Who Is Successful in Foreign Exchange Margin Trading? New Survey Evidence from Japan
Authors: Hayo Bernd , Iwatsubo Kentaro
Published: September 2022

We use a 2018 survey of FX margin traders in Japan to investigate which key factors influence their trading performance: socio-demographic and economic situation, investment strategy and trading behaviour, and/or financial literacy. We study this question using general-to-specific modelling and impulse-indicator saturation. First, the data show that variables from all three groups are significant predictors of traders’ performance. Second, we find that older traders and those without a specific trading strategy demonstrate lower performance. Performance is higher for those who trade greater amounts, rely more on fundamental analysis, and report having profitable FX trade skills. Third, respondents’ subjectively stated claim of having FX trade skills is based on a more advanced understanding of FX trading and a reliance on professional advice. Neither objective financial knowledge nor over/underconfidence play a noteworthy role in the performance of margin traders.

Published: September 2022

This paper investigates the selection of the best suitable eco-friendly organic and in-organic refrigerants for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and renewable energy devices. Inorganic and organic refrigerants are used to cool renewable energy devices, such as solar cells, photovoltaics, and electronic devices. Owing to the renewable energy community’s importance, development in this area has rapidly improved over the past few years. R134a, R404, and R717 have become the most used refrigerants in the HVAC sector and supermarkets across the globe for both cooling and frozen food refrigeration. R134a and R404A have two significant drawbacks: (a) they do not attain optimal energy efficiency in many applications, and (b) they have a large global warming potential (GWP). Hence, optimization experiments were performed to select low global potential refrigerants for replacing R134a and R404A from the HVAC sector and supermarkets using multi-criteria making (MCDN) tools. The techniques used for investigation involved (i) the technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), (ii) evaluation based on distance from average solution (EDAS), and (iii) multi-objective optimization based on ratio analysis (MOORA). The assessment criteria of optimization involved (i) thermo–physical properties of refrigerants, (ii) environmental aspects of refrigerants, and (iii) economic status of refrigerants. Out of 27 refrigerants chosen for the study, R290 (PROPANE) aced the selection by all the three techniques, i.e., TOPSIS, EDAS, and MOORA, with assessment scores of 0.6056, 0.6761, and 0.466, respectively. R41 (FLUOROMETHANE) is the least preferred refrigerant by EDAS (assessment score—0.3967) and MOORA, while R407C is the least preferred by TOPSIS (assessment value—0.5123). The likelihood of making a bad refrigerant decision may be reduced by the effective evaluation of the MCDM analysis. In conclusion, the suggested MCDM technique provides a practical tool and systematic way for reducing the number of options and may be utilized to identify the ideal refrigerant.

Published: September 2022

Returnable transport items (RTIs) are widely used in multimodal transport systems. However, due to the lack of effective tracking methods, RTIs management efficiency is low and RTIs are easily lost, which directly and indirectly causes economic losses to enterprises. Internet of Things (IoT) technology is proved to be effective in realizing real-time tracking and tracing of various objects in diverse fields. However, an IoT-enabled RTIs management system in a multimodal transport system has not been widely accepted due to a lack of an effective cost decision model. To address these problems, this research first presents three typical schemes of RTIs management. through extensive field studies on collaborative logistics service providers in multimodal transport systems. Then, the cost–benefit analyses of these three schemes are conducted while the decision models on whether to adopt IoT technologies are built. Finally, based on the decision models, the main factors affecting the application of IoT-RTIs management systems are studied by numerical analysis, based on which several managerial implications are presented. These results can serve as a theoretical basis for enterprises interested in finding out whether IoT technology should be used in RTIs management.

