Published: October 2020

La estimación de parámetros en áreas o dominios particulares puede ser problemática cuando el tamaño muestral correspondiente a dichos dominios es reducido ya que las “estimaciones directas” suelen ser inestables. Los modelos de efectos aleatorios constituyen una alternativa metodológica apropiada para mejorar estas estimaciones. En este trabajo se utilizan estos modelos para estimar la tasa de desocupación en dominios pequeños con información proporcionada por la Encuesta Permanente de Hogares (EPH) correspondiente al Aglomerado Gran Rosario. Se realiza, además, un estudio por simulación a fin de ampliar los resultados a diferentes escenarios de análisis. Los resultados hallados muestran la conveniencia del uso de la estimación basada en modelos toda vez que el tamaño de la muestra de los subgrupos sea reducido y la variabilidad entre ellos no sea demasiado importante.

Published: October 2020

Los estudios de repetibilidad y reproducibilidad fueron diseñados con el propósito de analizar la bondad de los sistemas de medición, análisis cuya importancia radica en el hecho que un sistema inadecuado introducirá variabilidad adicional ocasionando que las mediciones no reflejen el verdadero comportamiento del proceso. El análisis se basa en la cuantificación de la variabilidad asociada al sistema de medición y su posterior comparación con la variabilidad total observada, siendo requerimiento fundamental para ello que resulte factible obtener mediciones repetidas de una misma unidad bajo las mismas condiciones experimentales, de lo contrario, la variabilidad en las mediciones estará confundida con la variabilidad propia de las partes medidas. Tal es el caso en que los ensayos de medición son “destructivos”, esto es, las unidades no son robustas frente al proceso de medición, o bien, las unidades no son temporalmente estables.

En este trabajo se exponen diversas alternativas para el caso de estudios R&R con ensayos destructivos y una aplicación particular en un problema real sobre estimación de tiempos de producción en una empresa metalúrgica. El empleo de Modelos Lineales Generalizados permitió obtener estimaciones adecuadas de ciertas Componentes de Variancia, que advirtieron sobre características importantes a mejorar en el proceso de medición.

Published: October 2020

La nutrición ha alcanzado cada vez mayor importancia debido a sus efectos en la calidad de vida de los trabajadores y su productividad. El objetivo de esta investigación fue describir el estado nutricional y desempeño laboral de trabajadores del sector salud del Municipio de Maracaibo. El estudio fue descriptivo y transversal, con una muestra de 237 trabajadores de diferentes instituciones del sector salud, con edades entre 20-60 años, de ambos sexos. A cada individuo se le realizó una evaluación antropométrica, dietética y una revisión del expediente de trabajo para obtener información sobre enfermedades, reposos médicos y desempeño laboral. El análisis nutricional antropométrico según el IMC arrojo que el 54% de los trabajadores tenía malnutrición, ubicándose la de exceso en mayor porcentaje. La circunferencia de cintura mostro que el 43,9% presenta alto riesgo de enfermedad cardio metabólica. El 55,3% de los trabajadores se ubicann en un rendimiento laboral dentro de lo esperado. Se concluye que un importante número de los trabajadores presentaron alguna alteración del estado nutricional y de salud por lo que se hace necesario desarrollar y aplicar un programa de prevención y atención nutricional que promueva un estilo de vida saludable en estos ambientes de trabajo.
Importancia del Conocimiento por la Población de las Propiedades Antioxidantes en Plantas Nativas de Chile
Authors: Rodriguez-Díaz Maite
Published: October 2020

