Abstract ATP Tennis stands for the “The Association of Tennis Professionals” which is the primary governing body for male tennis players. ATP was formed in Sep 1972 for professional tennis players. A study has been done on tennis players’ datasets to implement supervised machine learning techniques to illustrate match data and make predictions. An appropriate dataset has been chosen, data cleaning has been implemented to extract anomalies, data is visualized via plotting methods in R language and supervised machine learning models applied. The main models applied are linear regression and decision tree. Results and predictions have been extracted from the applied models. In the linear regression model, the correlation is calculated to find the relation between dependent and independent variables, furthermore the results and prediction are extracted from the linear regression model. Also, three hypotheses are applied for multiple linear regression model. The decision tree modeled the best of 3 or best of 5 sets of matches and predicted which set of matches would be considered best. Keywords: Machine Learning, supervised learning, linear regression, decision tree, R language, Tennis, ATP.

Published: November 2022

Abstract The use of unconventional edible plants in human food has grown more widespread in recent years, driven mainly by gourmet dishes. Evidence of the food properties of these species is still scarce. Aiming to obtain more in-depth knowledge of dahlia plants, this study aimed to evaluate the nutritional, bioactive, and antinutritional properties of the edible parts of purple dahlia (tuberous root and flower) to elucidate their value and safety as foods. The percent composition, caloric value, pH, Total Soluble Solids (TSS), Total Titratable Acidity (TTA), ratio of TSS to TTA, anthocyanins, carotenoids, vitamin C, total phenolics, tannins, nitrates, and minerals of the roots and flowers were analyzed. The inulin content in the root and the color of the flower were also evaluated. The results were reported as mean and standard deviation, and exploratory factor analysis was performed. Both parts of the dahlia had constituents that contribute to a good diet at concentrations like those in conventional vegetables, whereas the antinutritional components were also compatible with those of commonly consumed foods, with acceptable dietary values. Thus, it is evident that purple dahlia flowers and roots have potential for use in human food and can be considered good options to improve and diversify a healthy diet.

Reinforcement Learning from Optimization Proxy for Ride-Hailing Vehicle Relocation
Authors: Yuan Enpeng , Chen Wenbo , Van Hentenryck Pascal
Published: November 2022

Idle vehicle relocation is crucial for addressing demand-supply imbalance that frequently arises in the ride-hailing system. Current mainstream methodologies - optimization and reinforcement learning - suffer from obvious computational drawbacks. Optimization models need to be solved in real-time and often trade off model fidelity (hence quality of solutions) for computational efficiency. Reinforcement learning is expensive to train and often struggles to achieve coordination among a large fleet. This paper designs a hybrid approach that leverages the strengths of the two while overcoming their drawbacks. Specifically, it trains an optimization proxy, i.e., a machine-learning model that approximates an optimization model, and then refines the proxy with reinforcement learning. This Reinforcement Learning from Optimization Proxy (RLOP) approach is computationally efficient to train and deploy, and achieves better results than RL or optimization alone. Numerical experiments on the New York City dataset show that the RLOP approach reduces both the relocation costs and computation time significantly compared to the optimization model, while pure reinforcement learning fails to converge due to computational complexity.

RILEM TC 277-LHS report: lime-based mortars for restoration–a review on long-term durability aspects and experience from practice
Authors: Groot Caspar , Veiga Rosario , Papayianni Ioanna , Van Hees Rob , Secco Michele , Alvarez José I. , Faria Paulina , Stefanidou Maria
Published: November 2022

For conservation interventions of historic masonry generally lime-based mortars such as pure air lime mortars, lime-pozzolan mortars, natural hydraulic lime mortars and ternary mortars (lime-pozzolan-cement) are used. The main reason is that their hygric and mechanical (strength and ductility) performance are easy to adapt to most existing historic masonry (compatibility requirements). Although the basic appropriateness of lime-based mortars for restoration is undisputed, there are also some limitations in the application of these mortars. In this report a review is given of the theoretical backgrounds and further of laboratory research developments in the field of lime-based binders and mortars over the past decades. Furthermore, practical experiences in positive and negative sense (damage cases) are elaborated. Drawbacks and points of attention are being dealt with, which are essential for a durable application of lime-based mortars for the conservation of historic masonry. In general, it is concluded that points of attention should be addressed through a thorough evaluation of their potential and through testing of their suitability. For these mortars, even more than for modern cement-based mortars, specifically, environmental exposure conditions and application conditions should be considered.
The Effects of Outward FDI to the EU on Korea's Trade
Authors:   The Korea International Trade Research Institute, Ahn Sehwa , Yoon Seung-Hwan
Published: November 2022

