Aerodynamic Efficiency Enhancement of Delta Wings for Micro Air Vehicles Using Shape-Optimization
Authors: Bomjan Gurung Bikalpa , Saha Sandeep
Published: September 2022

The performance of fixed-wing micro air vehicles (MAVs) is impaired due to their small size, operating speeds, and altitude leading to limited lift, aerodynamic efficiency (lift-to-drag ratio), and low gust resilience. Nonslender delta wings have high stall angle and maneuverability, which are desirable features for MAVs. However, the aerodynamic efficiency of delta-winged MAVs is low, thus impacting the overall performance. We optimize the aerodynamic efficiency of a flat-plate delta wing using the adjoint-based aerodynamic shape optimization method coupled with incompressible Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations. The optimization improves the aerodynamic efficiency from 6.2 to 10.2 at 5° angle of attack while satisfying lift and moment constraints. The optimized wing is significantly cambered, and the axial cross section reveals that a circular arc can approximate the optimized wing airfoil. A parametric study of the circular camber delta wings with a 0–7.5% camber-to-chord ratio reveals that an increase in camber leads to linear growth in the lift, whereas the drag shows a quadratic growth. Consequently, an optimum camber exists at 2.5% for maximizing the aerodynamic efficiency (9.3); the wing has aerodynamic characteristics closely resembling the optimized wing, thus revealing that the essence of the efficiency optimization process is to identify the optimal camber distribution.
Modeling and Design Methodology for the Development of Electro-Optical and Laser Systems
Authors: Kelchner Bryan L.
Published: September 2022

Modeling and simulation (M&S) plays a key role in the development of all systems, but especially so in the development and integration of electro-optical (EO) subsystems and lasers for precision strike applications or counter measures that require precise pointing control. Since the development of the first EO and laser systems, the directed energy community has pursued an evolving modeling and design (M&D) approach to support the development of these systems to provide the data and insights needed for the acquisition process. M&D is the lower-level detailed engineering models that are used to define and perfect the design (mechanical, optical, electrical, software), whereas M&S is typically the higher-level engagement models embedded in the mission and war game simulations. When the M&S is closely tied to the M&D, the M&S will accurately represent the system capabilities and limitations. This paper presents an M&D methodology that has matured over the past [Formula: see text] years and continues to be applied on current EO and laser programs. Similar to other development methodologies utilized by government agencies and industry, the M&D methodology is critical for airborne EO-laser systems, where the operating environment is especially hostile to achieving microradian pointing accuracy and jitter stability in the optical line of sight. Applying the M&D methodology early and often throughout the development process in conjunction with the model-based systems engineering approach, the M&S can fully integrate into the life cycle of EO-laser programs from the development of requirements, the verification of design, the prediction and verification of performance, and the defining of system capabilities and limitations, to the maintenance and upgrades to the system. This disciplined connectivity of M&S to the M&D will lead to cost-effective EO-laser systems.

Published: September 2022

An experimental study of the effect of longitudinal vortices generated by weak shock waves on the laminar-turbulent transition in the boundary layer of a flat plate at a Mach number 2 is conducted. To amplify the effect of the longitudinal vortices generation, a model with leading edge blunting radius of 0,5 mm was used. The disturbance intensity was measured with a constant temperature hotwire anemometer and a single-wire sensor. To change the Reynolds numbers in the flow, the method of varying the pressure in the pretest section of a supersonic wind tunnel was used. According to the experimental conditions, the level of mass flow perturbations in the test section T325 of ITAM SB RAS did not exceed 0,1 % of the mean flow in the frequency range from 0,2 to 50 kHz. In this work, it is obtained for the first time that stationary streamwise vortices that arise in the boundary layer of a flat plate because of the action of a pair of weak shock waves on its leading edge lead to an early laminar-turbulent transition at different Reynolds numbers. In the case of a homogeneous boundary layer, the transition is achieved at Rex≈ 3,1 × 106, and in measurements in the region of vortices from shock waves at Rex≈ 1,5 × 106and Rex≈ 2 × 106.

Published: September 2022

The authors describe a method for determining the critical point of a second order phase transitions using a convolutional neural network based on the Ising model on a square lattice. Data for training and analysis were obtained using Monte Carlo simulations. The neural network was trained on the data corresponding to the low-temperature phase, that is a ferromagnetic one and high-temperature phase, that is a paramagnetic one, respectively. After training, the neural network analyzed input data from the entire temperature range: from 0.1 to 5.0 (in dimensionless units J) and determined the Curie point Tc.

