African Real GDP Growth, Views from FDI, Economic Freedom and Corruption of African Countries
Authors: Bao Yuyang , Lin Xinyi , Mei Ke , Pi Yuqing
Published: June 2024

This paper uses the data of some African countries and G7 developed countries from 2010 to 2019 to study the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI), economic freedom and corruption on the real gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate of African countries. From the results of simple regression, we can draw a conclusion that the increase of FDI helps promote economic development, and it is significant. The results of the multiple linear regression show that FDI and economic freedom have a significant impact on the real GDP growth rate, and the results of the impact of FDI and economic freedom on the real GDP growth rate are the same as those of the simple regression, which are positive and negative, respectively. However, corruption is no longer significant for real GDP growth in the multiple linear regression. The above results suggest that African countries can increase the extent to which FDI controls economic freedom to achieve economic growth while minimizing government corruption. African policymakers can aggressively attract FDI, control the degree of economic freedom, and fight corruption.

Blockchain technology is an emerging technology, which has received much attention since its inception due to its data immutability and decentralization. Due to the special characteristics of blockchain, it can solve the financial services puzzle in terms of transactions and trust and can even help the financial services industry upgrade. In this review paper, we are gathering previous research papers focused on exploring the functionality of blockchain technology within the financial services sector and dividing them into two categories. One of the papers is about how blockchain works in financial services, and the other is about the impacts of blockchain in finance services. Then, we divided the article into three introductory directions according to the causal logic: the role, challenges, and development suggestions of blockchain technology in financial services. We also put forward suggestions for developing blockchain technology combined with the financial services industry.
Do Stock Returns Adhere to the Distribution Stipulated by the Students T-distribution?
Authors: Xiao Naiwen , Shi Weikai
Published: June 2024

When people are analyzing data with thicker tails compared to the normal distribution, students t-distribution is commonly applied, making it potentially relevant in the financial markets, especially returns of a stock. This research focuses on estimating the parameters of the students t-distribution in empirical data, employing the maximum likelihood fitting method in order to determine accurate parameters of estimation. In order to conclude whether the t-distribution is close math or not, we assess the goodness of fit, where synthetic data is generated, and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test is applied. Moreover, to determine if the t-distribution is the best fit for the data, a Likelihood ratio test is conducted. It provides a statistical comparison between t-distribution and alternative distributions, allowing us to select the most suitable model. Furthermore, the relationship between volatility and degrees of freedom is examined using a scatterplot. This aims to uncover any potential correlation or patterns between these variables. By undertaking these investigations, we deepened our understanding of the statistical characteristics of stock returns and gained insights for potential applications in financial modeling and risk analysis.
Chinese System and Nordic Exceptionalism: What Explains the Difference in Economic Development as well as Inequality?
Authors: Zheng Haoya
Published: June 2024

While traditional economics believes that inequality is an inevitable product of capitalist activities, the outstanding performance in both economic growth and development indicators of Nordic countries, constituting Finland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Iceland, draw loads of interest in how they manage to achieve this unique exceptionalism in the globe range. This paper undertakes a comparative analysis of the different development trajectories between China and Nordic countries, trying to uncover the secret to sustain the unparalleled model and to find inspiration to deal with the gradually noticeable issue of inequality in China. The exploration of factors contributing to Nordics development delves into social, economic and political realms, and presents that policy consistently contributing to the welfare-orientated system is the major drive for economic development. We also look at the possible policies worth referencing for China to sustain its development but also emphasize that it needs to suit Chinas own national conditions.

