A comparison of model choice strategies for logistic regression
Authors: Karhunen Markku 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to develop and compare model choice strategies in context of logistic regression. Model choice means the choice of the covariates to be included in the model.

Design/methodology/approach
The study is based on Monte Carlo simulations. The methods are compared in terms of three measures of accuracy: specificity and two kinds of sensitivity. A loss function combining sensitivity and specificity is introduced and used for a final comparison.

Findings
The choice of method depends on how much the users emphasize sensitivity against specificity. It also depends on the sample size. For a typical logistic regression setting with a moderate sample size and a small to moderate effect size, either BIC, BICc or Lasso seems to be optimal.

Research limitations
Numerical simulations cannot cover the whole range of data-generating processes occurring with real-world data. Thus, more simulations are needed.

Practical implications
Researchers can refer to these results if they believe that their data-generating process is somewhat similar to some of the scenarios presented in this paper. Alternatively, they could run their own simulations and calculate the loss function.

Originality/value
This is a systematic comparison of model choice algorithms and heuristics in context of logistic regression. The distinction between two types of sensitivity and a comparison based on a loss function are methodological novelties.
The Triple Helix of innovation as a double game involving domestic and foreign actors
Authors: Mêgnigbêto Eustache 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Purpose
The collaboration relationships between innovation actors at a geographic level may be considered as grouping two separate layers, the domestic and the foreign. At the level of each layer, the relationships and the actors involved constitute a Triple Helix game. The paper distinguished three levels of analysis: the global grouping together all actors, the domestic grouping together domestic actors, and the foreign related to only actors from partner countries.

Design/methodology/approach
Bibliographic records data from the Web of Science for South Korea and West Africa breakdown per innovation actors and distinguishing domestic and international collaboration are analyzed with game theory. The core, the Shapley value, and the nucleolus are computed at the three levels to measure the synergy between actors.

Findings
The synergy operates more in South Korea than in West Africa; the government is more present in West Africa than in South Korea; domestic actors create more synergy in South Korea, but foreign more in West Africa; South Korea can consume all the foreign synergy, which is not the case of West Africa.

Research limitations
Research data are limited to publication records; techniques and methods used may be extended to other research outputs.

Practical implications
West African governments should increase their investment in science, technology, and innovation to benefit more from the synergy their innovation actors contributed at the foreign level. However, the results of the current study may not be sufficient to prove that greater investment will yield benefits from foreign synergies.

Originality/value
This paper uses game theory to assess innovation systems by computing the contribution of foreign actors to knowledge production at an area level. It proposes an indicator to this end.

Published: January 2024

Internal and external factors greatly influence the optimal breeding of chickens in the maintenance of chickens, with temperature and humidity being one of the external factors that greatly influences. Improper ambient temperature can cause losses to the chicken farmer as well as a decrease in productivity, while in practice it is necessary to monitor or check the control consistently to monitor the temperature of the coop. Temperature and humidity monitoring manually are less efficient, so the tools in this study aim to help farmers to facilitate monitoring that can be done through devices with accurate results. This tool is assisted by a DHT11 sensor, lamps, fans, and LCD in temperature monitoring. supported by the application of IoT, which makes it easier to monitor via devices. Test results on components and software show that all devices and software can function as they should. The data from the experimental test results of 15 tests conducted in the laboratory indicate that the tool can detect an average relay delay time of 1 of 0.836 seconds, the lamp in response to the temperature drop of 1.271 seconds, the delay from relay 2 by 0.466 seconds, and the fan in response to the temperature increase of 0.596 seconds.

The Extraordinary Adventures of Orpheus in the Tragicomedy of the Same Name by Aurelio Aureli and Antonio Sartorio (1672)
Authors: Немцова А.А. 
Published: January 2024

Статья посвящена венецианской трагикомедии «Орфей» Аурелио Аурели и Антонио Сарторио, исполненной на сцене театра Сан-Сальваторе в 1672 году. Автор статьи предлагает читателю познакомиться с одним из самых неординарных прочтений канонического мифа в оперной литературе, а также объясняет причину его грандиозного успеха у современников, которая кроется в паритете абсурдности либретто и серьезности музыки. Анализ музыкальной драматургии показал, что реабилитировать испорченную либреттистом репутацию музыканта-полубога композитору помогла одна из главных условностей венецианской трагикомедии ― большое число разнохарактерных арий.
The article is devoted to the Venetian tragicomedy “Orfeo” by Aurelio Aureli and Antonio Sartorio, performed at the San Salvatore Theatre in 1672. The author of the article offers the reader to get acquainted with one of the most extraordinary readings of the canonical myth in opera literature, and also explains the reason for its grandiose success among contemporaries, which lies in the parity between the absurdity of the libretto and the seriousness of the music. An analysis of the musical dramaturgy has shown that one of the main conventions of Venetian tragicomedy – the large number of arias of various characters – helped the composer to rehabilitate the librettist’s spoilt reputation as a musician-half-god.

An " Academic Review and Critique of Gender Dynamics and Life Insurance Uptake in Ghana: A Study of the 2018 Publication by Ampaw et al."
Authors: Malambo Maalila 
Published: January 2024

The study conducted by Ampaw et al. titled “Gender perspective on life insurance demands in Ghana" examines the factors affecting the adoption of life insurance by male and female household heads. Their findings suggest that women in Ghana purchase more life insurance products than men, which may be useful for insurers in maximizing profits. However, the study overlooks critical considerations such as claim costs, administrative expenses, and profitability. While the authors' unique focus on gender dynamics is noteworthy, they did not consider household size, literacy levels, premium costs, and government incentives for women to purchase policies. Prior research indicates that education, awareness, income, and employment are key determinants of life insurance uptake in Ghana, which contrasts with the authors' findings. Further research is necessary to examine the relationship between insurance and customer value or profitability. In conclusion, while Ampaw et al.'s research adds to the scarce literature on life insurance demand in Africa, it lacks practicality and ignores significant factors. Additional research is necessary to comprehend the determinants of life insurance uptake in Ghana and insurance's role in customer value and business profitability in Africa.

Authors: Nwankwo Cosmas Anayochukwu , Kanyangale Macdonald Isaac 
Published: January 2024

Purpose: In Nigeria, microfinance banks (MFB) face the burden of investing in cyber security to protect their databases, prevent monetary losses, maintain customer trust, and remain afloat in a competitive business environment. However, there are incessant cyber risks and attacks by criminals who gain undue access to the cyber-space of MFB and cause financial and non-financial loss.
Design/methodology/approach: The objective of this quantitative study was to examine the effect of cyber security on the business sustainability of three listed, and most valued MFBs in Nigeria. The population of the study was 315 senior, medium and junior employees of three MFBs in Nigeria. As the target population was manageable, the research adopted a census. Data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire, and the formulated hypothesis was analysed using multiple regression.
Findings: The study found that cyber security has a significant and positive impact on the sustainability of MFB in Nigeria. Data availability account for the largest contribution to the sustainability of MFBs, followed by data confidentiality and data integrity. Employees in a MFB uphold that data availability, confidentiality, and integrity are pivotal elements of cyber security that influence the sustainability of their organisations in Nigeria. Given these results from the viewpoint of employees, MFBs are implored to regularly review and strengthen their risk management strategy and adopt a more integrative approach of human-centric cybersecurity, which brings technology and human elements together to address current and future cyber risks and build and sustain consumer trust in digital financial transactions. The implication of the study and areas for future research are highlighted.
