Authors: Berliana Nur Maulida  , Tumirin Tumirin
Published: January 2025

This study aims to examine the influence of Accounting Information Systems (AIS) and Internal Control Systems (ICS) on the quality of financial statements, with Good Corporate Governance (GCG) as a moderating variable. This quantitative research employs Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis on 36 respondents from Eyelink Group. The results indicate that AIS and ICS do not significantly affect the quality of financial statements. However, GCG has a significant effect on the quality of financial statements and strengthens the relationship between AIS and financial statement quality. GCG does not show significant moderation in the relationship between ICS and financial statement quality. This study highlights the importance of implementing effective GCG to improve financial statement quality and support optimal AIS implementation.
Environmental Benefits of New Energy Vehicles: Co2 Emissions of Electric and Hybrid Vehicles
Authors: Tang Le
Published: January 2025

New energy vehicles (NEV) are considered vital to deal with environmental issues. NEVs use clean energy such as electricity and hydrogen as their fuel, allowing them to accomplish carbon-free emission during driving conditions. This paper analyses two major types of NEVs, electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles’ carbon footprint through their lifecycle, including manufacturing, usage and end-of-life recycling. The results shows that NEVs have a significant advantage over ICEVs with respect to environmental benefits which they can bring. Although NEVs have a higher CO2 emission in the manufacturing stage and the electricity largely comes from burning fossil fuels, the combined drawback is completely overshadowed by NEVs’ high energy utilization rate and their green drivetrain.
Applications of Nanorobots in Targeted Therapy for Cancer
Authors: Duan Yanchao
Published: January 2025

Nanorobots have broad application prospects in the field of targeted cancer therapy. First, this paper summarizes the basic concepts of nanorobots, classifies and introduces their diverse species, and then summarizes the unique characteristics of nanorobots at the physiological level, especially the influence of their size and shape on the targeting mechanism, and the key role of material selection in biocompatibility. In view of the urgent need for cancer treatment, this paper analyzes the research route of nanorobots in this field in detail and discusses their application principles as targeted therapy tools. Nanobots provide new solutions for cancer treatment through precise targeting mechanisms and efficient drug loading and release strategies. In addition, this paper highlights innovations in the way nanorobots are driven and manipulated, especially their ability to move in a directional manner in response to external stimuli (e.g., magnetic, light, acoustic, or electric), which significantly improves the precision and efficiency of treatment. However, the application of nanorobots in targeted cancer therapy also faces many risks and challenges, including the limitations of real-time in vivo observation and imaging technology, and the safety of long-term use. These challenges are both a test of existing technologies and a key driver for the further development of nanorobotics. Finally, this paper looks forward to the future development of nanorobots and points out the importance of interdisciplinary cooperation and technological innovation to overcome existing problems and promote the vigorous development of nanomedicine. Nanorobots are expected to play a more important role in cancer treatment and other medical fields and make greater contributions to the cause of human health.
Take and Eat. Creation and Disgust in mother! by Darren Aronofsky
Authors: Francesconi Greta
Published: January 2025

In 2017, at the end of the screening for the 74th Venice International Film Festival, the audience left the cinema reacting to mother! by Darren Aronofsky with whistles and ex- pressions of outrage. The film is embedded in the members of the audience through the choice of a semi-subjective protagonist, mother, closing them inside the house from which she herself is unable to leave. Her husband, a poet in creative crisis, regulates the narra- tive. The house, the world, the womb: a pure environment intimately related to the body of the mother and her maternal function, principle and nature of everything. This symbolic and sacred order will be progressively deconstructed by an escalation of impurities and invasion: the violence induced by the human beings themselves, will cause an ineffable fall into abjection made of disturbing esoteric calls, mixtures of flesh and matter. Ever greater degrees of abomination erupt in what we realize to be an allegory of the biblical creation in its primary concept of origin, genesis of life on Earth. Relying on the analysis that Julia Kristeva makes of the semiotics of biblical abomination, we can see in mother! a mixture of blood and promise of fecundation that Aronofsky uses to reveal the evil, the tendency to murder and the death drive of humanity. These are degenerative and devour- ing elements that will culminate in infanticidal theophagy, unleashing the phantasmatic force of the mother, abused and emptied, until the total decay of a vengeful destruction. Unlike an apocalyptic cinema that hopes for a new beginning after the end of things, we are witnessing monstrous resignation – mixed with attraction and repulsion – for a limit that, once crossed, can no longer be traced. Cinema acts by forcing us to look in a mirror, revealing the disgusting animality inherent in the human.
Lo spazio del disgusto. Materialità e subalternità in Carolina Maria De Jesus
Authors: Desprini Mara
Published: January 2025

