Pandemic performance: A Haunting of Haunts
Authors: Garrett Lynch IRL
Published: October 2022

During the COVID-19 pandemic that started in 2020, galleries, theatres, and performance venues closed in accordance with social distancing, lockdown, and confinement policies. Art practice, and in particular performance art, faced an existential crisis: adapt its form or cease to exist for audiences. To adapt, performance art adopted video on the internet as a means through which to perform posing immense challenges to its understanding of performance, liveness, and what is considered physical or ‘real’. As a response, I started to create a body of work employing the methodology of practice as research (PaR) during periods of confinement of the pandemic.

Titled A Haunting of Haunts (2020–ongoing), the practice is designed to be situated within networks and is therefore classified as networked performance. The practice aims to enable artists to create performance under conditions of social distancing, lockdown, and confinement, to explore the idea of transposing performance from ‘real’ spaces to ‘virtual’ spaces, and to critique video as the dominant and largely accepted visual form employed in networked performance. This exposition proposes that while A Haunting of Haunts facilitates practice and assists in the development of a visual language specific to networks that consists of what are termed as networked images, thereby contributing to networked performance as a field of practice, it also highlights the hauntological condition of such a practice.
Use of ferric salt solutions as leaching agents of Co, Ni, Cu, Fe, and Mn from metallic alloys of spent lithium-ion batteries and separation of iron from the leaching solution
Authors: Tran T.T. , Lee M.S.
Published: October 2022

Smelting reduction of spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) results in metallic alloys containing Co, Ni, Cu, Fe, and Mn. In order to recover the valuable metals contained in the metallic alloys, they need to be dissolved. In this work, the mixture of Fe2(SO4)3 and FeSO4, single Fe2(SO4) and FeCl3 solutions were used as leaching agents and the effects of parameters such as ferric salt concentration, reaction temperature and time, and pulp density on the leaching of the metals were studied. The difference in the leaching percentage of the metals due to the type of the ferric solutions was insignificant. In these leaching systems, ferric and hydrogen ions act as oxidants and sulfate/bisulfate and chloride anions act as ligands. Optimal conditions for the complete leaching of metals by single ferric solutions were 0.35 mol/L Fe2(SO4)3 or 0.7 mol/L FeCl3 at 12.5 g/L pulp density for 60 min at 22oC. The addition of H2O2 to the leaching solution for the oxidation of Fe(II) to Fe(III) enhanced the selective extraction of iron over Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Mn(II), and Si(IV) by D2EHPA. Stripping of iron from the loaded D2EHPA with aqua regia resulted in a pure iron solution. Compared to HCl and H2SO4 solutions, the use of single ferric solution showed some advantages such as fast reaction kinetics at 22?C and the reduction in the dosage of acids and oxidants.
Leveraging Cost Accounting to Manage Earnings: Evidence from Toshiba’s Semiconductor Business
Authors: Ramasubramanian Hari , Gujarathi Mahendra R. , Feldmann Dorothy
Published: October 2022

This case pertains to the interplay of cost accounting, performance measurement, and financial reporting issues in Toshiba’s semiconductor business. It addresses how Toshiba manipulated its reported profits by inappropriately allocating its budgeted fixed overheads and not recognizing inventory losses in a timely manner in the financial statements. These manipulations overstated profits of the semiconductor business by ¥36.0 billion, almost a quarter of the total of Toshiba Corporation’s ¥151.8 billion profit overstatement. The investigation report indicated that the profit manipulations were a likely outcome of top management’s unrealistic expectations. For the semiconductor business of Toshiba, the timely recognition of inventory losses would have offset the profit misstatements resulting from the inappropriate allocation of budgeted fixed overheads. Alternatively, proper allocation of budgeted fixed overheads would have reduced or even avoided the need to recognize inventory losses. The case provides an integrative view of cost and financial accounting.

