Authors: S. Kannan  , Makam Lokesh , Prasad S.P. Venkatesh
Published: March 2024

In the present open field trial study, using Barrix Hunter-RPW Trap and Lure (patent applied:202241012003) the pest RPW was successfully influenced with chemoreception by the use of pheromone lure containing a blend of 4-methyl-5-nonanol and 4-methyl-5-nonanone, in specific blend ratio of 7:1. The attraction efficiency of Barrix Hunter-RPW trap and lure was also affected by the colour of the trap, with specific maroon colour, matching to PANTONE 7421 C colour code influencing the chromoreception and colour cue of the pest RPW. The trap’s colour and pheromone lure both efficiently producing linear influence in attracting and trapping of RPWs in coconut fields. Pest catch data was statistically analysed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), the results demonstrated that combined pheromone blend lure and trap’s colour have a significant effect on attracting adult red palm weevils. Mean sum of weevils caught / trap at the end of 4 weeks was significantly higher in maroon coloured trap, followed by brown coloured trap and least number of weevils captured in burgundy coloured trap. Thus, field trials demonstrated maximum mean number of weevils captured was statistically significant for maroon (matching to PANTONE 7421 C colour code) coloured crescent wing trap, used along with pheromone lure; Barrix Hunter RPW Trap and Lure.

Authors: Akinyemi Isiaka Adeniran , Ezeabasili Ndidi Patience
Published: March 2024

This study was motivated by the disagreement that has existed within the educational community on the benefit of homework, even as homework is assigned for academic and non-academic purposes. This research was carried out to determine the influence of the volume of assignments on pupils’ academic performance in private primary schools in Education District V of Lagos State, Nigeria. Descriptive research design was adopted to describe the influence of the volume of assignments, frequency, and time dedicated to homework on pupils’ academic performance. The study’s population comprised all approved private primary schools within the Education District V of Lagos State, while the study’s sample comprised 302 participants involving 173 pupils in primary 5 and 6, 75 of their parents and 54 of their teachers selected using a purposive sampling technique. The research instruments used were the Volume of Assignment Questionnaire for Pupils (VAQPx), Volume of Assignment Questionnaire for Parents (VAQPy), and Volume of Assignment Questionnaire for Teachers (VAQT), as well as the Promotional Examination Records (PER) of pupils in primary 5 and 6 transiting to the secondary level of education. The three hypotheses formulated for this study were tested using Pearson’s Product-Moment Correlation at a 0.05 level of significance. The results showed that there is no significant relationship between the volume of assignments and pupils’ academic performance in private primary schools (r = -0.095, p> 0.05); no significant influence of the frequency of homework on pupils’ academic performance in private primary schools (r = -0.093, p > 0.05); and no significant influence of time dedicated to homework on pupils’ academic performance in private primary schools (r = -0.114, p>0.05). The conclusion drawn in this study is that homework at primary school level does not influence positively the academic performance of the pupils and, as such, should be reduced to the bare minimum or abolished totally. It is then suggested that the kids should be allowed to be kids or given homework that is not only experimental but also fun activities, because at their level, they only want to play, have fun, and rest. The last thing a kid would want to do after "school work" is another "work" in the form of homework. Teachers are also encouraged to give assignments when necessary, like cooking, playing crossword puzzles, or watching educational television shows. These are activities that they would enjoy. Homework policies should also be formulated to guide schools on the frequency, volume, and time to be dedicated to homework.

Phases of Filipino Proletarianism in the 20th Century Dagling Tagalog: A Critique Using Pierre Macherey’s Theory of Gaps and Silences
Authors: Paglinawan Reah Izza , Hussin Hanafi
Published: March 2024

Self-image is deeply rooted in one’s place in society, as manifested in one’s involvement in its facets and realities which are spoken of in literature, and yet it is the “unspoken” or the “unsaid”– the gaps and silences in the texts– that exposes the ‘unconscious’ of the work where lies a text’s repressed historical narrative and discourse. Accordingly, this study was targeted toward the deep understanding of how Filipinos see themselves and each other as Filipinos (self-image and self-identity) during the American colonization in the Philippines in the 20th century, specifically as proletarians, through the examination of the textual gaps and silences in dagling Tagalog texts written and published in the early 20th century. Using the post-structuralist Marxist theory of gaps and silences by Pierre Macherey, this paper discusses the subject formation of Filipino characters into the image of a proletarian and the phases of Filipino proletarianism. The results indicate that there are three phases to which Filipino proletarians are subjected: from False Consciousness to Recognition of Oppression, and finally to Revolution or Self-emancipation through carrying the “duty.” The study concludes that the texts are propagandist literature, with anti-government, anti-capitalist, and anti-colonial sentiments hiding behind the mask of fiction and satire, emerging through the gaps and silences. Additionally, the portrayal of the Filipino proletariat in the texts is shaped by Marxist ideals of revolution, hence the inclination of the literary production of the texts towards the communist ideology.
Scammer Strategies and Social Actions in Online Filipino Transactions
Authors: Ibañez Kiarah Reyshylle
Published: March 2024

