DESIGNING A ROADMAP FRAMEWORK FOR HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS ADOPTION

Developing country healthcare industry have policies and procedure to regulate health information systems (HIS) both in private and public sector. The Healthcare institutions as part of the government with the help of Non-Governmental Organisation (NGOs) have implemented information systems (IS) within its different directorates to maximise the quality of care. However, HIS benefits may not be recognised by the healthcare organisation and stakeholders when systems implementation and adoption of policies and procedures are not backed up by roadmap to archive HIS goals. Thus, the need for healthcare roadmap to guide the development of HIS is important to the future development of a product. A roadmap development needs different stakeholders to participate. Therefore, this study, propose a roadmap that will provide guide for planning, selection, implementation, and adoption of HIS to produce quality healthcare services in Namibia. The study adopted a qualitative research method, because of its suitability to assist the research answer the research questions in order to meet the research objectives. Data was collected using three different techniques, semi-interviews, documents analysis and questionnaire. A questionnaire was used to collect data about the applicability, usability, and the importance of roadmapping. Then data collected was interpretively analysed. Based on the interpretations and the findings from the analysis of data, the healthcare industry roadmap was developed.
Comparative study on finance‐growth nexus in Malaysia and Indonesia: Role of institutional quality

The impact of financial development (FD) on economic growth in the context of Malaysia and Indonesia has been examined in this study regarding the role of the financial crisis and strategic changes in the institutional setup. Autoregressive distributed lags and threshold regression were applied, and time series data were analyzed for the period between 1984 and 2017 revealing that FD promoted the economic growth in both economies during this period. A nonlinear analysis also revealed that FD and economic growth follow an inverted U‐shape relation in the case of Malaysia whereas, in Indonesia, it followed a U‐shape relation. It was discovered that not all measures of FD promote economic growth. For instance, market capitalization was profound in the Malaysian economy while credit to the private sector and money supply was conducive for the Indonesian economy. The analysis demonstrated that the Asian and global financial crisis adversely affected economic growth in the case of Indonesia due to poor institutional quality (IQ), whereas in Malaysia it was relatively safe from the adversity brought about by the financial crisis due to the presence of IQ and good corporate governance. However, a positive change in IQ was found to have a much greater impact on augmenting economic growth rather than playing a mediating role in connection with FD and economic growth in Malaysia. In the context of Indonesia however, IQ was found to impede economic growth but played a positive and significant mediating role in the nexus of FD and economic growth. The spill‐over analysis revealed that Malaysian FD is positively associated with Indonesian economic growth while Indonesian FD is negatively associated with the Malaysian economy. This study provided all economic and anecdotal explanations in supporting the results of this study.
The stakeholder ecosystem of women entrepreneurs in South African townships

ABSTRACT The literature on women entrepreneurs indicates that they have a positive influence on national economic growth and employment levels, yet the lived experience of women business owners in the highly constrained setting of South African townships has not been reported in academic literature. This study thus explored the role of the various stakeholders by conducting semi-structured interviews with 40 women entrepreneurs in eight townships, as well as leaders of five small business support organisations. The research provides a unique insight into the contextual complexities faced by these female business owners, offers a model of their stakeholder relationships, and identifies inhibiting and enabling factors in these relationships.
Some properties of platelet antibodies : with special reference to the autoantibodies in chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura

Since the pivotal discovery by Harrington and coworkers in 1951 it is well recognized that a serum factor, subsequently localized to the immunoglobulin fraction, is involved in the pathogenesis of chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). Over the years, much effort was devoted to the development of techniques for the detection of this platelet antibody. Assays measuring the total platelet immunoglobulin content were shown to be neither specific nor sensitive enough. In the early 1980: s it became evident that certain platelet membrane glycoproteins (GPs) were targeted by autoantibodies, alloantibodies and carried blood group ABO antigens. As a consequence thereof refined and antigen-specific assays were developed. Currently, few data are available regarding the epitopes on the GPs acting as autoantigens. Nevertheless, it has been hypothesized that the autoantibodies in chronic ITP are clonally derived. The purpose of the present study was to: (a) evaluate different techniques, suitable for the routine laboratory, for detection of platelet antibodies in patients with ITP, (b) explore the hypothesis of clonally derived autoantibodies in ITP, and (c) characterize blood group A antigen expressing platelet GPs. Blood and serum samples were obtained from patients with an unequivocal diagnosis of chronic ITP. Employing whole platelet based assays (whole platelet ELISA and flow cytometry) platelet antibodies were detected in approximately 35% of the ITP patients, and the platelet antibodies were most frequently found to belong to the IgG immunoglobulin class. Using an antigen specific assay, the modified antigen capture ELISA (MACE), antibodies specific for GPIIb/IIIa and/or GPIb/IX were recorded in about one third of the ITP patients. However, there was a discrepancy as to results between the assays. Due to low sensitivity none of the assays can be recommended for routine clinical use in the differential diagnosis of thrombocytopenias. The results obtained support the hypothesis of clonally derived autoantibodies in chronic ITP. Thus, first, we found that these autoantibodies, in the majority of patients, were light chain restricted; second, IgG-F(ab')2 fragments prepared from two prototype ITP patients with known anti-GPIIb/IIIa were each able to block the binding of serum IgG to GPIIb/IIIa in at least 50% of other ITP patients, favoring a homogeneous autoepitope repertoire. However, an expanded clonal B-cell population could not be detected by using flow cytometric "clonal excess" analysis or PCR-analysis of Ig-gene rearrangements (CDR3). Apart from the previously reported blood group A-antigen expressing platelet GPs, i.e. GPIb, GPIIa, GPIIb, GPIIIa and PECAM, we observed that an anti-A antibody immunoblotted and immunoprecipitated some other uncharacterized GPs which had a molecular weight of 70-90 kD. These latter platelet proteins were characterized by us as platelet GPIV and GPV.
Laboratory Diagnosis of Rabies in Western Canada (1968-1977)

The results of laboratory examination of 18,086 specimens for the presence of rabies antigen by the fluorescent antibody and mouse inoculation tests over a ten year period are presented. The submissions were received from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, the Yukon and the Northwest Territories. Of those examined, 10.74% were positive: however, the incidence of rabies varied widely in the specimens and species submitted, depending on their origin. The principal wildlife reservoirs of the disease appear to be skunks, foxes and bats. A correlation of almost 99% was obtained between the fluorescent antibody test and the mouse inoculation test, indicating that the diagnostic procedures used were highly reliable in identifying rabies-infected animals.

It is crucial that they receive sufficient support by people around them and their nursing staff to function in everyday life.
Roles of libraries in ensuring political integration

This study is a qualitative review on the roles of libraries in enhancing political integration in Nigeria. There is need to foster national integration from the political dimension through library which is a key information institution. This view is presented in terms of the library enhancing political consciousness and participation, federalism, democratic governance, and individual's response to political campaign messages. It is concluded that library as a social-based information institution is rightly positioned to function outside the box to meet the political information needs of the public and equip them to become better citizens that are politically inclined. Thus, the authors recommend that libraries should provide equitable access to political information, provide media literacy skills, create awareness on the need for political participation and provide rural dwellers with information to meet their educational, medical, political, economic, and social needs. Key words: Library services, political participation, democratic governance, federalism, national integration/development.
The Impact of Slumping Oil Price on the Situation of Tanker Shipping along the Maritime Silk Road

Nearly 70% of the world’s maritime crude oil transportation relies on the Maritime Silk Road (MSR). In order to deeply explore the impact of slumping oil price on the shipping situation of tanker along the MSR, this paper establishes the relationship between monthly ship and oil price through Autoregressive Distributed Lag model. Distributions of cargo flow before and after the oil price slumped are compared to explore the changing law of tanker shipping situation. The study finds: (1) The correlation between the cargo flow situation of the tanker seaborne export and oil price, where the export cargo flow correlation is stronger than that of the import cargo flow. (2) The MSR tanker shipping situation is lagging (3 months) behind the impact of oil price. The lag effect in Europe, North Asia and East Asia is strong while that in Southeast Asia and South Asia is weak. (3) After the oil price slumped, the tanker shipping cargo flow increased less during the crude oil export stage, and the increase in the crude oil shipping trade after the transfer period was larger. The research results can provide a scientific basis for improving the decision-making ability of the crude oil shipping market and formulating maritime operations management measures.
Life Cycle Assessment of Forest-Based Products: A Review

