Abstract Poor sperm morphology decrease sow litter size and the economic profitability of breeding herds. Our previous results revealed elements in serum and seminal plasma, such as copper, iron, and lead affects abnormal sperm rate (ABR) in boars. In this study, sperm morphology and elements in serum and seminal plasma of 385 boars were analyzed using CASA and ICP-MS, respectively from June to August in 2016. Multivariate ordered logistic regression model, which includes variables of boar breed, age, serum and seminal plasma elements was used to identify the influence degree of elements on ABR. The degree of ABR was classified grade 0: < 10%, grade 1: 10–20%, and grade 2: > 20%. Results showed ABR was influenced by boar breed, serum Cu and Fe, and seminal Pb contents (P < 0.0001). Yorkshire boars (OR: 0.321; CI: 0.187 to 0.551) and Landrace boars (OR: 0.224; CI: 0.135 to 0.371) had lower ABR than Duroc boars. Boars with serum Cu ≤2.0 mg/L had lower ABR than those with serum Cu ≥2.5 mg/L (OR: 0.483; CI: 0.281 to 0.830). ABR of boars with serum Fe ≤ 1.0mg/L was greater than that of boars with serum Fe 1.5 mg/L (OR: 2.213; CI: 1.188 to 4.120). In addition, boars with seminal plasma Pb 0 μg/L had lower ABR than those with seminal Pb ≥ 10 μg/L (OR: 0.362; CI: 0.174 to 0.757). In conclusion, Duroc boars had more risk of ABR compared with Yorkshire and Landrace boars. The decrease of seminal plasma Pb and serum Cu, and increased of serum Fe content can decrease ABR in boars.

Control Risk

ABSTRACT External auditors and management increasingly rely on control risk assessments conducted by internal auditors. Consequently, it is crucial to ensure the quality of such assessments and identify irregular instances that deviate from the normal pattern of assessments. Moreover, processing and prioritizing a large number of outlying internal auditors' assessments can help their superiors as well as external auditors overcome the human limitations of dealing with information overload and direct their investigations toward the more suspicious cases, consequently improving overall audit efficiency. In this paper, we use historic data consisting of control risk assessments procured from the internal audit department of a multinational consumer products company. It is used to infer an ordered logistic regression model to provide a quality review of internal auditors' and business owners' assessments of internal controls. We identify anomalous cases where the assessment does not conform to the expected value and develop a methodology to prioritize these outliers. The results indicate that the proposed model can serve as a quality review tool, thus improving audit efficiency, as well as a learning tool that non-experts can employ to gain expert-like knowledge. Additionally, the proposed ranking metrics proved effective in helping the auditors focus their efforts on the more problematic audits.

Ordered Logistic Regression

The increasing awareness of climate change and human capital issues is shifting companies towards aspects other than traditional financial earnings. In particular, the changing behaviors towards sustainability issues of the global community and the availability of environmental, social and governance (ESG) indicators are attracting investors to socially responsible investment decisions. Furthermore, whereas the strategic importance of ESG metrics has been particularly studied for private enterprises, little attention have received public companies. To address this gap, the present work has three aims—1. To predict the accuracy of main financial indicators such as the expected Return of Equity (ROE) and Return of Assets (ROA) of public enterprises in Europe based on ESG indicators and other economic metrics; 2. To identify whether ESG initiatives affect the financial performance of public European enterprises; and 3. To discuss how ESG factors, based on the findings of aims #1 and #2, can contribute to the advancements of the current debate on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policies and practices in public enterprises in Europe. To fulfil the above aims, we use a combined approach of machine learning (ML) techniques and inferential (i.e., ordered logistic regression) model. The former predicts the accuracy of ROE and ROA on several ESG and other economic metrics and fulfils aim #1. The latter is used to test whether any causal relationships between ESG investment decisions and ROA and ROE exist and, whether these relationships exist, to assess their magnitude. The inferential analysis fulfils aim #2. Main findings suggest that ML accurately predicts ROA and ROE and indicate, through the ordered logistic regression model, the existence of a positive relationship between ESG practices and the financial indicators. In addition, the existing relationship appears more evident when companies invest in environmental innovation, employment productivity and diversity and equal opportunity policies. As a result, to fulfil aim #3 useful policy insights are advised on these issues to strengthen CSR strategies and sustainable development practices in European public enterprises.

Violent Offenses

The purpose was to examine gender differences (a) in the sentencing severity for parent-to-child violence (PCV); and (b) in severity of PCV patterns. We analyzed 99 verdict cases in Israel. Two models, a logistic regression model and a generalized ordered logistic regression model, were applied. The findings of the first model indicated that being a woman reduced the odds of imprisonment by .106; furthermore, being tried after implementation of the 2012 reform in judicial discretion in sentencing significantly increased the odds of sentence severity by 2.85. The second model indicated that women had lower odds of being involved in severe violent offenses against their minor children compared with men ( OR = 0.31). The findings highlight the source of sentencing differentials.