Chile se caracteriza por poseer una rica vegetación debido principalmente a la variabilidad de sus zonas climáticas, a lo largo del país. A su vez existen muchas plantas medicinales que han sido estudiadas a través de los años, pero aún no se publican suficientes estudios que avalen su uso. El conocimiento cultural ancestral de las plantas nativas se transmite de generación en generación de acuerdo a las diferentes zonas geográficas donde habiten las plantas. Mediante una encuesta se procedió a verificar el conocimiento sobre uso y propiedades de plantas medicinales en una muestra de la población de Santiago, especialmente sobre especies nativas, con propiedades medicinales antioxidantes. Pudimos constatar que hay escaso conocimiento en relación a los estudios llevados a cabo sobre estas especies objeto de estudio, por parte de la población que las consume. Así algunas plantas eran conocidas por ser cultivadas en la zona central como el matico, mientras que otras plantas de la muestra eran menos conocidas por ser nativas de otras regiones, por ejemplo el calafate y la murtilla. Estas no se cultivaban en la zona en estudio. La encuesta permitió ver como la población adquiría, consumía estas plantas, y si tenían conocimientos de que estas podían ser usadas en la categoría de medicamentos herbarios tradicionales dada por el MINSAL, como alternativa fármaco terapéutica.

Published: October 2020

Cartoons are not only seen as a media channel to provide entertainment to the community. This is because cartoons play an important role as a very effective medium of information delivery to all groups. The message in the cartoon is conveyed either through the language use and illustrations or mere illustrations from a cartoonist. The display of illustrations with the language used in cartoons in the press indirectly brings current issues in various aspects. Even though these illustrations can help stimulate one's ideas and maturity in evaluating a message. The purpose of this study is to examine language use as a communication strategy in cartoons and describe the use of direct and indirect methods in cartoons. As such, the use of language as a communication strategy is examined based on the language use used in cartoons, namely the language use through direct methods and indirectness methods. The study was conducted qualitatively through a descriptive approach. Study data were taken and collected from cartoons or illustrations produced by Maro cartoonists in the Malaysia Kita column, Mingguan Malaysia. The illustration taken as study data is an illustration that gives an overview of the current situation of the country in Mingguan Malaysia every Sunday for the July and August issues in 2019 and August 2020. Data analysis is done through an approach that presented by Asmah Hj Omar through research on the language use through indirectness methods and the language use through direct methods. The results of this study can be observed that the cartoon in the newspaper clearly shows that there is an emphasis on these two methods as a communication strategy used through language use as a way to ensure that the message conveyed can be understood by all parties. Thus, language use through this indirectness method is the main choice in the delivery of storytelling through cartoons. The study of language on cartoon illustrations needs to be given a wider focus because there are still many vacancies that need to be examined.

In almost every organization where user sensitive data is available, security and privacy of the data plays a vital role. As storage of these information is overhead in database, Tokens are generated which handles sessions and also self contains user details. One of such widely used stateless token is Json Web Token. This paper deals with the research that follows implementation of authentication and authorization technique using JSON web token which will make web service a role based one .In the project under taken, Json web token is generated in a more secured way by choosing the secret key for web token wisely. Usually key for the token was a mere string or the set of keys stored in a key ring in the database and used alternately for the users to create the token. Or one more trial model is created where captcha was used in short a random number was generated and used as secret key for token generation but the main issue was increased storage. Thus storage is tried to reduce also less predictive secret key is generated in this project.

Published: October 2020

Recently there was news indicating that mangoes might cause cancer. The news was based on the fact that mangoes were being artificially ripened using a chemical- calcium carbide and Ethrel, a well- known carcinogenic. The consumers hence have to be careful in buying the mangoes. In this study, we have proposed a model for classification of artificially and naturally ripened mangoes using k-NN and SVM classifiers. In order to improve the efficacy of the model, color space features such like RGB, HSV, L*a*b are extracted. Along with the color space features, 14 Haralick texture features are also extracted here. An mango is automatically segmented in an image using modified K-means clustering segmentation method. For the experimental study, mangoes of 2 varieties such as Badami and Raspuri have been taken. In each variety, three different classes of ripened mangoes are taken such as naturally and in chemical, two artificial ripening treatments were applied like calcium carbide and Ethrel solution. The obtained experimental result in terms of F-measure is ranging from 64% to 84% for two different varieties of mangoes using two different chemicals. Further this proposed model can be implemented for different variety of mangoes.
Los derechos humanos en américa latina Una aproximación desde la crítica jurídica latinoamericana
Authors:   Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Tapia Argüello Sergio Martín
Published: October 2020