Published: October 2022

Glucokinase-maturity-onset diabetes of the young (GCK-MODY) is caused by heterozygous inactivating mutations in glucokinase (GK, gene symbol GCK) and impaired glucose sensing. We investigated effects of dorzagliatin, a novel allosteric GK activator, on insulin secretion rates (ISR) and beta-cell glucose-sensitivity (βCGS) in GCK-MODY and recent-onset type 2 diabetes. In a double-blind, randomized cross-over study, eight participants with GCK-MODY and 10 with type 2 diabetes underwent 2-hour 12-mmol/L hyperglycemic clamps following a single oral dose of dorzagliatin 75mg or matched placebo. Effects of dorzagliatin on wild-type and mutant GK enzyme activity were investigated using a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+) coupled assay with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) in vitro.

Objective: This exploratory analysis of a large, randomized, double-blind study (NCT02106351) describes the effect of treatment with abobotulinumtoxinA followed by a tailored home exercises therapy programme in enabling children with upper limb spasticity due to cerebral palsy to achieve their functional goals using goal attainment scaling (GAS).Methods: Children with cerebral palsy and spasticity in ≥ 1 upper limb received up to 4 injection cycles of abobotulinumtoxinA (2 U/kg (cycle 1 only), 8U/kg and 16U/kg) into the elbow and wrist flexors and other upper limb muscles selected to support individual treatment goals. Children followed a home exercises therapy programme, which included stretches and exercises specifically chosen to facilitate goal achievement and engagement in activities.Results: For cycle 1, most children had active function goals set as their primary goal (69.7% vs 19.2% passive function goals). GAS T- scores and goal responder rates at week 16 indicated that most types of primary goal were achieved at least as expected during cycle 1 (all groups). Primary goal GAS T-scores were generally maintained for the first 3 abobotulinumtoxinA treatment cycles.Conclusion: Most children with upper limb spasticity treated with repeat cycles of abobotulinumtoxinA supported by an individualized home exercises therapy programme achieved their functional goals.
LAY ABSTRACTTreatment with botulinum toxins (such as abobotulinumtoxinA; aboBoNT-A) is often recommended to treat spasticity of the upper limb to help children with cerebral palsy improve their hand skills. In this large study, children with cerebral palsy were treated with up to 4 aboBoNT-A injection cycles followed by a home exercises programme that was specifically made for each child to help them meet their treatment goals. This study aimed to explore the types of goals the children wanted to achieve with this treatment and the factors that influence goal attainment. Most children in this study had “active function” goals set, including “involving the affected arm more in daily activities” and improving “reaching”, “use of limb as a helping hand” and “grasp and release”. Combined treatment with aboBoNT-A and the exercise programme helped most children achieve their goals, but it was difficult to discern any differences in efficacy between the aboBoNT-A doses used in the study. The authors suggest that the high rates of goal achievement in this study indicate that botulinum toxin should not usually be given without a physiotherapy programme.
meg + kunst: Kunst, kunstig intelligens og digital kunstformidling
Authors: Sem Idunn
Published: October 2022

The article refers to the digital art mediation project KURATERT (eng: CURATED) aimed at young people, and the prototype me + art in particular. Using artificial intelligence, me + art facilitates an exploration of art through the user’s own private photographs, uploaded from their own mobile phone. The work is situated within the ongoing shift in art and art mediation from object to viewer, from dialogue as a method to dialogue as a situation, and ‘prosumer’ as a new spectator role. The aim of this article is to direct attention to a space of opportunity, where theoretical perspectives on the potential of art are applied creatively and experimentally, along with new digital technology. And finally, what opportunities do we miss out on if we do not enter this space of opportunity of digital art mediation, where young people are co-creators and art mediation becomes part of the larger ecology of digital production, sharing and consumption of visual expressions that surrounds us.
Abstraction in Action: Post-Qualitative Inquiry as an Approach to Curating
Authors: Kukkonen Heidi Marjaana
Published: October 2022

