Transit Experiences
Authors: Brinkmann Tobias
Published: October 2023

Between the 1870s and 1914, millions of Eastern Europeans moved to the United States. Little is known about the actual journeys of Polish, Jewish, and other migrants. A closer look at the experiences of transmigrants reveals a sophisticated system that was managed by Germany's two largest steamship lines, the Hamburg-America Line and the Bremen-based North German Lloyd. In the early 1880s, the United States shifted to a more thorough screening of arriving migrants, refusing admission to a growing number of “undesirables.” In 1885, Germany's largest state, Prussia, implemented a restrictive immigration policy, much earlier than other states in and beyond Europe. The steamship lines convinced the Prussian state not to prevent migrants from Eastern Europe from crossing its territory. Before 1914, migrant aid associations also established a good accord with different state agencies in Europe and North America. They intervened on behalf of migrants who had been detained, often successfully. State officials embraced non-state actors because they solved protracted problems and relieved states of a financial burden. The article examines the origins of the privately handled transmigration system in Imperial Germany and raises the question whether it was beneficial for average migrants.

Authors: Wang Yangyang
Published: October 2023

Based on CLHLS data in 2018, this paper empirically analyzes the effect of participating in social activities on the mental health of the elderly in China by using Oprobit model. The findings are as follows: Firstly, compared with the elderly who have not participated in social activities, participating in social activities is helpful to reduce the depression of the elderly and improve their mental health. Secondly, the effect of participating in social activities on the mental health of the elderly is heterogeneous. For the elderly with old-age insurance, female groups and rural hukou, as well as the western region, the effect of social activities on improving the mental health level is more obvious. Thirdly, taking the depression score as a substitute variable for empirical analysis, it proves once again that participating in social activities reduces the depression score of the elderly, and proves that the mental health improvement effect of social activities of the elderly is very significant and stable. Fourthly, through the analysis of intermediary effect, it is found that participating in social activities can improve the mental health of the elderly by influencing their existing life evaluation. In order to accelerate the construction of healthy aging in China, it is urgent to continuously strengthen the health literacy of the elderly, and encourage them to actively participate in social activities based on life health, so as to effectively improve the mental health problems of the elderly.

The Impact of Investor Sentiment on Corporate Investment
Authors: Li Zhengru
Published: October 2023

With the development of the capital market and the real economy, enterprise investment is getting more and more attention; enterprise investment and the survival of the whole enterprise have a close link, with more and more phenomena presented in the market, the traditional finance in the "rational man" and "market effectiveness With more and more phenomena appearing in the market, the assumptions of "rational man" and "market effectiveness" in traditional finance are not enough to give these phenomena a reasonable explanation, and the emergence of behavioral finance relaxes the assumptions and makes the theory able to explain financial anomalies in the real market. China's capital market started late, and individual investors accounted for most factors in their investor decision-making that tend to irrational investment. This paper discusses the impact of investor sentiment changes on listed companies' investment from the perspective of behavioral finance and analyses the theoretical modeling and empirical modeling from two perspectives. Firstly, there are more individual investors in China's capital market, and it is more novel to study the investment angle of the capital market from the perspective of investor sentiment, so this study has significance to the market; secondly, it discusses the literature review of the relationship between investor sentiment and listed enterprises' investment by scholars in the past, and analyses the former's impact on the latter from theoretical modeling and puts forward hypotheses; after that, we use empirical methods to prove whether the hypotheses are valid or not; and finally analyses the results of the empirical research, the shortcomings of this paper's research and the constructive suggestions and future research space for the topics discussed in this paper.

Authors: Yu Shaoran
Published: October 2023

Since the reform and opening up,China's economic and technological level has been significantly improved. For a long time, the Chinese economy has been in a stable and upward trend. With the arrival of the "Internet plus" era, the impact of innovation on economy and finance has risen to a new level. After the opening of the financial market, there was immediately what we are now familiar with financial risks and innovation, and financial innovation is aimed at reducing financial risks. According to the theory of economic cycle fluctuations, there are many factors that lead to macroeconomic fluctuations, including the total demand level such as consumption and investment, as well as the total supply level such as technological progress. With the continuous advancement of economic globalization, financial innovation, and financial integration, while financial markets bring economic profits, they inevitably bring systemic financial risks, which in turn affect the operation of the macro economy and seriously lead to financial crises. Only by mastering more economic operation information, having stronger judgment on future economic trends, and communicating more effectively with the market, can the efficiency of macroeconomic regulation be improved. This article studies the impact of financial innovation on macroeconomic fluctuations.

