Like these weekly compilations? Support me on Ko-fi! Also, if you tip me on Ko-fi, at the end of the month I'll send you a link to all of the articles I found but didn't use each week - almost double the content!

1. New study says conservation works, providing hope for biodiversity efforts

“A new study published in Science reveals that conservation works, with conservation actions improving or slowing the decline of biodiversity in two-thirds of the cases analyzed.”

2. Monk Seal Pup Debuts in Waikīkī on Lei Day

“Endangered Hawaiian monk seal RK96 (Kaiwi) gave birth to her sixth pup on popular Kaimana Beach in Waikīkī, Oʻahu! […] Hawaiian monk seals are one of the most endangered seal species in the world, so each pup represents hope for the species’ recovery.”

3. West Coast Indigenous-led marine conservation area gets global spotlight

“A coastal First Nation is celebrating global recognition of its marine protected area after recently snagging a “blue park” designation that highlights exemplary ocean conservation efforts around the world. […] Kitasu Bay supports one of the last abundant herring spawns along the central coast, vital to the nation’s communal herring roe on kelp (ROK) fishery - which harvests the protein-rich eggs but leaves the fish alive to flourish and spawn again.”

4. The number of fish on US overfishing list reaches an all-time low. Mackerel and snapper recover

“The report states that 94% of fish stocks are not subject to overfishing, which is slightly better than a year ago. The U.S. was able to remove several important fish stocks from the overfishing list, NOAA said in a statement. […] The removal of species from the overfishing list shows the U.S. is making progress, said Rick Spinrad, NOAA’s administrator.”

5. Researchers Collaborate with the Shipping Industry to Cut Costs, Fuel Consumption and Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Shipping

“Through coordinated ship scheduling and an optimisation of ship operations and port services, the objective is to achieve a substantial increase in energy efficiency and a 10-20% reduction in fuel consumption, consequently resulting in lowered greenhouse gas emissions [and] leading to substantial economic benefits for shipping and environmental advantages for society[….]”

6. The city flower farm that is changing lives

“Heart of BS13 Flowers in Hartcliffe is part of the wider Heart of BS13 charity which tackles food insecurity in south Bristol. Profits from the flower sales to run workshops, offer volunteer and trainee placements, and create education opportunities for people from Hartcliffe.”

7. Four falcon chicks hatch in Glasgow university tower

“Members of the [Glasgow Peregrine] project hope to […] fit [the chicks] with electronic tags that will enable monitoring of their movements. Mr Simpson added: "With the identification tags we can see where they have gone, how high they fly and other information that would be really useful." In recent years the group have held peregrine watches at the university, allowing people to see the birds in their nest.”

8. 'Banana pingers' are saving whales and dolphins around the world

“[T]he Kibel brothers, Pete (a fisheries biologist) and Ben (an engineer) […] have been utilising light to protect turtles, sound to protect porpoises and electro pulses to protect sharks. [… Trials] showed reduced average catch rates of blue shark by 91%, and catch rates of pelagic stingray by 71% […as well as] a fall in the number of sea turtles being trapped by 42%.”

9. New vaccine effective against coronaviruses that haven't even emerged yet

“Researchers have developed a new vaccine technology that has been shown in mice to provide protection against a broad range of coronaviruses with potential for future disease outbreaks -- including ones we don't even know about. […] The new vaccine works by training the body's immune system to recognise specific regions of eight different coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2, and several that are currently circulating in bats and have potential to jump to humans and cause a pandemic.”

10. Grassland birds, Forest birds and Other Migratory Birds to Benefit from More Than $22 Million in Funding Throughout the Americas

“This year, more than $4.87 million in federal funds will be matched by more than $17 million in partner contributions going to 30 collaborative conservation projects in 19 countries across the Americas. “These investments will [… protect] millions of acres of diverse habitats needed by grassland birds, forest birds and shorebirds for wintering, breeding and migration,” said Service Director Martha Williams.”

Hi! Can you please do Repugnant with their so/fwb who has really harsh and bad nightmares. Or just Mary specifically, I love them too much for my own good

Repugnant with an s/o who suffers from night terrors

Mary Goore

Mary doesn't really sleep. Usually they either leave the bed to do their own thing around the house or just lay next to you with their arm around your shoulder as they either scroll away on their phone or read some old, secondhand book they found at a garage sale.

