Abstract. It is a common practice in the developing countries and in some regions of Europe that solid wastes generated in the households (e.g. plastic beverage packaging and other plastic wastes, textile wastes, fibreboards, furniture, tyres, and coloured paper waste) are burned in wood- or coal-fired stoves during the winter months. In Europe, the types and volume of municipal waste burned in households is virtually unknown because these activities are illegal and not recorded, with the exception of a few media reports or court cases. Even though particulate emissions from illegal waste burning pose an unprecedented hazard to human health due to the combination of excessive emission factors (EFs) and uncontrolled chemical composition, there is scarce information on the specific emission factors for PM10 and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the scientific literature. In this work, controlled combustion tests were performed with 12 different types of municipal solid waste and particulate emissions were measured and collected for chemical analysis. Absolute emission factors for PM10 and PAHs as well as the benzo(a)pyrene toxicity equivalent of the latter are reported for the first time for the indoor combustion of 12 common types of municipal solid waste that are frequently burned in households worldwide.
Monitoring Sudden Stratospheric Warmings using radio occultation: a new approach demonstrated based on the 2009 event
Authors: Li Ying , Kirchengast Gottfried , Schwärz Marc , Ladstädter Florian , Yuan Yunbin
Published: July 2020

Abstract. We introduce a new method to detect and monitor Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) events using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Radio Occultation (RO) data at high northern latitudes and demonstrate it for the well-known Jan–Feb 2009 event. We first construct RO temperature, density, and bending angle anomaly profiles and estimate vertical-mean anomalies in selected altitude layers. These mean anomalies are then averaged into a daily-updated 5° latitude × 20° longitude grid over 50° N–90° N. Based on the gridded mean anomalies, we employ the concept of Threshold Exceedance Areas (TEAs), the geographic areas wherein the anomalies exceed predefined threshold values such as 40 K or 40 %. We estimate five basic TEAs for selected altitude layers and thresholds and use them to derive primary-, secondary-, and trailing-phase TEA metrics to detect SSWs and to monitor in particular their main-phase (primary- plus secondary-phase) evolution on a daily basis. As an initial setting, the main-phase requires daily TEAs to exceed 3 Mio. km2, based on which main-phase duration, area, and overall event strength are recorded. Using the Jan–Feb 2009 SSW event for demonstration, and employing RO data plus cross-evaluation data from analysis fields of the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), we find the new approach of strong potential for detecting and monitoring SSW events. The TEA metrics show a strong SSW emerging on Jan 17, reaching a maximum on Jan 23, and the strong primary-phase temperature anomaly fading by Jan 27. On Jan 22–23 a MSTA-TEA40 value (TEA of middle stratosphere temperature anomaly > 40 K) of about 9 Mio. km2 was reached. The geographic tracking of the SSW showed that it was centered over East Greenland, covering Greenland entirely and extending from Western Norway to Eastern Canada. The secondary- and trailing-phase metrics track the further SSW development, where the thermodynamic anomaly propagated downward and was fading with a transient upper stratospheric cooling, spanning until end February and beyond. Given the encouraging demonstration results, we expect the method very suitable for long-term monitoring of how SSW characteristics evolve under climate change and variability using both RO and reanalysis data.

Abstract. Global fire-vegetation models are widely used to assess
impacts of environmental change on fire regimes and the carbon cycle and to
infer relationships between climate, land use and fire. However,
differences in model structure and parameterizations, in both the vegetation
and fire components of these models, could influence overall model
performance, and to date there has been limited evaluation of how well
different models represent various aspects of fire regimes. The Fire Model
Intercomparison Project (FireMIP) is coordinating the evaluation of
state-of-the-art global fire models, in order to improve projections of fire
characteristics and fire impacts on ecosystems and human societies in the
context of global environmental change. Here we perform a systematic
evaluation of historical simulations made by nine FireMIP models to quantify
their ability to reproduce a range of fire and vegetation benchmarks. The
FireMIP models simulate a wide range in global annual total burnt area
(39–536 Mha) and global annual fire carbon emission (0.91–4.75 Pg C yr−1) for modern conditions (2002–2012), but most of the range in burnt
area is within observational uncertainty (345–468 Mha). Benchmarking scores
indicate that seven out of nine FireMIP models are able to represent the
spatial pattern in burnt area. The models also reproduce the seasonality in
burnt area reasonably well but struggle to simulate fire season length and
are largely unable to represent interannual variations in burnt area.
However, models that represent cropland fires see improved simulation of
fire seasonality in the Northern Hemisphere. The three FireMIP models which
explicitly simulate individual fires are able to reproduce the spatial
pattern in number of fires, but fire sizes are too small in key regions, and
this results in an underestimation of burnt area. The correct representation
of spatial and seasonal patterns in vegetation appears to correlate with a
better representation of burnt area. The two older fire models included in
the FireMIP ensemble (LPJ–GUESS–GlobFIRM, MC2) clearly perform less well
globally than other models, but it is difficult to distinguish between the
remaining ensemble members; some of these models are better at representing
certain aspects of the fire regime; none clearly outperforms all other
models across the full range of variables assessed.
Exploring hydrologic post-processing of ensemble stream flow forecasts based on Affine kernel dressing and Nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II
Authors: Xu Jing , Anctil François , Boucher Marie-Amélie
Published: July 2020

