Effect of ADC to respiratory sound classification by Lau, Benson Yong Zhi

“…Different ADC resolution, 4-bit, 8-bit, and 16-bit will be used to generate the features for classification on the trained model. From the findings obtained by the project, the author observed that both 8-bit and 16-bit resolution deviates closely similar while 4-bit resolution deviates very differently as compared to the other 2 resolution.…”

Implicit beliefs, cognitive flexibility and creativity : a correlational study comparing Normal-Technical and express stream students by Chui, Yingqi

“…Creativity was also investigated in relation to cognitive flexibility. 71 Secondary Two students – 40 NT stream students and 31 Express stream students - participated in a battery of tests to measure their implicit theories of intelligence, of non-academic abilities and of creativity, as well as reactive flexibility, spontaneous flexibility and creativity. Findings indicated some associations between the implicit theories and cognitive flexibility for the NT sample but not Express sample, supporting the abolishment of the streaming system. …”

Factors influencing junior managers' poor decisions in new market entry by Adela, Josephine, Chen, Lionel Yingren, Yeo, Marianna Xue Na

“…We found that firms that have made the wrong decision to enter a new market (hence resulting in poor financial performance) tend to have: • Entered the market hastily without a track record of success in prior markets; • Entered the market due to competitive pressure; • Justified their market entry decisions mostly based on competitive reasons; • Sunk in substantial R&Ds expenditures without commensurate marketing expenditures when launching new products in the new market. This study’s findings offer insights into the phenomenon of poor decision making. …”

“This Will Blow Your Mind”: examining the urge to click clickbaits by Chua, Alton Yeow Kuan, Pal, Anjan, Banerjee, Snehasish

“…Design/methodology/approach: The hypotheses in the proposed framework were tested using a between-participants experimental design (N = 204) that manipulated information richness (text-only vs. thumbnail clickbaits). Findings: Curiosity, perceived enjoyment and surveillance were significant predictors of the urge to click. …”

“It’s complicated” : cognitive dissonance and the evolving relationship between editorial and advertising in US newsrooms by Duffy, Andrew, Cheng, Lydia

“…This study assesses what happens when senior editors encounter cognitive dissonance as they reconstruct the editorial-commercial relationship. It finds reluctance to embrace this evolving relationship, revealed in the fragmented and contradictory syntax editors use to talk about it as they are torn between the old (ethically driven) norm of how things should be, and the emerging (economically driven) norm of how things are. …”

The role of selective exposure in preserving decision diversity and group performance by Peh, Jia Wang

“…A series of numerical experiments reveal that (1) social influence decreases the diversity of decisions and thereby reduces group performance, and (2) selective exposure mitigates the negative effects of social influence on decision diversity and group performance. These findings account for the high group performances in real-world contexts despite social influence and highlight the usefulness of selective exposure amidst negative portrayals in extant literature. …”