So when they notice you squirm, they just... awkwardly shake you until you wake up. It's not exactly gentle, though.

They straight up ask what happened and give you a hug as you explain everything.

They don't really have snacks, but they're willing to offer you a can of beer and order you a pizza.

They suck at comforting people in most cases, but they're gonna try for you, whether you're dating or just friends. They cherish you.

They'll read to you, even if they're more than a bit embarrassed about their voice acting skills.

Or they'll just let you mess around with their guitar.

Or just let you cuddle them. Your call.

DD Sars (fwb, not s/o)

He usually needs some time to wake up, but once he does, he just sorta shoves you until you wake up as well. Might hit you with a pillow if it takes too long.

Asks what the fuck happened. He doesn't really have a big difference in how he reacts whether you tell him or not.

He's just gonna groan and roll his eyes, but he'll move his arm in a way that lets you know you can get closer and hold onto him if needed.

Offers you a cigarette. Or a joint, if you're really shaken up. He won't judge.

Orders you food. He likes Chinese, but you get to pick if you prefer something else.

He has a few chocolate bars hidden around his apartment for when his period hits, but you're allowed to take however many you need. He will make a scene about this, but he'll get offended if you don't take the chocolate.

He'll just sorta hang out with you for the rest of the night, talking shit about people.

G. Grotesque

At first he just cuddles you tighter, sensing your distress in his sleep.

If it doesn't work, he wakes up, gently shakes you awake and asks what happened.

Whether you tell him about your dreams or now is entirely up to you. He'll react mostly the same.

And that is, with kisses and hugs to comfort you.

He owns several plushies, so if you're at his house, he offers to give you each and every one of them to cuddle with.

If you're at your place and you don't have plushies, he insists you use him as one. He loves being squeezed, so it's not a problem.

If it doesn't work, he asks if you'd like him to play a guitar to him. He has an acoustic one he got from his parents on his birthday. He plays your favorite songs for you while you hold onto his waist and rest against his back.

He stays up with you and cuddles you as long as you need.

E. Forcas

He wakes up easily, so he notices if you start makin any sorts of distressed noises or squirm around.

At first he gently pulls you closer, hoping it helps.

If it doesn't, he'll gently shake you awake.

If you want to open up about your dreams, he'll listen and hold you to offer some comfort. Maybe offer a few hushed reassurances.

You can sleep on top of him or cuddles up to his side. He's an excellent pillow, since he's big and soft.

If you fall asleep, he's holding you the entire time.

If he notices you struggle to fall asleep, he'll get some pillows and blankets in the living room and you two end up on the couch that night (you laying on top of him, most likely) as you watch all your favorite movies.

since it's encouraged to, here's an ask: what can you tell us bout zbra fish? why are they similar to our tumblr's activity modes? (if no one asked before because you can mark me as intrigued!)

Ok so this is from my neurosciences final back in early 2020 (which happened on the Thursday the french government announced it would implement a lockdown the following Monday to limit SARS COV 2 propagation...) and not only is my memory not so good, there's been a lot more literature on the subject since then BUT that being said

Zebrafish are translucent and tiny and with a not too complex brain (and the ethics committee papers aren't to hard to get for them) so they are used as a "model" (I hate the biologists' definition for model btw) for basic neuroscience. For my neuroscience final we were reviewing a paper where they had put a zebra fish in a small flat tank with a camera below, and had put optoelectronics probes in its brain, so they could track both its movement and its cerebral activity. Turned out that there was some interesting correlation between the two and basically zebra fish have like three modes of function which are "exploration" where they swim around seemingly randomly without interacting much with their environment, mapping out the tank –that's lurking; "hunting" with faster more focused swimming to go get the food where they know it is, and are hyper alert –posting and communicating; and a sort of in between mode with the sale brain pattern as hunting but the same behavior as exploration.

I'm trying to find the paper from my memory of the exam but it seems it really spawned a whole field and there's been hundreds published since 2020 lol

France has ordered Apple to stop selling the iPhone 12 for emitting too much electromagnetic radiation.

On Tuesday, the French watchdog which governs radio frequencies also told the tech giant to fix existing phones.

The ANFR has advised Apple that if it cannot resolve the issue via a software update, it must recall every iPhone 12 ever sold in the country.

But the World Health Organization has previously sought to allay fears about radiation emitted by mobile phones.