Purpose - Existing studies on the relationship between FDI from home countries and their trade present contradictory analysis results. Against this backdrop, this study attempts to answer the question of how Korea's FDI to the EU has affected Korea’s trade.
Design/Methodology/Approach - Excluding seven countries in which Korea’s outward FDI has been almost zero, this study constructs the panel dataset from 2000 to 2021 for 21 European countries and analyzes the relationship between outward FDI and trade (export and import) using Pooled OLS, Random Effect, and GLS (Generalized Least Square).
Findings - FDI shows a statistically significant positive (+) value, indicating that Korea's FDI to the 21 European countries increased Korea's exports. However, the relationship between FDI and imports could not be clearly determined due to the lack of statistical significance for imports. Contrary to what was expected, the FTA shows a statistically negative sign, which seems to reflect the reality that it is still recording a trade deficit with the EU, even though it has been 11 years since it entered into force.
Research Implications - Considering that Korea's FDI to the EU has a positive effect on exports, it is necessary to establish a strategy to strengthen the complementarity of FDI and trade. If Korea's exports are continuously expanded through FDI, production and employment will increase accordingly, creating a virtuous cycle that can increase FDI and trade.

Authors: Merino Moreno Carlos , Consuegra Ariza Ignacio
Published: November 2022

El comportamiento innovador de las organizaciones se convierte en un requerimiento fundamental para el actual contexto de la economía del conocimiento. Factores como el avance científico y tecnológico, la globalización, las redes y la sostenibilidad se integran en un frente de elementos externos que es preciso manejar estratégica y operativamente. En este frente se encuentra la economía circular como exponente de innovación sostenible que necesita modelos organizativos en los que fluya el conocimiento como activo para generar las denominadas eco-innovaciones. Este manejo del conocimiento requiere de ejercicios de modelización en lo que se ha venido llamando modelos de gestión del conocimiento, cuya utilidad no se centra en el conocimiento per se, es decir, en aumentar los conocimientos de las personas de la organización, sino en impactar los retos y objetivos estratégicos que en este caso tienen un perfil innovador desde el enfoque “eco” aportando soluciones al paradigma de la mencionada economía circular. En tal sentido, este artículo presenta un planteamiento clarificador del rol que juega una adecuada gestión del conocimiento en el desarrollo de eco-innovaciones generando un esquema específico denominado “pirámide de la eco-innovación” que sirva de marco de referencia para potenciar un comportamiento eco-innovador en las organizaciones que desean progresar en una propuesta de valor dentro de los parámetros de la Economía Circular.

Authors: Ofei-Dodoo Samuel , Irwin Gretchen , Wright Brynn , Krohn Kimberly , Williams Kimberly , Dooley Philip , Duggins Maurice
Published: November 2022

INTRODUCTION. Burnout among resident physicians has been an area of concern that predates the COVID-19 pandemic. With the significant turmoil during the pandemic, this study examined resident physicians’ burnout, depression, anxiety, and stress as well as the benefits of engaging in activities related to  wellness, mindfulness, or mental wellbeing.
METHODS. The authors conducted a cross-sectional survey of 298 residents from 13 residency programs sponsored by the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita, in October and November 2021. Authors used a 31-item questionnaire to measure levels of burnout, depression, anxiety, and stress. A mixed method approach was used to collect, analyze, and interpret the data. Descriptive statistics, One-way ANOVA/Kruskal-Wallis tests, adjusted odds ratios (aOR), and immersion-crystallization methods were used to analyze the data.
RESULTS. There was a 52% response rate, with 65.8% (n=102) of the respondents reporting manifestations of burnout. Those who reported at least one manifestation of burnout experienced a higher level of emotional exhaustion (aOR=6.73; 95% CI, 2.66-16.99; P<.01), depression (aOR=1.21; 95% CI, 1.04-1.41; P=.01), anxiety (aOR=1.14; 95% CI, 1.00-1.30; P=.04), and stress (aOR=1.36; 95% CI, 1.13-1.64; P<.01). Some wellness activities respondents engaged in included regular physical activities, meditation and yoga, support from family and friends, religious activities, time away from work, and counseling sessions.
CONCLUSIONS. The findings suggest the COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose a significant and worsening prevalence of burnout and other negative mental health effects on residents. Appropriate wellness and mental health support initiatives are needed to help resident physicians thrive in the health care environment.
A Qualitative Study of Traditional Bone Setters in South India: A Case Series
Authors: Isaacs-Pullins Sharon , Vaz Manjulika , Murthy Hariram , Hughes Dorothy , Kallail K. James
Published: November 2022

