A Study of Psychological Mechanisms and Relevant Application Research of Status Quo Bias
Authors: Li Zihan , Wang Zexuan , Zeng Yina
Published: May 2023

This paper introduces a phenomenon in which individuals are unwilling to change their current state after period of directed choices. We call it status quo bias. Status quo bias is an influential theory in behavioral economics, where people's reluctance to risk common sense in the face of unknown choices is explained by a combination of loss aversion and regret theory, causing the choices to look better than its alternatives. We choose to utilize examples of Coca-Cola company and European organ donation as the basis of our study to concentrate on the deeper influence of status quo bias on some degree of significance to the individuals or companies concerned who are affected by it as the study method. Meanwhile, the reason we choose to study this topic is that it is a classic and important basic theory in behavioral economics, and it has an unshakable position in the current industrial structure and economic development environment of most enterprises, and it is also widely use in daily life. We also analyze the pros and cons in terms of losses and gains, and we demonstrate through examples that gains do outweigh losses when following the status quo bias. From the application of this paper, we can conclude the following points: the study of the theory of status quo bias can help us better understand the behavior of micro-actors in the market and improve the theories about consumer behavior and other related areas in the direction of economics; decision makers can respond to people's tendency of status quo bias in practical areas such as marketing industry, administrative fields or public policies and so on. To sum up, it is significant to grasp well in both the comprehension and interpretation of everyday decision-making behavior of status quo and its application in various practice areas.
The Prospect Theory and The Stock Market
Authors: Wei Yilin
Published: May 2023

This paper is aimed to investigate the important principle of behavioral economics , prospect theory and applies prospect theory to stock market. Based on the former studies, there are three features at the core of prospect theory, and they are in turn the reference point, a principle of diminishing sensitivity and loss aversion. Prospect theory focus on how people make decisions in an uncertain situation and it combines psychology to research economic man's choice behavior rather than research rational people’s economic behavior like expected utility theory. Therefore, the prospect theory has more value and more practical to apply in the stock market and be studied to predict investors behavior. In this essay, case analysis method and theoretical analysis method will be used to explore the prospect theory and stock market. It found that prospect theory can conduct investors gain more profit because of stock reverse transaction strategy. And loss aversion, the most important factor of reversal effect, point out that when face the uncertainty, people won’t keep completely rational as the utility theory said. What’s more, it suggests the exist of reverse effect in Chinese stock market. The research contributed to present understanding of the prospect theory in China's stock market, and further explores that the stock reversal strategy is more conducive to investors' profits in China's stock market. A large part of the reasons for this phenomenon can be explained by prospect theory, while expected utility theory cannot.
Loss Aversion Effect: Current Situation and Future Prospect of Agricultural Insurance in China
Authors: Xiao Weilun
Published: May 2023

The subsidy for farmer and peasant is well-developed in a few agricultural countries, since those countries' GDP mostly rely on crops or vegetables and it is understandable why those counties have a such comprehensive agricultural insurance system. China does not rely on farming to raise GDP so facilities and subsidy for farmers are not that advanced. However, China is going toward a good tendency, and the coverage and completeness is increasing drastically. So even China was not completable with those countries in the world, it would likely to find a way to establish comprehensive agricultural insurance. This essay analyzes several drawbacks of the insurance in China and provide some solutions for it. By separating the popularization of education and the introduction of talents, China will solve the problem of insurance in poor areas in a short time. At the same time, national policies can also be modified accordingly. For different kinds of crops, diverse guarantee amounts and compensation amounts can be formulated, together with the national subsidy mechanism.

Authors: Yi Siming
Published: May 2023

Accurate sales forecasting can improve a company's profitability while minimizing expenditures. The use of machine learning algorithms to predict product sales has become a hot topic for researchers and companies over the past few years. This report features the machine learning sales prediction model that combines the ML algorithm and meticulous feature engineering processing to predict Walmart sales. The following regressions are analyzed in this paper: linear regression, random forest regression, and XGBoost regression. The regression analysis has been tested for the same time period every year for three years from 2010 to 2012 on a continuous time basis. The experiments show that XGBoost algorithm overperforms the other machine learning methods by examining the same evaluation metric (WAME). The findings can contribute to a better understanding of the development of new decision support for the retail industry e.g., Walmart retail stores. Moreover, this paper also represents a detailed procedure to rank the feature importance for the dataset. Within the next few years, the ML algorithm is destined to become an important approach for business forecasting. However, this strategy largely ignores the time series method for accuracy.

