Published: September 2024

The purpose of this study was to assess changes in one-repetition (1RM) strength performances during summer training in college football players who remained on-campus and those who did not. NCAA Division II players (n = 85, weight = 102.2 ± 22.8 kg) self-selected to stay on-campus for 90% of the summer (ES, n = 14), 50% of the summer (PS, n = 24), and 0% of the summer (NS, n = 47). 1RM for bench press (BP) and squat (SQ) were performed at the beginning of summer and prior to fall training camp. Each player received individualized resistance training programs throughout the summer based on pre-test maximal strength measurements. Comparison of post-training BP improvement scores indicated significantly greater gain (p<0.01) for ES and PS (10.5 ± 8.5 kg and 8.0 ± 6.2 kg, respectively) than for NS (1.5 ± 5.1 kg). Post-training gain scores for SQ indicated ES (39.4 ± 30.6 kg) was significantly greater than PS (22.7 ± 18.8 kg) which was significantly greater than NS (1.7 ± 10.7 kg). Whether due to more consistent routine of training and/or greater motivation, resistance training under the supervision of a strength and conditioning specialist during the summer produced significantly greater improvements in both BP and SQ for those athletes who remained on-campus compared to those players who left campus for the entire summer.

The article raises the question of the formation ofmathematical thinking in students on the basis of mathematical thinking and its significance, as well as the solution of word problems. Thinking mathematically must be one of the most important human skills of the twenty-first century. And the place where a person develops mathematical thinking is high school. This is due to the fact that not all graduates continue their education in higher educational institutions, and secondly, even if a graduate enters a university, he may or may not have mathematics. And we think that the basis for the formation of mathematical thinking in secondary school is the solution of general problems, including textual ones. The solution to the word problem is based on the “Practice - Theory – Practice” system.

Authors:   Data Scientist, Facebook Inc, Menlo Park, CA, USA, Kumar Saurabh
Published: September 2024

This paper explores advanced techniques for testing and comparing multiple marketing campaign variants to enhance decision-making and optimize campaign performance. Traditional A/B testing, while useful, has limitations when evaluating more than two variants simultaneously. To address these challenges, the paper delves into multivariate testing and statistical methods such as ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) and post-hoc tests like Tukey’s HSD, which are essential for identifying significant differences between multiple groups. The importance of controlling for Type I errors, especially in the context of multiple comparisons, is highlighted by employing techniques like the False Discovery Rate (FDR). Practical examples using synthetic data are presented to demonstrate the application of these methods in real-world marketing scenarios. The results illustrate how these advanced techniques can provide deeper insights into customer behavior and campaign effectiveness, enabling more informed and data-driven decisions. By utilizing these methods, marketing professionals can gain a better understanding of the impact of different campaign elements, leading to more effective and targeted marketing strategies. This paper serves as a guide for marketers seeking to advance beyond basic A/B testing towards more robust and comprehensive analysis techniques.

Effect of Climate Change on Risk Management Practices in Agriculture in Switzerland
Authors: Frei Samuel
Published: September 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to examine the effect of climate change on risk management practices in agriculture in Switzerland.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: The impact of climate change on risk management practices in Swiss agriculture has become increasingly significant. Farmers in Switzerland are facing heightened risks due to more frequent and severe weather events, such as droughts, floods, and temperature extremes. These changes have led to a greater emphasis on adaptive strategies, including diversified cropping, improved irrigation techniques, and the adoption of climate-resilient crop varieties. Additionally, there is an increased reliance on agricultural insurance and government-supported risk management programs to mitigate financial losses.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Theory of resilience, adaptive management theory & climate risk management theory may be used to anchor future studies of climate change on risk management practices in agriculture in Switzerland. Practically, there is a need for the development and implementation of tailored risk management strategies that address region-specific challenges and opportunities. Policy frameworks must be updated to support effective climate change adaptation in agriculture. Governments and policy-makers should develop and implement policies that promote the adoption of climate-smart practices and provide financial and technical support to farmers.

Correlation analysis showed a weak negative association between avoidant attachment and overall delinquency. The findings suggest that attachment styles influence delinquency among adolescents in reintegration centers. Further research is needed to explore the underlying mechanisms of this relationship. The study highlights the potential importance of interventions that address attachment issues and cater to the specific needs of adolescent males in these settings.

Published: September 2024

The impact of bribery and corruption in Sri Lanka has paved the way to establish a permanent Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery and Corruption with an objective to the institution of prosecutions for offences under the Bribery Act and the Declaration of Assets and Liabilities Law. The basic structure of the Bribery Commission is outlined in the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption Act(CIABOC) and consequently, the legal framework has been developed from time to time. The research problem of the present study focuses on how the CIABOC has been effective in performing its duties as envisaged by the State. Data collected through library research method and available written sources and the findings indicate that the cooperation received from the general public in running the CIABOC smoothly is insufficient due to various factors such as fears of reprisals from culprits, inadequate communication between complainants and the CIABOC, delaysin making complaints, lack of staff and lack of remuneration for the officials and all this militate against the performance of the GIABOC. The study proposes the amendment of the Bribery and Corruption Act as a timely requirement and the provision of adequate financial facilities and new recruitments to the staff to speed up the progress of the Commission to investigate bribery and corruption in Sri Lanka.
