Ratio Interval-Frequency Density with Modifications to the Weighted Fuzzy Time Series

The improvement of plantation forecasting accuracy, particularly with regard to coffee production, was an essential aspect of earth observations for the purpose of informing plantation management alternatives. These decisions included strategic and tactical decisions on supply chain operations and financial decisions. Many research initiatives have used a variety of methodologies to the forecasting of plantation areas and related industries, such as coffee production. One of these methods was known as the fuzzy time series (FTS) technique. This  study combined ratio-interval and frequency density to get universe of discourse and partition followed by adopted weighted and modified that weighted. The first step was defined universe of discourse using ratio-interval algorithm. The second step was partition the universe of discourse using ratio-interval algorithm followed by frequency density partitioning. The third step was fuzzyfication. The fourth step built fuzzy logic relationship (FLR) and fuzzy logic relationship group (FLRG). The fifth step was adopted the modification weighted. The last step was defuzzyfication. The  models evaluated  by  average  forecasting  error  rate  (AFER)  and  compared  with  existing methods.  AFER  value  1.24%  for  proposed method

Food Insecurity In San Pedro, Ecuador: The Association Of Food Insecurity With Dietary Diversity And Bmi

Background: Limited research has examined the association between food insecurity and both dietary diversity and body mass index (BMI) in rural, Ecuador. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on a sample of 237 patients and family members visiting a primary care community clinic. To determine food security level, the Escala Latinoamericana y Caribeña de Seguridad Alimentaria (ELCSA) was employed. Outcome was measured using the Household Dietary Diversity Score (HDDS) and BMI was deduced using measured height and weight. These measures were then evaluated in their associations with food security level, adjusting for wealth stratum for the HDDS variable. Results: As severity of food insecurity increased, the prevalence of normal weight decreased and the prevalence of overweight increased. However, these findings did not reach statistical significance (p=0.316). A statistically significant association was found between HFI and HDDS: as severity of food insecurity increased, low HDDS increased substantially from 18.2% to 54.7%, while high HDDS decreased from 63.7% to 22.7% (p Conclusions: Future studies should follow the impacts of food insecurity on both dietary diversity and BMI given the ongoing nutrition transition in Ecuador

Pengaruh Perubahan Book to Market Value, Nilai Tukar, Dan Ukuran Perusahaan Terhadap Perubahan Return Saham

Capital market theory is concerned with the equilibrium relationship between risk and expectedreturn on risky assets (Drew, et al (2003). This study aims to investigate the effects of bookto-market value, exchange rate and firm\u27s size changes on the stock returns. The use of Engle-Granger\u27s Error Correction Model completed with Cointegration Test, allow this study to testthe short term as well as the long term relationship between variables. The evidence show thatbook-to-market value and exchange rate changes do predict the stock return changes, but not forthe firm\u27s size. The interpretations and the implications are discussed

Further Purification of an Isolated Nitrile Hydratase Fraction With Asparaginase and Glutaminase Activity from Rhodococcus Rhodochrous and Evaluation of its Kinetics and Properties as a Potential Treatment for Human Leukemia

L- Asparaginase is capable of hydrolyzing L-asparagine into L-aspartic acid and ammonia. This catalytic function is used for the treatment of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia resulting in the depletion of L- asparagine in the leukemia cells. Bacterial asparaginase used in current leukemia therapies has side effects and short serum half-life. This study presents the purification and characterization of nitrile hydratase (NHase) with asparaginase (ASNase) and glutaminase (GLNase) from Rhodococcus rhodochrous DAP 96253and 96622.The influence of pH, lysis buffer composition, dialysis process, anion exchange chromatography’s flow rates and pH were incorporated into the approach to purify NHase exhibiting ASNase activity.A NHase purified at pH 7.6, using 50 mM phosphate buffer, 5mM 2-mercaptoethanol as a lysis buffer, then dialyzed, followed by anion exchange chromatography and subsequent size exclusion chromatography showed a higher ASNase and GLNase activity and lower NHase activity. This enzyme shows potential as leukemia treatment
