Published: November 2023

Understanding reperfusion damage, raising knowledge of its underlying processes, and creating measures to lessen its negative consequences have all seen significant progress over time. The developing knowledge of the pathophysiological processes, such as oxidative stress, inflammation, calcium excess, and mitochondrial dysfunction, that lead to reperfusion damage. Clinicians may now identify biomarkers and use modern imaging techniques to identify reperfusion damage in its early phases, allowing for prompt treatment and better patient outcomes. Real-time evaluation of tissue viability during reperfusion is now possible thanks to the development of non-invasive monitoring techniques, which supports clinical judgment. The use of pharmaceutical substances that target certain pathways, such as antioxidants, anti-inflammatory substances, and calcium homeostasis regulators. Additionally, cutting-edge approaches like therapeutic hypothermia and remote ischemia conditioning have demonstrated promise in lowering reperfusion damage and enhancing patient prognosis. Our knowledge of the underlying processes has considerably increased thanks to improvements in reperfusion injury recognition and mitigation, which have also created new opportunities for therapeutic intervention. These developments are anticipated to result in more efficient methods for reducing reperfusion damage and eventually enhance patient outcomes in a variety of therapeutic situations via continuing study and cooperation.

Published: November 2023

The most common orthopedic condition affecting senior adults is osteoporosis, which is defined by a decrease in bone mass and strength as well as microstructural degradation that leads to fragility fractures. Bone remodeling is a well-planned, ongoing process that replaces deteriorated, old bone with new, healthy bone. Bone resorption and bone creation work together during the cycle of bone remodeling to preserve the bone’s volume and microarchitecture. The only bone-resorbing cells in the human body, mononuclear preosteoclasts fuse to form osteoclasts, are multinucleated cells. In numerous animal models or epidemiological studies, vitamin E’s anti-osteoporotic characteristics have been extensively described. This review aims to summarize recent developments in vitamin E’s molecular features as a bone-protective agent. In RANKL/RANK/OPG signaling pathway, vitamin E inhibits synthesis of RANKL, stimulation of c-Fos, and increase level of OPG. Vitamin E also inhibits inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6, IL-27, and MCP-1, negative regulating the JAK–STAT, NF-κB, MAPK signaling pathways. Additionally, vitamin E decreases malondialdehyde and increases superoxide dismutase, GPx and heme oxygenase-1, in suppressing osteoclasts. In this article, we aim to give readers the most recent information on the molecular pathways that vitamin E uses to enhance bone health.

Authors: Joyce Malebo Ntsoaki
Published: November 2023

Globally, communities experience food insecurity, highlighting a need for access to food sources that are readily available with nutritional benefits. African leafy vegetables represent a plant-based food source that is rich in nutritional content and health benefits. These vegetables can grow unattended in the wild with minimal agricultural inputs which may negatively affect the environment, highlighting the advantages of their use. However, there is still a need to investigate the nutritional and functional value of these vegetables, focusing on their advantages and limitations before they can be recommended as an alternative food source. The chapter will focus on evaluating peer-reviewed journal articles, book chapters, and other publications to conduct a qualitative review.

Published: November 2023

Spectroscopy is a promising technique for determining nutrients in grasses and may be a valuable tool for future research. This chapter reviews research carried out in recent years, focusing on determining the quality of grasses using spectroscopy techniques, specifically, spectrophotometry. The chemical methods used to determine the nutritional quality of grasses produce chemical residues, are time-consuming, and are costly to use when analyzing large crop extensions. Spectroscopy is a non-destructive technique that can establish the nutritional quality of grass easily and accurately. This chapter aims to describe the techniques focused on the use of spectroscopy and machine learning models to predict and determine the quality of grasses. A bibliographic review was conducted and recent research articles were selected that showed spectroscopic techniques applied to grasses. Different methods and results focusing on the quality of the grasses were compiled. In general, this review showed that the most commonly used spectroscopic method is near-infrared analysis. Spectroscopy is a very effective tool that opens the way to new types of technologies that can be applied to obtain results in determining the quality of pastures, leaving behind the use of traditional methods that represent higher costs and disadvantages compared to traditional methods based on precision agriculture.
Significance of Carotenoids in Traditional Medicines in the Republic of Suriname (South America)
Authors: R.A. Mans Dennis
Published: November 2023

