Genetic Algorithm and LSTM Artificial Neural Network for Investment Portfolio Optimization
Authors: Flores-Fernandez Gustavo A. , Jimenez-Carrion Miguel , Gutierrez Flabio , Sanchez-Ancajima Raul A.
Published: July 2024

The present research aimed to construct a genetic algorithm and artificial neural network to optimize investment portfolios, considering that in modern investment portfolio theory, optimization is a multi-objective problem involving maximizing return and minimizing volatility, also known as risk. This opens up the possibility of a highly combinatorial solution space, making it a computationally complex problem that cannot be solved by deterministic algorithms. To achieve the objective, 255 companies operating within the Peruvian national market and listed on the Lima Stock Exchange were evaluated. The research resulted in a mean squared error of 6.33%, a mean absolute error of 5.07%, and an accuracy of 92.35% related to the artificial neural network, indicating an acceptable generalization capacity for predicting positive trends in the stocks to be used as inputs for the genetic algorithm. Regarding the genetic algorithm, a quality function was successfully modeled, considering 5 factors related to the profitability and volatility of the stocks, as well as portfolio diversification. Ultimately, the best configuration of the genetic algorithm was found to have a fitness value of 0.772482, translating to a return of 1.00058% and volatility of 0.00612%. It is concluded that the genetic algorithm optimizes investment portfolios by achieving higher returns and lower volatility compared to other methods, with volatility specifically being a much lower percentage.
Heart Sound Analysis Using SAINet Incorporating CNN and Transfer Learning for Detecting Heart Diseases
Authors: Sathyanarayanan S. , Murthy K. Srikanta
Published: July 2024

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Accurate and early diagnosis of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is essential for its timely treatment and management. However, this is challenging because traditional techniques for detecting heart diseases, such as auscultation, are highly subjective and prone to error. This study addresses this issue by building a novel customised deep learning architecture, SAINet, for automated CVD detection through heart sound analysis. Research is being conducted on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse phonocardiograms to detect CVD. This study aims to address this challenge by detecting heart disease using a novel customised neural network consisting of transfer learning techniques and convolutional neural networks to analyse heart sounds with increased accuracy, precision and recall and reduced computational complexity compared when compared to others. Approximately 1000 recordings of heart sounds were used to train and test the model. Data augmentation was performed to increase the size of the training data. Two combinations of datasets were used in the experiments. The first combination consisted of two categories of heart sound recording: normal and abnormal. The second combination consisted of one normal and four different abnormal categories of heart sounds. An accuracy of 99.68% was achieved with the first combination, and 99.58% with the second combination. Both combinations yielded values above 99% for precision, recall, specificity, and the F1-score. The method proposed in this study is suitable for embedding CVDs in real-time devices such as an electronic stethoscope.

Authors: Khalife Dr. Danielle , Subrahmanyam Dr. Satya , Farah Dr. Assaad
Published: July 2024

The paper analyzed the function of Blockchain Technology (BT) in the Circular Economy (CE) to improve the performance of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). It presents a Sustainable Circular Business (SCB) model that utilizes BT to improve the performance of SMEs. A closed-ended questionnaire survey was conducted to gather cross-sectional data from 275 SMEs. A total of 400 questionnaires were issued, of which 285 were received. The CE method in Circular Supply Chain Management (CSCM) provides both ecological and economic advantages to organizations. The advent of the Industry 4.0 era has brought about a strong focus on technology across all industries. The emergence of BT, a relatively new phenomena, has significant potential for enhancing the processes of SMEs. The findings indicate that BT favors the CE due to its characteristics like exposure, accountability, relationship management, and smart contracting. Also, it has been discovered that adopting environmentally friendly methods had a beneficial connection with both the environmental and economic aspects of SMEs performance. Additionally, it was also seen that the ecological sustainability of the business had a favorable relationship with its economic well-being. Finally, it was discovered that both sustainability and economic capabilities were responsible for enhancing the performance of SMEs.
Liberalism and Confucianism as Normative Powers within Chinese-European Relations
Authors: Schuck Dirk ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: July 2024

This article is concerned with the normative power of cultural values within Chinese-European relations. It proposes that dialogue between European and Chinese stakeholders within educational, cultural, sociological, and philosophical institutions is of the utmost importance in paving a possible way for overcoming the current political crisis. European engagement with Chinese thought in early modernity and the recent reception of early Western liberalism in China both show that there is potential for a non-exclusionary assessment of the “other” in both political cultures. European policy should be aware of its historic potential for critical engagement with Chinese political history.

