Authors: Ran Runyang , Niu Zizhou , Zhang Zixuan , Zhang Yutong
Published: September 2023

During the 2008 financial crisis, many investment and commercial banks were hit hard. The primary reasons that caused the financial crisis were the abuse of mortgage securitization and the housing bubble. In this paper, our group mainly focused on the potential issue of the mortgage securitization structure and the impact that the abuse of securitization caused. Our group analyzed the correlation between mortgage defaults through the OLS linear regression model. It showed an underestimation of the possibility of defaulting on securitization products (MBS, CDO, etc.). Furthermore, our group analyzed the expansion of this potential risk due to the raised housing bubble. After analyzing the potential risk, our group analyzed the impacts that the securitization caused in macro and micro views. First, our group analyzed vital factors that affect bank performance using the OLS linear regression model. Moreover, based on the change of these critical factors caused by the exposed potential risk from the securitization structure, our group analyzed the banks performance during the financial crisis. Second, our group analyzed the macro impacts before, during, and after the financial crisis due to the abuse of securitization. Overall, according to the potential risk in the securitization structure and the macro and micro impacts caused by the exposed potential risk, our group concluded that the abuse of securitization was the curse for the whole financial system at that time.

Authors: Yang Shuotian
Published: September 2023

The prices of luxury goods are soaring. Among them, the price of luxury watches fluctuates considerably. Some styles are even out of stock for a long time. This article analyzes the reasons for the large price fluctuations of luxury watches by comparing different watch brands and types. The data in this article mainly comes from watch buying and selling websites. Watch prices can fluctuate for 3 reasons. The first is that the relationship between supply and demand determines the rise and fall of prices. Secondly, the relationship between retailer sales and scalpers also contributed to the volatility of watch prices. Finally, ordinary consumers buy watches from oligarchic merchants at higher prices, which also causes watch prices to rise a lot.

Authors: Wang Yuan
Published: September 2023

With the globalisation of the economy, more and more companies are operating abroad and developing into multinational companies. Due to the differences in political systems, cultural backgrounds and language environments in different countries and regions, cross-cultural conflicts in companies are inevitable and are becoming more pronounced over time. This paper examines whether cross-cultural conflict has an impact on employee satisfaction through a review of previous literature. The paper first examines the four dimensions of culture, uncertainty avoidance, religion and language, and then examines employee satisfaction in terms of religion, language, management style and cross-cultural competencies, and finally combines the two to identify the links. It was found that language, religion and culture conflict are the main reasons for the decline in employee satisfaction, while for managers, their own intercultural competencies also have an impact on their satisfaction. The research in this paper helps to make companies pay more attention to cross-cultural conflicts within the company as a way to maintain employee satisfaction.

Did Feds Rate Policy Benefit U.S. Company: Evidence from Tesla
Authors: Li Linxuan
Published: September 2023

This paper studies the impact of the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy on American companies, taking Tesla as evidence. Data on the Tesla stock as well as the USD/RMB exchange rate for the previous year were gathered. The impact of a rising exchange rate on companies goes in two directions. On the one hand, the appreciation of the dollar means the depreciation of foreign operating income, and the depreciation of the domestic currency is bad for exports. On the other hand, it will affect how the stock market operates. An increase in dollar holdings in international financial markets would increase the demand for stocks, which would increase stock prices. The conclusion is that the Fed's interest rate policy to control inflation in the United States has, to some extent, come at the expense of stock market growth. The VAR model and ARMA-GARCH model were used to model and analyze the data, and forecast the trend of the company's stock price, then make recommendations for policymakers and investors. For policymakers, it is necessary to adjust the policy appropriately to minimize the volatility of stock market returns, and investors should turn to assets with lower risk instead of blindly investing.

Published: September 2023

Stroke is one of the most serious health problems faced today. This is because a sudden stroke can cause physical and mental disabilities that can interfere with a person's productivity and can even cause sudden death. Stroke can be divided into two, namely hemorrhagic stroke and non-hemorrhagic stroke. Hemorrhagic stroke is a stroke that occurs due to damage to blood vessels in the brain. While non-hemorrhagic stroke, also known as ischemic stroke, occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted or stopped. About 80% of the most common strokes are caused by an ischemic stroke. One of the causes of ischemic stroke due to atherosclerotic plaque. Elevated levels of homocysteine ??in the blood (hyperhomocysteinemia) can lead to chronic inflammation of the blood vessels that triggers the formation of atherosclerotic plaques and causes blockage of blood flow. Folic acid is a type of water-soluble vitamin and can play a role in preventing stroke. Folic acid can act as an antihomocysteine ??so that it can prevent the formation of atherosclerotic plaques which is one of the risk factors for stroke
Maximum surgical blood order schedule in urology surgery
Authors: Lukic Vojislav , Kovac Mirjana
Published: September 2023