Carotenoids are pigments that produce bright yellow, red, orange, and purple colors in some vegetables and fruits. These compounds play major roles in various critical functions of plants. Carotenoids are also indispensable for humans, exerting antioxidant effects and sustaining both low-light and color vision. The more than 700 different types of carotenoids can be divided into two classes: the carotenes (e.g., β-carotene and lycopene) which do not contain oxygen, and the xanthophylls (e.g., lutein and zeaxanthin) which contain oxygen. In addition, some carotenoids such as β-carotene and α-carotene can be converted by the human body into vitamins A; lutein, zeaxanthin, and lycopene are non-provitamin A carotenoids. The Republic of Suriname (South America) is renowned for its relatively high plant diversity which comprises about 5100 species of higher plants. Several of these plants have a relatively high content of carotenoids and are widely consumed and used as traditional medicines. In this chapter, the traditional uses of eight Surinamese fruits and vegetables rich in carotenoids have been addressed, and the pharmacological support for their traditional uses has comprehensively been dealt with. The chapter concludes with the scientific evidence to justify the traditional uses of the carotenoids in these plants.

Formation and Evolution of the Sarmatia Earth’s Crust (East European Craton): Evidence from the Dnipro-Donets Paleorift
Authors: Bartashchuk Oleksii
Published: November 2023

The East European Craton tectonics was studied based on the reconstruction of the stress field of Sarmatia. The Sarmatia internal plate field is influenced by induction stress from the movements of the Arabia and Scythia plates and the North Atlantic Ridge spreading. Stress from the plate boundaries is transferred inward and absorbed by the movable belts. The role of movable belts in the evolution of the lithosphere is considered on the basis of the Dnieper-Donet Paleorift. At the Hercynian-Alpine collision stage, the rift basin experienced inversion uplift and folding. The change in deformation modes was initiated by displacement of the geodynamic axes by 15° counterclockwise during the epoch with a total of 60° in Phanerozoic. The rift structure was deformed by longitudinal bending on diagonal strike-slips of opposite kinematics and longitudinal elongation on one-sided strike-slips or along the diagonal strike-slips. The framework of the deformations is made up of diagonal sutures form the “Longitudinal Extrusion Orocline” and the “Transverse Spreading Fan”. Consequently the West Donets Covered Folded Region and the Donets Foldbelt were formed and the Paleorift has turned into a movable foldbelt.

Published: November 2023

Cocoa is an important cash crop that contributes to the economy of Nigeria via job creation and foreign exchange earnings. However, escalating global warming trends threatens Cocoa cultivation and have resulted in a decline and heightened variability in Cocoa production in Nigeria, with potential for further exacerbation in the future. A potential way to reduce the warming is through climate intervention (CI) techniques, including Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI), which involves the injection of sulphur into the stratosphere to reflect a small percentage of incoming solar radiation and lower earth’s temperature. To gauge GHG and SAI impact on Cocoa suitability in Nigeria, we used Geoengineering Large Ensemble Simulations (GLENS) dataset as input into Ecocrop model for historical (2011–2030) and future periods (2070–2089). Our results show GHG impact will increase mean and minimum temperatures (up to 3°C) and total monthly rainfall (up to 15 mm) by the end of century in the southwest and north-east area of Nigeria while rainfall decrease of similar magnitude in the other parts of the country. With SAI intervention, rainfall may decrease by about 10–20 mm over the country and reduce mean and minimum temperature by 2°C. Suitable land for Cocoa cultivation in Nigeria may decrease by 24 and 18% under GHG and SAI, respectively, while unsuitable may increase by 14 and 24% by the end of century. Our study has implications for the economies based on Cocoa production in Nigeria.