Authors: Peng Jian , Savannah Yuanyuan Guo  , Li Yun
Published: October 2023

Using a unique Chinese quasi-experiment of corporate tax policy changes in 2014, we examine the effectiveness of introducing accelerated depreciation as a corporate tax incentive on improving firm value. The results show that, relative to control firms, treatment firms that received the accelerated depreciation tax treatment experience significant improvement in total factor productivity (TFP) both immediately and in the long term. We also find that the enhanced firm value is achieved through optimized capital structure and increased level of innovation. We further find that the beneficial effects are more pronounced in state-owned enterprises (SOE), firms with high labor intensity, financial constraints, high growth, and locations in high marketization provinces. Our research uniquely contributes by providing evidence of the microeconomic benefits of corporate tax policies in an emerging market.

Research on the Impact of Digital Finance on Entrepreneurship Level in Yangtze River Delta region
Authors: Zhang Qun
Published: October 2023

This paper empirically analyzes the impact of digital finance on entrepreneurship based on a panel data of 41 prefecture-level cities in the Yangtze River Delta region for 9 years from 2011-2019. The paper further analyzes the moderating effect of foreign direct investment and the mediating role of government intervention and innovation, and concludes with heterogeneity analyses. The empirical results show that digital finance has a significant promotion effect on entrepreneurship, and this promotion effect is diminished by the increase of foreign direct investment. Digital finance in turn can promote entrepreneurship by reducing government intervention and increasing the level of innovation. From the heterogeneity analysis, it is clear that the promotion effect of digital finance on entrepreneurship is significant only in central cities, while the negative moderating effect of FDI is significant only in non-central cities.

Authors: Huang Xiaohui
Published: October 2023

Based on the perspective of human capital and environmental regulation, the comprehensive evaluation index and environmental regulation intensity of digital economy are obtained by entropy method and comprehensive index method. Based on the panel data of prefecture-level cities from 2011 to 2018, the influence of China digital economy on foreign direct investment inflow is analyzed. The results show that the digital economy positively affects the inflow of human capital and foreign direct investment; The total effect of digital economy on FDI inflow can be divided into direct effect and intermediary effect. The direct effect of digital economy on FDI inflow is significantly positive, and human capital is the intermediary variable between digital economy and FDI inflow, and its intermediary effect is significantly negative. Environmental regulation negatively affects the inflow of foreign direct investment, and its regulatory role significantly inhibits the positive impact of digital economy on the inflow of foreign direct investment. Therefore, on the one hand, it is necessary to accelerate the high-quality development of the digital economy and actively and effectively introduce foreign capital; On the other hand, the government should implement environmental regulation policies according to local conditions, give full play to the "compensation effect" of environmental regulation, and actively introduce foreign capital inflows.

Tales on the Origin of Life in Primo Levi’s Works
Authors: Maiolani Michele
Published: October 2023

This article investigates Primo Levi’s representations of the origin of life, particularly considering his essays and science-fiction short stories. After introducing the two main sources of inspiration that Levi refers to when writing narratives on this subject, classical and biblical mythologies and Darwinian evolutionary theory, the article offers a close reading of two short stories, “I sintetici” and “Disfilassi”, that depict a moment of ‘second genesis’ set in the near future. This process is seen by Levi from an ecological perspective in relation to the environmental risks that human technology and overpopulation pose to our planet. Following the analysis of the writer’s essays about recent chemical and biological theories on how life originated on Earth, the last paragraph focuses on the tangencies between Levi’s investigation of the origin of life and his reflections on the source of literary creativity, summed up by the short story “Carbonio”.
Primo Levi and the Terrestrial Condition
Authors: Guaraldo Emiliano
Published: October 2023

In his stories, Primo Levi presents contrasting planetary visions of Earth: one depicting it as an expanding technosphere made of entangled beings, and the other as a world of disparities impacted by the agency of a mutated humanity. But Levi's ideas of planet do not solely advocate for a utopian cosmopolitanism of all living beings; he critically probes the tension between technology's promises in industrialized societies and the worldview that sees Earth merely as an exploitable resource. Moreover, his stories emphasize the divisions and the contradictions created by the planetarization of the logic of industrial modernity. This essay analyzes selected short stories from Vizio di forma, seeking to unpack Levi's intricate engagements with planetary concepts and the emergent idea of a terrestrial condition. Central to this exploration is how Levi's planetary vision reflects the inherent tensions between the individual and the collective, and between different scales and ways of existing.

