Bayesian Estimation in Rayleigh Distribution under a Distance Type Loss Function
Authors: Seal Babulal , Banerjee Proloy , Bhunia Shreya , Ghosh Sanjoy Kumar 
Published: June 2023

Estimation of unknown parameters using different loss functions encompasses a major area in the decision theory. Specifically, distance loss functions are preferable as it measures the discrepancies between two probability density functions from the same family indexed by different parameters. In this article, Hellinger distance loss function is considered for scale parameter λ of two-parameter Rayleigh distribution. After simplifications, form of loss is obtained and that is meaningful if parameter is not large and Bayes estimate of λ is calculated under that loss function. So, the Bayes estimate may be termed as ‘Pseudo Bayes estimate’ with respect to the actual Hellinger distance loss function as it is obtained using approximations to actual loss. To compare the performance of the estimator under these loss functions, we also consider weighted squared error loss function (WSELF) which is usually used for the estimation of the scale parameter. An extensive simulation is carried out to study the behaviour of the Bayes estimators under the three different loss functions, i.e. simplified, actual and WSE loss functions. From the numericalresults it is found that the estimators perform well under the Hellinger distance loss function in comparison with the traditionally used WSELF. Also, we demonstrate the methodology by analyzing two real-life datasets.

Published: June 2023

The digital era has brought a massive impact on business development in Indonesia., However, the Covid-19 pandemic has crushed almost all small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and they are currently trying to stand and rise again in the post-pandemic. This study aims to identify the business development process in SMEs by using digital methods carried out by youth groups in pandemic situations from interactional communication perspectives. The concept used in this study is an interactional communication model with the element of individual meaning toward the social environment and individual field of experience. This research method is descriptive qualitative through focused group discussion (FGD). The result found that from the interactional communication process, the meaning interpreted by the group member toward their social environment was the identification of a number of problems faced by the SME owner. Other than that, there was also the meaning-making about building enterprises by utilizing digital media for marketing, especially in creating a platform for content management. Groupmembers’ different field of experience has brought opportunities to respond to eachother’s problem. There are also opportunities to create a new network and collaboration in searching for a solution to build a business with a digital marketing method.

The current study aims to provide quantitative and qualitative information about the prevalence of dental malocclusions among dental students of Kabul University of Medical Sciences (KUMS) in the orthodontics department of Ali Abad Teaching Dental Clinic that evaluates the relationship of malocclusion between gender and the major causes of malocclusion in society among genders and the tendency of the community toward the treatment of dentoalveolar anomalies. This study was a cross-sectional survey that was done randomly among 133 students, 68 male (51.12%) and 65 female (48.87%), in an age range of 18–25 years old at Kabul University of Medical Sciences, Ali Abad teaching dental clinic faculty of dentistry. show the dental malocclusion classes due to “angle" classification in females in Class I (53.48%), Class II (21.4%), and Class III (23.07%), while in males in Class I (48.33%), Class II (6.66%), and Class III (43.33%). The prevalence rate of crowding was 33% in males and 43% in females. It has been studied and analyzed separately that the most common oral problems in females were dental caries (53.84%). According to our survey (65 female participants), no one had periodontitis, while in males, plaque was at a rate of 28.97%, and the least common was gingivitis (6%), respectively. The occurrence of dental trauma in boys and heredity in girls may be the most important factors for dental malocclusion. Girls were more interested in orthodontic treatments, which may be because they pay more attention to beauty than boys. Moreover, crowding had the highest rate among participants, followed by deep, open bites and edge-to-edge bites.

Published: June 2023

The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between the cranial base, mandible, and hyoid bone in Class II skeletal individuals. The retrospective study included lateral cephalograms of 40 Skeletal Class II subjects divided into maxillary prognathism (n=20) and mandibular retrognathism(n=20) based on Burstone’s N⊥A and N⊥B values. The angular measurements using 10 variables were used to determine the relationship between the cranial base, mandible, and hyoid bone in Class II subjects. Statistical analyses were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 25.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp. An Independent t-test was used to compare the two groups and a p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Post-Hoc Bonferroni was applied to examine any changes among any two groups that were found to differ statistically. NSAr, C3HyD, SArHy, and NSHy angles were measured in both groups. NSAr and NSHy angles showed significance between the two groups of skeletal class II whose p-value &#60;0.05 whereas C3HyD and SArHy angles did not show any significance. The condylar position was anterior in maxillary prognathism compared to mandibular retrognathism of Skeletal Class II. The hyoid bone was positioned forward and upward in maxillary prognathism individuals and downward and backward in mandibular retrognathism individuals belonging to skeletal class II.

To conduct a prospective randomized study comparing the efficiency of four different ligation systems (ELL,SSL,LL,PSL) over the duration of mandibular crowding alleviation.The study was conducted in Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics, Noorul Islam College of Dental Sciences, Neyyattinkara, Trivandrum. The present study evaluated the variations in alignment efficiency of four different ligation systems over the duration of mandibular crowding alleviation in patients during mandibular crowding alleviation. Eighty patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected and equally divided into four groups- Elastomeric ligation (ELL), Stainless steel Ligation (SSL)- active and passive , Leone slide Ligatures (LL).: The mean treatment time for alignment for passive self ligating group (102 days) followed by leone group (128 days), stainless steel (176 days) and elastomeric (224 days) group. Thus the study showed no significant difference in the clinical performance between coventional, self ligating, while PSL performed significantly superior to other groups. From the above equation, during initial phase of orthodontic treatment.self-ligating brackets were more efficient than conventional brackets in anterior alignment, passive space closure, and mandibular incisal inclination.

