Authors: Li Binghuan
Published: November 2023

Nowadays, quantitative finance has become a more and more mainstream research direction, and the origin model of quantitative finance is the capital asset pricing model (CAPM)created by William Sharp and others. This paper mainly studies the feasibility of CAPM model for the American market, in order to prove the universality and accuracy of CAPM model, and analyzes the relevant errors. The research object of this paper is 59 randomly selected listed companies in 11 industries in S&P500 index, and the regression is carried out by the ordinary least square method, and the goodness of fit is obtained, so as to prove its universality. The data comes from Yahoo Finance. Through data analysis, this paper believes that CAPM model is universal, but it has low adaptability for some special industries, so it is necessary to introduce more variable factors or carry out non-linear regression to improve the accuracy of its prediction.
Analysis of Chinas Birth Rate Prediction Based on Time Series
Authors: Wang Yifan
Published: November 2023

The birth rate in China has declined significantly since the last century, especially in recent years. Low fertility intentions and deferred childbirth were the main contributors to the drop in fertility. Nowadays, the aging problem has become more and more serious in our country. Therefore, raising the birth rate has become the top priority for the government and society. Our research modelled and predicted the fertility rate in China using R. We used the dataset from Health Nutrition and Population Statistics on Databank and selected the historical fertility rate data in China from 1964 to 2021. Firstly, we transformed these data to make the birth rate time series stationary. Then, we applied the ARIMA and the ETS models, respectively and chose the better model to forecast the short-term birth rate in China in the next five years. We found that the ARIMA model was more appropriate for predicting the short-term birth rate in China. As a result, we utilized the ARIMA(0,0,1) model for prediction. We calculated that the growth rate of the birth rate in China from 2022 to 2026 was - 0.117, which demonstrated that the fertility rate in China would decrease constantly at a rate of 0.117 each year over the ensuing five years. If the government of China still did not take any measures to improve the fertility problems, the fertility rate would further decline. Consequently, the fertility rate in China is facing an unprecedented crisis.

Authors: Fei Lancheng
Published: November 2023

The bubble burst, and the South Korean property market plummeted. Thousands of Koreans should not be able to afford their debts and choose to commit suicide. Prior to this, South Koreas real estate market soared rapidly, and no one noticed the abnormality and the future direction of the real estate market. That was a miracle, but it only lasted for a while, and one of the most important factors that accelerated its destruction was a rental system called Jeonse. The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact of Jeonse, a unique rental system, on the Korean real estate market. Housing prices in South Korea have soared amidst the global pandemic. By studying macroeconomics, the global capital chain, and policy-related factors that affect the market, it seems necessary for the government to understand the importance of controlling leverage and properly using quantitative easing. Those methods can theoretically prevent the economic crisis, slow down the creation of bubbles, or decrease the influence made by the contagions it creates.

Comparative Study on the Low Birth Rate Process in China and Japan and the Impact on University Graduates Employment
Authors: Wang Mingwei
Published: November 2023

The low birth rate is a global phenomenon that cannot be overlooked, having profound implications for the socio-economic conditions of many nations and regions. The declining birth rates in China and Japan have been a significant part of the global discourse on this topic. This paper analyzes the impact of low birth rates on the employment of university graduates, encompassing both positive effects such as an increase in employment rates, and negative effects including a decrease in innovation and increased difficulties in promotions. The study observes that there is a roughly 15-year gap in the shifts in the low birth rate phenomenon and the employment conditions of university graduates between China and Japan. The differences between the two nations mainly manifest in the timeframe and pace of the declining birth rates and the associated time lags. A commonality is that the fundamental cause for the low birth rate in both countries is the high cost of child-rearing. Lastly, the paper proposes suggestions for the Chinese government and university graduates, drawing upon the countermeasures and experiences of Japan. These suggestions helps enhance the employment competitiveness of university graduates and promote sustainable economic and social development, offering valuable references for both governments and university students.

