Approach to Data Science with Multiscale Information Theory
Authors: Nawaz Shahid , Saleem Muhammad , Kusmartsev F. V. , Anjum Dalaver H.
Published: December 2023

Data science is a multidisciplinary field that plays a crucial role in extracting valuable insights and knowledge from large and intricate datasets. It has the potential to drive accurate predictions and enhance decision-making capabilities across various domains, including finance, marketing, healthcare, and scientific disciplines. In this paper, we developed a multiscale entropy dynamic (MED) methodology that is applicable to the field of data science. As an example, we apply this methodology to the data science framework of a large and intricate quantum mechanical system composed of particles. Our research demonstrates that the dynamic and probabilistic nature of such systems can be effectively addressed using the proposed MED approach. Through this approach, we are able to describe the system's dynamics in a multiscale form of equation of motion which turned out to be a general form of the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation (NSE). It becomes the conventional linear Schrödinger equation for the case of smallest size particles, namely electrons, and quite expectedly nonlinear Schrödinger equation for the cases of quasi-particles, such as plasmons, polarons, and solitons. By employing this innovative approach, we pave the way for a deeper understanding of quantum mechanical systems and their behaviors within complex materials.
Improved Cosine Similarity Measures for q-Rung Orthopair Fuzzy Sets
Authors: Ünver Mehmet
Published: December 2023

In this paper, we introduce some novel cosine similarity measures for \(q\)-rung orthopair fuzzy sets (\(q\)-ROFSs), which capture both direction and magnitude aspects of fuzzy set representations. Traditional cosine similarity measures focus solely on the direction (cosine of the angle) between vectors, neglecting the crucial information embedded in the lengths of these vectors. This limitation results in a similarity measure of \(1\) whenever the vector representations of the components of \(q\)-ROFSs overlap with a height difference. To address this limitation, we propose some improved cosine similarity measures, which extend the conventional cosine similarity by incorporating a lengths difference control term. We prove that the similarity measure is equal to one if and only if the \(q\)-ROFSs are identical. These measures not only outperform traditional cosine similarity measures for \(q\)-ROFSs but also improve the existing cosine similarity measures for intuitionistic fuzzy sets and Pythagorean fuzzy sets, making it a valuable addition to the fuzzy set cosine similarity measures. These similarity measures are defined as the average and Choquet integral of two components: the first component quantifies the cosine similarity between \(q\)-ROFS \(A\) and \(B\) at each element \(x_j\). The second component represents the difference in lengths between the vector representations of \(A\) and \(B\) at the same element \(x_j\). This length-difference term ensures that the measures are sensitive to variations in both direction and magnitude, making them particularly suitable for applications where both aspects are significant. The measure derived through the Choquet integral also takes into account the interaction among the elements, thereby enhancing the sensitivity of solutions in various applications.
Measuring the Deviations from Perfect Competition: International Evidence
Authors: Razzak Weshah
Published: December 2023

We use aggregated macroeconomic data for 43 countries to test the microeconomic condition for Perfect Competition, whereby the price level is equal to the marginal cost in the long run. We postulate two forms of Perfect Competition in the macro data: a weaker-form and a stronger-form. The former exists if the price level and the marginal cost share a common long-run trend; i.e., cointegrated. The latter exists if the market price and the marginal cost are _equal _in the long run.
Variability in Psychological Security Among Individuals and Groups: An Evolutionary and Developmental Perspective
Authors: Han Shu , Yin Bin , Su Yanjie
Published: December 2023

