Forecast of LSTM-XGBoost in Stock Price Based on Bayesian Optimization

The prediction of the “ups and downs” of stock market prices is one of the important undertakings of the financial market. Since accurate prediction helps foster considerable economic benefits, stock market prediction has attracted significant interest by both investors and researchers. Efforts into building an accurate, stable and effective model to predict stock prices’ movements have been proliferating at a fast pace, to meet such a challenge. Firstly, this paper uses a correlation analysis to analyze the attributes of a stock dataset, processing missing values, determining the data attributes to be retained data, then divide it in a training set and a testing set. Then, the LSTM model is subsequently used to predict the retained attributes after the analysis and retention of prediction results to construct a new testing set. At the same time, the Bo-XGBoost model based on XGBoost is used to train the original training set. It uses Bayesian calculation to optimize the parameters which are proved to be difficult to find the best solution in the XGBoost model. Finally, the LSTM-BO-XGBoost model proposed in this paper is applied to “ES=F”, “YM=F”, “CL=F”, “^TNX”, “^N225”, “NQ=F”, “AAPL”, “GC= F”, “JPY=X” and “SI=F” rates with 10 stocks in the forecast and evaluated by four evaluation indexes: root mean square error (RMSE), average absolute error (MAE), accuracy rate, and F1-score. It is found that the LSTMBO-XGBoost model proposed in this paper performs better than LSTM in stock price prediction. In order to further evaluate the performance of the algorithm, the LSTM-BO-XGBoost mode is compared with the single LSTM network model and RNN network model, the LSTM-BO-XGBoost hybrid model. The results show that the LSTM-BO-XGBoost mode has high performance, stability and feasibility than the others.
Full-scale laboratory tests and FEM analysis of corrugated steel culverts under standardized railway load

This paper describes a full-scale static test conducted on a corrugated steel culvert with 2.99 m span and 2.40 m in height. The test was carried out in the Bridge and Road Research Institute, Wroclaw Branch, Poland, in 1998 for a Norwegian producer of culverts. The standardized railway load configuration UIC 71 for Europe was applied at various soil cover (from 0.3 m to 1.0 m). Several full-scale tests have been performed in the field to validate the long-term performance and great load bearing capacity of these structures, but few structures have been tested in controlled conditions in a test facility like the test in Poland. In order to verify the test results, a finite element model for the structures tested was constructed. The empirical results obtained were compared with results obtained by means of the Finite Elements Method (FEM). To perform the FEM analysis Cosmos/M system software was used. Only results obtained at 0.8 m soil cover were presented and compared.
Strategies for monitoring and training strength and power in elite rugby union players

Rugby union requires high levels of strength and power in order to support the physical requirements of the game. The competitive structure of rugby union in the English premiership places limitations on the time available for players’ physical development. The aim of this thesis was to analyse the scope and magnitude of strength and power adaptation potential, whilst identifying effective training strategies to support physical development in professional rugby union players. Chapter 3 monitored lower limb strength and power during the different phases of a professional season. This study demonstrated moderate beneficial increases in all physical capacities over a full season whilst pre and mid-season training cycles represent the greatest opportunity for strength and power enhancement. Chapter 4 assessed the efficacy of complex training performed during a mid-season performance phase and found meaningful increases in selected measures of power whilst maximum strength was maintained. Chapter 5 assessed the impact of pre-conditioning exercise mode selection (cycling or weightlifting) when designing complex training interventions and reported highly individualised response patterns in measures of lower and upper body performance. Chapter 5 also demonstrated no clear support for the short-term effects of elevated free-testosterone on local and systemic muscle performance. Chapter 6 investigated the effects that manipulating work interval duration has on fast muscle activity and power during high intensity interval training (HIT). This study reported greater accumulative power responses and fast muscle activation in selected muscles when shorter work interval durations were prescribed. In summary, scope for physical development exists in professional rugby union players. Complex training may be an efficient in-season training method for power development. Hormonal response patterns represent unpredictable markers of acute and chronic improvements in local and systemic muscle performance. Finally, the endurance potential of fast muscle groups may benefit from HIT protocols designed with shorter work interval durations.
Knowledge, Practices, and barriers to accurate blood pressure measurement procedure among Nurses Caring Cancer Patients under Anthracycline Chemotherapy in Tanzania: Implication of the Neumans theory and the Theory of planned behavior.

