Technical and performance analysis by revisiting Altman’s Z-score over Mindtree and L&T post-merger synergy predictions
Authors: Sendilvelu Kannadas
Published: December 2023

Mergers and acquisitions are an integral part of corporate finance and strategy. One of the most noteworthy mergers to have happened in recent times is the L&T Infotech Ltd. and Mindtree Ltd. merger. It was the first hostile takeover/acquisition of an IT company in Indian corporate history when Larsen & Toubro Limited, an engineering and construction conglomerate with a yearly turnover exceeding USD21 billion, completed the acquisition of Mindtree Limited by acquiring 60 percent of the stake in a phased manner until June 2019. In this research, the researcher have attempted to assess how successful this merger is, using technical analysis and Altman’s Z-score. In-depth analysis using the stock prices, and indicators such as relative strength index (RSI), moving average convergence/divergence (MACD), and Bollinger Bands have been deployed to get a better understanding of how both the companies reacted to certain market news throughout the past 5 years from 2017 to 2022. The Altman’s Z-score model application to test the financial distress of Indian companies reveals that comparatively healthy companies exhibit high Z-scores, indicating their financial soundness, while unhealthy firms exhibit low Z-scores, proving they are distressed (Korath & Nayak, 2022). The beta analysis for both companies has also been conducted to get a fair idea of how sensitive each company is to market volatility. The research has also attempted to gauge the various challenges that the newly merged company may face post the merger.
Physics-Informed Neural Networks for fault slip monitoring: simulation, frictional parameter estimation, and prediction on slow slip events in a spring-slider system
Authors: Fukushima Rikuto , Kano Masayuki , Hirahara Kazuro
Published: December 2023

The episodic transient fault slips called slow slip events (SSEs) have
been observed in many subduction zones. These slips often occur in
regions adjacent to the seismogenic zone during the interseismic period,
making monitoring SSEs significant for understanding large earthquakes.
Various fault slip behaviors, including SSEs and earthquakes, can be
explained by the spatial heterogeneity of frictional properties on the
fault. Therefore, estimating frictional properties from geodetic
observations and physics-based models is crucial for fault slip
monitoring. In this study, we propose a Physics-Informed Neural Network
(PINN)-based new approach to simulate fault slip evolutions, estimate
frictional parameters from observation data, and predict subsequent
fault slips. PINNs, which integrate physical laws and observation data,
represent the solution of physics-based differential equations. As a
first step, we validate the effectiveness of the PINN-based approach
using a simple single-degree-of-freedom spring-slider system to model
SSEs. As a forward problem, we successfully reproduced the temporal
evolution of SSEs using PINNs and obtained implications on how to choose
the appropriate collocation points by analyzing the residuals of
physics-based differential equations. As an inverse problem, we
estimated the frictional parameters from synthetic observation data and
demonstrated the ability to obtain accurate values regardless of the
choice of first-guess values. Furthermore, we discussed the potential of
the predictability of the subsequent fault slips using limited
observation data, taking into account uncertainties. Our results
indicate the significant potential of PINNs for fault slip monitoring.
Improving signal-to-noise ratios of ambient noise cross-correlation functions using local attributes
Authors: He Bin , Zhu Hejun , Lumley David E
Published: December 2023

For seismographic stations with short acquisition duration, the
signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) of ambient noise cross-correlation
functions (CCFs) are typically low, preventing us from accurately
measuring surface wave dispersion curves or waveform characteristics. In
addition, with low-quality CCFs, it is difficult to monitor temporal
variations of subsurface physical states or extract relatively weak
signals such as body waves. In this study, we propose to use local
attributes to improve the SNRs of ambient noise CCFs, which allows us to
enhance the quality of CCFs for stations with limited acquisition
duration. Two local attributes: local cross-correlation and local
similarity, are used in this study. The local cross-correlation allows
us to extend the dimensionality of daily CCFs with computational costs
similar to global cross-correlation. Taking advantage of this extended
dimensionality, the local similarity is then used to measure
non-stationary similarity between the extended daily CCFs with a
reference stacking trace, which enables us to design better stacking
weights to enhance coherent features and attenuate incoherent background
noises. Ambient noise recorded by several broadband stations from the
USArray in North Texas and Oklahoma, the Superior Province Rifting
EarthScope Experiment in Minnesota and Wisconsin and a high-frequency
nodal array deployed in the San Bernardino basin are used to demonstrate
the performance of the proposed approach for improving the SNR of CCFs.
Understanding the fate of H2S injected in basalts by means of time-domain induced polarization geophysical logging
Authors: Lévy Léa , Ciraula Daniel , Legros Bruno , Martin Tina , Weller Andreas
Published: December 2023