La lucha en y a través de los derechos humanos ha sido vista, en términos generales, como algo benéfico por sí mismo (e.g. Ferrajoli, 1999, Alexy, 2007) incluso desde algunas posturas que se asumen como críticas (cf. Correas & Del Gesso, 2003). Este optimismo sobre las posibilidades transformativas de los derechos humanos resulta comprensible. Mientras los grandes referentes de emancipación social del siglo XX, como las ideas libertarias y comunistas comenzaron a perder su poder aglutinador en las luchas cotidianas de la gente común, los derechos humanos lograron articularse como una opción válida aún en el momento de transición que significó la caída del socialismo realmente existente (Santos, 2009, 509- 510).
USEFULNESS OF VARIOUS DYNAMIC AND STATIC PARAMETERS IN SLEEP MRI STUDIES -DO THEIR INCORPORATION IN ROUTINE REPORTING IN PATIENTS WITH OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEPAPNEA PROVE VALUABLE ?
Authors: Chellathurai Amarnath , Vadivel Sudhakar , Jayabalan Chezhian , Muthaiyan Priya , Xavier Sebastian
Published: October 2020

Background:
Sleep MRI is a new emerging non invasive modality in the preoperative evaluation of patients with obstructive sleep apnoea. Rather than subjective, the aim of the study is to evaluate the competency of certain dynamic and static parameters (variables and diemensions), that can be used in day to day reporting. Incorporating such parameters, may prove to be helpful in guiding surgical decision making.

Materials and Methods:
A retrospective analytical study included 27 subjects with OSA aged between 18 and 70 years using 1.5 T MRI . We measured variables such as the cross-sectional area and diameter of the retropalatal and retroglossal airway during the asleep and awakened states.We also measured comprehensive airway dimensions such as antero-posterior diameter of the tongue, midline saggital diameter of tongue, intermandibular rami distance, mentum spine distance and relative size of the tongue using the spine as the posterior border of the bony confines.

Results:
21 patients had significant retropalatal airway compromise, and was evidenced by statistically significant variables in awakened and asleep states. The mean minimum anterior–posterior diameter (mm) of retropalatal airway during respiratory cycle was statistically significant measuring 3.1±1.5 mm in awaken state and 1.1±1.5 mm during asleep state (p- value 0.01). The mean minimum cross sectional area during respiratory cycle was statistically significant measuring 98±11 mm2 in awaken state and 63 ±12 mm2 during asleep state (p- value 0.04). 6 patients had significant retroglossal airway compromise, and was evidenced by statistically significant. The thickness of the soft palate and the relative size of the tongue (0.5± 0.01mm) was statistically significant in these patients (p- value 0.01).

Conclusion:
Our study shows that retropalatal airway is a significant cause of obstruction in patients with OSA, compared with retroglossal airway. We suggest that, when the compromise of the retroplatine aiway is to be evaluated, variables such as cross sectional area and antero-posterior diameter of the retropalatal airway during the respiratory phase in asleep and awakened states proves valuable and dimensions such as soft palate thickness as tool for objective measurement of OSA. When the compromise of the retroglossal aiway is to be evaluated, the relative size of the tongue , proves offers more advantage than the variables of airway compromise such as area and antero-posterior diameter.To further evaluate if some of our parameters correlate with the outcomes of the surgeries of OSA, a multivariate analysis would have been required.

