The effect of sports performance and financial performance on European soccer club stock prices

This study discusses the effect of sports performance and financial performance on the price of European football. This topic is still a hot topic of discussion considering that football is a sport that is starting to develop into a real business industry that has a big impact on society. This phenomenon is caused by many speculations that football can become an industry that is in demand by investors. research conducted from 2016 to 2021 using articles with credible sources. Empirical results show that sports performance has a positive and significant effect on the stock price of football clubs. The liquidity ratio with the Current Ratio indicator has a positive and significant effect on the stock price of football clubs. The solvency ratio with the Debt to Asset Ratio proxy has a negative and significant effect on the stock price of football clubs. However, the profitability ratio with the NPM indicator has no effect on the stock price of the football club. The limitation of this study is that it focuses on European football clubs listed on the Stock Europe Football. Future research is expected to expand the scope of research such as the sample used and measurement indicators. aims to provide more accurate arguments and results regarding the effect of sports performance and financial performance on the stock price of football clubs.
Accessible Conceptions of Statistical Inference: Pulling Ourselves Up by the Bootstraps

With the rapid, ongoing expansions in the world of data, we need to devise ways of getting more students much further, much faster. One of the choke points affecting both accessibility to a broad spectrum of students and faster progress is classical statistical inference based on normal theory. In this paper, bootstrap‐based confidence intervals and randomisation tests conveyed through dynamic visualisation are developed as a means of reducing cognitive demands and increasing the speed with which application areas can be opened up. We also discuss conceptual pathways and the design of software developed to enable this approach.

Impacts of ice phase processes on tropical cyclone development

Idealized cloud-resolving simulations with the horizontal resolution of 2 km are carried out to investigate effects of ice-phase processes on the development and structures of tropical cyclones (TCs). A comparison between cold-rain and warm-rain simulations shows that ice-phase processes delay the TC organization, and decrease the area-averaged kinetic energy. The ice-phase processes also shrink the TC size; for example, the radius of the storm-force wind area (over 25 m s−1) in the cold-rain simulation is two-thirds of that in the warm-rain one.The TC evolution depends greatly on strong cooling due to melting and sublimation of snow and graupel around the melting layer outside of the TC eyewall. The cooling reduces the pressure gradient below the melting level, and weakens the inflow toward the TC center. It suppresses the inward transport of high absolute angular momentum (AAM), and decreases the energy conversion rate from the available potential energy to kinetic energy of axisymmetric flows. As a result, the reduction of AAM around the eyewall shrinks the TC eyewall size, and the reduction of energy conversion rate delays the TC organization.The influence of the terminal fall velocities ofsnow and graupel is also examined by performing sensitivity experiments, with the horizontal resolution of 5 km. The results show that the increased terminal fall velocity lowers the actual melting altitude, and enhances the TC development through the change in the vertical profile of diabatic heating.
Deep Neural Network-Based QoT Estimation for SMF and FMF Links

Quality of transmission (QoT) estimation tools for fiber links are the enabler for the deployment of reconfigurable optical networks. To dynamically set up lightpaths based on traffic request, a centralized controller must base decisions on reliable performance predictions. QoT estimation methods can be categorised in three classes: exact analytical models which provide accurate results with heavy computations, approximate formulas that require less computations but deliver a reduced accuracy, and machine learning (ML)-based methods which potentially have high accuracy with low complexity. To operate an optical network in real-time, beside accurate QoT estimation, the speed in delivering results is a strict requirement. Based on this, only the last two categories are candidates for this application. In this paper, we present a deep neural network (DNN) structure for QoT estimation considering both regular single-mode fiber (SMF) and future few-mode fiber (FMF) proposed to increase the overall network capacity. We comprehensively explore ML-based regression methods for estimating generalized signal-to-noise ratio (GSNR) in partial-load SMF and FMF links. Synthetic datasets have been generated using the enhanced Gaussian noise (EGN) model. Results indicate that the proposed DNN-based regressor can provide better accuracy along with less computation complexity, compared with other state-of-the-art ML methods as well as closed-form-EGN and closed-form-GN models.
Social Media Web 2.0 Tools Adoption in Language and Literacy Development in Early Years: A Scoping Review