It says on its website there is no evidence to conclude that exposure to low level electromagnetic fields is harmful to humans.

The iPhone 12 was first released in September 2020, and it is still sold worldwide.

Apple told the BBC it was contesting the ANFR's review, and said it had provided the regulator with lab results from the tech giant itself and third parties which show the device is compliant with all the relevant rules.

It said the iPhone 12 was recognised as being compliant with regulations on radiation levels worldwide.

5G judged safe by scientists but faces tougher radiation rules

Can new iPhone 15 thunder without lightning?

New iPhone, new charger: Apple bends to EU rules

France's digital minister Jean-Noel Barrot told French newspaper Le Parisien the decision was due to radiation levels above the acceptable threshold, according to Reuters.

He said the ANFR found the iPhone 12's Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) was above what is legally allowed.

"Apple is expected to respond within two weeks," he said.

"If they fail to do so, I am prepared to order a recall of all iPhones 12 in circulation. The rule is the same for everyone, including the digital giants."

France will share its findings with other regulators across the trading bloc - which Barrot said could result in "a snowball effect".

The ANFR requires the SAR of devices to be checked against two different ways a phone is used.

First there is a "membre" - or limb - check, for when a phone is in close contact with a person's body, such as when it is held or placed in a trouser pocket. The SAR limit for this is four watts per kilogram.

The regulator said the device's "membre" SAR was 5.74 watts per kilogram - higher than the limit.

There is also a check for when a phone is slightly further away, such as when it is in a bag or jacket pocket, but the iPhone 12's SAR measure came in under this threshold.

The news first broke on Tuesday in France - the same day that Apple unveiled its new iPhone 15.

The new phone is the first since 2012 to feature an alternative charging port, and Apple says it will sell an adapter so people can use their existing cables.

It comes as the Chinese foreign ministry issued a rebuttal against media reports which claimed government agencies had told staff to stop using iPhones.

It said China has not issued any laws, regulations or policies blocking the use of Apple's products.

Détective au + afterlife au for the ask game!!

what's quite funny about this ask is that it became a ghost hunting/destroying storyline and then maybe two hours into writing the snippet i got a ghost hunting au + something else ask. more for me!!

i have a lot but u can send me more randomized aus!

okay SO! recently i saw this 8 episode show called lockwood & co on netflix (originally a book series) and it was sort of a weird first season to follow without the lingo and historical context of the world so basically this is an au adjacent to that concept. inspired by, if you will. one thing that's important is that young ppl lowkey function as living tools to listen to, see, or feel ghosts' energy. so they are tasked with destroying ghosts. without further ado here's a 1.6k word scene of a one-shot idea i'll finish eventually!

–––

Sarah and David stood at the door together, the eerie home where their research had brought them. A haunted item, some music box, had been being bought and sold across the city, only leaving haunting incidents in its wake. It wasn’t hard for the spirit within to free itself with all that travel and the likely lack of protection the music box had undergone. David had tracked the hauntings, cross-referenced with recent black market sales, and estimated the next location via finding the latest buyer’s home. Sarah had surmised the threat level based on the hauntings (the deaths; there had been ten recent ones of hypothermia, which could only mean a ghost’s touch), finding police reports and tapping their forensics friend Finch to properly place what kind of threat they’d be dealing with. 

And now, armed with iron bullets, chest plates, and lined gloves among other things, Sarah tried the doorknob. Unlocked. 

The twins shared a look, David nodding and fingering his pistol as Sarah carefully opened the door.

An iron blade poked into David’s throat, both siblings freezing in place. After a moment, David groaned.

Holding the sword was ex-detective Jack Kelly, who looked about as shocked as David had been. His two brothers-in-arms, Charlie and Anthony, flanked his sides with their own weapons drawn. 

“Who gave you this case?” Jack demanded in a whisper, while Sarah scoffed. 

“Who gave you this case?” she countered. “You’re not registered detectives anymore, Kelly. You can’t be here.”

“And somehow, we were here first,” Anthony grinned. “If we cracked it better and quicker than you, then I think we gotta be the right people to be here.”

“Too many of us’ll make us dead a lot faster, so you guys should go,” Charlie nodded. “We got it covered.”

David scowled, guiding Jack’s iron away from his neck with a finger.

“Not a chance in hell,” he muttered, marching past all of them. “Follow me.”

After a moment of hesitation, he heard footsteps behind him, and his own grew more sure. 