Growth and productivity potential of Dalbergia sissoo in short rotation coppice system on sodic soil
Authors: Goel V. , Singh B.
Published: May 2023

Performance of five year old coppice plants of Dalbergia sissoo was evaluated for biomass production on a sub-standard soil site. Initially coppice plants showed emergence of 4.59 + 1.65 sprouts per stump followed by dominance of 2.2 + 1.00 shoots per stump after five year of growth. Dominant shoot attained an average height of 535.21+26.25 cm and a diameter of 4.52+1.88 cm at 130 cm from ground level. Accordingly, the basal area per shoot was 16.57 cm2. Different regression models were developed with various growth parameters to predict biomass of coppice shoots. Linear regression equation ‘y = a + b (d2h) (height and diameter of coppice shoot) was found to be the best predictor of biomass followed by diameter (d2) and height alone because of high value of correlation coefficient (p>0.001, p<0.01). At the age of 5 years, coppice shoots produced a total of 13.52 Mg ha-1 aboveground biomass with maximum stem wood (9.84 Mg ha-1), followed by branch wood (2.92 Mg ha-1) and leaf (0.781 Mg ha-1) respectively at the density of 2406 coppice stems ha-1. Accordingly, biomass allocation to different plant components revealed high proportion of woody biomass (94.3%) and marginal contribution of leafy portion (5.7%). Mean annual increment (MAI) on the basis of total above biomass was 2.70 Mg ha-1 whereas the current annual increment was 5.75 Mg ha-1. The usable energy content in woody biomass was 263.6 GJ ha-1 after five years of growth with acceptable heating value (20.66 + 1.25 kJ g-1) and reasonably good fuel value index (958.91 + 171.8). Morphologically superior plants “Plus trees” were retained as standards for a good seed source adaptable to such fragile sites. Thus our study revealed potential of short rotation coppice system in D. sissoo for obtaining biomass energy and minor timber on sub-standard soil sites.

Large number of small sensor nodes exists in WSN’s for sensing and collecting information from the environment. In today’s time, these sensor nodes were applied in under water, military area, health care, earthquake sensing and in dedicated areas with recent technologies. Sensor nodes have limited life time and have supplementary network life. Network lifecycle depends on many factors such as connectivity, residual energy, topology types, single hop, multi hop, distance from base station, distance to cluster heads and much more. Among the various solutions given, clustering is considered to be good solution and optimal cluster head selection leads to efficient energy consumption. This paper proposes fuzzy based multi-attributes clustering that balances load among sensor nodes and also gives energy efficient clustering. Here we have used some attributes such as delay, residual energy, distance to CH, standard deviation to average network lifetime and standard deviation to residual energy. Results and experimental analysis validates that the proposed methods outperforms other compared algorithms.
Animal welfare of embryos and newly hatched chicks: A review
Authors: ARAUJO Itallo C. S. , LOPES Tainá S. B. , LARA Leonardo J. C. , COSTA Bruno T. A.
Published: May 2023

The welfare of farm animals is a hotly debated issue today. There are few technical materials available focused on hatcheries that address and incorporate practices adopting the welfare level required by civil society. However, about 33% of the production period of a broiler chicken occurs on the hatchery. Recent studies have shown that day-old chick production has points that need to be improved. Technical standards indicate that the process of welfare should begin during egg storage such that the best conditions are provided for embryos prior to incubation. Storage until 28 days at temperatures above 12ºC can kill embryos, while exposure of eggs to 30 ºC until 14 days causes a negative impact under the hatchability. The available results regarding in ovo nutrition show that it should be considered for benefit neonate quality since inoculation of substances such vitamin E (60.4 IU) promote better incubation results. Feeding immediately after hatching is a management for welfare because animals feed-fed soon after hatch perform better up to 35 d. The most criticized point in hatcheries is the slaughter of neonates, for which some strategies are being investigated, including the use of dual-purpose aptitude strains, in ovo sexing by different methodologies, sex inversion and hormonal-based sexing. It is noted that procedures involving bird incubation require greater attention to welfare. Therefore, it is necessary to align theoretical knowledge with practical applications so that the demands of society, as well as those of industry, are met.

Published: May 2023

Minimally invasive adult spinal deformity (MIS ASD) surgery may offer benefits over conventional techniques in select circumstances. The success of the procedure is based on proper patient selection, restoring adequate alignment, and optimizing fusion. In the past, MIS techniques were limited because of the need to reposition the patient—a source of increased surgical time and potentially patient risk. New developments now allow for single-position, MIS correction of adult deformity. Additional research will be needed to determine the ideal patient for minimally invasive adult spinal deformity surgery and whether prone or lateral single-position confers the best outcomes.

Thermoelectric Prediction from Material Descriptors Using Machine Learning Technique
Authors: Sungphueng Pakawat , Amnuyswat Kittiphong
Published: May 2023

In this work, we employed a machine learning framework to predict the thermoelectric power factors of materials based on their composition and structure. To generate a broad range of materials for analysis, we sourced an existing dataset from the Materials Project database. The electronic transport properties, which serve as the output variables, were obtained from the same database via a Boltzmann transport theory calculation beyond ab-initio method. These properties were used to generate input data, or material descriptors, which rely solely on atomic information and crystal structure without recourse to density functional theory calculations. The descriptors were transformed into numerical features using the open-source software Matminer. Non-linear machine learning regression models were trained and tested on the transformed datasets, and their performance was evaluated. The optimized random forest model produced the most accurate predictions, with a yield of 88%. The ultimate goals of this research were to develop material selection strategies that bypass the need for self-consumption in density functional theory calculations, and to demonstrate the potential of machine learning models to describe the thermoelectric properties of existing materials datasets.
Giving civil society a stake in Ukraine’s recovery
Authors: Lutsevych Orysia
Published: May 2023