Isaac Potter's 1722 Engine House in Königsberg/Nová Baňa: evidence and archaeology
Authors: Konečný Peter , Styk Matej
Published: November 2023

The aim of this paper is to elaborate on the historical background of this eminent historical mining site in Central Europe and then present and analyse the key findings from our excavations of Isaac Potter’s engine house. Despite its notoriety in international historiography and some older detailed studies on Potter by Slovak historians, no efforts were made to locate and excavate the engine site and its associated Althandel shaft in Nová Baňa in Central Slovakia. The archaeological excavation was initiated as a project of a mining museum in the municipality of Nová Baňa. Its aim was to confirm the location of the Althandel shaft, and any building remains of the related atmospheric pumping engine. Based on three years of archaeological and historical research, it was possible to document the existence of the engine house and connect it to the activities of Isaac Potter in Nová Baňa.
The Boulton and Watt winding engine for the Duke of Devonshire's Ecton copper mine, Staffordshire 1787-1790
Authors: Whitehead William Kay
Published: November 2023

In 1787, the depth of Ecton mine was such that it became too slow and difficult to extract the ore using horse whims. This paper is presented as a diary of the design and construction of a rotative steam engine to replace these whims. Boulton and Watt had installed two such engines in Cornwall, using a new method of balancing (equalising) the winding ropes. The technical difficulties caused by the position of the mine-shaft, high on the steep sides of Ecton Hill meant that it took a year to design and build the engine. Finding someone to produce tapered ropes was also a challenge, as indeed is still the case in the 21st Century.
The Chester Boulton and Watt steam mill of 1785: discovery and archaeology, 2002-2005
Authors: Hodrien Chris
Published: November 2023

The world's first successful public-access steam flour mill was at Chester in 1785, only three years after the Watt rotative engine patent and three years before the famous ‘lap’ engine on show in the Science Museum was built. It was powered by a 14hp Boulton and Watt rotative beam engine. It has been wrongfully universally overshadowed in both steam power and milling history books by the later, larger, Albion Mill in London, which actually started two months later. The Chester mill later expanded into a very large complex of 4-7 storey buildings, which eventually became disused in the 1950s. In 2002 an opportunity for recording and archaeology occurred when the remaining buildings were converted into apartments and the bottom of the original Watt 1785 engine house was uncovered.
The Wills Founder water-pressure engine from Winster, Derbyshire
Authors: Willies Lynn
Published: November 2023

The recovery of the Wills Founder water-pressure engine and its pumps, and their subsequent re-erection in the Peak District Mining Museum provided a unique opportunity to handle and study a complete example of this mid-19th century mine pumping technology. A substantial amount of photography was undertaken at the time, some in near impossible conditions in the 1970s. The historical background of the Winster area, and the occurrence of other hydraulic engines at nearby Alport is briefly noted. The components of the system and their purpose are described in some detail, although several vital parts are missing. It is possible that it was never used in practice due to technical difficulties, and the work abandoned as costs rose at a time of falling lead prices in the 1850s. Passage of time allows for a re-appraisal of the installation and the engineer’s original intentions.

Conceptual framework and language for sustainability politics
Authors: Söderbaum Peter
Published: November 2023

Where do politicians and other actors get their ideas about economics and efficiency? While there are many relevant sources, economics education has a significant role. However, the kind of economics presented in a university context is limited to one paradigm, neoclassical theory. While this paradigm is mainly compatible with the present political-economic system and is therefore legitimate, it is failing to confront the challenges faced by society. One such urgent challenge is global sustainable development. In this article, ecological economics as a conceptual framework and language is presented and compared with the conceptual framework of neoclassical theory and method. This is achieved within a perspective of pluralism where ‘paradigm-coexistence’ is a central element.

Effective Engineering Noise Control Strategies with the Stochastic Noise Mapping Simulation Method: A Case Study in Palm Oil Mill
Authors: Tan Lee Hang , Lee Yee Ling , Lim Ming Han , Tan Ooi Kuan
Published: November 2023

Excessive sound levels pose a substantial risk to the hearing health of industrial workers. This study introduces a stochastic noise mapping technique to propose effective engineering control methods for noise mitigation in the palm oil industry. A case study conducted in a Malaysian palm oil mill employed data to predict the noise mapping and assess personal noise exposure levels of workers. Results showed that 29.6% of the area fell within the high-risk zone, with 28.1% in the extremely high-risk zone. Personal noise monitoring revealed that many workers were exposed to excessive noise, with a maximum time-weighted average sound level of 99.2 dBA among the worker groups. Despite the provision of protective equipment by management, regular usage of hearing protectors during work shifts was lacking. To reduce noise levels, two engineering control methods were proposed: erecting noise barriers around high noise emission sources and limiting the maximum sound power to 110 dBA for dynamic noise sources. Implementing these controls resulted in a 10.9% decrease in the extremely high-risk zone and a 17.8% decrease in the high-risk zone. These findings hold significance as they can guide the implementation of noise monitoring practices and engineering noise control in the industry.

