Financial Development and Extreme Capital Flows: Uncovering Resilience
Authors: Liu Siyuan , Kanjanapathy Malini , Li Xi
Published: June 2024

This paper examines the impact of financial developments on extreme international capital inflow events by analyzing annual data for 29 economies from 2000 to 2020. By building on previous research, it reveals a subtle relationship: while financial development has greatly reduced the frequency of sudden stops in capital flows, it has simultaneously increased the likelihood that capital flows will surge. This paper uses the generalized method of Moments (GMM) model to investigate the dual role of financial development in managing extreme capital flow events. Specifically, it clarifies how financial developments can act as a "push and pull" against the potentially destabilizing effects of these events, thereby promoting a more sustainable path to economic growth and strengthening financial stability in the global economy. The study not only sheds light on the complex dynamics between financial development and capital flows, but also provides insights for formulating policies that can mitigate the adverse effects of financial development while maximizing its benefits..

Authors: Guo Zichu
Published: June 2024

The Nasdaq Composite is one of the world's most watched stock indices and assumes an important role in the global financing trading process. Forecasting of stocks has always been the focus of scholars' research, but due to factors such as market sentiment fluctuations, it is difficult to obtain effective forecasting results using a macro approach. With the help of technological development, data has become more accessible. Scholars have started using statistical models to make predictions on stock prices. This study uses autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) prediction model to forecast the Nasdaq composite index. After parametric statistics, fitting and residual tests, it was determined that the ARIMA (2,1,2) model produced the most accurate predictions. The results of this study enriched the prediction results of the relevant Nasdaq Composite Index for the ARIMA model, broadened the field of application of the ARIMA model, and provided investors with investment strategy references.

Authors: Cohen Shai , Mompelat Ludovic , Mann April , Connors Logan
Published: June 2024

The landscape of language education is undergoing a pivotal transformation, spurred by the integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen-AI) into every facet of traditional and new methodologies and practices. Given the rapid societal adoption of AI, we believe that all language instructors – from the most technologically savvy to the most tech-averse – must engage critically and ethically with AI. To ensure that AI tools are brought into language education in pedagogically appropriate and ethical ways, we have developed two large projects at our university:  1) an AI Working Group in our Modern Languages Department and 2) a chatbot that all instructors can incorporate into their classroom practices. In this article, we describe the rationale for these projects and the steps we took to implement them. We hope that this work can help other departments come together to address the challenges and achieve a balance between technological advancement and the intrinsically human facets of language education.

Authors: Herzog David J. , Herzog Nitsa J.
Published: June 2024

Industrial Revolution 4.0 transforms healthcare systems. The first three technological revolutions changed the relationship between human and machine interaction due to the exponential growth of the number of machines. The fourth revolution has placed humans in a scenario where heterogeneous data is generated in unprecedented quantity and quality, not only through traditional methods enhanced by digitization, but also through ubiquitous computing, machine-to-machine interactions, and smart environment. The modern cyber-physical space underlines the role of humans in the expanding context of computerization and big data processing. In healthcare, where data collection and analysis particularly depend on human efforts, the disruptive nature of these developments is evident. Adaptation to this process requires deep scrutiny of the trends and recognition of future medical data technologies` evolution. Significant difficulties arise from discrepancies in requirements by healthcare, administrative and technology stakeholders. Black box and grey box decisions made in medical imaging and diagnostic Decision Support Software are often not transparent enough for the professional, social and medico-legal requirements. While Explainable AI proposes a partial solution for AI applications in medicine, the approach has to be wider and multiplex. LLM potential and limitations are also discussed. This paper lists the most significant issues in these topics and describes possible solutions.