The concept of disgust is generally associated with the sensorial sphere of our body and is identified with a feeling of instinctive repulsion towards something that causes discom- fort. It has different meanings that emphasize its physical, ethical and social component. According to Darwin, disgust is one of the six primary sensations as it generates repul- sion, but for repulsion to occur as an immediate reaction, it must be re-symbolized through an interpretative action that occurs cognitively. Paraphrasing W. I. Miller (1997), disgust contributes to structure the world through the power of images and to internalize moral, collective and political attitudes. In this perspective, disgust is configured as a social catalyst, capable of creating isolated urban spaces of exclusion and marginality. In the novel Quarto de Despejo (1960) Carolina Maria de Jesus represents the existential conditions of a woman on the margins of society in a favela on the outskirts of São Paulo where she is forced to sell garbage to survive. The space of the favela is configured as a place of the marginalized, unwanted, victim of disgust by society. In the same way Caro- lina feels aversion towards São Paulo, which she defines as a «sick city», a symbol of exploitation, discrimination and violence. In the novel the physical element of garbage plays an important role and induces the protagonist to an act of internalization with which she projects the negative qualities of waste onto herself, in this way, she becomes the object and subject of disgust. Thus represented, disgust becomes a threat to one’s dignity, to the sense of belonging to a specific or abstract group, that is, to humanity. The language of the novel takes on forms of disgust in the representations of objects and waste that shape the surrounding space, which has now also become a theater of the repugnant. Car- olina Maria De Jesus more or less consciously consolidates her relationship with the ex- cluding space in which she moves by assuming the characteristics of the social marginalized.
The ‘Almost Completed House’: An Introduction to the Economic and Monetary Union
Authors: Marinkás György
Published: January 2025

The first part of this chapter will focus on the asymmetric nature of the Economic and Monetary Union and the lack of proper supervision in its initial form. The second part will elaborate on how an adequate supervision system – the Banking Union – was created after the 2010 Greek sovereign debt crisis. This chapter introduces the phases of the creation of the Banking Union and its already-functioning three pillars and examines their roles by analysing three main sources: the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, the reviews of European Union institutions (or reviews completed under their aegis), and scholarly opinions. The third part focuses on three sets of crisis management strategies of the European Central Bank: those enacted in response to the Greek sovereign debt crisis, those enacted in response to the negative economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and those enacted in response to the most recent issue, the consequences of the Russo-Ukrainian War. Regarding the Greek sovereign debt crisis, this section dispenses with introducing the related monetary measures in detail since very rich literature on this topic already exists; instead, the focus is on the legal disputes around the response, especially the Public Sector Purchase Program of the European Central Bank.
Romania: Social Acceptance, Unmet Criteria
Authors: Bíró Bíborka Eszter
Published: January 2025

The present chapter explores the most important monetary policy issues in Romania; specifically presents Romania’s state of preparedness for joining the euro area, its place and role in the banking union (as an outsider but EU Member State), and the measures it took during the crisis. This chapter also examines the different components of the Maastricht criteria, such as the price stability criterion, government budgetary position criterion, exchange rate stability criterion, and interest rate convergence criterion. A short detour is made to discuss the real convergence criteria in addition to the nominal criteria. Moreover, the most important findings referring to Romania in the Flash Eurobarometer Report are presented, providing insights into public opinion concerning the adoption of the common currency. Subsequently, aspects related to the banking union, the Single Rulebook, and banking supervision are explored. In this context, it is important to mention that Romania follows a dual supervisory mechanism, in which banking supervision requires a national authority (the National Bank of Romania) in addition to the European one. However, as Eurozone banks own a large part of the Romanian banking system, the Single Supervisory Mechanism, the domestic supervisory authority of Eurozone banks, is a key partner of the National Bank of Romania. Further, this chapter discusses the monetary aspects of crisis management processes, the most important decisions of the Governing Council of the National Bank of Romania on monetary policy issues from 2020 to 2023, why the monetary policy interest rate changed from 1.25%/year at the beginning of 2021 to 7% at the beginning of 2023 (where it remained until October 2023), and changes in the inflation rate.
Research on the Role of Attachment Style on the Dynamics of Romantic Relationship
Authors: Ouyang Xinyue
Published: January 2025

