Audit Quality Control and Financial Risk Prevention Strategies for CPAs under Multi-Objective Optimization Calculation Considering Sustainable Development Strategy
Authors: Du Zhengyuan , Zhao Gongmin , Peng Youyuan
Published: May 2024

Audit functions as the “guardian” of the capital market by overseeing economic activities and providing forensic analysis on the major projects and financial transactions of the entities it examines. The sustainability of auditing as a profession hinges critically on audit quality. This study aims to investigate the characteristics and elements that influence audit quality control, employing modern risk-oriented audit theory to formulate a financial audit risk assessment process. The research uses a multiple linear regression model to analyze factors affecting audit quality control among certified public accountants (CPAs). The model analyzes data from 513 A+H share listed companies, with parameters estimated using the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) method within an overall least squares framework. Furthermore, the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, a technique within the multi-objective optimization algorithm suite, is utilized to refine parameters in the manipulability Jones model. This adjustment is intended to better quantify the level of earnings management of the audited entities, thus enhancing the reflection of financial audit risks. Findings from the study reveal that the coefficient reflecting the impact of a CPA’s practice experience on audit quality control is 0.249. Additionally, it was observed that a 1% deterioration in the financial condition of an audited entity correlates with a 0.505% decrease in audit quality. For high-risk clients classified under ‘Special Treatment’ (ST), the range of practice years for CPAs is predominantly between 6 to 14 years, which may not fully meet the clients’ auditing needs. The study suggests that tailored audit surveys should be conducted for various client types prior to audit engagements. This strategic approach would enable better allocation of CPA resources, thereby enhancing audit quality control and the capability to mitigate financial audit risks.
Research on Image Recognition and Visual Design Based on Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Zhang Yi
Published: May 2024

In this paper, the color image is converted to a grayscale image in the image recognition preprocessing stage to accelerate the image recognition processing, and then the image contrast is enhanced by grayscale stretching to compute the grayscale layer covariance matrix and image texture features. Multi-step Markov clustering method is proposed to optimize the GCN, and the instance normalization layer and batch normalization layer are added to strengthen the source domain representation ability of the GCN to form a cross-domain image recognition algorithm based on a pairwise generalization network. Elaborate the visual design path of image information by artificial intelligence image recognition and image processing technology, introduce image recognition technology into the field of visual design, establish a visual design partition model, and completely extract the local feature information of computer image graphics. Use the dataset to evaluate the performance of pairwise generalization networks, and conduct simulation experiments to analyze the visual expression effects of visual design. The PGN-RM method, with the addition of maximum mean distance, instance normalization, and batch normalization, is able to achieve a performance average of 91.843. The peak signal-to-noise ratio of the actual effect image of the visual design of the product packaging is maintained in the range of [95.0312, 97.0032], which is an excellent visual design effect. Visual design that utilizes artificial intelligence graphic recognition technology can express design ideas more deeply and enhance the visual design’s attractiveness.
Fusion of multifactor modeling and supervised learning algorithms in quantitative finance: a comparative analysis of predictive and explanatory power
Authors: Li Yuqi
Published: May 2024

Finance serves as the lifeblood of the real economy’s development, fundamentally aimed at bolstering the real economy and mitigating financial risks. This paper investigates the application of machine learning technologies in finance, organizing a detailed classification and analysis of associated risks within the sector. Specifically, the study employs the Conditional Value at Risk (CoVaR) to quantify systemic financial risks. It introduces both the Fama-French three-factor and five-factor models for constructing multifactor financial models. It assesses the significance and regression coefficients of risk factors within these models to provide a comparative analysis. Moreover, this research develops an early warning model for financial risk by incorporating financial risk measurement indices into the XGBoost machine learning framework. It utilizes the SHAP (Shapley Additive exPlanations) explanatory framework to elucidate the key features influencing financial risk. This comprehensive approach not only enhances the understanding of financial risk dynamics but also advances the predictive capabilities of financial risk management. It was found that the modified R² increased from 36.52% to 56.25% after adding the IMU factor to the three-factor model, and the coefficient of SMB decreased from 0.135 to −0.215 the larger the size of the enterprise. The accuracy of the financial risk early warning model was 96.35%, and the probability of being predicted by the model to be a high-risk sample was lower when the value of the characteristic INDI was taken as [0,0.125]. Financial institutions can enhance their risk prevention ability by combining the financial risk factors obtained from the multifactor model with the supervised learning algorithm.
An Analysis of the Application of the Core Ideas of Functional Linguistics to English Teaching in Colleges and Universities
Authors: Wang Jinfeng
Published: May 2024