Aim: To improve patient blood management (PBM), a special system of collecting and testing blood units has been developed. It defines the maximum number of allogeneic red blood cell components necessary for certain surgical interventions. This system is referred to as "The Maximum Surgical Blood Order Schedule" (MSBOS). The aim of the study was to evaluate the rationality of red blood cell consumption during urological surgeries.
Materials and Methods: During the course of one year, a retrospective study was conducted on 617 patients. The study included 185 women and 432 men, with a median age range of 60 years old (ranging from 45 to 75 years old). The consumption of red blood cell units was evaluated in relation to the primary indication and type of surgery, preoperative data on hemoglobin values, and coagulation tests.
Results: The overall C:T ratio was 4.2, which corresponds to 24% of transfused units in relation to the number of cross-match tests performed. A statistically significant difference in the average related to the age was observed between the subjects in whom there was irrational (64.65±9.49 years) and those in whom there was a rational use of red blood cells. A statistically significant difference was also observed in the frequency of different primary diagnoses according to the International Diseases Classification) and in relation to the values of hemoglobin and prothrombin time (PT) between the group with rational and irrational use of red blood cells.
Conclusion: The obtained data showed unreasonable use of RBC based on the C:T ratio and therefore the necessity of introducing of PBM system as well the necessity to revise the existing protocols for red blood cell demand according to indications and to improve patient preparation in order to minimize the use of allogeneic red blood cells.
The usefulness of hemogram parameters in the differential diagnosis of patients with abdominal pain who are being treated for acute appendicitis
Authors: Gozukucuk Ramazan , Gozukucuk Ali
Published: September 2023

Acute appendicitis (AA) is among the most common immediate surgical operations in children for all age groups. To determine whether complete blood count (CBC) criteria may be used to help physicians differentiate between AA and other causes of abdominal pain in patients who visit the emergency room. The data of 116 patients with abdominal pain who were brought into the emergency room and hospitalized between January 20 and December 21 were analyzed retrospectively. The CBC parameters of 53 patients diagnosed with AA (Group 1) and 63 patients who received non-AA medical treatment (Group 2) were compared. In addition, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were performed to determine the sensitivity and specificity of these parameters at the optimum cutoff values.The M/F ratio of the patients was 36/17 in Group 1 and 40/23 in Group 2. White blood cell (WBC), neutrophil and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) values were noticeably higher in AA patients than in patients receiving medical treatment (p<001). According to the 9.84 cutoff value of WBC, the sensitivity value was 84.1%, and the specificity was 73.6, for neutrophils, the sensitivity was 87.3% and the specificity was 62.3% (4.81 cutoffs), while 2.19 NLR showed a sensitivity of 74.6% and specificity of 56.6%, with a cutoff value of 2.19.We believe that the values of CBC parameters such as WBC, neutrophil and NLR should still be considered when treating various patient groups and making a differential diagnosis.
The Impact of External Debt on Human Capital Development and GDP Growth in HIPCs: a Comprehensive Approach
Authors: Demissew Beyene Sisay , Kotosz Balázs
Published: September 2023

The growth theorists argue that human capital development/accumulation (HCD/A) is vital for economic growth. However, the level of external debt accumulation determines HCA and its effect on economic growth. Besides, the impact of external debt on growth is still debatable. Further, the external debt-growth relationship could be non-linear instead of linear, and external debt can affect growth through the HCD channel. Therefore, this study aims to look at the impact of foreign debt on HCD and growth in heavily indebted poor countries (HIPCs) employing seemingly unrelated regressions (SUR) and other alternative simultaneous equations models (SEMs) from 1990–2017. The result indicates the link between foreign debt and HCD is negative and non-linear, but only non-linearity is observed between foreign debt and growth. Besides, external debt affects HIPCs growth through the HCD channel. Therefore, the study recommends essentializing solid macroeconomic policies, strengthening institutional performance, appropriate debt management strategies, and investing borrowed funds in productive projects.

Authors:   The Institute for Democratization Movement Research, Kwon Haein
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this thesis is to compare the differences between the two discourse on Rudolf von Laban's (1879-1958) activities under the Ministry of Propaganda in Germany from 1933 to 1937. To this end, 'Movement Chorus', 'The German Dance Festival (1934)' and 'Master workshops (1935)' organized by Laban were examined. The research method is a literature study, and research was conducted through domestic and foreign books, academic journal articles, internet articles, news, magazines, and book reviews. It is comprehensively described by considering the people around Laban, a series of events, and the situation of the times. It is meaningful in that it requires a contextual understanding of Laban's activities in Germany from a value-neutral point of view and studies by placing the two opposing discourses on the same line. The conclusion is as follows. First, the advocacy/critical views on Laban's activities in Germany are compatible, and in-depth research is needed. Second, it is necessary to understand the historical and political situation of Laban at the time and to understand his activities in the historical context of dance art. Third, it can be said that Laban's activities in Germany from 1933 to 1937 had both positive and negative effects on Laban's reputation in the future. Fourth, Laban and the propaganda department's different views on dance led their relationship to ruin. Finally, it is necessary to discuss the facts that have not yet been actively publicized about Laban's activities, and consider the intrinsic and extrinsic factors regarding the severance of relations between Laban and the Propaganda Department. The next question to think about is the question, ‘Can dance be controlled?’, and follow-up research is needed on this question.