Published: June 2023

Introduction: Dignity therapy is a brief psychotherapy that can reduce dignity-related distress and improve the quality of life for cancer patients. However, the experience of older patients is comparable to that of those with advanced cancer, little emphasis has been devoted. Aim: To evaluate and summarize the effectiveness of dignity therapy in managing elderly non-cancerous patients

Method: A mixed methods systematic review was conducted and assess their quality using the Joanna Briggs Institute's evaluation tools. 8 databases of literature including Cochrane Library, PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, EMBASE, CINAHL(EBSCO), PsycINFO(OVID), and CBM were searched with search terms of “Dignity therapy” and “elderly”.

Results: 12 studies—3 RCTs, 5 qualitative studies, 2 mixed-methods studies, and 2 cross-sectional studies—out of 1615 studies were screened. Quantitative and qualitative results were separated into groups with quantitative groups containing the dignity-related distress, depression, and quality of life, and qualitative groups including remembrance of the past, meaning of life, pain of illness, and wishes for family members.
Conclusion: Evidence suggests that dignity therapy is beneficial and can be applied to non-cancer patients. The patient's baseline level of distress may affect outcomes, making it more difficult to intervene with patients if they are too distressed, but the effect may be less pronounced if the patient's distress level is low.

Published: June 2023

Introduction: Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder characterized by decreased cognitive function and skills in social relations, inability to carry out self-care, and fulfilling the need for daily activities. The problems that occur in schizophrenic patients do not only affect the patients themselves, but also the families who care for the patients. Families have a burden in caring for schizophrenic patients. Families who are caregivers are vulnerable to stress which can affect their role as family companions. Various adjustments that must be faced in their role as caregivers are often a separate stressor, especially for families who lack adaptive coping skills. So that adaptive coping is needed to deal with stress and improve the psychological well-being of families in caring for schizophrenic patients. This study aims to determine the description of stress and psychological well-being in families who care for schizophrenic patients.

Method: This type of research is quantitative descriptive with a cross-sectional approach, carried out at the Kembaran I Purwokerto Health Center. The number of samples of families caring for schizophrenic patients was 30 using the total sampling technique. The research instrument was the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) questionnaire consisting of 10 items and the Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS) consisting of 42 items. The analysis used is descriptive quantitative.

Result: The results of this study showed that most of the families who cared for schizophrenia patients had moderate stress levels are 28 families (93.3%) and moderate levels of psychological well-being in 25 families (83.3%).

Conclusion: Stressful conditions can affect the level of psychological well-being in families who care for schizophrenic patients. Psychoeducation is needed to help families choose appropriate coping strategies in dealing with stressors and improve their psychological well-being.

Pandemi COVID-19 yang terjadi di Indonesia menyebabkan berbagai perubahan, salah satunya yaitu segi pelayanan kefarmasian di apotek. Pada kondisi pandemi COVID-19, apoteker dituntut tetap melakukan pelayanan kefarmasian secara profesional, yaitu melalui pelayanan telefarmasi. Namun, tidak semua apotek, khususnya di Kota Surabaya, melakukan pelayanan telefarmasi dalam melaksanakan pelayanan kefarmasian. Dengan banyaknya faktor yang kemungkinan mempengaruhi pelaksanaan telefarmasi, maka penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui penerapan layanan telefarmasi di apotek kota Surabaya. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian cross-sectional dengan metode pengambilan sampel accidental sampling dengan kriteria inklusi yaitu apoteker yang berpraktek kerja di apotek di wilayah Kota Surabaya. Terdapat 58 responden yang berpartisipasi dalam penelitian ini. Sebagian besar responden memiliki pengetahuan yang baik terhadap telefarmasi yang ditunjukkan oleh 97,9% pertanyaan telah terjawab dengan benar. Sebanyak 45 responden (77,6%) telah menerapkan pelayanan telefarmasi. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa penerapan telefarmasi lebih dipengaruhi oleh berbagai hambatan dalam melakukan layanan telefarmasi daripada tingkat pengetahuan telefarmasi yang dimiliki oleh responden. Hambatan terbanyak yang dimiliki oleh responden yang telah menerapkan layanan telefarmasi yaitu kesulitan dalam mengidentifikasi atau menilai kondisi pasien (73,3%). Sedangkan hambatan terbanyak yang menyebabkan responden belum menerapkan layanan telefarmasi yaitu kekhawatiran responden terkait informasi obat yang tidak tersampaikan dengan baik dan benar (53,8%). Apoteker di wilayah Kota Surabaya telah memiliki pengetahuan yang baik terhadap telefarmasi. Sehingga, banyak dari apoteker tersebut telah menerapkan telefarmasi. Hambatan dalam penerapan telefarmasi dialami oleh apoteker yang menerapkan telefarmasi dan yang belum menerapkannya.
