Authors: Zhu Yuanyuan
Published: June 2023

Inflation in the United States has continued to rise since the second quarter of 2021, and the Fed's aggressive monetary tightening policy has sparked market concerns. This paper attempts to apply the Vector Autoregression (VAR) model to study the interaction mechanisms between GDP, inflation and unemployment rate between the first quarters of 2012 and 2022 in the United States. Try to disentangle the effects of shocks emanating from each source. As a result, the three macroeconomic factors have a specific causal relationship. GDP and unemployment rate can predict inflation one way, while GDP and unemployment can predict each other. The shocks of GDP and inflation are mainly derived from their own changes, while the shocks of unemployment are mainly derived from changes in GDP.
Drivers of Exports Competitiveness in Manufacturing: A Comparison between China and Germany
Authors: Hao Jingsong
Published: June 2023

In recent years, globalization has brought significant development opportunities to various economies worldwide, including influences for export-oriented economies such as China and Germany. This paper examines the export competitiveness of China and Germany in terms of labor market conditions and non-price factors, as well as the impact of China as an emerging economy on German manufacturing export competitiveness. Labor costs, productivity, and market reforms are considered to analyze labor market competitiveness. Non-price competitiveness is examined through explorations of product innovation, quality, and high-tech products. This article found that China's manufacturing export advantage is primarily due to the low labor cost of its workers, and FDI contributes to China's technological and high-tech export advancements. The competitiveness of German exports is attributed to the labor market reforms in Germany and the innovation and high quality of its products. On the other hand, wage inequalities exist in both China's and Germany's manufacturing industries. The study also finds that while emerging economic giant China has gained significant export market share, Germany can remain competitive.
Econometrics and Machine Learning Approach on Correlation in Stock Return between US Firms and Chinese Suppliers
Authors: Xiao Huiyan
Published: June 2023

This study investigates machine learning on influential factors on the correlation of the stock return movements between US firms and their Chinese suppliers, given that the overall correlation has already been proven in the previous study. The present investigation was conducted by performing econometrical analysis and applying a variety of regression models to US firms' stock returns (independent variable) and their Chinese suppliers' stock returns (dependent variable) with various factors involved. From the results, it was evident that industry differences are a factor that caused variations in the degree of stock return correlations. Furthermore, firm size and stock trading volume yielded positive impacts on the significance of the correlation. Subsequently, predicated on said findings, a prediction model was generated using the Random Forest machine learning approach. Using US customer firms' monthly stock return data, as well as the three aforementioned factors, the monthly stock return value of their Chinese supplier firms can be predicted.
Whether the Mismatch between College Students' Employment Positions and Majors in Banking will Affect the Quality of Employment and the Salary Level
Authors: Tian Xintong
Published: June 2023

This paper takes the two-way selection process of campus recruitment in commercial banks as the research object, using the Gale-Shapley algorithm, referred to as the "GS algorithm", to study whether the adaptation of college students' employment position and major will affect the employment quality and salary level. The conclusions are as follows: 1. The best job seekers are not necessarily in the highest-paid positions, and the worst-matched job seekers are not necessarily unable to find a job; 2. High-cost jobs are often difficult to match with the most qualified employees, and similarly if the medium-performance job seekers have higher requirements for the job, it is very difficult to find a suitable job; 3. Professional mismatch does not affect employment quality and salary level, but also depends on other factors such as job cost, the job seeker's personal utility preference, personal qualification, and so on.

Authors: Wu BingZhi
Published: June 2023

The term wealth in wealth inequality is referred to the total asset of a household, and the wealth inequality implies the uneven distribution of wealth within a community. While many papers have discussed and investigated the change in wealth inequality in the past, this paper aims to investigate the change in wealth inequality during the COVID-19 pandemic (Q4 2019 to Q2 2022) in the United States. This approach was to take a snapshot of the wealth distribution of the top 0.1% and the bottom 50% at the start of Q4 2019 and forecast the change in wealth from changes in asset prices. Conclusive evidence from this paper and from prior research indicates that wealth inequality and the Federal Reserves monetary policy are inversely proportional; in other words, as the FED loosens its policy, wealth inequality expands.

Authors: Yuan Tengyu
Published: June 2023

Affected by COVID-19 and political factors, enterprises around the world are facing many problems, such as an unstable market environment, stagnant productivity growth, and overcapacity. At the same time, the development and innovation of digital technology indicate the inevitability of digital transformation and point out a new direction for the development of enterprises. This paper studies the digital transformation of human resources in enterprise management. It is found that digitalization still has a lot of room for progress in human resources. During the implementation, the digitalization of human resources still faces many difficulties, such as the lack of strategic planning, the lack of systematic training of digital skills, the failure to cultivate relevant talents, and the failure to combine performance with digitalization. As a result, the scope of transformation is narrow, the efficiency of transformation is low, and the goal of transformation cannot be achieved. This requires the digitization and modernization of the basic elements of human resources, the digitization of talent ability, and the data visualization of the performance management system. Only in this way can digital technology be used to continuously empower the enterprise's human resource management, which is conducive to the enterprise's sustainable competitiveness and thus improve the enterprise's economic benefits.