INTRODUCTION. There are approximately 70,000 Traditional Bone Setters (TBS) in India, who have no formal education or training in modern medicine but treat approximately 60% of bone related trauma. This study investigated the history of TBS, why they are so popular, and their methods.
METHODS. From a list of TBS from four states in South India, a purposive and convenience sampling method identified participants. One lead TBS from each state was interviewed. With recommendations from these TBS, a total of six participants were interviewed on Zoom® in their native dialect and these interviews were transcribed into English. The data were analyzed using a constant comparative method which included several iterations to refine common themes and determine counterfactual and specific focal points from each interview.
RESULTS. Six overarching themes emerged: (1) history of traditional bone setters, (2) occupations outside bone setting, (3) training, certification, education, accolades, (4) patient characteristics and success stories, (5) infrastructure and approach to diagnosis/treatment, and (6) limitations of practice, challenges, and social relevance. The history of traditional bone setting is thousands of years old and passed down within families generationally.
CONCLUSIONS. In rural India, where a large part of the population lives in poverty and without access to modern medicine, traditional healers provide a much-needed service, often without charge, and consequently, the income is not sufficient without other occupations such as farming. They follow a similar approach to diagnosis and treatment of simple fractures and dislocations as modern medical practitioners. Most would like to share their knowledge and collaborate with ayurvedic and allopathic practitioners and simply want to be respected and supported.

Published: November 2022

Introduction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate quadriceps strength and knee function after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using a quadriceps tendon bone (QTB) autograft.
Methods. Preliminary data were extracted from an ongoing prospective cohort study in which the operative extremity was compared to non-operative extremity. Patients from 14 to 40 years of age who had an ACL reconstruction with QTB autograft volunteered to have knee assessment including quadriceps isokinetic strength measures and functional knee testing at 6 and 12 months postoperatively. Paired t-tests were conducted to compare postoperative strength and function scores on participants who had minimum 1-year post-surgical follow-up.
Results. Patients had a significant recovery of quadriceps strength as determined by isokinetic testing and single leg hop test. For 31 participants, quadriceps strength of the operative leg measured at 60 deg/sec was 63% of the non-operative leg at 6 months, increasing to 79% at 1 year (p < 0.001); when measured at 180 deg/sec, these values were 68% at 6 months, increasing to 82% at 1 year (p < 0.001). For 30 participants, single leg hop functional scores of the operative leg were 80% of the non-operative leg at 6 months, increasing to 91% at 1 year (p < 0.001).
Conclusions. After QTB autograft for ACL reconstruction, there were significant gains in quadriceps strength and knee function from 6 months to 1 year postoperative. These findings indicate the QTB is an acceptable ACL reconstruction option.

The organic management of Theobroma cacao in agroforestry systems is a viable alternative, which is being applied in the Alborada Estate under the name of Mendis Organic Management (MOM) in honor of the researcher and owner of the experimental area. The MOM technology integrates a set of techniques according to the physiological cycle of the plant such as drastic annual pruning, application of compost, foliar biofertilizer, and the use of a variety of cocoa with high planting density. Therefore, the research evaluated the effect of MOM management on soil quality with cocoa plantations (varieties CCN-51 and CMP-15), under agroforestry system developed in the Alborada farm, Leoncio Prado province, Huanuco, Peru. A completely randomized design (CRD) was carried out, the treatments were cocoa areas: CCN-51 of 2x2 m and 10 years of installation (MOM1), CMP-15 of 2x2 m and 4 years (MOM2), CMP-15 of 2x1 m and 5 years (MOM3), CMP-15 of 3x2 m and 13 years (MOM4). Soil physical and chemical indicators were evaluated. All indicators showed significant differences between treatments, the principal component analysis (PCA) considered relevant the sand fraction, clay, OM, N, Ca2+, Mg2+, K+ and CEC, the modeling shows a negative impact in MOM2 and significantly positive in MOM4, regardless of the variety and planting density, observing significant increases for pH, OM, N, P, Ca2+, Ma2+ and CEC. The work shows the great potential of MOM management as a technological alternative to improve soil quality in cocoa plantations under agroforestry systems.