Published: October 2020

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to assess the usefulness of the defecation phase during dynamic MR defecography in detecting rectal pathologies.
MATERIALS AND METHODS. The images from 50 MR defecographic examinations (50 patients; age range, 13-73 years; mean, 49.88) were retrospectively reviewed in consensus by two observers. Images from each of four phases (rest, maximal sphincter contraction and squeezing, maximal straining, and defecation) were evaluated and scored independently with a previously published grading and scoring system. Features evaluated included the presence and degree of rectal descent and the presence and size of rectocele and intussusception. Statistical analysis was performed with a variety of tests.
RESULTS. Compared with images obtained in the other phases, defecation phase images helped in identification of additional cases of rectoceles in 23 examinations (62%), rectal descent in 10 examinations (40%) and intussusception in 2 examinations (67%). The number of additional cases of abnormalities identified on defecation phase images was significantly greater than the number identified on images obtained in the other phases. The average total scores for the rest, squeeze, strain, and defecation phases were 0.06 (SD,0.24), 0.16 (SD,0.37), 0.82 (SD, 0.66), and 1.86 (SD, 0.78). The average total defecation phase score was significantly greater than the average total score in any of the other phases (p < 0.001).
CONCLUSION. During dynamic MR defecography, defecation phase imaging yields important additional information on the presence and degree of pelvic floor abnormalities and is therefore an essential component of MR defecographic examinations.

Authors: Pandey Prashant , Pandey K K , Dhanopeeya Ajay , Garg Surya Prakash
Published: October 2020

PURPOSE- All type of plates when used for proximal femur fractures always has chances of mechanical failure due to lack of strength of the construct, but addition of ‘kick stand screw’ has some effects on stability of the construct. Aim of our study is to evaluate the efficacy of kick stand screw in fixation of subtrochanteric fractures using contralateral reversed distal femoral locking plate.
METHOD- 30 patients of subtrochanteric fractures fixed using contralateral reversed distal femoral locking plate. N(1st)=15 fixed without kick stand screw and other N(2nd)=15 fixed using kick stand screw. Calcar screw( Kick Stand Screw) is placed to support calcar region (inferior to the center in AP view and central in Lateral view). In other group screws are placed as oriented in screw holes. Outcome was assessed using Harris Hip Score and VAS score and change in the neck shaft angle is also followed.
RESULT- Union rate was 80% in 1st group as compare to 94% in second group. Mean Harris hip score at the one year follow up was 71.2 in 1st group as compare to 89.2 in 2nd group. Mean Visual analogue scale was 3.2 in first group as compare to 1.6 in second group at final follow up. Mean neck shaft angle at final follow-up was 120 degree in first group as compared to135 degree in second group. Complication- 1st Group of patients had three failures 2 in the form of screw break down and one in the form of plate bending, all three lend up in to varus deformity but the 2nd group had only one failure in the form of plate bending.
CONCLUSION-In our study cases in which kick stand screw was used they showed better mechanical strength and gave better clinical results. So in proximal femur fractures including subtrochanteric fracture fixation ‘kick stand screw’ must be used.

YEAST DYNAMICS AND PHYSIOCHEMICAL EVALUATION OF CARROT WINE PRODUCED WITH Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Authors: BALOGU TOCHUKWU VINCENT`
Published: October 2020

Yeast dynamics and physiochemical evaluation of carrot wine produced with Saccharomyces cerevisiae were assessed. Fresh ripe and health carrot (6kg) were sequentially processed (washed, preheated, blended and sieved) into juice and fermented for 60 days with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Airtight glass jars composed of juice (2000g), distilled water (2000mL) and sugar (200g) at controlled temperature (20 -25 0C) was used for fermentation. Wines were clarified (siphoning), aged (45 days) and pasteurized (500C – 600C) to stop fermentation. Proximate analysis, yeast dynamics, physiochemical and wine qualities were assessed. Result showed that juice extraction process reconstitute nutritional composition of carrot, such that moisture, ash and total carbohydrates increased, while others (fat, crude fiber and crude protein) decreased. A trendy progressive yeast dynamic model of Yeast load = -0.195 (Day) 2 + 1.822 (Day) + 4.566 with coefficient (R² = 0.907) was observed. Fermentation significantly decreased pH and increased total acidity. Observed wine qualities include alcoholic content (7.88 - 9.19%v/v), attenuation (121% - 142%) and calories (0%). Clarification and ageing have diminishing effect on alcohol content. Carrot wine was judged as physically appealing moderate alcoholic beverage, with smooth consistent taste (authors' opinion), and could be modeled with yeast dynamics. Thus this wine is recommended to calories sensitive people.
YEAST IN SOUTHWEST MONSOON RAINWATER
Authors: PAL SHEELA
Published: October 2020