Published: October 2023

Comminuted patellar fractures pose a challenging problem in orthopedic surgery due to the complexity of fracture patterns and the potential for compromised knee function. This study aimed to evaluate the functional outcomes of patients with comminuted patellar fractures treated with patellar mesh plate fixation at CMH Rawalpindi's Department of Orthopedic Surgery. A retrospective study was conducted at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at CMH Rawalpindi between September 2022 and August 2023. This retrospective study comprised 28 patients with comminuted patellar fractures treated at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at CMH Rawalpindi between September 2022 and August 2023. The non-probability purposive sample approach was utilized to enroll 28 patients. who had surgery with a patellar mesh plate. The patients were seen in the outpatient department at 6 and 18 weeks. At 18 weeks, the variables specified in the Modified Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Score were recorded, and the Knee Score was computed and analyzed. This study included 18(64.28%) male patients and 10(35.71%) female patients. The average age was 24.96±5.09 years, ranging from 15 to 75 years. There were 2(7.14%) patients aged 15-25 years, 10(39.28%) patients aged 26-35, 8(28.57%) patients aged 36-45, 2(7.14%) patients aged 46-55, 3(10.71%) patients aged 56-65, and 2(7.14%) patients aged 66-75 years. The MHSSKS assessed the patient's well-being. The age distribution of our patients was: 11 patients (39.28%) were 75–56 years old, 12(42.85%) were 55–36 years old, and 5(17.85%) were 35–25 years old. This mean score quantifies our patients' knee function and health. The "Excellent" category indicated significant improvements in knee function and quality of life in 13 patients (46.42%). Twelve patients (42.85%) had a "Good" functional result, and three patients (10.71%) had a "Fair" functional result, suggesting some knee function improvement, but less than those in the Excellent and Good groups. Patellar mesh plate fixation affects comminuted fracture rehabilitation and recovery via functional outcome categories. Patellar mesh plate fixation could be an effective surgical treatment for comminuted patellar fractures with good functional results. However, patient considerations and fracture characteristics should be addressed while choosing a therapy. These results need to be confirmed by larger future studies with longer follow-ups.

ZOROASTRIANISM AND AVESTA AFTER THE SASSANIDS: THE ISSUE OF SURVIVAL
Authors:   Western Caspian University, Mammadov Rauf
Published: October 2023

Abstract. This research aims rigorously and critically examine the extant Avestan texts and the religious and cultural traditions of the Zoroastrian priests who have preserved these texts to the present day. Here, along with the analysis of information obtained from Zoroastrian sources about the Avesta and Zoroastrianism, written in the Middle Persian language in the 9th-10th centuries, their comparison with modern Zoroastrian (Parsism) traditions is one of the main objectives of the study. The attitude of European scholars to these issues from the nineteenth century onwards is also scrutinized and the reasons for the numerous discrepancies are identified. Contradictions between the religious outlook of modern Zoroastrians and the text of the Gatha are revealed and the reasons for them are discussed.
The Main Directions Of The National Freedom Movement In Northern Azerbaijan At The Beginning Of The 20th Century

Abstract. Research on the main development course and characteristics of the National Liberation Movement at the beginning of the twentieth century in Azerbaijan is important in the light of the decolonization discourse. This study analyzes religious-philosophical (idealistic), atheistic-Marxist, also enlightenment, national-democratic and socialdemocratic directions, existed for solving the political problems of this era. Moreover, the nature of political-ideological, socio-philological aspects of these directions has been studied. Before the first Russian revolution (1905-1907) and during the years of the revolution, the political and ideological situation of Northern Azerbaijan became complex and contradictory. Especially after the first Russian revolution, the political and ideological life of the country mainly developed in three directions: 1) National enlightment romanticism (realists, romantics), 2) National democratic direction (Islamism, Turkism, modernism and etc.), 3) Social democratic trends and Marxism (national revolutionaries, Menshevism, Bolshevism, Socialist Revolutionaries). The results of the study show that although all three directions played a unique role in the national liberation movement of Azerbaijan, the national democratism was a major course. At the same time, this paper scrutinize the conditions, as well as the factors that existed in the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic1 and led to the end of its existence.
DE GEZONDE STAD
Authors: Velzing Evert-Jan , Bakker Ingrid
Published: October 2023

