Authors: Yuan Maoqing
Published: April 2024

Training models using machine learning algorithms have shown strong capabilities in classification prediction, thus employing machine learning algorithms in quantitative research can significantly enhance the accuracy of investment decisions. Utilizing a combination of multifactor models and machine learning algorithms for quantifying investment strategies holds considerable theoretical and practical research value. The IC analysis method and the random forest algorithm are employed to select factors, which serve as input variables (explanatory variables) for linear regression models. Future 30-day returns are used as the input variable (dependent variable) for regression calculations, establishing linear regression models to identify the relationship between them. Subsequently, this linear relationship is utilized for predicting future stock returns, thereby constructing a stock investment portfolio. The research findings indicate that both sets of strategy combinations exhibit some similarities and have achieved favorable strategy returns. Additionally, they demonstrate strong performance in terms of volatility and risk control, albeit with a deficiency in success rate.

Authors: Yang Liying
Published: April 2024

Core is a part of subsurface rock formations, and rock classification can be achieved by analyzing lithological characteristics such as color, texture, or shape. This is an essential step in oil and gas exploration. In the field of geology, core image analysis is a method for studying the micro-features of rocks, utilizing color and texture characteristics from core images for lithology identification. This paper establishes three models: one utilizing color moments for neural network training, another using gray-level co-occurrence matrix for neural network training, and a third employing a fusion of color moments and gray-level co-occurrence matrix for neural network training. The results from the three models are compared to assess the experimental accuracy. The findings indicate that the multi-feature fusion approach demonstrates higher precision in core image lithology identification.

Published: April 2024

Combined heat and power (CHP) has important application value for realizing sustainable energy development and building a green and low-carbon society, but the complex internal energy structure and equipment coupling relationship also brings challenges to its operation optimization. In this paper, the energy optimization scheduling is studied on the natural gas cogeneration industrial park microgrid, and a multi period dynamic optimization scheduling model for the natural gas cogeneration industrial park microgrid with the goal of minimizing operating costs is established. The network operation characteristics constraints of the cooling network, heating network, power supply network, and gas supply network is considered, as well as the impact of various types of energy storage devices on microgrid scheduling. Based on the scenario method, a industrial park microgrid energy optimization scheduling model considering random fluctuations in photovoltaic output is established. Measures such as quickly adjusting the energy storage and discharge power of the energy storage device are taken to balance the uncertain fluctuations in photovoltaic output. Taking a natural gas cogeneration industrial park microgrid as an example, the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed optimization scheduling model are verified. The calculation results show that the obtained microgrid operation scheduling scheme can effectively save energy consumption and reduce microgrid operation costs; The collaborative operation of multiple types of energy storage devices can more effectively reduce the operating costs of microgrids and is conducive to smoothing out the uncertain fluctuations of photovoltaic power generation.

The swift progression of digital technology is leading to substantial shifts and evolutions within enterprises. In the evolving environment characterized by the integration of digital technologies and the physical market, it's essential to examine the effects of digitalization on the path of enterprises towards attaining superior growth quality. This study utilizes panel data from A-share listed companies in China's equipment manufacturing sector, spanning from 2013 to 2021, to perform an empirical analysis on the influence and mechanisms of digital transformation in fostering the progress of these companies towards high-quality growth. The results reveal that digital transformation plays a significant role in promoting high-quality development among equipment manufacturing enterprises, and these results remain consistent after implementing various tests to mitigate endogeneity and confirm the findings' reliability. The examination of mechanisms suggests that digital transformation significantly contributes to the advancement of equipment manufacturing companies by alleviating financial constraints, improving internal control quality, and facilitating the integration of environmentally friendly innovation technologies. Moreover, the impact of digital transformation on elevating the quality of development within equipment manufacturing companies is notably more pronounced in privately-owned firms, those located in the eastern region, and businesses classified as high-tech. This highlights how the nature of ownership, geographical location, and technological classification further amplify the benefits of digital transformation for high-quality growth in the sector. These findings offer a theoretical basis for assessing the economic implications of enterprises' digital transformation and for shaping relevant governmental policies.