The old hardwood of the house barely creaked under their feet, careful of the noise they made as they were essentially breaking and entering– it was the buyer’s property, and David wasn’t sure if the man was home or not. Essentially, all they had to do was secure the music box and get it to their detective agency, to determine if it should be stored or if it was safer to destroy it. Spirits were mostly tied to objects, and since these specific hauntings had been within a short radius of the box, it had to be the spirit’s physical connection. But where in the house the box could be was another matter. 

David’s hand found his sister’s, letting her take it and closing his eyes. Listening.

“Right,” he heard Jack drawl out. “The spirit gonna give us directions?”

“You know it doesn’t work that way,” David sighed, “or I’d be calling you an empath.”

“He does love his crystals,” Charlie teased, and David heard a small rustling between the two brothers, likely from Jack pushing the other.

“Quiet,” he said softly, suddenly, a small sound at the back of his head. Mechanical, a trill of gears tapping and moving to his left. He drifted toward it, allowing Sarah to guide his steps. The sound moved forward, between his eyes now as the noise of it came more into focus. It wasn’t tinny, wasn’t machine-like despite the ticking and tapping of it. He felt his feet hit the stairs, and cautiously started up them.

“What are you hearing?” Sarah whispered, resting her other hand on David’s back.

“It’s fluid,” he murmured, “as much as a music box can be, anyway. Guessing it’s because of the spirit’s post-life being attached- or… combined with it.”

“I’d rather fight a ghost than a box, so let’s not hope ‘combined’,” Anthony muttered behind him. Jack stifled a laugh, before letting out another one. David heard the railing’s wood creak, maybe a hand tightening around it.

“Wasn’t that funny, Jack,” Anthony said. “Now you’re just patronizing me.”

“I know, you’re not that-” Another giggle broke it off, what sounded like a hand slapping over Jack’s mouth as they made it to the top of the stairs. The fluid sound grew louder in David’s ears. Melodic, bright, and pretty, a swirling tune that tried to make David smile.

His eyes flew open with a small gasp, squeezing Sarah’s hand.

“Something’s wrong,” he murmured. “The spirit sounds too strong, we have to find that box- we have to find out if the buyer’s still- …alive.”

His gaze had landed on Jack, hunched over the banisher with his shoulders shaking as his brothers tried to get him to look at them.

“Jack,” Sarah hissed, “what do you feel?”

“Come on,” Charlie encouraged, rubbing Jack’s back. “Jackie, you’re okay, come on.”

“It’s- kind of…” Jack started, falling into a strained batch of giggles again. He lifted his head, fingers pressed to his temples and pained look on his face while a smile resided on his lips. He shook his head, laughing again. “Very.. happy. It’s happy, that kinda bubbly ecstatic feeling? You should…” 

Jack grinned, lopsided and loose, and David stepped back. They had to get him out of here.

“You should check- on the buyer,” he laughed, curling into himself. “You should- oh, man, you should–hahaha–check on the buyer…” 

“Fuck. Fuck,” Sarah breathed, hand on her sword. “Charlie, stay with Jack. You two, with me.”

David nodded, glancing at Anthony before casting his gaze at Jack once again. The boy couldn’t hold it in anymore, wheezing with delirious laughter as Charlie leaned against the bannister with his iron cane at the ready. David tore his eyes away, running after Sarah.

The noise, the music was present in David’s ears now without him even trying to concentrate, loud and repeating and quite beautiful. He gripped his forehead between his index finger and thumb, trying to silence it while he drew his pistol. Sarah kicked open the bedroom door, and the pretty music faded away from him. 

“Oh, shit,” Anthony sighed out, crossing over to the bed. A body laid there, with skin chilled and lips blued and eyes grayed. “Well, there’s our buyer. How’d Jack know by a feeling?”

“And why would a ghost in a music box be happy to kill?” Sarah frowned. “Spirits don’t often know they’re killing others, that’s…”

And then noise as a whole left completely, David’s eyes falling on an object on the dresser as the world fell into static silence. It was ornate, rectangular, with run-down gold moldings on its edges and glossed rose along its top and sides. He stepped towards it, wanting to investigate the rest of it. Look at it, look into it. Wanting to open it, wanting to hear it again, so pretty and soft...

“-avid!”

