Putting P-Values into Perspective

Few people would question the importance of research in the development of professional and clinical practice. Often however, confusion with the statistical aspects of research can impede the integration of appropriate research findings into good clinical practice. For many people, the presentation of data in statistical form can, in itself, immediately present a technical barrier to understanding. Given that statistical methods are intended to inform and not to confuse, the resolution of any shortfall requires some effort on the part of both the clinician and the researcher: the clinician should have the skills to deal with basic statistical concepts, and the researcher must make statistical results appropriately accessible. In this, the third paper in the series, the role of statistics in the application of research to clinical practice, is discussed. The goal of the paper is to enhance clinician understanding of research by reviewing statistical terminology, approaches, tests and interpretation. We describe some of the various ways in which statistical information can be presented, and take the reader through the process of using that information constructively. Some of the newer, more clinically relevant statistics will be presented and common pitfalls in the inappropriate presentation of Understanding Statistics Putting P-Values into Perspective
Dissecting Global Value Chains: Evidence from the global automotive industry

The potential restructuring of global value chains (GVCs) is a widely discussed question in current debates. At the same time, a proper way of capturing these value chains is challenging. This paper focuses on the automotive industry, using detailed data on firm-to-firm transactions in Hungary, as well as on cross-border sales and purchases. Its aim is twofold, capturing to what extent firms being connected to a GVC differ from other firms in the same industry, and what is the impact of integration into GVCs. Findings suggest that firms being part of GVCs tend to be larger, more productive, foreign-owned and having a higher level of intangible capital. There is some suggestive evidence that entering the GVC has a positive impact on size, productivity and per capita wage for certain firm groups and it is preceeded by increased imports of capital. Finally, there are also differences by employee composition. JEL codes: F23, F61
Impact of celebrity endorsement on consumer buying behavior: A study of telecommunication industry in Plateau State

Studies on the impact of celebrity endorsement on consumer buying behavior need broadening to imbue multiple viewpoints and examine the efficacy of this marketing strategy. The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of celebrity endorsement on telecommunications consumer buying behavior. A quantitative method was employed for this study and a survey questionnaire was used to collect the data. The study adopted a cross-sectional design where data used for hypotheses testing was drawn from customers of selected telecommunication service providers in Jos North local government, Plateau State. The study used a representative sample size of 400 respondents selected through random and convenience sampling techniques from which 378 questionnaires were useable. SPSS V 26.0 package was employed to conduct the analysis of the data collected from the field using the multiple regression models. The result revealed that celebrity trustworthiness positively but insignificantly impacts consumer buying behavior, implying that a celebrity that is high in trustworthiness may lead to consumers favoring the brand or service offering of the selected telecommunication service providers; however, trustworthiness alone is not enough. Other factors (e.g. socio-economic variables of the celebrity) can influence the buying behavior of the consumer regardless of whether the celebrity is credible or not. The result also showed that the other two predictorsattractiveness and expertise are important factors in determining celebrity’s effectiveness in influencing positively and significantly the buying behavior of consumers. Managers of telecommunication companies should devise suitable strategies to identify the right celebrity endorsement attributes that would lead to improved competitiveness, as the combined effect is greater than the use of one attribute.
Sunflowers and Robust Sunflowers from Randomness Extractors

The Erdős–Rado Sunﬂower Theorem (J. London Math. Soc. 1960) is a fundamental result in combinatorics, and the corresponding Sunﬂower Conjecture is a central open problem. Motivated by applications in complexity theory, Rossman (FOCS 2010) extended the result to robust sunﬂowers, where similar conjectures emerge about the optimal parameters for which it is expected to hold. We exhibit a surprising connection between the existence of sunﬂowers and robust sunﬂowers in suﬃciently large families of sets and the problem of constructing certain randomness extractors. This allows us to rederive the known results in a systematic manner. Our techniques have also motivated signiﬁcant subsequent progress on the Sunﬂower Conjecture by Ryan Alweiss, Shachar Lovett, Kewen Wu, and Jiapeng Zhang (STOC’20 and Annals of Math. 2021).
The Impact of the Positive E-WOM on the Relationship between the Use of Online Food Delivery Applications (FDAs) and Customer Satisfaction and Their Intention to Repurchase