Abstract. Forecast uncertainties are unfortunately inevitable when conducting the deterministic analysis of a dynamical system. The cascade of uncertainty originates from different components of the forecasting chain, such as the chaotic nature of the atmosphere, various initial conditions and boundaries, inappropriate conceptual hydrologic modeling, and the inconsistent stationarity assumption in a changing environment. Ensemble forecasting proves to be a powerful tool to represent error growth in the dynamical 5 system and to capture the uncertainties associated with different sources. However, space still exists for improving their predictive skill and credibility through proper hydrologic post-processing. We tested the post-processing skills of Affine kernel dressing (AKD) and Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II). Those two methods are theoretically/technically distinct, yet however, share the same feature that both of them relax the parametric assumption of the underlying distribution of the data (i.e., streamflow ensemble forecast). AKD transformed ensemble and the Pareto fronts 10 generated with NSGA-II demonstrated the superiority of post-processed ensemble in efficiently eliminating forecast biases and maintaining a proper dispersion with the increasing forecasting horizon.
Clinical use of linezolid in periprosthetic joint infections – a systematic review
Authors: Theil Christoph , Schmidt-Braekling Tom , Gosheger Georg , Schwarze Jan , Dieckmann Ralf , Schneider Kristian Nikolaus , Möllenbeck Burkhard
Published: July 2020

Abstract. Introduction: The most common causative organism in periprosthetic joint
infections (PJIs) is Gram-positive bacteria that are increasingly drug
resistant. In these cases the use of linezolid may be warranted. However,
there are conflicting reports regarding its role in antibiotic treatment of
PJIs. The aim of this review is to gather and analyze clinical results and
treatment details on linezolid in patients with PJIs.
Methods: In August 2019, a comprehensive literature search using MEDLINE
(Pubmed and Ovid) and Cochrane Library was performed. A total of 504 records
were screened, and a total of 16 studies including 372 patients treated with
linezolid for a PJI were included in this review based on the PRISMA
criteria and after quality analysis using the MINOR score and Newcastle–Ottawa
scale, as well as assessing level of evidence. Pooling analysis as well as
descriptive analysis was performed.
Results: Based on the results from the studies included, infection control
was achieved in 80 % (range 30 %–100 %) of patients after a mean follow-up
period of 25 (range 2–66) months. The mean duration of treatment was 58 d
intravenous and orally at a median dose of 600 mg bis in die (b.i.d.)
(range 400–900 b.i.d.). A combination therapy with rifampicin was used in
53 % of patients. MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) infections were present in
29 % and resistant CoNS (coagulase-negative Staphylococcus) in 46 %. Adverse effects
occurred in 33 % of cases, mostly anemia, thrombocytopenia and
gastrointestinal complaints leading to treatment discontinuation in 9 %.
However, great heterogeneity was found with respect to surgical treatment,
diagnosis of infection and indication for linezolid.
Discussion: Linezolid is an appropriate option for treatment of resistant
Gram-positive organisms in PJIs. Most commonly 600 mg b.i.d. is used, and a
combination with rifampicin appears feasible although one must consider
individual increases in doses in these cases. However, adverse effects are
common and there are limited data for long-term use and optimal antibiotic
combinations or individual doses.
Implications of Zoom and Similar Apps on ‘Flip-class’ Outcome in the New Normal
Authors: Buheji Mohamed , Ahmed Dunya
Published: July 2020

