Abstract

The stock market is dynamic and highly chaotic due to its complicated nature. The prediction of future stock prices has gained the interest of investors and researchers. Numerous conventional and hybrid approaches were put forth. The projections performed poorly and strangely did not get any better. This study aimed to predict Philippine Stock Exchange closing prices using a proposed hybrid method. This proposed study aimed to improve the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) performance using the Kepler Optimization Algorithm, a metaheuristic algorithm, in conjunction with the Artificial Neural Network (ANN-KOA). ANN is a widely accepted technique in predicting. Still, the Kepler Optimization Algorithm can provide random initial inputs for the method through effective feature selection. It can identify superior subsets of input variables to integrate into ANN, enabling more accurate prediction. In this study, the ups and downs were grouped, and 12 technical indicators with varying lengths of days 3, 5, 10, 15, and 20 were used to decompose the original historical data, which are regular and smoother than the original data. The historical data was normalized into [-1, 1], so the predicted result would be 0 (decrease) or 1 (increase) otherwise. Finally, to obtain the train and test data, it was fused into five groups and tested using the ANN and ANN-KOA. The experiment's outcome of 0 (a declining stock price) indicates two alternative courses of action based on the two scenarios: holding if investors have already purchased it or purchasing if they haven't made a decision. In this proposed study, ANN-KOA resulted in higher accuracy than ANN. However, regarding the number of elapsed times, KOA-ANN provided a slower time than ANN. On the other hand, in terms of variations of lengths of the days, 3-5-10-KOA-ANN outperformed the variations of lengths of days: 3-5-10-ANN, 3-5-10-15-KOA-ANN, 3-5-10-15-20-KOA, and 3-5-10-15-20-KOA-ANN. In conclusion, this study suggested that it be utilized for other problems, such as predicting academic performance, diseases, floods, etc.

Abstract

Educators are the people who are responsible for all educational processes, so it would be better if learning plans were designed before the implementation took place so that student learning outcomes could be optimized. One of the things that needs to be prepared is learning media. The selected learning media must be able to convey the content of the learning material, either in the form of videos, slides, images, or graphics. Course Presentation is an interactive media in the form of slides that can be filled with videos and interactive quizzes equipped with adaptive feedback. This type of research is in the form of R&D with the ADDIE model, which aims to develop Course Presentation as a learning medium that improves students' mathematics learning outcomes. This research took place in class 9F SMPN 2 Sumber, totaling 32 students. The study results showed that Course Presentation was suitable for learning mathematics through an expert validity test analyzed using the V-Aiken formula. The validity of the material was 0.86 with a valid category, and the media validity result was 0.76 with a valid category. In addition to the feasibility of the media, this study also tested Course Presentation to improve students' mathematics learning outcomes; through the Normalized Gain test, students' mathematics learning outcomes increased by 0.5 with the medium category. From this data, it can be concluded that Course Presentation can be used as a learning medium to improve students' mathematics learning outcomes

Abstract

This paper focuses on financial inclusion (FI), a fast-embracing topic with potential drivers of economic growth and the improvement of individual financial well-being. This study contributes to the existing literature by analysing how financial inclusion influences stock market participation (SMP) in Nepal, explicitly emphasising the intermediary role of economic knowledge. The study employed a causal-comparative research design, and the data were collected from 403 individual investors actively participating in the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) trading. The statistical tools used to meet the objectives of this research are descriptive statistics, factor analysis, and structure equation modelling. The study results show that FI and knowledge influence individual investor participation in the stock market. The result also indicates that FI is positively related to stock market activity, while it is essential to enhance citizens' FK significantly. Further, mediation analysis shows that FK partially mediates the relationship between FI and SMP. This suggests its pivotal role in narrowing the gap between access to financial services and actual investment behaviour. These findings underscore the critical role of FI in creating an inclusive and participatory financial ecosystem within Nepal. Longitudinal data in future research can capture the evolving dynamics of FI and its long-term impact on SMP.

Abstract

Topological transformations involve altering the shape or structure of surfaces without changing their fundamental properties. One key property is the Euler characteristic, a topological invariant that remains constant under continuous deformations. This study employs an inductive approach to explore how various transformations can preserve the Euler characteristic, providing insights into the underlying principles. The study aims to deepen our understanding of the relationship between topological transformations, changes in the number of vertices, edges, and faces, and their impact on Euler's characteristics. The study investigates the transformation of various objects, such as spheres and polyhedra, within the Euclidean plane, deriving generalizations about preserving Euler's characteristics. Furthermore, the article explores the ideas of proving Euler's theorems related to topological transformations in the Euclidean plane through an inductive approach. It focuses on the conceptual development of topological transformations, utilizing various visual representations and providing specific arguments. The article enhances the understanding of the concepts and principles involved in topological transformations while preserving Euler's characteristics by employing visual aids and illustrations. The article emphasizes explicitly the inductive derivation of the application of Euler's theorem in determining the genus of surfaces. The inclusion of visual representations and specific arguments further enhances the understanding and conceptual development of these topics.
