The wisdom of crowds and transfer market values

Crowd-sourcing of information has become popular in the years since James Surowiecki published The Wisdom of Crowds: why the many are smarter than the few and how collective wisdom shapes business, economies, societies, and nations. In sports, crowd-sourced estimates of players’ values and abilities are common, particularly in football where salary information is generally unavailable. The analysis here first considers the characteristics of a good crowd-sourced value then turns to an empirical analysis which applies those characteristics and their implications to assess the quality of the commonly used crowd-sourced values from Transfermarkt. Our empirical results show systematic influences from some obvious factors indicating that the crowd-sourced transfer fees are biased as predictors of the true market determined fees. The findings are useful because they address the question of whether these values can reasonably be used as proxies for unknown salary in academic research. Additionally, because Transfermarkt values are often used in negotiations between clubs and players, it is useful to both parties to know the accuracy and the bias of the crowd-sourced values.

MUTUAL COHERENCE OF THE CONCEPTS “ECONOMIC EDUCATION” AND “ECONOMIC TRAINING”

The essence of the concepts “economic education” and “economic training” is investigated in the article. It is established that scientists generally characterize economic education as a process and result of mastering systematized economic knowledge, mastering economic concepts, which involves the formation of economic thinking, development of interest in economic problems, their own attitude to the distribution and consumption of material, and spiritual goods. The article indicates the essence of economic education as a process and intellectual property of man to comprehend economic phenomena, to know their meaning, to master its concepts, requirements of observance of economic laws, and to form the economic culture of the person.It is proved that economic education is the basis for economic training of the individual and the basis for the formation of economic culture.The essence of the concept of “economic training” from a standpoint of personal activity, cognitive and activity approaches is revealed.It is determined that the concept of economic training in a broad sense is understood by scientists as an organized pedagogical activity aimed at forming economic consciousness through the transfer of economic knowledge, economic skills and abilities related to economically viable activities, the formation of economically significant personality traits and economic thinking. The author defines economic training as a systematic influence on a person, on the basis of which the formation of his needs, the ability to compare them with the possibilities of their satisfaction and the development of economic qualities of the individual occur.It is proved that the unity of economic education and economic training lies primarily in the commonality of their goals – the formation of economic culture.Keywords: economic education; economic training; economic culture; economic knowledge; views; beliefs; motives; values; economic concepts; economic qualities.

The Role of Temperature in Moral Decision-Making: Limited Reproducibility.

Temperature is one of the major environmental factors that people are exposed to on a daily basis, often in conditions that do not afford control. It is known that heat and cold can influence a person’s productivity and performance in simple tasks. With respect to social cognition, it has also been suggested that temperature impacts on relatively high-level forms of decision-making. For instance, previous research demonstrated that cold temperature promotes utilitarian judgment in a moral dilemma task. This effect could be due to psychological processing, when a cool temperature primes a set of internal representations (associated with “coldness”). Alternatively, the promotion of utilitarian judgment in cold conditions could be due to physiological interference from temperature, impeding on social cognition. Refuting both explanations of psychological or physiological processing, however, it has been suggested that there may be problems of reproducibility in the literature on temperature modulating complex or abstract information processing. To examine the role of temperature in moral decision-making, we conducted a series of experiments using ambient and haptic temperature with careful manipulation checks and modified task methodology. Experiment 1 manipulated room temperature with cool (21°C), control (24°C) and hot (27°C) conditions and found only a cool temperature effect, promoting utilitarian judgment as in the previous study. Experiment 2 manipulated the intensity of haptic temperature but failed to obtain the cool temperature effect. Experiments 3 and 4 examined the generalizability of the cool ambient temperature effect with another moral judgment task and with manipulation of exposure duration. However, again there were no cool temperature effects, suggesting a lack of reproducibility. Despite successful manipulations of temperature in all four experiments, as measured in body temperature and the participants’ self-reported perception, we found no systematic influence of temperature on moral decision-making. A Bayesian meta-analysis of the four experiments showed that the overall data tended to provide strong support in favor of the null hypothesis. We propose that, at least in the range of temperatures from 21 to 27°C, the cool temperature effect in moral decision-making is not a robust phenomenon.

