In this episode of Supply Chain Now, host Scott Luton and special guest co-host Maria Villablanca welcome Dr. Dinesh Davè, Professor & Director of Supply Chain Management at Appalachian State University, and Evan Junker, Chief Growth Officer at SPARQ360, to unpack insights from the 2025 Supply Chain Trends and Attitudes Report. The annual study, conducted by Appalachian State and SPARQ360, surveys hundreds of supply chain managers across the U.S. to reveal where leaders are investing, from AI and visibility platforms to sustainability and risk management.Together, the panel discusses how familiarity and adoption of AI are rising, why the “ambition-action gap” still challenges sustainability progress, and what's driving executives to balance cost efficiency, resilience, and environmental responsibility. They also explore how partnerships, collaboration, and customer-centered priorities are emerging as the new competitive advantage. Packed with practical insights and forward-looking data, this conversation offers a clear snapshot of where supply chain strategy is heading in 2025 and beyond.Jump into the conversation:(00:00) Intro(01:08) Survey overview and key findings(02:47) Fun warmup: favorite food and drink spots(05:52) Appalachian State University supply chain program(07:37) SPARQ360 and its role in the supply chain(13:30) AI in supply chain: priorities and challenges(19:03) Broader technology investments and priorities(24:21) Data transformation and security(24:37) Sustainability initiatives and drivers(26:09) Political and regulatory impacts(26:52) Statistical analysis and findings(27:48) The ambition-action gap(28:38) Technology's role in sustainability(29:01) Tariffs and geopolitical shifts(33:16) Survey surprises and observations(42:00) Future directions and international expansion(43:10) Connecting with the panelResources:Connect with Dr. Dinesh Davè: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-dinesh-dave-a85b6713/ Learn more about Appalachian State University: https://www.appstate.edu/academics/majors/id/supply-chain-management Connect with Evan Junker: www.linkedin.com/in/evanjunker Learn more about SPARQ360: https://luna-resume.com/Connect with Maria Villablanca: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariavillablanca/Explore Maria's website: https://www.mariavillablanca.com/ Learn more about Transform Talks: https://futureinsights.org/transform-talks/ Read the 2025 Supply Chain Trends and Attitudes Report: https://sparq360.com/trendsandattitudes/ Connect with Scott Luton:

rWotD Episode 3109: 2024 Venezuelan presidential election protests Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Friday, 7 November 2025, is 2024 Venezuelan presidential election protests.Protests followed the 2024 Venezuelan presidential election on 28 July, in response to voter fraud and other irregularities during the election cycle, as part of the 2024 Venezuelan political crisis. The election and unrest occurred in the context of the ongoing crisis in Venezuela.Statistical analyses by multiple organizations indicated that the election was won convincingly by Edmundo Gonzalez but those results have not been recognized by incumbent Nicolás Maduro; the Democratic Unitary Platform (PUD), an alliance of opposition parties, released vote tallies at the precinct level indicating that González won by a wide margin, while the government-controlled National Electoral Council (CNE) announced an unsubstantiated result, without any precinct-level tallies, stating Maduro won. Both candidates claimed victory, while many countries recognized González as the winner.Demonstrations to uphold the results of the election, along with vigils for political prisoners, occurred worldwide after the July election. Spontaneous protests broke out immediately after the election, while later rallies were organized by the Venezuelan opposition; Maduro claimed the opposition was encouraging a coup and has charged demonstraters with terrorism, while initiating an unprecedented crackdown. Maduro's security forces have gone door-to-door seeking to arrest protesters, poll workers and members of the opposition in what Maduro has referred to as Operation Tun Tun, and armed bands of Maduro supporters known as colectivos have joined security forces in repressing dissent. As of 14 August 2024, at least 2,200 persons are reported to have been arrested, and 25 killed; Maduro has announced plans to continue to seek the arrest of dissenters, and to rehabilitate two prisons to house those detained.The repression has been widely condemned by international groups; Amnesty International penned an open letter requesting urgent action from the International Criminal Court (ICC), on the basis of an ongoing ICC investigation of possible crimes against humanity under Maduro's regime.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:02 UTC on Friday, 7 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see 2024 Venezuelan presidential election protests on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Aditi.