Published: September 2022

In the future, Indonesia will become increasingly dependent on dryland agriculture. New adaptive technology innovations able to transform drylands into arable land throughout almost the entire year have been developed to anticipate global climate change in tropical areas. This article reviews the results of research on the importance of climate and water management technology to increase the crop index and productivity in Indonesia. We found that irrigation treatment at 80% of the FAO-recommended rate resulted in the highest maize stover yield (around 13.65–14.10 t h−1). Irrigation treatment at 60% of the FAO-recommended rate for soybeans (at 0.24 L s−1 h−1) produced good-quality soybean seeds. The use of existing water resources can increase the planted area from 1.25 to 1.67 and increase the cropping index during the second planting season in the same area. Agricultural systems based on water management can improve their crop index and productivity, and anticipate climate change to increase farmers’ incomes and wellbeing. Support measures in the form of regulations, legislation, acts, programmes, and policies from central and local governments for land use and management are crucial. The development of infrastructure by establishing water management institutions at the village/farmers’ group levels to allocate irrigation water is a leverage point to develop dryland agricultural systems appropriately and judiciously to assist in sustainable development.

Authors: Akram Saqib , Fakhar Muhammad Salman , Kashif Syed Abdul Rahman , Abbas Ghulam , Ullah Nasim , Mohammad Alsharef , Farrag Mohamed Emad
Published: September 2022

The short-term hydrothermal scheduling (STHTS) problem has paramount importance in an interconnected power system. Owing to an operational research problem, it has been a basic concern of power companies to minimize fuel costs. To solve STHTS, a cascaded topology of four hydel generators with one equivalent thermal generator is considered. The problem is complex and non-linear and has equality and inequality constraints, including water discharge rate constraint, power generation constraint of hydel and thermal power generators, power balance constraint, reservoir storage constraint, initial and end volume constraint of water reservoirs, and hydraulic continuity constraint. The time delays in the transport of water from one reservoir to the other are also considered. A supervised machine learning (ML) model is developed that takes the solution of the STHTS problem without PDZ, by any metaheuristic technique, as input and outputs an optimized solution to STHTS with PDZ and valve point loading (VPL) effect. The results are quite promising and better compared to the literature. The versatility and effectiveness of the proposed approach are tested by applying it to the previous works and comparing the cost of power generation given by this model with those in the literature. A comparison of results and the monetary savings that could be achieved by using this approach instead of using only metaheuristic algorithms for PDZ and VPL are also given. The slipups in the VPL case in the literature are also addressed.
Linear Regression Machine Learning Algorithms for Estimating Reference Evapotranspiration Using Limited Climate Data
Authors: Kim Soo-Jin , Bae Seung-Jong , Jang Min-Won
Published: September 2022

A linear regression machine learning model to estimate the reference evapotranspiration based on temperature data for South Korea is developed in this study. FAO56 Penman–Monteith (FAO56 P–M) reference evapotranspiration calculated with meteorological data (1981–2021) obtained from sixty-two meteorological stations nationwide is used as the label. All study datasets provide daily, monthly, or annual values based on the average temperature, daily temperature difference, and extraterrestrial radiation. Multiple linear regression (MLR) and polynomial regression (PR) are applied as machine learning algorithms, and twelve models are tested using the training data. The results of the performance evaluation of the period from 2017 to 2021 show that the polynomial regression algorithm that learns the amount of extraterrestrial radiation achieves the best performance (the minimum root-mean-square errors of 0.72 mm/day, 11.3 mm/month, and 40.5 mm/year for daily, monthly, and annual scale, respectively). Compared to temperature-based empirical equations, such as Hargreaves, Blaney–Criddle, and Thornthwaite, the model trained using the polynomial regression algorithm achieves the highest coefficient of determination and lowest error with the reference evapotranspiration of the FAO56 Penman–Monteith equation when using all meteorological data. Thus, the proposed method is more effective than the empirical equations under the condition of insufficient meteorological data when estimating reference evapotranspiration.
Scaling Local Bottom-Up Innovations through Value Co-Creation
Authors: Marradi Chiara , Mulder Ingrid
Published: September 2022