Traditional English teaching methods primarily involve the teacher explaining textual knowledge, often leading to inefficient use of classroom time. This study employs functional linguistics, visual grammar, discourse analysis, and interactive communication theories to analyze multimodal discourse in teacher-student interactions within college English classrooms. The study employs both quantitative and qualitative methods, using ELAN annotation software to manually annotate and analyze classroom teaching videos and lessons on a second-by-second basis across multiple modalities. The results indicate that modal distribution varies across different stages of English teaching, with verbal moderation prevailing and non-verbal moderation serving as a supplement. Verbal interactions show that teacher discourse constitutes 42% of total course time, 1.24 times more than student discourse. These findings offer data-driven insights for teachers to refine their strategies and boost interaction in college English classes.
Analysis of Railway Bridge Girder Installation and Construction Technology--Based on BIM Technology
Authors: Ke Long , Wan Ronghui
Published: May 2024

The emergence of BIM technology has caused changes in the field of construction, which is of great significance to improving the construction technology and management level of roads and bridges. In this paper, the overall framework of the railroad bridge BIM model is constructed by utilizing several BIM software to display its corresponding geometric construction information and line information. Based on the relevant information, construction simulation technology is combined with BIM technology to propose a lean management model for a railroad bridge construction site. Specifically, it first checks the mechanical properties of the bridge plate to ensure the safety of its installation, and then optimizes the progress of the construction phase under the constraints of the construction site, realizes the deviation warning, and ensures the optimal completion of the construction project. The results show that the paving layer connection structure has an optimal load transfer effect in the range of 0-502kN. However, cracking at the critical point of the pressure plate can result in plastic deformation before. At the same time, the vibration of the abutment plays an important role in the safety of the overall bridge structure, and the abutment height of the bridge should be controlled within 40M. By optimizing the construction schedule of beams and slabs, the contract period can be shortened by up to 19 days, and the expected cost can be reduced by 760,000 yuan. The research results accumulate methods for applying BIM technology in the installation and construction stages of railway bridge beams and slabs.

Authors: Chen Chengliang
Published: May 2024

The animation market is experiencing significant growth and diversification, with an expanding audience base and increasingly sophisticated aesthetic demands. This paper presents the development of a digital media art animation design system, leveraging four pivotal 3D technologies: mesh space deformation, 3D coordinate transformation, keyframe interpolation, and model collision detection. The system is enhanced with modules for scene editing, particle systems, and animation editing, which decompose the intricate special effects design of digital media art animations into manageable, editable components that offer real-time feedback. Furthermore, the system’s rendering capabilities and the animation design’s visual appeal were subjected to empirical evaluation. The findings indicate that within a 3D technology framework, the animation designs achieved average scores of 7.4371, 6.4720, and 7.0155 for recognizability, fidelity to the intended design, and overall impression, respectively, fulfilling the anticipated outcomes. Additionally, the animations produced are highly scalable and can be rendered swiftly and efficiently across diverse platforms. This study provides valuable insights for enhancing the effective deployment of 3D technologies in digital media art and animation design.

