Authors: Huang Mingtao , Wu Zirui
Published: November 2023

As the impact of COVID-19 on people's daily lives is decreasing, its contribution to risk tol-erance in financial markets, especially banking risk management, will remain and continue to live for a long period of time. Due to the difficult economic climate, banks in particular have higher default rates, which puts the stability of the banking system at risk. The primary fo-cus of this study is on the risk management of banking systems following the outbreak of COVID-19 and identifying Basel III's implications on the function of banking crisis preven-tion. Examining both the interior and exterior banking risk supervision in European and the U.S., it can be seen why the bank insolvency incidents have not affected the global financial systems as the 2008-2009 financial crisis did. This paper demonstrates the different risks of commercial banks and summarizes the problems in risk management of commercial banks through the bankruptcy cases of Silicon Valley Bank and Credit Suisse Bank.

Subprime Crisis: Causes & Consequences
Authors: Zhou Yanshuyao
Published: November 2023

The 2007-2009 financial crisis, considered the worst crisis in human history since the Great Depression of the 1930s was not expected to end the period of the Great Moderation when financial and economic stability lasted from the mid-1980s to 2007. Although more than a decade has passed since the crisis, the analysis of the causes and consequences of the 2007-2009 financial crisis remains relevant for today's global economy, which is affected by both COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine. The crisis came as a surprise to almost everyone, but its roots were already in the U.S. financial system a decade ago. The explosion of the housing market in the United States at the beginning of the 21st century attracted a large number of banks and financial institutions to invest. The immediate cause of the financial crisis was the Federal Reserve's monetary policy, inflation in subprime mortgages, and the abuse of credit default swaps. The financial crisis also triggered a large number of banks to go bankrupt due to insolvency or default, and after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the US government had to use a large number of emergency funds to bail out the market. These bailouts largely saved these too-big-to-fail companies and had no significant effect on the years of high unemployment.

Authors: Zhen Cheng
Published: November 2023

In recent years, with the deepening of economic globalization, the trade between China and African countries has become increasingly close. The trade between China and Africa has brought economic growth to China and African countries, consolidated the friendly relations between the two sides, and also led to some frictions and disputes. The economic and trade cooperation between China and African countries began as early as around the 1950s. On May 30,1956, Egypt and China established diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level. It was the first country in Africa to establish diplomatic relations with China, opening a new chapter in China-Africa relations. Since then, China has maintained increasingly close ties with African countries and has established diplomatic relations with more African countries. On this basis, China and African countries have also gradually started economic and trade cooperation. China has helped many African countries to carry out infrastructure construction, promoted the economic development of African countries, and also helped them to enhance their international status to a certain extent. The economic and trade relations between China and East African countries are generally improving, but there are still many problems and instability. Only by carrying out trade in the right way can the friendly relations between China and African countries be maintained.
Unemployment in the United StatesEconomic Inequality in the Context of Industrial-technological Upgrading and Outsourcing in the United States Since the 1990s
Authors: Wang Shuhui
Published: November 2023

There is significant concern that industrial-technological upgrading and outsourcing in the United States have led to increased economic inequality since the 1990s. In the fourth Industrial Revolution, computerization, automation, and artificial intelligence allowed American companies to preserve their technological core competencies and outsource non-core activities to foreign countries. This paper aims to provide the classical vocabulary on this topic, an analysis of the U.S.s industrial-technological upgrading and outsourcing circumstances, and an explanation of their influence on the widening economic gap since the 1990s. This paper found that the three trends share a synchronous and reinforcing relationship, which can find support in Bruno Latours actor-network theory. Businesses that engaged in outsourcing activities benefited financially. While low-skilled and high-skilled workers are both at risk of losing their jobs because of improved technology, the former is more vulnerable. Industrial-technological upgrading facilitates outsourcing, and outsourcing facilitates the former in return. They both contribute to a widening economic gap. This paper was written when many questions arose on the subject. It connects industrial-technological upgrading with outsourcing, which previous research failed to do.

Authors: Zheng Sijia
Published: November 2023

Nowadays, Internet consumption has become a familiar name, and there are more and more feedback channels on the production experience of consumers, and the content of evaluation also determines consumers' views on the goods to a certain extent. Therefore, the rational use of online comment contents can not only help consumers understand the basic information of products, but also help enterprises to better obtain the needs of consumers and provide more references for them. This paper selects the comment data of the Palace restaurant in Dianping software, and uses Python software to conduct data mining, emotion analysis, word frequency statistics and word cloud drawing. The conclusion shows that consumers have a positive emotional tendency towards the afternoon tea in the Palace Museum, with few negative comments. At the same time, consumers pay more attention to the dining location and food ingredients. Therefore, businesses can increase the improvement of dishes and environmental transformation through online reviews to better meet the needs of consumers. This research not only provides the basis for the evaluation of the business level, but also helps to enrich the consumer's understanding of the business.

