Integrating Digital Health Services: An Open Platform Approach for Resource-Constrained Countries
Authors: Stroetmann Karl A.
Published: March 2023

Better health enables greater wealth. And digital health enables better healthcare. Also across resource-constraint countries digital health applications are becoming more prevalent. To establish a resilient national or district Digital Health Ecosystem, not only a holistic strategy – based on health policy priorities – is mandatory, but it must also be followed by a realistic roadmap and its comprehensive implementation,taking into account the success factors needed for its long-term sustainability and growth.A key challenge in this context is that deployed eHealth systems are usually in silos, such that no system or application is integrated with another. It is the missing interoperability of the many siloed systems which constitutes a core barrier towards reaping greater benefits from digital health. To successfully transform the provision of quality healthcare services it is mandatory to put into place an open digital health platform that comprehensively integrates eHealth services across all healthcare facilities in a timely, efficient and seamless manner. The open platform concept and its technical approach are developed, and core elements and aspects are critically explored. A constituent complement of such an open approach is a detailed interoperability framework which must be adhered to by all services and applications coordinated via the platform. The key question in this context of how to determine interoperability requirements is briefly discussed. This is complemented by identifying leading open source eHealth software products available and being applied in emerging market and developing economies around the world.Digital health is different from almost any other sector. By identifying the challenges encountered in healthcare the discussion reviews how the open platform approach helps to overcome these barriers, and identifies important pitfalls to be avoided.
Challenges of Big Data from a Philosophical Perspective
Authors: Choenni Sunil , Netten Niels , Bargh Mortaza , Choenni Rochelle
Published: March 2023

Due to the many potential applications of Big Data, the expectations are high. However, there are some fundamental objections on the straightforward use of Big Data outcomes. In this paper, we take a philosophical view on the Big Data approach and discuss these objections. Formally, Big Data induces models from very large data sets, which are nevertheless incomplete. In many cases these data sets might be skewed as well. This gives rise to the question to what extent induced models represent the real world adequately, and therefore are sufficiently grounded to base new policies on. We argue that caution is needed in interpreting these models and well thought through strategies are required for using the models in practice in a responsible way. We discuss two strategies that may be used.
Reliability of a Directly Cooled PV/T System
Authors: Mtunzi Busiso , Meyer Edson
Published: March 2023

The objective of this paper was to quantify and evaluate the effect of water absorption on a directly cooled PV module (PV/T). A design experiment was assembled and used in analysing the performance of the directly water cooled PV module when compared to a naturally cooled PV module. The results revealed that not only the power output of the PV/T dropped, but also the series and shunt resistances of the PV/T changed, and these were found to bring about changes in the generated power. A drop in output power impacted negatively on the performance of the PV/T system. This was found to have an effect on the reliability of the PV systems, hence compounding on the system’s ability to deliver the rated power during its life time. The Photovoltaic Module data considered in this paper was for a period of one year.
Poor Road User Practices: Colombo Urban Roads a Case Study
Authors: Weerasekera K. S.
Published: March 2023

A road user behaviour study was conducted in a busy suburban area outside SouthEastern city limits of Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka. The study area consisted of heterogeneous vehicle composition; typically combined with high proportion of motorcycles and three-wheelers which are poor in adhering to road rules that could commonly see in most of the South Asian developing countries. Although heavy investments are utilized in road improvement projects in these countries, the outcomes gained often seems to be unsatisfactory. The intent of this study was to find out the reasons for this unsatisfactory outcomes of the investments spent on road improvement projects and look into possible measures to overcome these unsatisfactory outcomes. The study was conducted in two parts; (i) road user behaviour study, and (ii) field consultation study. Through the road user behaviour study the undesirable practices of all road users such as; passenger vehicles, motorcycles, three-wheelers, buses, trucks, pedestrians and excessive noise were directly identified. It was seen from the consultation study results the varied expectations of different categories of road stake holders’ were different from category to category and biased towards their advantage. Finally through this study it was observed that the maximum benefits expected from investing on road improvement projects are not fully realized when poor road user practices are being adopted by the stake holders’.
Five Lessons Learned Using Water-Scrum-Fall in South Africa
Authors: Butgereit Laurie
Published: March 2023

