Abstract

Background
Physical activity plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and wrist-worn wearables, such as smartwatches and smart bands, have become popular tools for measuring activity levels in daily life. However, studies on physical activity using wearable devices have limitations; for example, these studies often rely on a single device model or use improper clustering methods to analyze the wearable data that are extracted from wearable devices.

Objective
This study aimed to identify methods suitable for analyzing wearable data and determining daily physical activity patterns. This study also explored the association between these physical activity patterns and health risk factors.

Methods
People aged >30 years who had metabolic syndrome risk factors and were using their own wrist-worn devices were included in this study. We collected personal health data through a web-based survey and measured physical activity levels using wrist-worn wearables over the course of 1 week. The Time-Series Anytime Density Peak (TADPole) clustering method, which is a novel time-series method proposed recently, was used to identify the physical activity patterns of study participants. Additionally, we defined physical activity pattern groups based on the similarity of physical activity patterns between weekdays and weekends. We used the χ2 or Fisher exact test for categorical variables and the 2-tailed t test for numerical variables to find significant differences between physical activity pattern groups. Logistic regression models were used to analyze the relationship between activity patterns and health risk factors.

Results
A total of 47 participants were included in the analysis, generating a total of 329 person-days of data. We identified 2 different types of physical activity patterns (early bird pattern and night owl pattern) for weekdays and weekends. The physical activity levels of early birds were less than that of night owls on both weekdays and weekends. Additionally, participants were categorized into stable and shifting groups based on the similarity of physical activity patterns between weekdays and weekends. The physical activity pattern groups showed significant differences depending on age (P=.004) and daily energy expenditure (P<.001 for weekdays; P=.003 for weekends). Logistic regression analysis revealed a significant association between older age (≥40 y) and shifting physical activity patterns (odds ratio 8.68, 95% CI 1.95-48.85; P=.007).

Conclusions
This study overcomes the limitations of previous studies by using various models of wrist-worn wearables and a novel time-series clustering method. Our findings suggested that age significantly influenced physical activity patterns. It also suggests a potential role of the TADPole clustering method in the analysis of large and multidimensional data, such as wearable data.

My fluid diary as an alternative tool for daily recording fluid intake: cross over study among adolescent girlsBackground: Water plays a vital role in the human body. The respondents found the fluid intake record using paper-based excessively burdensome, so a smartphone-based application was developed as a drink intake recording tool.Objective: Assessing the validity of My Fluid Diary as a fluid intake recording tool using 7-day records as a reference method.Methods: A crossover study was conducted involving 38 female students of SMKN 1 Banyumas. Total water intake was recorded for seven days for each method (smartphone-based and paper-based), with 14 days washout period between the two methods. To determine the difference in water intake between the two methods, the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was used; Bland-Altman plots and linear regression tests were used to determine the agreement between the two methods; and the Spearman test was used to determine the relationship between water intake and hydration status.Results: Water intake was significantly higher with smartphone application-based recording than with paper-based recording (1008.3 (421.3 – 2363) and 763.2 (435 – 1875.5); p 0.0001), with agreement limit of 1, 11 – 3.00 and ß -value (0.296) p-value 0.05 in the regression test, indicating no fixed bias. The findings of recording water intake and hydration status were significantly correlated with the two methods (p-value<0,05). The Spearman correlation value shows a negative number in both ways with sufficient correlation strength (0.03 – 0.05).Conclusion: My Fluid Diary smartphone application could be used as an alternate tool for recording fluid intake based on the agreement and hydration status that has been studied. Further research is expected to involve more respondents.

Serum nitric oxide levels are associated with blood pressure in young adults with central obesityBackground: Central obesity is a risk factor for hypertension, which is closely related to the presence of endothelial dysfunction and associated with levels of nitric oxide (NO). Objective: This research was conducted to determine the relationship between NO and blood pressure (BP) in young adults with and without central obesity and also to compare the NO levels and BP between the two groups. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Pekanbaru, Riau, Indonesia, with 80 young adult subjects aged 18-25 years by consecutive sampling, consisting of 40 subjects with central obesity (waist circumference (WC) ≥90 cm and ≥80 cm for men and women, respectively) and 40 subjects without central obesity (WC <90 cm and < 80 cm for men and women, respectively). Blood pressure was measured using a digital sphygmomanometer, and NO levels were measured using Griess methods. The statistical analysis begins with the normality test of the data, normal data was analyzed with the Pearson correlation test, and abnormal data was analyzed with the Spearman test. Differences in the levels of NO, systolic blood pressure (TDS), and diastolic blood pressure (TDD) between groups was analyzed with the Mann-Whitney-U test.Results: Most of the subjects had high NO levels (66.3%). NO levels had a positively significant relationship with systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in total subjects (r = 0.503, p <0.05; r= 0.289, p<0.05, respectively) and with SBP in subjects with central obesity (r = 0.324, p <0.05) but there was no significant relationship in normal subjects. There is a significant difference between serum NO levels, SBP, and DBP between subjects with central obesity and normal subjects (p <0.05).Conclusion: NO levels have a positive significant relationship with SBP and DBP in total subjects and with SBP in young adults with central obesity.

Has the COVID-19 Pandemic Changed Firms’ Management Discussion and Analysis Disclosure Approach? Evidence from Japan
Authors: Nakashima Masumi 
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT
This study examines whether the COVID-19 pandemic changes Japanese firms’ approach to management discussion and analysis (MD&A) disclosure. Based on readability (text genericity) and tone, I investigate whether management obfuscate text during the pandemic or attempt to provide information. Additionally, I examine whether bad news is inherently difficult to read based on the difficulty of the text. During the pandemic, the tone value of MD&A disclosure is negative in fraudulent firms and more negative in nonfraudulent firms. Both types of firms attempt to communicate their company’s situation with honesty, thus satisfying the legitimacy criterion of communicative action theory. This result is not consistent with the results for Europe and the United States, where readability is lower. As a disaster-prone country, Japanese managers may find it easier to share deteriorating firm performance with investors. Nonfraudulent firms also increase textual difficulty during the pandemic, which supports ontology theory.