Authors: Babadjouni Arash , Phong Celine H , Raffi Jodie , Mesinkovska Natasha A
Published: September 2022

Introduction: Dermal “micro-injections" of botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) treatment can improve facial flushing and erythema in patients with refractory rosacea. We present a case of a patient with longstanding papulo-pustular rosacea with flushing, refractory to laser, topical and systemic therapies, where intradermal microdroplet BTX-A injections successfully controlled erythema and flushing.
Case Description: A 49-year-old White female with a 4-year history of refractory papulo-pustular rosacea presented with bright, central facial erythema and telangiectasias after failing multiple 595 nm pulsed dye laser, topical (azelaic acid 15% gel, 0.025% tretinoin cream, and metrocream 0.75%) and systemic (isotretinoin 20 mg daily, spironolactone 25 mg daily and doxycycline 100 mg twice daily for 14 days) treatments. At treatment 1, 20 U of BTX-A was injected intradermally (0.05 mL of 1.25 IU/0.1 mL per microdroplet) to erythematous lesion. Treatment 2 was performed at her 4 week follow-up were we administer 15 U of BTX-A intradermally (0.05 mL of 1.25 IU/0.1 mL per microdroplet) . The patient was seen 4, 8, and 16 weeks after her second treatment were no BTX-A was administered due to a significant reduction in erythema and lasting results.
Discussion: Significant clinical improvement and patient satisfaction was achieved. No adverse events were reported after treatment aside from mild, localized injection site pain during the procedure. BTX-A administered as intradermal microdroplet injects can be a safe and efficacious option in the treatment of refractory rosacea erythema. Microbotox may be an effective adjunct, especially when topical and systemic therapies have failed.
The Biett Collarette as an Important Dermascopic Finding of Secondary Syphilis
Authors: Ramesh Malvika , Purser Jeremy , Tarbox Michelle
Published: September 2022

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection that presents with cutaneous manifestations during the disease course. The lesions seen in secondary syphilis can manifest differently in each individual and resemble lesions seen in other conditions; thus, making the diagnosis difficult in some circumstances. The lesions in secondary syphilis can be distinguished by a peripheral scale surrounding each lesion, known as a Biett Collarette. This unique finding can be visualized better via dermoscopy. Given this historically hard to diagnose condition, looking for the Biett Collarette can aid providers in diagnosing secondary syphilis.    We encourage providers to look for this finding when presented with a vague maculopapular rash with secondary syphilis on the differential.

Authors: Lobo Joseph
Published: September 2022

Students' perception is critical because it provides essential information about the current benefits and challenges they are experiencing in the distance and online education setting. This study explores students' perception of physical education regarding the current educational environment in respect to gender, family accommodation, income, gadget, and source of internet connection. 262 1st year students taking minor PE are the participants in this study. Descriptive statistics such as frequency and percentage were utilized to describe the demographic characteristics of the respondents. At the same time, mean and standard deviation were used to describe students' attitudes towards distance and online education. Also, One-way ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U, and Kruskal Wallis H were utilized to determine the significant difference between groups regarding their perspective in the current educational setting. Based on the results, a statistically significant difference was found between groups concerning family accommodation. On the other hand, no difference was observed between groups of gender, income, gadget, and source of internet connection. In summary, most of the students positively perceived this current setting as beneficial to them. However, there are still challenges that pose threats to this current system. In this regard, the recommendation to address the challenges observed based on study findings and recommendations for future research is a result of this.

Why does a shaman sing? (Prolegomena to the theory of shamanic intonation)
Authors: Сыченко Г.Б.
Published: September 2022

В статье предпринимается попытка формулирования основных предварительных положений теории шаманского интонирования. Данный феномен, вобравший в себя тысячелетний опыт оперирования голосом как инструментом, помогающим, по предположению автора, вхождению в измененные состояния сознания (Ч. Тарт), является неотъемлемым и сущностным элементом традиционного шаманизма. В первом разделе статьи анализируется избранная литература, наиболее близко относящаяся к предмету исследования (Р. Мастроматтеи, Ж. Руже, Ф. Джаннатазио и другие). Затем автор более подробно останавливается на характеристике подхода к типологии интонирования, принятого в новосибирской школе отечественного музыкознания (В.В. Мазепус, Г.Б. Сыченко, Ю.С. Горбачева и другие). Делается вывод о необходимости изучать с этих позиций саму звучащую материю традиционного шаманского пения, что должно позволить обнаружить в ней те черты, которые можно будет достоверно связать с механизмами достижения измененных состояний сознания

