Building collapses in Lagos metropolis have become worrisome to residents, developers, and Government. This study examined the incidences of collapsed buildings in Lagos metropolis over a thirty‐year period. Time series analysis was carried out to determine the past and predict direction of the future occurrences. In addition, a process of inference from reports on investigations of past occurrences was adopted to establish causes of building collapses in the study area. Spatial analysis of the collapses showed high concentration in swampy terrain that was reclaimed in the past. The study recommends, amongst other things, comprehensive investigation of the geophysical characteristics of the affected locations towards finding lasting solution to the menace. Santruka Lagose griūvantys pastatai kelia nerima gyventojams, vystytojams ir vyriausybei. Šiame tyrime nagrinejamas pastatu griuvumo dažnumas Lagose per trisdešimt metu. Atlikta laiko eilučiu analize, siekiant nustatyti buvusius atvejus ir numatyti būsimu atveju tendencijas. Be to, siekiant nustatyti, del kokiu priežasčiu tiriamoje teritorijoje griūva pastatai, buvo pasirinktas išvadu procesas, pagristas ankstesniu atveju tyrimo ataskaitomis. Erdvine griuvimu analize parode didele koncentracija pelketose vietovese, kurios anksčiau buvo melioruotos. Be kitu dalyku, tyrime rekomenduojama atlikti išsamu paveiktu vietoviu geofiziniu savybiu tyrima, siekiant rasti ilgalaiki sprendima, kaip išvengti šios gresmes.

BACKGROUND: Many work-related fatalities happen every year in electricity distribution companies. This study was conducted to model accidents using the time series analysis and survey descriptive factors of injuries in an electricity distribution company in Tehran, Iran. METHODS: Data related to 2010 to 2017 were collected from the database of the safety department. Time Series and trend analysis were used for data analyzing and anticipating the accidents up to 2022. RESULT: Most of the accidents occurred in summer. Workers’ negligence was the reason for 75%of deaths. Employment type and type of injuries had a significant relationship (p <  0.05). CONCLUSION: The anticipating model indicated occupational injuries are going to have an increase in the future. A high rate of accidents in summer maybe because of the warm weather or insufficient skills in temporary workers. Temporary workers have no chance to work in a year like permanent workers, therefore acquisition experiences may be less in them. Based on the estimating model, Management should pay attention to those sectors of the company where most of the risky activities take place. Also, training programs and using personal protective equipment can help to protect workers in hazardous conditions.

BACKGROUND Turin, a province in the Piedmont region sees second highest new COVID-19 infections in Northern part of Italy as of March 31, 2021. During the first wave of pandemic, many restrictive measures were introduced in this province. There are many studies that conducted time series analysis of various regions in Italy, but studies that are analysing the data in province level are limited. Also, no applications of Cross Correlation Function(CCF) have been proposed to analyse relationships between COVID-19 new cases and community mobility at the provincial level in Italy. OBJECTIVE The goal of this time series analysis is to find how the restrictive measures in Turin province, Italy impacted community mobility and helped in flattening the epidemic curve during the first wave of the pandemic. METHODS A simple time series analysis is conducted in this study to analyse whether there is an association between COVID-19 daily cases and community mobility. In this study, we analysed whether the time series of the parameter that estimates the reproduction of infection in the outbreak is related to the past lags of community mobility time series by performing cross-correlation analysis. RESULTS Multiple regression is carried out in which the R0 variable is a linear function of past lags 6, 7, 8, and 1 of the community mobility variable and all coefficients are statistically significant where P = 0.024043, 2.69e-05, 0.045350 and 0.000117 respectively. The cross-correlation between data fitted from the significant past lags of community mobility and transformed basic reproduction number (R0) time-series is obtained in such a manner that the R0 of a day is related to the past lags of community mobility in Turin province. CONCLUSIONS Our analysis shows that the restrictive measures are having an impact on community mobility during the first wave of COVID-19 and it can be related to the reported secondary cases of COVID-19 in Turin province at that time. Through further improvement, this simple model could serve as preliminary research for developing right preventive methods during the early stages of an epidemic.

Despite efforts in the past, the issue of whether tight money policy unfairly discriminates against small businesses remains an unsettled debate. More statistical investigation of the issue seems to offer the only answer to resolve the issue. This paper presents results from a statistical investigation of the financial conditions of small manufacturing corporations. The time-series analysis covering three cycles and one minor slump during '66–67 reveals that commercial banks did drastically reduce the volume of loans to small manufacturers during tight money periods when large corporations demanded more accommodation from banks.

Time series, i.e. data collected at various times. The data collection segments may differ de-pending on the task. Time series are used for decision making. Time series analysis allows you to get some result that will determine the format of the decision. Time series analysis was carried out in very ancient times, for example, various calendars became a consequence of the analysis. Later, time series analysis was applied to study and forecast economic, social and other systems. Time se-ries appeared a long time ago. Once upon a time, ancient Babylonian astronomers, studying the po-sition of the stars, discovered the frequency of eclipses, which allowed them to predict their appearance in the future. Later, the analysis of time series, in a similar way, led to the creation of various calen-dars, for example, harvest calendars. In the future, in addition to natural areas, social and economic ones were added. Aim. Search for classification patterns of time series, allowing to understand whether it is possible to apply the ARIMA model for their short-term (3 counts) forecast. Materials and methods. Special software with ARIMA implementation and all need services is made. We examined 59 data sets with a short length and step equal a year, less than 20 values in the paper. The data was processed using Python libraries: Statsmodels and Pandas. The Dickey – Fuller test was used to de-termine the stationarity of the series. The stationarity of the time series allows for better forecasting. The Akaike information criterion was used to select the best model. Recommendations for a rea-sonable selection of parameters for adjusting ARIMA models are obtained. The dependence of the settings on the category of annual data set is shown. Conclusion. After processing the data, four categories (patterns) of year data sets were identified. Depending on the category ranges of parame-ters were selected for tuning ARIMA models. The suggested ranges will allow to determine the starting parameters for exploring similar datasets. Recommendations for improving the quality of post-forecast and forecast using the ARIMA model by adjusting the settings are given.