Authors: Deng Fukang , Chen Xiaofang
Published: May 2024

The accelerated application of emerging technologies in the financial field in the era of informationization has put forward brand-new challenges and requirements for the development of disciplines as well as the teaching mode of economics and management majors in colleges and universities. In this paper, the teaching resource base of economics and management majors is first constructed on the basis of the RNMIE model combined with cloud computing and other technologies. Then the theory of self-organizing behavior is introduced to build a three-dimensional informatization teaching platform for economics and management majors. On this basis, combined with the online learning teaching resources analysis model, the personalized recommendation method of hybrid recommendation is used to recommend matching resources for economics and management students. The learning satisfaction assessment model is constructed with the students’ learning satisfaction assessment system and structural equation model. Simulation tests and example analyses were conducted to recommend resources and ensure student satisfaction in the three-dimensional computer-based teaching platform for economics and management in colleges and universities. It is found that when the number of nearest neighbors increases from 5 to 50, the MAE of personalized recommendation of economic and management teaching resources based on hybrid recommendation decreases by 30.91%, and the direct utility path coefficient of teaching effect on students’ learning satisfaction is 0.62. The teaching resources of economics and management constructed by combining the RNMIE model can help students realize the diversified choices of teaching resources and also provide a new reference for the innovative informationized teaching mode of economics and management majors.
Monitoring to improve quality of life in women with bleeding disorders
Authors: Noone Declan , d’Oiron Roseline
Published: May 2024

Systematic structures to understand the incidence and prevalence of bleeding disorders in women and girls are in place in some countries and becoming more robust, though there is still room for improvement. More co-ordinated data gathering is providing new insights into the diagnosis and treatment of girls with bleeding disorders and demonstrating clear deficits in care compared with boys that can have important implications around puberty. Recognition and recording of female symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) may lag behind that of symptoms with a greater perception bias, such as joint bleeds, and affect quality of life and wellbeing. Addressing inequity of symptom recognition and recording is needed to drive appropriate and timely treatment interventions. New symptom tools can empower patients to differentiate normal from abnormal bleeding so they can seek and receive help. Greater awareness among health care professionals (HCPs) of women's bleeding disorders and the establishment of referral networks for diagnosis and treatment, with multidisciplinary assessment and follow-up, are still needed.
Shared decision-making for gene therapy in haemophilia care
Authors: Fletcher Simon , Jenner Kathryn , Khair Kate
Published: May 2024

Shared decision-making (SDM) is an important part of patient-centred care in which healthcare professionals (HCPs) and patients/caregivers jointly reach care decisions through a two-way exchange and synthesis of information based on clinical evidence and patient preference. SDM was described in haemophilia care in 2014 as two-sided intervention to aid patient decision-making. However, as the range of haemophilia treatments has expanded, identifying the optimal haemophilia treatment for an individual has become more complex. This is particularly so in the case of gene therapy, a onetime-only, irreversible treatment. In this context, it is vital that people with haemophilia (PwH) and their families continue to be involved in care decisions in an informed and interactive way. For gene therapy, this must include being well informed about the gene therapy process, enabling the patient to engage in fully informed SDM and consent, and ensuring that issues around long-term durability, potential side effects, the need for long-term follow-up are understood with a recognition that the ‘unknown unknowns’ are also unknown to HCPs. Both HCPs and patient organisations have a key role to play in providing PwH with access to relevant information and education, tailored to individual needs and free of jargon. Considerable education and support are required before PwH can make a truly informed decision about having gene therapy. Use of structured SDM tools such as the SHARE approach can help to support this. There is a need for SDM educational tools that include written/visual information and the use of standardised checklists may be helpful for both PwH and HCPs. The most important part of this process is that PwH want to undergo gene therapy – and this is only an option if they are fully educated and informed by fully educated and informed healthcare teams.
A creative approach to managing a case of haemophilia A with inhibitors in a low-resource country: case report
Authors: Bhatia Simran , Archana M V , Bhat Vasudeva , Balthillya Ganesh M , Badagabettu Sulochana
Published: May 2024

