Impacts of the Interest Rate Increases on the US Technology Industry: Time Series Evidence
Authors: Pan Tingyou
Published: June 2024

The interest rate increases by the United States Federal Reserve might have some impacts on the technology industry. This paper intends to find out how the stock prices under the monetary policies compare to the ones without the policies in the time span of a few days, weeks, and months. The prices that would have occurred without the policies are predicted using the ARIMA model. It is found that the technology stock price is approximately a quarter lower than the predicted price in the time span of a few months after the initial interest rate rise. There is a clear decreasing trend in the time span of a few weeks, though there is no significant impact on the stock price in the following few days after the interest rate rise. This paper innovates by comparing the effects of different time spans, which are quite different in terms of the scale of the effects. Using the findings, the suggestions for investors are that one should prepare themselves for a significant drop in the technology industry stock price in the long-term when there are similar policies, but should not panic in the short-term when the market has not reacted efficiently.

Authors: Huang Yuhan , Zhang Xiaoyu , Song Xueya , Cheng Jing , Li Junjie
Published: June 2024

This paper presents an analysis of ethanol coupling to prepare C4 olefins based on the cubic spline interpolation algorithm. Firstly, the cubic spline interpolation was utilized to fit and plot the trends of temperature, catalyst combination, ethanol conversion rate, and C4 olefin selectivity. Additionally, a polynomial fitting model was established to determine the functional relationships of ethanol conversion rate and C4 olefin selectivity with different catalysts and temperatures, thereby identifying their dependencies on temperature. Subsequently, interpolation fitting was conducted for the variables over time. As the reaction is reversible, a dynamic equilibrium was observed after 273 minutes, allowing for predictive function modeling. Discrepancy analysis between predicted values and experimental data revealed prediction errors of 4.19% and 2.11% for A8 and B7 ethanol conversion rates, and 0.03% and 4.48% for A2 and A3 C4 olefin selectivity, respectively. Combining these errors led to the inference of the catalyst in Appendix II as 200mg1wt%Co/SiO2-200mgHAP with an ethanol concentration of 0.9ml/min.

El objetivo de este trabajo fue diseñar y validar un instrumento sobre el uso y consumo de estevia en la zona conurbada Veracruz-Boca del Rio. Se generó una encuesta inicial con 10 preguntas sobre el consumo y el conocimiento general de la población sobre estevia, cuya validación se realizó por 18 expertos que evaluaron la validez y fiabilidad de cada pregunta. Finalmente, se realizó una prueba inicial de desempeño (n=100) de la encuesta. De los encuestados, 88 % conoce de las propiedades atribuidas a estevia, 69 % padece alguna enfermedad relacionada con el consumo de azúcar y la mayoría percibió beneficios con el consumo de la planta. Se probó el desempeño de un instrumento sobre el uso y consumo de estevia que podría aplicarse a otras áreas urbanas.

Atypical skin manifestation of purpura fulminans in Chikungunya infection on elderly patients: A case report
Authors: Dankul Parita , Ratanarat Ranistha
Published: June 2024

Background: Chikungunya is a vector-borne infectious disease that is usually characterized by fever, joint pain, muscle ache, headache, rash, or fatigue. Severe life-threatening complications such as septic shock, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and multiple organ dysfunction can develop during the acute phase of the disease. Purpura fulminans were rarely reported.

Case presentation: A previously healthy 69-year-old male patient with no known medical history presented with a 3-day history of fever, malaise, and arthralgia at both knees. He developed dyspnea, purpura, and hemorrhagic blebs at the right leg for 1 day. He was initially diagnosed with sepsis and oliguric renal failure with severe lactic acidosis. After fluid therapy was given to maintain stable hemodynamics, his lactate level increased rapidly. Continuous renal replacement therapy and hemoperfusion with cytokine adsorbent were then initiated simultaneously. On the second day of admission, the skin and soft tissue lesions progressed rapidly, and the patient experienced refractory shock and multiple organ dysfunction. Finally, he was diagnosed with a Chikungunya infection. Three days following the onset of edema in his extremities, he expired.

Conclusion: Purpuric skin manifestations and shock are rare but serious in Chikungunya infections. Clinicians should be aware of the potential for life-threatening complications. Aggressive management and adjunctive therapy such as hemoperfusion and intravenous immunoglobulins should be further studied.

Published: June 2024

According to experts and stakeholders, speaking English language skills are the most complex to learn and teach. Likewise, these skills are necessary and mandatory in this globalized world. One common strategy to overcome these difficulties is outside classroom activities such as recording videos and then comment them. In this way, the present paper presents the results of a YouTube channel project on Peruvian ESL students’ speaking skills in a higher technological institute. In addition, the perception and views of making and commenting on videos on a YouTube channel were researched bearing in mind three factors: oral skills, psychological aspects, and time availability. Therefore, a mixed-methods approach was applied to achieve these goals, and the data was gathered from 51 accounting students. A pre-experimental design was carried out to establish the YouTube project’s effects on oral skills, for this reason, a pre and post-test were carried out, moreover, a survey with 5-point Likert-type and open-ended questions was completed by the mentioned students and conducted immediately after the project. Among the highlights of the results were the meaningful improvement in these students’ oral skills on one hand, and on the other, positive perceptions about the completed project were noticeable.

As a consequence of the post-pandemic situation, blended learning has been a new challenge for students as they need to adjust to the new learning model. Such a challenge stems from the requirement to improve students’ critical thinking skills since, in blended learning, they need to adapt to self-directed learning. This present study explores whether blended learning correlates with the critical thinking of Indonesian students majoring in English Literature. The students’ critical thinking skills and the portrayal of the learning engagement in the blended learning system were identified through questionnaires involving 259 students. The teachers’ interviews were also conducted to discuss the plausible model for blended learning. The findings implied that junior and senior students have passed the minimum standard of critical thinking skills and can engage in blended learning systems. Specifically, the senior students have lower critical thinking skills and are less engaged in blended learning than their junior counterparts. It also reveals the weak correlation between critical thinking skills and blended learning system. Thus, the integration of critical thinking materials, ideal proportion of learning styles, and assignments with high-order thinking skills are needed to strengthen the students’ critical thinking skills in the blended learning system.