Niemand is tegen het idee van de gezonde stad. Dat betekent evenwel niet dat duidelijk is wat een gezonde stad is en al helemaal niet wat een stad gezond maakt. De combinatie van de woorden stad en gezond kan bijvoorbeeld gaan over de fysieke kwaliteit van de entiteit zelf: het verval of juist het onderhoud van gebouwen en infrastructuur, of over hoe we de materialen intact houden. Een andere invalshoek is de economische dynamiek en het concurrentievermogen. Gezondheid of vitaliteit hangt dan bijvoorbeeld af van werkgelegenheid, de kwaliteit van instituties, (hoger) onderwijs en innovatiemogelijkheden (e.g. RCI, 2023).
Het Rijksinstituut voor Volksgezondheid en Milieu (RIVM) heeft het over een gezonde stad wanneer de leefomgeving “als prettig wordt ervaren, [ze] uitnodigt tot gezond gedrag en […] de druk op de gezondheid zo laag mogelijk is” (De Jongh et al., 2021). Het is daarbij essentieel om te beseffen dat de leefomgeving een fysieke en een sociale component heeft. Zowel de fysieke als sociale leefomgeving beïnvloeden immers waar mensen wonen en hoe het met hen gaat. Voor Klasien Horstman en Mare Knibbe gaat gezondheid in de stad voor een belangrijk deel over de publieke ruimte (e.g. Low, 2022). Dat maken zij met de ondertitel van hun boek perfect duidelijk: Gezonde stad. Uitsluiting en ontmoeting in de publieke ruimte (2022)

Effects of a teacher training programme on historical awareness skills, controversial issues and gender in secondary education
Authors: Ortega-Sánchez Delfín , Barba-Alonso César
Published: October 2023

This research analyses the impact of a teaching intervention aimed at the development of historical awareness skills in future secondary school social science teachers (n = 19), and its relationship with the curricular inclusion of controversial issues, gender and its diversity in history education. From a quasi-experimental design, the Epistemology, Methodology and Gender in taught history (EMG) scale was adapted as a data collection instrument. The main results obtained report a statistically significant impact of the intervention on the curricular need for didactic treatment of social problems and controversial issues, and for addressing education for participatory democracy in the social science curriculum; making visible individuals, social groups/collectives and plural identities (including gender); recognizing the relative nature of social-historical knowledge; and redirecting historical knowledge towards purposes oriented towards social transformation and education for the future. Likewise, after the programme, the representations of future teachers tend to weaken the perception of historical knowledge as an interpretative reconstruction of the past, its limited impact on the historicity of the present and its absence in the configuration of desirable futures, and to strengthen the need to understand the historical method in the teaching of social sciences.
Linear and Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Building with V Shape Steel Bracing

Published: October 2023

In this study, the RC-MRCBFs were used with V braced frame. The core objective of this examination is to understand the earthquake behavior of the RC-MRCBFs in steel V braced frames. Response spectrum analysis (RSA) is used to understand the seismic performance of the steel braced and un-braced RC frames. Total 12 steel braced RC frames and 12 un-braced frames for all 4 story, 8story, 12 stories and 16 stories are studied and observed the seismic parameter such as fundamental time period (FTP), top story displacements, inter-story drift, base shear and story stiffness of the structures. After studying the parametric study of the 4 to 16 story buildings with a linear and nonlinear analysis tool it was observed that to get the effective braced frame with expected failure mechanism, ductility, the columns should be designed such that, they resist at least 50% base shear contributions. It is observed that using the steel V bracing in the low rise to mid-rise buildings, improves the seismic behaviors of the structures. The steel bracing reduces the maximum top story displacements, drift and time period of the building and increases the seismic base shear demand, stiffness of the structures. The result shows that as increasing the base shear contribution in the columns, the drift and displacement of the story increases and base shear decreases. Key Words: Response Spectrum Analysis, displacement, Maximum storey drift, Storey shear, Storey stiffness, braced frame, RC buildings.
