Credit Rating Model of Small Enterprises Based on Optimal Discriminant Ability and Its Empirical Study by Zhanjiang Li, Lin Guo

“…Based on this principle, a nonlinear optimization model for credit rating division of small enterprises is built, and the approximate solution of the model is solved by a recursive algorithm with strong reproducibility and clear structure. The small enterprise credit rating division not only satisfies the principle that the higher the credit grade, the lower the default loss rate, but also satisfies the principle that the credit group of small enterprises matches the credit grade, with credit data of 3111 small enterprises from a commercial bank for empirical analysis. …”

Knowledge, attitudes and practice toward refractive errors management among left-behind children of migrant workers by Shuang Liu, Guang Yang, Qingnan Li, Ruxia Pei, Shaohua Tang

“…Relationship to the child other than grandparent (OR = 0.252, 95%CI: 0.064–0.999, p = 0.050), as well as child’s gender (female, OR = 1.671, 95%CI: 1.006–2.777, p = 0.047) and duration of sleep per day (OR = 8.401, 95%CI: 1.473–47.923, p = 0.017) were independently associated with practice. In addition, structural equation modeling also showed positive impact of knowledge on practice (β = 1.251, p &lt; 0.001).ConclusionLeft-behind children of migrant workers have mostly sufficient knowledge, positive attitude and proactive practice toward RE management, significantly influenced by child’s age, relationship with the child, and duration of living without parents.…”

BODY AND SPACE RELATIONSHIP IN THE RESEARCH FIELD OF PHENOMENOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY: BLUMENBERG’S CRITICISM OF EDMUND HUSSERL’S “ANTHROPOLOGY PHOBIA” by V. Prykhodko, S. Rudenko

“…Conclusions show the following state of affairs demonstrated by the anthropological and performative shift towards the body theme: 1) absolutisation of space without mentioning its relation to body experience is unreasonable and groundless, like in Husserl’s “anthropology phobia ”; 2) since the ground itself is a metaphorical anthropology basis, anthropology can reveal the structural conditions of perception due to thematic fronting of embodiment; 3) this gives anthropology some compensational features, to avoid false culture and nature dualism; 4) so, the space and body relationship is expressed by the Vehikel-phenomenon (transport phenomenon) of the body itself, by placing, arranging and depicting, and thus replacing something missing and unavailable for direct contemplation, by revealing the spatial infrastructure for object perception, creating the presence conditions and metaphorically marking the contemplation boundary; 5) the depicting arrangement (Darstellung) is at the same time a bodily performance, a play, staging and performing, which gives an aesthetic, poetic and emphatic impact on the use of philosophy language, in our case, on the way a phenomenology philosopher works with the language.…”