This paper explores the practical implications of attachment style in romantic relationships, grounded in attachment theory, which examines the emotional bonds formed between infants and their caregivers during early childhood. The study examines how attachment styles developed in infancy influence romantic relationships in adulthood, including their impact on mental models, attachment histories, and relationship stability. A literature review is conducted on a recent study that conceptualizes romantic love as an attachment process, analyzing the role of attachment styles in relationship dissolution and how individuals with varying attachment styles respond to breakups. The result shows that different attachment styles formed in early childhood persist and can predict the emotional bond in adult romantic relationships. Securely attached individuals experience more happiness and security in romantic relationships, while those with anxious attachments are associated with more insecurity and high distress when facing relational termination. Avoidant attachment style is a predictor of relational termination, as they experience minimal stress and relaxation after relationship dissolution. The convergence of these two research is instrumental in understanding the lasting impact of early childhood attachment on the dynamics of romantic love in adult life, and its practical implications for relationship counseling and therapy
Making the Stage Echo Infinitely - Analysing the Additions to the Original Work Brought by the Theatre of Fayuan Temple in Beijing Directed by Tian Qinxin
Authors: Zhuang Yinan
Published: January 2025

The adaptation of a dramatic work is both an innovative and demanding endeavor. By building upon the original text, a skillful reimagining can imbue the characters with more dynamic portrayals and distinctive linguistic styles. Meticulous management of the narrative structure and rhythm can create a story arc that is both tumultuous and captivating, ensuring that the audience's emotional engagement remains consistently heightened. And multiple use of stage art, such as wonderful sets, lighting and sound effects, etc., adds rich layers and strong artistic infectivity to the whole theatre, thus bringing significant additive effects and allowing the theatre to show a more splendid charm. Some people see the silent tablets in the temple, while others can hear the deafening echoes of history and see blood splattered in the market place. The text is adapted to the stage, so that the other world can slowly reappear. This paper will examine the original rendition of Fayuan Temple in Beijing by Mr. Li Ao alongside the theatrical adaptation directed by Tian Qinxin. The analysis will concentrate on three key aspects: the transformation of the text, the management of the plot and pacing, and the diverse stage artistry. The aim is to evaluate the cumulative impact of dramatic adaptation in relation to the source material

An Analysis of the Economic Performance of Chinese Enterprises in the New Energy Sector under Policy Changes and Market Slump
Authors: Teng Gaoyuan
Published: January 2025

The new energy sector in China has experienced rapid growth due to major policy support proposed in the recent plans. However, recent policy changes, including reductions in subsidies, have brought new challenges and competition, making it necessary to analyze how these factors have affected the economic performance and strategic adjustments of new energy companies. Therefore, this paper examines the economic dynamics of Chinese new energy enterprises under the influence of national policies, with a focus on the impact of the 14th Five-Year Plan. The DuPont analysis of the financial data of 12 new energy companies from 2019 to 2023 reveals that since the 12th Five-Year Plan, government financial support and technological advancements have significantly increased corporate revenues. However, the implementation of the 14th Five-Year Plan and the elimination of subsidy policies have resulted in a leveling off of revenue growth and an intensification of market competition. In addition, an assessment of these enterprises profitability indicates that policy adjustments may have varying degrees of impact. It is found that investment in R&D partially mitigates the adverse effects of market saturation on revenues, while corporate strategy and market adaptability play a pivotal role in economic performance. In short, the paper can provide policymakers and corporate managers with some insights into the economic dynamics of the new energy sector and offers suggestions for policy adjustments.

The Impact of Corporate Social Responsibility on Financial Performance of a Company
Authors: Han Mingxu
Published: January 2025

In the past years, a good deal of theoretical research related to CSR and its influence in the real business arena has been conducted. The impact of CSR on corporate performance is one of the aspects that has received great interest from both scholars and managers. On the other hand, empirical analysis concerned with the moderating effect stemming from long-term business performance and social capital basically needs to be improved in most previous studies. In this paper, based on data of listed companies in China, the methodology of regression analysis was adopted to test the relationships among CSR, financial performance, and brand value, and to further explore how different types of social capital moderate these effects. Indeed, the results show there is a positive significant relevance between CSR and financial performance and brand value. Moreover, both horizontal and vertical social capital positively moderate the impact of CSR on these outcomes. Results also showed differences between companies that were required to disclose CSR information and those that did so on a voluntary basis, and between heavily polluting and non-polluting industries. The paper improves the current theoretical system in this field and provides business managers with some practical reference when considering adoption of CSR. This helps to improve knowledge of corporate sustainable development from the perspective of social responsibility.