Climate change, environmental degradation, and limited resources are motivations for sustainable forest management. Forests, the most abundant renewable resource on earth, used to make a wide variety of forest-based products for human consumption. To provide a scientific measure of a product’s sustainability and environmental performance, the life cycle assessment (LCA) method is used. This article provides a comprehensive review of environmental performances of forest-based products including traditional building products, emerging (mass-timber) building products and nanomaterials using attributional LCA. Across the supply chain, the product manufacturing life-cycle stage tends to have the largest environmental impacts. However, forest management activities and logistics tend to have the greatest economic impact. In addition, environmental trade-offs exist when regulating emissions as indicated by the latest traditional wood building product LCAs. Interpretation of these LCA results can guide new product development using biomaterials, future (mass) building systems and policy-making on mitigating climate change. Key challenges include handling of uncertainties in the supply chain and complex interactions of environment, material conversion, resource use for product production and quantifying the emissions released.

Referring in critical care: nurses as dual agents

Previous research has suggested that critical care nurses’ close and prolonged contact with patients places them in a unique position of improving patient outcomes and reducing the demand on critical care beds by detecting subtle signs of deterioration in a timely manner and identifying patient progression and readiness for less intensive care. Nonetheless, nurses rarely take decisions about patients’ treatment modalities on their own, and constantly need to seek advice or authorisation. Indeed, several studies suggested that one of the most frequent decisions taken by nurses during clinical practice is that of referring to medical, nursing or other health care practitioners. However, there is very limited research around the factors related to, and the actual process of, such referring. In view of this gap in the literature, the purpose of this study was to explore and explain the process of referring in the context of an intensive care unit by means of a substantive theory derived from the data. The principal research question was: What are the factors associated with critical care nurses’ decisions to seek help from medical practitioners?
Exploring Human-Nature Relationships amongst Young People: Findings of a Quantitative Survey between Germany and South Africa

The environmental crisis needs to be challenged by fundamental socio-ecological transformation. Contemporary science education programs focus on influential factors like nature experience, emotional bonds with the natural environment and understanding of nature trying to promote pro-environmental behaviors amongst young people. In order to compare two contrasting countries this quantitative survey was carried out with the participation of 836 young people in Germany, and 846 in South Africa aged 12 to 19 (M = 14.68, SD = .52). We found that young South Africans spent more time in nature together with their schools and are more emotionally related to their natural world. In conclusion, the human-nature relationships amongst young people in both countries can be described as inconsistent, detached and disturbed.
The Measurement of Gait

An individual’s walking pattern represents his or her particular solution to the problem of getting from A to B with the minimum expenditure of energy. It is generated through the precise and complex interaction of the many elements of the locomotor system, and under normal circumstances represents a highly efficient form of movement. However, any disorder or disruption of any constituent part of the system will have a deleterious effect on the resulting gait, causing deviations from the normal optimum pattern and making gait less efficient. The restoration of an optimum walking pattern is often a central part of the rehabilitation process. This clearly requires judgements to be made on a patient’s gait pattern at intervals during rehabilitation in order to assess the outcome of the treatment to date and effectively plan the future regime. To do this, clinicians must normally rely on observation of the patient’s gait pattern using
Matrizes de Medida Determinísticas Ótimas para Amostragem Compressiva Usando Bases Biortogonais