Authors: Sugianto Endrik
Published: July 2024

This study aims to analyze the effect of principal transformational leadership on teacher performance. Methods used are literature reviews. Transformational leadership is measured based on four main dimensions: charisma, inspiration, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration. Teacher performance was measured using indicators of attendance, teaching quality, professional development, and involvement in school activities. The regression analysis results show that principals’ transformational leadership has a positive and significant influence on teacher performance. Of the four dimensions of transformational leadership, the charisma and inspiration dimensions have the strongest influence on improving teacher performance. This study also found that intellectual stimulation and individualized consideration also contributed significantly, although on a smaller scale. The implication of these findings is that it is important for principals to apply transformational leadership style to improve teachers’ motivation and performance. Principals are advised to develop their leadership skills through training and self-development programs that focus on transformational aspects. Thus, it is expected that the quality of education in schools can be continuously improved.

Context.—

In 2022, 2 distinct guidelines for the diagnosis of myeloid neoplasms became available: the 5th edition of the World Health Organization guideline (WHO2022) solely and the International Consensus Classification (ICC). Despite major overlap, there are important differences that can have important implications.

Objective.—

To explore the current opinions and diagnostic practices of hemato-oncologists and hematopathologists across the United States.

Design.—

An online anonymous survey was created using REDCap, and a secure link was shared via email to fellowship program leaderships and via posts on social media.

Results.—

A total of 310 responses were obtained. Only 33 of 309 respondents (10.7%) reported using solely the 2016 World Health Organization guideline to make diagnoses, whereas 167 of 309 (54%) supplemented it with other guidelines. The rest were either not sure (17; 5.5%), used WHO2022 solely (46; 14.9%), or used ICC solely (6; 1.9%). The choice of guideline was not related to region (P = .15), practice setting (P = .86), or hospital size (P = .22). More than 90% reported it is a source of confusion in clinical diagnosis, management, trial design, and other areas.

Conclusions.—

Overall, our study found that having 2 distinct guidelines could be a source of confusion for physicians and calls for a unified diagnostic language.
Christian professional formation at Uganda Christian University : a reflection
Authors: Opol Samuel
Published: July 2024

Christian Professional Formation has been the hallmark of Uganda Christian University. Established by the Church of Uganda in 1997, the University has championed an explicitly Christian-based form of education. It has thereby distinguished itself as a University whose model of professional formation seeks to balance professional and Christian character formation. At its establishment, the University drew on the rich dual heritage of the Christian education, on the one hand, and on the American tradition of higher education, on the other. From these it furthered the motif of integration of faith in learning and service. The book tells the story of Uganda Christian University against the backdrop of the Church of Uganda’s use of education as mission. By so doing it shows how the founding fathers have taken the two traditions to enable the Church of Uganda to faithfully uphold its calling to education as mission. It draws on the tradition of virtue ethics, sociology of education and Christian worldview studies.

ЯЗЫКОВАЯ ОБЪЕКТИВАЦИЯ ЭТНОКУЛЬТУРНОЙ ИДЕНТИЧНОСТИ КАК НАУЧНАЯ ПРОБЛЕМА
Authors: Глушковски М. , Мусатаева М.Ш. , Какимова A.M.
Published: July 2024

В современном глобализирующемся мире проблема культурной идентичности изо дня в день все больше приобретает особую актуальность, основанием чему является  беспокойство этносов о возможности утраты собственной национальной культуры.  Большой круг проблем находит отражение и в языке масс-медиа, в связи с чем язык прессы в освещении вопросов этнокультурной идентичности вызывает большой исследовательский интерес   Целью статьи – репрезентация аксиологемы «этнокультурная идентичность» в языке казахстанской прессы. Основной идея: этнокультурная идентичность для казахстанского социума представляет огромную ценность. Тееоретическая значимость  – определенный вклад в лингвоаксиологию, расширяя традиционное представление  о состоянии этнокультурной идентичности в многонациональном и полиязычном казахстанском обществе, в котором  сохраняются сильные позиции русского языка. Практическая значимость – в возможности использования  данной статьи для дальнейших исследований этнокультурной идентичности. Методологическую основу статьи составляют труды ведущих отечественных и зарубежных ученых-лингвокультурологов,лингвоаксиологов, социологов и социолингвистов, имена и рассматривамеые ими проблемы которых приведены во вводной части статьи. Основной вывод проведенного исследования: несмотря на активные глобализационные процессы основным критерием этнокультурной идентичности для казахстанцев являются родной язык и своя  национальная культура. Ярким подтверждением тому являются положительные результаты рецептивного эксперимента среди студентов и школьников старших классов, которые, на первый взгляд, в большей степени подвержены влиянию глобализации. Это обстоятельство позволяет судить о том, что в казахстанском обществе очень сильна межпоколенная связь и преемственность традиционных духовных ценностей.