Social media tools are increasingly used in child’s language and literacy development in early years. However, few researchers shed light on effectiveness and the practice that the EC professionals and teachers have adopted in ECE settings and other related contexts. This scoping review synthesized and evaluated the literature on social media integration in language and literacy development in ECE in the last decade, to provide a clearer picture on what social media tools were used, how they were used, and whether they were effective. Results showed that a wide-range of social media tools were used in diverse learning activities; however, few studies designed the learning activities with the guidance of an evidence-based teaching method or pedagogical framework.
β-Cell Autophagy Pathway and Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Regulating-Role of Liposomal Curcumin in Experimental Diabetes Mellitus: A Molecular and Morphometric Study

Background: Autophagy can confer protection to pancreatic β-cells from the harmful effects of metabolic stress by delaying apoptosis. Curcumin (CUR) alleviates oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, activates autophagy, reduces inflammation, and decreases β-cell damage in type I diabetes. Liposomal CUR (LPs-CUR) has a higher therapeutic value and better pharmacokinetics than CUR. Objectives: We determined LPs-CUR’s ability to alleviate stress, reduce β-cell damage and unraveled the mechanism underlying its protective effect using a streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type I diabetic rat model. Methods: Sprague–Dawley rats were grouped into vehicle control, STZ-diabetic (STZ 65 mg/kg), STZ-diabetic-3-MA (3-methyladenine [3-MA] 10 mg/kg b.wt), STZ. diabetic-LPs-CUR (LPs-CUR 10 mg/kg b.wt), and STZ diabetic-LPs-CUR-3-MA (LPs-CUR 10 mg/kg b.wt; 3-MA 10 mg/kg b.wt). Results: LPs-CUR significantly reduced blood glucose, oxidative stress, and cellular inflammation in the pancreatic tissue (p < 0.001). ER stress-dependent genes included ATF-6, eIF-2, CHOP, JNK, BiP, and XBP LPs-CUR significantly suppressed fold changes, while it upregulated the autophagic markers Beclin-1 and LC3-II. Conclusions: LP-CUR ameliorates β-cell damage by targeting the autophagy pathway with the regulatory miRNAs miR-137 and miR-29b, which functionally abrogates ER stress in β-cells. This study presents a new therapeutic target for managing type I diabetes using miR-137 and miR-29b.
Dynamic accessibility of inflow and outflow reconnective solutions

An analysis of the accessibility properties of exact stationary solutions of the resistive magnetohydrodynamics equations is presented. The issue is raised of whether such solutions, which describe a particular type of magnetic reconnection, can be obtained as the final state of a time-dependent evolution of the magnetic- and velocity-field disturbances superimposed onto background fields possessing a null point. Numerical experiments indicate that, whereas for the solutions of inflow type with super-Alfvenic background flow the imposed boundary conditions are sufficient to determine the accessed steady-state solution, in the case of outflow solutions with sub-Alfvenic background flow the final steady-state turns out to depend on the initial disturbance as well. It is found that the directions of the characteristic curves of the evolution equations and an implicit condition on the vorticity at the stagnation point are responsible for this behavior. Implications for the maximum current density attained in the final state are discussed. An argument to explain the appearance of damped oscillations in the evolution of the disturbance fields for the outflow case, as opposed to the flux pileup characterizing the inflow case, is also provided.
Spectre d'Emission de la Molecule PO : Transition C2Σ−–X2Πr et Nature de l'Etat C′

The vibrational and rotational analyses of 27 red degraded subbands of PO in the region 1850–2350 A, attributed to C–X2Πr system, are reported. The bands are photographed with a dispersion of 0.29 A/mm. We observed three new vibrational levels of the C state. The identification of C as a 2Σ− state obliged us to reconsider the C–X2Πr transition. We concluded that C′ is a 2Δ state. A table of molecular constants for the C state is given.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE INTAKE OF ENERGY, PROTEIN, IRON, AND VITAMIN C WITH HEMOGLOBIN STATUS IN PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS OUTPATIENTS

Background: Pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis with a treatment period of 6 months to more than one year. The prevalence of pulmonary TB in Indonesia in 2013 was 40% and in South Sumatra in 2018 was 40%. The management of pulmonary TB patients involves several things, namely adequate rest, anti-tuberculosis drug (ATD) therapy, and adequate food intake (sufficient) to recover the patients' pulmonary TB. Purpose in this study investigated the relationship between energy and protein intake, iron, and vitamin C with Hemoglobin (Hb) status in pulmonary TB patients. Method: The type of research used is an observational analytic study with a cross sectional research design with a sample size of 50 human subjects. Participants were selected according to the inclusion criteria and interviewed using a prepared questionnaire. Participants' food intake was obtained using a 24-hour food recall method for 3 days. Body weight, height, and blood pressure were measured. Blood samples were taken to determine the participants' hemoglobin levels Result: There was no relationship between the Hb value and energy intake (p = 0.658) and protein (p = 0.357), while there was a relationship between the Hb value and iron intake (p = 0.012) and vitamin C (p = 0.001). Conclusion: The results of statistical tests showed a relationship between the Hb value with iron and vitamin C intake, while the energy and protein intake had no relationship with the Hb level in pulmonary TB patients.
Effect of Dexamethasone on the Incidence and Outcome of COVID-19 Associated Pulmonary Aspergillosis (CAPA) in Critically Ill Patients during First- and Second Pandemic Wave—A Single Center Experience