Authors: Thi-Hong-Huong Ngo  , Minh-Tam Nguyen  , Vinh-Quan Nguyen
Published: June 2024

This paper presents an improved method of direct torque control (DTC) for three–phase asynchronous motors with squirrel cage rotors. The improved method of DTC uses three sliding mode controllers to control torque and flux independently. From simulation and experimentation in real time RT, using Sim Power Systems of matlab-simulink through RT-LAB compiler, hardware simulation algorithm in HIL- Hardware-in-the-Loop by OPAL-RT device for the three-phase asynchronous induction motor, this is the new algorithm presented in the article. The three-phase asynchronous induction motor 1-hp, 150 rad/s with a three-phase three-level cascade inverter, the results show the estimated speed and the good tracking speed according to the value set at a frequency varying from the lowest 3 rad/s to the highest 150 rad/s, and the system remains stable when the stator and rotor resistance changes up to 1.5 times the initial value in the presence of noise. Simulation during execution, so simulation results and experimental results are very consistent. On the other hand, using a multi-level inverter with the new PM modulation algorithm increases the system's sustainability compared to the two-level inverter used in previously published articles. The results also show that using a sliding surface with a nonlinear function that has been proven to be Lyapunov stable significantly reduces the moment chattering phenomenon compared to previous algorithms using DTC control.

Role of cytokines in the control of inflammation: a review
Authors: Mishra Aditya
Published: June 2024

Cytokines are small secreted proteins released by cells have a specific effect on the interactions and communications between cells. Cytokine is a general name; other names include lymphokine (cytokines made by lymphocytes), monokine (cytokines made by monocytes), chemokine (cytokines with chemotactic activities), and interleukin (cytokines made by one leukocyte and acting on other leukocytes). Cytokines may act on the cells that secrete them (autocrine action), on nearby cells (paracrine action), or in some instances on distant cells (endocrine action). There are both pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines. There is significant evidence showing that certain cytokines/chemokines are involved in not only the initiation but also the persistence of pathologic pain by directly activating nociceptive sensory neurons. Certain inflammatory cytokines are also involved in nerve-injury/inflammation-induced central sensitization, and are related to the development of contralateral hyperalgesia/allodynia. The discussion presented in this chapter describes several key pro-inflammatory cytokines/chemokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines, their relation with pathological pain in animals and human patients, and possible underlying mechanisms.
Menata Ulang Kebijakan Penggunaan Politik Identitas Era Demokrasi dalam Perspektif Hukum
Authors: Wirawan Vani
Published: June 2024

Keberagaman di Indonesia telah menjadi penyebab utama terjadinya konflik sepanjang sejarah terutama pasca era demokrasi, seperti konflik antar agama, suku, ras, budaya, dan sebagainya. Konflik-konflik itu semakin berkembang bukan hanya sebagai konflik antara satu identitas, tetapi sudah masuk ke fase baru sebagai konflik antara beberapa identitas yang muaranya berbentuk politik identitas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kondisi politik identitas di Indonesia dan proses menata ulang penggunaan politik idenditas dalam perspektif hukum. Metode penulisan penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan konseptual. Hasil penelitian menujukkan bahwa problematik politik identitas era demokrasi ini melalui teori teori psikoanalisis yang menyatakan Kasus Cebong versus Kampret merupakan penekanan id dan ego kedua belah pihak yang egonya mengarah kepada id yang ebih kuat, yang memuculkan kecemasan, permusuhan dan kompetisi. Karena ego yang mengarah ke id terlalu besar, maka rasionalnya mulai tenggelam, sehingga terjadi terkotak kotaknya masyarakat. Sedangkan tawaran penataan ulang penggunaan politik indentitas dalam perspektif hukum berupa penekanan esensi dari politik identitas itu sendiri, berupa ujaran kebencian terkait suku, ras, dan agama yang tercanum dalam Pasal 280 ayat 1 UU Nomor 7 Tahun 2017 tentang Pemilu. Komisi II DPR harus mendorong Bawaslu dan para penegak hukum untuk secara tegas menindak pelanggaran-pelanggaran dalam pemilu yang bersifat ujaran kebencian dan perlu mempertimbangkan untuk menyempurnakan atau melengkapi UU Pemilu tentang pemaknaan politik identitas secara tegas.

NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF FRP CONFINED RC SQUARE AND CIRCULAR COLUMNS UNDER CONCENTRIC COMPRESSION LOAD
Authors: PATEL MAYANK , Anant Parghi  , M. H. Lunagaria
Published: June 2024

In this study, the behavior of square and circular reinforced concrete (RC) columns confined with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites were compared using the finite element model (FEM) under axial compressive load. The different parameters are considered as the type of FRP confinement such as carbon and glass, grade of concrete, and aspect ratios of the columns. The verified model was used to study the different parameters to investigate the different geometric and materials properties on the axial capacity of the columns. The results revealed a significant increase in the strength and ductility of both the square and circular columns due to FRP confinement. The carbon FRP was slightly more effective in enhancing column strength due to their higher modulus of elasticity compared to the glass FRP. The study also found that higher grades of concrete and lower aspect ratios led to higher strength and ductility in confined columns. Overall, the study suggests that the use of FRP composites for the confinement of RC columns is a viable method for enhancing their strength and ductility. These findings can be valuable for designing and retrofitting RC columns with FRP composites in practical applications.

Authors: TATA Herbert
Published: June 2024

Gravity anomalies are used for the interpretation of the structures which are beneath the Earth. The availability of gravity anomalies at the early stage of exploration activities makes determining characteristics, forms and location properties beneath the Earth’s crust possible. Different GGMs have different accuracies due to factors such as differences in sources of data and the mode of their formulation. It is essential to know the efficiency of models over an area before being used for serious activity over the area. This research evaluated gravity anomaly derived from Global Gravity Models to determine the best-fit model over Akure City, Nigeria, by accessing ten gravitational models over twenty-three geodetic control points. Free-Air was the Gravity field model, calculated through the ten Global Gravity field Models over the study area. The computations of the anomalies were done at the International Centre for Global Earth Models (ICGEM). Terrestrial gravity anomaly data acquired was the standard against the ten model-based gravity anomalies using a coefficient of correlation and T-test to determine the best models over the area. Based on correlation analysis, SGG_UGM_2 has a value of 0.5995, and EGM2008 was 0.5973, respectively. The two models are the best fit for the study area. Based on the T-test for Free-Air anomaly data, EGM2008 and GECO have no significant difference from the terrestrial gravity models having P-values of 0.0393 mgal and 0.0146 mgal, respectively. This research, therefore, underscores the significance of adopting the best-fit model over the study area.
Futuristic prediction of the lagoon coast shorelines using spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery

The coast is an extremely dynamic ecosystem that is subject to anthropogenic factors and sea level rise. All of this heightens the worry because it combines the elements that produce storm surges and tropical storms, which raise the possibility of shoreline shift and subsequent coastal erosion. The coastal zone is a prime example of a crucial ecosystem that is also highly dynamic, with shorelines that grow and contract in response to human activity, storm surges, tropical cyclones, and sea level rise. The shoreline that characterizes erosion and deposition is constantly changing, but accurate monitoring and mapping of these changes are made necessary by the ecosystem’s economic viability. In this study, Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery was used to forecast the futuristic position of the Lagoon Barrier shoreline in Lagos state, Nigeria. The Digital Shoreline Analysis Software (DSAS) statistics of End Point Rate (EPR) and Linear Regression Rate (LRR) were used to examine the shoreline projection. The study’s findings demonstrated that shorelines movements can be monitored using Sentinel-1 SAR imagery owing to its characteristics that helps in distinguishing water from land. The shoreline projection indicated that general erosion would occur in this area at a rate of 1.45 meters per year. Communities in Ojogun, Okun-Ibese, Makoko, and Mobido are likely to be at risk from this erosion. With regard to the sustainable management of coastal zones, this research initiates a new endeavour for legislators and town planners.
