Can Leverage Level Explain Value Premium
Authors: Wu Hongjie
Published: March 2023

According to the traditional MM theory, in the case of taxation, the level of leverage of a company will affect its market value. This article conducts an empirical study on the reasons for the existence of the value premium in China's A-share market. It is believed that different levels of leverage of enterprises will have an impact on the value of enterprises in China's A-share market, thereby affecting their profitability. After constructing a Fama three factor capital asset pricing model and confirming that there is indeed a value premium in the Chinese stock market, this paper incorporates the financial leverage, operational leverage, and comprehensive leverage of enterprises in the A-share market into the Fama three factor capital asset pricing model, and uses the OLS regression method for enterprises in the Chinese A-share market. The empirical results show that the value premium reflects the compensation for taking more risks and is related to financial leverage, operational leverage, and comprehensive leverage.

Published: March 2023

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life-threatening disease with a high death toll. Recent research has shown that patients with COVID-19 are more likely to experience PE because of the inflammatory reaction and hypercoagulability. This article's goal is to assess the prevalence of PE among hospitalized COVID-19 patients. We examined the medical files of 210 individuals hospitalized in the COVID-19 unit at Bahria Town International Hospital Lahore between September 1, 2020, and September 30, 2021. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to identify COVID-19 in the patients and computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) was performed to ascertain PE. Of the 210 patients, 9 experienced PE, constituting a 4.3% incidence rate in our study. Our research demonstrates that PE frequently occurs in COVID-19 hospitalized patients. Based on the results, it can be concluded that preventive measures should be considered for people with COVID-19 disease, especially those with a smoking history and low oxygen levels. The fatality rates linked to this illness can be decreased by early diagnosis and timely treatment.

Authors: Xu Biao
Published: March 2023

Single-atom materials show great potential in the field of thermoelectrics due to their distinguishing features such as maximum atom utilization efficiency, unique electronic structure, guest−host interactions, and a tunable coordination environment. Herein, the concept of single-atom thermoelectric materials is presented. Thereafter, we introduce characterization techniques including high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) and X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (XAFS) for identifying the specific coordination environment of single atoms. Furthermore, a typical work demonstrating the effect of single atoms on the thermoelectric transport properties of Bi2S3 is provided. Finally, we propose possible future development paths for single-atom thermoelectric materials. This paper provides a reference for further studies of single-atom thermoelectric materials.

Published: March 2023

In this study, the changes in the performance parameters of silicon photovoltaic cells were investigated before and after irradiation. For this aim, the current-voltage and power-voltage characteristics of structures were obtained before and after irradiation. The electrical parameters were determined using obtained characteristics. High energetic (24.5 MeV) proton beam was used as the radiation source. In addition, radiation-induced displacement damages were determined using SRIM/TRIM simulations, and the effect of these damages on the photovoltaic cell was investigated. This study, which depends on the radiation hardness as a result of irradiation with protons, was important. Because the displacement damage caused changes on the electrical properties of device. This behavior was attributed to the defects generated by proton irradiation. On the other hand, it was seen that proton irradiation can be a tool for controlling the material and cell properties.

Educational institutions are a unique system, much more complex than other areas of economic and social life (security, transportation, communications), as it is closely linked to all industries, as well as spiritual and material aspects of both the past and the present. Each country has its mechanism for organizing its educational system. The most powerful initiators of changes in the education system are not its problems or needs but external factors, primarily priorities and requirements for education and upbringing that arise in connection with the country’s inclusion in the common movement of the world community, changes in production, culture, social and security spheres, etc. Therefore, all trends in higher education take into account, on the one hand, the priorities of preserving the cultural diversity of national educational systems and, on the other hand, the tasks of improving international cooperation, student mobility, and employment in the international community. In the course of the research, systemic-structural, comparative, logical, and linguistic methods, analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, abstraction, and idealization in the processing of scientific information were applied to study and process materials on parallel learning between HEIs around the world. During the research, the most important trends in the study of issues related to parallel learning in higher educational institutions around the world have been outlined. Moreover, based on the questionnaire survey results, the standpoint of university heads and teachers, as well as scholars studying the mechanisms of higher education in different countries of the world, on certain practical aspects have been revealed.