Bottom-up initiatives of active citizens are increasingly demonstrating sustainable practices within local ecosystems. Local urban farming, sustainable agri-food systems, circular supply chains, and community fablabs are exemplary ways of tackling global challenges on a local level. Although promising in accelerating towards future-proof systems, these hyper-localized, bottom-up initiatives often struggle to take root in new contexts due to embedded socio-cultural challenges. With the premise that transformative capacity can be co-created to overcome such scaling challenges, the current work addresses the identified gap in scaling bottom-up initiatives into locally embedded ecosystems. While how to diffuse such practices across contexts is not straightforward, we introduce a three-phased approach enabling knowledge exchange and easing collaboration across cultures and ecosystems. The results allowed us to define common scalability criteria and to unfold scaling as a multi-step learning process to bridge identified cognitive and context gaps. The current article contributes to a broader activation of impact-driven scaling strategies and value creation processes that are transferable across contexts and deemed relevant for local ecosystems that are willing to co-create resilient socio-economic systems.

We presented a flow cytometry protocol to isolate and measure the cellular component of tumour immune microenvironment (TIME) of mice bearing breast cancer models. The immune cells infiltrating the tumour microenvironment (TME) have been getting more attention as the determination of their pro- or/and anti-tumorigenic activity contributes to cancer treatment success. In addition, our group has a strong interest to investigate the infiltration of eosinophils within the TME as their tumorigenic role is still unclear. This study aims to measure the immune cells infiltrating the TME, including eosinophils using flow cytometry with 6-colour detection. The single-cell suspensions derived from tumour sections of mice bearing EMT6 tumour model were harvested (n=4) and treated with CD45, Siglec-F, I-A/I-E, CD 11b, and Ly6G antibodies. A gating protocol was used based on the reported publications. Results showed that immune cells in the tumour section were detected by positive staining to CD45. Neutrophils were isolated based on Ly6G+, while the remaining granulocytes, such as macrophage and dendritic cells (DC), were isolated based on I-A/I-E+SCChi, and eosinophils on the positive expression of Siglec F. Overall, our tumour model presented with the highest percentage of neutrophils (63.05 ± 5.61%), while eosinophils constitute 1.64 ± 0.75% of the total population. In conclusion, our flow cytometric protocol with 6 colour detection are able to isolate and measure several immune cells within the TME, including eosinophils from the tumour section.

The purpose of this paper is to question the mission of universities explicitly undertake vocational training, not to mention their vocational task. He broke methodologically of an inquiry into official statements of several public and private universities in the country noting that none of them mentioned the vocation as part of the institutional mission. In contrast, authors who have addressed the vocation as the foundation of a college education and a truly productive life were consulted; instead of the profession as a mere preparation for the labor market and the exploitation of labor alienating university. The primary contribution is sought is to invite university academics to reflect on the need to rescue the vocation as a call conscious development of human potential to turn them into acting abilities. After all, college are responsible for their educational privilege, to lead society worthy paths, and the culture of vocation is the natural way for this mission.

Published: September 2022

Given the severity of the environmental problems that the world is facing, it is clear that to ignore the principles of sustainable development is both irresponsible and unjustifiable in any sector of a national economy. Although right now environmental enterprises stand out among business entities, there is every reason to believe that eventually all economic actors will have to attain attributes that prove their adherence to the sustainable development principles. Environmental entrepreneurship is, in fact, a qualitative feature of entrepreneurship in general. At the present stage of social development, corporate social responsibility is largely environmental by nature. The paper aims to develop a set of methodological and practical guidelines for the development of environmental entrepreneurship within the framework of public-private partnerships. This has never been done before in such a context and thus constitutes the paper’s scientific contribution, as unlike the existing guidelines, this particular set is established by identifying and ordering the structural elements of environmental entrepreneurship and distinguishing its development stages.
APPROACHES TO ESTIMATING INDIRECT COSTS IN HEALTHCARE: MOTIVATIONS FOR CHOICE
Authors: MENNINI Francesco Saverio , GITTO Lara
Published: September 2022

