of information and bargaining power on behavior and profit prospects in Buy-It-Now auctions.

The interaction parameters, such as total mass attenuation coefficient (μm), effective atomic number (Zeff), effective electron density (Neff), mean free path (MFP), half-value layer (HVL) and tenth-value layer (TVL) were computed as a function of energy between 1 keV-100 GeV, while the atomic equivalent (Zeq) and the buildup factors were calculated with 0.015 MeV-15 MeV energy range using Phy-X software. Moreover, all obtained values were compared with calculated ones using WinXCom program over the same energy range. Both calculation processes represent the μm reduction by following the energy increment. The Zeff and Neff show a similar trend depending on the energy range and have some discrete values at low energy. These discontinuous values correspond to the absorption edges which were also found in the μm calculation at same energy. The trends of MFP, HVL, and TVL are similar in that their highest values appear in the middle energy range with main interaction being Compton scattering. The buildup factors represent the multiple scattering of photons in materials and air with the main peaks in middle energy range.

Published: June 2023

A CO2 laser produces infrared photons that are largely absorbed by the skin and cause morphological alterations. Twenty-four (Wistar) rats weighing 290-380 g and ranging in age from 8 months to a year were chosen at random and divided into sixteen rats for histological examination and eight rats for tensile testing to determine the extent of injury caused by photothermal damage induced by multiple doses of a CO2 laser. Anesthesia was achieved with intramuscular doses of 10 mg/kg ketamine and 60 mg/kg Xylazine. Two equal 0.5 cm surgical incisions of rat dorsal skin were performed on the left and right sides. One was utilized as a control while the other was subjected to a 10600 nm CO2 laser at various power levels (12.5, 14.1, 15.6, and 17.2) W/cm2. According to the histological analysis, the non-irradiated skin appeared to be flawless, and normal skin layers were observed. The amount of radiation in the irradiated skin samples was closely related to tissue damage. Higher dosages of irradiation resulted in the most severe cellular mutilation. Tissue injury manifested as epidermal obliteration, coagulation, homogeneous hyalinization, and hair loss. The effects of CO2 laser interaction with the skin were explored in-depth in this study. Exposure to the CO2 laser resulted in severe burns and coagulation.
Equity incentive, separation of two rights and corporate performance: research on corporate governance based on two types of agency costs
Authors: Li Zhuwei , Liu Hanwen , Jiang Yu
Published: June 2023

This paper discusses the impact of equity incentive and the separation of two rights on corporate performance and the intermediary role of two kinds of agency costs by using the revised stepwise method taking A-share listed companies as the research object and using the Jones model to remove the impact of earnings management on corporate performance. The classification of industry and nature is introduced to further judge the heterogeneity of the conclusions. The results show that equity incentive can significantly reduce the first kind of agency cost and improve corporate performance, but the intermediary effect of the first kind of agency cost between equity incentive and corporate performance is not significant. Limiting the degree of separation of the two rights can significantly reduce the second kind of agency cost to improve corporate performance, and the second kind of agency cost has a partial intermediary effect between the degree of separation of the two rights and corporate performance. The results of different industries are heterogeneous and need to be treated differently. It is further found that non-state-owned enterprises can improve corporate performance through governance measures, but state-owned enterprises have not achieved a significant governance effect. This paper clarifies the black box between corporate governance and corporate performance from the effects of the two types of agency costs and effectively supplements the existing research system, which also provides a reference for market regulators to formulate policies.
Facilitation of Value Creation in Professional Learning Networks

Published: June 2023

Professional learning networks (PLN) in Higher Education represent new social configurations for networked workplaces in which education, research and innovation can be combined. Here academic staff engages with others outside of their everyday organisational community. This study identifies and conceptualizes essential behaviours that facilitators of professional learning networks use to promote value creation of various kinds.

The two-phase study started with an empirical field study on the value creation stories of 11 participants within 3 professional networks to investigate essential facilitator behaviours. A panel study including 30 researchers, lecturers and practitioners representing a wide range of learning and innovation networks, was conducted to validate and enrich the findings derived from the field study.

From the field study 54 facilitator behaviours were identified. The panel study raised 68 complementary statements on essential facilitator behaviours. Qualitative data analysis lead to five themes of facilitator behaviour. Facilitators’ contributions to value creation in networked workplace contexts can be understood as the interplay of five foci of facilitative behaviour: 1. relationship, 2. space, 3. ownership, 4. direction, 5. result. Findings concerning facilitator behaviours are synthesised in an conceptualisation of the process dynamic of value creation in networked workplaces: The Facilitator Compass.

This paper provides insight on what plays a major role in the success of professional networks: the way they are facilitated. While the role of a facilitator is acknowledged in literature and in practice, this study adds to the knowledge base by showing how academic staff can navigate for value creation in networked workplaces.
Quan el marquès de pestanya fa cagar el tió
Authors: Hernández de Fuenmayor Pau Joan
Published: June 2023

La traducció de literatura infantil i juvenil entre llengües properes implica algunes dificultats específiques. Cal tenir en compte que la característica intel·lectual del lector infantil és que té intel·ligència, però no cultura. Això porta sovint a adaptar textos i expressions, sense tenir en compte l’atractiu estètic de l’estranyament ni els perills d’aquestes adaptacions, que poden arruïnar l’original. També és molt important fixar-se en el model de llengua que utilitza el traductor, que ha de ser al mateix temps rica i accessible. L’autor tracta tots aquests temes no des d’un punt de vista acadèmic, sinó des de la seva experiència personal com a traductor, escriptor i adaptador.
De la invisibilidad a la subversión: la nota del traductor en «Nota al pie», de Rodolfo Walsh
Authors: Gimeno Ugalde Esther
Published: June 2023

Este ensayo sostiene que «Nota al pie» de Rodolfo Walsh, ejemplo precursor de la llamada «transficción», puede interpretarse como una forma de resistencia a la noción de la traducción como actividad literaria secundaria o «de segunda clase», a la vez que invita a repensar la posición marginal del traductor en favor de su papel activo como agente del proceso creativo de escritura. Mediante el uso subversivo de la nota al pie, el traductor-narrador de este cuento se apropia de la autoridad discursiva para poner en cuestionamiento la tradicional lógica jerárquica entre «texto principal» y «margen inferior». Aunque lo haga de forma póstuma, el protagonista del relato consigue su ansiada visibilidad, demostrando que la traducción es también una forma de (re)escritura, pues no en vano su nota es clave para realizar una lectura «completa», no parcial, de la ficción que el lector tiene entre sus manos, forzándole a una lectura a contrapelo del supuesto «texto principal».
Humor, cultura y cómics: transgresiones en la traducción subordinada en el aula
Authors: Carrión González Paola
Published: June 2023

Este breve trabajo pretende analizar en contexto docente universitario la importancia del elemento cultural durante el proceso traductológico, poniendo como ejemplo la traducción del humor en una tipología literaria única: el cómic. A través de la traducción FR-ES de la obra Ab Absurdo, del autor belga Marc Dubuisson, se observarán las peculiaridades presentadas por este formato literario, así como las necesidades adaptativas de los elementos lingüístico-culturales enmarcadas en un contexto de traducción subordinada. La clasificación de tales dificultades, así como la frecuencia de uso de las técnicas empleadas para solventarlas, arrojarán luz sobre la pertinencia de procedimientos más cercanos al método interpretativo-comunicativo, en detrimento de una literalidad que se aleja de la función principal del texto: el humor.