As technology has developed newer and faster forms of communication, the internet has also become a convenient medium for scammers to interact with their targets. Since deception is understudied from a linguistic perspective, this paper investigated the persuasive strategies and linguistic markers of scammers and analyzed the social actions of both scammers and their targets—all of whom are users of the Filipino language. This qualitative study employed digital conversation analysis in analyzing ten conversations between scammers and their targets—all of which were failed scams. The results showed that scammers used emotion, credibility, and logic in persuading their targets. The following linguistic markers were found in their utterances: (1) pronouns that are personal, exclusive, inclusive, noncommittal, impersonal, and ambiguous; (2) negation used for denial, non-existence, refusal, discouragement, inability, loss, contrast, clarification, and correction; (3) emotion words expressing happiness, astonishment or amusement, worry, doubt or fear, shame, regret or inadequacy, and fondness, and lastly, (4) cognitive verbs indicating equivocation, and expression of knowledge or understanding. Furthermore, the social actions of the scammers and the targets were categorized into four sequences that generally involved certain actions: (1) pre-offer (asking about and providing details), (2) insert (expressing doubt and explaining), (3) offer (offering or asking for money/info, and rejecting), and (4) post-offer (insisting, showing aggression, or conceding and retaliating or interrogating). Although all conversations resulted in the targets’ rejection of the scammers’ offer, which undermines social solidarity, dispreference is seen as a beneficial response in conversations involving scams.
Food and Ayuda Narratives during the Pandemic in Remote and Small Island Communities in Northern Iloilo, Philippines
Authors: Pavo Raymundo , Badayos-Jover Mary Barby P. , Bagsit Farisal
Published: March 2024

Food insecurity and access to ayuda, or government-initiated social protection programs, were essential concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. While the needs in urban city centers are fairly attended to by government instrumentalities, the question of how food and survival issues in small and remote island communities are addressed warrants equal attention. In this paper, the people’s narratives in remote and small island communities are investigated to assess how individuals survive and can be subjectively well during the pandemic. Through focus group discussions, three activities were conducted: community map making, Lamesa activity, and ayuda/basket activity participated by representatives from the seven barangays in remote island communities in Northern Iloilo in May 2023. As a result of the FGDs, this paper concluded the following insights: (1) Rice is a key resource as it indicates a household’s food security and subjective well-being at the time of the pandemic, (2) Cash or money in the Ayuda program of the local government is important as it allows households to access food and improve its stock of food supplies, (3) Having alternative financial resources is important as the island communities are mainly dependent on fishing as its core economic activity, and (4) Volunteer work for the community forms part of the people’s subjective well-being despite the limitations experienced with regards to food and financial resources.

O Dióxido de Carbono - CO2, é o principal causador do aquecimento global, respondendo por 75% das emissões de gases de efeito estufa antropogênicas. A substituição dos atuais combustíveis fósseis por componentes ecologicamente corretos, que provoquem a redução do CO2, é uma das premissas desse trabalho. A utilização do Gás Natural como combustível à geração termoelétrica é apresentada como uma forma segura e estável ao sistema elétrico, até que haja a substituição por modelos sustentáveis. A segurança da rede de Gás Natural é necessária para apoiar a matriz energética, o crescimento econômico e, consequentemente, a matriz social de uma nação.  A diminuição da vulnerabilidade da rede de Gás Natural, do ponto de vista de segurança, poderá ser alcançada com o monitoramento, análise e estimativas das variáveis envolvidas no modelo, e consequentemente, no controle e adequação às demandas do sistema elétrico de potência. É indispensável incluir no planejamento de um sistema de potência a infraestrutura do sistema de Gás Natural. Por outro lado, a necessidade de operação coordenada entre os sistemas de energia elétrica e de Gás Natural, aumenta a complexidade e incerteza da tarefa de despachar a geração de energia elétrica e a produção do gás, uma vez que as redes de Gás Natural não são diretamente supervisionadas e controladas por centros de operação de sistemas de energia. Neste contexto, esse artigo aplica Modelos Matemáticos fundamentados em Equações Diferenciais, cujas soluções foram encontradas mediante o uso da Inteligência Computacional, implementada no software Octave. Os resultados obtidos mostram que o Gás Natural fornece uma geração de energia estável. Mesmo sabendo que a sua origem é fóssil e, que emite gases poluentes, como o dióxido de carbono, durante seu processo de combustão, o Gás Natural é 50% menos poluente do que carvão mineral, caracterizando uma excelente vantagem na transição segura da matriz energética.

Authors: Li Kunyu
Published: March 2024

The Covid-19 pandemic has hit various industries across the world at an extremely fast pace since its emergence. This research uses real sample data, covering the status quo and attribution analysis of China's venture capital industry after Covid-19. The findings reveal that there has been a decline in early-stage investments, while investments in rounds A to C have increased since 2019. The growth rate of venture capital projects after Covid-19 has been concentrated in industries such as advanced manufacturing, healthcare, traditional manufacturing, business services, and meta-industry. Specific subsectors like biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, as well as integrated circuits, have experienced significant increases in venture capital activity. Government policies have also played a role in shaping the industry, with regulations encouraging early and small investments in technology. Additionally, the "domestic substitution" strategy has influenced venture capital investment in advanced manufacturing. These findings indicate that China's venture capital is greatly affected by policy, which is reflected in the investment industry trend, amount and rounds in recent years.