Les différents professionnels qui les encadrent font eux aussi un travail complémentaire sur la peine de soi.
La tendance à la normalisation dans les traductions italiennes de l’incipit de L’Étranger
Authors: Sanseverino Giulio
Published: November 2023

Cet article s’attache à dégager les problématiques posées par les deux traductions italiennes (A. Zevi, 1947 ; S. C. Perroni, 2015) de l’incipit de L’Étranger (1942) d’A. Camus. À partir d’une analyse stylistique des paragraphes d’ouverture du roman, en passant par une étude contrastive des solutions traductives en italien, l’article met en évidence la position délicate des traducteurs face à un texte dont la construction est à la fois stylistiquement complexe et apparemment élémentaire, exigeant donc bien plus qu’un simple recodage linguistique. L’exploration même d’un si court extrait textuel révèle, en effet, la présence notamment de trois « tendances déformantes » de la traduction (Berman, 1991), qui minent la transmission de l’étrangeté du narrateur-protagoniste dans les versions italiennes par rapport au texte original.
La cartographie interactive au service de la valorisation de l’identité du territoire
Authors: Chibane Douniazed , Boulekbache Hafida
Published: November 2023

Les outils de webmapping permettant la mise en place de cartes interactives en ligne ne cessent de se développer et prennent de plus en plus de place dans la restitution des expériences de territoires. Pour informer, communiquer ou raconter l’histoire des lieux, les cartes interactives apparaissent comme un moyen intéressant à la restitution et à la géolocalisation des données récoltées sur un territoire, mais aussi à la médiation de son patrimoine. Accessibles à un large public, ces cartes, une fois créées, peuvent être enrichies par différents types de données : textuelles, photographiques… et partagés en ligne. Dans ce contexte, nous présentons une expérience en cours dans le cadre du projet Interreg RHS. Valoriser l’identité de ce territoire soulève, ici, le défi de faire apparaitre la parole des habitants dans la co-conception d’un outil de valorisation de cette identité. Comment ces données sensibles sont-elles donc valorisées ? La réponse à cette question est illustrée à travers des cartes qui révèlent des lieux symboliques identifiés par les habitants et auxquels sont attribuées des valeurs affectives. La méthode est qualitative et s’appuie sur un processus de travail avec les habitants, basé sur les marches urbaines commentées et les « cartes sensibles » inspirées des pratiques psychogéographiques.
Extension Mechanism of Overlay Network Protocol to Support Digital Authenticates
Authors: Matama Kazushige , Goto Ren , Nishiwaki Chihiro , Naito Katsuhiro
Published: November 2023

Zero-trust security is a new security model that has recently received much attention. Since the model protects all resources, continuous authentication and authorization of resources are mandatory. Many enterprises currently use cloud systems to manage their resources and provide service. On the other hand, IoT systems typically require cooperation service among IoT devices. As a solution for redundant routes and load on the cloud, a peer-to-peer type system is a good candidate. On the contrary, it requires zero-trust security because each device should guarantee security. Since the authors have proposed and developed CYber PHysical Overlay Network over Internet Communication (CYPHONIC) as a fundamental technology to realize zero-trust security, this paper introduces Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) into CYPHONIC. It proposes an extended device authentication scheme and a key exchange mechanism using digital certificates. According to the PKI mechanism, a certification authority authenticates the system and its authenticity of system, allowing communication with the correct communication partners. The proposed extension performs mutual authentication with digital certificates at the start of communication and secure encryption key exchange for communication between endpoints. We develop the proof of concept of the proposed scheme to confirm the adequacy of the extended mechanisms.
Neoliberalism in Websites of Schools of Education and Teacher Education Programs: Comparison between Canadian and American Public Universities
Authors: Yosef-Hassidim Doron , Sharma Manu
Published: November 2023