Published: June 2023

Background: The most common patohistological finding in primary hyperparathyroidism is adenoma of the parathyroid gland, followed by hyperplasia and the rarest is carcinoma. However, hyperplasia of the parathyroid glands (PTG) is most commonly found in secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the localization of the parathyroid glands and pathological diagnosis, as well as the prevalence of individual pathological diagnosis after surgery in patients with hyperparathyroidism. Methods: Analysis of retrospective-prospective database of 79 patients who underwent parathyreoidectomy for hyperparathyroidism in the 7-year study period. Diagnostic methods were used to identify enlarged parathyroid glands as well as to determine their localization: ultrasound examination, scintigraphy and operative finding. Standard hematoxylin eosin staining was used for pathophysiological diagnosis. A correlation analysis between parathyroid gland localization and pathophysiological diagnosis was performed. Results: The median age of the patients were 51 age (range 20-73) and 67,1% of the patients were female. In the total number of surgically removed parathyroid glands (182), the most common pathophysiological diagnosis was hyperplasia. Parathyroid adenoma was found in 21 cases. Other diagnoses (thyroid nodule / tissue, lymph node, thymus, cancer) were found in 11 cases, while a normal finding was found in 12 glands. Pathophysiological diagnosis of hyperplasia and adenoma were more common in the lower parathyroid glands. Using the chi-square test, no association was found between pathophysiological diagnosis and localization of enlarged parathyroid glands. Conclusion: The most common pathophysiological diagnosis in hyperparathyroidism was hyperplasia and was most commonly found in the inferior parathyroid glands. Adenoma as pathophysiological diagnosis is also most commonly found in the lower parathyroid glands, but without statistical significance.

The literature on the internationalization of curricula is rich, yet research on how a curriculum within scientific and engineering disciplines is internationalized at the faculty level is limited. This study intended to describe the process of internationalizing curricula, identify approaches undertaken by the faculty, and explore challenges confronted by the faculty. A case study and semi-structured interviews were conducted. The findings of this study will provide higher education internationalization management and professionals practical guidance into the internationalization of curricula activities.

"The complicated period the states are facing, caused by the onset of the SARS CoV-2 pandemic, has produced changes in the behaviour of some countries, while others have kept their preferences for old practices. The Russian Federation is among those that have identified in recent developments on the world stage the opportunity to exploit the vulnerabilities its targets face, the aim being to obtain strategic advantages. Thus, from the campaign entitled “From Russia with Love” to the disinformation campaign, the European Union is in Moscow’s attention, which through its actions tries to create instability within the EU and to discredit the organisation through actions meant to make it look like a failed project."

"The spread of propaganda by state or non-state actors through movies started almost a century ago. At the same time, the procedures used in movie production diversified and became more specialised, hence nowadays, a special product among the ones made for media channels attracts the eye of specialists in the field of influential communication: Turkish movie series focusing on former Ottoman Empire’s glorious past. Many such series have succeeded in conquering the audience from the Arab Peninsula and other parts of the world, particularly the series “Diriliș: Ertuğrul”. This movie series, expanding on the legend of 8th century Muslim Oghuz Turks from Anatolia fighting against Christian Byzantines, crusaders and Mongols, was banned in Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia and Egypt, but enjoys high popularity in other countries. Current research aims to analyse essential elements from the above-mentioned movie series that might significantly influence public opinions and sentiments of population from the Arab countries that banned it, in order to answer the question from title."

"The security and safety in fulfilling the roles of the institutions of a state are essential characteristics of any contemporary society. In order to understand the complex of threats and vulnerabilities, as well as the dynamics of their manifestation in generating crisis situations, it is required to take a comprehensive approach to the decision-makers in the societal domains: political/diplomatic, military, economic, social, critical infrastructural, informational and environmental. In this context, the development of the resilience capacity in the contemporary societal environment takes place in the perspective of the contribution of all the decision-making factors based on efficient inter-institutional planning and their proactive participation. Due to the specifics of each societal field, the situation can be understood under different coordinates, which causes difficulties in developing estimates of the crisis situations and initiating measures to prevent and counteract them. One of the solutions identified for the decision-makers to conduct a proactive behaviour in crisis situations specific to the contemporary societal environment can be expressed within the operational art of military action planning. Thus, we deem appropriate to extend the operational art specific to the military field to other societal fields and redefine the resilience capacity in the contemporary societal environment facing the new complex of threats and vulnerabilities as the COVID-19 pandemic situation."
IMPACTUL OPERAȚIEI MULTI-DOMENIU ASUPRA STRATEGIEI MILITARE

"Currently, there are more and more discussions about multi-domain operation, as an advanced method of approaching military action, superior to the joint operation, and, last but not least, able to revolutionise the way the Armed Forces respond to the specifics of new threats to the security of states and alliances. As a result, in my opinion, it can be said that if the multi-domain operation continues to develop doctrinally and subsequently in practice, at the operational level, it will greatly influence how the strategic military level will be organised. Moreover, the fact that the multi-domain operation can offer new opportunities to address conflicts leads us to the idea that military strategies, national and allied, as programmatic documents, will be largely influenced by it. Given that, in my view, strategic goals can be met to the extent that operational and tactical capabilities allow it, this article will address issues related to how multi-domain operation can transform military strategy."
IMPACTUL PANDEMIEI DE COVID-19 LA NIVELUL INDUSTRIEI NAȚIONALE DE APĂRARE

"The Covid-19 pandemic has scientifically proven negative effects in the world industry, which are reflected in declining sales, downsizing productive activities and rising unemployment. The allocation of 2% of the Gross Domestic Product for the defence field, as well as the programmes developed at EU and NATO level, provide the companies from the national defence industry with the possibility to adapt their product range to the procurement programmes developed by the Romanian Armed Forces. Another opportunity for companies in the national defence industry to seize is the use of funds available at EU level, including for research and development, as well as partnerships with large companies in the Euro-Atlantic area. In order to overcome the economic crisis generated by the COVID-19 pandemic, efficient cooperation is needed between state and private entities within the national defence industry and the line ministries, especially with the Ministry of National Defence and the Ministry of Economy."