When performing health economic evaluations all costs and expected benefits (in terms of clinical effectiveness, utility, monetary benefits) should be taken into account. Costs are direct and indirect: concerning the latter, two main methods have been developed. The Human Capital Approach (HCA) considers the gross salary in the days of absence from work due to illness; the method based on the Friction Costs (FC), instead, considers equally the value of productivity, but the losses are limited to the period of illness when it is necessary to replace the absent worker. This paper conducts a review of the literature contributions for European countries and aims at identifying common trends within geographical areas. Estimation of indirect costs in different European areas may reflect the real cost of health services across countries and schematize the conditions under which a certain method should be preferred. Overall, cost analyses applying HCA are the most frequent, while studies based on FC are more common in the Netherlands, where this method had been developed. The reasons to apply HCA or FC may depend on the institutional context, for example, the flexibility in the job market, and the epidemiologic environment.

Indonesia merupakan daerah rawan terhadap bencana hidrometeorologi, gempa bumi dan tsunami. Sebagai bagian dari Wilayah Indonesia, Kelurahan Jurang Mangu Timur, Kecamatan Pondok Aren, Kota Tangerang Selatan, Propinsi Banten merupakan tempat yang rawan banjir, terutama dengan perkembangan pemukiman yang sangat pesat sehingga merubah penggunaan lahan. Badan Meteorologi Klimatologi dan Geofisika (BMKG) sebagai lembaga yang berupaya menyediakan informasi peringatan dini sebelum kejadian bencana geo-hidrometeorologi. Namun demikian masih terdapat gab antara informasi yang disediakan, dengan akses dan pemahaman yang ada di masyarakat. Berdasarkan missing link tersebut, maka perlu adanya suatu upaya untuk memberikan pemahaman lebih baik lagi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah meningkatkan optimalisasi informasi peringatan dini ini terutama di daerah perkotaan. Untuk menggali pemahaman masyarakat dilakukan melalui edukasi secara offline maupun online mengikuti perkembangan masyarakat perkotaaan yang terbiasa menggunakan sarana tersebut. Berdasarkan hasil survey menunjukkan pengetahuan masyarakat akan lembaga yang menangani bencana masih sangat kurang, dimana BMKG dan Sekolah Tinggi Meteorologi, Klimatologi dan Geofisika (STMKG) berturut-turut 49% dan 39%. Ketidaktahuan akan kedua lembaga ini sebanding dengan disinformasi terhadap istilah-istilah geohidrometeorologi terlihat dari jawaban responden pada pertanyaan-pertanyaan kejadian tornado, tsunami, gelombang panas, perubahan iklim, fenomena cuaca dingin, cuaca panas, Â dan hubungan virus covid dengan cuaca panas yang dipahami kurang tepat.

Гуманізація освіти, а особливо вищої освіти, відіграє значну роль у вирішенні питання "Становлення особистості в «розумному» суспільстві", де ключовим інструментом є саме гуманізація вищої освіти. Суть якої, в умовах самознищення історично - сформованих соціальних форм людини на засадах демократизації та моралі, і дає нам формування нової сучасної особистості.

Epithelial tumors of the thymus occur in the thymus and include thymomas and carcinomas of the thymus. Thymomas are the most common primary tumor in the anterior mediastinum, but are generally rare (1.5 cases / 1,000,000). Although thymomas can spread locally, they are much less invasive than thymic carcinomas. Patients with thymic carcinomas often have metastases. The 5-year survival of patients with thymoma reaches 90%. At the same time, the 5-year survival rate for thymic carcinoma is approximately 55% (NCCN Guidelines. Version 1.2020). Surgical treatment as an independent method can be used only when there are thymus tumors in encapsulated and minimally invasive tumors in the first degree, rarely in the second degree. In all other cases, patients are subject to combined, complex or conservative treatment. In combined and complex treatment, preference should be given to neoadjuvant methods, which allows to achieve regression of the tumor, reduces its volume, limits the invasion of surrounding tissues, as well as to transform the inoperable process into operability.