The term Water-Scrum-Fall was coined by West et al. in 2011 to describe a hybrid methodology which is a by-product of attempting to introduce Scrum into an organisation which usually operates with a Waterfall Methodology. Water ScrumFall typically appears in an organisation which had been using the Waterfall Methodology and in which a development team attempts to migrate to Scrum (or some other Agile Methodology). In such a hybrid, the first few phases (such as feasibility studies, funding exercises, requirements gathering, etc) are executed using a Waterfall Methodology. Then the development and possiby testing phases are executed using Scrum and are broken up into small sprints. The actual deployment, however, is then executed using again the Waterfall Methodology. This paper looks at a specific project in a South African listed company in which the development team implemented Scrum for the development phase and a large portion of the testing phase. This hybrid methodology was not necessary successful. This paper describes five of the lessons learned using Water-Scrum-Fall.

Authors: Chimtengo Stephen , Chimpesa Eric , Hanif Rabiya
Published: March 2023

The aim of the study was to assess the knowledge of final year accountancy students on the elements of financial statements as contained in the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting. The study was exploratory in nature. It involved final year students on the accountancy programmes at colleges and universities in Malawi. The students were required to list the elements of financial statements. The results indicate that the majority of the students were not aware of the elements despite the fact that the financial reporting syllabi for the programmes incorporate the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting. It is recommended that financial reporting lecturers at the colleges and universities should adopt the principles based approach to teaching International Financial Reporting Standards. The accountancy students should also be encouraged to consider the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting as a foundation for their accounting studies and so endeavor to know its tenets.

Published: March 2023

This paper aims to establish the relationships between the altmetrics derived from the academic social networking tool ResearchGate and bibliometrics derived from the citation resources Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar to establish which academic social networking tools gives the most advantage. The investigation forms part of a longitudinal study investigating the e-visibility of the environmental science researchers at the University of South Africa during December 2014 and December 2016. The bibliometric indicators from Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar, and altmetric indicator data from ResearchGate were collected in six (6) month intervals, and analysed using SPSS to determine the Pearson’s rank correlations. The results indicated a positive correlation between the bibliometric indicators derived from Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar, and the altmetric indicators derived from the academic social networking tool ResearchGate. The results show that ResearchGate altimetric indicators influence the bibliometric indicators positively. ResearchGate therefore can be recommended for academic social networking as a strategy to influence the Environmental Science researcher’s citations positively at Unisa.

Published: March 2023

The paper takes gender into consideration in assessing if and how much this ascribed factor impacts school performance. The effects of gender connected to the type of school attended and to the geographical area of residence are analysed. Although there are gender gaps in literacy resulting from the OECD PISA - Programme for International Student Assessment’ study - with greater female proficiency in text comprehension and greater male ability in conceptual skill in mathematics - it seems, however, that these trends can be significantly mitigated by the type of school attended and by the geographical area of residence. The paper takes into consideration the Italian case.

Published: March 2023

Environmental problems and their solutions must be introduced to students from an early age through Environmental Education (PLH). One of PLH’s implementations is the Adiwiyata Program. The success of the Adiwiyata Program can be measured by examining differences in knowledge, positive attitudes, and positive behavior towards environmental problems and solutions. This study aimed to analyze quantitatively and qualitatively differences in knowledge, positive attitudes and positive behavior regarding the environment in school that has participated and that who has not participated in the Adiwiyata Program. Data were analyzed using a Likert scale with three categories: 1) good, 2) quite good, and 3) not good. Mann-Whitney U Test analysis was conducted to test the significance of the difference between the two groups of respondents. There was a difference in knowledge, attitudes, behavior and PLH scores in school that has participated in the Adiwiyata Program and that who has not. There was also a difference in student knowledge but not significant between schools participating in the Adiwiyata Program and not participating in the program. Students who participated in the Adiwiyata Program had better PLH scores than those who did not follow the Adiwiyata program

