What Is It Like to Do Community-Engaged Research? Lessons Learned From University Researchers’ Perspectives
Authors: Holden Michael , McDermott Mairi , Brown Barbara , Friesen Sharon
Published: August 2022

Community-engaged research calls on us to rethink ourselves as researchers and to address lopsided researcher-researched relationships. As a group of university researchers, we participated in a research-practice partnership that included a research-intensive university, an internationally recognized professional learning network, a ministry of education funder, and a school district in Alberta, Canada. Despite the long-standing, collaborative relationships between these organizations, a spin-off research partnership slid into traditional research practices that limited the project’s potential. To critically reflect on these events, we engaged in eight cogenerative dialogues and three semistructured interviews to examine key moments in the partnership more closely. Our findings highlight how limitations in our fields of view as well as significant changes at crucial points in the partnership affected our ability to engage in sustained community-engaged research. We discuss critical learnings about this partnership in particular and offer recommendations that will help future research-practice partnerships assess and sustain their collaborations in meaningful ways.

Authors: Yang Jiongxuan
Published: August 2022

In the context of the socialist economic system in the new era, real estate tax has become the focus of attention from all walks of life. For a long time, China's real estate tax has been unbalanced in structure, the scope of collection is limited, and the initiative of local governments is insufficient, which has become a problem that needs to be solved in an all-round way to promote real estate tax. With the promotion of the pilot real estate tax in the two places, we can learn lessons from it to pave the way for the comprehensive promotion in the future, and at the same time, we can see that the real estate tax has a direct impact on the stability of local government revenue sources and the stability of real estate market prices, and also has important significance for the improvement of China's tax system and income redistribution.

Authors: Cui Haoyang
Published: August 2022

Ever since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the focus on investments in medical and pharmaceutical enterprises has risen prominently. Overall, it is expected that the stock market would be negatively impacted by the pandemic, while as it turned out, the development, production, and sale of COVID-19 vaccines have brought about nonnegligible increases in revenues and profits for vaccine producers such as Moderna, Pfizer, and Astra Zeneca. Therefore, in-pandemic investors for medical and pharmaceutical firms desire a comprehensive analysis that takes both the negative influence COVID-19 had on the stock market and the positive impacts the sale of COVID-19 vaccines had on the medical and pharmaceutical industry into account to help with investment decisions. This study chooses five main pharmaceutical and biomedical companies worldwide that have been producing COVID-19 vaccines, and applies Mean-Variance Model to construct optimal investment portfolios and portfolios with minimum variance for both the pre-pandemic period (from January 2019 to December 2019) and in-pandemic period (from January 2020 to April 2022) based on monthly stock prices of these five firms, and analyzes the resulting portfolios by evaluating the influence from both the COVID-19 pandemic and the sale of COVID-19 vaccines. This study shows that for most corporates chosen, the positive impact from the production and sale of COVID-19 vaccines outweighed the negative impact of the pandemic itself, and it suggests that the investors should invest in Astra Zeneca before the pandemic exploded and invest in Moderna after the outbreak of the pandemic.

Published: August 2022

The outbreak of Corona Virus Disease in 2019 (COVID-19) has had a severe and long-lasting impact worldwide, with unprecedented disruptions to the US stock market in particular. This paper collects global and US data throughout the outbreak and develops empirical models, including a VAR model and an ARMA-GARCH model, to examine the dynamic impact of COVID-19 on the US stock market. According to the findings, COVID-19 will induce market volatility in the short term, as evidenced by shocks from new confirmed cases causing future shocks in returns that are decreasing in magnitude. In the long term, however, COVID-19 will not cause volatility in the US equity market. Therefore, depending on the stage, it is beneficial for investors to adopt appropriate strategies and the US government must develop effective policies.

Authors: Xia Wanyi
Published: August 2022

Portfolio construction is increasingly prevalent in the business field and is becoming a popular concern in scientific research today. This study compares optimization effects in the renewable energy, pharmaceutical and home appliance industries of China’s A-Share Market. Mean-variance model and Sharpe ratio are implemented to ensure the expected returns and to reduce risks for portfolios at the same time. Under the assumption that there is no limitation on the short selling, it is found that market portfolio can produce higher risk-adjusted returns than the benchmark stocks in each industry. Furthermore, the optimization effects in the pharmaceutical industry were more significant than those in the renewable energy industry but less considerable than those in the household appliance industries. The main reason may be that the diversification and leverage effects perform differently in different industries. In addition, the methodologies and findings of the paper can help investors understand the optimization benefits more deeply and guide their construction of the market portfolios.

