Examining Supply Chain Resilience in the Automotive Industry: A Case Study
Authors: Zhou Yixin
Published: August 2024

The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, along with government control measures and management strategies, has impacted various sectors of the economy to differing extents. The previous “dynamic zero-COVID” policy posed significant risks to companies, leading to frequent production halts and supply chain disruptions. This risk was particularly critical in the automotive industry, where each link in the supply chain is vital. If any manufacturer in the supply chain ceases production, the entire chain risks breaking during the shutdown period. Ensuring the normal operation of other parts of the supply chain during such shutdowns presents a significant challenge to the resilience of the automotive supply chain. In the current post-pandemic era, as the impact of COVID-19 diminishes and national policies adjust to reopen the country, positive implications for economic development are evident across various sectors. However, the issue of supply chain resilience remains critically important.
The Role of Road Transport Infrastructure in Shaping Property Values in West African (Ghana and Nigeria): A Review of Literature
Authors: Alexander Chinago Budnukaeku , Okpakam Ikechi
Published: August 2024

This study investigates the multifaceted impacts of road transport infrastructure on property values in West African cities, emphasizing urban and peri-urban settings. The research integrates a comprehensive literature review with empirical analyses to explore the factors affecting property value dynamics, including proximity to roads, traffic congestion, noise pollution, and socio-economic characteristics. Empirical evidence from countries such as Ghana and Nigeria reveal that well-planned road improvements generally enhance property values by improving accessibility and connectivity. However, challenges such as increased noise levels and traffic congestion can detract from residential desirability, particularly in densely populated urban areas. The study underscores the importance of integrated urban planning strategies that balance infrastructure development with environmental sustainability and community well-being. Recommendations for policymakers and urban planners include investment in infrastructure maintenance, the promotion of sustainable transport modes, and enhanced community engagement to align road transport projects with local development priorities. By addressing these issues, the study provides valuable insights for achieving sustainable urban growth and equitable property market outcomes in West Africa. This research contributes to the broader understanding of urban dynamics in developing regions and highlights the critical role of strategic infrastructure planning in shaping urban environments and property markets.
EU’s “Fifty-fifty Split Rule” for Shipping Carbon Emissions Trading: Development Logic, Legitimacy Analysis and China’s Response
Authors: Yu Lianbo
Published: August 2024

In 2021, the European Union issued a new “fifty-fifty split” regulation, proposing that the shipping industry should not only be included in its Emissions Trading System (ETS), but also that the coverage of the shipping ETS should be expanded to 50% of intercontinental shipping carbon emissions starting or ending at European ports. Based on the general legitimacy analysis of the EU’s shipping ETS, the academic community lacks research on the source of the “fifty-fifty split rule” mechanism. This article focuses on international law of the sea and international climate law. Looking at its logical approach, the dispute between the “extraterritoriality” and “full coverage” arguments held within and outside the EU on the 50% quota reflects the economic and political logic of legislation, and their combined effect produces “fifty-fifty split”. Looking at its implementation difficulties, it faces questions about its legitimacy under international law. The extraterritorial effect of the new regulation lacks an international legal basis for extraterritorial jurisdiction; although it complies with Article 2.2 of the Kyoto Protocol, it conflicts with the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities. Exploring the relevant restrictions of international law of the sea on this initiative and responding to negative impacts through legal and political means is a new methodology.

Published: August 2024

Context: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a breast malignancy with a high degree of heterogeneity. Currently, low treatment efficacy remains a challenge in dealing with TNBC. Arbacia lixula has the potential to become a new therapeutic agent in TNBC. Aims: To analyze the toxicity, allergenicity, and potential of A. lixula coelomic fluid peptides as agents that inhibit cell cycle progression and angiogenesis in TNBC cancer cells in silico. Methods: Eight A. lixula coelomic fluid peptides were modeled with UCSF Chimera software. All peptides were screened using the ToxinPred and AllerTop webserver to predict their toxicity and allergenicity. The 3D structures of GSK3B, CDK2, and VEGFR2 proteins were taken from the PDBJ database. Molecular docking was carried out using the MOE application. Results: Peptides 2, 4, 6, and 7 were non-toxic and non-allergen. Peptide 4 has the strongest binding affinity value for binding the ATP binding pocket proteins GSK3β (-11.57 kcal/mol) and VEGFR2 (-11.18 kcal/mol). Peptide 4 interacts similarly with ATP, as a native ligand, on the amino acid residues of GSK3B and VEGFR2. Peptide 1 has a binding affinity value of -10.16 kcal/mol, much stronger than ATP in the CDK2 protein, and forms the same two interactions as ATP at the amino acid residues Asp86 and Lys129. Conclusions: Peptide 1 and peptide 4 of A. lixula coelomic fluid have great potential as anti-TNBC by inhibiting the activity of proteins that play a crucial role in cell cycle progression and TNBC angiogenesis via an ATP competitive inhibitor mechanism through an in silico approach.
Un enfoque no compensatorio para medir el riesgo país en los países de la OCDE
Authors: Ivaldi Enrico , Soliani Riccardo , Parisi Pietro Stanislao , Legnaro Danilo
Published: August 2024

