Authors: K. Jayarajan , Laxmiprasanna Banda , Shravya Chinthireddy , Laxmi Prasanna Akkamgari
Published: September 2024

An invaluable resource for understanding passenger boarding patterns and forecasting future travel demand is the tap-on smart-card data. Positive instances, on the other hand—boarding at a given bus stop at a certain time—are less common than negative instances when looking at the smart-card data (or instances) by boarding stops and by time of day. Machine learning algorithms that are used to estimate hourly boarding numbers at a certain location have been shown to be much less accurate when the data is imbalanced. Before using the smart-card data to forecast bus boarding demand, this research tackles the problem of data imbalance in the data. To create fake traveling instances to add into a synthetic training dataset containing more evenly distributed traveling and non-traveling examples, we suggest using deep generative adversarial networks (Deep-GAN). Next, a deep neural network, or DNN, is trained on the synthetic dataset to predict which instances from a given stop in a certain time frame will travel and which ones won't. According to the findings, resolving the data imbalance problem may greatly enhance the predictive model's functionality and make it more accurate in predicting ridership profiles. The suggested strategy may create a synthetic training set with a better similarity so diversity and, therefore, a stronger prediction capability, according to a comparison of the Deep-GAN's performance with other conventional resampling techniques. The study emphasizes the importance of the issue and offers helpful recommendations for enhancing the quality of the data and model performance for individual travel behavior analysis and travel behavior prediction.

The Dovring Saga
Authors: Myrdal Janken
Published: September 2024

Folke Dovring was a medieval historian in Sweden who tried around 1950 to introduce new ideas about history based on statistical analysis and history from below, publishing two books on medieval agrarian history that still remain important. His attempts, however, were made in vain. In 1953 he left Sweden for an international career, devoting himself to the study of the agrarian history of Europe in the 20th century, and in 1960 he became a tenured professor of Agricultural Economics at the University of Illinois, U.S.A.

Some major societal processes can be studied through the biography of Dovring. One involves European conservatism in the academic world. The second important process Dovring took part in was the expansion of American higher education. Dovring was one of the many scholars who left Europe in the 1950s to join the dynamic American academic community. When Dovring later shifted his focus from agrarian history to take up more political questions in the 1970s such as the oil crisis and environmental care his position became more isolated.

We highlight the importance and relevance of addressing this issue in relation to gaining a competitive advantage and achieving enterprise success. Particularly significant is its connection with the key performance indicators of an organization. In the literature review and overview of expert knowledge, we present the opinions of selected authors and their areas of research in relation to the issue at hand. Purpose of the article: The research aim was to explore the use of performance evaluation systems through key indicators from the perspective of intellectual capital. Methods: Based on the research questions and formulated hypotheses related to performance specifically, qualifications, education, self-development, and employee recruitment - we highlighted the interdependence of these phenomena and their mutual connection to employee satisfaction and engagement. For qualifications, a linear model resulted in a determination coefficient of 0.093. indicating a 9.3% degree of variability in relation to employee recruitment. For education, it was 2.7% in relation to satisfaction, and for engagement, it was as low as 1.64%. Findings & Value added: Based on the research findings and hypothesis testing, we can conclude that in industrial enterprises within the service sector, sufficient attention is not yet paid to working with intellectual capital, and the hypotheses related to this area of research were not confirmed. There is recommended intensifying work with intellectual capital and building learning and growth processes on enhancing these potentials in line with modern trends.

Published: September 2024

The pisciculture plays an important role in the economic dynamization of the municipality, small farmers and their families. Despite the fact that the families dedicated to this agricultural activity claim to obtain significant income, they do not keep a record that shows the economic profitability of their production system. The objective of this research study was to evaluate the current cost-benefit relationship in fish production on four farms in the municipality of La Plata, Huila. The management systems implemented on the farms were characterized, their profitability was analyzed, and the fish farmers' perception of their systems was identified. Qualitative methods such as field visits, interviews and quantitative methods such as surveys were used to collect the information and later systematize it using ATLAS.ti version 9.0 software. It was found that most of the producers choose to implement a semi-intensive system, which is related to the availability of resources they have on their farms and that part of the benefits are not only economic but also of high quality self-consumption, thus demonstrating that their system is an important source of family sustenance. Finally, it was found that the fish farmers are satisfied with their production systems.

Authors: Quispe Lizceth , Arauco Evelyn , Mauricio Esteban Celeste Abigail
Published: September 2024

Quality of working life (QWL) refers to a process that seeks to humanize the work environment, requiring an agreement between employers and workers on tasks and work environments, both physical and social. This concept goes beyond salary, encompassing dimensions such as identity, sense of belonging and social recognition, which directly influences people's quality of life. A narrative bibliographic review on the topic was conducted with the aim of investigating the concepts and research background on the evaluation of quality of working life and healthy lifestyles in nursing professionals. Quality of working life has become a topic of great importance internationally, especially in the context of a global labor crisis. In this scenario, job insecurity is increasing and the working conditions that have been achieved over the last two centuries are threatened, largely due to global capitalism. Studies on this topic suggest an interrelationship that could impact both the health of staff and the quality of patient care. Furthermore, the lack of healthy habits, such as physical activity and good nutrition, contributes to work-related stress in the nursing field, burnout syndrome and a negative perception of quality of life