In this self-study, I describe the process of curating an exhibition about abstract art for children. The field of museum education lacks studies about experiences with and approaches to abstract art. In order to find new ways to approach abstract art outside of the traditional dialogue-based methods and to imagine how a child might want to experience abstract art, I began to conduct a post-qualitative inquiry with an emphasis on ontology and epistemology. I used the concept of abstraction as a creative force and a method, and the post-qualitative inquiry became a lived inquiry. My experiments were influenced by post-structuralist theory. I moved from the critical tradition towards experiential museum education in my curatorial decisions. The process made the educational potential of abstract art visible: abstraction is a safe opportunity to explore feelings of uncertainty and discomfort, and a strategy to deconstruct stiff patterns in order to get creative.
En affektiv og performativ ungdomskritikk
Authors: Pettersen Anette Therese
Published: October 2022

What parts of the art experience are made visible in the criticism of it, and what criticism formats are available to youths? This article is informed by my own practice as a performing arts critic and is a theoretical exploration and self-study of an affective and performative criticism as well as a proposal for a possible critical practice for youths who attend performances at school. Theories of criticism, performative writing and affective spectatorship are used to discuss how the social, associative, affective as well as artistic aspects of attending a performance can be a part of a critical text or critical practice for youth.
VI BLIVER SKOV BLIVER VI. Økologisk opmærksomhed i kunst og håndverk gennem kunstnerisk praksis i naturen
Authors: Illeris Helene
Published: October 2022

This chapter shows possible ways to work pedagogically with the transdisciplinary theme “sustainable development” in Norwegian arts and crafts education. Through aesthetic and sensory explorations of and with visual, material and social phenomena in nature, the human-centered world view of the curriculum is challenged by a more eco-centered approach. The empirical example guiding the text is taken from the author’s participation in Grow Forest!, a performance workshop for children led by the Danish performance artist Marika Seidler at INGRID – Deep Forest Art Camp in Denmark in July 2019. The aim of the camp was to let the children experience nature as a place for artistic experimentation with the possibility of encountering new and exciting challenges. Theoretically the chapter focuses on the concept of ecological awareness as developed by the British ecologist and literature scholar Timothy Morton (2016, 2018). Through analyses of narratives from Grow Forest! The chapter develops three eco-centered pedagogical approaches to arts and crafts education: ecological intimacy, ecological solidarity, and ecological magic. When adopted by teachers, the hope of the author is that these approaches will be able to enhance the ecological awareness of the pupils and in a longer perspective to give them a bodily anchored experience of nature as more than just a resource for human consumption.

Trancendental Values In Pancasila As The Personality Of The Indonesian Nation (Perspective From A Muslim)
Authors: Basri Basri , Kurniaty Yulia , Krisnan Johny
Published: October 2022

It turns out that when studied more deeply there is a match between the teachings of Islam and the values of Pancasila. On this basis, the researcher expresses the opinion that there is no reason to contradict the teachings of Islam and Pancasila. In fact, according to the researcher, the values of Pancasila are complemented by Islamic teachings and it is possible that the values of Pancasila come from Islamic teachings. Therefore, there is no need for Muslims to question Pancasila as the basic philosophy of the Indonesian nation and state. For others, when there is a reaction from Muslims, for example there is an issue to replace Pancasila with another ideology, there is no need to react excessively, because it cannot happen and be conducted by Muslims. Such an attitude is just a reaction to what happened, in which some Muslims are seen as contradicting the values of Pancasila as the personality of the Indonesian nation. This is the real problem that needs to be found at the root of the problem. Keywords: Pancasila-Personality-Nation-Indonesia
A clinically informative screening for perinatal depression: bringing psychopathology and positive mental health together
Authors: Carona Carlos , Canavarro Cristina , Quartilho Manuel , Fonseca Ana
Published: October 2022

Universal screening for perinatal depression (PND) has been widely debated, and several trustworthy guidelines have been published worldwide on how to effectively conduct it. Nevertheless, a narrow view of perinatal mental health and the strict adherence to condition-specific assessment protocols limit the clinical utility of such screenings. In this paper, traditional approaches to screening for PND are revisited to simultaneously consider two main and highly correlated psychopathological dimensions (i.e., anxiety and depression), as well as the complementary aspects of flourishing mental health. For that purpose, straightforward methodological guidelines are discussed on the grounds of current empirical research to maximize the cost-effectiveness of clinically informative PND screenings.