Patients under anthracycline chemotherapy are at risk of cardiovascular disorders, including hypertension. Error in blood pressure measurement exceeding 5mmHg may have detrimental outcomes to the patient quality of care. Studies involving nurses reveal discrepancies in knowledge and practices, which raise questions on the reliability of their BP recordings. It is not clear whether nurses taking care of these patients have sufficient knowledge and compliance regarding accurate blood pressure measurement. This study aimed at assessing knowledge, practice and associated factors regarding accurate blood pressure measurement procedures among nurses caring for cancer patients under anthracycline chemotherapy in Tanzania, guided by the Theory of Planned Behavior and Neuman’s Prevention and Intervention Theory. Methods A cross-sectional study, with a quantitative approach was conducted among 181 nurses who were conveniently sampled from various hospitals in Tanzania. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection and analysis done by using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 21. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square and Binary logistic regression analysis were applied. Results Based on the given 18 items to assess nurses’ knowledge of accurate blood pressure measurement, the mean knowledge score was 8.6 (SD=3.6), implying poor knowledge. Those with a bachelor of Nursing and above were more knowledgeable than those with a diploma and below (AOR=2.5, 95%CI=1.281-4.914, p=0.007). Out of the maximum practice score of 40, the nurses had Mean=16 (SD=2.33) implying poor practice. Three mostly reported barriers were: Feeling unempowered, Nurses’ workload, and unconducive working environment. The results conform to the theory of planned behavior and Neuman’s Prevention and Intervention Theory. Conclusion Nurses caring for patients in anthracycline chemotherapy in Tanzania have poor knowledge and poor practice regarding accurate blood pressure measurement. Institutional programs to educate nurses about accurate blood pressure measurement may have an impact on attitude and intention to practice accurate blood pressure measurement. Considering the barriers to accurate blood pressure measurement, and the impact of unstable blood pressure and hypertension on morbidity and mortality in cancer patients at risk of cardiovascular complications, efforts are needed to overcome the barriers and maximize the quality of Blood Pressure measurement by the nurses.
Characteristics of a nonlinear rotating piezoelectric energy harvester under variable rotating speeds

This paper presents a nonlinear rotating vibration energy harvester by employing a piezoelectric cantilever beam and a nonlinear magnetic force due to a pair of magnets. A mathematical model is derived for the nonlinear rotating harvester based on the Lagrange's equation and the assumed-mode method, where piezoelectric coupling behavior is also included. From the model, the potential function of the nonlinear rotating harvester is firstly studied. Then its output characteristics under rotating speeds varying linearly and nonlinearly with time are carefully examined, respectively. The effects of the distance between the two magnets, the sweep rate, the sweep direction and the growth rate of the rotating speed on the output characteristics are investigated numerically. The simulation results reveal that all these parameters have strong influences on characteristics of the rotating harvester. When an optimal distance is achieved, a nonlinear rotating energy harvester is fit for low frequency and variable rotating motion more than a linear one. All conclusions will provide guidelines for designing nonlinear rotating vibration energy harvesters.
Effect of Dual-Chamber Pacemakers with Various Atrioventricular Intervals on Systolic Function, Diastolic Function, and Plasma Level of NT-pro BNP in a Sample of Iraqi Patients