With the continuous improvement of China's economic level, the living standard of the residents has been improving, so that people pay more attention to health. At the same time, the rising economic status of China has also made mergers and acquisitions (M&A) as one of the important means of capital market operation, while M&A and counter-mergers and acquisitions (CMA) are occurring frequently in China, and M&A and counter-mergers and acquisitions (CMA) are gradually becoming active in the health service industry. As a leading health management service provider, Aikang Guobin, in the face of fierce market competition and the wave of M&A in the industry, has adopted "poison pill plan", "white knight", "economic litigation" and other anti-M&A strategies against Meinian Health. In order to protect its own interests, it has adopted "poison pill plan", "white knight" and "economic litigation" against MNH. In this paper, we will analyse the motivation of Akcome's anti-M&A, the reasons why it decided to implement anti-M&A, and the strategies of the anti-M&A measures implemented. In order to investigate the anti-merger and acquisition (M&A) strategies adopted by enterprises in the face of M&A threats and their effects, we take the example of Akcome Guobin Health Checkup Management Group, analyze its anti-takeover motivation and adopt the game theory to study its anti-merger and acquisition strategies such as "Poisoned Pill", "White Knight" and "White Knight" from the perspectives of law, technology, stock market and so on." The research results indicate that the company's anti acquisition strategy is a good strategy. Akkang's anti merger strategy has a positive impact on maintaining market share, improving financial performance, and enhancing brand value. The game process between Akkang and Meinian is somewhat complex, involving information collection, risk management, cost considerations, and time dimensions.

This paper measures the development level of China-ASEAN financial cooperation with the help of the China-ASEAN Financial Cooperation Index from 2000 to 2022, and empirically examines the impact of China-ASEAN financial cooperation on the economic growth of ASEAN countries through the fixed effect model. The study shows that China-ASEAN financial cooperation significantly contributes to the economic growth of ASEAN countries by advancing financial development, improving the degree of financial stability, and expanding financial openness. Heterogeneity analysis found that the promoting effect of China-ASEAN financial cooperation on economic growth is more pronounced in countries with high institutional quality and high economic development level.

Az ukrajnai háború következtében kialakult menekültválság kapcsán Magyarország tranzitországnak számít. Az országon átutazó menekülők milliói, a nyugati országok stratégiájától eltérő lakhatási segítségnyújtást igényeltek. Tanulmányunkban azt járjuk körbe, hogy egy rendkívüli válsághelyzet, késlekedő állami szerepvállalás mellett, miként mobilizálja az állampolgárokat, az otthonukat elvesztőknek szolidáris szállásadást nyújtva. Ehhez nyújtanak empirikus alapot a szolidáris szállásadók körében lefolytatott interjúink és kvantitatív mérésünk (N=151). Eredményeink azt mutatják, hogy a szolidáris szállásadók többsége a nagyszámú átutazó, rövidtávú szállásigényére reagált. A feltártak alapján jelentős eltérés rajzolódik ki az állampolgárok által nyújtott szolidáris szállásadás és az egyéb önkéntes segítségi forma között, a kapcsolatba kerülési utak vonatkozásában: utóbbiak nagy része hálózatos alapon, a közösségi médiában szerveződött, míg a szolidáris szállásadások többsége spontán módon, peer to peer kezdeményezések keretében realizálódott.Kutatásunk a szállásadási szolidaritás tekintetében feltártakkal ráerősít azokra a tanulmányokra, melyek a közelmúlt, rendkívüli helyzetekben megmutatkozó magyarországi civil szolidaritás jelentőségére világítanak rá. Azonban arra is szeretné felhívni a figyelmet, hogy az önkéntes tevékenységek fenntarthatósága szervezeti támogatás nélkül hosszabb távon nem biztosítható.

Introduction: The maneuver to accentuate respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) demonstrates to be a convenient instrument to evaluate the autonomic modulation of individuals with chronic Chagas disease cardiomyopathy (CCC), even with medication influence, as T-cruzi causes an inflammatory process creating lesions in the cardiac nerve endings of patients affected by Chagas disease. Objective: To evaluate the autonomic modulation of heart rate (HR) at rest and during the respiratory sinus arrhythmia accentuation maneuver (RSA-M) in patients with CCC in stage B1. Methods: thirty-six individuals were evaluated, divided into the CCC group, composed of 18 patients with Chagas heart disease, and the control group, formed by 18 healthy individuals. Heart rate variability (HRV) was collected beat by beat using the electrocardiography system Wincardio USB, supine for 10 minutes, and during the RSA-M for 6 minutes. Results: We observed higher values of statistical significance in Control group for mean HR (p = 0.005), IRR (p = 0.007), and worse autonomic adjustments related to SD2 / SD1 (p = 0.001) concerning CCC group in a supine position. However, evaluating the RSA-M, we observed a statistical difference in the delta I-E (p = 0,039) and the E / I rate (p = 0.045) of the Control group in relation to the CCC group. Conclusion: Patients with CCC showed better cardiovascular condition and HR control compared to the group of healthy individuals at rest. However, when subjected to RSA-M, the results showed a reduction in vagal balance in the autonomic control of individuals with CCC.

Introdução: A alimentação equilibrada é um fator de suma importância para a obtenção de bons resultados na musculação, pois ajuda a melhorar o desempenho físico, na diminuição da fadiga muscular e na manutenção da massa magra. Objetivo: Investigar o consumo de carboidratos e a percepção de desempenho físico em praticantes de musculação. Métodos: estudo transversal, a coleta foi realizada de março a outubro de 2023 em uma academia. Foram aplicados questionários de avaliação nutricional incluindo dados pessoais e antropométricos; recordatório de 24 horas referente ao comportamento alimentar; Questionário Internacional de Educação Física adaptado e Escala de Borg para análise do rendimento dos participantes. Resultados: Amostra de 121 desportistas (68 mulheres, 53 homens), treinando 6 dias por 1h20min a 2h30min, com consumo inadequado de carboidratos, alto teor de massa gorda e treino moderado. Conclusão: Os praticantes não possuem uma alimentação adequada de carboidratos, influenciando negativamente na composição e no rendimento muscular. Palavras-chave: Treinamento de força; musculação; carboidratos; desempenho físico.