Authors: Türker Aras Ülkü Ayşe , Korkmazer Engin
Published: October 2022

Objective: We aimed to evaluate adolescent pregnancy rates and both maternal and perinatal adverse pregnancy outcomes in a secondary care public hospital. Methods: Maternal and perinatal pregnancy outcomes of pregnant women of adolescent age who applied to a secondary level public hospital between June 2018 and March 2021 were evaluated. The study was started with 1803 patients. After the exclusion criteria, the study was continued with 1753 patients. Results: When the parameters that are significant in the binary analysis are analyzed by logistic regression analysis; 2.13-fold the risk of preterm birth (CI: 1.319–4.625), 1.621-fold the risk of premature rupture of membranes (CI: 1.461–2.328), 2.412-fold the risk of low birth weight (CI: 2.894–4.297), and 1.768 fold the need for NICU (CI: 1.013–2.121) were observed to increase. Conclusion: Negative characteristics of adolescent pregnancies should also be taken into account while developing health policies in the coming years. Poor outcomes of adolescent pregnancies should be transferred to both healthcare professionals and society, and adolescent pregnancies should be reduced.

Published: October 2022

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence, risk factors, clinical presentation, management, morbidity and mortality of ectopic pregnancy (EP) by evaluating all cases treated in a tertiary care center in Ankara. Methods: A total of 1243 cases were retrospectively studied who were diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy during the clinical course and were treated in the early pregnancy unit between January 2014 and December 2018. Demographic information from hospital records, e.g., risk factors, ultrasound findings, initial and followed up b-hCG levels, and treatment methods (followed up, medical, and surgical) were recorded. Results: The incidence of EP was 7 per 1000 pregnancies. The mean age was 30.64±5.71 years. The most common risk factors for EP were previous abdominal surgery (37.8%) and previous miscarriage (28.6%). Eighty-three (22%) of patients diagnosed between 2013 and 2014, 129 (34.2%) of patients diagnosed between 2015 and 2016, and 165 (43.8%) of patients diagnosed between 2017 and 2018 had a history of Cesarean section. Seventy-seven (6.2%) cases were followed up, 487 (39.2%) were treated surgically, and 772 (62.1%) were treated with methotrexate. Conclusion: Delivery by Cesarean section is a risk factor for the development of EP. Cesarean section has been shown to be an important factor in the increase of the incidence of EP over the years. As a result of this increase, new treatments have been developed and conservative surgical or drug treatments have been initiated. Close monitoring of the current literature evaluating ectopic pregnancies and treatment according to this literature will decrease mortality and morbidity rates.
Takotsubo Syndrome and Its Genetic Relationship: Case Report and Narrative Literature Review
Authors: Ferrari Natalia , Santos Mariana Gomes de Oliveira , Alvarenga Marcela Rodrigues da Cunha , Moraes Leticia Peres , Miguel Dafane Lima , Moser Melchior , Quessada Flavio
Published: October 2022

Introduction: Takotsubo Syndrome (TTS) is presented as a temporary loss of systolic function, it is usually associated with emotional or physical stress. However, its pathophysiology is not well defined. Thus, this article seeks the relationship between the genetic factor and the development of Takotsubo Syndrome. 

Methodology: The study is about a narrative review and two case reports on TTS. 

Results: TTS is related to the excess of catecholamines, and its genetic linkage is strongly considered due to recent studies where occasionally it has been noticed its hereditary connections, such as: increased cardiac sensitivity to catecholamines and cardiac vulnerability to adrenergic stressors, impaired regulation of norepinephrine release, syndrome fragile X, and CD36 deficiency. 