Spectral and Petrographic Properties of Inclusions in Carbonaceous Chondrites and Comparison with In Situ Images from Asteroid Ryugu

Abstract We imaged a set of carbonaceous chondrites from the CM2, CO3, CV3, and CK4 groups using the qualification model of MasCam, the camera on board the asteroid lander MASCOT, which touched down on asteroid Ryugu in 2018 October. A CI1 meteorite was also imaged but excluded from the analysis due to prominent terrestrial weathering. Following the methods used to image the rock on Ryugu, we placed a total of 14 meteorites approximately 20 cm in front of the camera to achieve a spatial resolution of about 0.2 mm per pixel and illuminated the samples with onboard light-emitting diodes of four different colors in the visible wavelength range. We mapped bright and dark inclusions within the meteorites and derived the inclusion brightness relative to the matrix in the red light, the relative spectral slope of each inclusion, the inclusion size frequency distribution and the matrix volume abundance. We find that the meteorite groups overlap within these parameters, but individual samples, as well as individual inclusions, can have deviating values. Terrestrial weathering appears to have no systematic influence on these parameters. Relating our analysis to the inclusions found in the rock on Ryugu, we find that the spectral parameters of Ryugu’s inclusions fit well in the parameter space of the carbonaceous chondrites. Compared with the most common types of carbonaceous chondrites, Ryugu’s rock has larger inclusions (mean diameter: 0.63 ± 0.91 mm) and a higher upper limit to the matrix abundance (92.4 vol%).

Impact of contextualizing information on aesthetic experience and psychophysiological responses to art in a museum: A naturalistic randomized controlled trial.

Contextual information influences aesthetic experience and psychophysiological responses to art, yet these influences have seldom been analyzed with real artworks in a real museum. Consequently, this study set out to assess the aesthetic experience and psychophysiological responses of participants in an art museum viewing 6 artworks of Flemish expressionism. Participants were randomly assigned to one of the experimental conditions, either receiving elaborative information or descriptive information on the artworks. Aesthetic experiences were assessed via a questionnaire and through psychophysiological markers. A systematic influence of contextual information on aesthetic experience could not be shown. However, artworks had effects on aesthetic experience and heart rate, heart rate variability, skin conductance, and skin conductance variability. The results indicate that the characteristics of the artwork itself have a stronger impact than provided contextual information, at least when they are perceived as originals in a museum.

ECT simulation and measurements in ferromagnetic tube using DC homogeneous magnetic field

ABSTRACT The application of Eddy Current Testing (ECT) to ferromagnetic materials is challenging owing to the difficulties stemming to ferromagnetism. Due to the non-linear magnetic permeability, the use of a strong external DC magnetic field is often necessary in order to bring ferromagnetic materials close to magnetic saturation where permeability is minimised; strongly improving eddy current’s penetration in the material volume. In this work, the main application studied is ECT on a ferromagnetic tube with an Inside Diameter (ID) coil. The effect of different levels of the DC magnetic field on the coil impedance changes is investigated both experimentally and by simulation. It is shown that DC field has a systematic influence both to magnitude and phase of the Eddy Current signal. In addition, for the different defect depths, a critical level is observed, where the signals from discontinuities become visible and stand out from the noise of non-linearity. Moreover, for a range of magnetisation field level, the changes of phase angle are distinct for different defects’ depths allowing thus the application of phase analysis for defect characterisation.