The development of the New Normal in Post-COVID-19 has its implication on education. During just the first few months of the pandemic, many classes turned to be on Zoom, Google Class, etc. and many Universities activated their Blackboard or similar platforms. The classical education system has resisted this system change for many years, as they resisted more change in the mindset of how the classes should be delivered and managed.This paper explores how the ‘flip-class’ and ‘disruptive learning’ can be part of the coming transformation towards preparing students more for the new normal required competency and enhance their life-purposefulness. The multidisciplinary, international researchers propose a hybrid model of Flip-class and Educational Social Network (ESN) could change the outcome of the courses intended learning to the better and prepare students for the unstable labour market.
Pluralismo e a criação de novos direitos através da democracia agonística de William E. Connolly
Authors: Monteiro Crespo de Almeida Leonardo
Published: July 2020

O presente artigo propõe-se a desenvolver uma relação entre pluralismo, democracia e a criação de novos direitos a partir da teoria política desenvolvida por William E. Connolly. Adotando como ponto de partida a noção de democracia agonística presente na obra desse teórico, o artigo busca investigar a maneiracomo os embates entre os diferentes grupos sociais podem vir a concorrer para a formação de novos direitos que, para além de assegurar a pretensão desses grupos, também resguardam o espaço de tensão e do conflito adversarial. Essa relação adversarial, por sua vez, permite a contestação e a crítica a padrõesnormativos e referenciais axiológicos estabelecidos, proporcionando a reconfiguração do social e a entrada de novos atores políticos na arena política da democracia agonística.

Juventude, escola pública e grupos de jovens carismáticos: as reformas educacionais da gestão federal (2016-2018) e a socialização juvenil em Londrina PR
Authors: Lanza Fabio , Boschini Douglas Alexandre
Published: July 2020

O presente artigo reflete acerca dos espaços socializadores ocupados pelos jovens, em especial as escolas públicas e os grupos de jovens do movimento da Renovação Carismática Católica. Tendo em vista o papel fundamental da escola, tanto no processo de transmissão e reprodução da estrutura social vigente, faz-se mais que necessárias a atenção e a compreensão das reformas promovidas pelo atual governo (2016-2018) na Política Pública de Educação, bem como, as ações desenvolvidas pelas organizações religiosas enquanto instituições com grande poder educacional junto ao respectivo público. Ainda, o trabalho foi embasado em pesquisas bibliográfica, eletrônica e documental, além de observações de campo realizada em encontros de grupos de oração da RCC. Concluiu-se que a educação pública sendo sucateada pela gestão federal atual, acrescido pelo descrédito e o desrespeito generalizados à ciência e aos educadores, favorecendo aos grupos de jovens religiosos da RCC, oferecem não somente o pertencimento, identificação e o acolhimento, que deveria também ocorrer na escola pública, mas uma série de conteúdos, sob o prisma religioso individualista-conservador, que explicam a realidade e suas relações com a sociedade brasileira.

Economia política sob uma análise feminista-materialista: a imbricação das relações sociais de sexo, raça e classe
Authors: Cisne Mirla , Falquet Jules
Published: July 2020

Neste artigo, tem-se como objetivo, destacar algumas contribuições significativas do feminismo materialista para análise crítica da economia política do capital. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica, por meio da qual foi dialogado com o trabalho das feministas negras, de feministas marxistas heterodoxas e de algumas feministas e lésbicas descoloniais. Na era da mundialização neoliberal, o “trabalho desvalorizado” e “considerado feminino”, gerados por corpos feminizados e/ou racializados, são marcados pela intensificação da jornada de trabalho, pela precarização e pelo trabalho gratuito. As relações de sexagem permitem que o trabalho, o corpo e o tempo das mulheres sejam apropriados gratuitamente. Já os corpos masculinos e/ou racializados são atribuídos à guerra e à segurança. Esses "homens armados" geram violência diária que mantém as "mulheres de serviço" em uma situação de precariedade e permanente excesso de trabalho. Ao mesmo tempo, garantem uma direta utilidade/reforço à economia do capital, para reconstruir o que constantemente destroem. Apenas considerando a imbricação dinâmica e dialética das relações sociais de sexo, raça e classe, em toda a sua complexidade, é que se pode pensar formas de abolir simultaneamente as desigualdades, opressões, apropriações e explorações que estruturam as desigualdades sociais.

