Is Gen Z in India Moving Towards Financial Independence? - A Study of Their Investment Preferences
Authors: Dugar Mahek , Madhavan Vinodh 
Published: June 2023

Gen Z are financially more sophisticated than any previous generation was at their age and are only at the beginning of their journey to financial independence. With increasing evidence of Gen Z investing in India, the current study aims to explore their investment preferences. A survey was conducted for age group 15-25 asking them about their source of monthly funds, proportions and reasons for saving, investment preferences including proportions, avenues, time frame, risk perceptions and behaviour of investing. The study finds that saving habits of Gen Z are significantly different across gender, age and annual family income and they are gradually moving towards financial independence by relying on their own earnings. Consequently, we found that Gen Z’s investments were largely influenced by higher saving proportions and investing experience of their family members. We also observe that Gen Z is investing long term in assets like Equity Shares, Mutual funds, Fixed Deposit and Gold/Silver, and intraday in risky assets like Crypto. Factors like rate of return, long term gains and historical performance were found to influence their investment decisions as more than 50% of the Gen Z were found likely to invest in Growth and SIP’s of mutual funds, Growth and Value equity stocks and in Banking and Information Technology sector. Lastly, we see that majority of Gen Z follows a herd behaviour, uses new age investing apps, fearing losses find it difficult to take the first step in investing but are optimistically ready to learn and improve their investing skills.

Purpose: Unpredictable and rapid change in weather patterns has great impact on agricultural activities, especially for precision agriculture that results in worsened water resources availability, decreased soil fertility, use of pesticide as well as decreased yield productivity. In attempt to alleviate these challenges, this study aims at developing a real-time weather and farm field data driven Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) system that analyze, manage and schedule irrigation and fertigation as well as enabling farmers to interact with their farms via Smart phone or PCs to optimize energy and water resources.
Methodology: The system employs weather condition monitoring sensors such as atmospheric pressure, air temperature, air humidity and wind speed for collecting real-time farm field data and uses Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) to predict rainfall rate at farm area for 24 hours period. The system also gathers field data such as soil moisture content and soil nutrient content and uses the Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to predict the time for irrigation and fertigation. By combining weather and farm field data, the system schedules the irrigation and fertigation activity. In addition, the mobile application is developed for the farmers to interact, control and monitor the farming activities and the data is presented to the farmers in both graphical and numerical formats.
Findings: The system prototype deployed and tested in the two hectors Maize farm proved that 55% of water, 51% of energy and 20% of fertilizer were saved as well as increases in 20% of Maize yield production compared to previous season.
Recommendations: Since the current irrigation and fertigation practices are based on predetermined time of the day and threshold values for automatic irrigation, this solution introduced the new concept of real-time and short-term weather forecasting that enables farmers to balance the irrigation period and weather pattern for water and fertilizer resources optimization.

Published: June 2023

Purpose: Recently, business uncertainty and pressures have challenged routine activities in consumer goods manufacturing companies (CGMC), resulting in dwindling performance due to their inability to respond swiftly and correctly to strategic marketing planning practices. However, proactive manufacturing businesses strive to evaluate their operational activities and thus put measures in place to improve their performance as a condition of continuous existence and future development. Such organisations analyse their routine functions periodically, through operational methods that allow the evaluation of their market strategy, current performance and function as management guides. The study therefore investigated the moderating role of Marketing Audit (MA) on strategic marketing planning and organisational performance of selected quoted consumer goods manufacturing companies in Lagos,
Methodology: Survey research design was used for this study. The population was 594 staff in the sales and marketing departments of the selected CGMC in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study adopted total enumeration method. Purposive sampling technique was employed. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential (multiple regression) statistics.
Findings: The findings showed that marketing audit has a significant moderating effect on the effect of strategic market planning on organisational performance of selected quoted consumer goods manufacturing companies in Lagos State, Nigeria.
Recommendations: The study therefore recommends that top management of CGMCs should review the companies MA on marketing strategy process of personnel with correct organizational values and attitudes.

Quartz under stress: Raman calibration and applications of metamorphic inclusions to geobarometry
Authors: Reynard Bruno , Zhong Xin 
Published: June 2023

Abstract. An experimental calibration of the shifts of three major Raman peaks of quartz with hydrostatic pressure and uniaxial differential stress is presented, and implications for their use in geobarometry based on
Raman spectroscopy of quartz inclusions are discussed. The position of the 206 cm−1 peak depends only on hydrostatic pressure P, and its pressure dependence is recalibrated with a peak-fitting procedure that is more adequate for Raman barometry than previous calibrations. The position of the 128 and 464 cm−1 peaks depends on P and also on differential stress σ, which can be determined from the position of these two peaks knowing hydrostatic pressure from the position of the 206 cm−1 peak. The results obtained here are different from those inferred previously from first-principles calculations. The present calibration provides direct relationships between Raman shifts and stress, with a simple formulation of residual pressure and differential stress assuming uniaxial stress along the c axis of quartz inclusions. It is tested on data from experimental and natural inclusions. Residual pressures from the present calibration are similar within uncertainties to those obtained with previous experimental calibrations. Residual differential stresses obtained from the 128 and 464 cm−1 peaks are very sensitive to the precision of Raman measurements. Experimental inclusions yield residual pressures consistent with synthesis pressure. Differential stresses obtained on some experimental inclusions are sometimes incompatible, providing a criterion for identifying inclusions under complex stress conditions that are not appropriate for geobarometry. Recent data on natural inclusions show self-consistent differential stress, consistent with the assumption of major stress along the symmetry axis of the inclusion crystals. The average pressure values from the 128 and 464 cm−1 peaks are similar to the residual pressure from the 206 cm−1 peak that depends only on hydrostatic pressure. It can be used to obtain pressure when the 206 cm−1 peak position cannot be used due to interference with host mineral peaks. Using the 128 and 464 cm−1 peaks alone, or averaging either 128 and 206 or 206 and 464 cm−1 peaks, can induce systematic bias in the residual pressure determination. Applications of the present results to natural inclusions suggest that combined determination of residual pressure and differential stress may be used for both barometry and thermometry pending further calibration.