Gayo coffee has many benefits in terms of the environment, economy, and socio-cultural aspects, especially for the Gayo tribe. Recently, Gayo coffee has been the main commodity for the plant cultivation of the Gayo tribe, including the Mude Nosar as local farmers. One of the ways to cultivate Gayo coffee is through an agroforestry system. However, limited reports on the tree species composition and its management in Gayo coffee-based agroforestry needs to be explored. This study aims i) to identify the tree species composition and structure, as well as 2) to analyze the management of Gayo coffee-based agroforestry system in Mude Nosar Village. The study method used plot establishment for vegetation analysis, and interviewed the Gayo coffee farmers. The results showed that the number of tree species at all growth stages was 26 species. The highest Important Value Index (IVI) at the understory and sapling level in order was rumput kerbau (Paspalum conjugatum) and Gayo coffee (Coffea arabica), while at the seedling, pole, and tree levels were dominated by lamtoro (Leucaena leucocephala). The local farmers often use lamtoro as a shade tree for Gayo coffee in agroforestry system. The species diversity index (H') showed low values at all growth levels, except for understory plants with moderate values. The horizontal structure of the tree stand showed an inverted J curve, meaning that the regeneration rate is normal. The vertical structure of the tree stand belongs to strata C and D. The local farmers have applied good Gayo coffee management practices through an agroforestry system including land and seed preparation, planting, maintenance, and harvesting techniques. Coffee seeds and seedlings are from natural regeneration. Plant maintenance techniques are carried out by weeding, pruning, organic fertilization, and controlling pests and diseases. The harvest coffee season is generally twice a year. The management of Gayo coffee using an agroforestry system impacts the ecological, economic, and social aspects.

Authors: Kolyadko P. V. , Degovtsov E. N. , Kolyadko V. P. , Nikitina Yu. P. , Satinov A. V.
Published: March 2023

Background. In the available literature, the data on the positive effects of sleeve gastrectomy in treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) become more common, however, they are heterogeneous and not always unambiguous.

The aim. To analyze our own results of treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and impaired glucose tolerance, who underwent sleeve gastrectomy.

Materials and methods. Retrospective cohort registry-based study was carried out. From 2016 to April 2021, 29 (19 %) and 7 (4.6 %) patients with diagnosed T2DM and IGT respectively underwent surgery. Of these, sleeve gastrectomy was performed in 13  (44.8  %)  patients with type  2 diabetes mellitus and in 5  (71.4  %)  patients with IGT. The mean duration of follow-up for T2DM and IGT patients was 14.2 ± 12.3 and 11.2 ± 9.0 months respectively.

Results. The mean %EWL (% excess weight loss) in patients with T2DM and IGT was 44.1 ± 17.3 and 51.5 ± 16.9 respectively, and the mean %TWL (% total weight loss) was 25.0 ± 8.0 and 27.8 ± 6.0 respectively. At the moment of observation, all patients had normal level of fasting blood glucose. The level of HbA1c in patients with type 2 diabetes before the surgery was 8.2 ± 1.6, after surgery, at the time of observation – 5.8 ± 0.5 (U = 4; p ≤ 0.01). Targeted HbA1c values was recorded in all 13 patients with type 2 diabetes.

Conclusion. Our study shows the efficiency of sleeve gastrectomy both in terms of weight loss and of the remission for patients with T2DM and IGT.
Role of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and its association with inflammatory markers in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus
Authors: Diwesh Chawla  , Rajarshi Kar  , Dinesh Puri  , Sri Venkata Madhu
Published: March 2023

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a multifactorial disease associated with hyperglycemia and increased risk of progression of vascular complications. Stimulation of insulin secretion by the incretin hormone glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) has been found to be diminished in hyperglycemia. We hypothesized that this impairment is due to defect at the receptor level induced by the diabetic state. Inflammatory markers like TNF-α and IL-6 plays a potential role in the pathogenesis of T2DM. Therefore, the present study aims to evaluate whether GLP-1 plays a role in the development of T2DM by modulating the balance between pro and anti-inflammatory markers. Material and methods: A total of 60 subjects were recruited in this study among them 30 were T2DM cases and 30 were healthy controls. m-RNA expression and protein level of GLP-1 receptor, TNF-α and IL-6 in peripheral blood lymphocytes were determined by real time PCR and ELISA respectively. Results: We observed plasma level of GLP-1 was significantly lower in diabetic subjects while serum level of IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly higher level in diabetic subjects (p < 0.05). We found significant down regulation of GLP-1 receptor m-RNA expression in diabetic subjects while expression level of IL-6 and TNF-α were 5.8 and 4 folds respectively higher in diabetic subjects. We found significant negative correlation of m-RNA expression of GLP-1 with protein level while IL-6 and TNF-α showed significant positive correlation. Conclusion: Inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus and low GLP-1 levels may promote expression of inflammatory markers due to lack of anti-inflammatory effects of GLP-1
Bilateral ablation of the vomeronasal organs produces dramatic changes in the EEG of the main olfactory system during paradoxical sleep
Authors: Claudio Osvaldo Cervino  , Omar Héctor Iodice
Published: March 2023