This study analyzes websites of university-based Schools of Education and Teacher Education Programs, and points to the (intentional or unintentional) active role these institutions play in maintaining and supporting neoliberal ideology. The study uses a qualitative method to examine websites of 30 public universities, 15 American and 15 Canadian. Using a grounded theory approach, five neoliberal-related features are identified: marketing, business terminology, employability, economic orientation, and outcome-based approach. The latter two features were found only in the American websites. The paper discusses implications for each of the features, as well as for the differences between American and Canadian institutions. Teacher educators are encouraged to take the findings seriously as there is a concern that neoliberal trends and practices will continue to seep more deeply into Teacher Education Programs. Cette étude analyse les sites Web de programmes universitaires de formation des enseignants et fait ressortir le rôle actif (intentionnel ou non) que jouent ces institutions dans le maintien et l’appui du néolibéralisme. L’étude emploie une méthode qualitative pour examiner les sites Web de 30 universités publiques, dont 15 américaines et 15 canadiennes. Une approche théorique à base empirique a permis d’identifier cinq éléments liés au néolibéralisme : le marketing, le vocabulaire commercial, l’employabilité, l’orientation économique et une approche axée sur les résultats. Les deux derniers éléments étaient présents seulement dans les sites Web américains. L’article discute des retombées de chacun des éléments et évoque les différences entre les institutions américaines et canadiennes. On encourage les formateurs d’enseignants de prendre ces résultats au sérieux car on craint que les tendances et les pratiques néolibérales continueront à s’infiltrer de plus en plus dans les programmes de formation des enseignants. Mots clés: établissements de formation, programmes de formation des enseignants, sites Web, marketing

Beyond presentation effects: Understanding the role of language by hand in the holistic rating of young students’ writing in Grade 4
Authors: Roessingh Hetty , Nordstokke David , Colp Mitch
Published: November 2023

The goal of this study is to glean research insights into the role of handwriting on the holistic rating of young students’ expository writing samples in Grade 4. We focus on the interaction of compositional fluency—the total number of words (TNW) generated, the quality of the handwriting, the style of handwriting, and the holistic rating of writing outcomes on an expository prompt. We observed a relationship between fluency, quality of handwriting, and holistic rating of the writing samples, suggesting the need for sustained instructional attention to handwriting to achieve academic literacy in Grade 4. More than merely “looking pretty on the page,” the quality of the handwriting is reflective of the neuro-motor control required to develop fluency or productivity for the academic requirements of upper elementary writing tasks. Samples of Grade 4 handwriting are provided to illustrate and support the quantitative findings of this inquiry. L’objectif de cette étude est d’obtenir un aperçu du rôle de l’écriture dans l’évaluation globale de récits par de jeunes élèves en 4e année. Nous nous penchons sur la fluidité du texte—le nombre total de mots rédigés, la qualité de l’écriture, le style de l’écriture et l’évaluation globale du récit sur un sujet donné. Nous avons noté un lien entre la fluidité, la qualité de l’écriture et l’évaluation globale des récits, ce qui suggère le besoin d’une attention pédagogique soutenue à l’écriture, de sorte à ce que les élèves atteignent une littératie académique en 4e année. La valeur d’une belle écriture dépasse le sens esthétique : la qualité de l’écriture reflète la régulation neuromotrice nécessaire au développement de la fluidité et au rendement qu’exigent les travaux de rédaction dans les années scolaires subséquentes. Des échantillons de rédactions par les élèves en 4e année viennent illustrer et appuyer nos résultats quantitatifs. Mots clés : littératie écrite; écriture; fluidité textuelle; qualité du récit
Four Shades of Feedback: The Content of Feedback from Faculty Supervisor, Cooperating Teacher, Peers and Students in Practice Teaching and Its Effects on Self-Reflection and Self-Regulation
Authors: Takkaç Tulgar Ayşegül
Published: November 2023