Strong evidence of the presence of bacteria and fungi in the tropospheric boundary layer is available in the literature. We report successful isolation of unique morphotypes of wild ascomycetous yeasts from rainwater samples collected directly in sterile containers, taking extreme care to avoid ambient contamination. Direct and quick visualization of fresh rainwater samples under a phase contrast microscope indicated the sporadic presence of yeast cells. Further confirmation of the presence of yeast was obtained by plating of rainwater on a medium with antibiotics to generate pure colonies. We described their characteristics while molecular identification revealed it as Candida tropicalis. Yeast species  could contribute valuable knowledge about yeast transportation in the atmosphere. However, knowledge is insufficient about the yeast deposited from the atmosphere and its transportation across the atmosphere. We report and discuss these interesting and exciting results which are useful in understanding the microbiological dimension of meteorology and the southwest monsoon rainfall in the light of present discourse on global warming and climate change. We offer a tentative model for a possible source, role, and fate of the yeasts in rainwater.

Published: October 2020

Introduction: Kathmandu valley has its unique bowl shaped topographic features due to which it is highly vulnerable to air pollution. Traffic police personnel (TPP) are at the highest risk of pollution related disease, because they are constantly exposed to the air pollution (vehicular emissions) as the nature of their occupation. The main objective of this study was to assess the mental and physical health problems among traffic police due to air pollution in the selected area of Kathmandu valley.

Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out in Kathmandu Valley among traffic police. Samples were collected from each police station of ring road area. Total sample calculated and collected was 222. Standard questionnaire for symptoms of physical problem, anxiety and stress i.e.ST-George respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ), Hamilton Anxiety rating scale and Perceived stress scale respectively were used to collect the data. Data was entered and analyzed using SPSS v16, with descriptive statistics.

Results: About 73% of traffic police were reported with anxiety while stress related problems were identified among 40.6%. Skin, respiratory and eye problems were the most common physical problems seen among traffic police.

Conclusions: Traffic police in Nepal have both physical and mental health problems associated with air pollution. Hence, future interventions for the effort of reducing such problems should be prioritized, planned and implemented with generation of action plan to minimize the problem.

Published: October 2020

Introduction: Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide. It is preventable by early detection of precancerous lesions by various screening techniques. Considering the importance of the perceptions and practices of the women about the disease and its screening, this study was conducted with an aim to determine the knowledge, attitude and practice of women towards cervical cancer and its screening among Nepalese women visiting a tertiary care institute in Kathmandu.

Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 390 outpatients in the gynaecological outpatient department of Tribhuwan University Teaching Hospital for a span of six months. Data were collected after obtaining ethical clearance from the institutional review board. A structured questionnaire covering the socio-demographic characteristics and knowledge, attitude and practice on cervical cancer and its screening was used.

Results: Among the 390 women who were interviewed, the mean age was 41.9 years, 37% of the respondents had an average knowledge and 16.5% had a good knowledge about cervical cancer and its screening. There was a positive attitude among 70% of the respondents, however the uptake of screening among them was less than 25% only. Embarrassment (72%), pain (71%) and lack of privacy (65.9%) were the main barriers of screening.

Conclusions: Knowledge regarding cervical cancer screening was found to be good and the attitude to undergo screening was positive. However, a significant number of barriers refrain women from seeking this service which is shown by the poor practice for screening.
Delayed Presentation with Anaphylactic Shock following Injection of Anti-Rabies Vaccine Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) in a Patient: A Case Report
Authors: Ranjitkar Neeti , Pant Manish Nath
Published: October 2020

Anaphylaxis is a potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. Virtually all vaccines have the potential to trigger anaphylaxis. There are cases reported with mild systemic reaction but anaphylactic shock after anti-rabies vaccination is rare. Side effects due to allergic reaction to vaccine antigen or the additives have been known for some time. Most of the cases are acute and only few with delayed hypersensitivity are shown to have cell mediated immune response. Once adverse effects occur immediate medical treatment and appropriate change of vaccine and vaccination schedule are of significance.
Study of secondary postrotary nystagmus in adolescents
Authors: Nasretdinova M.T. , Nabiev O.R.
Published: October 2020

