Model for predicting metabolic activity in athletes based on biochemical blood test analysis by Victoria A. Zaborova, Evgenii I. Balakin, Ksenia A. Yurku, Olga E. Aprishko, Vasiliy I. Pustovoyt

“…The discriminant function of predicting metabolic processes in athletes has a high information capacity (92.1%), as confirmed by the biochemical results of neuroendocrine system activity, which characterized the body's stage of adaptive regulatory mechanisms in response to stress factors. The classification matrix used to predict the metabolic processes based on the results of the discriminant function calculation demonstrates the statistical significance of the model (p ​< ​0.01). …”

Flooding and child development: Evidence from Vietnam by My Tra Nguyen, Kien Le

“…They are also 0.11 standard deviations thinner in height, 3.8 percentage points more likely to be underweight, and 0.27 points lower in subjective well-being. Our mechanism analyses show that the adverse impacts of flooding on child development could be ascribed to the declines in food expenditure and household wealth as well as the increase in the amount of time spent on productive activities such as housework. …”