Superinfections with Aspergillus spp. in patients with Coronavirus disease 2019 (CAPA: COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis) are increasing. Dexamethasone has shown beneficial effects in critically ill COVID-19 patients. Whether dexamethasone increases the risk of CAPA has not been studied exclusively. Moreover, this retrospective study aimed to identify risk factors for a worse outcome in critically ill COVID-19 patients. Data from 231 critically ill COVID-19 patients with or without dexamethasone treatment from March 2020 and March 2021 were retrospectively analysed. Only 4/169 (6.5%) in the DEXA-group and 13/62 (7.7%) in the Non-DEXA group were diagnosed with probable CAPA (p = 0.749). Accordingly, dexamethasone was not identified as a risk factor for CAPA. Moreover, CAPA was not identified as an independent risk factor for death in multivariable analysis (p = 0.361). In contrast, elevated disease severity (as assessed by Sequential Organ Failure Assessment [SOFA]-score) and the need for organ support (kidney replacement therapy and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation [ECMO]) were significantly associated with a worse outcome. Therefore, COVID-19 treatment with dexamethasone did not increase the risk for CAPA. Moreover, adequately treated CAPA did not represent an independent risk factor for mortality. Accordingly, CAPA might reflect patients’ severe disease state instead of directly influencing outcome.
Influence of Material Properties on Rayleigh Critical‐Angle Reflectivity

This paper extends the investigation of critical‐angle phenomena and investigates the relationships between material properties and the condition (F0) for which zero reflectivity occurs. It was found that material attenuation, density, and velocity all influence F0. Graphs are presented for several materials from which the reader may determine F0 for a particular sample. Measurements which further verify the accuracy of the model, which we have used in these calculations, are also presented.
The Churning of Organizational Learning: A Case Study of District and School Leaders Using Social Network Analysis

Research provides ample evidence that positive social relations and access to knowledge are supportive for educational change. However, few studies have examined how personnel turnover and restructuring in school districts influence these processes, specifically as they relate to leaders’ access to research evidence and perception of organizational learning and culture. In this longitudinal exploratory mixed-methods case study, we examine the changes in social networks and organizational learning among school and district leaders during a 3-year district restructuring process. Our study uses social network analysis, bivariate analyses, and qualitative coding. We surveyed district and school leaders about their districts’ capacity for organizational learning, organizational culture, and social ties around research evidence. Our results suggest a decrease in the district’s capacity to diffuse ideas from research between Years 1 and 3, which may inhibit efforts for improvement. Further, the data on school and district leaders who did not leave the district indicates a decrease in the perception of organizational learning and culture in school sites, but not in the district with differences between principals and central office staff. Qualitative findings support an association between the restructuring and changes in organizational learning and social structures and provide further reasons for the changes (e.g., lack of communication, time to maintain/build relationships, and opportunities for professional development). These findings speak to the importance of leaders focusing on the social side of change during times of churn, including strengthening trust, fostering collective values and beliefs, and countering division.
Endohelminth Parasites of Male and Female Tigerfish, Hydrocynus vittatus (Castelnau, 1861), from the Sanyati Basin in Lake Kariba

Tigerfish (Hydrocynus vittatus Castelnau, 1861) is of considerable importance in both the commercial and recreational fishery activities of Lake Kariba. In our previous paper (Mabika et al. 2019) we provided information on the seasonal occurrence of metazoan parasites of H. vittatus. This communication provides endohelminth infection statistics of male and female H. vittatus across two seasons not previously included. A total of 80 H. vittatus individuals consisting of 56 females and 24 males were examined for endohelminth parasites during the period October 2014–July 2015 in the Sanyati basin, Lake Kariba. Parasites were recovered from the abdominal cavity, mesentery and intestines. Most of the parasites were harboured in the abdominal cavity in both sexes. Parasite infection was more prevalent during the dry season in comparison to the rainy season for both sexes. Contracaecum larval infection was significantly higher in female (84%) than in male tigerfish (24%), whereas larval cestode infections were significantly higher in male tigerfish (59%) than female fish (16%). The mean condition factor of the male tigerfish (1.68) was not significantly higher than that of the female (1.64). The results of the study indicate that female tigerfish were more suitable hosts to Contracaecum larval infection than the male fish. Further parasitological and histopathological research on tigerfish is recommended to contribute to knowledge on endohelminth diversity and conservation.
Sequential Patterns in Social Interaction States for Regulation in Collaborative Learning