The development of antibodies to therapeutic factor VIII, known as inhibitors, is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in people with haemophilia. This is particularly challenging in areas where access to novel treatment options is limited. This case report presents a clinical scenario in South Western India involving a 16-year-old male with severe haemophilia A with high titre inhibitors, who sustained a tibia-fibula shaft fracture necessitating emergency surgical intervention. The successful management of this patient required a multidisciplinary approach, encompassing haemostasis optimisation, innovative factor replacement strategies to work around financial constraints, and a comprehensive rehabilitation plan. The patient’s history of multiple factor VIII concentrate transfusions contributed to inhibitor development. Limited funds for bypassing agents prompted the utilisation of fresh frozen plasma to achieve haemostasis before access to FEIBA and recombinant factor VII. Emicizumab, a subcutaneously administered bispecific antibody, was used to assist perioperative haemostasis. A comprehensive rehabilitation plan with regular physiotherapy was followed. Emicizumab prophylaxis was initiated and the patient now shows improvement. This case emphasises the importance of novel treatment options such as FEIBA and emicizumab in dealing with complications in haemophilia such as inhibitors. In resource-limited settings, there is still a need to improve the availability of these life-saving interventions to optimise surgical outcomes in such cases.
Short- and longer-term goals for change – A report from the 2nd workshops of the EHC Think Tank Workstreams on Access Equity and Future Care Pathways
Authors: Gacser Zita , Skouw-Rasmussen Naja , Bourke Steven , ten Ham Renske , Hosszú Dalma
Published: May 2024

Introduction

The second series of workshops for the EHC Think Tank Workstreams on Access Equity and Future Care Pathways involved working towards consensus on addressing challenges to progress around achieving equitable access to care and shaping rare disease care pathways that meet patient needs while remaining practicable and affordable to healthcare providers. This report summarises workshop outcomes from these two workstreams, in which stakeholder participants identified a ‘guiding star’ determining the direction of ongoing focus, defined achievable ‘near star’ milestones, and enablers and constraints to achieving these.

Guiding Stars

The Access Equity Workstream proposed focusing on developing a healthcare system that enables patients to benefit from care and treatment fairly and impartially. The Future Care Pathways Workstream agreed that their focus would be on developing care pathways that provide the right intervention at the right time by the right healthcare professional in the right formats with a variety of delivery methods to suit the person.

Near Stars

For the Access Equity Workstream, changes in narrative and behaviour were the achievable milestones that the group agreed to prioritise. Greater stakeholder collaboration and consistent data collection and use will be important enablers for change. Participants proposed greater emphasis on investment and value (instead of cost and return) and a change of mindset from ‘fixing the patient’ to achieving a healthy life through early intervention and preventing comorbidities. However, lack of clarity over what constitutes ‘value’ and around stakeholders' responsibilities, limited outcome measures and resistance to change may constrain progress. A near star for the Future Care Pathways workstream was the development of seamless, personalised care pathways with integrated digital and AI-based technologies to enable real-time measurement of pathway effectiveness. Participants felt that understanding and respecting patient behaviour and the nudges and incentives needed to promote pathway acceptance will be important. As in the Access Equity Workstream, they recognised the role of routine, standardised data collection for measuring outcomes, sharing information and informing decision-making. They predicted that building trust between stakeholder groups (including patients, healthcare providers, academic and life science companies) and using patient networks and advocates effectively would enable collaboration and ensure that patient needs and insights are acted upon. However, financial and legal aspects, inadequate implementation of technological infrastructure, limited systems integration, and lack of stakeholder time, effort and energy are all potential constraints that will need to be addressed.
Living, Caring, Learning – The power of qualitative research in bleeding disorders care: One voice, from soloist to choir
Authors: Fletcher Simon
Published: May 2024

With over three decades of nursing experience, Simon reflects on his experience as a research nurse at the Oxford Haemophilia and Thrombosis Centre at a time of huge change for haemophilia care and treatment. He recalls the impact of conversations with people with haemophilia about gene therapy, how these challenged his assumptions about living with haemophilia, and how this prompted him to pursue a PhD. Highlighting the importance of listening to individual patient stories, Simon discusses how qualitative research contributes to a deeper understanding of what it is to live with a bleeding disorder. He considers the role of nurses in research and the importance of collaboration between research and clinical nursing teams as new treatments for haemophilia and other bleeding disorders emerge.