Determination of quinclorac by adsorptive stripping voltammetry in rice samples without sample pretreatment

A novel voltammetric method with practically no sample pretreatment was developed for determination of Quinclorac (QNC) in rice samples by using a working Carbon Paste Electrode (CPE) modified with ionic liquid, with deposition potential (ED) of −1.43 V for 30 s in NaOH 0.01 mol L−1. The systematic influence of cations and anions of imidazole ionic liquids on the composition of CPE has evaluated. The best electrode composition was 65% (w/w) of graphite powder, 30% (w/w) of mineral oil and 5.0% (w/w) of C4min+BF4 - ionic liquid (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate). The matrices analyzed were deionized water and extracts of upland rice: white, brown, peel and seed. The limits of quantification ranged between 0.954 mg kg−1 and 3.61 mg kg−1. The recovery percentages of QNC in rice samples ranged between 90% and 121%. The simplicity and good analytical frequency enable the proposed method to be used to obtain preliminary information on the presence of QNC, prior to the implementation of more detailed, costly and elaborate quantitative analyses. The technique can be applied in the study and evaluation of sorption mechanisms, metabolization of the herbicide in plants and its persistence and degradation in the environment.

ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCES ON THE STABILITY OF A PERMANENTLY INSTALLED LASER SCANNER

Abstract. The advancement of permanently measuring laser scanners has opened up a wide range of new applications, but also led to the need for more advanced approaches on error quantification and correction. Time-dependent and systematic error influences may only become visible in data of quasi-permanent measurements. During a scan experiment in February/March 2020 point clouds were acquired every thirty minutes with a Riegl VZ-2000 laser scanner, and various other sensors (inclination sensors, weather station and GNSS sensors) were used to survey the environment of the laser scanner and the study site. Using this measurement configuration, our aim is to identify apparent displacements in multi-temporal scans due to systematic error influences and to investigate data quality for assessment of geomorphic changes in coastal regions. We analyse scan data collected around two storm events around 09/02/2020 (Ciara) and around 22/02/2020 (Yulia) and derive the impact of heavy storms on the point cloud data through comparison with the collected auxiliary data. To investigate the systematic residuals on data acquired by permanent laser scanning, we extracted several stable flat surfaces from the point cloud data. From a plane fitted through the respective surfaces of each scan, we estimated the mean displacement of each plane with the respective root mean square errors. Inclination sensors, internal and external, recorded pitch and roll values during each scan. We derived a mean inclination per scan (in pitch and roll) and the standard deviation from the mean as a measure of the stability of the laser scanner during each scan. Evaluation of the data recorded by a weather station together with knowledge of the movement behaviour, allows to derive possible causes of displacements and/or noise and correction models. The results are compared to independent measurements from GNSS sensors for validation. For wind speeds of 10 m/s and higher, movements of the scanner considerably increase the noise level in the point cloud data.

Comparative Metabolic Profiling of Grape Pulp during the Growth Process Reveals Systematic Influences under Root Restriction.

The compositions and contents of metabolites in the pulp tissue play critical roles in the fruit quality for table grape. In this study, the effects of root restriction (RR) on the primary and secondary metabolites of pulp tissue at five developmental stages were studied at the metabolomics level, using “Red Alexandria” grape berry (Vitis vinifera L.) as materials. The main results were as follows: 283 metabolites were annotated by using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS); 28 and 16 primary metabolites contents were increased and decreased, and 11 and 19 secondary metabolites contents were increased and decreased, respectively, along the berry development; RR significantly decreased 12 metabolites (four amino acids and derivatives, three organic acids, four flavonoids and one other compound) contents, and improved 40 metabolites (22 amino acids and derivatives, six nucleotides, four carbohydrates, four cofactors, three cinnamic acids and one other compound) accumulation at the different developmental stages. Altogether, our study would be helpful to increase our understanding of grape berry’s responses to RR stress.

Developing legal competence of security and defense sector officers in the master's program

Researchers consider the development of legal competence as a scientifically based system of organizing and stimulating the educational and intellectual activities of officers, purposeful, systematic pedagogical influence in order to expand their information and legal space. To develop the legal competence of security and defense sector officers the content of their professional training includes consideration of current problems of legal support for the activities of State Border Protection bodies and the latest threats and challenges to border security. It is proposed to model practical situations based on the professionally oriented problems for officers to learn the skills to make legally justified management decisions on the protection of the state border; to use online services, digital databases and online tools for officers to master the skills of obtaining up-to-date legal information; to provide pedagogical support for self-educational activities of officers to study the legal aspects of border protection.