Background: The vomeronasal organ (VNO) plays an important role in reproductive physiology, behavior, sexual behavior and aggression. Objective: The aim is to report a surprising effect of the removal of the VNO on the cortical electrical activity of the olfactory bulb, piriform lobe and frontal cortex exclusively during paradoxical sleep (PS). Methodology: Seventeen adult armadillos chronically prepared for electrographic recordings were employed. Some animals were subjected to VNO bilateral remove. They were studied during wakefulness and sleep phases. Results: An outstanding phenomenon occurs during PS of armadillos submitted to bilateral ablation of the VNO. There is a dramatic change in the oscillations of the olfactory bulb electrical activity strictly confined to PS. The change consists of the sudden appearance, as soon as PS initiates, of high amplitude gamma oscillations during the whole duration of each PS episode. They disappear as soon as PS comes to an end. The oscillations are also seen in the paleocortex and the frontal neocortex. They disappear after the transverse section of the olfactory peduncles. Conclusions: Our results show the absence of VNO deeply modifies the electrophysiological expression of PS in the olfactory bulb and other extensive brain areas. They are elicited by the centrifugal input to the olfactory bulb. From there they propagate to the piriform and frontal neocortex. These results show a new and subtle role for the organs. Some hypotheses related to the effects of bilateral removal of the VNO are presented.

Published: March 2023

Cassava and its various fermented products are one of the local foods in Indonesia. The fermentation process can have different effects on food, both in taste and nutritional value. Changes in sucrose and reduced sugar levels during fermentation play a role in determining food effects in various health disorders. This study aims to describe the impact of cassava fermentation on different fermented products (tape, growol, gathot) in terms of sucrose and reducing sugar levels. This observational laboratory research was done through two stages, i.e., qualitative and quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis examined carbohydrates' presence (monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides) through the Molisch test, Benedict's test, and the Iodine test. Quantitative analysis was carried out to determine sucrose and reducing sugar levels using three replicates with the Nelson-Somogyi test. The research was conducted in January-July 2019 at Universitas Respati Yogyakarta and Chem-mix Pratama Laboratory. The statistical analysis used was One Way Anova at a 5% significance level and continued with the Tukey test. Qualitative tests showed cassava, tape, growol, and gathot contained monosaccharides and polysaccharides. Benedict's test results showed that growol did not have reducing sugars. The quantitative test showed Growol's reducing sugar content was the lowest (0.32%) compared to cassava (0.95%), tape (14.87%), and gathot (11.12%). The highest sucrose content was in cassava (4.77%) followed by growol (2.36%), tape (1.47%), and gathot (0.78%). There were significant differences in sucrose and reducing sugars levels between cassava, tape, growol, and gathot (p<0.001). In conclusion, growol is a fermented food that can be used as a functional food.
Evaluating Laboratory Side-stream Membrane Bioreactor and Nanofiltration System for Treating Domestic Wastewater and Reuse
Authors: Badr Elaf , Gzar Hatem A.
Published: March 2023

This paper presents Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) and Nanofiltration (NF) systems as alternative and effective approaches for treatment and reusing domestic sewage. The goal is to investigate the general performance of a membrane bioreactor and nanofilteration membrane ability to satisfy water reuse requirements using water quality index such as total suspended solids (TSS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and ammonia (NH3). The findings show that the MBR system produces high-quality permeating water. TSS, COD and NH3 rejection rates were 99%, 90.3%, and 82.5% (on average). In addition, MBR technology is quite successful as a pre-NF treatment. We also evaluated how pressure and temperature affect the effectiveness of the NF membrane removal of TDS, COD, ammonia, and permeating flux. The results showed that the applied pressure has a favorable impact on the total removal rate; however, the feeding temperature has a negative impact. The feeding temperature, in addition to pressure, has a good influence on the flux of the NF system.