To help meet emission standards, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from geothermal
production may be injected back into the subsurface, where basalt
offers, in theory, the capacity to mineralize H2S into pyrite. Ensuring
the viability of this pollution mitigation technology requires
information on how much H2S is mineralized, at what rate and where. To
date, monitoring efforts of field-scale H2S reinjection have mostly
occurred via mass balance calculations, typically capturing less than
5\% of the injected fluid. While these studies, along
with laboratory experiments and geochemical models, conclude effective
H2S mineralization, their extrapolation to quantify mineralization and
its persistence over time leads to considerable uncertainty. Here, a
geophysical methodology, using time-domain induced polarization (TDIP)
logging in two of the injection wells (NN3 and NN4), is developed to
follow the fate of H2S re-injected at Nesjavellir geothermal site in
south-west Iceland. Results show a strong chargeability increase at +40
days, corresponding to precipitation of up to 1\% in NN4
and 2\% in NN3 according to laboratory-based
relationships. A uniform increase is observed along NN4, whereas it is
localized below 450 in NN3. Changes are more pronounced with the larger
electrode spacing, indicating that pyrite precipitation takes place away
from the wells. Furthermore, a chargeability decrease is observed at
later monitoring rounds in both wells, suggesting that pyrite is either
passivated or re-dissolved after precipitating. These results highlight
the ability of TDIP logging to monitor pyrite mineralization and have
implications for understanding the fate of H2S upon subsurface storage
in basaltic environments.
Evaluation of the Empirical Scaling Factor of Joule Heating Rates in TIE-GCM with EISCAT Measurements
Authors: Günzkofer Florian Ludwig , Liu Huixin , Stober Gunter , Pokhotelov Dimitry , Borries Claudia
Published: December 2023

Joule heating is one of the main energy inputs into the
thermosphere-ionosphere system. Precise modeling of this process is
essential for any space weather application. Existing ionosphere models
tend to underestimate the actual Joule heating rate quite significantly.
The Thermosphere-Ionosphere-Electrodynamics General-Circulation-Model
applies an empirical scaling factor of 1.5 for compensation. We
calculate vertical profiles of Joule heating rates from approximately
2220 h of measurements with the EISCAT incoherent scatter radar and the
corresponding model runs. We investigate model runs with the plasma
convection driven by both the Heelis and the Weimer model. The required
scaling of the Joule heating profiles is determined with respect to the
Kp index, the Kan-Lee merging electric field EKL, and the magnetic local
time. Though the default scaling factor of 1.5 appears to be adequate on
average, we find that the required scaling varies strongly with all
three parameters ranging from 0.46 to ∼20 at geomagnetically disturbed
and quiet times, respectively. Furthermore, the required scaling is
significantly different in runs driven by the Heelis and Weimer model.
Adjusting the scaling factor with respect to the Kp index, EKL, the
magnetic local time, and the choice of convection model would reduce the
difference between measurement and model results.

Forecasting Market Volatility: The Role of Earnings Announcements
Authors: Kim Jaewoo , Schonberger Bryce , Wasley Charles , Yang Yucheng
Published: December 2023

This study examines whether information revealed by firms’ earnings announcements (EAs) forecasts short-run market-wide volatility in equity index prices. Using an exponential generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity model that includes controls for the information in an array of macroeconomic announcements, we find that EA information aggregated across firms forecasts market volatility at daily and weekly intervals. EA information’s forecasting power is greatest when more firms announce earnings on a given day, when EAs convey negative news, and for EA information about core earnings. Out-of-sample tests confirm that forecasts incorporating EA information better predict short-run market volatility than forecasts omitting EA information. We conclude that firm-level EAs are a significant source of systematic, market-wide information relevant for predicting near-term market volatility.