Research on the Operational Efficiency Evaluation of Listed Logistics Enterprises in China Based on the DEA-Malmquist Index
Authors: Luo Yating
Published: January 2025

With the continuous development of the economy, the logistics industry has become increasingly important in the national economy. Logistics efficiency is the key to the operational development of logistics enterprises, and the operational efficiency level of listed logistics enterprises better reflects the overall efficiency of the logistics industry. Therefore, this paper evaluates the operational efficiency of listed logistics enterprises from the perspective of input and output. The BCC model and Malmquist index model, both from the data envelopment analysis (DEA) method, are applied. Data from 62 listed logistics enterprises in the transportation, warehousing, and postal sectors, categorized in the 2012 edition by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, covering the years 2019 to 2023, are selected for analysis. Operational cost, number of employees, total assets, and management expenses are used as input indicators, while net profit and operating revenue are used as output indicators. A comprehensive analysis from both static and dynamic perspectives leads to the conclusion that, over the past five years, the technical efficiency level of listed logistics enterprises is not high, scale efficiency has not reached the optimal level, and there is insufficient technological innovation capacity. Finally, based on the above analysis, specific suggestions are made regarding resource allocation, production scale, and technological innovation for enterprises.
Analysis of the Role of Consumer Psychology and Behavior in MUJI' s Business Strategy
Authors: Shi Xiaotong , Xie Xinyan
Published: January 2025

This study analyzes the role of Muji's business strategy in shaping consumer psychology and behavior, and focuses on the interaction between consumer attitudes, persuasion principles, brand personality, and consumer identification. The article explores the various factors that influence purchasing decisions, such as packaging, pricing, and marketing methods, and emphasizes that Muji's target demographic consists mainly of modern young consumers who appreciate high quality and minimalist aesthetics. By applying Cialdini's six principles of persuasion, it shows that Muji strategically influences consumer behavior, despite the challenges it faces related to perceived scarcity and high pricing. The core concept of the brand is relaxation, nature, simplicity and functionality, which reflects sincerity and resonates with consumers, especially those with high affinity and low neuroticism. However, the conflict between Muji's original anti-consumerism ideology and its current popular brand status has led to consumer dissatisfaction. Suggestions to improve the competitiveness of the Muji market include adopting personalized marketing strategies, addressing price sensitivity through tiered pricing, and prioritizing sustainability to adapt to changing consumer values. By implementing these strategies, Muji can strengthen its connection with customers and ensure long-term success in a highly competitive environment.

The Impact of Financial Innovations on the Amplification of Financial Crises
Authors: Chen Ziyan
Published: January 2025

A financial crisis arises when the value of financial assets or markets rapidly declines, often leading to panic, liquidity shortages, and the collapse of the banking systems. In modern financial systems, financial innovations such as mortgage-backed securities (MBS), credit default swaps (CDS), and high-frequency trading have emerged as key drivers of both market efficiency and systemic instability. These innovations can amplify financial crises by increasing leverage, introducing complexity, and precipitating abrupt market shocks. This paper examines how specific financial innovations, particularly derivatives like MBS and CDS, contributed to the amplification of the 2007-2008 financial crisis. The study uses a case study approach to analyze the crisis and evaluate both the advantages and disadvantages associated with these financial innovations. The conclusion underscores the necessity for stronger regulation and oversight of financial innovations since unchecked complexity, excessive leverage, and inadequate risk management can precipitate to systemic collapse. Transparent markets, robust risk management practices, and prudent regulation are indispensable in averting and preventing future crises. This research highlights the critical role that financial innovations play in both driving and mitigating financial crises. By analyzing the 2007-2008 American Financial Crisis, the paper provides insights into how these innovations, while offering potential benefits, can also introduce significant risks when improperly regulated. The findings emphasize the necessity of balanced oversight to ensure innovation does not compromise systemic stability.