This episode: Dr. Stephen Bruehl joins All Things Unexplained for an exploration of:* The science of UAP* UAP patterns* Statistical signatures of UAP* Inside the POSS-I paper with Beatriz Villarroel* The UAP-nuclear connection* Optical transientsStephen Bruehl, Ph.D., is a medical researcher whose background in science and statistics has recently led him into groundbreaking collaborations in the UAP field. Though fascinated by UAPs since childhood in the 1970s, Bruehl only formally entered the field in 2024, attending the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU) conference. There, a presentation by Dr. Beatriz Villarroel sparked a research idea involving optical transients and historical UAP sightings. That idea led to a year-long collaboration and the recent release of their peer-reviewed paper: Some Transients in the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS-I) May Be Associated with Above-Ground Nuclear Testing and Reports of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena.Bruehl has also collaborated with Robert Powell and Sarah Little of SCU, applying cluster analysis to 216 carefully vetted UAP reports—research just accepted in a special UAP issue of World Futures. In this episode, Bruehl joins All Things Unexplained to discuss how traditional scientific tools—statistics, data modeling, and research methods—can bring new clarity to an old mystery.Watch the full video with Dr. Bruehl: https://youtube.com/live/ex0Kbhm61sU Subscribe to All Things Unexplained on YouTube: @allthingsunexplained Links:     Cluster Analysis of Features Associated with Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Described in 216 Select Reports from 1947-2016 (Bruehl, Little, Powell): https://www.explorescu.org/post/cluster-analysis-of-features-associated-with-unidentified-anomalous-phenomena-described-in-216-selec      Transients in the Palomar Observatory SkySurvey (POSS-I) May Be Associated with Nuclear Testing and Reports of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (Bruehl, Villarroel): https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-21620-3      YouTube: https://youtube.com/@allthingsunexplained      Shop: https://all-things-unexplained-shop.fourthwall.com      Website/support: https://allthingsunexplained.com      Video podcast playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUBNCmjIGgJjFeGxSZgrtDeW_TjIV4XHp        Dr. Mounce in Beast Games Ep. 0: https://youtu.be/gs8qfL9PNac?si=whD290YawP8WBSTH      Guest list: https://allthingsunexplained.transistor.fm/people      New to streaming or looking to level up?

In this lecture, we review statistical fundamentals – such as the origins of the t-test, the meaning of type-I and type-II error (and alternative terminology for both, such as false positive rate and false negative rate) and the connection to statistical power (sensitivity). We review the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve and give a qualitative description of where it gets its shape in a hypothesis test. We close with a validation example (from Lecture H) where we use a power analysis on a one-sample t-test to help justify whether we have gathered enough data to trust that a simulation model is a good match for reality when it has a similar mean output performance to the real system. Peppered throughout the lecture are also comments about why normality is required for t-tests, why there is a minimum expected count for chi-squared tests, and how to avoid statistical inference issues when making multiple comparisons.

Robert McNamara: From WWII Statistical Control to Kennedy's Star.

McNamara's Path to Power: Statistical Control at Harvard Following Pearl Harbor William Taubman, Amherst College, with John Batchelor The discussion with Professor William Taubman focuses on Robert McNamara, a brilliant student his whole life who was famously known for his roles as Defense Secretary and World Bank leader, and later for apologizing for Vietnam War mistakes. The conversation traces the moment McNamara moved from being a young professor at Harvard Business School to making decisions for the U.S. Air Force. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, McNamara, wanting very much to participate in the war, rushed to discuss the conflict with his neighbors. The war came to him when Tex Thornton, who was at the Pentagon, arrived from Washington to establish a school at Harvard where officers would learn statistical control. McNamara was one of the first Harvard instructors to agree to teach the new curriculum. Thornton quickly realized that McNamara was the "pick of the litter at Harvard" and the ideal person to fit his mission of attracting brilliant Harvard professors to teach statistical control to American officers, thus beginning McNamara's influential career.