Uncovering my pentimento: an autoethnographic investigation of psychological distress due to career failure.
Authors: Tissington Pat
Published: March 2023

The transition from full time education into the workplace is one of the most significant life events. For some this is a smooth, planned progression whereas others find it difficult, distressing, and even traumatic. There is surprisingly little published work that addresses career failure despite it being common and a potentially stressful life event. The purpose of this paper is to analyze one such failure and shows that reflexive learning might be dodged in the case of unplanned transition. It also highlights issues of psychological distress due to shame surrounding failure and the loss of professional identity. This paper adopts an autoethnographic method to provide a structured, systematic, but engaging insight into the process of career failure – pre-entry, induction, dismissal and aftermath. The experience described in this paper is characterized by multiple setbacks, success, and resilience; but ends in failure. The key finding is that early identification with a profession aggravates the negative impact of career failure and explores how this contributed to missed learning opportunities. At the root of this trauma was the feeling of social shaming due to failure and the loss of a powerful career-based identity.Theoretically structured reflections are presented focusing on the risks of strong identification, the psychological impact of failure, and the importance of reflexive learning.

The Puget Sound Coastal Storm Modeling System (PS-CoSMoS) is a tool designed to dynamically downscale future climate scenarios (i.e., projected changes in wind and pressure fields and tem-perature) to compute regional water levels, waves, and compound flooding over large geographic areas (100s of kilometers) at high spatial resolutions (1 m) pertinent to coastal hazard assessments and planning. This research focuses on advancing robust and computationally-efficient approaches to resolving the coastal compound flooding components for complex, estuary environments and its application to the Puget Sound region of Washington State (USA) and greater Salish Sea. The modeling system provides coastal planners with projections of storm hazards and flood exposure for recurrence flood events spanning the annual to 1-percent-annual chance flood, necessary to manage public safety and the prioritization and cost-efficient protection of critical infrastructure and valued ecosystems . The tool is applied and validated for Whatcom County, Washington, includes a cross-shore profile model (XBeach) and overland flooding model (SFINCS) and is nested in a regional tide-surge model and wave model. Despite uncertainties in boundary conditions, hindcast simulations performed with the coupled model system accurately identified areas that were flooded during a recent storm in 2018. Flood hazards and risk are expected to increase ex-ponentially as sea level rises in the study area of 210 km of shoreline. With 1 meter of sea-level rise, annual flood extents are projected to increase from 13 to 33 km2 (5 and 13% of low-lying Whatcom County) and flood risk (defined in USD) is projected to increase fifteenfold (from 14 to 206 million USD). PS-CoSMoS, like its prior iteration in California (CoSMoS), provides valuable coastal hazard projections to help communities plan for the impacts of sea level rise and storms.
Indeterminism belief protects against uncertainty: First empirical findings
Authors: Grüning David Joachim , Krueger Joachim Israel
Published: March 2023

We empirically explore the idea that individuals' perception of the (in)determinism of their world plays a crucial role in how they tolerate uncertainties. We argue that the belief in indeterminism provides personal autonomy and partial independence from the influence of external events, which can protect against perceived uncertainties. Our small empirical study (N = 61) provides first evidence that beliefs in free will and metaphysical dualism have no effect on uncertainty tolerance, but that the belief in an indetermined world is positively associated with uncertainty tolerance. We extend these findings by examining proxies of indeterminism belief in a cross-national dataset (N = 31 countries), including perceived political and personal freedom, as well as religious belief. We find that greater political and personal freedom is associated with higher tolerance for uncertainty across countries, while religious belief, which posits a world determined by divine powers, is negatively associated with uncertainty tolerance. With these theoretical ideas and empirical findings, we hope to stimulate research to further advance our understanding of the association between belief in indeterminism and tolerating uncertainty.
Remaining capacity of steel perforated tubular members under compression and bending load scenarios
Authors: Hernandez Irving David
Published: March 2023