He winced at the surge of live sounds- walls creaking, Sarah’s voice, her feet on the carpet, the clink of Anthony’s pistols in their holsters. Something was in his hands, rectangular, and he could hear Jack’s laughter shriek in amusement from down the hall.

“Don’t open it,” she was saying, her eyes wide. Anthony was still by the bed, hands by his hips, fingers spread. “David. Don’t. Just give it to me.”

David’s gaze dropped to what was in his hands, the pretty music box occupying his vision again. All he had to do was tug his finger towards himself, and he’d hear the song again. That was all he had to do. 

“No,” he said suddenly, though his grip tightened on it.

“No?” Anthony scoffed, shifting on his feet a bit- a more active stance. “For the know-it-all, you sure are stupid. Drop it, Jacobs. Now.”

“All we have to do is get it in the iron sack,” Sarah said softly, shooting Anthony a look. “David, just let go, and I’ll put it in. Don’t listen to whatever you’re hearing–”

“I’m not hearing anything,” he interjected. “I can’t hear it, it’s in my head, Saz, so if I just- if I open it then it could counter it–”

“No way,” Anthony said, shaking his head. “It’s like Charlie said. The more of us there are the easier we wind up dead, so don’t try shit to make that true.”

“But what if- if it could counter what Jack’s going through too?” David tried. “He’s sick with it, it’s contained in him right now, right? If we open it, we can release it.”

“You don’t know what you’re saying right now,” Sarah said, her voice the material of her weapon. David watched her hands take hold of the box in his grasp. “You’re not in your right mind, Ach. Let go.”

“Once it’s open, we can put it in the bag,” David scoffed. “That’ll make sure the spirit stays trapped and Jack and I will be fixed-”

She tugged it, like they were seven years old again, and David tugged it back.

“Jesus christ,” Anthony muttered. Swiftly, he pulled out a pistol, David glancing up to see the circular, hollow barrel of it.

“You’re insane,” David scoffed. 

“That’d be you,” Anthony sneered. “Drop it.”

“Fine.”

David raised his hands over his head, and the box went flying behind him. 

Sarah shoved him aside, Anthony raced around the bed, and David watched as it hit the ground.

A bright, tinkling sound filled the room as Anthony drew both his guns and Sarah raised her sword, both stepping back as a flickering shape rose into the air. David’s brain felt noisy, but… grounded. Clearer, feeling a bit sick though present. 

“She’s in a fuckin’ tutu,” Anthony sputtered out, eyes wide. David didn’t have the clearest sight when it came to spirits’ physical forms, only a flicking outline. “She’s a dancer, and… she’s smiling.”

And Jack’s laughing hadn’t stopped.

Russia updated the Tu-95 bomber with additional weapon poles

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 11/07/2023 - 17:00in Military

With a main focus on increasing combat capacity, Russia modernized its Tu-95 bombers with new weapon poles doubling the missile capacity of the MSM version.

The current Tu-95 strategic bombers can carry four Kh-101 or Kh-102 cruise missiles. The modernization will increase the bomber's ability to carry more weapons, adding a new model of weapon poles. With the update implemented, the bomber, now designated Tu-95MSM, will be able to carry two additional missiles under each wing, making eight in total.

With this external load capacity, the Tu-95MSM bomber will be even more efficient in its combat missions. The aircraft can directly fire eight Kh-101/Kh-102 cruise missiles at a time, armed with conventional and nuclear warheads.

The Tu-95MSM has four Kuznetsov NK-12 engines, each developing 15,000 hp. This engine allows the aircraft to reach a maximum speed of up to 920 km/hour and a cruising speed of 750 km/hour. The aircraft's payload capacity is estimated at about 20,000 kg, stored in the internal weapons room and suspended under its wings in the form of conventional/nuclear bombs or conventional/nuclear cruise missiles.

The Kh-101 cruise missile, developed in Russia, is a long-range projectile with a trajectory of up to 5,000 kilometers. The missile is powered by a turbofan engine, which allows you to fly at subsonic speeds and has an inertial navigation system and satellite orientation to hit your target. This distance allows you to hit targets outside Russian territory with high precision.