Authors: Saad Hamza
Published: November 2023

Process mining has become one of the best programs that can outline the event logs of production processes in visualized detail. We have addressed the important problem that easily occurs in the industrial process called Bottleneck. The analysis process was focused on extracting the bottlenecks in the production line to improve the flow of production. Given enough stored history logs, the field of process mining can provide a suitable answer to optimize production flow by mitigating bottlenecks in the production stream. Process mining diagnoses the productivity processes by mining event logs, this can help to expose the opportunities to optimize critical production processes. We found that there is a considerable bottleneck in the process because of the weaving activities. Through discussions with specialists, it was agreed that the main problem in the weaving processes, especially machines that were exhausted in overloading processes. The improvement in the system has been measured by teamwork; the cycle time for processes has improved to 91%. the worker’s performance has improved from 96%, productivity has improved to 91%, product quality has improved by 85%, and lead time has optimized from days and weeks to hours.

This article analyzes Drucilla Cornell’s critical theory as a practice of engaging with radical thinking and radical politics in the interest of revolutionary transformation. Arguing that Walter Benjamin’s imperative to wrest tradition away from conformism is at the heart of Cornell’s work, the article shows how Cornell applies this imperative both to the tradition of resistance against oppression and to critical theory itself. The article follows Cornell’s call to decolonize the critical theoretical project by bringing Surinamese anticolonial activist and writer Anton de Kom, various collectives that participated in the 2022 German art festival documenta 15, and the disobedience of six young Palestinian “Freedom Riders” into conversation with Cornell’s writings on the South African Revolution and on Afro-Caribbean liberatory thought.

Mütekellim Usûlcülerin İstihsân Anlayışı
Authors: CEYLAN Mehmet Nezir
Published: November 2023

Fıkıh usûlünde, müçtehidin belirli bir hukuki meselede genel kurala bağlı kalmadan daha uygun bir çözüm bulma amacıyla icmâ, zaruret, örf, maslahat, gizli kıyas gibi özel ve daha kuvvetli görünen bir delile dayanarak, o meseleye ilişkin genel kuraldan ve ilk akla gelen çözümden vazgeçmesi, istihsân olarak tanımlanmaktadır. İstihsân, bazen genel kuralın gerektirdiği hükümden bir meselenin istisna edilmesiyle gerçekleşirken, bazen de etki bakımından daha kuvvetli olduğu düşünüldüğünde, açık kıyasın hükmünden vazgeçip kapalı kıyasın gerektirdiği hükümle amel etmek şeklinde meydana gelmektedir. Bu delil, Hanefî, Mâlikî ve Hanbelî usûlcüler tarafından kabul edilirken, İmam Şâfiî dâhil olmak üzere Şâfiî usûlcüler tarafından reddedilmiştir. Hanefîlerin istihsânla ilgili görüşlerinin araştırılmasıyla birlikte diğer mezheplerin istihsân anlayışlarının yeterince araştırılmadığı görülmektedir. Mu'tezile’ye ait kaynakların bir kısmında var olan veriler ise onların istihsân hakkındaki görüşlerine vakıf olmamızı zorlaştırmaktadır. Bu çalışmada mütekellim usûlünü benimseyen Mâlikî, Şâfiî, Hanbelî ve Mu‘tezile’nin istihsânın mahiyetiyle ilgili ortaya koydukları görüşler incelenmiş ve bazı değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır. Hanefîler’in istihsân anlayışı gerekli görüldükçe diğer mezheplerin görüşleriyle karşılaştırmalı bir şekilde ele alınmıştır. Araştırmada istihsânın hüccet değeri ve çeşitlerine değinilmemiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı mütekellim usûlcülerin istishân anlayışlarını ana hatlarıyla ortaya koymaktır. Bu çalışmanın kaynakları genellikle hicri dördüncü ve beşinci asır usûl bilginlerinin eserlerinden oluşmaktadır. Bununla birlikte konuyla ilgili muasır âlimlerin görüşlerine de yer verilmiştir.