Published: March 2023

In contemporary European literature, the problem of shaping future educators against the backdrop of crisis (military) transformations has not been explored. Ukrainian teachers demonstrate valuable experience in the teaching under warfare conditions, which should be the subject of a separate study. In addition, the problem of the professional formation of future teachers is also relevant, given the numerous terminological debates between scientists. The article aims to analyze the formation of professional competence of future elementary school teachers against the background of large-scale military aggression. The work is formed on the use of theoretical pedagogical research methods. Noticeable attention is paid to the methods of generalization, abstraction, analysis, synthesis. Among the empirical methods, the methods of experiment and SWOT-analysis were used. With the help of the latter, the strengths and weaknesses of the formation of professional competence in the system of distance learning of future elementary school teachers against the background of military aggression are reflected. The results considered terminological discussions regarding the concept of “professional competence”, highlighted the main features of professionalism of modern teachers, analyzed the use of game techniques and their impact on the formation of important skills for future teachers, developed a training model to ensure maximum exposure to professional competence in future teachers. In the conclusion, it was noted that the appeal to game techniques allows to deepen the assimilation of professional competence, moreover, conducting games during the war has an additional psychological effect. The best training model for future teachers is to conduct distance learning sessions according to the established program, which provides an increase in the amount of practice and actualization of the experience of independent work.

The Populist Significance of Thomas' “Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night”, and Henley’s “Invictus” in Tarrant's Manifesto "The Great Replacement”
Authors: Fatubun Reimundus Raymond
Published: March 2023

On March 15, 2019, Tarrant committed a crime driven by a specific ideology. He intentionally used Thomas' villanelle “Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night” to introduce his manifesto and Henley’s “Invictus” to conclude it, both for a reason. Tarrant's concepts of ethnonationalism and ethno-patriotism are suggested by his use of the villanelle, which relates to his idea of the fatherland. During his visit to Europe, Tarrant was alarmed by the number of immigrants he encountered, which fueled his hatred and ultimately led him to carry out his crime. His determination to act is expressed in his choice to include Henley’s “Invictus” in his manifesto. This article aims to identify the metaphands of the metaphiers and their metaphereins in the poems and provide explanations necessary for a better understanding of the metaphands in the context of Tarrant's manifesto, including the significance of father symbolism, the slow destruction of "the father" through birth rate, the importance of four types of men, and Tarrant’s projection of hatred in “Invictus” in response to multicultural challenges.

The Role of Nurses in Promoting Public Health and Disease Prevention
Authors: Badil .
Published: March 2023

Nurses play a vital role in promoting public health and preventing the spread of disease. As healthcare professionals who are often the first point of contact with patients, nurses are in a unique position to educate, screen, and refer individuals for further care and treatment. They are also instrumental in promoting healthy behaviors and lifestyles that can reduce the risk of chronic diseases and illnesses.

One of the key ways in which nurses can promote public health is by educating patients about healthy lifestyles and disease prevention. For example, they can provide information about healthy eating habits, physical activity, and stress management, which can reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Nurses can also provide screening and preventive services, such as blood pressure checks, vaccinations, and antenatal care which can help to identify health problems early and reduce the risk of serious illnesses considerably.

In addition to working with individual patients, nurses can also render a crucial role in community health promotion and disease prevention including they can work with community organizations to organize health fairs, workshops, and other events that promote healthy behaviors and lifestyles. They can also participate in public health campaigns, such as those aimed at reducing the spread of infectious diseases, such as influenza and COVID-19 [1].