A - 03 Concussion Symptom Reporting in Sport-Related Concussions During The COVID-19 Pandemic

ObjectiveEvaluation of concussion symptoms is a key element in management of sport-related concussions (SRC). The COVID-19 pandemic has been linked to increased reports of anxiety and depression in the general population, though it is unknown if this increase has also affected reporting of concussion symptoms. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there were differences in reporting of concussion symptoms in adolescents who sustained an SRC before versus during the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsSubjects (n = 707) aged 12–18 with SRC were evaluated within 14 days of injury (M = 5.64 days, SD = 3.68) at a North Texas Concussion Registry (ConTex) clinic and completed the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool-5 (SCAT-5) Symptom Evaluation. Subjects were grouped by those evaluated before (n = 625) or after (n = 82) March 23, 2020 and were similar in age, sex, and history of treatment for anxiety or depression. T-tests were used to compare the number of endorsed concussion symptoms and symptom severity between groups.ResultsThere was no significant difference in number of concussion symptoms endorsed (M = 10.81, SD = 6.53 vs M = 11.35, SD = 6.25, p = 0.463) or symptom severity (M = 28.33, SD = 24.14, M = 26.79, SD = 20.91, p = 0.540) between before vs during COVID-19 SRC groups.ConclusionsIn this cohort of young athletes, results suggest that despite effects of the COVID-19 epidemic on community mental health, we did not see evidence of a systematic influence on SRC symptom reporting during the pandemic.

Effects of thickness and interlayer on optical properties of AlN films at room and high temperature

This paper investigates the systematic influence of thickness (136–412 nm) and temperature (300–860 K) on the refractive index and the band-edge of aluminum nitride (AlN) films. The combination of x-ray diffraction, spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE), and transmittance measurements at 300 K shows that the increase of epilayer thickness or the introduction of an AlN interlayer can improve the crystal quality. This is observed as an enlargement of the grain size, a reduction of the Urbach binding energy, and strain with a corresponding increase in the refractive index and bandgap. Moreover, the expected reduction in the bandgap and the increase of the refractive index are observed at elevated temperatures by SE. The temperature dependence of the refractive index at 632.8 nm and the bandgap were well understood and modeled using a quadratic nonlinear equation and the Bose–Einstein equation, respectively. This high-temperature phenomenological and quantitative analysis suggests that the reduction of the bandgap with temperature is more significant in thinner or noninterlayer films than expected due to the corresponding stronger electron–phonon interactions involved with larger Urbach binding energies. The thickest AlN film in this work (with an epilayer thickness of 412.9 nm and an interlayer thickness of 20.69 nm) has the smallest strength of the average electron–phonon coupling (407 meV) in the temperature range 300–860 K. On the other hand, the temperature-dependent variation of the refractive index in the transparent region is more rapid as the film thickness decreases owing to the high correlation between temperature-dependent bandgap and refractive index. These observations are critical when designing AlN-based device structures that can operate well above room temperature.

A systematic influence of Cu doping on structural and opto-electrical properties of fabricated Yb2O3 thin films for Al/Cu-Yb2O3/p-Si Schottky diode applications