In this thesis, two numerical-experimental studies are presented to evaluate the remaining compressive and flexural capacity of steel tubular members from offshore units. Perforation damage at half the length is considered as a result from prolonged exposure of the structure to a corrosive environment. Thermal, hydrodynamic or pressure loads are disregarded in this work. A three-dimensional reconstruction procedure, using image sets, has been developed and implemented to consider the initial defects of real samples in numerical models. Parameters such as ratios of transversal and longitudinal slenderness and the perforation magnitude were used to propose design equations for each load scenario. Based on the analysis of variance of the results, the predictions of numerical models and design equations presented a low deviation from the experimental measurements for each type of load.
Remaining compressive capacity in slender tubular elements with external corrosion
Authors: Hernandez Irving David
Published: March 2023

This work aims to provide criteria for evaluating the remaining capacity of slender tubular elements which achieved an outer wall degradation due to the effects of corrosion. These elements are subjected to pure compression loads, without the consideration of pressure, thermal or hydrostatic loads, through numerical and analytical formulations of specific patterns of corrosion, reducing conservatism without neglecting the security and integrity of the elements. It analyzes the relationship between the compressive capacity and the effects caused by the characteristics of defect, eccentricity and slenderness of the element as indicators and factors of accelerating the onset of buckling
Gender responsive budgeting and its implementation efforts in Nepal
Authors: Bhul Baburam
Published: March 2023

The purpose of this article is to analyze the contemporary experiences of gender responsive budgeting and its implementation efforts in Nepal. In recent years, the introduction of gender responsive budgeting has become an important topic on the government agenda to meaningfully internalize gender equality in public finance. Gender responsive budgeting, as an integral part in fiscal and budgetary decision making, can make gender equality and help differentiate the impacts on men and women. This article is based on the analytical and descriptive research design based on literature review of secondary data and information used for the analysis of the information. Therefore, the analysis of public expenditure and revenue policies and practices should consider this differentiated gender impact. Gender responsive budgeting in Nepal is committed to maintaining progressive social change, but efforts that are more concrete are needed to match political commitments. In the entire world, women only make 77 cents for every $1 earned by males. This gender responsive budgeting receives the highest share of the Nepal's budget in fiscal year 2021/22 (2078/79), accounting for 39 percent of all investments. Nepal has been associated with various gender responsive activities through different national policies, budgets, periodic and yearly plans and projects since the fiscal year 2007/08; and it is dedicated to the global commitment for the sustainable development goals and its timely achievements with the national targets; and leading the nation towards the gender inclusive society and gender friendly behaviors by the nation in all processes of the governance of Nepal.

Published: March 2023

Este artigo objetiva demonstrar que a educação para a paz é o caminho para a transmutação da cultura de violência pela da paz, respeitando-se os direitos humanos. O referencial teórico é a discussão da relação violência-paz em Galtung (1969), a proposta de educação para a paz em Jares (2002) e Salles Filho (2016) e a complexidade dos direitos humanos em Flores (2009). Trata-se de pesquisa exploratória e de caráter bibliográfico, visando a articulação dos conceitos que articulam o estudo. Como resultado tem-se que o rumo à cultura de paz perpassa o respeito aos direitos humanos e as iniciativas de educação para a paz.

Conceptual Framework Depicting the Interrelationship between A Country's Welfare Regime and its Health System
Authors: Gani Shenaaz , de Clercq Bernadene
Published: March 2023

The effectiveness of healthcare systems varies greatly, and the ability to achieve important health objectives varies between welfare regimes and nations. In order to improve our understanding of how health systems perform under various welfare regimes, this paper offers a framework that establishes this relationship. As a result, the purpose of this paper is to present a framework that could be utilized to construct a connection between a country’s welfare system and its health system. The first stage is to establish the parameters of welfare regimes based on the notions of governance and power usage. The study goes on to discuss the concept of the health system, the performance of the health system, and how these concepts relate to welfare regimes. Within these constraints, health system performance focuses on three essential objectives: strengthening responsiveness to the population's expectations, ensuring fairness of financial contribution, and improving health. Once the fundamental objectives of health systems have been identified, they must be measured, and a conceptual relationship between welfare regimes and health systems must be established. By developing a framework for the interactions between welfare regimes and the health system, it is possible to understand the primary factors affecting the functioning of health system as well as to consider important policy issues and formulations.