Objective: The purpose of this research was to evaluate and select the best architecture among native convolutional neural network (CNN), MobileNetV2, ResNet50V2, and EfficientNetB0 for predicting the endpoint of the high shear wet granulation process, with accuracy as the main evaluation metric. Methods: The dataset was captured from an industrial camera using static image analysis and was manually labeled as “NOT READY” and “READY” according to the traditional endpoint method based on the mixer’s ampere point in the granulator. The dataset contained a total of 180 images, which were split between training and validation sets. Native CNN and TensorFlow Keras application programming interface (API) were utilized with MobileNetV2, EfficientNetB0, and ResNet50V2 as base feature encoders. Hyperparameters, such as final Fully Connected (FC) layer width, dropout rate, and learning rate, were optimized for binary classification using Keras hyper tuning. Results: The best was the native CNN, it was also the fastest among the three other models, taking only 20-30 ms per step for inference during runtime, though it requires 9000 ms time for training, the longest time among the models. It achieved an accuracy of 98%, and a validation accuracy of 97%. Conclusion: The system was able to determine when a wet granulation process has reached its endpoint based on live images from a camera after being trained on previously labeled data. The native CNN was the best model, offering the fastest runtime performance and the highest accuracy.
The Influence of Overconfidence and Risk Perception on Investment Decisions: The Moderating Effect of Financial Literacy on Individual Millennial Generation Investors
Authors: Nadhila Adlina , Roy Sembel Roy Sembel , Malau Melinda
Published: July 2024

Investment has evolved from a mere societal desire to a necessity, driven by the quest for higher returns in a shorter time frame. The millennial generation, being the largest population in its productive years, holds a significant role in investment activities. However, many millennials face challenges in achieving their expected investment results, possibly due to factors such as inadequate financial literacy, deficient risk management, and overconfidence in their investment decisions. This study aims to scrutinize the impact of financial literacy, risk perception, and overconfidence on investment decisions among millennials in Jakarta, offering insights to both investors and practitioners. By testing financial literacy as a moderator in the relationship between risk perception, overconfidence, and investment decisions, the research fills a literature gap. Through a quantitative survey of 200 millennial investors in Jakarta and PLS-SEM analysis, the study reveals that overconfidence and risk perception positively influence investment decisions. Additionally, financial literacy moderates the effect of overconfidence but not risk perception on investment decisions. The findings provide valuable guidance for investors, emphasizing the crucial role of financial literacy in mitigating irrational behavior during decision-making, thereby influencing investment choices.
The Interplay of Magic Realism and Historical Realism: Amitav Ghosh's Novels
Authors: Deore Manisha ,   K.T.H.M. College (Research Centre) Nashik, Maharashtra
Published: July 2024

This abstract delves into the captivating blend of magic realism and historical realism in the works of renowned Indian author Amitav Ghosh. Ghosh, celebrated for his historical and socio-political narratives, occasionally infuses elements of magic realism into his storytelling. Notable novels such as “The Shadow Lines,” “The Calcutta Chromosome,” and “Sea of Poppies” serve as examples where Ghosh adeptly blurs the boundaries between the magical and the real. This research paper emphasizes the diverse ways in which Ghosh explores the interplay between reality and fantasy, encouraging the readers to engage with his narratives on multiple levels and promoting discussions about the thin boundaries of literary genres. Magic realism, which is generally characterized by the inclusion of supernatural or magical elements within a realistic backdrop, challenges the distinction between the extraordinary and the ordinary. Though it is associated with Latin American literature, this genre has been embraced and adapted by writers from a variety of cultural backgrounds. However, the complexities of Ghosh’s narratives and the depth of his characterizations leave room for diverse interpretations, possibly aligning with the principles of magic realism. This paper aims to illuminate the dynamic relationship between representing facts and stimulating the imagination, it also highlights the multi-faceted nature of literary genres and the subjective lens through which readers perceive and interpret literary works.

Published: July 2024

Soil is a critical component of terrestrial ecosystems, playing an invaluable role in supporting plant growth, regulating water and nutrient cycles, filtering pollutants, and providing habitat for soil organisms. However, increasing pressures from human activities, including intensive agriculture, deforestation, urbanization, and climate change are degrading soils across the world. Therefore, sustainable management of soil resources is imperative to ensure continued provisioning of ecosystem services, promote sustainable development outcomes, and help us to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This paper reviews literature across multiple disciplines to examine the vital links between soil and realization of the SDGs. Soil properties influence productivity and food security, water availability and quality, climate regulation through carbon storage, biodiversity conservation, and human health. Degraded soils undermine these ecosystem services, exacerbating poverty, hunger, and inequality. Research shows ecosystem-based approaches that prioritize soil health, including conservation agriculture, agroecology, and regenerative systems, can sustainably intensify agriculture while restoring multi-functionality. Additionally, nature-based solutions utilizing plant-soil interactions for restoration have demonstrated cost-effectiveness. Achieving land degradation neutrality is now an explicit target under the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), emphasizing the need to scale soil-focused initiatives within the SDG framework. Therefore, protecting and restoring global soil assets can serve as a nexus in policy frameworks to simultaneously advance progress across multiple SDGs.