Discussion: There is still no conclusion of the leading factors to TTS. However, being female, being in the postmenopausal period, and exposed to stressful conditions are some of the risk factors that can develop the disease, and which are better accepted by the scientific community.

Conclusions: Although TTS is a disease of low prevalence, it is increasingly present in the routine of the cardiologist. The great difficulty lies in its diagnosis as it does not present a pathognomonic symptom and it is similar to other diseases, such as ACS. This causes it to pass absent-mindedly during the emergency primary investigation. Thus, there is a need to expand studies related to this disease and to investigate its genetic association.

Published: October 2022

Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a common diagnosis made in the Emergency Department (ED) representing about 15% of hospital admissions for acute abdominal complaints. We sought to investigate if bedside ultrasound as performed by ED physicians is a reliable test to diagnose and rule out SBO.  This was a prospective cohort study of nonconsecutive patients who presented to an academic, suburban ED with a census of approximately 100,000 patients per year between November 2018 and May 2019. Patients with a history of prior abdominal surgeries who presented to the ED with nausea and/or vomiting and had a CT Abdomen and Pelvis with PO contrast ordered by their provider were consented for a bedside ultrasound. Interpretation was performed by the physician performing the study at bedside. The physician performing the study identified the largest loops of bowel in each of the four quadrants and measured the identified loops from bowel wall to bowel wall.  A diameter of greater than 2.5 cm was considered positive for dilated bowel and probable obstruction. At the completion of the study the physician entered their interpretation of the result which was later reviewed by an ultrasound fellowship-trained physician. There were 101 patients included in the study. Study personnel were accurate in 92% of cases. Overall the sensitivity of point of care ultrasound (POCUS) for SBO was 90% (72.7 to 97.8) and specificity was 92% (82.7 to 96.9). The positive and negative likelihood ratios were 10.76 (4.95 to 23.38) and 0.11 (0.04 to 0.33). Given that our study demonstrated a low negative likelihood ratio, those with low probability of an SBO on history could have an ultrasound examination performed at the bedside which could be sufficient to rule out this disease without requiring patients to undergo further imaging.

Exploring Motherhood and Oppression in Geetanjali Shree’s Novel Mai: Silent Mother
Authors: Rani Anshul
Published: October 2022

Reproduction and motherhood are two major aspects which have been discussed throughout the history of feminism. There are a number of literary works which provide enough space to mother characters that can be categorised as maternal fiction. After analysing the portrayal of mothers and their narrative it seems that the sole purpose of women is reproduction. This is how they can have a fulfilling life. In this paper we analyse the portrayal of women in the Indian context and how Geetanjali Shree silently questions this institutionalised and idealised picture of mother in her novel “Mai: Silent Mother.” She depicts how societal apparatus works to imprison women.
Representation of Women Characters in Preethi Shenoy’s ‘It’s All in the Planets’
Authors: Rajeev Ruby
Published: October 2022

'It’s all in the Planets' is a charismatic love story written by Preethi Shenoy. It was published in September 2016. The author of the novel, Preethi Shenoy is an Indian author, Speaker and famous blogger. In this paper, I am analysing this novel from the perspective of feminism, especially how the author presented her female characters. Feminism originated as an offshoot of the women's suffrage movement. The major feminist theorist is Toril Moi, Simone de Beauvoir, Elaine Showalter etc. It is a movement against men’s ideologies and society’s certain representations. Their main concern was the representations of women in literature. Traditionally females are represented in literature as passive characters. Though the feminists broke all such representations, our literary works do not completely get rid of such representations. Many of the authors still present women as passive in their works. In this novel too there are such representations. Superficially it is a love story between two persons who are living in two different worlds. They have their tastes, opinions and attitudes. Even they have two life partners (living relationships). But ultimately fate joins them.
Modulaciones de la memoria televisiva. Inquietudes sobre las series y el género en tiempos de streaming
Authors: Gómez Ponce Ariel
Published: October 2022