However, the study also found that the effects that green finance brought cannot always meet peoples expectations and they are uneven due to differences in policy implementation and economic foundation in different regions. This study also highlights that the value of green finance as an important tool for sustainable development and suggests the need for further research on empirical evidence of green finance helping with industrial upgrading. Also, it is interpreted that the coordination of more efficient policy and resource integration is of vital importance in achieving balanced growth in the global economy.
An Examination of the Effects of Monetary Policy on the Housing Market and Variations in Asset Prices
Authors: Fu Qiansheng
Published: January 2025

With the deepening development of economic globalization, the world has experienced a series of sharp fluctuations in macro-economy. These fluctuations are manifested in the abnormal fluctuations of asset prices and the long-term downturn of stocks, real estate and other industries. Historically, events such as the bursting of Japan's economic bubble in the early 1990s, which led to the collapse of its long-term credit system and the "Heisei Great Depression," and the subprime mortgage crisis that triggered the global financial panic in 2008, have had a profound impact on global financial markets. In this context, how to effectively prevent and cope with the challenges brought by monetary policy macro-control has become the primary task of current research. By studying the sensitivity of monetary policy and asset price, it can effectively predict the crisis and make timely adjustment of related policies. Based on the perspective of financial economics, this paper adopts a two-way analysis combining theoretical analysis and empirical analysis. Specifically, this paper makes an in-depth discussion and analysis by analyzing the annual financial report in which real estate accounts for a relatively large share of local government GDP, combined with the changes in monetary policy.

American Politics in the Age of Social Media: Influence, Challenges, and Economic Effects
Authors: Wang Beili
Published: January 2025

The swift advancement of social media technologies has profoundly reshaped the political and economic landscape of the United States, with platforms such as Twitter and Facebook exerting substantial influence. Social media have not only transformed traditional modes of political communication, but have also restructured the structure of the economy through the monetization of advertising revenue and the commercialization of user data. However, this transformation has also introduced new challenges, such as the proliferation of disinformation and political polarization, both of which undermine the quality of political decision-making and negatively impact the stability of the economy. In this context, this paper examines the transformative role of social media in reshaping the dynamics of U.S. politics and economics, focusing on the shift from traditional one-way communication to multidirectional interaction. Through historical analysis and case studies, this study examines how social media affects political decision-making, election outcomes, and the structure of the economy. The results indicate that social media have democratized the dissemination of information, but they have also intensified challenges such as political polarization and the spread of disinformation, which undermine governance and economic stability. Furthermore, social media platforms have emerged as powerful economic entities, reshaping traditional business models via data commercialization and targeted advertising.

Enterprise Digital Transformation, Industry Concentration and Carbon Performance
Authors: Gao Shihan
Published: January 2025

With the intensification of the global climate crisis, the issue of corporate carbon emissions has become increasingly prominent. Utilizing data from A-share listed industrial companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen spanning from 2014 to 2022, this research examines the influence of corporate digital transformation on carbon emissions performance and investigates how industry concentration acts as a moderating factor in this relationship. The results indicate that digital transformation in enterprises has a notable impact on carbon performance, demonstrating a positive link between the two. However, industry concentration negatively moderates this positive effect, i.e., in an environment with high industry concentration, the positive effect of digital transformation on carbon performance is diminished. In addition, heterogeneity analyses reveal that the nature of firms' property rights does not exert a substantial influence on the connection between digital transformation and carbon performance. The robustness test further confirms the reliability of the findings. This study provides policy makers and business managers with theoretical basis and practical guidance on how to effectively promote green transformation of enterprises.
Comparison among Main Factors for Biodiesel via transesterification of vegetable oil
Authors: Yang Sunyuan
Published: January 2025

This study reviews transesterification reaction, an advanced technology for the synthesis of biodiesel, and compares heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts to highlight their unique properties. Homogeneous catalysts provide a higher yield with a faster reaction rate and operate under mild conditions. However, they can dissolve in the final product, making separation difficult. Heterogeneous catalysts, on the other hand, can utilize raw feedstock from daily waste, making them more environmentally friendly, easier to recycle, and more active. While homogeneous catalysts are better suited for biodiesel made from feedstock with low free fatty acid content and water, heterogeneous catalysts can have their adjusted by controlling the calcination temperature. This article also discusses other factors related to metal oxide catalysts, and identifies the optimal conditions for transesterification as a temperature of 65 degrees, an alcohol-to-oil ratio of 1:8, a catalysts concertration above 1 mg/L, and a reaction time of around 90 minutes. If metal oxide catalysts are used, the ideal calcination temperature ranges from 700 to 900 degrees. However, for other catalysts, their operating conditions might vary, but the overall relationships among the factors remain consistent.
