Transition E-Garch Model for Modeling and Forecasting Volatility of Equity Stock Returns in Nigeria Stock Exchange
Authors: A Olugbode M. , I. Shittu O.
Published: February 2024

The mean-equations that exhibit unconditional variance do not reflect real-world data characteristics and do not always fully embrace the thick tail properties of high-frequency financial time series. However, there are cases when mean-equations exhibit conditional and unconditional variances, which conventional Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (GARCH) models do not accommodate with assumptions of normal error innovation. The behaviour of equity in stock returns volatility was investigated using mean-equations that reflect both conditional and unconditional variances under the variants innovation distribution. The Nigeria Stock Exchange’s, (NSE’s), daily All Stock Index, (ASI) data from 3rd May 1999 to 18th March 2019 was utilized to characterize the volatility structure of equity in Nigeria Stock returns. The Transition Exponential GARCH Model (TEGM) with non-normal innovations was used to demonstrate the dynamic model performance and predictive power in modeling variances that transit between unconditional and conditional structures. Under various error innovations, the structural characteristics of the TEGM were examined, and the parameters were estimated. The TEGM result under Student’s t innovation distribution was significant for forecasting and predicting random series data. The error distribution has both the minimal and sufficient requirements for the best predictive capacity and forecasting capabilities. Over a longer period, the NSE’s daily ASI showed more unconditional variance than conditional variation. The Transition Exponential GARCH Model was found to be the best model for describing the volatility structure of financial assets in Nigerian stock returns, and is thus recommended for making informed investment decisions with better forecast performance.

Published: February 2024

Boarding on the transfor mative journey of a teaching career, educators encounter a myriad of challenges that shape their early experiences in the classroom. Recognizing the pivotal nature of these initial years in a teacher’s career, there arises a critical need to explore avenues that provide systematic support and enhance the professional development of educators. This research delved into the exploration of the implementation practices of the Teacher Induction Program (TIP) in public secondary schools in Davao City. Employing a qualitative case study design, the study utilized purposive sampling to select seven Master Teachers actively involved in TIP implementation. The research instrument, a researcher-made interview guide, was validated and enhanced by three Master Teachers, and results were based on key themes and core ideas derived from the discussions. The major themes identified for the implementation practices were structured learning, expert guidance and support, immersion and integration, knowledge and orientation, practice and feedback, and implementation gaps. Additionally, major themes for strategies that can be implemented to enhance the effectiveness of the teacher induction program were personalization and individualization, open communication and collaboration, and continuous improvement and adaptability. These themes were defined, discussed thoroughly, enriched with core ideas, and supported by existing studies and literature. The implications for theory revealed a strong connection between the identified themes and the Human Capital Theory and the Employee Engagement Theory, suggesting that integrating these theories into teacher induction programs enhances their effectiveness. The implications for practice highlighted the importance of structured learning, prioritizing mentoring activities, focus on continuing support, emphasizing practice and feedback, and addressing implementation gaps. Recommendations include designing comprehensive induction schedules, prioritizing mentorship programs, integrating new teachers into the broader educational environment, providing essential information through modules, establishing regular mechanisms for feedback, and addressing implementation gaps through active leadership support. By incorporating these implications into practice, educational institutions can create a more supportive and engaging environment for new teachers, contributing to their professional development and success.

Published: February 2024

Over the years, the multiple outdoor sport activities have relied on the natural environment for critical resources such as energy, water, and the field of play. The relationship between outdoor sports activities and the environment has been primarily examined to understand how outdoor sports activities impact on the natural environment. However, the actual and potential deleterious effects of climate change on sports are under-researched. Yet, climate change impacts individuals’ sporting choices, since changing temperatures and precipitation patterns affect the participation of outdoor sports activities. In this paper, we examined the nexus between climate change and multiple outdoor sports on individuals’ health outcomes. After evaluating more than 150 publications, the researchers retained 45 articles and analyzed them to answer the research questions: (1) what evidence is available regarding the impacts of climate change on the performance of multiple outdoor sports activities. The research question was built around three themes; (1) nexus between climate change and outdoor sports activities; (2) heat effects on athlete performance; and (3) Mitigation and adaptive measures taken to prevent the impact of climate change on athletes involved in multiple outdoor sports. This review reveals that there is evidence of climate change impacts on multiple sports activities. The paper concludes that the changing heat waves and precipitation patterns affect individual participations in outdoor sports activities, which has direct ramifications for health and wellbeing of individuals participating in sporting activities. It is therefore, recommended that policy makers should be involved in engaging athletes, local leaders and other stakeholders in combating the impacts of climate change on outdoor sports.

Published: February 2024

Malicious consumers may hack their smart meters (SMs) in the smart grid to report fake readings in order to make unlawful financial profits. Since the reported readings are used for energy management, the utility suffers significant financial losses as a result, and grid performance may suffer as a result. The net metering system, in which one SM is used to report the difference between the power consumed and the power generated, is the subject of this research, which is the first study to look into the issue. First, we process real power consumption and generation information to create a benign dataset for the net-metering system. The data was then examined, and time correlations between the net meter readings and correlations between the measurements and pertinent information from reliable sources, such as temperature, were discovered. Based on the data analysis, we suggest a single-pole double-throw detector to detect erroneous readings. In addition to data from reliable sources, our detector is trained on net meter readings from every customer in order to improve its performance by discovering correlations between them. We also create a relationship between the customer and the grid. Since the only billing system available nowadays is online, this project includes an app that may be used to solve a variety of problems, including electrical outages. Overall, with this, we improve customer and grid communication and simplify their lives.

Published: February 2024

The composition and activity of the gut microbiota, which is essential for preserving health, are greatly influenced by the food that humans eat. Iru, a traditional West African fermented condiment, is derived from Parkia biglobosa seeds and is a sought-after ingredient in West African cuisine due to its unique aroma, flavor, and texture. Iru is a spice that adds depth to stews, soups, and sauces in West African cooking, especially in Nigeria and Cameroon. Due to the fermentation process, which transforms complex ingredients into more easily absorbed forms, it has a distinct flavor and fragrance. Beyond only eating, iru has a deep cultural meaning that is frequently emphasized in ceremonies, festivals, and customs. Generations of people have used this fermenting technique. Iru is a traditional condiment from West Africa that showcases the region’s culinary heritage and is a favorite condiment in West African cookery. It is made using beneficial bacteria to make distinctive, tasty, and culturally significant food items. This study investigated the effects of two distinct food components—Maggi Knorr, a chemical seasoning mixture, and Iru (Parkia biglobosa), a traditional fermented condiment from West Africa—on the intestinal microbial communities of mice. Using mice as a well-researched animal model, we will assess the short- and long-term effects of food supplementation with Maggi Knorr and Iru on microbial diversity, composition, and functional ability in the gastrointestinal tract. The metabolic activities of the microbial communities will be characterized by means of high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA genes in conjunction with metabolism analysis. This study aimed to investigate how two commonly utilized food additives, namely chemical seasoning (Maggi Star, Knorr and Vedan) and Iru (Parkia biglobosa), affect the microbial community residing in the gastrointestinal tracts of rats.