El artículo se interesa por identificar transformaciones de la serie televisiva en los nuevos escenarios tecnológicos, atendiendo especialmente a los modos en que las plataformas de streaming seleccionan, denominan y exhiben sus repertorios de ficciones, a la vez que diseñan otras experiencias de expectación. La premisa sostendrá que, en esos catálogos digitales que administran el flujo serial, vestigios de la televisión perviven, aunque dicha tecnología se haya extenuado. En los términos teóricos de Mikhail Bakhtin, tal fenómeno puede afrontarse como un género discursivo, más particularmente como una memoria genérica que oscila entre la permanencia y el cambio, carácter tensivo siempre a tono con la dinámica sociohistórica. Describiré, desde esa postura teórica, tres mutaciones de la forma seriada que son fundacionales en su memoria: el broadcasting, el blockbuster y el streaming. Un último tramo se orientará a preguntarse qué contratos de lectura está proponiendo la cultura digital y algorítmica en esos catálogos de series que prometen ser personalizados, inacabables y en permanente renovación como la misma discursividad social.

Authors: SARAÇ Ömer
Published: October 2022

The aim of this study is to identify the career planning attitudes of hotel workers and to determine whether these attitudes vary in accordance with the gender and age of the workers. The data were attained from the hotel workers in the Taksim Talimhane region in Istanbul by benefitting from the survey technique, and 564 participants were reached. A statistical package program was used in the data analysis, and frequency, percentage, t-test, and factor analysis were applied. As a consequence of the analyzes conducted, the career planning attitude levels of the hotel workers have a high average. While the career planning attitudes of the hotel workers did not vary according to gender, a statistically significant difference was obtained in terms of age.

The present article reports the successful non-extraction orthodontic treatment using miniscrew anchorage in a patient who presented with maxillary left central incisor loss and unstable jaw movements. The chief complaints of the 23-year-old female patient were her protruding teeth and crowding of the mandibular anterior segment. The patient lost her maxillary left central incisor as a result of a traumatic injury during childhood. However, the crown was saved and attached to the adjacent teeth. The patient was diagnosed with a skeletal Class III and Angle Class III dental malocclusion. The jaw movements determined by a 6 degrees of freedom jaw movement recording system were unstable and irregular. Miniscrew anchorage was applied for distalisation of the maxillary right dentition and the mandibular dentition during non-extraction treatment. The maxillary left dentition was mesialised using miniscrew anchorage to close the space as a result of the lost maxillary left central incisor. After an active treatment duration of 36 months, the patient achieved a Class II molar relationship on the left side, a Class I on the right side, an optimal overjet and overbite, and a pleasing facial profile. Despite the asymmetric molar relationships, functionally stable and smooth jaw movements were established. The skeletal, occlusal and functional stability remained satisfactory after a 2-year retention period. In conclusion, miniscrew anchorage was valuable in supporting asymmetric tooth movement during non-extraction appliance treatment in a patient who presented with traumatic unilateral tooth loss.
Comparison of tree-based methods used in survival data
Authors: Yabaci Aysegul , Sigirli Deniz
Published: October 2022

Survival trees and forests are popular non-parametric alternatives to parametric and semi-parametric survival models. Conditional inference trees (Ctree) form a non-parametric class of regression trees embedding tree-structured regression models into a well-defined theory of conditional inference procedures. The Ctree is applicable in a varietyof regression-related issues, involving nominal, ordinal, numeric, censored, as well as multivariate response variables and arbitrary measurement scales of covariates. Conditional inference forests (Cforest) consitute a survival forest method which combines a large number of Ctrees. The Cforest provides a unified and flexible framework for ensemble learning in the presence of censoring. The random survival forests (RSF) methodology extends the random forests method enabling the approximation of rich classes of functions while maintaining generalisation errors low. In the present study, the Ctree, Cforest and RSF methods are discussed in detail and the performances of the survival forest methods, namely the Cforest and RSF have been compared with a simulation study. The results of the simulation demonstrate that the RSF method with a log-rank score distinction criteria outperforms the Cforest and the RSF with log-rank distinction criteria.
Estimating the population mean using a complex sampling design dependent on an auxiliary variable
Authors: Chaudhuri Arijit , Samaddar Sonakhya
Published: October 2022