Background: The use of dual-chambers (DDD) pacemakers is steadily increasing a year after year and one of the programmable settings for these pacemakers is the duration of the atrioventricular interval (AVI). AVI manipulation is justified for a variety of reasons including better hemodynamic stability and extending the battery life of the pacemaker. Since plasma NT-proBNP level reflects the myocardial wall tension, we hypothesized that different durations of AVI may have an effect on cardiomoycytes stretch and myocardial wall tension and hence an effect on plasma NT-proBNP level. So we tried to use plasma NT-proBNP as a marker for that strain, if present. Also, we tried to explore the effect of DDD pacemakers on both the systolic and the diastolic functions of the heart using conventional echocardiographic parameters. Methods: 52 patients with permanent dual-chambers pacemaker were recruited. We exclude those with heart failure, renal impairment, and major valvular or coronary vessels disease. All patients had a thorough medical history and examination, ECG, echocardiography (2-D, M-mode, and Doppler) as well as blood sampling for NT-proBNP. Based on the shape of their E-A waves by pulsed-wave Doppler of transmitral flow, they were grouped in 3 categories. Group-A included those with truncated A-wave, group-B comprised those with separated E and A waves, and group-C involved those with fused E-A waves with or without diastolic mitral regurgitation. Results: there was statistically significant difference in the duration of AVI among the 3 groups (p <0.001) with patients having fused E-A waves recorded the longest AVIs. Plasma NT-proBNP levels were significantly higher when E-A waves were fused (p <0.001). The systolic parameters such as the cardiac output, the stroke volume and the ejection fraction were higher when there was neither A-wave truncation nor E-A wave fusion (p <0.001). All patients showed evidences of diastolic dysfunction. Conclusion: despite the fact that DDD pacemakers are more physiological mode of pacing, nevertheless they induce some grade of diastolic heart failure. Manipulating the AVI into longer than the device`s default values should be carefully judged since it is associated with higher levels of plasma NT-proBNP levels that reflect cardiac wall tension and strain which in turn may progresses in future into another cardiac problems such as atrial fibrillation.

Predictors of Delirium Incidence, Time to Onset, and Recurrence in a Mixed Medical-surgical ICU Population: A Secondary Analysis Using Cox and CHIAD Decision Tree Modeling

Background: To address whether in intensive care unit (ICU) patients, which factors correlate with development of delirium (primary outcome), as well as more rapid delirium onset and recurrence (secondary outcomes). Methods: A retrospective secondary analysis of 4,200 patients was collected from two academic medical centers. Delirium was assessed with the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) in all patients. Univariate and multivariate Cox models, logistic regression analysis, and Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detector (CHAID) decision tree modeling were used to explore delirium risk factors.Results: Increased delirium risk as associated with exposed only to artificial light (AL) hazard ratio (HR) 1.84 (95% CI: 1.66-2.044, P<0.001), physical restraint application 1.11 (95% CI: 1.001-1.226, P=0.049), and high nursing care requirements (>8 hours per 8-hour shift) 1.18 (95% CI: 1.048-1.338, P=0.007). Delirium incidence was inversely associated with greater family engagement 0.092 (95% CI: 0.014-0.596, P=0.012), low staff burnout and anticipated turnover scores 0.093 (95% CI: 0.014-0.600, P=0.013), non-ICU length-of-stay (LOS)<15 days 0.725 (95% CI: 0.655-0.804, P<0.001), and ICU LOS ≤15 days 0.509 (95% CI: 0.456-0.567, P<0.001). CHAID modelling indicated that AL exposure and age <65 years conveyed a high risk of delirium incidence, whereas SOFA score ≤11, APACHE IV score >15 and natural light (NL) exposure were associated with moderate risk, and female sex were associated with low risk. More rapid time to delirium onset correlated with baseline sleep disturbance (P=0.049), high nursing care requirements (P=0.019), and prolonged ICU and non-ICU hospital LOS (P<0.001). Delirium recurrence correlated with age>65 years (HR 2.198; %95 CI: 1.101-4.388, P=0.026) and high nursing care requirements (HR 1.978, 95% CI: 1.096-3.569), with CHAID modeling identifying AL exposure (P<0.001) and age >65 years (P=0.032) as predictive variables.Conclusion: Development of ICU delirium correlated with application of physical restraints, high nursing care requirements, prolonged ICU and non-ICU LOS, exposure exclusively to AL (rather than natural), less family engagement, and greater staff burnout and anticipated turnover scores. ICU delirium occurred more rapidly in patients with baseline sleep disturbance, and recurrence correlated with presence of delirium on ICU admission, exclusive AL exposure, and high nursing care requirements.
Governance by Committee: The Influence of Board of Directors' Committee Composition on Corporate Performance