Published: July 2024

La pandemia causada por el Covid-19 implicó un cambio abrupto en la educación y se pasó de la modalidad presencial a la educación remota de emergencia (ERT). El objetivo de este artículo es reportar las percepciones del cambio repentino de la modalidad presencial a la virtual que experimentaron algunos profesores de inglés como lengua extranjera a causa del COVID-19. El paradigma de investigación se enmarca en un estudio de caso con enfoque interpretativo y como instrumento de recolección de información se aplicó un cuestionario con preguntas abiertas. También se analizaron las comunicaciones de correo electrónico de los participantes para validar las respuestas. Los resultados indican que tanto percepciones positivas como percepciones negativas emergieron del análisis. Un contacto más cercano y directo entre los participantes, familiaridad o motivación por lo tecnológico, un mayor deseo por participar, y un alto grado de responsabilidad por parte de estudiantes y profesores fueron algunas de las percepciones positivas encontradas. En contraste, el aumento de trabajo, dificultades tecnológicas, desmotivación, falta de directrices por parte de institución educativa y formación en la virtualidad fueron algunas de las percepciones negativas.

Authors: Moore Florencia , Corengia Ángela , Rovelli Laura Inés
Published: July 2024

En el presente estudio se exploran y reconstruyen las dinámicas históricas que han impulsado la expansión del sector privado universitario en Argentina, así como la evolución de su cuerpo docente. Se analizan las principales tensiones surgidas en los distintos ciclos de reforma de la Educación Superior en el país. Así mismo, se identifican los principales factores que han influido en su crecimiento o ralentización, desde su creación hasta la consolidación actual, marcados por los cambios de gobierno y la influencia de sectores sociales en los diferentes momentos históricos en el marco de la compleja relación entre el estado, el mercado y la universidad, destacando cómo en las décadas más recientes ha habido una mayor convergencia entre estos actores. Inicialmente, los proyectos fundacionales del sector estaban mayormente impulsados por representantes de la religión católica, pero con el tiempo se diversificaron y ampliaron, involucrando a otros sectores de la sociedad, como militares, empresarios, políticos, científicos y académicos, quienes también buscaron influir en la creación de estas instituciones. Se concluye que, si bien el sector privado sigue siendo relativamente marginal en el sistema universitario argentino, ha experimentado un crecimiento constante y muestra una composición heterogénea en cuanto a las características e impronta de sus instituciones. Algunas de ellas han demostrado un mayor dinamismo para adaptarse a las políticas universitarias vigentes. Por último, a través del reclutamiento de investigadores y becarios del sistema científico tecnológico, ha logrado establecerse como referente en áreas específicas del conocimiento dentro del ámbito universitario nacional.

Published: July 2024

Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui bagaimana pengaruh Current Ratio (CR), Return on Assets (ROA), dan Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) terhadap return saham syariah dan nilai tukar sebagai variabel moderating. Penelitian ini menggunakan teknik purposive sampling pada perusahaan pertambangan yang terdapat pada index JII periode 2012–2021 dan didapatkan sebanyak 5 sampel perusahaan. Analisis data menggunakan regresi linier berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan secara parsial Current Ratio, Return on Assets, dan Debt to Equity Ratio tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap return saham. Hasil penelitian juga menunjukkan nilai tukar dapat memoderasi pengaruh Current Ratio, Return on Assets, dan Debt to Equity Ratio terhadap Return Saham. Keterbatasan dalam penelitian ini adalah hanya menggunakan sampel penelitian terbatas hanya pada sektor pertambangan yang tercatat di JII, hanya 5 dari 6 populasi yang dijadikan sampel penelitian, dan variabel penelitan yang terlalu umum diketahui oleh investor. Bagi penelitian selanjutnya, diharapkan dapat menambahkan variabel independen lainnya dan menambahkan variabel makroekonomi yang lain sebagai variabel moderasi.

Elektroautos, „Strafzölle“ und Klimaschutz
Authors: Tietje Christian
Published: July 2024

Internationale Wirtschaftsbeziehungen stehen selten im Zentrum öffentlicher Berichterstattung. Zwei Entscheidungen in den USA und der EU innerhalb von wenigen Wochen haben indes weitreichende Aufmerksamkeit gefunden. Es geht um die Erhebung von Zusatzzöllen auf Elektroautos aus China. Die Maßnahmen der USA verstoßen gegen das Recht der Welthandelsorganisation (WTO) und sind völkerrechtswidrig; bei den Maßnahmen der EU ist fraglich, ob Klimaschutz durch Verfügbarkeit günstiger Elektroautos hinreichend berücksichtigt wird.