In surveying finite populations, the simplest strategy to estimate a population total without bias is to employ Simple Random Sampling (SRS) with replacement (SRSWR) and the expansion estimator based on it. Anything other than that including SRS Without Replacement (SRSWOR) and usage of the expansion estimator is a complex strategy. We examine here (1) if from a complex sample at hand a gain in efficiency may be unbiasedly estimated comparing the “rival population total-estimators” for the competing strategies and (2) how suitable model-expected variances of rival estimators compete in magnitude as examined numerically through simulations.
A modified robust confidence interval for the population mean of distribution based on deciles

Published: October 2022

The confidence interval is an important statistical estimator of population location and dispersion parameters. The paper considers a robust modified confidence interval, which is an adjustment of the Student’s t confidence interval based on the decile mean and decile standard deviation for estimating the population mean of a skewed distribution. The efficiency of the proposed interval estimator is evaluated on the basis of an extensive Monte Carlo simulation study. The coverage ratio and average width of the proposed confidence interval are compared with certain existing and widely used confidence intervals. The simulation results show that, in general, the proposed interval estimator’s performance is highly effective. For illustrative purposes, three real-life data sets are analyzed, which, to a certain extent, support the findings obtained from the simulation study. Thus, we recommend that practitioners use the robust modified confidence interval for estimating the population mean when the data are generated by a normal or skewed distribution.
On the nonparametric estimation of the conditional hazard estimator in a single functional index
Authors: Gagui Abdelmalek , Chouaf Abdelhak
Published: October 2022

This paper deals with the conditional hazard estimator of a real response where the variable is given a functional random variable (i.e it takes values in an infinite-dimensional space). Specifically, we focus on the functional index model. This approach offers a good compromise between nonparametric and parametric models. The principle aim is to prove the asymptotic normality of the proposed estimator under general conditions and in cases where the variables satisfy the strong mixing dependency. This was achieved by means of the kernel estimator method, based on a single-index structure. Finally, a simulation of our methodology shows that it is efficient for large sample sizes.

Published: October 2022

In this paper, a new Poisson area-biased Ailamujia distribution has been formulated to analyse count data. It was created by combining two distributions: the Poisson and area-biased Ailamujia distributions, using the compounding technique. Several distributional properties of the formulated distribution were studied. Its ageing characteristics were determined and expressed explicitly. A variety of diagrams were used to demonstrate the characteristics of the probability mass function (pmf) and the cumulative distribution function (cdf). The parameter of the developed model was estimated by employing the maximum likelihood estimation approach. Finally, two data sets were used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the investigated distribution.

Published: October 2022

In today’s highly regulated cities, a conspicuous pattern of marginal open space has emerged between buildings and streets. With rapid population growth, different activities are also emerging in the open spaces, particularly in the cities of developing countries. This study explores the informal use of the marginal open spaces along residential streets in Ile-Ife, Nigeria, to identify the physical planning implications. The data for this study were mainly collected through a questionnaire survey and open space measurements. Findings established that the major activities in the open space were necessary (earning income), socio-cultural and leisure pursuits. Land-use problem occurrence index (LPOI) showed that the significant challenges associated with the use of the space were an increase in travel time to destinations (LPOI = 4.33), open space littering (LPOI = 4.17), traffic and pedestrian congestion (LPOI = 4.17), and degradation of aesthetics (LPOI = 3.99). It is therefore concluded that the use of marginal open space has both positive and negative effects on the residential environments of the Nigerian city. The study adds to the body of knowledge in urban studies by empirically investigating the physical planning implications of the everyday use of marginal open space in a developing country.