Rooted in our evolutionary past, psychological security, encompassing cognition, emotion, behavior, and physiology, plays a critical role in shaping human interactions and individual well-being. This manuscript delves into the intricate tapestry of individual and group variations in psychological security, underscoring the influences of genetic makeup, evolutionary trajectories of groups, unique developmental experiences, and prevailing environmental cues. Of particular note is the paper’s exploration of how these determinants engender distinct stress responses and adaptive coping strategies across populations. Delving deeper into the symbiotic relationships between environmental contexts, cultural norms, and genetic predispositions, we elucidate the multifarious determinants of disparities in psychological security across groups and individuals. Moving beyond the theoretical, we also shed light on the overarching societal ramifications of these findings, advocating for informed approaches in spheres ranging from intimate partnerships and familial upbringing to organizational leadership and crisis management. Collectively, these insights not only enrich our comprehension of psychological security from an evolutionary standpoint but also empower stakeholders to enhance holistic well-being, elevate life quality, and champion a more inclusive societal fabric.
Catecholaminergic Neuron Electron Transport (CNET): A Neural Signaling Mechanism
Authors: Rourk Christopher
Published: December 2023

[001] The neural mechanism responsible for action selection and initiation for specific actions remains elusive. The CNET neural signaling mechanism hypothesis for action selection and initiation was first proposed in 2018 based on available evidence at that time, and made predictions about additional phenomena that should be present if the hypothesis was correct, as well as suggestions for how to test for them. Since that time, substantial evidence of four core components of CNET have been obtained. First it has been shown that high-energy triplet state electrons are generated from dopamine in large SNc dopamine neuron soma by chemiexcitation, which must be dissipated by some mechanism to protection the neurons. Second, it has been shown that the electrons can tunnel through ferritin structures that exist inside of and between large SNc dopamine neuron soma. Third, it has been demonstrated that post-synaptic activity at axon synapses of large SNc dopamine neurons depolarizes the axon membrane, promotes action potentials and provides an electromotive force for routing the tunneling electrons. Fourth, it has been shown that iron release that would be caused by the tunneling electrons interacting with ferritin at the target large SNc dopamine neuron(s) can promote calcium signaling and action potentials in those neurons. Thus, while tests to obtain direct evidence of a connection between the CNET neural signaling mechanism and action selection and initiation have not yet been conducted, this growing body of evidence of associated physical phenomena that are predicted by the CNET hypothesis indicates the need for such testing.
From the poor’s ‘faint traces’ of memory to their punctuated presence: The extraordinary archetypal case of Rabito’s Terra matta
Authors: Zappalà Gianni
Published: December 2023

Vincenzo Rabito’s _Terra matta,_ published posthumously by Italian publishing house, Einaudi, in 2007, almost 40 years after being typewritten by its author is one of the most extraordinary cases of 20th century Life writing ‘from below’. In 2022, Einaudi published another more fictionalised version of his autobiography based on a second typescript, _Il romanzo della vita passata_. As an autodidact, Rabito was the first ‘writer’ in his lineage to document his life using an unconventional language and grammar, a hybrid of Sicilian dialect, Italian and oral vernacular via a peculiar and unique use of the typewriter. A peasant and worker, Rabito sees himself ceaselessly pitted against fate yet retains an uncanny understanding of his own agency to shape and determine his life. While ‘Life writing’ is a commercially and viable genre for well-known cultural, political, or sporting celebrities, rarely does ‘peasant’ or ‘vernacular’ writing, attract widespread attention in both scholarly and popular spheres. Exceptionally, Rabito’s life narratives enjoyed unexpected literary, historical, and commercial success after their publication, followed by several theatre and film adaptations, together with a dedicated online website, becoming a cultural phenomenon.

This paper focuses on how we can account for Rabito’s unexpected success. The main factors include: the historiographical contribution of Rabito’s writings – a ‘history from below’ of some of the key socio-political and cultural events of Italian society throughout the 20th century; Rabito’s literary style, with its forceful, ironic, hybrid language, overlayed with the epic patterns of the oral storytelling traditions and puppet shows of Sicily; and the cultural and symbolic value the texts and books have accrued from their origins as unconventional yet award-winning typescripts that were able to open doors in artistic and literary circles not usually afforded to personal memoirs ‘from below’. Finally, the paper suggests that the success, impact, and significance of Rabito’s narrative rests on its intrinsic _archetypal_ and mythological character. Rabito’s story resonates because he so capably articulates in an almost alchemical manner his own transformation as the society around him transformed. As an unlikely and almost unwilling ‘hero’, he depicts the psychological journey and rite of passage of individuation. An archetypal perspective not only helps account for Rabito’s surprising success but provides a mode to better understand, analyse and illuminate its story and that of its main protagonist. An archetypal approach may also offer a framework for a deeper understanding of Life writing in general.

