... There has been growing interest in adopting advanced data science and artificial intelligence techniques to gain deeper insights into golf performance [9]. These data can be leveraged using sophisticated statistical and machine learning models to uncover patterns and make data-driven decisions [10,11]. One key area of focus has been the use of sensorbased technologies and wearable devices to capture real-time data on a golfer's movements, club dynamics, and shot trajectories [12]. ...

... Hypothesis Test According to Canela et al. (2019), hypothesis testing is an analysis made to explain the variance in the dependent variable. The t statistic test is then used in this research to test a hypothesis on a single mean of the sample drawn from the population. ...

... Holt ( Cette méthode est particulièrement utile pour modéliser des données avec des tendances non linéaires et des motifs saisonniers complexes [CAI19] et permet d'obtenir des prévisions plus précises à plus long terme que les méthodes de lissage exponentiel simple et double. L'apport et la valeur ajoutée de la méthode de lissage exponentiel triple sont donc de fournir des prévisions plus précises pour les séries temporelles avec des tendances non linéaires et des motifs saisonniers complexes. ...

... A rotina das pessoas vem sendo impactada irreversivelmente pela expansão da conectividade propiciada pelo avanço da presença da internet no cotidiano dos indivíduos, favorecendo a interatividade e, sobretudo, as iniciativas de apoio a ideias, conceitos, produtos e, nesse sentido, negócios (Castells, 1999). Em meio às mudanças percebidas, as startups surgiram apresentando uma dinâmica diferenciada dos padrões organizacionais anteriormente praticados, destacando-se o modelo de liderança compartilhada, embora diferentes condicionantes têm sido elencados como potenciais influenciadores ou drivers para o sucesso de crowdfundings (Janků & Kučerová, 2018;Moleskis et al., 2019;Wang et al., 2020). ...

... Over the past fifteen years, scholars have started paying attention to crowdfunding in Africa; an online crowd participatory financing that has been in practice in the developed world for way back, but new to the African continent in its online form. Although more entrepreneurial ventures are using the power of the crowd to get financed (N'Guessan et al., 2017), the use of crowdfunding as an alternative method of raising fund by SMEs in Africa is still at its nascent stage as it only represents less than 0.1% of the total worldwide crowdfunding market (Olafusi et al., 2022). Furthermore, while many platforms are presently active, non-African-based platforms are able to collect more funds for projects in Africa (N'Guessan et al., 2017). ...

... Upon receiving the funds, Kiva aggregates the capital and transfers it to the appropriate partner, who then passes it on to the entrepreneur. Though partners charge entrepreneurs an interest rate to support their ongoing operations, Kiva itself does not collect any interest on the loans it facilitates; most importantly, Kiva's investors do not earn interest on the loans they provide (Moleskis and Canela, 2016). ...

... For instance, salespeople with higher moral identity are less likely to engage in customer-directed sabotage in response to lower levels of customer justice, as they intrinsically follow the mantra "treat the customer as you would want to be treated" (Skarlick et al. 2016, p. 111). With regards to coworkers, research shows that an ethical and moral work environment leads to the formation of internal social capital, where team members sincerely work together and share a mutual commitment towards organizational goals (Pastoriza et al. 2015). ...

... This makes angiosperms a powerful model system for studying the underlying drivers that shape genome size evolution and its distribution across the globe. The recent increase in the use of flow cytometry in botanical studies has led to a substantial accumulation of standardized genome size data across wide phylogenetic and geographic scales (Garcia et al., 2014;Leitch et al., 2019;Šmarda et al., 2019;Zonneveld, 2019). Given that consistent geographic data have recently become available for most known species through the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP; Govaerts et al., 2021), it is now possible to examine hypotheses seeking to understand the causal links between angiosperm genome size, distribution, and environment at a global scale. ...

... The Asteraceae family also records a higher number of useful medicinal plants which were already manifested in Nepal (Kunwar et al., 2018). The other reason for the highest number of species from the Asteraceae might be due to the largest plant family comprising 1600-1700 genera and 24,000-30,000 species worldwide (Funk et al., 2005;Vallès et al., 2013). Moreover, Asteraceae taxa can assume almost every life form: herbs, succulents, lianas, epiphytes, trees, or shrubs, and they are found in all continents, except Antarctica (Funk et al., 2005). ...