Although a considerable amount of attention has been devoted to examining the relationships between board of directors' composition and corporate financial performance, the vast majority of this research has focused on the board-at large. Such a focus may be unfortunate, as a great deal of board decision-making occurs at the committee level. This study examines the relationship between the composition of three important board of directors ' committees (audit, compensation, nominating) and firm performance. Relying on multiple measures of board composition, multiple measures of corporate financial performance, and multiple time periods, we find no evidence of systematic relationships between board committee composition and corporate financial performance.
A single indicator joint in non-systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis whose ultrasound scores are correlated with disease activity

Background: Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) has been used worldwide in adult patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) but not in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The aim of this study was to investigate the application of MSUS findings of a single indicator joint in JIA to assess the disease activity and classify disease subtype.Methods: Thirty-five non-systemic JIA patients with a total of 62 visits were retrospectively recruited in this study. Among involved joints, the one with highest value of grey scale (GS) plus power Doppler (PD) (=GSPD) was selected as the indicator joint of each visit. The correlations between MSUS parameters of indicator joints and the Physician Global Assessment (PGA) score, The Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire‐disability index (CHAQ-DI), and laboratory data were analyzed. The ultrasound features in different subtypes of JIA were also compared.Results: PD was weakly correlated with the PGA score (rho=0.323, p=0.010), while both GS and GSPD were moderately correlated with the PGA score (rho=0.405, p=0.001; rho=0.434, p=0.000). On the other hand, GS, PD, and GSPD were weakly correlated with CHAQ-DI. Although erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) had a weak correlation with PGA, they were not statistically correlated with GS, PD, or GSPD. The proportions of effusion, synovial hypertrophy, and enthesopathy in 3 different subtypes, showed significant differences (Fisher’s exact test, p=0.037; p=0.004; p=0.019). Enthesopathy was only seen in joints of enthesitis-related arthritis (ERA) but not in joints of polyarthritis and oligoarthritis.Conclusions: MSUS seems to be an acceptable non-invasive tool for JIA, particularly for non-systemic JIA patients, that could assist disease classification, and whose parameters of the indicator joints may potentially contribute to the disease activity evaluation.

Modelling a Research Portfolio Using AHP: A Group Decision Process

The problem of choosing a research portfolio has been in the literature for many years. Suggested solutions have ranged from simple scoring models to complex mathematical resource allocation models, but the acceptance rate has been low. In this paper we present an application of a model based on the Analytical Hierarchy Process to a group decision situation. The results are encouraging, showing the positive nature of a model as a focal point in the process. They show that the interactive nature of the methodology encourages the development of subjective estimates and their subsequent discussion. An attempt to counter the problems of biasing has also been made. The methodology presented is seen to be easy to use and adaptable, and becomes an integrating mechanism for the group.
Strike Incidence and Duration in British Manufacturing Industry in the 1980s

Around 1-in-40 wage settlements involves a strike in British manufacturing during the 1980s. The average strike duration was 12 days. Data kindly made available by the CBI are used to analyse strike incidence, duration and pay changes for some 70000 settlements at the level of the bargaining group. Numerous new findings are reported. For example multi-unionism in a workplace is associated with higher strike incidence and durations than single unionism. And the changes in industrial relations laws during the 1980s are associated with reduced strike incidence and duration. Various strike theories are examined and the evidence suggests that one version of the asymmetric information theory of strikes- that unions know their own strength but that the firm does not have this information- has much to commend it.