The Fulbright Program is the United States’ flagship educational exchange program. Since 1946, the program has been heralded as a program that promotes mutual understanding across cultures. However, the Fulbright Program’s role as a U.S. Department of State initiative warrants further examination of how this educational exchange program functions as a foreign policy effort on behalf of the United States. This mixed methods study uses data presented in five years of data available in the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board’s Annual Reports of the program. The study finds seven themes present in the written content of the annual report: Human rights, peace and security; access, diversity, and opportunity; collaboration and partnership; mutual financial investment; excellence as a result of Fulbright; program impact; and solving global problems.
Considering an Ethic of Care Framework to Counter Colonial Violence in International Education
Authors: Sodhi Myrtle , Martin Sonia
Published: December 2023

This collaborative, theoretical essay considers how an Embodied Ethic of Care Framework (Sodhi, 2022) could offer a different way of being in internationalized educational contexts in Canada. We begin by describing international education in the Canadian context. We explain how a federal international education strategy that is focused on boosting the economy rather than on education leads to “conditional hospitality” (Ahmed, 2012) and the commodification of international students (Guo & Guo, 2017). We then introduce the Embodied Ethic of Care Framework which is informed by Black feminist thought and Indigenous African thought (Sodhi, 2022). The framework recognizes the collective energy of community (Sodhi, 2022). We juxtapose the five elements of the framework to instances of international education in Canada. Because language-based discrimination is still a commonly accepted practice in Canadian post-secondary institutions (Martin, 2022), our descriptions of internationalized contexts in Canada attend to languaging and dialoguing. We demonstrate how current connections with international students are transactional – which replicates harmful historical relationships between people of colour, capitalism, and colonialism. The Embodied Ethic of Care Framework is an antidote for this form of colonial violence because it places relationship building at the center. Through echolocation (Gumbs, 2020), we invite readers to consider how an ethic of care framework might inspire a different way of being that could redress coloniality and systemic racism in internationalized contexts in Canada and/or in their own contexts.

In the regulation of homeostasis, the tone of the autonomic nervous system plays a key role, in the regulation of the metabolism of organic substances, which will affect the indicators of the fatty acid composition of the blood. As a result, the profile of saturated fatty acids can affect the nutritional value of dairy products. According to the results of a chromatographic study, the influence of the tone of the autonomic nervous system on the content of saturated fatty acids: caproic, capric, lauric, myristic, pentadecanoic, palmitic, and arachinic fatty acids was established. Caproic acid relative to the experimental group of normotonics has high indicators in sympathotonic 1.42 ± 0.06 (Р ≤ 0.001) and vagotonic 0.71 ± 0.08 (Р ≤ 0.001). Capric acid is 76 % (Р ≤ 0.001) lower in the content of animals with vagotonia and 9 % (Р ≤ 0.05) in goats with sympathotonia compared to normotonia. Lauric acid in the experimental group of vagotonics is 84 % (Р ≤ 0.001) more and 22 % (Р ≤ 0.05) less in sympathotonics compared to normotonics. Compared to animals with normotonia, myristic acid has high values in goats with sympathotonia by 22 % (Р ≤ 0.05) and with vagotonia by 82 % (Р ≤ 0.001). Pentadecanoic acid is 66 % less (Р ≤ 0.05) in sympathotonics and 29 % more in vagotonics (Р ≤ 0.01) compared to the experimental group of normotonic. Compared to goats with normotonia, palmitic acid has high indicators of animals with vagotonia by 6 % (Р ≤ 0.001) and low indicators with sympathotonia by 4 % (Р ≤ 0.05). Arachidonic acid in sympathotonic had the highest content by 38 % (Р ≤ 0.001) in comparison with normotonic. Considering the total content of saturated fatty acids in the blood plasma of goats during the chromatographic study, a regularity was established. The experimental group of vagotonic had the highest levels of fatty acids among other animals. Sympathotonic drugs mostly had a lower percentage content.
The Dual Roles of Trust and Risk in Sport Consumer Decision-Making in Social Commerce: An Information Adoption Model
Authors: Chiu Weisheng , Cho Heetae , Chua Hui Mei
Published: December 2023

