Research on the impact of equity pledge loans on financial distress and forecasting ability--Based on the "Factor-Logit" model
Authors: Zhou Yiran
Published: January 2025

China has taken many steps in recent years to improve capital market oversight to guarantee the market's steady and sound growth. One of the most important strategies is to apply ST and *ST warnings to listed corporations that are operating in an unhealthy manner. At the same time, stock pledges are typically preferred by listed company shareholders as a convenient and effective financing option. This study selects financial and corporate governance variables, builds "factor-logit" analysis models to compare the prediction ability, and focuses on pertinent data of equity pledges involving the controlling shareholders of A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2003 to 2023. The findings indicate a negative relationship between the controlling shareholder's equity pledge actions and the likelihood of financial difficulties during the next three years. At the same time, the addition of equity pledge data has in fact increased the prediction's accuracy of financial hardship. This finding can give external lenders more precise investment information and has practical consequences for reducing financial crises.

Authors: Zheng Shengsheng
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this paper is to explore how GPT (Generative Pretraining Transformer) technology can play a role in teaching English vocabulary to Chinese secondary school students. First, with the differences in students' vocabulary mastery levels, it is often difficult for traditional teaching methods to provide personalized learning support for each student, while GPT can provide customized, interactive and scalable vocabulary learning solutions. Second, this paper provides an in-depth analysis of the specific applications of GPT in vocabulary teaching, including how students can interact with GPT to understand the meaning of words, practice in sentences, and participate in simulated conversations. In addition, GPT is able to provide follow-up learning suggestions based on students' progress, helping students to make continuous progress in the process of vocabulary learning. Finally, the paper highlights the potential impact of GPT on vocabulary instruction, particularly in terms of improving students' long-term memory of vocabulary learning and enhancing flexibility and accessibility of learning. By combining with traditional teaching methods, GPT provides teachers with a richer set of pedagogical tools to promote a more personalized and interactive education and to meet the diverse needs of secondary school students in vocabulary acquisition. Overall, GPT technology can effectively improve Chinese secondary school students' English vocabulary acquisition and memorization and promote the transformation of vocabulary teaching mode.

Nel testo arabo di un mandato bilingue greco-arabo del 1109 la contessa Adelasia, reggente di Calabria e Sicilia per il figlio minorenne Ruggero II, è chiamata al-sayyidatu l-jalīlatu malikatu Şiqillīyata wa-Qalāwriyata l-nāşiratu li-dīni l-naşrānīyati (“la grande signora, la reggente di Sicilia e Calabria, protettrice della fede dei Cristiani”). Questo titolo, che in forma maschile si trova anche sui tarì della zecca di Salerno di Ruggero II, Guglielmo II e Tancredi, e nella traduzione greca di βοηθὸς τῶν Χριστιανῶν è un elemento caratterizzante nell’intitulatio di Ruggero II. L’articolo presenta l’ipotesi che questo titolo sia stato introdotto dall’ameras Cristodulo, il principale coordinatore politico e amministrativo della contessa e del giovane Ruggero II, originario della Sicilia occidentale, come testimonianza dell’avvenuta cristianizzazione dell’Isola.
PEDAGOGICAL CONDITIONS FOR THE FORMATION OF ARTISTIC SENSITIVITY IN ART
Authors: Avetisyan G.
Published: January 2025

The pedagogical conditions for the formation of creative receptivity of students of secondary specialized educational institutions in Armenia are closely related to the socio-cultural processes in our country. The pedagogical conditions play a key role in the academic environment for the formation of artistic susceptibility of students, around which the scientific novelty of the research is formed. These are the cornerstones on which students can develop their ability to appreciate and understand art.

It includes an introduction to various types of art, including painting, sculpture, music, architecture, etc. Through these art forms, students begin to understand a variety of artistic expressions and techniques. Integrating art with other subjects helps students see the connection between art and a wide range of human knowledge and experience, and music education can deepen their understanding of literature.

Practical experience includes participation in creative projects and performing arts assignments. This allows students not only to observe, but also to participate in the creative process, developing their skills and talents. Developing critical thinking through the analysis and evaluation of art is crucial for forming informed judgments and personal taste. Students acquire question and answer skills, can explore the context and critically comprehend what they see and hear.

Finally, supporting emotional development through art is important for developing empathy and emotional intelligence. Art can evoke strong emotions and provide opportunities for self-expression and self-discovery. Together, these conditions provide a holistic approach to art education that promotes the comprehensive development of students’ artistic sensitivity.