Over the past decade, Ukraine has shown that successful cooperation between state and citizens can deliver highly effective structural reforms. Building on this record, the country’s government and international partners now need to work with Ukraine’s civil society organizations (CSOs) to develop a clear framework that enables citizens and communities to play a full role in recovery planning, oversight and implementation. Citizens’ groups have been deeply involved in reconstruction and relief work since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022, but many feel they are sidelined by national and regional authorities when it comes to planning and delivering the recovery. Through mass engagement in grassroots activities under wartime conditions, millions of Ukrainians have skills and experience that will prove invaluable across all recovery tracks. These citizens want a greater stake in determining how their country will be rebuilt, and expect strong accountability from institutions that are there to serve the public interest. This briefing paper draws on insights from a Chatham House survey of Ukrainian CSOs conducted at the end of 2022. It examines their ambitions for engagement in recovery planning and delivery, as well as their perceptions of the factors that might jeopardize modernization and reform as the country rebuilds from the war, and sets out practical steps to foster effective and sustainable cooperation between the state and civil society.

Gezag door mysterie. Transparantieverplichtingen voor rechters voor giften, nevenbetrekkingen en financiële belangen

Transparantie bij rechtspraak is niet vanzelfsprekend. Lang is het transparantie-uitgangspunt geweest dat de rechter – een instituut – slechts sprak door het vonnis. Dat idee is in de afgelopen jaren sterk veranderd.

Dit artikel onderzoekt verscheidene typen transparantieverplichtingen voor rechters en rechtspraak, variërend van (interne) meldplichten, (interne) toestemmingsvereisten tot (interne en externe) registratieverplichtingen.

Kort gezegd (i) ontbreken transparantieverplichtingen ten aanzien van toegestane giften, (ii) zijn transparantieverplichtingen behoorlijk uitgewerkt ten aanzien van nevenfuncties maar is de handhaving gebrekkig en (iii) ontbreken transparantieverplichtingen ten aanzien financiële belangen van rechters maar wordt in dit opzicht een meldplicht verwacht.

Uit de evaluatie blijkt dat – wanneer de (gerichte) meldplicht inzake financiële belangen wordt ingevoerd – de regelingen in internationaal opzicht langzamerhand ergens op beginnen te lijken. Toch behoeft dit stelsel op belangrijke punten versterking. Deze zaken kunnen immers twijfels oproepen over magistratelijke kernwaarden als onafhankelijkheid, onpartijdigheid en integriteit van zowel individuele rechters als de rechtspraak als geheel. Datzelfde zou overigens ook kunnen worden gezegd over transparantie ten aanzien van andere onderwerpen als disciplinaire maatregelen en zaakstoedeling.

Algebra becomes an essential topic for all school mathematics topics. Nevertheless, many students still experience difficulties in learning algebra, one of them is senior high school students in Yayasan Graha Asuh Jabal 165, Kabupaten Bandung. Lack of effective learning activity in the class becomes the primary source for students’ difficulty. As an attempt to overcome this problem, the theory of didactic situation (TDS) could be adopted as a reference to implement the learning activity that possibly engages the students to be more active in the learning process. Therefore, this activity is held to help students in understanding the concept of algebraic forms with the learning based on the TDS. The method of this activity consisted of three stages, that was 1) the analysis of students’ difficulty in understanding the algebraic forms, 2) the learning implementation based on the TDS, and 3) the evaluation of students’ learning. The result shows that in the analysis stage, many students did not understand the concept of variables, coefficients, constants, equations, and algebraic operations. The next stage is learning implementation based on the TDS which comprises of the situation of action, formulation, validation, and institutionalization. The last one is evaluation where all students manage to understand the concept of algebraic forms and their application in daily life. This shows an improvement of their conceptual understanding in algebra.

Telemedicine: Physicians Would Be Prudent to Mitigate Liability Risk
Authors: Paterick Timothy
Published: May 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the widespread introduction and use of telemedicine in academic and private practices across the United States. Physicians were introduced to telemedicine without an understanding of how their fiduciary duties were to be handled in this new paradigm of a doctor–patient relationship over video-conferencing. The learning curve is steep, and there are many medical, legal, and ethical issues that need to be understood for physicians to meet the new duties of telemedicine and avoid the potential for liability.

Authors: Costa Moab César Carvalho , Silva Samuel Marques
Published: May 2023

O presente artigo é originado da pesquisa realizada na cidade de Imperatriz sobre a presença de negros escravizados na região Tocantina do Maranhão, no período de 1852 a 1888, e teve como corpus documental os arquivos paroquiais da Igreja Santa Tereza D’Ávila, mais especificamente os livros de assento de batismos e casamentos, bem como os jornais de época. As análises tanto dos arquivos da paróquia, como dos jornais da temporalidade da pesquisa e também dos registros das juntas de classificação, apresentaram grande potencialidade no sentido de suprir lacunas  acerca da cidade de Imperatriz e da Região Tocantina do Maranhão, revelando a existência de uma economia com base escravista, bem como, aspectos da vida cotidiana de sua população na segunda metade do século XIX.