In the present work, transition metal doped rare earth metal oxide (Cu-Yb2O3) thin films have been effectively synthesized on a large scale using low-cost jet nebulizer spray pyrolysis (JNSP) route at different copper (Cu) doping concentrations (0, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, and 4.5 wt%) with optimized substrate temperature of 550 °C. The structural, morphological and opto-electrical properties were investigated using various characterization techniques. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) profile indicates the polycrystalline nature of all the deposited films with a cubic phase and the size of crystallites is found to increase from 11 to 31 nm. The field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) images reveal that the Cu doping has significant impact on the surface morphology of Cu-Yb2O3 films. The atomic force microscope (AFM) analysis exposed higher roughness value for 4.5 wt% of Cu-Yb2O3 films. The elemental composition study approves the presence of Yb, Cu and O in the film. The transmittance and indirect optical energy gap of Cu-Yb2O3 films have been analyzed by UV–Visible spectroscopy which established the systematic band gap reduction of Yb2O3 thin films from 3.68 to 3.14 eV with increasing Cu concentrations. The DC electrical studies showed a maximum conductivity and minimum average activation energy for 4.5 wt% of Cu-Yb2O3 film. The electrical characteristics of the fabricated Al/Cu-Yb2O3/p-Si Schottky diode was investigated using current–voltage (I-V) measurements performed under dark and light conditions. The ΦB (0.911 eV in dark & 0.754 eV in illumination) and minimum n values (2.120 in dark and 1.757 in illuminations) were obtained for MIS diode having Cu doping concentration of 4.5 wt% in Yb2O3.

An in vivo methodology for studying the interfacial interactions between skin and hair with respect to tactile friction and sensory properties

With the increasing of quality of life, consumer’s expectations on high value products are not only on functionality and usability, but also on emotional characteristics. In this work, we developed an in vivo methodology, based on a self-assembled finger friction test apparatus and systematical influence factor investigation, for studying the interfacial interactions between human skin and hair, with respect to tactile friction and sensory properties of human hair bundles before and after using hair care products. It was found that, the tactile friction reduced with the increasing of normal load and product usage. Backward sliding showed higher tactile friction than forward sliding mode. Damaged hair exhibited lower tactile friction than virgin hair under wet situation, while showed higher tactile friction than virgin hair under dry situation. The developed methodology has been used preliminarily to investigate the tactile friction of hair after using several well-designed hair care products.

Fiber Orientation Mechanism of Continuous\xa0Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastics Hybrid Parts Joined with Metallic Pins

Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic (CFRT) hybrid parts offer interesting possibilities for lightweight application, which can exceed the capabilities of mono material metal or CFRT parts. In this case, the joining technology oftentimes is the limiting factor. This study investigates a joining operation with metal pin structures which are additively manufactured via powder bed fusion featuring different diameters and tip geometries, which are inserted into the locally infrared heated CFRT part. The resulting fiber rearrangement is assessed using transmitted light microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy as well as micro-computer-tomography. It could be shown that for all assessed pin variants a similar distinct fiber displacement can be seen and that the pin diameter has a significant effect on the resulting fiber orientation with smaller pin diameters being advantageous because of gentle fiber displacement and reduced undulation. The tip geometry has only minor effect on the fiber orientation. Especially in the X/Y plane no systematic influence of the tip geometry on the fiber displacement could be observed. Based on the gained insights a three-stage model of the fiber orientation processes is proposed.

Effect of Polymer Hydrophilicity and Molar Mass on the Properties of the Protein in Protein-Polymer Conjugates: The Case of PPEylated Myoglobin.

Polyphosphoesters (PPEs), a versatile class of biodegradable and biocompatible polymers, have been proposed as alternatives to poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), which is suspected to be responsible for anaphylactic reactions in some patients after the administration of PEGylated compounds, e.g., in the current Covid-19 vaccines. We present the synthesis and characterization of a novel set of protein–polymer conjugates using the model protein myoglobin and a set of PPEs with different hydrophilicity and molar mass. We report an extensive evaluation of the (bio)physical properties of the protein within the conjugates, studying its conformation, residual activity, and thermal stability by complementary techniques (UV–vis spectroscopy, nano-differential scanning calorimetry, and fluorometry). The data underline the systematic influence of polymer hydrophilicity on protein properties. The more hydrophobic polymers destabilize the protein, the more hydrophilic PPEs protect against thermally induced aggregation and proteolytic degradation. This basic study aims at guiding the design of future PPEylated drugs and protein conjugates.