The article makes an attempt to formulate the main preliminary assumptions of the theory of shamanic intonation. This phenomenon, which has absorbed thousands of years of experience in operating the voice as a tool that helps, according to the author, to enter into altered states of consciousness (C. Tart), is an integral and essential element of traditional shamanism. The first section of the article analyses selected literature most closely related to the subject of research (R. Mastromattei, G. Rouget, F. Giannattasio, and others). Then the author dwells on the characteristics of the approach to the intonation typology, adopted in the Novosibirsk school of Russian ethnomusicology (V.V. Mazepus, G.B. Sychenko, Yu.S. Gorbacheva, and others). The conclusion is made about the necessity to study from these positions the sounding substance of traditional shamanic singing itself, which should allow to find out those features in it, which can be reliably connected with the mechanisms of attainment of the altered states of consciousness

Предложены различные точки зрения относительно определения истоков эпоса («Гургули», «Гуругли»), исторического времени его формирования. Эпос распространён на территориях, где на протяжении многих веков совместно проживают ираноязычные (включая таджиков) и тюркоязычные народы (узбеки, казахи, азербайджанцы, туркмены). Этот контекст определяет распространенность данной эпической традиции в разных национальных формах и наименованиях. Ключевые слова: эпос «Гургули», истоки самобытности, национальные версии, взаимодействие культур, феномен «метатезы», рожденный в могиле, Авеста

The article examines the issues of the autochthonous nature of the Tajik epic «Gurguli», its originality and differences from other national versions, representing in general the artistic aspects of the interaction of cultures of the peoples of Central Asia and the Caucasus. Various points of view are presented regarding the origins of the definition of the epic («Gurguli» or «Gurugli»), the historical time of its formation. It is noted that the epic is widespread in territories where Iranians (including Tajiks) and Turks (Uzbeks, Kazakhs, Azerbaijanis, Turkmens) have lived together for many centuries. This context reveals the reasons for the prevalence of this epic tradition in different names and forms

Improved Access to Cyclopropanol via Supply-Centered Synthesis
Authors: Snead David , Chen Cheng-yi
Published: September 2022

Access to cyclopropanol is improved by developing a route from highly available, cyclopropyl methyl ketone. The Baeyer-Villiger oxidation inserts oxygen between the cyclopropyl and ketone functionalities, and the alcohol is subsequently unmasked by cleaving the ester with an amine. Optimization resulted in high yield (>90% for each step), isolation of volatile and water soluble cylopropanol, selection of a peroxide with improved safety profile (urea hydrogen peroxide, UHP), and implementation of continuous flow to handle an exotherm. The urea present in the peroxide unexpectedly enhanced conversion of the ketone to the ester, and the addition of a rheology modifier to a 20 wt% suspension of UHP in DCM facilitated continuous delivery of an otherwise difficult to pump slurry.

Authors: Otiura Trisano Solange , Cortez-Vergara Carla , Vega-Dienstmaier Johann M.
Published: September 2022

El estudio tuvo como objetivo adaptar el Cuestionario de Uso Problemático de Internet (PIUQ, por sus siglas en inglés) para su uso en estudiantes universitarios de Lima. Para ello, el instrumento original en inglés (Demetrovics et al., 2008) se tradujo al español y se aplicó a 247 estudiantes de una universidad privada de Lima Metropolitana. Se evaluó la consistencia interna de la escala mediante los coeficientes omega de McDonald y alfa de Cronbach y la estructura propuesta, originalmente de tres dimensiones (obsesión, negligencia y trastorno de control), mediante análisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC). El coeficiente alfa fue de .88 para la escala total, .80 para la subescala de obsesión, .67 para la de negligencia y .82 para la de trastorno de control. Los valores correspondientes del coeficiente omega fueron .89, .80, .68 y .83, respectivamente. El AFC reveló que el modelo con mejores índices de ajuste es el modelo de tres factores, luego de eliminar tres ítems del factor negligencia. Se concluye que la versión en español del cuestionario original PIUQ presenta buena consistencia interna para la escala total, la subescala de obsesión y la de trastorno de control; sin embargo, la subescala de negligencia debe ser revisada.
Creencias de estudiantes universitarios sobre responsabilidad: implicaciones para la intervención social
Authors: García Hernández Fernando , Quevedo-Aguado María Paz
Published: September 2022