Authors: Malaina Martín Álvaro 
Published: June 2023

Partiendo del concepto de “rizoma” de Deleuze que entiende el conocimiento de forma no jerárquica, como aprehensión de multiplicidad, proponemos un marco conceptual de análisis fílmico, el "rizoma etno-cinematográfico", como vehículo paralelo y convergente de creación artística audiovisual y observación para-etnográfica. Presentamos el ejemplo de dos largometrajes de la directora independiente tailandesa Anocha Suwichakornpong, concebidos como rizomas etno-cinematográficos: By the time it gets dark (Dao Khanong, 2016), que trata sobre la memoria histórica de la masacre de estudiantes de la Universidad de Thammasat en 1976 y Krabi 2562 (codirigida con Ben Rivers, 2019), que nos introduce en el microcosmos sociocultural de la localidad turística de Krabi. Destacamos su estructura rizomática fragmentada que presentan una multiplicidad de líneas narrativas y cronológicas que se ensamblan de manera compleja para hacer emerger un aparato cinematográfico de gran belleza estética y profundo conocimiento para-etnográfico de la realidad social tailandesa pasada y presente.

Authors: Intang Nur , Stevani Hendra , Dewi Ratnasari 
Published: June 2023

Minyak kuda (Equus caballus) sering digunakan oleh masyarakat Jeneponto untuk menyembuhkan luka, namun bukti ilmiah tentang hal tersebut masih kurang. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui efektifitas dari minyak kuda pada penyembuhan luka kelinci jantan (Oryctolagus cuniculus). Minyak kuda diperoleh dari lemak kuda pada bagian perutnya yang dibuat dengan metode destilasi uap air. Minyak yang diperoleh kemudian diberikan pada kelinci jantan yang terlebih dahulu diberikan luka sepanjang 3 cm dengan kedalaman 0,2 cm, kemudian untuk pembanding digunakan betadin dan sebagai kontrol negatif tidak diberi perlakuan. Pengamatan dilakukan selama 7 hari dengan melihat perubahan panjang luka pada kelinci jantan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terjadi penurunan luka yang signifikan antara tiap perlakuan dimana pada hari ke-7 rata-rata menunjukkan adanya perubahan namun kelompok perlakuan dengan pemberian minyak kuda lukanya sudah sembuh dibandingkan dengan betadin dan kontrol negatif. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dan analisis data maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemberian minyak kuda murni efektif dalam menyembuhkan luka kelinci jantan namun efeknya tidak jauh berbeda dengan betadin.Horse oil (Equus caballus) is often used by the people of Jeneponto to heal wounds, but scientific evidence regarding this is still lacking. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of horse oil on wound healing in male rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus). Horse oil is obtained from horse fat in the stomach, which is made by the steam distillation method. The oil obtained was then given to male rabbits, which were first given a 3 cm wound with a depth of 0.2 cm, then betadine was used as a comparison, and as a negative control, they were not given any treatment. Observations were made for 7 days by observing changes in the length of the wound in male rabbits. The results showed that there was a significant reduction in wound size between each treatment; on the 7th day, the average showed a change, but the treatment group with horse oil had healed compared to betadine and negative controls. Based on the results of the research and data analysis, it can be concluded that giving pure horse oil is effective in healing the wounds of male rabbits, but the effect is not much different from betadine.

Examination of “The Tide,” CRI, and Physiologic Respiration: A Mathematical Analysis
Authors: Berkowitz Murray R. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This study seeks to examine the inter-relationship of what William Garner Sutherland, DO called “The Tide,” the Cranial Rhythmic Impulse (CRI) palpated by practitioners of Osteopathy in the Cranial Field (OCF), and physiologic or pulmonary respiration. This study is different in that it proposes a mathematical analysis of these several phenomena to reconcile whether these are part of the same overarching natural wave or they are distinct. The pertinent medical literature is reviewed. The mathematics of Fourier analysis is briefly described. This study performed “reverse” Fourier analysis, that is, the combination of the various periodic signals into one periodic signal, across the range of normal physiological data values. Stochastic techniques were then applied to resolve these probabilistic data into 1 overarching periodic signal. From the mathematical analysis, it is not mathematically possible for “The Tide” to be in the range of the fundamental frequencies of the CRI, pulmonary respiration, and the Traube-Hering-Mayer oscillations that derive from it and are its harmonics. This mathematical analysis cannot be construed as negating the existence of “The Tide,” rather merely eliminates these fundamental frequencies as being “The Tide.” “The Tide” must be something else. More research is indicated.

Abstract: Natural compounds such as biological colorants (biocolorants) have long been employed as crucial ingredients for dying textile in the textile industry. As one part of the BioColour Consortium project, our goal is to take advantage of machine learning (in cluster analysis) to discover possible clusters of bio-dyed textile in the absence of ground truth labels or other knowledge of expert domains. Specifically, we use unsupervised learning methods of agglomerative clustering, fuzzy c-means, ordering points to identify the clustering structure (OPTICS) and self-organizing maps (SOMs), resulting in an investigation that combines data visualization and cluster analysis. In summary, we apply some selected data mining methods to 1) discover hidden clusters emerging among products that are colored with biocolorant (specifically bio-dyed textile samples), and 2) show the potentials of clustering techniques in the case study.