Published: January 2025

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a tripartite pedagogy framework integrating specialized tracks, optional minors, and experiential learning to enhance sustainability education in built environment curricula. Employing a mixed-methods quasi-experimental design, the research assessed 239 industrial training students in Enugu, Nigeria. Results from the t-test demonstrate significant improvements in sustainability knowledge post-intervention and high interest in optional sustainability courses. Repeated measures of ANOVA revealed substantial enhancements in students' ability to apply sustainability concepts over time. Qualitative data highlighted practical challenges in experiential learning, including resource constraints. The findings provide empirical support for the tripartite approach, extending previous research by quantifying impacts on practical skills development. This study contributes to the limited body of evidence on integrated sustainability education interventions in the Global South, demonstrating significant improvements in students' sustainability knowledge and application skills through a tripartite pedagogy framework. The findings highlight the potential of specialized tracks, optional minors, and experiential learning to bridge the gap between academic preparation and industry needs. It is recommended that educational institutions prioritize these integrative approaches and address resource constraints to enhance the effectiveness and scalability of sustainability education in built environment curricula.

Authors:   Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Botswana, Gaborone, Private Bag: UB0061, Botswana, Oyejobi Damilola Oyewumi
Published: January 2025

Concrete and mortar usually found themselves in normal and harsh environments. The environment has great influence on the mechanical and durability behaviours of the concrete. In this study, fly ash was processed using circular economy concept and subsequently used as precursor for geopolymer mortar. The fly ash from Morupule power plant station has previously been characterized for its physical, chemical, and microstructural properties. Based on its suitability, the fresh and mechanical properties of the geopolymer mortar were carried out, and afterward, the durability behaviour is investigated in this study. The geopolymer mortar was formulated from the mixture of fly ash, sand and alkaline activators and cured thermally at 70°C. The behaviour of the geopolymer mortar in sulphuric acid solution, sodium sulphate solution, water absorption and fire resistance properties were simulated, and their loss in compressive strength and weight were determined. The laboratory experiment indicated that geopolymer mortars are highly resistant to sulphate attack, water absorption with moderate resistance against sulfuric acid and fire resistance. The effects of varying other parameters on the performance of concrete can be looked into in the future studies.
Flexural Behaviour of Concrete Beams Reinforced With Major Steel Bars under Normal and Corrosive Operational Conditions
Authors: Adewuyi Adekunle P. , Eric Gaolatlhe B.
Published: January 2025

Quality assurance of construction materials is very fundamental for structural safety, reliability, serviceability, and durability of constructed civil infrastructure. Inflow of defective or substandard building and construction materials into the industry, particularly reinforcing steel bars, is responsible for many structurally deficient constructed facilities which often lead to failure or ultimate collapse of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Characterization of steel rebars from two major manufacturers into Botswana construction industry, designated herein as M1 and M2, were conducted as a basis for the evaluation of the quality assurance and control of the products. The flexural behaviour of their respective RC beams, designated herein as B-M1 and B-M2, of dimension 150 × 200 × 3000 mm and subject to four-point loading tests were determined under normal and artificially induced corrosion conditions to assess the influence of steel rebars M1 and M2 on the stiffness and load-carrying capacity. The average yield strengths of steel reinforcing bars were 427 N/mm2 for M1 and 459 N/mm2 for M2. The moduli of elasticity for M1 and M2 were 203 GPa and 205 GPa, respectively. The percentage elongation was found to be 7.93% for M1 and 7.24% for M2. The flexural strength of beams reinforced with M1 was 7% and 16.5% lower than RC beam with M2 under normal and accelerated corrosion of 5% of NaCl solution for 60 hours condition, respectively. The flexural behaviour of RC beams reinforced with B-M1 had a lower flexural strength under both normal and corrosive environmental conditions as compared to B-M2. The flexural strength of B-M1 had reduced from 48.5 N/mm2 to 41.0 N/mm2, while B-M2 reduced from 52.2 N/mm2 to 49.2 N/mm2. This represented loss of load-carrying capacity of 15.4% and 5.8% for B-M1 and B-M2 respectively due to exposure to corrosive environment. The findings revealed disparity in bending capacity due to the low interfacial bonding due to reduced relative rib areas. A more intensive quality control of imported steel should be ensured at the ports of entry by relevant regulatory agencies.

Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Consumption and Awareness About Risks During Pregnancy In AL-Bayda City, Libya
Authors: Asma Omar  , Hajer Omar  , Anwar Mohamad
Published: January 2025

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are one of the most common prescribed medications for relieving pain, fever, and inflammation. Most NSAIDs are available without a prescription, and they often consumed by pregnant women for short periods of time to treat mild pain. However, these drugs can cause substantial teratogenic effects. NSAIDs such as aspirin, diclofenac sodium and ibuprofen might cause oligohydramnios (low amniotic fluid) or prenatal renal abnormalities if taken in the late second half of pregnancy. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that taking NSAIDs in the period from the fifth month of pregnancy to delivery is not safe. This research was conducted to explore pregnant women's knowledge about NSAIDs during gestation period as well as consumption patterns. This study was conducted during the period from 10/2/2022 to 10/3/2022 in private clinics in Al-Bayda, Al-Quba cities as well as Al -Thawra hospital targeting 250 pregnant women who asked gently to fill in a printed questionnaire. The questionnaire has a variety of questions regarding age, consumption of NSAIDs during pregnancy and awareness about the benefits and risks of these drugs. Our study indicated that 55.6% of the pregnant women were in the range of twenty-two to twenty-nine years old. Half of pregnant women (50%) did consume painkillers (NSAIDs). Aspirin was the most common drug (55%). Forty-five out of 125 were consuming these drugs without prescription (36%). The common reason for consuming NSAIDs was varicose veins (31%). 30.4% of pregnant women had a miscarriage. Poor fetal growth was the most common cause of miscarriage among 29% of participants. Sixty-five percent of the participants knew that using this kind of drugs in the last month of pregnancy affect their health negatively. Only 4% of them had miscarriage due to consumption of NSAIDs. Pain management noticed in 90% of pregnant women. Awareness about the positive and negative effects of NSAIDs was noticed in 55% of the participants. In conclusion, despite the fact which is consumption of NSAIDs throughout pregnancy has undesirable effects on pregnant women and fetus, these drugs are widely prescribed by doctors to pregnant women. NSAIDs should not be prescribed during pregnancy unless mother's outcomes exceed the possible fetal adverse effects. Our research found no significant relation between NSAIDs consumption in the period of pregnancy and miscarriage. Although our results were satisfied, concentrated education programs are needed to spread knowledge in our society and another research must be conducted on a large sample size to investigate the differences among this study with the current research.

Published: January 2025

We study an integration theory on general measure spaces without
imposing the convention infinity times zero equals zero. Our approach depends
upon the premises concerning the countable additivity of the corresponding
measure and the fact that the measure of the empty set is zero. An outstanding
feature of this approach concerns the fact that all the results obtained in this
paper are implied by the Third Littlewood’s principle and a Fundamental
Theorem asserting that if a bounded real-valued function defined on a set of
finite measure is measurable then it is integrable.

Güneydoğu Asya Ülkeleri Birliği (ASEAN) uzun süredir Güneydoğu Asya’da barış ve istikrarın korunmasına odaklanan başarılı bir bölgesel işbirliği modeli olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Ancak bölge, toprak anlaşmazlıkları, siyasi istikrarsızlık ve sınır ötesi suç ve terör tehdidi dâhil olmak üzere barışa yönelik çeşitli zorluklarla karşı karşıya kalmaktadır. Bu çalışma ASEAN bölgesindeki barış ve güvenliğin durumunu incelemektedir. Makale, ASEAN’da barışın korunmasına katkıda bulunan, örgütün ASEAN Yolu olarak isimlendirilen müdahale etmeme ilkesi, çatışma çözümü için bölgesel mekanizmaların geliştirilmesi ve ekonomik entegrasyonun desteklenmesi gibi temel faktörleri analiz etmektedir. Aynı zamanda büyük güçler arasında artan jeopolitik gerilimler, iklim değişikliğinin etkisi ve geleneksel olmayan güvenlik sorunlarının artması da dâhil olmak üzere barışa yönelik ortaya çıkan tehditleri de değerlendirmeye tabi tutmaktadır. Ayrıca çalışma, geleceğe yönelik ASEAN’da barışın muhtemel durumunu tartışarak, sürekli bölgesel işbirliğine, ASEAN’ın kurumsal kapasitesinin güçlendirilmesine ve bölgedeki barış ve güvenliğe yönelik çok yönlü zorluklara çözüm bulmak için kapsamlı stratejilerin geliştirilmesine olan ihtiyacın da altını çizmektedir.