En los últimos años se ha producido un rápido crecimiento de los préstamos internacionales y de la inversión extranjera. Como consecuencia del gran flujo de capital hacia nuevos países en desarrollo, la exposición al riesgo de los prestamistas e inversores está aumentando, y el análisis del riesgo país se vuelve cada vez más importante para los operadores financieros internacionales. En el presente documento, proponemos un índice no compensatorio para calcular el riesgo país (desde ahora, RP) en los países de la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económicos (OCDE): el Índice Mazziotta-Pareto (IMP). Éste asume la "no sustituibilidad" de las dimensiones del RP, considerándose todas ellas de la misma importancia, sin ninguna compensación posible entre ellas. Este indicador clasifica a los países en seis grupos principales, de acuerdo con su riesgo país. Aunque se basa en un pequeño número de variables, el IMP puede evaluar con bastante precisión las "dimensiones latentes" pre-figurativas del RP a corto plazo. El índice propuesto permite evaluar comparativamente las clasificaciones internacionales de riesgo país y destacar la relevancia del riesgo económico, financiero y político como componentes de una clasificación general de riesgo.

Published: August 2024

El artículo investiga los predictores de la eficiencia en la gestión comercial de la banca minorista a través de los usos de las tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones (TIC). A partir de una muestra para 1,094 empleados y exempleados de una importante entidad financiera en España, la investigación ha obtenido dos resultados principales. En primer lugar, y para la muestra de empleados (692), la investigación obtiene que los usos de las TIC en otros elementos de valor del negocio bancario (gestión de riesgos, conocimiento y relación con el cliente, y usos profesionales del empleado), una edad menor, la organización del trabajo por objetivos, un mayor conocimiento de la política comercial de la entidad, y menores presiones competitivas del mercado (menor crecimiento de la demanda de operaciones y menos oficinas de otras entidades en el mercado próximo), determinan mayores probabilidades de mejoras de eficiencia en la gestión comercial a través del uso TIC. En segundo lugar, el análisis de los exempleados (402) refuerza los resultados obtenidos para los empleados en el sentido que los usos de las TIC vinculados con la gestión de riesgos, y con el conocimiento y la relación con el cliente, son los dos principales predictores de las mejoras de la eficiencia en la gestión comercial a través de las TIC. Las implicaciones estratégicas de los resultados obtenidos también han sido discutidas en la investigación.

Published: August 2024

Demand forecasting is vital for optimizing inventory management, production planning, and resource allocation. However, organizations face challenges due to forecast inaccuracies, leading to inefficiencies, higher costs, and reduced customer satisfaction. This study analyses various forecasting methodologies and evaluates their effectiveness. Market volatility, seasonality, and changing consumer preferences contribute to discrepancies between forecasted and actual demand. The study aims to identify these challenges, evaluate techniques, assess accuracy and scalability, investigate influencing factors, and explore the implications of improved forecasting on business outcomes. Surveys were conducted with 200 industry experts across different sectors, with data analysed using SPSS, focusing on operational efficiency, market adaptability, implementation cost, ease of integration, forecast reliability, and scalability. Key findings reveal diverse participation across sectors and roles, highlighting the universal relevance of forecasting techniques. Reliability analysis shows most variables have acceptable to good reliability, with Cronbach's Alpha values of 0.767 for forecasting accuracy and 0.703 for operational efficiency. ANOVA results indicate that the model, including predictors like operational efficiency, adaptability to market changes, implementation cost, ease of integration, forecast reliability, and scalability, explains approximately 67.6% of the variance in forecasting effectiveness (Adjusted R Square = 0.676, p < 0.000). These findings emphasize the need for organizations to strategically implement forecasting techniques that are adaptable, cost-effective, and easily integrated into existing systems, to improve their forecasting capabilities and overall business performance.

The escalating prevalence of respiratory ailments poses a significant global public health challenge, ranking among the primary
causes of mortality worldwide. Notably, diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pneumonia, cystic fibrosis,
and lung cancer, alongside the emergence of respiratory diseases, notably those induced by the coronavirus family, have contributed
substantially to global fatalities in the past two decades. Consequently, numerous studies have been undertaken to enhance the
effectiveness of therapeutic interventions against these diseases, with a particular emphasis on nanomedicine-driven pulmonary drug
delivery. As a result, the development of nanocarriers has emerged as a promising avenue to surmount the constraints associated with
traditional therapies, aiming to elevate drug bioavailability at the intended site while minimizing undesired side effects. Within this
domain, nanoparticles fashioned from chitosan (CS) exhibit distinct advantages over alternative nanocarriers owing to the inherent
biological properties of chitosan, including its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and mucoadhesive attributes. Furthermore, CS
nanoparticles have demonstrated the potential to augment drug stability, extend the duration of action, refine drug targeting, regulate
drug release kinetics, optimize the dissolution of poorly soluble drugs, and enhance the cell membrane permeability of hydrophobic
drugs. These unique properties position CS nanoparticles as a promising candidate for optimizing drug performance following
pulmonary administration. Consequently, this review endeavors to elucidate the potential of chitosan nanoparticles in the realm of
pulmonary drug delivery, shedding light on how their intrinsic biological characteristics can ameliorate the treatment landscape of
pulmonary diseases. Emphasis is placed on delineating the synergistic interplay between chitosan nanoparticles and the encapsulated
drug, thereby offering insights into the prospective advancements in treating respiratory ailments.