Authors: Mello Alexssander De Souza , Vigário Patrícia Dos Santos , Freitas Jeter Pereira de , Lemos Thiago , Mainenti Míriam Raquel Meira
Published: July 2020

Introdução: o Rugby em Cadeira de Rodas (RCR) é uma modalidade com grande demanda energética. Objetivo: comparar a recuperação cardiopulmonar de atletas de RCR de elite internacional (EI, n=16) e nacional (EN, n=06), além de investigar a correlação entre a recuperação e a classificação funcional (CF) dos atletas.Métodos: o teste de esforço cardiopulmonar foi realizado em cicloergômetro para membros superiores, com análise dos gases expirados. Consumo de oxigênio (VO2) e ventilação pulmonar (VE) foram avaliados no pico do esforço e na recuperação (primeiro, segundo e terceiro minutos). Resultados: EI apresentou uma maior recuperação do VO2 e da VE. Correlações fortes e muito fortes foram encontradas entre CF e recuperação percentual de VO2 para EN, enquanto que, no EI, as correlações foram fracas e regulares.Conclusão: Atletas com maior volume de prática do RCR (EI) têm maior capacidade de recuperação cardiopulmonar. Sugere-se que o tempo de treinamento pode minimizar a influência da CF na capacidade de recuperação do atleta.

Secador de Sementes para o Pequeno Agricultor: Uma Proposta com Estimação Dinâmica das Variáveis de Secagem
Authors: Avila Tarso , Machado Nicácia , Yamin Adenauer , Rossi Marcelo
Published: July 2020

A produção de sementes em pequena escala é prática comum por pequenos produtores que resistem à imposição comercial para produção de alimentos com variabilidade genética estreita, considerada ameaça para agrobiodiversidade do planeta. Nesse contexto, existem os chamados guardiões de sementes, que adotam práticas de origem camponesa para a produção de alimentos de grande variabilidade genética. Segundo estudos na área de tecnologia de produção de sementes, a secagem antes do armazenamento é considerada uma das etapas primordiais. Contudo, existem regiões nas quais as condições meteorológicas não são favoráveis para secagem das sementes, bem como é usual faltar tecnologias neste sentido para o pequeno produtor. Portanto, verificando essa necessidade, o objetivo geral deste trabalho é a concepção de um equipamento para a eficaz secagem artificial de pequenos lotes de sementes, levando em consideração a cultura da semente envolvida e as condições meteorológicas locais. Os resultados atingidos se mostraram promissores, apontando para a continuidade da pesquisa.

Este artigo apresenta o resultado dos testes de sensores e de módulos de comunicação comerciais efetuados como parte do desenvolvimento de um protótipo de sistema de Internet das Coisas (IoT) de baixo custo para a detecção precoce de incêndios florestais. O sistema é composto por três partes: (1) nós sensores, que medem a temperatura, a umidade e a concentração de gases inflamáveis do ambiente; (2) um gateway, que recebe os dados lidos pelos nós e os envia para a Internet; e (3) um sistema Web para mostrar as medições dos sensores. Os testes dos sensores indicaram que estes captam apenas informações do ambiente próximo, dificultando o monitoramento de áreas extensas. Os testes dos módulos de comunicação em um ambiente de vegetação de cerrado mostraram transmissões de dados a distâncias de aproximadamente 200 metros para o padrão Wi-Fi e 500 metros para o LoRa, confirmando que este possui um maior alcance do que o Wi-Fi, porém não alcança a distância de alguns quilômetros, esperada segundo as especificações do padrão.

Authors: Ji Hongchao , Dong Jianwei , Pei Weichi , Long Haiyang , Chu Jing
Published: July 2020

The computational model of spur gear meshing stiffness is established by using the hypothesis of cantilever beam of the gear. The meshing stiffness of spur gear is calculated by analytical method, and the distributional curve of meshing stiffness is obtained by comparison with FEM. Experimental verification of simulated results is performed by mechanical test-bed of closed flow. The experimental results show that the simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results. Based on the FEM models of gear tooth with cracks of different lengths, the comparison between degradation trends in different meshing regions that shows that the degree of degradation in a single tooth meshing area is much higher than in a double teeth meshing region. In the FEM models of gear tooth with cracks of different lengths, the stiffness degradation rate of the double tooth indentation area increases first and then decreases, and the crack length is most obvious between 4 and 8 mm.