Authors: Aivaz Kamer-Ainur , Șerbănescu Maria
Published: May 2024

The present study aims to assess the ecosystem services of the Danube Delta through a complex multi-factor hierarchical regression analysis. Using three different regression models, the research addresses multiple dimensions of human-nature interaction in this area of major ecological and cultural importance. First, the attractiveness of ecosystem services (VF1) was investigated, identifying a positive impact of improved infrastructure and tourism service provision on the local economy and visitor experience. It was also found that this attractiveness needs to be weighed with specific demographic and social needs. Secondly, the current perception and potential for conservation and tourism (VF2) was examined, revealing the link between effective resource management and the region’s tourism value. Thus, positive perceptions of conservation practices were found to be determinant in establishing the value of the Delta as a tourist destination. Finally, the impact of obstacles to Delta development (VF3) was considered, highlighting the importance of an integrated approach to development planning in the region. The recognised obstacles involve environmental, economic and social factors, and indicate the need for balanced management of natural resources. The results of the study highlight the need for multidisciplinary collaboration for effective management of the Danube Delta, emphasising the need to protect this unique habitat while promoting sustainable and inclusive development for the benefit of current and future generations.
Investigating the Air Travel-Tourism Relationship Using Granger Causality Analysis: The Case of Turkish Destinations
Authors: Yaşar Mehmet
Published: May 2024

One of the main benefits of air transport is that it allows people to travel quickly from one place to another. This allows people to reach their destinations faster than other modes of transport for purposes such as tourism, business and education. The aim of this study is to investigate the causality relationships between air travel and tourism demand by each market segment. The causality relationship between the number of domestic passengers, international passengers and total number of passengers and the number of domestic tourists, international tourists and total number of tourists is analyzed on a monthly basis for the period 2017–2021 in Turkey with Granger causality analysis. The findings revealed a two-way causal relationship between the number of domestic travelers and the demand for domestic tourism, as well as a two-way relationship between the demand for total travelers and the demand for total tourism. There is a unidirectional causal connection between the demand for inbound tourists and the quantity of international travelers. The research is expected to add to the body of work on the outcomes. It will also have implications for those who make decisions about infrastructure and policy.
Do Loyal Customers Buy Differently? Examining Customers’ Loyalty in a Self-Service Setting
Authors: Țichindelean Mihai , Ogrean Claudia , Herciu Mihaela
Published: May 2024

The purpose of the current paper is to study how customer loyalty varies in time according to customer segments and external factors. In the first part of the paper, the authors have reviewed in a funnel-like manner the relevant literature, starting with relationship marketing and customer relationship management theories, and ending with customer loyalty. To achieve the paper’s research purpose, buying behavior data (recency of last transaction, buying frequency and monetary value spent) from a company’s internal information system was analyzed for 2019 and 2020, respectively. RFM model was applied on the 2019 data and resulted in three segments: heavy, medium, and low users - segments which varied in their loyalty for the year 2020. Based on the obtained findings, the authors concluded that the more intense a customer’s buying behavior is, the higher their probability is of being loyal in the future. A second conclusion assumes that customers characterized by intense buying behavior are less vulnerable to external threats, the Covid-19 pandemic in our case.