Statistics are everywhere: in news reports, at the doctor's office, and in every sort of forecast, from the stock market to the weather. Blogger, teacher, and computer scientist Allen B. Downey knows well that people have an innate ability both to understand statistics and to be fooled by them. As he makes clear in this accessible introduction to statistical thinking, the stakes are big. Simple misunderstandings have led to incorrect medical prognoses, underestimated the likelihood of large earthquakes, hindered social justice efforts, and resulted in dubious policy decisions. There are right and wrong ways to look at numbers, and Downey will help you see which are which. Probably Overthinking It: How to Use Data to Answer Questions, Avoid Statistical Traps, and Make Better Decisions (University of Chicago Press, 2023) uses real data to delve into real examples with real consequences, drawing on cases from health campaigns, political movements, chess rankings, and more. He lays out common pitfalls--like the base rate fallacy, length-biased sampling, and Simpson's paradox--and shines a light on what we learn when we interpret data correctly, and what goes wrong when we don't. Using data visualizations instead of equations, he builds understanding from the basics to help you recognize errors, whether in your own thinking or in media reports. Even if you have never studied statistics--or if you have and forgot everything you learned--this book will offer new insight into the methods and measurements that help us understand the world. Allen B. Downey is a curriculum designer at the online learning company Brilliant and professor emeritus of computer science at Olin College. Gregory McNiff is a Managing Director in the New York office of the Blueshirt Group, an IR firm focused on technology. Greg holds an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, an M.

DNA evidence has become a powerful tool in modern criminal investigations, often playing a crucial role in identifying and convicting criminals. Here is a summary of how DNA evidence is used in the process:Crime scene collection: When a crime occurs, investigators collect biological material such as blood, hair, saliva, or other bodily fluids from the crime scene. These samples may be found on weapons, clothing, or other objects relevant to the crime.Preservation and analysis: Collected samples are carefully preserved to maintain their integrity and prevent contamination. Forensic scientists extract DNA from the biological material and analyze it in a laboratory. The DNA is compared to the DNA profiles of known individuals, such as suspects or individuals connected to the case.DNA profiling: The extracted DNA is subjected to a process called DNA profiling, which examines specific regions of the DNA sequence that vary between individuals. This profiling creates a unique DNA profile, often referred to as a DNA fingerprint, which can differentiate one person from another with a high degree of accuracy.Database searches: DNA profiles obtained from crime scene evidence can be compared against DNA databases that store profiles of convicted criminals, arrestees, and unidentified individuals. If a match is found between the crime scene DNA and a profile in the database, it can provide a lead in identifying a suspect.Individual identification: If there is no immediate match in the DNA databases, investigators may collect DNA samples from potential suspects or individuals connected to the case, such as victims or witnesses. By comparing their DNA profiles to the crime scene DNA, investigators can exclude innocent individuals and focus on potential suspects.Statistical analysis: Forensic scientists and statisticians use probability calculations to evaluate the significance of a DNA match. These calculations estimate the likelihood of finding the observed DNA profile in the general population, aiding in assessing the strength of the evidence.Courtroom presentation: When DNA evidence is introduced in court, forensic experts testify about the reliability and significance of the findings. They explain the methodology used, the statistical analysis performed, and the match between the crime scene DNA and the defendant's DNA profile, if applicable.Corroboration with other evidence: DNA evidence is often used in conjunction with other types of evidence, such as eyewitness testimony, fingerprints, or surveillance footage. Corroborating evidence strengthens the overall case and supports the prosecution's argument for the defendant's guilt.It's important to note that while DNA evidence is highly reliable, human error or mishandling of samples can introduce inaccuracies. Therefore, proper collection, preservation, analysis, and interpretation of DNA evidence are crucial to ensure its effectiveness in convicting criminals.According to new court filings, Bryan Kohberger's defense team is challenging the validity of the DNA samples that have been taken and used to connect Kohberger to the crime scene. In this episode, we take a look at the new claims by Kohberger's team and if there is any validity to them.(commercial at 10:41)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bryan Kohberger Lawyer Says No Victim DNA Found in Suspect's Home or Car (newsweek.com)