This study explored sequential patterns in social interaction states for group-level regulation of learning during collaborative learning. The participants were secondary school students (N = 92) performing collaborative physics tasks. The videotaped sessions were analyzed regarding participation, social interaction, and group-level regulation types of co- and socially shared regulation. The results show that group-level regulation emerged most frequently in social interaction state that included cognitive and socioemotional interaction and whole-group participation, which also led to and followed regulation most frequently. The findings highlight the role of joint participation in social interactions for regulation of learning in collaborative group settings.
Identification of Rotor Position of Permanent Magnet Spherical Motor Based on Compressed Sensing

The accurate identification of the rotor position of permanent magnet spherical motor (PMSM) is crucial to its closed-loop control. A novel method for rotor position identification of the PMSM based on compressive sensing is proposed, which can obtain accurate rotor position by a limited number of Hall sensors. First, the article designs a Hall sensor array based on the distribution characteristics of the rotor magnetic and the frequency domain characteristics of the air gap magnetic field, combined with the Fibonacci sequence. Then, an observation matrix construction method is proposed, used for compressed sensing of the radial magnetic field strength information in air gap. Finally, the position of the spherical rotor is identified according to the reconstructed information based on the sensor output value. The identification method is verified by experiments, which shows that the identification accuracy is about 1°.
Singular perturbation analysis of the closed‐loop discrete optimal control problem

The closed-loop optimal control of a linear, time-invariant, singularly perturbed discrete system is considered. The resulting matrix Riccati difference equation is formulated in the singularly perturbed structure. It is observed that the degeneration affects some of the final conditions of the Riccati equation. A singular perturbation method is developed to obtain approximate solutions in terms of an outer series and a final correction series. The outer series takes advantage of the order reduction associated with degeneration and the correction series takes care of the affected final conditions. Two examples are given to illustrate the proposed method.
The bounded agency of Chinese rural-to-urban migrants in pursuing future possibilities: implications for social policy and social work practice

ABSTRACT Through the theoretical lens of bounded agency in the life course, this qualitative study explores Chinese rural-to-urban migrants’ experiences in pursuing future possibilities. Based on qualitative interviews with 42 migrants working in three cities of mainland China, the findings show that the participants seemed to regard starting a business as a ‘panacea’ that could ‘cure’ almost all the negative aspects of their lives as manual labourers. However, when discussing how to put this plan into practice, their agency was bounded by their disadvantages in social support, related knowledge and abilities, and entrepreneurial personality. The researchers conclude that it is better to understand doing business as a ‘stimulant’ that can provide migrants a spiritual respite from time to time in their frustrating lives, rather than a ‘panacea’ that can solve their practical problems. Some policy and practice suggestions have also been made to help rural-to-urban migrants achieve a better future.
Determination of the Thermodynamic Temperatures of the Freezing Points of Silver and Gold by Near-Infrared Pyrometry

The thermodynamic temperatures of the freezing points of silver and gold have been measured relative to the aluminium point with a photoelectric pyrometer of effective wavelength about 974 nm. The values obtained are 1234.927 K ± 0.018 K and 1337.330 K ± 0.022 K respectively. These results are based on the value of -64.3 mK for T-T68 at 730 K, recommended by the working group IV of the CCT in Dec. 1988 to take into account the most recent results of the gas thermometry of Edsinger and Schooley. The overall uncertainties are given at 68.3% confidence limits.
New predissociations in GeH affecting all the A2Δ state levels

Lifetimes have been measured of the rotational levels N' = 2-18 of the GeH A2Δ-X 2Π (0, 0) band yielding results in the range 75-85 ns. These are much shorter values than we had found earlier for the radiative lifetimes of the same system in the analogous molecules CH and SiH (≈ 500 ns) suggesting that all A-state levels in GeH are subjected to predissociations in the same way as in CH and SiH, i.e., through direct interactions with the continuum of the ground state. This conclusion is also supported by ab initio calculations which give a lower limit of 200 ns for the radiative lifetime of the GeH A state.
