文摘This study uses Baidu News data and introduces a novel proxy for the rate of information flow to examine its relationship with return volatility in Chinese commodity futures and to test two competing hypotheses.We examine the contemporaneous relationships using correlation coefficient analysis,and find apparent differences between the information flow-return volatility relationship and the information flowtrading volume relationship.The empirical evidence contradicts the mixture of distribution hypothesis(MDH)and suggests that the rate of information flow distinctly affects trading volume and volatility.We conducted linear and nonlinear Granger causality tests to explore the sequential information arrival hypothesis(SIAH).The empirical results prove that a lead-lag linear and nonlinear causality exists between the information flow and return volatility of commodity futures,which is consistent with SIAH.In other words,a partial equilibrium exists before reaching the ultimate equilibrium when the new information arrives in the market.Finally,these findings are robust to alternative measurement of return volatility and subperiod analysis.Our findings reject the MDH and support the SIAH in the context of Chinese commodity futures.
文摘After the reform of CET-4 listening test,news listening has become another obstacle for students to improve their listening level.Aiming at the generally weak English listening level of non-English majors in independent colleges,this paper analyzes the difficulties in the news listening part of the CET-4 reform based on the characteristics of English news,and puts forward corresponding teaching strategies to develop students’proficiency in English news listening.
文摘Marburg virus disease(MVD)is a highly fatal illness,with a case fatality rate of up to 88%,though this rate can be significantly reduced with prompt and effective patient care.The disease was first identified in 1967 during concurrent outbreaks in Marburg and Frankfurt,Germany,and in Belgrade,Serbia,linked to laboratory use of African green monkeys imported from Uganda.Subsequent outbreaks and isolated cases have been reported in various African countries,including Angola,the Democratic Republic of the Congo,Equatorial Guinea,Ghana,Guinea,Kenya,Rwanda,South Africa(in an individual with recent travel to Zimbabwe),Tanzania,and Uganda.Initial human MVD infections typically occur due to prolonged exposure to mines or caves inhabited by Rousettus aegyptiacus fruit bats,the natural hosts of the virus.