(JAAUTH) Vol. 22, No. 2, (2022), PP. -. Catering businesses and customers have largely adopted food delivery apps (FDAs) using companies that introduce catering delivery via FDA applications. A limited number of studies have approached the influence of food delivery applications on customers intending to purchase in Egypt. This paper aims to measure the impact of online food delivery applications (FDAs) on satisfaction and purchasing decisions in Greater Cairo. Therefore, this paper evaluates customer perceptions via food delivery applications to suggest some improvements, to allow the food delivery applications to determine weakness points and to make amelioration to improve customer satisfaction when ordering via food delivery applications. A questionnaire was distributed to customers to identify their satisfaction towards the applications of food delivery. The study involves nine constructs, i.e. convenience; incentives; attractive content; technology anxiety; security, perceived control; E-WOM; satisfaction; intention to repurchase. This current study utilised SEM via the “Partial Least Squares PLS” technique to investigate the hypotheses of the research with Smart PLS-3.0. to analyze the data collected from 384 questionnaire forms gathered from customers. The research results show that the positive E-WOM variable was a partial mediator between the FDA's cybersecurity variable, customer satisfaction with it, and their decision to reuse these applications. On the other hand, E-WOM was complete mediator between the FDA's content, customer satisfaction, and the reuse of FDA's applications

Comparison of Functional Outcome after Total Knee Arthroplasty by Medial Parapatellar Approach Versus Midvastus Approach: A Prospective Observational Study

Total knee arthroplasty has become one of the most successful joint replacement surgeries with patients reporting good function following the surgery. The parapatellar approach is most often used, whereas the midvastus approach is a suitable alternative. Presently, it is unknown, which of the two is most advantageous for the function of the patient. Methodology: double-blind prospective, observational, comparative study. Results: It has been demonstrated that the Midvastus Approach (MV) is advantageous in the early postoperative period compared to the medial parapatellar surgical approach (MPP). The midvastus group were able to perform straight leg raising earlier and experienced less extensor lag when compared to the medial parapatellar group. The Knee Society Knee Score and the functional scores were also better in the midvastus group in the immediate post operative period. Conclusion: The midvastus approach, which is based on diminished disruption of extensor mechanism and peripatellar plexus of vessels, relieves pain and improves range of motion in the early rehabilitation period following TKA.
FABRICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PEROVSKITE STRUCTURES FOR SOLAR CELL APPLICATIONS

Solution-processing organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites have emerged as new generation and promising light-harvesting materials for photovoltaic technology and photonic applications such as solar cells, light emitting diodes and laser. The aim of this thesis is to boost the power conversion efficiency of planer perovskite solar cell by either using perovskite structure layer, or by doping perovskite thin film with metal ion to enhance the morphological, structure and optical properties of the perovskite thin film. The first proposed perovskite layer is based on CH3NH3PbBr3 and was fabricated using one step self-assembly method. The method is appropriate to produce CH3NH3PbBr3 microstructures in form of micro-wires, microplates and micro-cubes. The microstructures exhibit a cubic phase structure. The growth starts from the periphery and propagate to the center, giving forms of hollow cubes when the growth is not finished, and each cube is the superposition of several perovskite layers. The optical properties show an absorption peak at 523 nm and emission peak at 537 nm. On the other hand, the second layer is based on CH3NH3PbI3 thin film doped with the monovalent metal ions Cu + and Ag. The thin films were fabricated using one-step solution process. The results indicate that doping CH3NH3PbI3 thin film with small amount of Cu + and Ag ions have modified the morphology and structure of the perovskite layer by enhancing the surface coverage and the perovskite conversion process. Besides, the optical properties show an improvement in the absorption and PL intensities. Based on these results, the perovskite solar cells were synthesized based on CH3NH3PbI3 thin film doped with different concentrations of Cu + ion. The consequences of altering the concentration of the Cu ion on the performance of the perovskite solar cell, were investigated. It was found that doping perovskite solar cell with small amount of Cu ion increased the power conversion efficiency of the solar cell from about 16.3% to 18.2%. While, the excessed amount of Cu ion led to a decrease in the power conversion efficiency of the perovskite solar cell to 4.4%.
Comment on cp-2021-103 : Abrupt cl imate changes and the astronomical theory , by Rousseau , Bagniewski and Ghil

The authors carry out recurrence analysis of two paleoclimate proxies from the North Atlantic core U1308, covering the past 3.2 million years. One proxy represents global ice volume and deep ocean temperature, and the other proxy represents ice raft debris deposition. They also analyze the NGRIP water ice d18O record representing temperature at the top of the Greenland ice sheet for the past 110,000 years. The authors identify thresholds in RP topology that coincide with previously inferred paleoclimate transitions.
Low-Skilled Jobs, Language Proficiency and Refugee Integration: An Experimental Study

We study the causal effects of previous experience and language skills when newly arrived refugees in Sweden apply for job openings by means of a field experiment. Applications were sent from randomly assigned fictitious Syrian refugees with experience in jobs with low skill requirements and completed language training in Swedish to employers advertising low-skilled job vacancies. We find no evidence of sizeable effects from previous experience or completed language classes on the probability of receiving callback from employers. However, female applicants were more likely than males to receive a positive response. We conclude that previous experience and completed language training seem to provide at best a small positive signaling value when refugees apply for low-skilled jobs through formal channels.