This paper contextualises a review of literary and legal postulations, including theorems of taxation, the rationale behind its imposition, the conceptual meaning of taxation and revenue, sources of revenue, meaning and conceptualisation of the scope of taxation, an overview of tax administration in Nigeria and forms of taxation in Nigeria. It takes cognisance of the unshakable position of taxation as a panacea for raising the much-needed funds for meeting government’s unending obligations to its citizens. This paper takes a cursory look at the different shades of opinions of legal scholars on the theme of taxation and conducts an expose on the review of the types of taxes chargeable under the Nigerian legal system including the recently introduced hydrocarbon taxes as prescribed by the Petroleum Industry Act 2021. This paper sought to assess and review the limits of opinions and theories of taxation as revenue generation strategic policy in modern day Nigeria and it found that opinions are divided on the effective use of taxes as fund-generating springboard of government and that the various theories of taxation are all at amity regarding the fact that taxes are levied to be paid, not a duty to be avoided or a chore to be loved, it is a mandatory payment, irrespective of the many disincentives for its payment by Nigerian tax payers. It concludes by stating that a government with an efficacious tax policy will have sufficient revenue to meet its obligations and engender tremendous development in its territory and prescribes the need for justiciability of tax payer’s rights to ensue accountability on the side of the government, a systemic harmonization and corroboration from tax authorities and government delegates, in order to achieve an effective tax administration to enhance positive tax compliance.
THE IMPACTS OF THE RAPPROCHEMENT BETWEEN THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ON INTER-KOREAN RELATIONSHIP (1971-1976)
Authors:   , Sun Zhonghua
Published: November 2023

This thesis examines the impacts of the rapprochement between the People’s Republic of China and the United States of America on inter-Korean relationship during 1971-1976. It employs the Game Theory as framework for analysis, particularly, the Prisoner’s Dilemma Game to build a model of the two Korean Leaders’ Dilemma. The central findings of this thesis are: 1) the rapprochement between China and the US objectively provided an opportunity for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and the Republic of Korea to move towards détente. Since the Armistice of Korea War, the first reconciliation between North and South Korea happened in 1971; However, its reconciliation between two Koreas lasted only five years and then broke up again after 1976; 2) by analyzing the matrix of the Two Korean Leaders’ Dilemma, it is shown that maintaining the tension on the Korean Peninsula was the most rational choice to make; 3) after reviewing the historical facts and the cost of reducing tension on the Korean Peninsula, the thesis proves that even though the two Koreas chose to approach each other during 1971-1976, this relationship suffered a setback as a result of the best option of the Two Korea Leaders’ Dilemma which is to maintain in conflict; 4) Applying the Game Model as a heuristic device to analyze conflict in the Korean Peninsula was useful for understanding the current Inter-Korean relationship.
От неолита до ІХ век – паметници на предглаголическата графична култура по българските земи
Authors: Бърлиева Славия
Published: November 2023

FROM THE NEOLITHIC TO THE 9th CENTURY – MONUMENTS OF THE PRE-GLAGOLIC GRAPHIC CULTURE IN THE BULGARIAN LANDS (Summary) The article presents the earliest monuments of written culture from Gradeshnitsa, Karanovo, and Dolnoslav, as well as the use of Greek, Latin and Gothic alphabets. Greek script in inscriptions in the Greek language has been recorded on a large number of epi¬graphic monuments in the Bulgarian lands, spanning more than a millennium. Latin writ¬ten culture came with the creation of the Roman provinces Macedonia, Thrace and Moe¬sia (after 86 AD, Moesia Superior and Moesia Inferior). Geographically, Latin inscrip¬tions, containing public, religious and private texts, were scattered across the Bulgarian territory, having a greater density in the north of Bulgaria. Special attention is given to the Proto-Bulgarian runes and inscriptions as a specific phenomenon of profound significance. An assumption is made that they provided the basis for the Bulgarian literary tradition, laying the groundwork for a new written culture in an own language and letters.
Глаголически следи в България
Authors: Найденова Десислава
Published: November 2023

TRACES OF GLAGOLITIC SCRIPT IN BULGARIA (Summary) Usually, when it comes to the Bulgarian contribution to the Sts Cyril and Methodius’ oeuvre, we are used to think about the Cyrillic alphabet. In the Bulgarian narrative of history the Glagolitic script is almost completely absent at the expense of discussing the significance of the Cyrillic alphabet which was invented in Preslav towards the end of the 9th or the beginning of the 10th century. The neglect of Glagolitic script as a site of memory and as one of the most important traces of Cyrillo-Methodian tradition in mediaeval Bulgaria is at some extent due to a prevailing and long-standing thesis of the prominent Bulgarian scholar Vasil Zlatarski. He established that in 893 a Council was held in Preslav and that one of the decisions of this Council was to replace the Glagolitic script with Cyrillic. However, modern historical, archaeological and philological studies have proved that such a Council has never been held. What is more, but also Cyrillic and Glagolitic script were both known and used by Bulgarian scribes for a long period until the middle of the XIV c. The present article is an attempt to trace the Glagolitic scripts in different monuments – manuscripts and inscriptions, which are important site of memory as concerns the history of the Cyrillo-Methodian tradition and the Bulgarian national identity.
Места на българската памет – Похвално слово за Кирил и Методий и неговите преписи
Authors: Мирчева Бойка
Published: November 2023

