The failure of anomaly indicators in finance

01 Feb 2021  |  mathinvestor.org  |  English  |  Science & Research

A crisis of replicability in science has been highlighted by various studies across fields such as cancer research, economics, and psychology, with many unable to replicate the results of previous studies. In finance, the issue is exacerbated by backtest overfitting, where investment funds and strategies that perform well in backtests fail when applied in practice. A study by Kewei You, Chen Xue, and Lu Zhang analyzed 452 anomaly indicators in finance and found that most failed to replicate. The study suggests that capital markets are more efficient than previously recognized. The article also discusses the pressure to publish new results in academic finance, leading to a lack of rigorous verification of previous results. It calls for better education in modern statistics for finance researchers and practitioners to prevent statistical malpractices and improve replicability.

Spring is no longer what it used to be... and it comes earlier

26 Mar 2024  |  groundreport.in  |  English  |  Environmental Science

Climate change is causing earlier springs, disrupting the phenological cycles of plants and animals. This leads to mismatches between species, such as plants flowering before their pollinators are active, which can result in reduced fruit and seed production. Examples include premature plant blooming in Kashmir, India, and altered bear hibernation patterns. Phenological changes are being tracked by scientists and citizen science programs, highlighting the need for long-term research to understand ecosystem impacts. Experts suggest habitat restoration and biodiversity conservation as mitigation strategies, but emphasize the importance of reducing CO2 emissions to address the root cause of these changes. Global temperature increases have led to the earliest cherry blossom season in Japan in 1,200 years and other phenological shifts worldwide.

Convincing people to buy ‘wonky’ vegetables could help reduce food waste

29 Sept 2022  |  www.euronews.com  |  English  |  Sustainability

Consumer demand for 'perfect' produce contributes significantly to food waste, with research from Ohio State University indicating that shoppers need persuasion to buy misshapen vegetables. Marketing strategies that highlight the nutritional equivalence and environmental benefits of 'wonky' vegetables are most effective. Despite some progress, a 2018 University of Edinburgh study estimated that 50 million tonnes of fresh produce are discarded annually in Europe for cosmetic reasons. Supermarkets like Lidl and Waitrose have started selling imperfect crops due to climate change, but consumer perceptions still need to shift.

U.S. cereal rye winter cover crop growth database

07 Mar 2024  |  www.nature.com  |  English  |  Data Collection

The article presents a study on cereal rye, a common winter cover crop in the United States, focusing on its biomass production and associated ecosystem services. The study compiled plot-level observations from various agronomic, soil, and climate conditions across the eastern half of the United States. Data included biomass, nitrogen content, carbon to nitrogen ratio, and other agronomic and soil metrics. The study aimed to help farmers optimize cover crop termination timing for maximum benefits and support the adoption of winter cover crops for climate resilience and reduced soil erosion. The dataset excluded outliers and observations from sites terminating cover crops after May. Statistical analysis was performed using R software, and the final dataset showed a mean cereal rye biomass of 3,428 kg ha−1. The variability in biomass production was attributed to differences in agronomic, soil, and climate factors.

The study estimates potential savings from therapeutic substitution, where branded drugs are replaced with generics within the same class. Using data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (2010-2012), the study found that $73 billion in excess expenditure was due to branded drug overuse, with $24.6 billion in out-of-pocket costs. The analysis highlights significant savings across various drug classes, including statins and atypical antipsychotics. Despite opposition from physician organizations, therapeutic substitution could reduce drug costs without compromising care quality.

Sex-Biased Associations of Circulating Ferroptosis Inhibitors with Reduced Lipid Peroxidation and Better Neurocognitive Performance in People with HIV

28 Aug 2024  |  MDPI  |  English  |  Neurocognitive performance

The study investigates the role of circulating ferroptosis inhibitors, specifically ferritin heavy-chain-1 (FTH1) and ferritin light-chain (FTL), in reducing lipid peroxidation and improving neurocognitive performance in people with HIV (PWH). It highlights sex-biased differences, showing that higher levels of these ferritins are associated with better neurocognitive outcomes, particularly in women. The research suggests that these proteins may protect against iron-mediated lipid peroxidation, a process linked to neurocognitive impairment in PWH. The findings underscore the importance of iron regulation in HIV neuropathogenesis and suggest potential therapeutic interventions to mitigate neurocognitive decline.

Why We Both Hate and Admire Big Tech Entrepreneurs

27 Dec 2023  |  ITespresso.es  |  Spanish  |  Public Perception

A study by Vox and Data for Progress in 2021 revealed that 47% of Americans have negative feelings towards billionaires, yet another study by Ohio State and Cornell found that people still admire figures like Elon Musk and Bill Gates. Margaret O’Mara, a history professor at the University of Washington, explains this contradiction by pointing to a 'religion of the entrepreneurial spirit' that fills the void left by declining faith in other institutions. She notes that while the success stories of tech entrepreneurs are compelling, they often overlook the privileges that contribute to their success. O’Mara argues for a society where more people have the advantages and connections to build their own businesses. She also highlights that tech billionaires have defined modern success, making entrepreneurship a widely admired goal.

Recyclable? Try refillable. The quest for a greener cleaner

19 Mar 2023  |  www.seattletimes.com  |  English  |  Consumer Behavior

Angela Espinoza Pierson's realization that most plastics are not recycled led her to try refillable household cleaners. With the environmental impact of plastic waste, many Americans are seeking to reduce single-use plastic usage. Companies like SC Johnson, Dove, and The Body Shop have introduced refillable products. Upstream's CEO Matt Prindiville notes a significant increase in reuse-refill startups. The shift to refillables is driven by the need to reduce corporate carbon footprints, with household cleaners being a prime candidate due to their water-based composition. Grove Collaborative and Clorox have entered the refillable market, with the latter aiming to halve its virgin plastic packaging by 2030. However, consumer adoption is slow due to ingrained habits and higher upfront costs. Despite this, refillable products are gaining traction, with advocates and businesses hoping for a broader shift towards sustainability.

To clean a toaster, brush away crumbs from the heating elements and slots with a soft-bristle pastry brush, use a thin paint brush to reach crumbs along the bottom rim, and empty the crumb tray. Wash the tray with warm soapy water if needed. To clean the outside, use a damp cloth with a drop of dish soap for stains. Avoid flipping the toaster or banging it to remove crumbs, as this can damage it according to research by The Ohio State University.

VIDA: Women in Literary Arts faced backlash after halting the publication of an essay by poet Hannah Cohen in its Reports from the Field section, which was designed to share accounts of sexual misconduct in the literary world. Cohen's essay, detailing her experience with harassment and subsequent trolling, was stopped due to a 'conflict of interest' involving Ohio State University. The decision led to criticism and a temporary suspension of the section. VIDA is now revisiting its policies, while former board member Lynn Melnick has launched a new campaign, #saferlit, to address systemic causes of sexual violence.
