Investor Sentiment and Stock Market Reactions to COVID-19: Evidence from China by Lin Sun, Wei Shi

“…This paper treats the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a natural experiment that can provide insights into the effects of investor sentiment on stock market reactions. Employing the event study methodology (ESM) and taking the date of the Wuhan lockdown as the event date, we find that average abnormal return (AAR) and cumulative abnormal return (CAR) are significantly negative, and average trading volume excesses far more than before within two days of the outbreak. …”

Dissociation: understanding the dynamics of primary and secondary capacities by Veronica Mateescu

“…Through the framework of PPT, the study highlights how dissociation compartmentalizes psychological functioning, impairing self-integration and balance across the four domains of life: body/senses, work/achievement, relationships/contact, and future/meaning/goals. Employing therapeutic autoethnography and insights from trauma theory, this analysis demonstrates how PPT’s distinctive tools, such as differential analysis and transcultural approach, facilitate nuanced and gradual healing. …”

TECHNO-ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF TRANSFORMING SORGHUM BAGASSE INTO BIOETHANOL FUEL IN NIGERIA: 1 - PROCESS MODELLING, SIMULATION, AND COST ESTIMATION by AJAYI OLUFUNMILOLA OYENIKE, ONIFADE KOLAWOLE RASHEED, ONADEJI ABIODUN, OYEGOKE TOYESE

“…The study of process plant models shows that 189 g of fuel grade bioethanol will be obtainable from a kilogram of sorghum bagasse based on the condition employed in the modeling of the process. Cost analysis indicates that it would require a capital and operation cost worth of $1.92 and $ 0.83, respectively, to produce a liter of fuel grade bioethanol from sorghum bagasse. …”

THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC RELEVANCE OF TRADITIONAL THRIFT AND CREDIT ASSOCIATIONS IN CONTEMPORARY NIGERIAN SOCIETY by ROBERT MARTINS EZE

“…Empirical studies were consulted, and structural-functionalism was employed to understand the subject. The paper concluded that thrift and credit associations have played and continue to play a significant role in the socio-economic development of the rural and urban economies in contemporary Nigeria, given that many cottage industries, petty businesses, and many families have been lifted out of poverty, especially in the rural areas. …”

A Modeling Method for Model-Driven API Management by Andrei Chiș

“…By assimilating API ecosystem conceptualization in the modeling environment, the proposal differs from both RPA (which typically employs non-BPMN process diagramming e.g., in UIPath) and BPM Systems (which typically isolate all API-related semantics outside the process modeling language to keep the diagrammatic representation standard-compliant).…”

Les traces de Denis Papin dans la poussière de l’histoire by Maguire, Conor

“…However, these devices apparently had no practical application at the time.In this article, we explore Papin’s efforts to create practical devices and the subsequent imprints he left in the literature, which can be considered a cultural artifact containing part of the “DNA” of human society. We employ bibliometric techniques to analyze the published literature (books, manuscripts, patents, etc.) from the 17th to the 21st century to quantitatively trace Papin’s impressive influence on science and technology.…”