Resumo— O paradigma da amostragem compressiva permite reconstruir sinais esparsos em algum domı́nio com um erro aceit́avel suficientemente pequeno usando uma quantidade de medidas bem menor que a resultante do critério de Nyquist. Nesse paradigma, em geral, empregam-se medidas aleat órias obtidas projetando-se o sinal sobre funç̃oes de medida e se reconstr ói o sinal a partir das medidas obtidas considerando-se a minimizaç̃ ao da norma l1. Neste trabalho, investiga-se a utilizaç̃ ao de matrizes de medidas determinı́sticas e seu desempenho do ponto de vista do compromisso taxa ×distorção. Resultados experimentais indicam que o uso de matrizes de medidas determinı́sticas obt́em desempenho taxa ×distorção melhor que o emprego de matrizes aleat órias quando utiliza-se o crit ério de minimização da norma l1 na reconstruç̃ao. Al ém disso, para o caso de sinais esparsos em bases biortogonais, apresenta-se um ḿetodo para o projeto de matrizes de medidas determinı́sticas de coer ˆ ncia mı́nima, caso este que em geral melhora ainda mais o desempenho taxa×distorção.
The Original Measurement of the Unemployment Rate is Obsolete-Interpretation of the Unemployment and Inactivity is Cumbersome and Redundant

In a society which can be described by the single-earner family model, unemployment and the unemployment rate could be relevant category of the economy in general, and that of macroeconomics in particular. In the 20th century, the share of employed women rose gradually, and as a result the traditional family model disintegrated by the second half of the century. The predominance of the dual-income family and the single-adult household model (cannot be regarded as insignificant), which crowded out the single-earner family model, does not allow the grouping of the population according to labour market criteria in the earlier manner even logically and it is also not supported by actual practice. If we want to measure the joint proportion of the unemployed and the inactive, we can only compare it to the number of working-age population, as the employment rate is the number of the employed compared to the working-age population.

Maternal nutritional depletion.

: The author discusses maternal nutritional depletion, the negative energy balance and/or micronutrient deficiencies resulting from the energetic burden of frequent reproductive cycling combined with undernutrition and overexertion, and its impact upon a woman's health and nutritional status and that of her offspring. The article is therefore concerned with the impact of nutritional depletion which occurs during a woman's life cycle, as opposed to the effects of nutritional depletion which occur intergenerationally. A brief summary is presented of the recognition and controversy regarding the effects of reproductive stress followed by a description of the factors which make assessment and identification of specific consequences so complex, with approaches suggested to alleviate maternal nutritional depletion. Policy directions and areas for research are suggested.
PENGARUH ATURAN ETIKA DAN INDEPENDENSI TERHADAP KEPUASANKERJA INTERNAL AUDITOR,DENGAN PROFESIONALISME SEBAGAI VARIABEL INTERVENING(Studi Empiris Pada Internal Auditor BPKP Semarang)

This study aims to determine whether the application of rules of ethics, professionalism and independence of the auditor's influence job satisfaction, internal auditors, especially in the internal auditor (APIP) working in BPKP Semarang. Collecting data using primary data obtained from questionnaires using simple random sampling technique. The population is all of the internal auditor (APIP) BPKP Semarang, whereas samples taken amounted to 100 respondents. The result of the questionnaire has been tested its validity and reliability. Methods of data analysis using Pearson correlation technique. The results showed that all accepted hypothesis because the hypothesis test showed significant results. This means that the rules of ethics and independence of the effect on job satisfaction with the professionalism of internal auditors as an intervening variable. Testing the model either directly or indirectly as a whole showed a fairly good fit (poor-fit) to produce a confirmation of the causality relationship between variables.
Risk Parity is Not Short Volatility (Not That There's Anything Wrong with Short Volatility)

There have been increasingly frequent claims that risk parity strategies are hiding an implicit short volatility exposure or behave as though they are short volatility. In order to test the veracity of these claims, we simulate stylized versions of three-asset-class (equity, fixed income, and commodities) risk parity and short volatility strategies, and we compare the trading behavior and returns of each. We conclude that the two strategies’ similarities are overstated, and we find no empirical evidence to support the claimed hidden exposure. Even with conservative assumptions designed to heighten the similarity of the two strategies, their trades are uncorrelated (or even slightly negative correlated) at almost any horizon. Though their returns are moderately correlated, the correlation is explained by common exposure to equities and bonds, not by common exposure to gamma or other forms of convexity. Controlling for these static underlying exposures, we find that the returns of the two strategies are almost orthogonal, with short volatility explaining less than one percent of the total variance of risk parity returns. We extend our analysis to consider equity and fixed income asset classes in isolation, where we observe very similar results.