Today buildings serve multiple functions with the help of advanced digital displays. These displays use cutting-edge technology to create engaging visual experiences that captivate viewers. Brands can reach wider audiences thanks to this rapid advancement of creative, innovative, and interactive technologies. 3D dynamic billboards are one of the most remarkable ones.
In this study, six different 3D billboards were selected as cases based on the placement, advertised product type, and technological innovation. They are examined according to their attraction and engagement, technological innovation, cultural impact, economic benefits and public attention. Using new technology and the anamorphic illusion technique, the visual impact of 3D billboards enables brands to leave a long-lasting impression. Unlike traditional 2D billboards, 3D billboards offer depth and movement, and they leave a lasting impression on viewers and can display various contents, from static images to motion videos. Although 3D billboard technology is in its early stages, it has the potential to become widespread in a few years, and it will inevitably be one of the most impactful types of advertising in urban space. Their messages continue to resonate with audiences long after they have seen the billboard. This new dimension in advertisement has changed the traditional advertising approach and transformed urban spaces into engaging media spots.
Doğaya Manzara Resmi Dışından Bakmak: Çevre Sorunları ve Sanat
Authors: Akarsu Handan
Published: January 2025

Her şeye rağmen doğa hala sanata ve bilime ilham kaynağı olmaya devam ediyor. Ancak, ne Rönesans dönemi gibi doğayı keşfetmeye ne de modernizm dönemindeki gibi doğaya yeni anlamlar yüklemeye gerek duyulan bir çağdayız. Sanatçılar seyirlik görüntüsünden zevk almaya devam ederken, bambaşka bir duygu ile, kirlenen, bozulan ve tehlike altındaki görüntüsünün verdiği endişe ile doğayı kendine konu seçmektedir. 1990’lı yılların başından itibaren hemen hemen her coğrafyada ortaya çıkan, başta iklim krizinin yarattığı sorunları olmak üzere, bilinçsizce yapılan üretimin, tüketimin, teknolojinin ve politikaların yarattığı küresel çevre sorunları günümüz sanatçılarının küresel boyutta ele aldıkları konuların başında yer almaktadır.
Günümüz sanatçısı, yaşanan sorunlara ilgisiz kalmamakta, problemlerin çözümüne katkıda bulunan bir birey olarak sorumluluk almaktadır.
Feminizm, kadına uygulanan şiddete ve cinsler arası ayrımcılığa karşı küresel bir ideolojik kale gibi görülmekte ve dünyanın hemen her yerinde kadın haklarını savunan sanatçılar hiç olmadığı kadar yaygın bir pozisyon almış durumdadır. Kadın cinayetleri, hayvan haklarının ihlali, cinsler arası ayrımcılık gibi küresel konular Türkiye’de de çok fazla gündemde olduğundan en fazla ele alınan konuları arasındadır. Çevre kirliliğinin ve yangın, sel, deprem gibi doğal afetlerin yarattığı sorunlar ise istenilen düzeyde gündemde olamadığı için sanatçıların konuları arasında henüz yer bulmuş değildir.

The main aim of this study is to comparatively examine the intention to purchase online in the context of Generation X, Y and Z consumers within the framework of the Consumer Technology Acceptance Model. This study was studied in a quantitative pattern and was conducted for 661 consumers in Mersin province, determined by convenience sampling method. Normality and deviation analyses, validity and reliability analyses, and factor analyzes were conducted with the data obtained. Structural equation modeling was used to test the determined hypotheses, and all analyzes were carried out using SPSS 24.0 and AMOS 23.0 software packages. Individuals in the generations X, Y and Z discussed within the scope of the study may show different characteristics depending on the generations they belong to. The prediction that generations whose habits and perceptions regarding purchasing behavior may differ will differ in terms of adopting technological innovations has been confirmed according to the results obtained from the research. One of the main limitations of this study is that it was collected through convenience sampling. The other is to reach the target generation age groups in the study. The managerial contribution of this research is that internet purchasing tools should not be designed solely based on ease of use and usefulness and emotional dimensions should be evaluated together with the target market and target consumer groups (Generation X, Y and Z) during market research to more accurately assess the level of acceptance of the innovation. According to literature analysis, no study was found examining the relationship between the generations of the consumer technology acceptance model. The aim of this research is to add to the literature by examining the relationship between generations with the consumer technology acceptance model and to provide a more general conceptual basis in consumer behavior.
BATILILAŞMA ODAKLI KÜRESELLEŞME YAKLAŞIMI CİHETİNDEN TURİZM SİSTEMİNİN DESTİNASYONLARIN DEĞERLER SİSTEMİ ÜZERİNDEKİ ROLÜNE YÖNELİK BİR DEĞERLENDİRME
Authors: Özekici Yakup Kemal
Published: January 2025