Measuring Portfolio Gains: The Case of Earnings Announcement Trading Signals
Authors: Lyle Matthew R. , Yohn Teri
Published: December 2023

This study offers solutions to help address practical issues researchers generally overlook when assessing gains from a trading signal. Specifically, the methodologies used in previous research generally ignore investor risk aversion when forming portfolios, do not update portfolios as signals arrive, exploit look-ahead biases, do not assess the incremental gains of a new signal, and do not consider market frictions. We examine trading signals based on post-earnings announcement drift (PEAD), the earnings announcement premium (EAP), and earnings announcement rescheduling (RES). Using our proposed approach, we find that portfolios that incorporate the individual signals produce higher Sharpe ratios than equal-weighted portfolios; however, the gains for each signal are concentrated to a few days around the announcement. The EAP and RES signals do not provide incremental portfolio gains over the PEAD signal. After considering market frictions, portfolio performance rapidly attenuates and becomes similar to the SPY ETF as the portfolio size increases.

6-month migration sufficient for evaluation of total knee replacements: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Puijk Raymond , Puijk Rowan H , Laende Elise K , Dunbar Michael J , Plevier José W M , Nolte Peter A , Pijls Bart G C W
Published: December 2023

Background and purpose: This updated meta-analysis evaluates the migration pattern of the tibial component of primary total knee replacements measured with radiostereometric analysis (RSA). We aimed to evaluate whether 6-month maximum total point motion (MTPM) values could be used instead of 1-year MTPM for RSA threshold testing and to present the pooled migration patterns for different implant designs that can be used as a benchmark.Patients and methods: The search included all published RSA studies on migration patterns of tibial components until 2023. Study groups were classified according to their prosthesis brand, fixation, and insert (PFI). Sub-analyses were performed to compare the mean tibial component migration patterns of different implant variables, stratified according to fixation.Results: 96 studies (43 new studies), including 197 study groups and 4,706 knees, were included. Most migration occurred within the first 6 postoperative months (126 study groups: mean 0.58 mm, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.50–0.65), followed by minimal migration between 6 and 12 months (197 study groups: mean 0.04 mm, CI 0.03–0.06), irrespective of the fixation method used. Distinct migration patterns were observed among the different fixation methods. No differences were found in migration patterns among cemented components in any of the sub-group analyses conducted. For uncemented implants, trabecular metal surfaced components seemed to migrate less than porous-coated or uncoated componentsConclusion: Based on the small difference between MTPM values at 6 months and 1 year, MTPM at 6 months could be used instead of MTPM at 1 year for RSA threshold testing. The pooled migration patterns can be used as benchmark for evaluation of new implants by defining fixation-specific RSA thresholds when combined with implant survival.

Digital instrument construction – “new” metrology
Authors: Neyezhmakov Pavel , Vasylieva Olena , Pavlenko Yurii , Ogar Valeriy
Published: December 2023

As of today, Ukraine maintains a number of primary radio measurement standards established at the end of the last century. However, there is an abundance of high-tech multi-functional measuring equipment being widely spread for the purpose of metrological support (verification, repair, calibration). This circumstance requires the adaptation of the domestic infrastructure of metrological support and revision of the principles and approaches to the metrological support system itself. The essence of the new approach lies in the maximum use of both our methodological experience in metrology and technological solutions of modern instrumentation. When establishing a new primary measurement standard for frequency deviation, these new principles are implemented. The paper shows that the main tendencies in the instrumentation in the field of electro-radio measurements are not only aimed at the improvement of metrological characteristics, but also at the wide use of digital and software solutions, which requires new approaches to metrological support. The experience of developing the primary measurement standard for frequency deviation of frequency-modulated (FM) oscillations, as well as the study of the measurement standard for amplitude-modulated (AM) oscillations, shows the effectiveness of using digital methods for the generation of precise complex broadband signals, and software methods for the implementation of complex measurement algorithms. Thanks to the programming, such methods as “zeros of the Bessel function” and “combination frequencies” have been implemented, which in the analogue version are very cumbersome and difficult to apply in practice. The experimental estimation of metrological characteristics of the most important equipment devices (generators and demodulators) during their operation by analogue and digital methods is described, and the results of comparative measurements are given. It is shown that, in addition to the increasing number of metrological capabilities, digital and software approaches allow creating flexible multifunctional calibration complexes in the field of radio measurements.
Melanopic photometry
Authors: Nazarenko Leonid , Didenko Olena
Published: December 2023

