A statistical approach to assess interspecific consumptive competition and functional redundancy in ephemeral resource uses using camera traps by Yoshihiro Nakashima, Akane Hashizume, Akane Kanda

“…We extended time‐to‐detection occupancy modeling to quantify interspecific consumptive competition and redundancy of ecosystem functions through consumption between two species, while accounting for observation censoring. By treating resource use by rival species as censored data, we estimated the proportion of resources potentially used in the absence of rival species and calculated the loss caused by the rival species, which is defined as “Competition Intensity Index.” …”

A weighted difference loss approach for enhancing multi-label classification by Qiong Hu, Masrah Azrifah Azmi Murad, Azreen Bin Azman, Nurul Amelina Nasharuddin

“…WDL operates on three core principles: (1) transforming labels into a normalized distribution to model their relative proportions; (2) computing learnable, weighted differences across this distribution to explicitly capture inter-label dynamics and trends; and (3) employing a label-shuffling augmentation to ensure the model learns intrinsic, order-invariant relationships. …”

الاتزان الانفعالي وعلاقته بالتفكير السريع – البطي وتعلم مهارة التهديف السلمي بكرة السلة by نهاد محمد علوان, هبة فاضل حسين

“…To achieve these objectives, the researcher used the descriptive approach and selected a sample of (28) students in which the scale of emotional equilibrium was applied and the scale of fast- slow thinking and the test of Lay up shot in basketball skill. After collecting the data and treating them statistically by using laws (Pearson correlation coefficient - multiple correlation coefficient) to verify the validity of the study hypotheses, It was reached the following results: 1- Emotional balance is directly proportional to quick-slow thinking, whenever student's balancing increases, her thinking ability also increases and thus increased her ability to learn skills. 2-Emotional balance works on improving the player's level well, leading to of learn layup shot better …”