What Are the Effects of Aging? What Are the Existing Pension Problems in China?
Authors: Chen Feiyue
Published: June 2024

Chinas elderly population is huge according to the seventh population census in 2020, 18.7% of the population is over 60 years old, of which 13.5% are over 65 years old. China is moving towards a deeply aging society. The main drivers of this result are the implementation of the family planning policy and rapid economic growth. The highlight of this paper is that the influence of aging on the labor market, the financial market, and the quality of life of the elderly as well as the relationship among the three. A decline in the labor force will increase labor costs, which will particularly affect micro, small and medium-sized enterprises. However, rising wages could be offset by rising productivity, and rising wages will provide incentives to increase productivity, so it is not clear whether the reduction of labor force has many effects on labor productivity. Under the background of aging, the economic growth will be affected, and the consumption structure has also changed. At the same time, the mental health of the elderly is the most neglected problem. As for pension problems, this paper mainly studies the unequal distribution of pension resources. The conclusion is that the government and enterprises cooperation mechanism should be used to expand the financial investment of the elderly. Moreover, pay attention to the physical and mental health of the elderly through the establishment of different pension institutions.

Factors Influencing E-commerce Live-streaming Shopping Customers Purchase Intention in Malaysia: A Conceptual Paper
Authors: Duan Yili , Begum Mehrunishah
Published: June 2024

For fewer than a decade, live-streaming shopping (LSS) has been gradually expanding in Malaysia. LSS also known as live video shopping, enables real-time interaction between customers and online merchants. Nevertheless, there is a lack of thorough study on the elements influencing customers purchase intention, and the scope of a comprehensive framework is still restricted. This research aims to look at how Malaysian customers purchase intentions are affected by the e-commerce LSS features (product quality, product price, sales promotion, professionalism, interactivity, and entertainment). Additionally, this research will also examine whether customers trust acts as a mediating variable between e-commerce LSS features and customers purchase intention based on the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) model. A questionnaire will be utilised in a quantitative research method to gather primary data from Malaysian online customers who have made purchases from LSS and are between the ages of 18 and 59. Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) will be utilised to analyse the data that has been obtained. It is anticipated that the researchs findings will demonstrate that e-commerce LSS features will boost customers purchase intention and that this relationship will be mediated by customers trust. In addition, this research will have implications for live-streamers, online merchants, and policymakers who aim to target LSS in Malaysia by providing strategies for satisfying customers requirements and demands in terms of merchandises and services. Besides that, this research will add to the body of knowledge available to scholars in the future who are interested in this field.

Thinking Outside the Black Box: The Legal Status of Emerging Flight Recorder Technologies in Canada
Authors: David-Cooper René
Published: June 2024

In Canada, cockpit voice recorders (CVRs) are only mandated for a specific category of aircraft, resulting in many commercial and business aircraft not being equipped with these crucial devices. More recently, industry initiatives have led to the development of new technologies enabling carriers to install lightweight and relatively affordable flight recorders on aircraft that are not currently covered by CVR requirements. Many of these non-conventional recorders have capabilities that meet or even exceed those of conventional CVRs by relying on high-resolution audio and imagery recordings, infinite cloud storage, data links, etc. Canadian legislation bestows a statutory privilege on the contents of CVRs installed in accordance with regulations, but it remains unclear if this privilege also applies to non-conventional flight recorders. Through case studies, this article analyses the design and functionalities of existing devices on the market, revealing that some recorders are not actually CVRs within the meaning of the law and/or suffer from technical vulnerabilities that preclude their contents from being privileged. This article concludes by outlining the resulting liability risks associated with the use of non-conventional recorders and recommends that regulations be issued to approve eligible devices based on a fourprong test, which attests whether their recordings can benefit from the statutory privilege afforded to conventional CVRs.
Governance, Authority, and Chain of Command in Crewed Space Voyages: Some Thoughts
Authors: Erlank Wian
Published: June 2024