Authors: Uyi Ezeanah , Tifwa Hassan Y.
Published: April 2024

Housing is a critical element of socioeconomic welfare, significantly influencing life quality and community interactions. In cities like Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria, the provision of housing is fraught with challenges due to the complex interaction between formal and informal governance structures. This study investigates the effects of hybrid governance on housing allocation in Jos, aiming to elucidate the intricate connections between governance models and housing distribution methods. An analysis of the formal and informal institutions that oversee land ownership and housing rules reveals that the divergent practices of these systems impede efficient housing provision, resulting in conflicts, poor living conditions, and restricted access to vital services. The study proposes a hybrid governance model that integrates formal regulatory agencies and informal community representatives to address these challenges. Encouraging cooperation and coordination among these groups can enable urban planners to promote the development of quality, affordable housing, thus alleviating the housing shortage and enhancing the city's habitability. This research offers significant insights for policymakers, urban planners, and housing policy stakeholders in Jos and similar settings, emphasising the necessity of inclusive governance strategies to achieve sustainable housing solutions.

Published: April 2024

This study assessed the effects of irregular payment of teachers’ salaries and provision of fringe benefits on the implementation of curriculum in public senior secondary schools. The study was carried out to ascertain whether irregular payment of salaries and the provision of fringe benefits for teachers influence the effective implementation of curriculum. Descriptive survey design was used for the study. The population of the study comprised 37,916 teachers in public senior secondary schools in North–Central Nigeria.  Simple stratified and systematic random sampling were used in a multi-stage procedure to select 380 teachers as respondents. A modified four-point Likert-type rating scale questionnaire was used to gather data and the data were analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics to answer research questions and test the hypotheses respectively. Some of the findings revealed that irregular payment of salaries and irregular provision of fringe benefits for teachers influenced effective implementation of curriculum negatively in public senior secondary schools in North-central, Nigeria. It was therefore recommended that the government should ensure regular payment of salaries as at when due; owing teachers’ salaries should be stopped. The government should also intensify its efforts in providing fringe benefits for teachers and other welfare packages that will encourage them to create a sense of commitment and dedication leading to improved performance.

Authors: Uddin Shadab , Sumer Singh  , Tabish Fahim
Published: April 2024

Objectives: Debilitating day-to-day practices, including a sedentary lifestyle, increased unhealthy food consumption habits, no exercise, smoking, remarkably low HDL, and high cholesterol levels, lead to increased obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), affecting the quality of life. Supervised, steady, and long-term aerobic exercise training benefits cardiorespiratory fitness, psychological status, and quality of life. Therefore, the study’s objective was to determine the effect of cardiac rehabilitation program (CRP) on heart rate (HR), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP), and quality of life (QOL) in CVD patients.

Materials and Methods: The study followed a two-arm parallel group randomized comparative design. Thirty participants (n=15/group) with CVD (aged between 45-76 years) were randomly allocated to two groups (CRP vs. Control). CRP Group received the CRP and a conventional conditioning exercise program (CEP) at home and the Control Group received the conventional CEP only at home. The outcomes, HR, SBP, DBP, and QOL, were assessed using a sphygmomanometer and short-form 36 (SF-36) questionnaire’s physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) scale, respectively. The t-test and Wilcoxon test were used to analyze between and within-group comparisons for all the outcomes scores, keeping the significance level α at 95% (p<0.05) for all the statistical analyses.

Results: The mean scores comparison of the outcomes, HR, PCS, and MCS, were found significant (95% CI, p<0.05) within CRP and Control groups; however, SBP and DBP mean scores were found insignificant (95% CI, p>0.05) within both groups, except DBP mean score which was found significant (p<0.05) within CRP Group. Comparing the outcomes mean scores between the groups at four-week post-intervention, except PCS and MCS (95% CI, p<0.05), HR, SBP, and DBP were found to be insignificant (p>0.05). 

Conclusions: The CRP and conventional CEP at home together and conventional CEP at home alone were equally effective in decreasing HR and improving QOL in CVD patients. However, the CRP and conventional CEP at home together showed more effectiveness than the conventional CEP at home in improving the QOL in CVD patients.

Class imbalance is a severe problem in classification due to the deep slope on the class axis. The dataset is dominated by the majority class, which has the potential for misclassification. Another problem in classification and clustering is that high-dimensional datasets are found that have the potential to affect the performance of classification algorithms in terms of computation and accuracy. In this study, the class imbalance was handled using the ADASYN k - NN resampling technique and the selection feature using Information Gain. Based on the evaluation results, the sampling contribution matrix can improve the classification model by improving the geometric mean value. The selection feature helps interpret data with more simple features but can reduce the accuracy of the results. The results showed that the implementation of ADASYN k-NN and Information Gain could increase the accuracy score and geometric mean score of Decision Tree C4.5 and Naive Bayes. For further work, this proposed method will be tested on multiclass imbalanced datasets.