When studying the vestibular apparatus of healthy adolescents by the method of electronistagmography after a rotational test, 23 of 36 adolescents revealed secondary nystagmus. Secondary nystagmus was often observed and was more pronounced to the left. Its duration exceeded the duration of primary nystagmus, but the intensity in terms of frequency, amplitude and speed of the slow phase was much less. Secondary nystagmus was closely associated with latent spontaneous nystagmus. The latter has always been accompanied by prolonged secondary nystagmus in the same direction. Detection of prolonged unilateral secondary nystagmus should obviously have the same significance for issues of professional suitability as the detection of latent spontaneous nystagmus.

Published: October 2020

Topicality: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is one of most wide-spread sleep disorders worldwide leading to the strong decrease in the quality of life, occupational and social efficiency of the patients. Golden standard for the management of OSA included CPAP therapy. However, it creates significant inconvenience for patient and has low compliance. Surgical treatment is considered as an alternative but still lucks unified approaches and quality scientific data.
Methodology: Study involved 37 patients with II stage OSA caused by defects of soft palatine and uvula previously incompliance to CPAP that underwent uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) by advanced low traumatic technic. Respiratory polygraphy (RP) was performed before (b) and after (a) operation to estimate the efficacy of procedure. Statistical analysis included body weight (BW), BMI, tital number of apnea episodes (NAE), total number of hypopnea episodes (NHE), percentage of normal sleep (NS) with average for indicators with normal distribution, median values, difference between the groups was evaluated by Wilcoxon signed-rank test with p-value=0.05.
Results: Average age of the patients was 45(SD=13) years. The results were next: BMI(b)=30,2 (SD=2,7); BMI(a)=28,83 (SD=2,96); BW(b)=91,35 (SD=10,21); BW(a)=86,59 (SD=9,86); median NAE(b)=39, median NHE(b)=15; NS(b)=85,32% (SD=10,02); median NAE(a)=18, median NHE(a)=7; NS(a)=96,39% (SD=3,98). Advanced low traumatic UPPP led to the positive changes in of all indicators with high statistical significance (p<0,01).
Conclusions: Advanced UPPP has shown positive effects on the quality of night sleep and respiration in patients incompliant to CPAP therapy. In addition UPPP had led to decrease in bode weight but this point should be followed up longer.
What are the Export Supply Constraints in the ECOWAS Zone?
Authors: Kwami Ossadzifo Wonyra  , Honoré Tenakoua  , Messan Kinvi
Published: October 2020

This paper aims to analyze the constraints to the export supply in ECOWAS countries. The descriptive statistics as well as the gravity model techniques emphasize the weakness of the intra-regional trade in ECOWAS. Firstly, the countries of the zone with a relatively advanced economy, such as Nigeria, strongly participate in intra-regional exports while landlocked countries and small countries are major players in intra-regional imports. This is explained by the lack of diversification and non-complementarity of the product structure of the international trade. Secondly, we notice that the number of exchangeable products influence positively and significantly the participation in international trade as well as the GDP.
Deverbal zero-nominalization and verb classes: Insights from a database
Authors: Iordăchioaia Gianina , , Schweitzer Susanne , Svyryda Yaryna , Buitrago Cabrera Maria Camila
Published: October 2020

We investigate deverbal zero-derived nominals in English (e.g., to walk > a walk) from the perspective of the lexical semantics of their base verbs and the interpretations they may receive (e.g., event, result state, product, agent). By acknowledging that, in the absence of an overt affix, the meaning of zero-nominals is highly dependent on that of the base, the ultimate goal of this study is to identify possible meaning regularities that these nominals may display in relation to the different semantic verb classes. We report on a newly created database of 1,000 zero-derived nominals, which have been collected for various semantic verb classes. We test previous generalizations made in the literature in comparison with suffix-based nominals and in relation to the ontological type of the base verb. While these generalizations may intuitively hold, we find intriguing challenges that bring zero-derived nominals closer to suffix-based nominals than previously claimed.