As humankind gears up to explore outer space in person (as opposed to using robotic envoys), there are several open-ended questions when it comes to sovereignty and methods of governance and control that should, could or would be used in such scenarios. This article aims to explore the situation where outbound crewed space missions are undertaken and eventually reach their destination with the purpose of setting up a settlement/colony or outpost on some such heavenly bodies as the moon, or Mars. The focus of this article relates to the questions of whether a clearcut military type chain of command, or rather civilian (e.g., democratic) system of governance is needed for the success of such a mission en route, as well as the role of the commander as ultimate authority on a voyage. The second question relates to whether a continuation of such military chain of command structure will be followed after arriving at the destination.
Moscow’s Diplomatic Moves in Montreal: Voting Dilemmas for the ICAO Council
Authors: Woodworth David
Published: June 2024

This article analyses the recent application by the Russian Federation under Article 84 of the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation against thirty-seven states for their imposition of airspace restrictions and aviation sanctions on Moscow due to its 2022 invasion of Ukraine. The Kremlin is likely using its application to achieve concessions on the sanctions, however, Russia’s application may test the Council’s ability to approve a decision under Article 84. The dispute highlights the effect of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Council’s voting rules which exclude Council members that are a party to a dispute. Examining the history and structure of its voting rules, one that requires a statutory majority for Council decisions, this article proposes several options to alter the ICAO Council’s voting procedures. While the voting procedure can be changed internally through the Council or by amendment to the Chicago Convention, the article concludes with the recommendation that the ICAO Council maintain the current status quo for voting on Article 84 disputes.
Regulatory Remedies in the Enforcement of Product Quality and Safety Standards in Ghana: A Case for Reform from a Comparative Analysis
Authors: Yidana Nuhu
Published: June 2024

This article examines the regulatory remedies in the enforcement of consumer law regarding the quality and safety standards of goods in Ghana. The article argues that the remedies which the regulatory institutions administer in their enforcement of consumer law in Ghana are focused mainly on punishing the manufacturer or seller of the goods. The article further contends that there are presently no provisions in the regulatory remedies for the manufacturer or seller who breached the established quality and safety standards of goods to compensate affected consumers on account of the breach. As a result, consumers only have access to common law remedies in tort for the manufacturer’s or seller’s negligence. However, this reprieve is illusory for many Ghanaian consumers as litigation is expensive and in most cases, beyond the reach of the average consumer in Ghana. Consequently, this article advocates for the adoption of the redress category of the enhanced consumer measures (ECMs) similarly introduced by the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 (CRA 2015) to secure administrative remedies for consumers as part of the regulatory remedies in the enforcement of consumer law regarding the quality and safety standards of goods in Ghana.
Featuring Financial Stability Regulation in China: A Two-Decade Review
Authors: Zhang Chi
Published: June 2024

Since the economic reform policy was introduced by the Chinese authority in 1978, the Chinese financial regulatory framework has experienced dramatic changes during the past decades. With the rapid development of the capital markets since early 1990s, China’s regulatory framework of financial markets has been moving towards a sector-based model. In 1998, the regulatory power of securities and insurance markets was spun off from the PBOC to the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) and China Insurance Regulatory Commission (CIRC) respectively. Following the amendment of the Commercial Banks Law of the PRC in 2003, China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) was established which took over the PBOC’s regulatory power of commercial banks and trust corporations. The establishment of the above sector-based regulatory system signals the Chinese government’s intention to consolidate regulatory structure in the financial sector by developing expert regulators. Although financial stability has been emphasized by the Chinese authority as early as before the Global Financial Crisis 2008, the regulatory strategies of systematic risk among different sub-sectors in China’s financial system are changing through the past two decades. This essay aims to briefly draw a whole picture of China’s practice of financial stability regulation during the past twenty year