Over the past decade, firms’ recruitment problems have increased significantly in Germany. We show that skill shortages have been more pronounced in rural areas and that the gap between rural and urban regions has slightly increased. The intensity of a local skill shortage is linked to regional labour market conditions, the occupational composition and the share of small establishments. However, the most important factor is a more advanced demographic change in rural areas. Of all factors considered, the proportion of older workers correlates most strongly with the regional vacancy rate.

En este estudio el carbón activado granular (CAG) fue utilizado como material de soporte para inmovilizar antraquinona-2-sulfonato (AQS) para ser aplicado como mediador redox (MR) en fase sólida durante la biotransformación reductiva del colorante naranja de metilo (NM) y Cr(VI), utilizando lodo anaerobio. La modificación del CAG se realizó mediante la reacción de Lucas, alcanzando una capacidad de adsorción de 0.447 mmol/g. El material modificado (CAG-Q) mejoró la tasa de reducción del NM y Cr(VI) en comparación al control con lodo anaerobio libre de CAG-Q. Los resultados cinéticos indican que la tasa de reducción del NM con el lodo + CAG-Q fue 4.6- y 2.2-veces más alta que las tasas observadas por los cultivos con lodo anaerobio y con lodo + CAG, respectivamente. Además, la eficiencia de reducción en el cultivo con CAG-Q alcanzó 89.7%, con el lodo anaerobio en ausencia de MR fue 24.9%, evidenciando que la reducción indirecta catalizada con el MR en fase sólida fue el mecanismo utilizado. Para el Cr(VI), la tasa de reducción más alta fue en el cultivo con lodo + CAG, seguida del cultivo con lodo + CAG-Q, alcanzando incrementos de 4.4- y 1.3-veces comparado con el lodo anaerobio, respectivamente. Sin embargo, además de los procesos de reducción directa e indirecta, el proceso de adsorción también fue responsable de la eliminación de Cr(VI). Los resultados indican que el uso de materiales modificados con MR representan una estrategia promisoria para el tratamiento de contaminantes electrofílicos descargados en efluentes de diferentes sectores industriales.

Economic life is inseparable from daily life in running a business to create prosperity, and one way to do this is through borrowing capital. However, obtaining capital is not easy; it requires a process and collateral to secure the loan. One of the avenues to obtain capital is through bank loans. Banks, as financial institutions, provide capital to facilitate access to credit. In this process, banks often require collateral. In the execution of credit facilities, debtors who have repaid business loan credits with collateral such as land certificates and building certificates at a bank are entitled to receive back the collateral that was handed over to the bank. The bank, as the creditor, has the obligation to return the collateral to the debtor who has fulfilled their obligations. However, there are cases where creditors do not return the debtor's collateral documents. In such cases, the legal recourse for the debtor to regain the collateral from the creditor will depend on factors such as the cancellation of the mortgage rights and the effort to reclaim the collateral if the creditor does not return the collateral documents.

To imitate human-like behavior is one of the greatest feats a computer software could achieve. Computers can produce close-to-realism avatars with similar looks and behaviors in this modern era. One of the works that computer software could achieve now is conveying information in a place that a receptionist usually does. Therefore a computer software capable of that is called a Virtual Receptionist. This paper aims to explore the use of virtual humans as virtual receptionists and compare it to human receptionists to find both advantages and disadvantages. This research utilizes a virtual human model that imitates the behavior of a human receptionist. Its movements are based on real-life movements recorded with motion capture. It could also communicate with users by processing the voice input using speech-to-text technology recorded by a microphone. The recorded input will then be analyzed to determine whether it contains information stored in a database. The virtual human will then show the user the answer to their question accordingly. Utilizing virtual humans can make the process more interactive and exciting because of its futuristic feel. This way, campuses can have appealing introductory media and support campuses to be more open to the public in the future. However, the agent can only respond with prepared answers and not generate its own when necessary. Transcribed text will be analyzed for words that indicate the user's required information. In this case, the information would be the information of research laboratories in the post-graduate building of the EEPIS campus.