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to understand consumers’ decision-making process based on the information adoption model (IAM). In addition, the trust-risk perspective was incorporated into the IAM to establish a more comprehensive framework to explore consumers’ purchase intention. The results found that consumers’ intention to purchase sporting goods was significantly predicted by the IAM and perceptions of trust and risk. Specifically, the relationships within the IAM were positive and significant, and both argument quality and source credibility affected information usefulness, which further led to information adoption. Moreover, information adoption had a positive influence on purchase intention. In addition, perceived trust and risk played different roles in consumers’ information adoption process and purchase intention. This study initially explores sport consumers’ decision-making in social commerce. Integrating the IAM and trust-risk perspective provides insights into the consumers’ information adoption process and purchase intention of sporting goods.

Published: December 2023

Abstract: Examining shift s in sport organizations’ social media content from before to during the pandemic-induced stoppage of play provides insight into digital branding during crises. Drawing on consumer-based brand equity and the context, content, and process framework, we examined adjustments made to brand image portrayal on Instagram and corresponding consumer engagement during the lockdown for two sport organizations at different seasonality stages. Results highlight how the National Basketball Association (NBA), facing the loss of their core product, utilized a need-based adjustment, while the National Football League (NFL) exhibited an opportunity-based adjustment. Analyses of consumer responses gauged the effectiveness of these two approaches, finding that the NFL was able to increase engagement, while the NBA suffered from declining engagement. Further investigation found that the NBA is still plagued by declined engagement since the pandemic, underscoring the importance of appropriate and effective digital branding during a crisis. While helping to fill the dearth of knowledge on how sport organizations operate under conditions outside of normalcy, this research improves our understanding of how social media content is managed during a crisis.
Division I College Football Premium Seating: An Analysis of the Power Five and Group of Five, Clientele, and Luxury Suite Prices
Authors: Mayer Kurt C.
Published: December 2023

Abstract: In Division I college football, sustainability concerns exist from the growing financial divide between the Power Five and Group of Five conferences. Athletic departments can become more financially viable through generation of additional attendance revenue in the higher priced area of premium seating, but little research has been conducted on the topic. As the first premium seating study across all of Division I, results indicated the Power Five and Group of Five did not significantly differ on their available premium seating options with luxury suites, club seats, and loge boxes. Also, suite consumers were mainly half individuals/families and half corporate for both classifications. Further, the regression models explained approximately 60% of suite price from Conference Affiliation, Suite Capacity, Number of Suites, County Population, Facility Age, Non-Gameday Rental, and Private/Public Institution variables. Altogether, results highlighted the uniqueness of the college football market and its distinctiveness from professional sport.

Published: December 2023

This research delves into the realm of data classification using machine learning models, namely 'Random Forest', 'Support Vector Machine (SVM) ' and ‘Logistic Regression'. The dataset, derived from the Australian Government's Bureau of Meteorology, encompasses weather observations from 2008 to 2017, with additional columns like 'RainToday' and the target variable 'RainTomorrow.' The study employs various metrics, including Accuracy Score, 'Jaccard Index', F1-Score, Log Loss, Recall Score and Precision Score, for model evaluation. Utilizing libraries such as 'NumPy', Pandas, matplotlib and ‘sci-kit-learn', the data pre-processing involves one-hot encoding, balancing for class imbalance and creating training and test datasets. The research implements three models, Logistic Regression, SVM and Random Forest, for data classification. Results showcase the models' performance through metrics like ROC-AUC, log loss and Jaccard Score, revealing Random Forest's superior performance in terms of ROC-AUC (0.98), compared to SVM (0.89) and Logistic Regression (0.88).