Published: June 2024

A utilização de protetores bucais durante a prática de jiu-jitsu é fundamental para prevenção de injúrias orofaciais. Este estudo se propôs a verificar a prevalência de utilização de protetores bucais durante a prática de jiu-jitsu. Para isso, foi aplicado um questionário para 179 praticantes de jiu-jitsu. Foi observado que a maioria (62,6%) dos atletas não possuía o protetor bucal. Dos que possuíam protetores, a grande maioria possuía o protetor tipo II (termoplástico). Porém, a utilização desses protetores foi apenas ocasional pela maioria dos atletas durante os treinos, sendo justificado principalmente pelo fato de que os mesmos dificultavam a respiração. Já durante as competições, a maioria dos atletas relatou utilizar o protetor bucal, e dentre os que não o utilizavam a principal justificativa também foi devido a presença de dificuldades respiratórias. A grande maioria (80,4%) da amostra relatou já ter sofrido injúria orofacial, sendo que as mais prevalentes foram lacerações na mucosa oral (42,9%), abrasões em face (32,9%) e fraturas dentárias (11,2%). Os atletas deste trabalho possuíam predominantemente protetores tipo II, todavia, os mesmos não permanecem em posição durante os impactos e não redistribuem as forças adequadamente, sendo os protetores personalizados (tipo III) os mais indicados, mas nenhum dos atletas deste trabalho possuía. Os praticantes de esportes de contato devem receber orientações sobre os riscos de lesões traumáticas em face e suas conseqüências, além de orientações sobre métodos de proteção adequados, como a utilização de protetores bucais sob medida, a fim de prevenir as consequências de lesões no complexo bucomaxilofacial.

The wartime emergency induced amplified digitalization measures in the higher education sphere, informed by the need to take quick comprehensive action in order to achieve the overarching result to transform educational scenarios into interdisciplinary digital, blended, and hybrid frameworks. Taking into account the context of the erupted military intervention on Ukraine in February 2022, and the ensuing information warfare in various digital environments (social media, news coverage, digital communications), the specific value of the learning outcomes and outputs is allocated to the digitally enhanced foreign languages education as a tool of the internationally broadcast strife of Ukraine for freedom and sovereignty. The study results disclose the comprehensive review of dynamics of the metadigital skills development and application to construe interdisciplinary competencies of students of European (English, Spanish, French, Italian, German) and Asian (Mandarin Chinese, Japanese) Languages major programs in Ukraine through the span of educational activities in the time-frame of wartime emergency digitization measures of 2022-2023.

Interdisciplinarity applied to rural transport in Brazil through expert systems is the focus of this paper. Rural school transport is a challenge, considering the size of Brazil, the great diversity of biomes and insufficient infrastructure. Collaboration between areas by interdisciplinarity articulates individual knowledge through the object and by transdisciplinarity requires developing new knowledge, based on an individual area, going beyond and extrapolating with different criteria. The "Transcolar Rural" intelligent transport system has been developed at the UFMG School of Engineering to plan and manage rural school transport by optimizing routes and costs. The system is used in 13 states in Brazil, 500 municipalities and manages the daily transport of more than 400 thousand students in rural areas. Reducing transportation costs allows resources to be reallocated to other educational activities. The project highlights Brazil's limited resources, recognized by the government, to meet the population's health, education and transport priorities. Transparent information helps managers make decisions and supervise citizens, allowing both parties to determine priorities for resource allocation. The Project demonstrates how interdisciplinarity is effective for complex problems. The project comprehensively addresses the challenges of transporting children in Brazil by integrating technology, exact sciences and applied social sciences.

This study presents a detailed case analysis focusing on the intricacies involved in preparing a project for implementing an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, aimed at the comprehensive, phased digitalization of resource management and the operations of territorial communities. The urgency of transitioning to a more effective audit and management system for all types of resources in territorial communities is underscored by the current absence of specialized information systems designed for these specific tasks. The authors demonstrate that deploying ERP systems to manage the diverse activities of territorial communities represents a complex, yet innovative solution. Specifically, a Four-Phase Model for implementing each segment of the project have been adopted. Drawing from the extensive experience of university researchers involved in consulting for numerous territorial communities across Ukraine, this work develops principles for constructing main elements for the project. Special emphasis is placed on the careful selection of software to facilitate project activities.