The Impact of Risk Disclosure Overlaps on Auditor Liability: Evidence from China
Authors: Gotti Giorgio , Liu Leo Jiahe , Pérez Rebeca , Yin Xingqiang 
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT
Audit disclosure requirements have increased across countries in recent years. In this study, we explore a disclosure pattern that has been adopted by approximately 23 percent of Chinese publicly listed companies and their auditors—the disclosure of up to three overlapping items both in the risk factor section of financial reports and in the key audit matters (KAM) section of the audit report. We predict and find that such disclosure overlaps increase auditor liability, using audit fees as a proxy for auditor liability, and that (1) both the magnitude and explicitness of overlapped disclosure are positively associated with auditor liability and (2) analyst following, Top 10 auditors, and auditor tenure play a moderating role in the association between overlapped disclosures and auditors’ perceived liability. Collectively, our analysis supports our hypothesis that KAM disclosure increases auditor liability when coupled with management disclosure of related risk factors.

Peer-Specific Knowledge and Peer Group Properties in Relative Performance Evaluation
Authors: Hung Chung-Yu , Shi Zhenyang 
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT
Although relative performance evaluation (RPE) represents an important compensation practice, selecting a relevant peer firm poses a challenge for compensation committees. We study the implications of a committee’s peer-specific knowledge for the peer group property (i.e., RPE relevance). Committees likely know more about firms within their networks, and such peer-specific knowledge increases with their connections to potential peer firms. Our findings suggest that peer-specific knowledge facilitates not only the inclusion of more relevant peer firms, but also the exclusion of less relevant ones. Moreover, the committees incorporate connected peers’ performance information to a greater extent for risk removal. We address identification challenges by including an intensive set of fixed effects to control for characteristics of the focal and the peer firms and by exploiting exogenous changes to the connections between the committees and the peer firms. Our findings suggest that the compensation committee’s peer-specific knowledge facilitates the RPE practice.

Published: October 2023

ABSTRACTAlthough daylight saving time (DST) is thought to provide economic benefits, extant research documents various adverse effects of DST adjustments. However, prior research provides little conclusive evidence about the effects of DST adjustments on capital market participants. We examine the effects of “spring forward” DST advances, which disrupt the human sleep cycle and economic activities, on investors’ processing of earnings news. We find a delayed price response to earnings news released during the first week following a DST advance. We also find that this effect is stronger among firms with investors who are more likely to be trading on earnings news and among firms with less sophisticated investors. Our findings contribute to research on the unintended consequences of DST adjustments and to the growing literature on intra-investor variation in disclosure processing costs. Our study may be of interest to legislators currently debating proposed legislation that would eliminate DST phasing.Data Availability: Data are available from the sources cited in the text.JEL Classifications: D83; G14; M41; M48.

Adentrar nos meandros da pesquisa educacional, compreender padrões em seus pressupostos metodológicos, suas características procedimentais mais recorrentes, precisamente, como se obtém os dados que sustentam a investigação na área é baliza do presente estudo. O foco da pesquisa centrou-se nas produções de mestrado dos anos de 2013 a 2018 de um programa de pós-graduação em educação avaliado pela Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (Capes/MEC) com conceito 7 (sete). Como problema da pesquisa questionou-se como as dissertações de mestrado, com abordagem qualitativa, de um programa de pós-graduação em educação conceito 7, explanam sua metodologia e técnicas para coleta de dados. A partir de uma pesquisa documental realizada na Plataforma Sucupira, com o recorte temporal delimitado, identificamos 98 dissertações, sendo 96 caracterizadas como qualitativa, 01 quantitativa e 01 mista. Desse modo, o presente artigo objetiva identificar os padrões metodológicos para área de educação em dissertações no período de 2013 a 2018, de um programa de pós-graduação em educação conceito 7. Constatou-se ampla predominância da abordagem qualitativa nas pesquisas educacionais. Percebeu-se também que em relação ao método, o Estudo de Caso, a Pesquisa Documental e a História Oral têm significativa frequência sobre as demais e no que concerne às técnicas para coleta de dados, a entrevista se sobressai. Por fim, verificou-se, ainda a falta de definição do método de investigação em um número significativo de dissertações.
EXPLORING THE INFLUENCE OF CONVERGENT COMMUNITIES ON LEARNERS’ ATTITUDES TOWARD DIVERGENT TRAITS
Authors: Belaid Louiza 
Published: October 2023

The cultural context of speech communities represents people’s life experiences shaped by region, geography, ethnicity, language, and values; all these contribute to the construction of one’s identity. Our study explores the complex reciprocity between the socio-cultural environment and the learners’ identities. The cultural background of learners profoundly affects self-perception and identity construction. Simultaneously, identity construction has a reciprocal effect on interaction and involvement with cultural heritage. Hence, we investigate the impact of rural communities’ cultural repertoire on the personal and professional prospects of learners. To reach this end, third-year pupils from the High School of Sidi Housni, Tiaret, Algeria were selected using a non-probabilistic sampling. We collected data through a survey and an observation, employing both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The findings reveal that the cultural background influences learners’ perceptions of the world, besides their positive divergent attitudes towards gender roles. Furthermore, these valuable insights have important implications for cultivating a more inclusive and flexible learning setting. In a nutshell, divergent and convergent communities possess distinct qualities and resources that collectively foster a gradual transition toward embracing change.