Another important aspect of public health promotion is disaster preparedness and response. Nurses are often on the front lines of responding to natural disasters and other emergencies, and they play a crucial role in ensuring that the public remains healthy and safe during these events. They can help to coordinate medical care and provide essential supplies, such as food, water, and shelter, to those in need. Additionally, they can work with public health agencies to develop and implement plans for responding to public health emergencies.

Furthermore, in promoting public health, nurses can also play an important role in reducing healthcare costs. By providing preventive care and promoting healthy behaviors, they can help to reduce the need for more expensive medical treatments and hospitalizations. For example, by educating patients about healthy lifestyle choices and providing preventive screening services, they can help to detect and treat health problems early, before they become more serious and require more costly interventions.

In conclusion, the role of nurses in promoting public health and disease prevention is essential to maintaining the health and well-being of individuals and communities. By educating patients, providing preventive care, and participating in public health initiatives, nurses are helping to create healthier communities and reduce the burden of chronic diseases and illnesses. It is critical that we support and invest in the nursing profession to ensure that they have the resources and training they need to continue to make a positive impact on public health.
Evidence from clinical studies of the nutrological modulation of the gut microbiota in inflammatory bowel diseases: a systematic review
Authors: Nunes Pedro Paulo Barbosa
Published: March 2023

Introduction: The main risk factor for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a positive family history in 10-25% of patients. Crohn's disease (CD) can affect individuals from 15 to 40 years old and from 50 to 80 years old, more frequently in women. Ulcerative colitis (UC) can start at any age. The pathogenesis of IBD is linked to genetically susceptible individuals, dysregulated gut microbiota (dysbiosis), chronic inflammation, and poor dietary patterns. Diet plays an important role in modulating the gut microbiota and can be applied as a therapeutic tool to improve the course of the disease. Objective: To carry out a systematic review of the main interactions between dietary therapy, gut microbiota, and inflammatory bowel disease, to elucidate the main clinical outcomes after nutrological treatment. Methods: The present study followed the international model of systematic review (PRISMA). Clinical studies were included, involving randomized controlled, prospective, and retrospective studies published from 2010 to 2022. Results: It was founded 87 studies on diet modulation in the control of IBD. These studies showed reductions in persistent intestinal symptoms, improvement of gut microbiota, reduction of inflammation markers, and improvement in quality of life, with p<0.05 (95% CI). The studies were homogeneous (X2 = 98.9%), which increases the reliability of the clinical results on the dietary importance in the modulation of IBD. Conclusion: The important role of diet modulation in the control and even in the remission of IBD was evidenced.

Authors: Blix Germundsson Lisa
Published: March 2023

The background of this thesis is new directions in international and national politics, the challenges of contemporary innovation systems, and the challenges and potentials in Swedish horticulture. The aim is to investigate how the knowledge and innovation system in Swedish horticulture can be reinforced to meet current and future challenges. The research questions focus on how network facilitation, social learning, and impact orientation can contribute to a reinforced knowledge and innovation system. The frame of reference takes in theories of systems of innovation, and, in particular, agricultural knowledge and innovation systems (AKIS). The thesis is also complemented with theories of social processes related to learning and impact. The methods include qualitative case studies in a progression from traditional qualitative research methods towards an action research approach. The results identified processes of network brokering, dialogue, co-agency and inclusion as central to reinforcing the knowledge and innovation system of Swedish horticulture. The findings point to a need to balance a structural interpretation of the horticultural knowledge and innovation system with a process perspective, to actively invite the agency of engaged and entrepreneurial individuals, and to balance the historical ‘supply side innovation’ perspective with a prioritization on the creation of societal impact. These results provide a contribution to the debate around different systems perspectives of the AKIS. They also highlight how changes in everyday work at the micro-level are a precondition for system level change, and how actions at the micro-level have the potential of improving the ability to meet current and future challenges and contribute to societal impact and change.