Se investiga cómo las creencias de futuros profesionales del ámbito sociosanitario acerca de los prototipos de persona responsable y persona irresponsable pueden impactar en sus actitudes y conductas respecto a la inclusión social de sujetos vulnerables. Para la investigación, 520 estudiantes universitarios citaron espontáneamente cuatro adjetivos descriptores de los prototipos y luego los ordenaron según su adecuación a cada prototipo. Como resultado se obtuvo que la persona responsable se describe en relación con los términos constante, aplicado, cuidadoso, centrado y trabajador. La persona irresponsable se describe destacando los términos vago, imprudente e inconstante. Los prototipos tienden a describirse según diadas de términos antagónicos: constante-inconstante, cuidadoso-descuidado, organizado-desorganizado, maduro-inmaduro, puntual-impuntual, prudente-imprudente y consciente-inconsciente. Se concluye que la perseverancia, la libertad individual y el desempeño aparecen como tres criterios de inclusión-exclusión relacionados con las creencias sobre la responsabilidad y la irresponsabilidad. Se sugiere que estas creencias son congruentes con actitudes profesionales que busquen más la integración sociolaboral que la inclusión social y el desarrollo personal desde la diversidad.

Published: September 2022

El objetivo de la presente investigación consistió en comparar los síntomas internalizadores (ansiedad y depresión) y externalizadores (hiperactividad) de niños caraqueños en función del nivel de inseguridad alimentaria reportado por sus padres. Se planteó un diseño retrospectivo simple con una muestra conformada por 200 niños, con edades comprendidas entre los ocho y los doce años, y sus representantes, encargados de reportar los niveles de inseguridad alimentaria en el hogar y los síntomas de hiperactividad percibidos en sus hijos. Para el análisis se utilizó la técnica no paramétrica U de Mann-Whitney para comparar los síntomas ansiosos, depresivos e hiperactivos en función de altos y bajos niveles de inseguridad alimentaria. Los resultados sugieren condiciones moderadas de inseguridad alimentaria en los hogares. Además, en cuanto al conjunto de síntomas internalizadores, se halló que los hogares con mayor inseguridad alimentaria tienden a presentar niños con mayores manifestaciones de nerviosismo (U = 865.50, p < .001, r = .36), síntomas fisiológicos (U = 1123.00, p = .02, r = .22) y reacciones cognitivas e interpersonales de la depresión (U = 1080, p = .01, r = .25). Resultados similares fueron obtenidos para los síntomas externalizadores de hiperactividad (U = 961.50, p = .001, r = .31). Se discuten las implicaciones psicológicas de las diferencias encontradas.

Se ha demostrado cada vez más que las organizaciones que prestan atención a la igualdad de género superan a sus pares y competidores que no lo hacen. Las mujeres ya están subrepresentadas en las profesiones STEM, y hoy estamos perdiendo mujeres en la fuerza laboral a un ritmo alarmante en un contexto de desigualdad que persiste y se ha visto agravada por la pandemia mundial. Estamos perdiendo mujeres en profesiones e industrias que ya sufren de una falta del talento STEM calificado que solo se necesita para satisfacer las demandas de la fuerza laboral en todo el mundo. Mientras que en otras industrias STEM, las mujeres están representadas principalmente en puestos con salarios más bajos con oportunidades limitadas o nulas de avance y liderazgo. Entonces, las realidades que enfrentamos hoy en la fuerza laboral de STEM que se centran en la igualdad de género se elevan al nivel de un imperativo empresarial, así como una causa de justicia social. Esta sesión analiza algunos de los problemas y oportunidades actuales y reales basados ​​en el género que enfrentan las mujeres y las organizaciones para las que trabajan. La sesión también se centrará en posibles medidas y soluciones para apoyar positivamente la igualdad de género en el clima actual.