In combined and complex treatment, preference should be given to neoadjuvant methods, which allows to achieve regression of the tumor, reduces its volume, limits the invasion of surrounding tissues, as well as to transform the inoperable process into operability. Endovascular technologies, namely regional chemotherapy, in the preoperative period, as a preparatory stage, will increase the level of ablastics and antiblastics in surgical treatment of thymus and reduce the percentage of cytostatics on the whole body, as in intravenous administration. At patients with a paraneoplastic syndrome it is necessary to increase term of regression of displays of these syndromes. Intra-arterial administration of chemotherapeutics has certain advantages: • cytostatics in the arteries that supply blood to the tumor are injected directly into the affected area, which allows you to significantly increase the concentration of the drug in the tumor itself; • reduces the toxic effects of chemotherapy on the whole body; • longer action of drugs allows long-term contact of the cytostatic with tumor cells at all stages of the cell cycle.

The study about the efficacy of yoga on second stage progress in third trimester pregnant. Labor is a journey process that will be experienced by pregnant women at the end of pregnancy after entering the age of 36 weeks under normal conditions. Labor will cause feelings of worry for a mother, but childbirth can be passed safely and comfortably without trauma. Prenatal yoga is considered as an alternative to non-conventional efforts to help pregnant women prepare physically, mentally and spiritually for the birth process. This study aims to determine the effect of prenatal yoga on the length of the second stage of labor at Mitra Sehat Mandiri Clinic. The study was conducted with an analytical design with a quasi-experimental primigravida method in the third trimester with a sample of 30 pregnant women who were divided into two groups, namely 15 maternity mothers who attended prenatal yoga and 15 who did not participate in prenatal yoga. Data analysis used independent t statistical test. The average length of the second stage of labor for women who took part in prenatal yoga was 21.66 with a standard deviation of 1.17, while those who did not do yoga were 42.76 with a standard deviation of 2.98. The conclusion is that there is an effect of third trimester yoga exercise on the length of the second stage of labor in mothers with P value = 0.000. Mothers who practice prenatal yoga before delivery will be better prepared to face labor, focus their thoughts and provide inner peace.

Objetivo: conhecer os custos com tratamento do pé diabético no Brasil. Método: Revisão narrativa com pesquisas feitas no Brasil através de artigos publicados nos períodos de 2011 a 2021. Resultados: Foram encontrados três artigos relacionados ao tema proposto. Nos estudos 1 e 2 foram realizadas pesquisas de custos com tratamento de pé diabético através de análises retrospectivas em prontuários de pacientes em instituições hospitalares, e no estudo 3 um levantamento de estimativa de custo no Brasil tanto a nível ambulatorial quanto hospitalar, utilizando diferentes metodologias. Como resultados, estimou-se os valores médios por paciente para o tratamento hospitalar do pé diabético de R $4.367,05 no estudo 1 e R $4.735,98 no estudo 2. Já no estudo 3, as estimativas foram de Int $27,7 (13%) milhões para atendimento de pacientes internados e de Int $333,5 (87%) milhões para o atendimento ambulatorial. Conclusão: Os resultados dos estudos apontam elevados custos com tratamento do pé diabetico.

In practice, in many cases it is necessary to measure the value of cross-correlation coefficient between two random signals. While calculating the value of cross-correlation coefficient between the two noise generators output signals at the indoor workplace there is always an etheric interference that significally distorts the measurement results. When there is no possibility to use existing methods for removing interference while making measurements, the new method for calculating cross-correlation coefficient between two random signals in the presence of etheric interference that can be used to evaluate the special properties of the noise generators is developed by the authors of this article. The first part of the article reviews existing methods of making measurements for calculating cross correlation coefficient between two random signals in the presence of etheric interference. The second part introduced the new method and gives some examples of calculating cross-correlation coefficient by this method. During the study it was found that the value of cross-correlation coefficient of the two noise generators output signals depends on the value of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) (i.e., on the value of power of correlated part in both noise generators output signals). Practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using the method for calculating cross-correlation coefficient between the two noise generators output signals in the presence of etheric interference when it is impossible to use EMI shielded room to make measurements.