Rethinking Network Design and Local Geometry in Point Cloud: A Simple Residual MLP Framework

Point cloud analysis is challenging due to irregularity and unordered data structure. To capture the 3D geometries, prior works mainly rely on exploring sophisticated local geometric extractors using convolution, graph, or attention mechanisms. These methods, however, incur unfavorable latency during inference, and the performance saturates over the past few years. In this paper, we present a novel perspective on this task. We notice that detailed local geometrical information probably is not the key to point cloud analysis -- we introduce a pure residual MLP network, called PointMLP, which integrates no sophisticated local geometrical extractors but still performs very competitively. Equipped with a proposed lightweight geometric affine module, PointMLP delivers the new state-of-the-art on multiple datasets. On the real-world ScanObjectNN dataset, our method even surpasses the prior best method by 3.3% accuracy. We emphasize that PointMLP achieves this strong performance without any sophisticated operations, hence leading to a superior inference speed. Compared to most recent CurveNet, PointMLP trains 2x faster, tests 7x faster, and is more accurate on ModelNet40 benchmark. We hope our PointMLP may help the community towards a better understanding of point cloud analysis. The code is available at https://github.com/ma-xu/pointMLP-pytorch.
Aliovalent doping strategies for enhancing ionic conductivity in Li3OCl solid electrolytes: a first-principles assessment

Aliovalent doping of solid electrolytes with the intention of increase the concentration of chargecarrying mobile defects is a common strategy for enhancing their ionic conductivities. For the antiperovskite lithium-ion solid electrolyte Li3OCl, both supervalent (donor) and subvalent (acceptor) doping schemes have previously been proposed. The effectiveness of these doping schemes depends on two conditions: first, that aliovalent doping promotes the formation of mobile lithium vacancies or interstitials rather than competing immobile defects; and second, that any increase in lithium defect concentration gives a corresponding increase in ionic conductivity. To evaluate the effectiveness of aliovalent doping in Li3OCl, we have performed a hybrid density-functional theory study of the defect chemistry of Li3OCl and the response to supervalent and subvalent doping. In nominally stoichiometric Li3OCl the dominant native defects are predicted to be VLi, OCl, and VCl. Supervalent doping increases VLi and OCl concentrations, with the preferentially-formed defect species dependent on synthesis conditions. Subvalent doping increases the concentration of VCl more than the concentration of Lii under all accessible synthesis conditions. While supervalent doping is predicted to be effective at increasing ionic conductivity, particularly under Li-poor synthesis conditions, subvalent doping is predicted to decrease room-temperature ionic conductivities at low-to-moderate doping levels. This effect is due to a reduction in the number of lithium vacancies formed during synthesis, and increased [ V ′ Li + Lii ] Frenkel-pair recombination upon cooling to room temperature. The strongly asymmetric doping response of Li3OCl with respect to supervalent versus subvalent doping is explained as a consequence of the low [VLi + VCl] Schottky pair formation energy, suggesting analogous behaviour should be expected in other Schottky-disordered solid electrolytes.
Key Clinical and Morphological Patterns of Anaemia in Preschool Children in Rural Setting of Bangladesh: A Fact Finding Study

Original Research Article Background: Anaemia and its association with low physical and cognitive development in under-five children remain as a common public health burden in developing countries including Bangladesh. Diagnosing anemia with its clinical and morphological pattern is important since it help in directing further investigation, identifying the etiology and most importantly helps in treatment. Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to find out key clinical and morphological pattern of anaemia among the under-five children in rural community of Bangladesh. Methods and Materials: A cross-sectional study were conducted at five remote northern districts of Bangladesh involving rural children aged 6 <60 months. Five millilitre (ml) venous blood was drawn using a sterile syringe and was analyzed with an ‘Automated Hematology Analyzer’ for complete hemogram. The degree of anaemia was classified into three categories on the basis of hemoglobin level. Chisquared test and independent sample t test were the main statistical model to identify significant variables. A p-value <0.05 was considered as significant. Results: Overall prevalence of anaemia (N = 258) was 61.23% with mild, moderate and severe anaemia of 28.29%, 28.68% and 4.26% respectively. Of all anaemic children nearly 7% has been suffering from severe anaemia. The prevalence of anaemia was the highest (72%) in age group 6-24 months, which was followed by 63% in >2436 months and 44.3% in >36-60 months categories. Morphologically, the most common type of anemia is microcytic anemia (80%) followed by normocytic anaemia (19%) in rural settings. Majority of microcytic anaemic children (63%) belongs to 624 month age group and normocytic anemia are commonly prevailed (50%) in >36-60 month and (43%) in 6-24 month aged group. Sex has no statistically significant influence on morphological pattern of anaemia ( 2 = .075). Conclusion: Clinically moderate anemia or mild anaemia is very common in preschool children particularly under 2 year age in rural community. Morphologically the most common type of anemia is microcytic anemia in 6-24 month age category. Therefore 6-24 month young children deserve special care in terms of nutrition and micronutrient supplementation.
GOVERNMENT POLICIES IN REGIONAL FINANCE AND ASSET MANAGEMENT IN REGIONAL AUTONOMY IMPLEMENTATION IN THE PROVINCE OF BALI, INDONESIA