Published: March 2024

The economic situation and the direction of the stock market after the pandemic have become hot topics of concern for society. Despite numerous studies on the association between the stock market and investor sentiment, there is a dearth of consolidated and all-encompassing research on the subject in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, this article compiles pertinent information and literature on the stock markets of the United States and China amidst and following the pandemic. It delves into the connection and fundamental drivers between investor sentiment and stock returns, along with market crises, by scrutinizing and organizing the data. From the perspectives of stock returns and market crises, investor sentiment significantly affects long-term stock market returns and the occurrence of market crises by influencing investor behavior. Media orientation, herding behavior, and overreaction further explain the behavior and decisions of investors during this particular period, as well as the repercussions of these steps on the economy and the stock market need to be analyzed. These research findings contribute to a better understanding of market behavior for investors and regulatory agencies, enabling them to formulate strategies and measures to address market fluctuations and risks. The results underscore the noteworthy influence of investor sentiment on stock market returns and during market crises. Additionally, factors such as media influence, herding behavior, and overreaction shed light on the behavior and decisions of investors during this unique period.

China's fresh food retail industry is quickly evolving digitally as a result of COVID-19. At this time, researchers have discovered challenges in the application and execution of China's fresh food retail industry, but these concerns have not been uniformly studied and explained. This paper discussed the impact of digital technology on the retail industry. This paper concluded that the market share of the farmers’ market took the biggest proportion, and there was a change in the demand of consumers because of COVID-19. The digital platform was growing while there was a lack of digital technology implementation of logistics links and storage. The implementation of digital technology lacked a fully covered digital process which may lead to the absence of transparency and the Instability of sourcing ingredients. The application efficiency was low because of severe challenges in reconstructing the operation and retail concept and the issue of controlling cost. This paper provided suggestions to improve product quality and industrial efficiency.
Stock Price Analysis and Prediction Method Based on Machine Learning: Taking Apple Inc as an Example
Authors: Jin Yixuan
Published: March 2024

Stock forecasts are analyses of Apple's future performance based on financial data, market dynamics and macroeconomic factors. However, there are conflicting arguments that the wider the time horizon of the data, the more accurate the forecast. These forecasts are crucial for investment decisions, risk management and corporate governance. Therefore, in this paper, we will use vector autoregressive modelling to compare nine training sets with different time horizons and evaluate these nine sets of predictions by calculating the weights of the corresponding variables in the predictions. Knowledge of machine learning and graphical visualization is used to evaluate the share of five factors affecting stock prices as well as the training time horizon. This paper demonstrates that in the field of stock prediction the closer the time horizon is to the prediction the closer it is to the actual value. At the same time investors should consider multiple factors to diversify the risk.
An In-depth Analysis on the U.S. Economic Cyclical Impact on the World Economy
Authors: Li Kexin
Published: March 2024

After the financial crisis of 2008, the Federal Reserve conducted a new round of target rate increases for US federal funds. The accelerated process of economic globalization has led to the spread of small-scale financial turmoil in neighboring countries, leading to larger crises, and to increasingly pronounced synchronized fluctuations in economic cycles among countries. Therefore, an in-depth study of the economic synergies between the U.S. and the rest of the world and a quantitative analysis of the world's economic transmission factors are of great practical significance in promoting the healthy development of the economy, reducing the negative impacts and influences brought about by the fluctuations of other countries' economies, and, in particular, in coping with the spreading of the economic crisis. The central idea of this paper will focus on the economic synergy between the United States and other countries in the world, first of all, it will introduce the background of the topic and the significance of the research, and then summarize the current research on the analysis of scholars on the impact of policy adjustments from the channel of capital flows, the impact on the developed economies, and the combination of empirical research in order to make it clear that in the big country game environment, U.S. monetary policy adjustments brought about by the impact of the multiple perspectives of multi-level research methodology. On this basis, we summarize the adjustments facing the world economy as the United States enters the interest rate hike cycle.

In the booming age of digital communication and natural language processing(NLP), understanding user sentiments expressed in texts has become increasingly vital. This research addresses the challenge of classifying text sentiments into three distinct categories: positive, neutral, and negative. Recognizing the nuances of human emotion in textual content is paramount for enhancing user experiences and tailoring personalized digital interactions. This study trains a BiLSTM model, supplemented with optimization strategies to adaptively learn from a diverse dataset. Additionally, a large number of baseline experiments were conducted to compare its efficacy with traditional algorithms such as Logistic Regression. The BiLSTM model demonstrated a good accuracy of 78.21% on the test set. Conclusively, while the proposed model shows significant potential, further refinements could be made, emphasizing data augmentation and model regularization to achieve optimal performance.