The BTB domain is an oligomerization domain found in over 300 proteins encoded in the human genome. In the family of BTB domain and zinc finger–containing (ZBTB) transcription factors, 49 members share the same protein architecture. The N-terminal BTB domain is structurally conserved among the family members and serves as the dimerization site, whereas the C-terminal zinc finger motifs mediate DNA binding. The available BTB domain structures from this family reveal a natural inclination for homodimerization. In this study, we investigated the potential for heterodimer formation in the cellular environment. We selected five BTB homodimers and four heterodimer structures. We performed cell-based binding assays with fluorescent protein–BTB domain fusions to assess dimer formation. We tested the binding of several BTB pairs, and we were able to confirm the heterodimeric physical interaction between the BTB domains of PATZ1 and PATZ2, previously reported only in an interactome mapping experiment. We also found this pair to be co-expressed in several immune system cell types. Finally, we used the available structures of BTB domain dimers and newly constructed models in extended molecular dynamics simulations (500 ns) to understand the energetic determinants of homo- and heterodimer formation. We conclude that heterodimer formation, although frequently described as less preferred than homodimers, is a possible mechanism to increase the combinatorial specificity of this transcription factor family.

Este trabalho aborda a resolução de conflitos interinstitucionais nas relações entre usuários e plataformas digitais. Como problemática: são suficientes legislações sobre proteção de dados pessoais e imposição de multas para a resolução de conflitos interinstitucionais nas relações entre usuários e plataformas digitais a partir de casos como o da Cambridge Analytica e Facebook? O método adotado é hipotético-dedutivo, através de revisão bibliográfica e abordagem qualitativa. O trabalho conclui pela insuficiência das medidas adotadas pelo governo americano para a resolução dos conflitos apresentados e pela necessidade de aprofundamento dos debates para além da proteção de dados pessoais.
The House and the Hill
Authors:   , Dharmawardane Shanuki
Published: September 2022

The words ‘an unimaginable remoteness’ capture New Zealand’s landscape (Walker, 2012). This still rings true in pockets of Wellington’s outer suburbs. However, to keep up with the city’s growing population the undulating hills that characterise the city, are rapidly being flattened for housing. This requires intensive earthworks, causing tremendous environmental and ecological implications. For the occupants, the flattened land these houses are constructed upon, limit their private outdoor space and connection to nature. These houses also increase the city’s energy demand, as they are predominantly built to minimum code requirements.

In response, The House and the Hill delves into the possibility of taking advantage of the opportunity the hillside offers. This research aims to reduce the environmental impact of intensive earthworks for flattening land, capitalise on the benefit the hill provides for more energy efficient housing,and return to working with the site to articulate a relationship between the house and nature.

This body of work lies between the speculative and the practical. The tension between these opposing forces are extensively explored throughout the design research process. A theory- based background research phase established the qualitative and quantitative objectives of this research. This includes working with the land for the sensitive development of compact suburban housing and exceeding the minimum requirements of the New Zealand Building Code (NZBC) clause H1 for energy efficiency. Inspired by Glenn Murcutt, the design process is highly iterative with a critical emphasis on working with the land. The final result is then designed in detail, and tested against the energy efficiency standards of the NZBC.
The Impact of Minor Intimate Partner Aggression on Child Conduct
Authors:   , Clavijo Saldias Karina
Published: September 2022

Research on the impact of intimate partner aggression (IPA) and child outcomes has primarily focused on the impact of severe forms of IPA and has tended to neglect the impact of minor forms of IPA on child behaviour. In addition, little is known about the impact that male IPA victimisation has on child outcomes. Thus, the current study aims to better understand the impact of minor IPA, risks and protective factors associated with it, while taking into consideration both mother-reported and partner-reported IPA. Using longitudinal, secondary data from the Growing Up in New Zealand study we used structural equation modelling to test our hypothesised models. Our study included n= 3801 children, their mothers, and the mothers’ partners. Results showed that minor IPA has an effect on child conduct problems and that maternal depression explains part of this relationship. Furthermore, we found that maternal warmth was a risk factor for increased conduct problems, but this was likely a factor of incongruent mother-child perceptions of maternal warmth. Additionally, we found that harsh discipline and child prosocial skills did not have a moderating effect, suggesting other factors may be of more importance in explaining the relationship between minor IPA and child conduct problems. Lastly, we found that for the most part, the impact of minor IPA on child conduct problems was the same across boys and girls. These findings mark the importance of early life experiences in children’s development by showing that even exposure to minor forms of IPA at an early developmental stage can have negative behavioural consequences later in development. These findings open new avenues for future research that will help inform potential interventions to minimise risks and promote resilience in children affected by all forms of IPA.