This paper aims to how normalized Covid-19 affect the United States stock market by analyzing three major US stock markets: S&P500, NASDAQ, and DJIA. The aim was to examine the effect on stock market’s return and volatility. To analyze the impact of the pandemic, vector autoregression models (VAR) as well as the ARMA-GARCH-X model were used. Impulse response function graph from the VAR model revealed that the pandemic did increase or decrease the stock market returns of either of the indices. However, fluctuations in returns were shown to be higher during the early period but faded with time. The ARMA-GARCH-X model however reported that the pandemic only influenced the volatility of S&P500 returns only while the other two markets were not affected. Conclusion drawn from the study is that the pandemic influenced the stock markets in the early days but its influence tapered down due to normalization of the pandemic in the mind of investors. Government responses to the pandemic as well as the introduction of vaccines could also serve to raise investor’s confidence thus reducing the influence of the pandemic on the stock market.

Authors: Pan Junxu
Published: March 2023

After the financial crisis, quantitative easing policy played an important role as the main body of the Federal Reserve's unconventional monetary policy. From the market environment at that time, the emergence of quantitative easing policy will play a positive role through the interest rate commitment effect. In times of crisis, it is feasible for the Fed to use some extent, and can be used as a reference to save the crisis in the future. The central bank should play an effective and active role in maintaining financial stability. In times of crisis, central banks should focus on providing liquidity, and even act as an important intermediary to the financial system, just as the Fed has done in this crisis. The crisis shows that, in the case of market failure, the central bank can effectively prevent the bank failure, and clean up the panic and spread caused by the collective irrational behavior. In the systemic financial crisis period, the central bank will actively innovate the rescue plan from the Fed's crisis rescue, open discount Windows to non-bank financial institutions, expand the scope of acceptable collateral, and access the financial markets to buy and sell private sector securities to maintain the financial system. Through a series of measures and corresponding results of the Federal Reserve to deal with the crisis, this paper provides a reference for the international countries facing similar problems and forms a complete evaluation system to establish the appropriate crisis management model for the international financial framework.

Authors: Yu Sitian
Published: March 2023

This study reviews and synthesises the research literature on the extent to which IFRS contributes to the international harmonisation of financial reporting. The main reason why international harmonisation is increasingly valued by the public is due to the global trading, a phenomenon that has led to a demand for high quality financial statements from investors. Therefore, it has been found that the main help and effect of ifrs on financial statements is to improve the comparability and quality of data, as well as to reduce costs and complexity, allowing investors to make better decisions. However, the variability that arises in practice can in some ways undermine comparability. However, the results of the current analysis show that ifrs has contributed significantly to the international harmonisation of financial statements.

With the volatile price of Bitcoin having received widespread media and investor attention in recent years, this paper surveys the existing literature on Bitcoin which focuses on the differences between Bitcoin and traditional currencies and the impact on the real economy. In doing so, various literature and scholarly insights are discussed to formally clarify the economic implications of Bitcoin in the absence of a centralised entity. A SWOT approach is then used to analyse its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and risks, before parsing Bitcoin's price trends and making predictions for the future based on specific events and news. Society remains sceptical and uninformed about this cryptocurrency. The evidence suggests that bitcoin returns are significantly slightly inefficient at this stage, but there is also a great deal of uncertainty about the future and it could be on the move.
Core Factors That Make Afterpay’s Success
Authors: Zhang Yizhen
Published: March 2023

The outbreak of Covid-19 has contributed significantly to the growth of e-commerce and the boom in the Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) market. This was accompanied by increased purchasing power and financial flexibility for consumers through "zero interest" installment plans. In 2022, Afterpay, as a leading BNPL company, was acquired by Square, another large digital payment company, at A$39 billion. This is the most high-profile M&A deal in the global fintech sector to date. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis to explain how Afterpay has achieved success since there are only six years after its launch in Australia. From the business model perspective, Afterpay's business model of not making money from its customers combined with the first-mover advantage of its rapid expansion is one of the keys to Afterpay's success. Meanwhile, after analyzing the company’s capabilities, the result indicates that Afterpay is backed by its strong technological capabilities, which effectively reduces its credit risk and allows it to keep up with its rapid international expansion. That analysis can provide references for fintech companies’ business models or technical support systems.
An Empirical Study on the Effectiveness of China's Growth Enterprise Market: A Test Based on Momentum Reversal Effect
Authors: Zhou Tianyi
Published: March 2023