Unsteady Effects on NOx Measurements in Pulse Detonation Combustion

Emission measurements from unsteady combustion systems such as Pulse Detonation Combustion (PDC) are challenging due to the inherently large variations in pressure, temperature, composition, and flow velocity of the exhaust gas. Comparison of experimental data is additionally complicated by differences in operating conditions and gas sampling setup between different facilities. Qualitative considerations with regard to the sampling process from PDC, based on one-dimensional simulations, indicate a systematic influence of the sampling setup and extraction process on the resulting concentration measurements. Therefore, operating frequency, sample time, fill time, as well as PDC outlet and probe geometry were varied experimentally in order to assess the degree to which each of these parameters impact the resulting measured {rm NO}_{rm x} in order to better inform researchers of these effects when making measurements. It was shown that measured {rm NO}_{rm x} emissions can vary significantly depending on the choice of these parameters and therefore care must be exercised in order to reduce the influence of the sampling technique when aiming for comparable results.

Imitation or Polarity Correspondence? Behavioural and Neurophysiological Evidence for the Confounding Influence of Orthogonal Spatial Compatibility on Measures of Automatic Imitation

During social interactions, humans tend to imitate one another involuntarily. To investigate the neurocognitive mechanisms driving this tendency, researchers often employ stimulus-response compatibility (SRC) tasks to assess the influence that action observation has on action execution. This is referred to as automatic imitation (AI). The stimuli used frequently in SRC procedures to elicit AI often confound action-related with other nonsocial influences on behaviour; however, in response to the rotated hand-action stimuli employed increasingly, AI partly reflects unspecific up-right/down-left biases in stimulus-response mapping. Despite an emerging awareness of this confounding orthogonal spatial-compatibility effect, psychological and neuroscientific research into social behaviour continues to employ these stimuli to investigate AI. To increase recognition of this methodological issue, the present study measured the systematic influence of orthogonal spatial effects on behavioural and neurophysiological measures of AI acquired with rotated hand-action stimuli in SRC tasks. In Experiment 1, behavioural data from a large sample revealed that complex orthogonal spatial effects exert an influence on AI over and above any topographical similarity between observed and executed actions. Experiment 2 reproduced this finding in a more systematic, within-subject design, and high-density electroencephalography revealed that electrocortical expressions of AI elicited also are modulated by orthogonal spatial compatibility. Finally, source localisations identified a collection of cortical areas sensitive to this spatial confound, including nodes of the multiple-demand and semantic-control networks. These results indicate that AI measured on SRC procedures with the rotated hand stimuli used commonly might reflect neurocognitive mechanisms associated with spatial associations rather than imitative tendencies.

Neuro-cardiac coupling predicts transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation effects

BackgroundTranscutaneous auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation (taVNS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique that may constitute an effective treatment for a wide range of neurological, psychiatric, and medical conditions. One key challenge in taVNS research is the high interindividual response variability. To gain an understanding of this variability, reliable biomarkers for taVNS responsiveness would be highly desirable. In this study, we investigated physiological candidate biomarkers while systematically varying stimulation conditions and observing physiological state characteristics. MethodsForty-four healthy young adults received taVNS and sham-stimulation. Subjects were pseudo-randomly assigned to stimulation of the left or right ear. Each subject underwent six blocks of stimulation. Across blocks, respiration-locking (inhalation-locked taVNS vs. exhalation-locked taVNS vs. sham) and the electrode location (tragus vs. cymba conchae) were varied. We analyzed heart rate (HR), various heart rate variability (HRV) scores, and neuro-cardiac coupling (NCC), indexed by the relationship between electroencephalographic delta power and heartbeat length. ResultsWe observed an effect of taVNS on HR and HRV scores during, but not after stimulation. The direction of the effects was consistent with parasympathetic activation. We did not observe any systematic influence of the stimulation conditions that we varied. However, we found baseline NCC scores to be significant predictors for the individual effect of taVNS on HRV scores. ConclusionCardiac effects of taVNS indicate parasympathetic activation. These effects were short lived, which might explain that some previous studies were unable to detect them. We propose NCC as a novel candidate biomarker for responsiveness to taVNS.