This qualitative case study, grounded on self-reflection and self-regulation framework, investigated the content and scope of feedback provided by cooperating teachers, faculty supervisor, peers and students in the practicum school and the influence of feedback on preservice teachers’ self-reflection and regulation skills. The participants were 28 senior preservice teachers who attended Practice Teaching course. The data was collected through written feedback reports by the cooperating teacher, faculty supervisor, peers, and the students; it included reflection reports and the answers to open-ended questions by participants. The results of the content analysis revealed that the feedback by cooperating teacher, peers, and students centred on similar aspects. An evaluation of the performer’s behaviours, attitudes, and actions formed the what side, while the faculty supervisor provided feedback with more comprehensive content referring to the what, why and how aspects in the performance. The three types of feedback provided a chance for the participants to reflect-on-action, while the supervisor’s feedback indirectly promoted reflection-in-action. Key words: feedback; teaching practice; self-reflection; self-regulation Cette étude qualitative de cas, axée sur un cadre d’autoréflexion et d’autorégulation, se penche sur le contenu et la portée de la rétroaction fournie par des enseignants coopérants, des pairs, des élèves et un superviseur de la faculté à l’école de stages, d’une part, et de l’influence de cette rétroaction sur les capacités d’autoréflexion et d’autorégulation des stagiaires, d’autre part. Les participants regroupaient 28 stagiaires seniors inscrits au cours de pratique de l’enseignement. Les données ont été recueillies par la lecture de rapports écrits constituant la rétroaction par les enseignants coopérants, le superviseur de la faculté, les pairs et les élèves. Les données comprenaient également des rapports d’introspection et des réponses à des questions ouvertes par les participants. Les résultats de l’analyse de contenu révèlent que la rétroaction de la part des enseignants coopérants, des pairs et des élèves portait sur des aspects similaires. L’évaluation des comportements, attitudes et actions des stagiaires répondait à la question du quoi alors que la rétroaction de la part du superviseur de la faculté répondait de façon plus globale au quoi, qui et comment du rendement des stagiaires. Le premier type de rétroaction offrait aux stagiaires l’occasion de réfléchir sur leur sur leur pratique d’enseignement alors que celle du superviseur leur donnait indirectement la possibilité de réfléchir pendant qu’ils pratiquaient l’enseignement.

Authors: Dionne Liliane , Couture Christine , Savoie-Zajc Lorraine , Petringa Natascia
Published: November 2023

The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC)-funded Tableau ST project involved two years of collaborative fieldwork with 19 francophone teachers and resulted in a repertoire of 53 effective science lessons and projects. To disseminate these resources, we designed an innovative, free-access website (http://www.tableaust.ca) that provides ready-to-use lessons to elementary francophone teachers seeking to improve their teaching. For teachers, the website offers valuable and empowering tools to educate the science-literate citizens of the future. For scholars, the project, inspired by the Heart-Hands-Head model, sheds new light on the definition of what constitutes effective science-teaching practices. The collaboration with the teachers has also led to identifying three new criteria for effective practices. Résumé Le projet Tableau ST, relié au site http://www.tableaust.ca, est né d’une recherche participative qui a réuni chercheures et enseignants francophones pendant 2 ans, dans le but de disséminer plus d’une cinquantaine de pratiques gagnantes en sciences à l’élémentaire. Plusieurs critères contribuent à identifier les pratiques efficaces et parmi eux, l’apprentissage actif, le questionnement et le partage et la confrontation des preuves témoignent de la réflexivité des enseignants sur leurs pratiques en classe. Les critères gagnants agencés selon le modèle conceptuel Cœur-Mains-Tête pourront éventuellement servir à guider la pratique enseignante, mais aussi la formation des enseignants en didactique des sciences.

BUSINESS MANAGEMENT EDUCATION ON Entrepreneurial success descriptive research study
Authors: JyothiSreedhar Ch
Published: November 2023

University business management students graduate with essential professional skills and excellent knowledge about the business world. Management is a procedure that an enterprise uses to organize and direct workflow, operations, and workers to achieve company objectives. Management's fundamental objective is to create an environment that allows workers to perform efficiently and productively. Management is directing, coordinating, and leading tasks to attain objectives. This study focuses mainly on the impact of Business management education on entrepreneurial success. By observing 150 people, a questionnaire was given to 137, and information was collected from 125 people. The sample size is 125. Random Sampling Method used to collect primary data. To analyze the data JASP and MS EXCELL tools are used. From the analysis of the study, the researcher finds that an MBA degree is affecting more than Entrepreneurial success.