The Impact of Industry Context on Project Management Methodological Decisions
Authors: Du Yujia
Published: August 2022

Project management methodology (PMM) is an important part of today’s project management. Choosing the right PMM plays a key role in ensuring the successful implementation of the project. However, the current selection of PMM tends to focus more on the detailed characteristics of the project itself, and less on the macro evaluation from the perspective of the industry context. Therefore, this study attempts to study the adaptability of PMM to different industries from the perspective of the industry's characteristics. Through case analysis and comparing the characteristics and the relevant selection tendency of PMMs in different industries, this article discusses its influence on the selection of PMM from four perspectives. The conclusion that can be drawn is that the faster the technology update speed, the more immature the industry environment, the higher the risk level and the more time-oriented product landing requirements will prompt the industry to choose a flexible PMM that supports the output of phased deliverables. This article helps managers quickly narrow down the scope of PMM selection from the industry context before digging into the unique limitations and needs of the project itself.

How is Property Autonomy Possible? —— Take J Community in Hohhot as an Example
Authors: Han Zhe , Cao Jiayu
Published: August 2022

This study takes J Community in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia as the research object, analyzing the status and changes of property management mode in J Community since 2000. It is found that the residents' "quasi-administrative" property autonomy management mode has been formed in the transition from unit system to community system in J Community. The realization of the autonomy model involves residents, residents' representatives, service providers and other parties, which is more cost-saving than the social property model. Moreover, the semi-acquaintance-style structure of J Community based on the industry-oriented crowd is also easy to manage autonomously. However, the study also found that residents' representatives bear a considerable amount of responsibility, and the inclination of responsibility to residents' representatives reflects the defects of the existing autonomy model of J Community.

Meanwhile, It is necessary to improve regulatory capabilities and promote development of network mutual aid platforms by actively adopting innovative concepts such as regulatory technology and inclusive supervision.
An evaluation and analysis of the prospects of social movements based on changing the trajectory of neoliberal economic development
Authors: Chen Zhiwei
Published: August 2022

Although scholars have largely recognized social movements as a ‘failure’ to resist the market neoliberal globalized capitalism, the case of ‘Hennes&Mauritz AB (H&M) Boycott Event’ in Mainland China context rather illuminate a dynamic power relation between ‘elite’ and ‘grassroot’ agency and thus an increasing bargaining power for collective action to challenge the presence of transnational corporations and wider neoliberal globalization. Through an analysis of the 2021 Chinese consumer activism to boycott H&M company, this paper describes and examines the alternative power model in social activism in China today, arguing that a combination of top-down guidance and bottom-up autonomy through the mechanism of social media platform and ideology discourse construction could work best to resist the neoliberal globalization and its derived transnational corporations. Therefore, this thesis seeks to suggest a nuanced understanding between the dichotomy of ‘political authority’ and ‘broad society’ in social movement studies, of which the blurring boundaries between these two agencies in particular context may further generate a growing capacity to build a counter-hegemonic project to capitalism and globalization.

Automatically Correcting Noisy Labels for Improving Quality of Training Set in Domain-specific Sentiment Classification
Authors: Khamket Thananchai , Polpinij Jantima
Published: August 2022

Classification model performance can be degraded by label noise in the training set. The sentiment classification domain also struggles with this issue, whereby customer reviews can be mislabeled. Some customers give a rating score for a product or service that is inconsistent with the review content. If business owners are only interested in the overall rating picture that includes mislabeling, this can lead to erroneous business decisions. Therefore, this issue became the main challenge of this study. If we assume that customer reviews with noisy labels in the training data are validated and corrected before the learning process, then the training set can generate a predictive model that returns a better result for the sentiment analysis or classification process. Therefore, we proposed a mechanism, called polarity label analyzer, to improve the quality of a training set with noisy labels before the learning process. The proposed polarity label analyzer was used to assign the polarity class of each sentence in a customer review, and then polarity class of that customer review was concluded by voting. In our experiment, datasets were downloaded from TripAdvisor and two linguistic experts helped to assign the correct labels of customer reviews as the ground truth. Sentiment classifiers were developed using the k-NN, Logistic Regression, XGBoost, Linear SVM and CNN algorithms. After comparing the results of the sentiment classifiers without training set improvement and the results with training set improvement, our proposed method improved the average scores of F1 and accuracy by 20.59%.