In capital market anomalies, momentum effect and contrarian effect are typical phenomena in stock market, bond market, commodity market and foreign exchange market. The existence of momentum reversal effect also shows that there is a certain space for perfect integration between the traditional efficient market hypothesis theory, behavioral finance and capital market anomalies. This paper selects 50 stocks in China's GEM stock market from 2019 to 2021 to analyze the momentum effect and reversal effect in the GEM market. The empirical results show that the GEM market reversal effect is more significant in the total sample during this period, but no significant momentum effect has been observed. In addition, during the overall downward trend of the selected stocks, the reversal effect is more obvious, and there is a scale effect. China's GEM stock market is not yet a fully effective market. According to the empirical results, the relevant thinking and suggestions are put forward to promote the stable and healthy development of China's GEM stock market.

Authors: Qin Jiacheng , Liang Te
Published: March 2023

This article mainly uses data from October 2009 to September 2022 of the gem board as research samples. Through empirical analysis to explore the implementation of the registration system’s influence on IPO first-day break probability, at the same time, will appear on the market after the former market sentiment, listing market sentiment, and other indicators on introducing the model studies the influence factors of IPO first-day break and effect mechanism. The results show that the implementation of the registration system can significantly improve the probability of IPO breaking on the first day of listing. The winning rate is significantly positively correlated with the probability of IPO breaking on the first day of listing. The turnover rate on the first day of listing is significantly negatively correlated with the probability of IPO breaking on the first day of listing. The turnover rate on the first day of listing has a mediating effect on the impact of the winning rate and the registration system on the IPO break.

Published: March 2023

In general, forecasting on stock prices is a famous and interesting area that gathers many researchers in. Contemporarily, after the birth of AI, the number of the algorithms used in the prediction of equity market fluctuation are boomed rapidly. Applying the combination of statistics and algorithms can help researchers as well as investors learn about either short-term regulation (such as opening price) or the long-term market movement. This paper discusses three kinds of models which are used to predict the stock price for long or short term. Specifically, some empirical results are presented to prove the feasibility and significance of the models. By analyzing techniques used to predict stock prices and the limitation of these models, the discussion about the challenges and the outlook posed from the scope of future work in this filed are also shown and demonstrated. These results shed light on guiding further exploration of price forecasting for different kinds of underlying assets as well as portfolios.
Research on the investment efficiency of each factor in A-share market——Take CAPM, FF three factor and FF five factor models as examples
Authors: Sun Haoyu
Published: March 2023

This paper mainly studies the effectiveness of factor investment represented by CAPM, FF three factor model and FF five factor model in A-share market. Since the birth of factor investment in the middle of the last century, it is fashionable and short. When focusing on China, the superiority of each model is controversial. In this paper, we took the stock reform limit board as the boundary, we selected the data from 1997 to 2020 to study the significance of CAPM, FF three factor, FF three factor and profit factor (RMW) or investment factor (CMA), FF five factor models. Through the redundancy factor test, it is concluded that each factor plays an important role, and the role of investment factor (CMA) is relatively small. In addition, in the case of univariate grouping and bivariate grouping, different factor models are used to adjust the excess return. It is found that CAPM, FF three factor model and FF five factor model are applicable to China's A-share market. FF three factor model and FF five factor model are continuous supplements to CAPM model, making it more comprehensive and effective. And the market factor is the most significant, representative and dominant. Compared with the FF three factor model, the addition of the profit factor (RMW) and the investment factor (CMA) in the FF five factor model will weaken the significance of the market value factor (SMB) in the original FF three factor model.