Children are involved in various forms of social interactions, experiences, and the setting of environments in outdoor play areas that support children’s socio-emotional growth. It is necessary because the environment leaves a memorable experience for children. Other than that, it is crucial for their training and physical coordination. In addition, children’s emotional and social skills were indirectly assessed. This paper intends to incorporate an outdoor environment in preschools to meet the socio-emotional developmental needs of preschool children. Preschools located in Peninsular Malaysia were considered to be discussed in this paper. Conducting interviews with four teachers from various types of preschools can provide an initial picture of the external environment development in preschools. Early experiences of external environment interactions and the presence of social interactions with teachers and peers in preschool often impact the children’s learning experience. Two conclusions from the research findings guide the discussion on how the relationships of the preschools’ outdoor environment can foster the preschoolers’ socio-emotional growth. First, they acquire social and emotional competence with a combination of different experiences through shared or solitary experiences. Second, it was found that a variety of outdoor games with engaging spaces that offer attractions imminently stimulates game-based learning in contributing to the socio-emotional competence of preschoolers.

Building conservation is generally an effort to preserve and maintain a cultural and natural heritage to prolong its entire life so it can be enjoyed to our new generations. One of the popular conservation approaches used around the world is adaptive reuse. As part of the agendas in Sustainable Development Goal 2030 by the United Nation Development Program, the adaptive reuse approach can save resources by using new building materials and land use planning in construction and development. The rows of heritage buildings such as the old shophouses can be found easily in old town centres and some of these stocks are under threat of destruction due to negligence. The purpose of this study is to identify the building conservation approach carried out on the old shophouses in Jalan Mendaling, Bandar Kajang and to identify their retained original function. A survey was done to the identified location which was firstly initiated with a preliminary study of the related theory. Content analysis was also performed to obtain adaptive reuse strategies that suit the building typology. A total of 36 old shophouse buildings located on the road have been identified for their building design, type of business, functional change and facade renovation. The results of the analysis found that 78% or most of the subjects still retain their original function as business premises although most of them have changed the original business form and underwent a transformation of architecture from their original design. The original function can be seen on the ground level but on the upper floor has undergone a change of use. It was also found that the old shophouses that were left empty mostly needed a suitable business strategy as the location of the building in Jalan Mendaling is on the main traffic route of the Kajang City.

Published: November 2022

The article analyses the proliferation of narratives about Covid-19 as an orchestrated political event among female lifestyle influencers on Czech Instagram. As the Covid-19 pandemic turned even the most basic everyday activities into politically loaded questions, the boundaries between lifestyle, domestic, and political content posted by influencers became increasingly blurred. The article explores this process of “politicisation of the domestic” with a focus on (a) the gendered character of influencer communities on Instagram, (b) the process of authority building within the newly politicised and gendered spaces, and (c) the post-socialist socio-political context of the Czech Republic that frames current political events by symbolic references to a totalitarian past. Empirically, the article builds on data collected using digital ethnography and ethnographic content analysis of selected Czech female lifestyle influencers’ Instagram profiles.
Bread and Plots: Conspiracy Theories and the Rhetorical Style of Political Influencer Communities on YouTube
Authors: Wurst Christina
Published: November 2022

Based on the assumption that social media encourages a populist style of politics in online communities and the proposition that populism and conspiracy theories tend to co-occur, this article investigates whether this holds true for YouTube influencers, particularly on the less investigated left-wing spectrum. The article provides qualitative case studies of four different groups of political content creators on YouTube whose content makes use of or analyzes popular culture. The article concludes that a populist style plays a far less central role in left-wing communities on YouTube than on other platforms or within right-wing communities.
Russian revolution of 1917 as interpreted by Ivan Ilyin and the eurasianists: two vectors of russian conservative journalism in the 1920s and 1930s
Authors: Demin Ilya V.
Published: November 2022

The article provides a comparative analysis of two interpretations of the Russian Revolution presented in the journalistic works of Ivan Ilyin and the Eurasianists. Both Ilyin and the Eurasianists saw the spiritual origins and prerequisites of the revolution in the mindset of the Russian pre-revolutionary society, primarily the Russian intelligentsia. Sharing a common attitude towards the value primacy of national identity, Ilyin and the Eurasianists radically differed in their assessments of the essence and prospects of Russian Bolshevism. This discrepancy is explained by the inconsistency of fundamental historical presumptions. Eurasianists considered the Soviet State a continuation of the centuries-old history of Russia-Eurasia. In turn, Ilyin saw in the Russian Revolution a catastrophic break in historical continuity.

THE FIRST NORTH CAROLINA GEOLOGICAL MAPS: DENISON OLMSTED AND ELISHA MITCHELL, 1821–1842
Authors: SMITH MICHAEL S. , WITT ANNE CARTER
Published: November 2022

The first state-sponsored geological maps for North Carolina were produced by Denison Olmsted and Elisha Mitchell and reflect the development of geologic thought, as well as the practical applications to which geology was being applied, at the beginning of the 19th century in the eastern United States. Despite Merrill’s (1964) dismissal of their mapping and descriptions as too general and of a reconnaissance approach, all studies of nature must have a starting point.