Der Stimmrechtsberater in der Unternehmensverfassung der deutschen Aktiengesellschaft
Authors: Hauber Steffen
Published: July 2020

Stimmrechtsberater nehmen in der gelebten Corporate Governance börsennotierter Aktiengesellschaften mit ihren Vorschlägen an die Aktionäre, wie diese ihre Stimmrechte auf der Hauptversammlung ausüben sollen, eine zunehmend bedeutende Rolle ein. Bislang normativ nicht erfasst, ist nunmehr durch die zweite EU-Aktionärsrechterichtlinie vom Mai 2017 die erstmalige Regulierung der Stimmrechtsberater erfolgt. Die Umsetzung der statuierten Transparenzpflichten hat das ARUG II in den §§ 134a, 134d AktG verortet. Die Arbeit befasst sich zum einen mit der Umsetzungsgesetzgebung durch das ARUG II und legt dabei den Fokus auf die vielfältige Kritik am Wirken der Stimmrechtsberater. Weiterhin wird ganz grundsätzlich der Frage nachgegangen, ob und wie sich der Einfluss der Stimmrechtsberater, die aus dem monistischen System kommen, in das dualistische System der deutschen Aktiengesellschaft mit seinem eigenständigen Überwachungsorgan Aufsichtsrat einpassen lässt.
Der Einfluss eines Betrieblichen Gesundheitsmanagements auf die Unternehmensperformance
Authors: Maurer Timo
Published: July 2020

This book reveals how occupational health management can influence corporate performance. There are numerous studies on the relationship between occupational health management and performance measures, with some contradictory results. For this reason, the author conducted meta-analysis to summarise and analyse those existing results, which enabled him to determine the ‘true effects’ of occupational health management and derive recommendations from them. The book thus provides managing directors or sustainability managers with a possible basis for the legitimacy of investments in occupational health management and in approaches to organising it, so that health and economic effects are generated. Furthermore, this book will appeal to academics from the fields of health and sustainability management as well as strategic management as it provides them with insights into the current state of research in this respect.

Examens préliminaires à la Cour pénale internationale : fondements juridiques, pratique du Bureau de la Procureure et développements judiciaires
Authors: Amoulgam Azé Kerté
Published: July 2020

Les examens préliminaires occupent une place importante dans la procédure pénale de la Cour pénale internationale, car ils permettent de déterminer les situations qui feront l’objet d’enquête et de poursuites. Ils sont menés en toute discrétion par le Bureau de la Procureure. La Procureure peut engager des examens préliminaires de sa propre initiative ou à partir d’un renvoi d’un État partie ou du Conseil de sécurité de l’Organisation des Nations unies. Ces examens préliminaires portent sur une situation et débouchent, après le test de compétence, de recevabilité et des intérêts de la justice, sur une décision de la Procureure sur l’opportunité d’ouvrir ou non une enquête. Selon le mode de saisine et la nature de sa décision, la Procureure sera contrainte ou non de demander l’autorisation de la Chambre préliminaire avant de procéder à l’enquête. La Chambre préliminaire exerce deux types de contrôle sur la décision de la Procureure : un contrôle absolu lorsque la Procureure décide de passer à l’étape d’enquête de sa propre initiative ou lorsqu’elle refuse d’enquêter car il en est dans l’intérêt de la justice, et un contrôle souple lorsque la Procureure décide de ne pas enquêter après un renvoi. Le Bureau de la Procureure fait face à des choix difficiles et à des critiques dans sa manière de conduire les examens préliminaires, en lien notamment avec leur durée, leur publicisation, leur rôle, leur contrôle et leur traitement.