Küreselleşme yaklaşımındaki perspektif farklılığı çalışmanın çıkış noktasını oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında, küreselleşme yaklaşımları temelinde, batı menşeili küreselleşme fikir akımı esas alınarak, küreselleşmenin batı kültüründen beslendiğini savunan fikir akımının argümanları izah edilmiştir. Turizm sistemi özelinde ise, küreselleşmenin kültür yönü ile destinasyonlar üzerinde oluşturduğu etki sürecini esas alan hipotetik bir model geliştirilmiş ve betimlenmiştir. Buna göre, yeni nesil medya araçları ile etkisi ortaya çıkarılan küreselleşmenin kültür odağı, turizm sistemi kapsamında doğrudan etkileşim aracılığıyla yoğunlaşmaktadır. Bu durum, kitlelerin tatil anlayışını bireyselcilik yönüne sevk etmiştir. Destinasyonlar özelinde ise, yerli halkın kültürel dönüşüm süreci, özendirme ve difüzyon etkileri ile kademeli olarak dönüşüme uğrama meyline girmiştir. Söz konusu dönüşüm süreci, materyalizm ve bireyselleşmenin destinasyonlara yayılmasını beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu da yerel kültürün ticarileşmesi şeklinde tezahür etmektedir.

Sürdürülebilirlik en basit anlamda sınırlı doğal kaynakların gelecek nesilleri düşünerek, bilinçsizce harcanmasının önüne geçilmesi adına alınan bir dizi önleme dair farkındalıktır. Sürdürülebilirlik çevrenin etkin şekilde korunduğu, ekonomik büyümenin sürekliliğinin sağlandığı düzendir. Birleşmiş Milletler 2030 sürdürülebilirlik hedefleri kapsamında karbon salınımının sınırlanmaya çalışıldığı önemli sektörlerden havacılık sektöründe sıkı uygulamalar ve denetimler dikkat çekmektedir. Birçok havalimanı sürdürülebilirlik hedeflerini yakalamak adına sosyal sorumluluk faaliyetleri ile toplumsal etki yaratmaya çalışmakta, teknolojik uygulamalar geliştirmeye çalışarak; enerji verimliliği uygulamaları, katı atık uygulamaları, su ve atık su yönetimi uygulamaları, ulaşılabilirlik ve erişilebilirlik uygulamaları geliştirmektedir. Bu çalışmada, sürdürülebilirliğin sağlanması, enerji verimliliği ve karbon ayak izi azaltmak adına dünyanın önde gelen sürdürülebilir havalimanlarında hayata geçirilen bu uygulamalar tanıtılmakta ve bu uygulamaların yarattığı faydalar yansıtılmaya çalışılmaktadır. Türkiye’de sürdürülebilirliğin yerleştirilmesi adına geliştirilen proje ve mevzuat düzenlemeleri ile havalimanlarının sürdürülebilirlik uygulamaları ele alınmaktadır. Bu uygulamaların bütüncül bir şekilde yansıtılmasıyla sürdürülebilirlik hedeflerini yakalamak isteyen havalimanı yönetimlerinde farkındalık oluşturulması ve uygulama örnekleri ile yol gösterilmesi planlanmaktadır.
Essays on Interconnected Markets
Authors:   , Inhoffen Justus Hans
Published: January 2025

This dissertation empirically studies the economic effects of interdependent decision-making within social and financial networks in three distinct settings. Chapter 1 investigates whether the allocative inefficiency in a price-controlled market is more pronounced when decision makers are influenced by their social environment. For the renewable energy production in Germany, we find that existing solar panels in a municipality increase the probability of further installations, even in areas with minimal solar radiation. We conclude that a market-based mechanism could have led to a more cost-effective deployment of subsidies. Chapter 2 investigates the role of crowding---the degree to which a portfolio correlates with competitors' investments---for performance in the global active mutual fund market. Using a novel fund-level measure, we show that highly crowded portfolios underperform passive funds by 0.11% monthly. This underperformance stems largely from overexposure to liquid equities, potentially as a precaution against contagion risks. Chapter 3 examines dealer banks' intermediation in European repo markets under regulatory-induced asset scarcity. We show that dealers re-use collateral to alleviate scarcity, but this increases systemic risk through the sudden withdraw of collateral. This finding highlights a trade-off between shock absorption and systemic liquidity risks.