İndometazin İle İndüklenerek Oluşturulan Gastrik Ülsere Karşı Propolisin Etkinliğinin Belirlenmesi
Authors: KORKMAZ Serap , TABUR Zafer
Published: November 2023

İndometazin; indol türevi, non-steroid antienflamatuvar bir ajan olan paraklorobenzoil-metoksi-metilindol-asetik asidin genelde kullanılan ismidir. İndometazin’in antienflamatuvar

etkilerinin yanı sıra, analjezik ve antipiretik etkileri de bulunan kimyasal bir ajan olarak kabul edilmektedir. İndometazin’in olumlu etkileri dikkate alındığında; küçük hücreli olmayan akciğer kanserinin büyümesini baskıladığı, insanlarda meme kanser hücresinin metastaz ve invazyonunu azalttığını söylemek mümkündür. İmmün cevabı geliştirmesinin yanı sıra, apoptotik hücre ölümünü artırdığı yapılan bilimsel çalışmalarla tespit edilmiştir. Son yıllarda özellikle, korona virüs replikasyonunu inhibe etmede, İndometazin’in etkili olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca, İndometazin hiperbarik oksijenasyonda görülen konvülsiyonları hafifletir ve hiperemi oluşumunu önlemektedir.

İndometazin’in olumsuz etkileri ele alındığında, bu kimyasal ajanın yanlış dozlanması sonucunda en yaygın olarak gözlenen yan etkisi mide ülseri şeklinde kendini göstermektir. İndometazin’in anti-enflamatuvar etkisinden COX–2, gastrointestinal toksik etkilerinden ise COX–1 enzim inhibisyonu sorumlu tutulmaktadır. İndometazin hem COX–1 hem de COX–2 enzimlerini inhibe ederek, prostaglandin sentezini güçlü bir şekilde engeller. Bu nedenledir ki indometazinin ülser oluşturma oranı diğer nonsteroid antienflamatuvar ilaçlara göre çok daha yüksek olduğundan, deneysel ülser modeli oluşturmak amacı ile daha çok tercih edilmektedir. Oluşturulan bu mide ülseri modelleri tedavisinde kimyasalın yanı sıra bitkisel ve hayvansal ürünlerde yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır.

“Tıbbi bitkilerin ve hayvansal ürünlerin canlı sistemler üzerinde; sedatif, analjezik, antipiretik, antiülseratif, kardiyoprotektif, antibakteriyel, antifungal ve antiviral gibi birçok etkisi çalışmalarla ortaya konulmuştur.” Bitkiler, serbest radikalleri nötralize ederek, oksidatif stres ve reaktif oksijen türleri ile bağlantılı birçok kronik hastalığın ilerlemesini önlemektedir. Propolisin anti-bakteriyal, anti-fungal ve anti-ülseratif etkilerinden yaygın olarak faydalanıldığı göze alındığında mide ülseri üzerine de düzenli tüketimle olumlu etkileri olabileceği düşünülmektedir.

Bu çalışma ile Propolis’in mide ülseri üzerindeki etkileri teorik olarak ele alınarak ilgili literatüre katkı sağlanması hedeflenmektedir.

Volatility Forecasting of Crude Oil Market: Which Structural Change Based GARCH Models have Better Performance?
Authors: Zhang Yue-Jun , Zhang Han
Published: November 2023

GARCH-type models have been widely used for forecasting crude oil price volatility, but often ignore the structural changes of time series, which may lead to spurious volatility persistence. Therefore, this paper focuses on the smooth and sharp structural changes in crude oil price volatility, i.e., smooth shift and regime switching, respectively, and investigates which structural change based GARCH models have better performance for forecasting crude oil price volatility. The empirical results indicate that, first, the flexible Fourier form (FFF) GARCH-type models considering smooth shift can accurately model structural changes and yield superior fitting and forecasting performance to traditional GARCH-type models. Second, the Markov regime switching (MRS) GARCH model incorporating regime switching exhibits superior fitting performance compared to the single-regime GARCH-type models, but it does not necessarily beat the counterparts for forecasting. Finally, the FFF-GARCH-type models outperform MRS-GARCH for forecasting crude oil price volatility and portfolio performance.