Authors: Yan Zheng
Published: November 2023

As the largest black swan event in recent years, the COVID-19 has affected the development of the global economy. As the world's largest economy and one of the countries with the most severe epidemic, the United States has suffered a heavy economic blow. To promote economic recovery, the Federal Reserve has adopted a series of loose policies. This includes the most typical quantitative easing policy. Through literature research, this paper mainly analyzes the impact of the portfolio rebalancing channel in quantitative easing on the US economy. Quantitative easing policies can promote economic recovery to a certain extent, and the channel of portfolio rebalancing is also feasible in theory, but there are uncertainties in the factors affecting the economic environment. When solving the problem of high inflation caused by QE and active fiscal policy, it will have a negative impact on the current economy and enterprises. The government also needs to further consider the balance of economic development.

Alkylation of 3-allyl-5,5-dimethyl-2-thioxo-2,3,5,6-tetrahyd-robenzo[h]quinazo-line-4(1H)-one (thioxobenzoquinazoline) was alkylated in an alkaline medium with halides of various structures, resulting in the formation of 2-sulfanylsubstituted 3-allyl-5,5-dimethyl-5,6-dihydrobenzo[h]quinazolin-4(3H)-ones. The condensation of thioxobenzohquinazoline with hydrazine hydrate yielded 3-allyl-2-hydrazinyl-5,5-dimethyl-5,6-dihydroben-zo[h]quinazoline-4(3H)-one. However, analogous reactions with 2-ethanolamine and 3-propanolamine proceeded anomalously, resulting in the formation of 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)amino-5,5-dimethyl-5,6-dihydroben-zo[h]quinazoline-4(3H)-one and 2-(3-hydroxypropyl)amino-5,5-dimethyl-5,6-dihydro-benzo[h]quinazoline-4(3H)-one, respectively. Interaction of the mentioned thioxoben-zohquinazoline with benzylamine occurs through intramolecular cyclization, forming 6,6,10-trimethyl-9,10-dihydro-5H-benzo[h]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazoline-7(6H)-one. The antibacterial properties of the synthesized compounds were studied against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms. The research results revealed that the investigated compounds possess antibacterial activity.

The disk diffusion method for screening antibacterial activity was conducted with a concentration of 50 mg/mL. The activities of the extracts were determined by Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) assay using broth microdilution method at a concentration range of 2500 to 1.2 µg/mL against nine human pathogenic bacteria. The results showed that all tested extracts demonstrated antibacterial activitied at varying degrees on all pathogen bacteria strains used in this study. The n-hexane and ethyl acetate extracts from both plants were potent antibacterials with MIC values of 19-156 µg/mL against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Streptococcus mutans ATCC 25 175, Vibrio cholerae Inaba, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853. The present study also revealed that among the bacteria tested, S. mutans ATCC 25175 was the most susceptible to antibacterial properties of E. scaber Linn. and E. mollis Kunth., especially in ethyl acetate fractions (MIC 19 and 39 µg/mL, respectively).    The findings suggested that the leaves of both plants hold promise as sustainable bioresources for the development of antibacterial agents. Additionally, ethyl acetate and n-hexane extracts were found to be particularly effective for obtaining natural antibacterial agents from these plants. However, further optimization of the extraction process is needed.

Background and objectives: Hyperglycemia induces oxidative stress in diabetic patients by increasing reactive oxygen species production, which ultimately damage the cells and cause micro and macrovascular complications including diabetic nephropathy. Increased serum bilirubin level, within physiological range, can inhibit oxidative stress; thereby, preventing development of diabetic nephropathy. The aim of this study was to find out association between serum bilirubin and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in diabetic patients with or without chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Materials and method: Both male and female participants aged 30 to 60 years were enrolled in the study. Enrolled participants included healthy individuals (Group-1), diabetic patients without CKD (Group-2) and diabetic patients with CKD (Group-3). Clinical and biochemical parameters namely blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose (FBG), HbA1c, eGFR, serum bilirubin and spot urine ACR were measured by appropriate methods. Pearson’s correlation coefficient, ANOVA and multiple linear regression models were used to analyze the data.

Result: Total 189 respondents were enrolled in 3 study groups. Each group consisted of 63 cases. Of the 63 cases in Group-3, 49 and 14 belonged to CKD stage 3 and stage 4 respectively. The mean (± SD) serum bilirubin levels of healthy individuals, diabetic patients without CKD and diabetic patients with CKD were 0.66 ± 0.31, 0.64 ± 0.21, 0.46±0.18 mg/dL respectively. Mean serum bilirubin was significantly low (p<0.001) in diabetic patients with CKD compared to healthy and diabetics without CKD. A Stepwise multiple regression analysis using eGFR as an objective variable adjusted for risk factors as explanatory variables, showed that serum bilirubin (β=0.323, p<0.001) was significantly associated with eGFR, in addition to age, BMI, HbA1c and urinary ACR.

Conclusion: The study has demonstrated that low serum bilirubin level is associated with CKD in diabetic patients and it could be used as a simple marker for CKD in diabetics.