Mathematical Model Of Motion Of Balls In A Planetary Mill: Theory And Experiment
Authors: Ostrikov Valery , Alsaadi Dar , Zabrodskaya Alla
Published: August 2022

Particle reduction in planetary mills is mainly due to impact and abrasion or shear. In our opinion, graphene nanostructures are formed most intensively when shear forces act on particles of graphite or graphite oxide. With regard to a planetary mill, shear effects on graphite particles are possible when the balls slide relative to each other, or when the balls slide relative to the inner surface of the drum. The most intense sliding of particles relative to each other occurs in the circulation mode of movement of the material in the cross section of a smooth rotating drum.
How Might Lamentations Be Read in the Light of Applying Winnicott’s Notion of a ‘Holding Environment’ to Reconcile the Internal Conflict of the Absent Comforter?
Authors: Evangelou Preston
Published: August 2022

This paper attempts to investigate how Lamentations, chapters 1 and 2, conveys the notion of the absent comforter in proximity to Zion, asserting that the Temple of Jerusalem served Zion as her transitional object by emitting the presence of YHWH, thereby hypothesising that Zion’s tragedy during the Babylonian occupation of Jerusalem in the sixth century BCE was due to the destruction of the Temple. This event prevented Zion from accessing her transitional object and it consequently prohibited interplay, which according to Donald Winnicott provides the essential activity for liberating and creating a sense of self. Thus, this paper proposes that the author of Lamentations expresses grief in the form of emotional catharsis in order to resolve the internal conflict of losing the presence of YHWH. By examining the text of Lamentations in the light of Winnicottian discourse, one might discover a methodology to resolve the internal conflict of the absent comforter. This can be achieved by applying a dynamic that resembles a holding environment to circumvent anxiety, as the function of a holding environment provides a setting that perpetuates the presence of a primary caregiver. Dialogue is demonstrated between Hebrew Scripture and Winnicottian analysis, as both of these worlds of discourse demonstrate value of attempting to access the presence of a caregiver by expressing emotional catharsis.
Dialogue in a Rapidly Changing World: Practitioner Assessments of the Potency of Intercultural Dialogue for Improving Social Cohesion
Authors: Hardy Mike , Hussain Serena
Published: August 2022

In 2008, the Council of Europe Ministers of Foreign Affairs set out a new framework for approaching ethno-religious diversity within member states. As a direct response to expressed concerns about the failure of multiculturalism, or at least of multicultural policies, Intercultural Dialogue was promoted as a better way of connecting communities. However, critics claim it is unclear how the approach differs from previous integration frameworks; furthermore, they argue that ICD contributes towards unequal platforms for exchange between minorities and the majority group and can reinforce exclusion. This paper examines such concerns by exploring practitioners’ understanding of the concept. Structured interviews were conducted with 52 delegates at the World Forum on Intercultural Dialogue held in Baku in 2015 These distinctive findings demonstrate that participants frequently discussed ICD interchangeably with other concepts and frameworks, most commonly multiculturalism and inter-faith dialogue, supporting claims that it has been difficult to define, even among practitioners attending a global summit on the topic. In addition, delegates from outside of Europe were more likely to highlight issues related to power imbalance when engaging with dialogue processes. The paper provides an important addition to empirically informed literature on both the conceptualisation and utility of ICD as a framework for engaging with diverse societies.
Neo-Populism: Applying Paul Taggart’s Heartland to the Italian Five Star Movement and League parties
Authors: Varriale Amedeo
Published: August 2022

In the early 2000s the British academic and expert in the field of populism, Paul Taggart, conceptualised the heartland – which he defined as ‘a version of the past that celebrates a hypothetical, uncomplicated and non-political territory of imagination.’ The idea is that populists envision this return to an almost utopic, laborious, morally pure, and culturally homogenous ‘place’ where professional political administration is not completely rejected but certainly kept at a minimum. Applying Taggart’s heartland to leaders and parties allows us to build on an efficient comprehension of specific uses of populist dialogue, as well as their general discursive styles and political narratives. Those who have capitalised on the current populist zeitgeist (a term Cas Mudde often uses), such as the American President Donald J. Trump, have mobilised masses by implicitly calling for a return to the heartland with slogans such as ‘Make America Great Again’. However, Trump is not the only politician who has discursively framed the concept of heartland in the twenty-first century. Interestingly, the heartland can also be applied to ‘right-wing’ national- populists and ‘left-wing’ techno-populists in Italy. The League, believes that with their involvement, their country can return to be a safer, more stable, hard-working, producerist society. Similarly, the Five Star Movement pressures the elites for a more virtuous, honest, and transparent way of doing politics through the digital web and direct democracy practices. Those values are the ones that shape their idea of heartland. This piece untangles the two distinct versions of heartland that exist within the forma mentis of the two Italian populist parties, compares them, and contrasts them in the hope of contributing to the already existing literature that has presented little evidence so far on how Taggart’s relevant concept can be identified in populist discourse, monologue, and ideology. Also, some advice is given on how to deal with the new populists worldwide in a way that involves dialogue that is both constructive and inclusive.