Seasonal ARIMA Modeling in EViews: Complete Assignment Help Tutorial

Seasonality in time series analysis can be defined as recurring patterns and trends in the data over a specific time intervals (such as weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly). Seasonality plays an important role in forecasting and interpreting the model results. Seasonality factors are taken into account in analyzing sales, stock price data or weather patterns. These patterns, if overlooked, may result into incorrect forecasting and wrongful decisions. For example, a retail store might see a spike in the sales on holiday season. If the seasonality is not taken into account, then the sale forecasting may generate inaccurate results. This is the reason accounting for seasonality becomes important in accurate time series modeling.

To address seasonality, we have the Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) Model available which takes into consideration the seasonal and non-seasonal factors. However, to conduct SARIMA in statistical software like EViews can be challenging and students may make a lot of mistakes that minimizes the accuracy of the forecasting model. This guide will provide a step-by-step tutorial of how to conduct SARIMA modelling using EViews as well as provide examples and recommendations to improve your analysis and forecasting. Further, students can use our EViews assignment help for the reinforcement of the above concept.

What is Seasonal ARIMA Modeling?

The Seasonal ARIMA (SARIMA) model is an extension of the ARIMA model that takes both non-seasonal and seasonal factors into account. While ARIMA models enables capturing trends and autocorrelation in data, SARIMA models also add the seasonality for prediction.

General Form of a SARIMA Model

A SARIMA model is typically expressed as:

SARIMA (p,d,q)×(P,D,Q)s​

Where:

p: Order of non-seasonal autoregression (AR)

d: Degree of non-seasonal differencing (I)

q: Order of non-seasonal moving average (MA)

P: Order of seasonal autoregression (SAR)

D: Degree of seasonal differencing (SI)

Q: Order of seasonal moving average (SMA)

s: Seasonal period (e.g., s = 12 for monthly data with an annual seasonality)

SARIMA models are appropriate for data that shows trend and seasonal pattern, like monthly sales data or quarterly GDP data, which reoccur every year.

Steps for SARIMA Modeling in EViews

Step 1: Plot the Data and Identify Seasonality

The first step in any time series analysis is data visualization in order to inspect for trends and seasonality. Using EViews the data is loaded and the “Graph” function is utilized.

Example: Let us assume that the type of data you are working with is monthly sales. Once you have your data imported into EViews, it is time to generate the plot of the data. In its simplest form, seasonality will be seen if there exists a cycle that recurs after a span of 12 months.

Step 2: Difference the Data to Remove Trends and Seasonality

Before you apply SARIMA, data must be transformed to make it stationary by eliminating the trends and seasonality. In EViews this is done by applying the “Differences” option available in the tool bar.

Non-seasonal differencing (d): If your data shows an upward or downward movement, apply differencing to remove it.

Seasonal differencing (D): If your data has a regular seasonal pattern, apply seasonal differencing (e.g., seasonal difference of order 1 for monthly data would subtract the data from 12 months ago).

In EViews, the differenced series can be created by "Genr" command and indicating the orders of seasonal and non-seasonal difference.

Step 3: Identify Model Orders Using ACF and PACF

To identify the appropriate values for p, d, q, P, D, Q, the autocorrelation function (ACF) and partial autocorrelation function (PACF) plots in EViews can be used.

ACF: Helps identify the moving average (MA) and seasonal moving average (SMA) terms.

PACF: Helps identify the autoregressive (AR) and seasonal autoregressive (SAR) terms.

Generate the ACF and PACF plots by selecting View > Correlogram in EViews. Examine these plots to find the lags that are significant for each component.

Step 4: Estimate the SARIMA Model

Once the model orders have been identified, the next step is to estimate the SARIMA model. In EViews, go to Quick > Estimate Equation and specify your model in the following form:

y c ar(1) ma(1) sar(12) sma(12)

In this example:

ar(1) refers to the non-seasonal AR term.

ma(1) refers to the non-seasonal MA term.

sar(12) refers to the seasonal AR term with a lag of 12 periods.

sma(12) refers to the seasonal MA term with a lag of 12 periods.

EViews will the perform the estimation and display the coefficient estimates, standard errors and a number of other diagnostic statistics.

Step 5: Perform Diagnostic Checks

It is imperative that after estimating the model, diagnostic checks are done to check the goodness of the model fit. In EViews, this involves checking:

Residual Autocorrelation: Use the Ljung-Box Q-statistic to ensure the residuals are white noise (i.e., no autocorrelation).

Stationarity: Check for stationarity of data by analyzing the ACF of residuals.

Model Fit: use metrics like the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) or Schwarz Bayesian Criterion (SBC) to compare model performance.