PLACES OF BULGARIAN MEMORY – THE EULOGY FOR CYRIL AND METHODIUS AND ITS COPIES (Summary) The Eulogy for Cyril and Methodius is one of the earliest Slavic sources for the life and work of the Slavic apostles. According to the latest data, it has been preserved in 31 copies, created in a wide area and period of time – from the Balkans to the northernmost Russian literary centers and between the 12th and 18th centuries. Its text is an invariable part of the earliest layer of Slavic sources for the two first teachers and bears the marks of a primary author created by immediate witnesses of the time. It is important to note that this is the second Slavic source after the Vita Metodii to preserve the text of Pope Adrian II’s letter to princes Rostislav, Svetopolk and Kotzel, whose Latin original has not reached us. The text in the two sources is different. As an invariable part of the earliest layer of Slavic sources about Cyril and Methodius and their disciples, which invariably accompanies one of the two main Slavic Cyrillo-Methodidian sources – Vita Cyrilli and Vita Metfdii, the Eulogy for Cyril and Methodius is part of the Bulgarian historical, cultural and literary heritage and part of Bulgarian memory for the two Slavic apostels. The purpose of this study is to trace in which and what type of literary environments the text of the Eulogy was copied and where its copies are currently stored. The manner of their formation and their fate over the centuries is of great importance for the nature of the collections in which the copies of the work are kept, for which basic information is given in the article. These data can answer the question of how the text of this work was distributed, why it was preserved in these manuscript collections. The information is summarized and presented in the form of a geographical map, which shows the distribution and influence of the Eulogy among the southern and eastern Slavs.

CYRIL AND METHODIUS BY STOYAN MIKHAYLOVSKI AS A MEDIUM OF MEMORY. Canon – Context – Crypt (Summary) The paper raises the question of memory in and memory of the most famous Bulgarian literary work dedicated to St. St. Cyril and Methodius, that is the poem Cyril and Methodius by Stoyan Mihaylovski (1892). The aim is to trace the complex fate of the work in Bulgarian culture in two additional contexts: the role of the Cyrillo-Methodian tradition in modern Bulgarian culture and the place of Mihaylovski in the canon of Bulgarian literature. The starting point is the research on the topic by a Polish expert in the field of Bulgarian studies, Grażyna Szwat-Gyłybowa. The methodological framework is based on the concepts of Aleida and Jan Assmann, as well as Astrid Erll, as the idea is to unfold the hermeneutic potential of the category of a medium of memory. The analysis of the hymn Cyril and Methodius, in terms of both the history of its reception and the function of the Cyrillo-Methodian tradition, problematizes its status as a cultural text, and contribute to the question of the religious in the discourse of the Bulgarian cultural and scientific elites.

Published: November 2023

An important factor for increasing the effectiveness of the PVD (Prefabricated Vertical Drains) is the value of sufficient discharge capacity so that the PVD can work optimally. The use of PVD is usually accompanied by the use of PHD (Prefabricated Horizontal Drains) as horizontal drainage and combined with preloading. In the field, the connection is made by winding the PVD to the PHD and then tying it with cable ties. The connection system can cause deformation at the top of the PVD thereby reducing the effectiveness of the PVD discharge capacity. This study aims to find the optimal PVD-PHD connection system for the discharge capacity which is affected by confinement pressure, overburden pressure, and hydraulic gradient with a PVD-PHD connection system discharge capacity tester. The test specimens used were PVD (5mm thick; 100mm wide) and Ph.D. (20 mm thick; wide: 100 mm, 200mm, and 300mm). 4 types of connection systems have been tried, namely connections A1 and A2 where the PHD is connected in a horizontal position, and connections B1 and B2 where the PHD is connected in a vertical position. Of the four connection systems B1, the connection system has the largest discharge capacity value and a significant increase in PHD width from 100 mm to 300 mm with an increase of 7.694% at 50 kPa overburden pressure and 1.0 hydraulic gradient the highest compared to other connection types