I Wayan Sumarajaya, Made Kembar Sri Budhi, I Nyoman Mahaendra Yasa, Ida Ayu Nyoman Saskara Udayana University, Doctoral Student in Economics, Jl. PB. Sudirman-Denpasar, Indonesia Udayana University, Professor at Faculty of Economics and Business, Jl. PB. Sudirman-Denpasar, Indonesia Udayana University, Lecturer at Faculty of Economics and Business, Jl. PB. Sudirman-Denpasar, Indonesia Udayana University, Professor at Faculty of Economics and Business, Jl. PB. Sudirman-Denpasar, Indonesia Abstract Indonesia is a unitary state that gives autonomy to the regions, including the Province of Bali. So that regional autonomy can develop properly, the independence of regional finance is one of the indicators. Regional financial independence will be better if the Local Own-Source Revenue is higher. Therefore increasing Local Own-Source Revenue becomes a necessity in an effort to increase regional financial independence. The increase in Local Own-Source Revenue can be done by intensifying and extending the existing sources of original income and extracting new sources of income in accordance with the potential of a region. One of the potential sources of Local Own-Source Revenue is the optimization of the use of assets given the balance of funds from the center will be smaller and the role of taxes as a source of local revenue will be reduced according to the demands of the community. Therefore it is necessary to examine the effect of government policies, management and social capital moderation on optimizing the use of assets and regional financial independence. This research is a survey research conducted on regional apparatus organizations in Bali Province. Data were collected through a questionnaire and then analyzed using the SEM-PLS technique. The results showed that the direct influence between government policies, asset management, optimization of asset utilization, asset management, and regional financial independence had a positive and significant effect. Whereas social capital is proven to not moderate the effect of optimizing the use of assets on regional financial independence.
GEOMETRIC MOSAIC PATTERNS DESIGN AT MADABA. A COMPARATIVE STUDY

The site of Madaba in middle Jordan has many churches from the Byzantine period. In the church of the Virgin Mary, dated to between the end of the Sixth and the beginning of the Seventh Centuries A.D, we uncovered one of the most impressive and best-preserved mosaic pavements with geometric patterns in the Near East. In this paper, the writers attempt to show that the Madaba mosaicists were true masters of their profession. They combined motifs that enjoyed a long popularity from the early and through the middle Roman period, with new designs appearing here for the first time, as far as is known. An attempt is made to trace the history and survival of several geometric patterns from the mosaic in the church of the Virgin Mary by comparison with the same patterns found elsewhere in the Levant. The significance of the non-figurative character of this mosaic and those of other church floors in West bank, Syria and Lebanon of a similar date is also considered.
The Influenza Virus RNA-Polymerase and the Host RNA-Polymerase II: RPB4 Is Targeted by a PB2 Domain That Is Involved in Viral Transcription

Influenza virus transcription is catalyzed by the viral RNA-polymerase (FluPol) through a cap-snatching activity. The snatching of the cap of cellular mRNA by FluPol is preceded by its binding to the flexible C-terminal domain (CTD) of the RPB1 subunit of RNA-polymerase II (Pol II). To better understand how FluPol brings the 3′-end of the genomic RNAs in close proximity to the host-derived primer, we hypothesized that FluPol may recognize additional Pol II subunits/domains to ensure cap-snatching. Using binary complementation assays between the Pol II and influenza A FluPol subunits and their structural domains, we revealed an interaction between the N-third domain of PB2 and RPB4. This interaction was confirmed by a co-immunoprecipitation assay and was found to occur with the homologous domains of influenza B and C FluPols. The N-half domain of RPB4 was found to be critical in this interaction. Punctual mutants generated at conserved positions between influenza A, B, and C FluPols in the N-third domain of PB2 exhibited strong transcriptional activity defects. These results suggest that FluPol interacts with several domains of Pol II (the CTD to bind Pol II), initiating host transcription and a second transcription on RPB4 to locate FluPol at the proximity of the 5′-end of nascent host mRNA.