Step 6: Forecasting Using the SARIMA Model

When the model has been well-established, one can then predict future values. To do this in the EViews, choose the Forecast and define the period over which the forecast must be made. Any forecast that is generated using EViews will be accompanied with confidence intervals, which can also be plotted and exported.

Common Mistakes Students Make in Seasonality Analysis Using EViews

Some of the challenges that students experience when it comes to analysing seasonality and building the SARIMA models in EViews include the following. Some common mistakes include:

Failing to Test for Seasonality: One thing that many students fail to consider is to check for seasonality in their data. This leads to the cases of developing inaccurate forecasts.

Overfitting the Model: Some students often include many parameters in the SARIMA model in a bid to capture all the minor fluctuations in the data sets which leads to over-fitting. This makes the model too specific with the historical data and minimizes predictability.

Incorrect Identification of SARIMA Components: Differentiating seasonal and non-seasonal components is significant. Students tend to misconceive these factors and this leads to a wrong specification of the model.

Poor Diagnostic Testing: Upon their estimation of the model, students may also ignore other diagnostic checks such as residual analysis for a better model fit. Not checking the residuals for autocorrelation for instance means students are neglecting the chance to fine tune the model to increase precision.

Misunderstanding EViews Output: Eviews computes and displays loads of statistical information. Without deep understanding of these results students may come up with incorrect insights. For example, failing to interpret the results from p-values of coefficients or misunderstanding the Ljung-Box Q-statistic can lead to wrong conclusions.

Surgical Masks Market: Post-COVID Prospects

Short-term demand for surgical masks remains unprecedented; however, growing awareness regarding their effectiveness will lead to steady sales in the long term. Our study estimates the global surgical masks market to surge at a CAGR of 10.2% during the forecast period 2022-2028. This growth is fueled by the growing awareness of healthcare-associated infections (HAI) and a rise in healthcare expenditure.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), hundreds of millions of individuals are impacted by healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) annually, resulting in death and financial losses for healthcare systems. Furthermore, factors such as an aging population, the prevalence of chronic and long-term diseases, and increased investments in medical technology & advanced infrastructure will increase healthcare spending globally.

Why is Asia-Pacific a Promising Region in the Surgical Mask Market?

Asia-Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest-growing region in the surgical masks market. The increasing elderly population and growing healthcare infrastructure are likely to boost the demand for healthcare services. Improving hygiene and safety standards leads to increased use of surgical masks, thereby positively impacting the studied market.

Fluid/splash resistant surgical masks leads the product segment in 2021. The growth is associated with the ability of the Splash Resistant technology, which prevents the wearer from droplet infections during any surgical procedure or management of any patients prone to the transmission of the diseases.

On the other hand, India holds a significant prominence in the Asia-Pacific market. The healthcare business in the country is anticipated to expand greatly due to the growing population, increased disposable incomes, improved access to insurance, heightened health awareness, and rising spending by public and private industry participants. In addition, the growing incidence of obesity has led to an increase in chronic ailments, such as heart disease and diabetes, which necessitate various healthcare treatments and services. This is expected to contribute to the expansion of the market for surgical masks.

However, strict government regulations, coupled with the emerging use of substitutes such as N95 masks, are anticipated to hinder the growth of the surgical masks market.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a dearth of personal protective equipment, such as surgical masks. This forced the medical staff members performing front-line activities to adopt additional face protection measures, including non-medical masks, simple cloth masks, N95/N99/FFP2/FFP3 respirators, power air-purifying respirators, and face shields/visors, etc.

Technological Integration: The Way Forward

New technology by Ascend Performance Materials is used to manufacture high-efficacy surgical masks to protect against SARS-CoV-2. This technology has shown positive results for deactivating SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogens such as staphylococcus, betacoronavirus OC43, and H1N1. However, it is still awaiting patent and FDA approval. The masks manufactured using this technology combine antiviral protection and superior physical properties meeting the requirements to qualify as Level III under ASTM F2100-19 standards.

In July 2020, Ascend Performance Materials announced the submission of a 510(k) premarket notification to the US FDA for clearance of its surgical mask that uses Acteev technology to offer protection against SARS-CoV-2. Thus, improvements in the manufacturing of reusable non-woven materials, such as antimicrobial fibers and increased comfort, will propel the expansion of the surgical masks market during the forecast period.