Prior to the underfunded geological survey of North Carolina, the evaluation and location of natural resources in the eastern United States was spotty and often never reported. Although only the Mitchell (1829a) county-scale geological map of the gold regions of the North Carolina Piedmont garnered widespread dissemination as a result of the publicity surrounding the gold ‘boom’ in the region, the publication of the Olmsted (1825a, 1827) and Mitchell (1828a, 1829b) geological survey reports provided publicly available details and descriptions.

Mitchell continued as a behind-the-scenes advocate for geological investigations in North Carolina even after the closing of the North Carolina geological survey in 1827. His travels, investigations, and observations culminated in his 1842 textbook and its accompanying geological map. Although this geological map still continued to use modified Wernerian stratigraphic terminology, the descriptive text on the units and their interrelationships indicated a continuing evolution of thought on the geological history of the state. The 1842 map continued to be used until at least 1877, when W. C. Kerr (1827–1885) and the 3rd North Carolina Geological Survey undertook a more detailed and comprehensive investigation (and mapping) of the geological framework of North Carolina (Holmes 1887).

Thus, two men from very different backgrounds (both Yale, AB, 1813) and interests, and mainly self-taught in the geological sciences, provided the first steps in the description and mapping of North Carolina’s natural resources. Compared to the accomplishments of the later geological surveys, their work was limited in scope and detail. But, for North Carolina geology, and that of the southeastern United States, they were the forerunners in the field.
GENDER, PLACE AND THE VALIDATION OF KNOWLEDGE: THE TRANSNATIONAL DEBATE ABOUT THE EFFECTS OF THE CHILEAN EARTHQUAKES OF 1822 AND 1835 ON LAND ELEVATION
Authors: GÁNDARA-CHACANA NATALIA
Published: November 2022

This article focuses on the transnational debate on the effects of earthquakes on land elevation after the seismic events in Chile in 1822 and 1835. It explores two main ideas. First, it examines how the Chilean territory became a transnational testing ground for geological theories about land elevation in the 1820s and 1830s. Second, it explores how social features such as gender, place and a scientist’s personal connections affected the validation of scientific knowledge. It introduces a wide network of actors, from well-known figures in the geological field, such as Charles Lyell, Charles Darwin and George B. Greenough, to lesser-known actors, such as Peruvian mineralogist Mariano de Rivero and British travel writer Maria Graham. By doing so, this paper addresses the social dimension of science-making, highlighting the asymmetries of power in knowledge circulation in global scientific networks in the mid-nineteenth century.

BACKGROUND: Vitiligo is a multifactorial acquired disease characterized by the appearance of depigmented, clearly delineated patches, on various areas on the skin. Narrowband Ultraviolet B Therapy is a first-line therapy for nonsegmental vitiligo. At the same time, it often takes at least 6 months to achieve optimal results, which is not always convenient for patients, brings additional financial costs of treatment. Therefore, in most cases to reduce the number of phototherapy sessions requires the use of additional drugs aimed at stopping the progression of the process and with a minimal spectrum of side effects.
AIM: to compare the effectiveness of azathioprine in combination with NB-UVB and NB-UVB monotherapy in progressive non-segmental vitiligo.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 60 patients with advanced non-segmental vitiligodivided into two groups of 30 people in each. Group A patients received therapy with azathioprine in combination with NB-UVB, and Group B patients ― NB-UVB monotherapy. VASI (Vitiligo Area Scoring Index) and DLQI (Dermatology Life Quality Index) were used for all patients to evaluate therapy efficacy.
RESULTS: All 60 patients diagnosed with nonsegmental progressive vitiligo completed the study and were included in the final analysis. Among patients who received the combined therapy protocol of azathioprine combined with narrowband phototherapy, a statistically more significant reduction in the severity and prevalence of the skin process was noted compared to the group of patients who received NB-UVB alone. More significant arresting of disease progression was noticed: in group A, among 30 patients, only 4 patients developed new lesions of vitiligo within 6 months of therapy, and in group B ― in 11 out of 30 patients. Group A patients showed a more significant reduction of VASI and DLQI compared to the control group.
CONCLUSION: Thus, the combination of NB-UVB and azathioprine in the treatment of non-segmental vitiligo showed great efficacy in arresting and reducing of the disease activity, prevalence and severity of vitiligo. Azathioprine is well tolerated by patients and has a low spectrum of side effects, which allows its successful use to stabilize vitiligo and stimulate repigmentation of foci.