Visual lighting effects have been seriously studied for more than 500 years. It was not until 2002 that physicians and biologists paid attention to the fact that the light that enters the human eye has non-visual, biological effects.
Human Centric Lighting (HCL) examines the visual effects of light on human activity. Electric lighting plays a critical role in maintaining human health in today’s world, as most of us spend much of our time indoors.
In 2002, a third type of photoreceptor was discovered – a nerve node cell in the retina (photosensitive, Retinal Ganglion Cell, pRGC). pRGC cells contain melatonin pigments (melanopsin) and are responsible for the spectral response of photosensitive cells.
The maximum response of melatonin is achieved at a wavelength of approximately 480 nm. Fig. 1 also shows the response curves of L-, M-, and S-cones and rods based on their specific pigments.
Using the response curves of L-, M-, and S-cones and rods, and having the spectra of light sources and the amount of light on the outer surface of the eye, it is possible to determine the spectrally weighted illuminances for five photopigments in the human eye.
For research purposes, it is desirable to record the illuminance values for all five α illuminances. They indicate which of the photoreceptors is responding and where the light of the current lamp type is emitting.
The manufacturers of light sources should be able to provide α-wave illuminances for their lamps. The International Commission on Illumination (CIE) suggested Exeltoolbox, which allows calculating these illuminances based on the spectral distribution of the lamp power.
Cone-dominant metrics such as CCT (correlated colour temperature), illuminance, and luminance are not comprehensive, so melanopsin-based photosensitivity should be considered in specifications, guidelines, and during research.

Of the four types of kandoushi, the type that appears the most is kandoushi kandou. This is because there are many unexpected events caused by Doraemon's tools from the future, Doraemon introduces and uses the tools in the magic bag to the characters there. So that it makes a lot of dialog that contains the meaning of amazement, surprise, wonder and happiness. Therefore, this is the reason why kandoushi kandou is found more than other types of kandoushi.

Masalah kejahatan semakin meluas di Indonesia. Tingkat kejahatan di Jabodetabek merupakan yang tertinggi kedua di Indonesia. Dalam penelitian yang mengandung outlier ini, metode yang tepat untuk penelitian ini adalah regresi kuantil. Regresi Kuantil merupakan pengembangan dari regresi median atau metode Least Absolute Deviation (LAD) yang berguna untuk membagi data menjadi dua bagian untuk meminimalisir kesalahan. Namun, LAD ini dianggap tidak baik untuk pemodelan, oleh karena itu muncullah regresi kuantil. Regresi kuantil berguna untuk mengatasi masalah asumsi yang tidak terpenuhi dalam regresi klasik yaitu gejala heteroskedastisitas dan regresi kuantil dapat memodelkan data yang mengandung outlier. Pendekatan metode regresi kuantil adalah memisahkan ataupun membagi data menjadi beberapa bagian atau kuantil tertentu yang diduga terdapat perbedaan nilai estimasi. Pengukuran kebaikan model yang dihasilkan menggunakan koefisien determinasi atau R2 pada setiap kuantil. Pada penelitian ini digunakan lima kuantil yaitu 0,05; 0,25; 0,50; 0,75; dan 0,95. Dari hasil analisis diketahui bahwa model estimasi parameter terbaik terdapat pada kuantil 0,95 dengan seluruh variabel independen berpengaruh signifikan terhadap variabel dependen (tingkat kejahatan). sedangkan pada kuantil 0,25 dan 0,50 tidak ada variabel bebas yang berpengaruh signifikan, hal ini mungkin disebabkan pengaruh faktor lain yang tidak terdapat dalam penelitian yang mempengaruhi masing-masing kuantil.

Indonesia continues to encounter numerous challenges, particularly in the health and economic sectors. As the future of the nation, the quality of human resources is crucial for Indonesia's development. The development of Indonesia is key to improving the quality of life of its people, and a focus on this development can positively impact the health and economy of the community. A healthy and educated generation is fundamental for the country's expected progress, as nutritional status is one of the factors significantly affecting the quality of human resources. Nutritional problems can cause serious impacts, such as improper physical growth, decreased IQ quality, and even death. The goal is to analyze the factors affecting the nutritional status of toddlers by classifying each variable using a decision tree. A decision tree is a flow chart that resembles a branching tree structure. The C4.5 algorithm was utilized in this study. It can process both numeric and categorical data, handle missing attribute values, and generate easy-to-interpret rules. After conducting the analysis, it was found that there are 392 districts/cities in Indonesia where the prevalence of stunted toddler nutritional status is less than 20%. The model created using the C4.5 algorithm was evaluated and achieved an accuracy of 99.8% and a kappa value close to 1. This indicates that the model can accurately classify toddler nutrition problems in Indonesia.