Nominalization, verbalization or both? Insights from the directionality of noun-verb conversion in French
Authors: Tribout Delphine
Published: October 2020

Nominalization in French can be done by means of conversion, which is characterized by the identity between the base and the derived lexeme. Since both noun→verb and verb→noun conversions exist, this property raises directionality issues, and sometimes leads to contradictory analyses of the same examples. The paper presents two approaches of conversion: derivational and non-derivational ones. Then it discusses various criteria used in derivational approaches to determine the direction of conversion: diachronic ones, such as dates of first attestation or etymology; and synchronic ones, such as semantic relations, noun gender or verb inflection. All criteria are evaluated on a corpus of 3,241 French noun~verb pairs. It is shown that none of them enables to identify the direction of conversion in French. Finally, the consequences for the theory of morphology are discussed.

Authors: Alkhodary A. A.  , Syed Mohamed Aljunid  , Ismail Aniza , Nur A. M.  , Shahar S.
Published: October 2020

Life expectancy from birth is increasing dramatically. Due to this increase, the population of elderly people will increase. Consequently, geriatric related illnesses will increase leading to increased necessity to build up comprehensive and coordinated cost effective health care services appropriate for elderly people. Frailty is not a disease, but rather considered as a syndrome requiring comprehensive and multidisciplinary care approach. It is a prevalent reversible pathological transitional stage between healthy aging and disability. Frailty is associated significantly with increased health care utilization, mortality, and comorbidities such falls, hospitalizations, physical dependence, and poor perception of health. The aim of this review is to compile existing literature on the economic cost of frailty syndrome among elderly people in the recent years. Search queries were constructed to look for articles related to the economic cost of frailty in the electronic databases available at the National University of Malaysia library for articles published between the years 2011 and 2019. The accessed electronic database included New England journal of medicine, Science Direct, SCOPUS, BMJ, Cochrane, and Wiley Online Library.  Articles included in this review when they were original research, participants were defined as frail elderly, manuscripts written in English language, and involved clearly described measures of frailty cost. Among the literature, twenty one articles were found to satisfy the inclusion criteria of the review process. The cost of care for frail elderly was ranging from US $ 8,620 to 29,910 per patient per year. The cost of health care was ranging from US $ 2,540 to 221,400. The health care cost was accounting for 40% to 76% of the total care cost. Hospitalization cost was the highest, it was ranging from US $ 806 to 152,726. Outpatient cost was ranging from US $ 200 to 18,000. Medications cost was ranging from US $ 7 to  3,434 per frail elderly patient per year. Home help cost was ranging from US $ 804 to 19,728 per frail elderly patient per year. In conclusion, frailty is a costly syndrome. It can be considered as a cost effective target for health promoting interventions to contain future elderly cost.

Being in a hospital can be a stressful experience especially to the patients. The importance of design quality as a trigger to patients' satisfaction is becoming a topic of significant relevance as it also impacts the building operation. This study aims to determine the factors influencing the patients' satisfaction toward the interior design quality of inpatient units at public hospitals in Malaysia. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed among 483 inpatients from 5 Obstetrics and Gynaecology wards at public hospitals in the Klang Valley region. The Structural Equation Model (SEM) technique was applied to examine the causal relationship and to test the hypothesis of the patients' satisfaction toward the interior design quality. The results revealed that space planning (β = 0.265), lighting (β = 0.263), furniture (β = 0.243), and color (β = 0.138) have a significantly positive effect on patients' satisfaction toward the interior design quality. Whereas way-finding, safety, air quality and accessibility have no significant effect on the patients' satisfaction. This study concludes that certain qualities of interior design have great impact on patients' satisfaction. The findings proved that revamping the inpatient units' space planning can lead to significant patient experience improvements, while the aspect of accessibility is the least concern to the patients when they stay in the hospital. This study provides input to help designers, architects and hospital planners to evaluate their priorities in planning and designing better hospitals in the future.
