| Abstract: | " Objective - Batik, recognized as a world cultural heritage, boasts a rich history and unique artistic charm, with distinctive styles and cultural connotations in China, Malaysia, and other regions. However, with digitization and globalization, batik faces challenges related to cultural heritage preservation, market circulation, artistic innovation, and digital transformation. Methodology/Technique - This study employs a mixed research method, combining qualitative methods such as field investigation, literature research, case study, and comparative study, with quantitative methods, including graphic extraction, color capture, morphological recognition, and spatial distribution analysis. Findings - The comprehensive comparative study focuses on batik patterns in Guizhou, China, and Malaysia, utilizing digital techniques to delve into their intricacies and features. The innovation of this research lies in the organic integration of qualitative and quantitative methods, transcending the boundaries of disciplines such as art, anthropology, graphics, and computer science. This approach allows for a holistic understanding of the micro-elements within batik patterns. The study expands our knowledge of the cultural genes of batik and achieves breakthroughs in digital research. Novelty - It provides methodological and theoretical innovations for cultural research in the digital age, ensuring batik's continued prosperity and inheritance as a cultural heritage in contemporary society. Type of Paper - Review" |

| Abstract: | We seek to gain more insight into the effect of the crowds on the Home Advantage by analyzing the particular case of Argentinean football (also known as soccer), where for more than ten years, the visiting team fans were not allowed to attend the games. Additionally, during the COVID-19 lockdown, a significant number of games were played without both away and home team fans. The analysis of more than 20 years of matches of the Argentinean tournament indicates that the absence of the away team crowds was beneficial for the Top 5 teams during the first two years after their attendance was forbidden. An additional intriguing finding is that the lack of both crowds affects significantly all the teams, to the point of turning the home advantage into home ‘disadvantage’ for most of the teams. |

| Abstract: | This paper presents a new framework for player valuation in European football by fusing principles from financial mathematics and network theory. The valuation model leverages a "passing matrix" to encapsulate player interactions on the field, utilizing centrality measures to quantify individual influence. Unlike traditional approaches, this model is both metric-driven and cohort-free, providing a dynamic and individualized framework for ascertaining a player's fair market value. The methodology is empirically validated through a case study in European football, employing real-world match and financial data. The paper advances the disciplines of sports analytics and financial mathematics by offering a cross-disciplinary mechanism for player valuation, and also links together two well-known econometric methods in marginal revenue product and expected present valuation. |