In this study, the number of children diagnosed with K02 dental caries and the number of children receiving dental caries treatment across all ages have increased. However, the number of children aged 10 to 14 who received pulp treatment or extraction has decreased. In the National Survey of Children’s Oral Health, the decay-missing-filled teeth index for 5- and 12-year-olds has stagnated or increased slightly, but the percentage of the population with active dental caries has decreased. Accessibility and local environments for dental caries treatment have generally improved compared to the past, but preventive dental care has stagnated over the past decade. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of oral health programs implemented in Korea to promote and prevent dental caries among children.

This study aims to investigate changes in dental service use among pediatric patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis was performed by collecting information about the number of visits, age, gender, diagnoses, and treatments for patients at the Pediatric Dentistry Department of Seoul National University Dental Hospital from January 2017 to December 2022. Compared with the period from 2017 to 2019, the total number of visits decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a substantial decline in 2020. Patients in all age groups, except those aged 10 - 14, experienced decreased visits, and there was no significant gender difference. Z29.8 (need for other specified prophylactic measures) declined in all age groups, especially among those aged 0 - 4, except for those 20 years and older. K02.1 (caries of dentine) was sought by the age groups in the following order: 10 - 14, 15 - 19, 5 - 9, and 0 - 4 years, with the most significant decrease in the 0 - 4 years age group compared to others. K07.4 (malocclusion, unspecified) decreased in younger groups aged 9 and below but increased in older groups aged 10 and above. During the period from 2020 to 2022, preventive, restorative, pulp, and trauma treatments decreased, but surgical and orthodontic treatments increased compared with the previous three years. The use of sedation decreased and general anesthesia increased during COVID-19 compared to pre-pandemic. This study describes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on pediatric dentistry, making it a valuable reference for future pandemics.
Prosthetic Treatment Strategies for Improving Denture Retention in Pediatric Patients with Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia: a Report of Two Cases
Authors: Jeon Hongju , Kim Seonmi , Choi Namki
Published: November 2023

This report presents two cases concerning strategies for improving denture retention in pediatric patients with oligodontia caused by hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED). Both patients presented with multiple missing teeth, conical canines, alveolar bone atrophy, and a skeletal Class III tendency. In the first case, a modified form of conical-crown-retained denture was used to cover the canines. This approach was carried out without tooth extraction or coping. In the second case of severe alveolar bone resorption and a distally tilted lower left canine, the tooth was restored with a hybrid ceramic crown. It was subsequently converted into a clasp-retained removable partial denture, utilizing a suction mechanism. Both patients are currently receiving regular check-ups for the maintenance of their prosthetic appliances and the evaluation of their growth patterns. This study presents innovative prosthetic treatment methods for pediatric patients with HED who have inadequate denture retention.

Understanding investors behaviors during the COVID-19 outbreak using Twitter sentiment analysis
Authors: Nguyen Phuong , Dev Abhishek
Published: November 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic caused stock price volatility and a market crash in 2020. Such events were an opportunity to gain insights into investor psychology. We sought to examine investors behaviors during the COVID-19 outbreak by analyzing the correlation between COVID-19-related tweet sentiment and stock price movements. The analysis was done at three levels: the stock market, the industry sector, and individual company stocks. We hypothesized that the investors would initially underestimate the health risk associated with the pandemic, but as time progressed, acknowledge the health risk and start panic selling. By analyzing the correlation between tweet sentiment and stock prices, we discovered that after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), investors displayed a tendency to disregard the health risk, coinciding with an increase in stock prices. However, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warning and the pandemic declaration coincided with a period during which investors may have displayed a sense of apprehension, with the stock prices declining at the same time. To validate the sentiment analysis results, we also identified the most-used words in tweets and analyzed the correlation between tweet features and stock prices. Our work showed that, along with economic variables, behavioral factors like investor sentiment help explain the market’s behavior. Our work also highlighted the value of using a mixed methods approach to study complex processes in the real world.