The objective of this study is to determine the moderator role of generation gap in the effect of psychological empowerment perception on job satisfaction. The population (N: 200) and sample (n=136) of the study consists of health professionals working in the Karaman Provincial Health Directorate, Türkiye. In the research data were collected with a questionnaire technique and the hypotheses were tested through the SPSS Macro Process program. The significance of the regulatory role (statistically) was calculated by the bootstrap test. As a result of the analyzes made, it was found that the moderator effect of psychological empowerment perception on job satisfaction differed between the X and Y generations.
While the effect of the psychological empowerment perceptions of the X Generation employees on job satisfaction did not show a statistically significant difference, this effect was found to be statistically significant in the Y Generation employees. It has been found that generations have a moderator effect on the effect of psychological empowerment perceptions of health workers on job satisfaction (X and Y).
Benefits And Challenges for Young Australians with Epilepsy Transitioning Into Adult Healthcare: A scoping review
Authors: Eckersley Rebecca , Kosiol Jennifer
Published: December 2023

Transitioning from paediatric healthcare into an adult healthcare system is a high-risk time for people with complex epilepsy.  This can be a period of significant upheaval as a young person moves away from familiar and safe paediatric environments into unfamiliar adult healthcare.  This is compounded by normal adolescent development, the challenges of epilepsy and the lifestyle conditions it demands, including restrictions on driving and levels of independence. Such factors can contribute to suboptimal health engagement which result in increased seizure activity, hospital admissions and reduction in community participation.  Effective, well implemented transition programs are key to reducing risks, however little is known about which features of transition pathways define success or best practice.
A scoping review was used to examine a broad range of peer-reviewed literature published between 2017 and 2022.  This review examined evidence-based literature relating to experiences of people with epilepsy as they transitioned between paediatric and adult healthcare environments. Specifically, exploring practices that offered benefits, recognising barriers, and identifying findings to inform future research and advance transition practices.
This review found that key to reducing transition-related health impacts for young people was patient-centred, engaging care that acknowledges their psychosocial and mental health needs specific to their level of development.  Evidence suggests that engagement is built through multidisciplinary clinics that facilitate education and self-management.  This review found that successful programs can deliver this by focusing on four key areas; relationships and continuity, capacity building, processes, and health services and systems.  At a paediatric level this involves timely, age-appropriate preparation that builds skills and knowledge through tailored care-plans.  At the transfer phase this means coordinated teams that work together across systems to ensure handover continuity, reduce stressors, and to aid navigation.  At the adult level, care-teams that welcome young patients with protocols for continued capacity building are required.

Published: December 2023

Importance COVID-19 has facilitated the rise of a new service model that combines HITH service provision with technology to create ‘virtual hospitals’, but evidence on the impact of this new model in terms of cost and clinical outcomes, compared to usual Hospital in the Home (HITH) care, is currently lacking.

Objective To assess the clinical and financial impacts of virtual care technology on Hospital in the Home models of care.

Design Quasi-experimental study comparing outcomes of a control group receiving ‘usual’ home-based acute care and a virtual care cohort using remote monitoring technology while also receiving usual Hospital in the Home (HITH) care.

Main Outcomes and Measures Readmissions within 28 days, unplanned emergency department (ED) presentations, transfers-in to facility-based hospital beds, and average length of stay.

Results During the study period, 151 adult and 26 paediatric patients utilised virtual care technology for the majority, or all, of their home-based acute care. Use of such technology was associated with a statistically significant reduction in risk of hospital readmission within 28 days—from 43% to 21%. The risk of hospital readmission within 28 days for the same diagnosis-related group (DRG) dropped from 18% to 4%, and the length of stay for the top three DRGs by volume decreased from a mean of 7.2 days to 4.0 days, saving an average of $3,698 per admission. Use of technology was also associated with reduced rates of unplanned ED presentations and transfers-in to traditional hospital beds compared to usual care for adults.

Conclusions Our findings confirm there are clinical and economic benefits associated with embedding virtual care technology in Hospital in the Home (HITH) service models that warrant consideration in health systems facing capacity constraints and rising costs.