Background: For decades, WHO has been providing targeted funding for health research on priority areas of public health in the Eastern Mediterranean Region through different grant schemes. Aims: This paper investigated the impact of WHO/EMRO’s funding schemes and factors facilitating or hindering such impact. Methods: We assessed the impact of health research funded by WHO/EMRO during 2010–2018 from the health, economic, decision-making, and knowledge translation perspectives, emphasizing accountability and analysis, using the Payback framework, mixed-method approach (quantitative, qualitative), and triangulation. Results: Principal investigators of 45 (45.9%) out of the 98 funded projects responded to the questionnaire. Almost all (88.0%) the 45 projects reported developing at least one decision-making document. Less than half reported producing peer-reviewed documents and conducting target group empowerment, while 24.0% said they secured research funds from other organizations. For 23 projects (51.0%), research results could have had a direct impact on health and on economy, and 25 (56.0%) projects conducted at least one active knowledge translation activity. Using multiple logistic regression, there was no significant association between the country of research and impact on decision-making and implementation of result if health or economic impact was expected. Conclusion: To strengthen the impact of research, WHO/EMRO should embark on a series of interventions to guide and empower countries in the use of research results. Discrepancies between health research systems in the Eastern Mediterranean Region and differences in individual and organizational capacities in the different countries require targeted interventions.
Direct Fuzzy Evaluation of Financial Risk “Chains” of an Organisation

Published: September 2022

The object of the research is the diagnosis and evaluation of financial risks in order to create an effective risk management policy. The subject of the research is the methodology of direct fuzzy evaluation of financial risk “chains” of an organisation. The relevance of the problem is due, on the one hand, to the dynamic and chaotic macro-environment and the business environment of organisations, on the other hand, to the drawback of the analytical and expert methods used to assess financial risks. The former, moreover, imply statistical data processing and operate with quantitative measures. For the latter, the difficulty is the impossibility of their application in a short time interval. From the perspective of operational risk management, financial risks deserve special attention since the effective operation of the entire organisation depends on them. The purpose of the research is to form a methodology for direct fuzzy evaluation of financial risk “chains” of an organisation. The authors apply the methods of mathematical forecasting, fuzzy modelling, calculation of financial and economic indicators, and expert risk assessment. The proposed methodology consists of 12 stages, beginning with the analysis of business processes and the identification of financial risks of the organisation. The main stage is the construction of a fuzzy evaluation model and the calculation of indicators: the probability of occurrence and realization of risks and risky situations of the financial risk “chains”, and the degree of confidence of the calculations conducted. The final stage of the methodology is an analysis of the results obtained to adjust the selected development strategy of the organisation, and the choice of methods for managing identified financial risks bearing the most significant financial and economic losses. The authors conclude the developed methodology allows to accurately assess the threat of a certain risk “chain” and losses from the implementation of specific risk situations for any organisation in the conditions of dynamic changes in internal and external elements of the business environment. The advantage of the methodology should be considered in the comparability of the accuracy of the evaluation and the low cost of modelling.
A Novel Weighted Hybrid Recommendation System using Sharpe Ratio for a Profitable Diversified Investment Portfolio
Authors: Saini J. R. , Vaz C.
Published: September 2022

Identifying where to invest and how much to invest can be very challenging for common people who have limited knowledge in the domain. Portfolio managers are financial professionals who spend a lot of time and effort to help investors in investing funds and implementing investment strategies, but not all can afford to consult them. The study aims to develop a weighted hybrid recommendation system that recommends an optimized investment portfolio based on the investor’s preferences regarding risk and return. Generally, investors usually ask investment for advice from friends or relatives with similar risk preferences or if they are interested in a particular item, the investors ask for the experience of someone who already has invested in the same item. Therefore, the methodology considers the investor’s past behavior and the past behavior of the nearest neighbor investors with similar risk preferences. Using user-based collaborative filtering the number of stocks is recommended using Pearson correlation based on the investor’s income, then using another user-based collaborative filtering the number of stocks is recommended based on the investor’s age. Weights are assigned to the recommended number of stocks generated based on income and age and their weighted average is finally considered. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed system was assessed through various experiments. Based on the received results, the authors conclude that the proposed weighted hybrid approach is robust enough for implementation in the real world. The novelty of the paper lies in the fact that none of the existing approaches make use of more than one type of weighted recommendation algorithm. Additionally, the final results obtained this way have been never further fortified with the highest Sharpe ratio and minimum risk for the investor. This combination of hybrid and Sharpe ratios has never been explored before.