Published: July 2020

From the Lower Aptian of the Betic Cordillera a small hermatypic coral fauna is reported. The sampled outcrop is located in the Sierra de la Muela (Prebetic, South Spain). The studied corals come from a carbonate platform megasequence, deposited in the Southern Iberian Palaeomargin during the Early-Late Aptian transition. The coral fauna consists of 19 species in 13 genera belonging to the suborders Archeocaeniina, Faviina, Fungiina, Meandrinina, Microsolenina, and Stylinina. The coral fauna consists of typical and common species. It shows relationship of mainly Barremian to Early Albian faunas from the Western Tethys

Published: July 2020

A rich rugose coral assemblage has been recorded from a biostrome at the top of the Djebel Ouarkziz Fm. in the Tindouf Basin, S. Morocco. It is composed of 10 genera and 14 species, of which 5 are new: Dibunophyllum bipartitum, Arachnolasma sp., Palaeosmilia murchisoni, Palaeosmilia ressoti, Palastraea regia, Siphonodendron tindoufense sp. nov., Siphonodendron ouarkzizense sp. nov., Diphyphyllum maximum, Axophyllum moroccoense sp. nov., Gangamophyllum sp., Axoclisia sahariense sp. nov., Axoclisia cf. coronata, Actinocyathus sarytschevae and Actinocyathus mariae sp. nov. It represents essentially a Mississippian-type coral fauna but with some evolved species. However, its age, as determined by foraminifers, is early Bashkirian (Early Pennsylvanian). The presence of Mississippian-like corals in the Bashkirian indicates that the epicontinental basins in northern Gondwana (Saharan basins) were a refuge for coral faunas during the late Serpukhovian extinction event. The persistence of the Mississippian assemblages in the Bashkirian from northern Gondwana was probably due to a combination of warm waters and tectonic stability. The coral assemblage from the Tindouf biostrome is similar to those corals recorded from Ellesmere Island, Arctic Canada and Novaya Zemlya, Arctic Russia where similar tropical warm water conditions have been identified during the Bashkirian in the northern hemisphere

Objective: To analyze the nursing care provided to premature infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Methods: Descriptive study with a qualitative approach, such as literature review. The selection of articles took place from August to October 2018. The searches resulted in the visualization of 75 articles. Of which only 12 articles met the established criteria and descriptors.

Results: The main nursing care provided to premature infants in the NICU are: Observation of the premature infant, in the first 24 hours of life; hydration; food; skin; infection; umbilical stump, among others.

Conclusion: When the NB is hospitalized, due to the mother's absence associated with excessive manipulation by the health team, it can trigger stress, impairing her clinical condition. More than technical care is needed, especially by nurses, who are the professionals who most provide care to the newborn in the NICU.

Published: July 2020

Aim: The aim of this study was to isolate Rhizobacillus from tomato rhizosphere and its screening for the production of hydrolytic enzymes to be used as a biocontrol agent.

Place of Study: The study was carried out in the Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Science, Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti, Nigeria in August 2018.

Methodology: Isolation was of Rhizobacillus carried out from rhizospheric soil of tomato plant at agro-zone along Afao road Ado Ekiti using pour plate method. Enzyme assay was carried out on the bacterial isolates, to examine their ability to produce hydrolytic enzyme required for biocontrol of phytopathogenic fungi. Isolates were tentatively identified with the help of Bergy’s Manual of Systemic Bacteriology.

Results: Ten strains were tentatively identified as B. brevis, B. circulans BC1, B. macquariensis  BM1, B. macquariensis BM2, B. macerans, B. macquarensis BM3, B. alcalophilus B. macerans  BC11, B. circulans  BC3 and B. macerans BC9. All the Isolates demonstrated the ability to produce hydrolytic enzymes with the highest activity recorded in Bacillus macquariensis BM2 (60.28 µmol) for chitinase, Bacillus macerans BC9 (11.14 µmol) for Protease, Bacillus macquariensis BM2 (150.00 µmol) for Glucanase, and Bacillus circulans BC1 (46.45 µmol) for cellulase respectively. In conclusion the Bacillus strains isolated from rhizosphere are promising and could be used in bioprocessing technology to produce hydrolytic enzymes for the purpose of biocontrol in management of phytopathogenic fungi.

Authors: Chen Suduan , Shen Zong-De
Published: July 2020

The purpose of this study is to establish an effective financial distress prediction model by applying hybrid machine learning techniques. The sample set is 262 financially distressed companies and 786 non-financially distressed companies, listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange between 2012 and 2018. This study deploys multiple machine learning techniques. The first step is to screen out important variables with stepwise regression (SR) and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), followed by the construction of prediction models, as based on classification and regression trees (CART) and random forests (RF). Both financial variables and non-financial variables are incorporated. This study finds that the financial distress prediction model built with CART and variables screened by LASSO has the highest accuracy of 89.74%.
