description: Introduction Since the past few decades, transboundary haze from forest fires has become major crises in Southeast Asia and affected public health in Malaysia. Numerous local studies have documented the air pollution and human health impacts, but limited to urban area (Klang Valley) only. This study is to determine the trends of cardiorespiratory mortality, Particulate Matter less than 10ug/m3 (PM10) and meteorological variables by region in Malaysia, which included the haze episodes in 2013 to 2015. Methods This is time series study of trends conducted in north (Kedah), middle (Kuala Lumpur), south (Johor) & east (Pahang) region from year 2013 to 2016.The daily cardiorespiratory mortality (ICD10 J00-J99 & I00-I99) and PM10 concentrations were obtained from Department of Statistics and Department of Environment, from year 2013-2016, respectively. Haze days were defined as PM10 concentrations more than 100µg/m3. A brief description of PM10, cardiorespiratory mortality and their cross correlations functions (CCF) to observe the associations are provided. Results [Refer to Poster]. Conclusion CVD and respiratory mortality rates were highest in North region. Haze episodes in 2013-2015 were obvious in all regions with the middle region being the most affected region with the highest number of haze days. Increases trend of PM10 are found to be consistently associated with an increase of trend observed for cardiorespiratory mortality
Economic growth, barriers and trade liberalization in telecommunications in the APEC region

Subjects: subject: Economics, General.

description: This thesis consists of three research projects on the telecommunications industry in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) countries. These projects deal with, respectively, the relationship between economic growth and telecommunications infrastructure, the measurement of barriers to trade and investment, and the impact of trade and investment liberalization on economic growth. In the first project, I examine the contributions of the telecommunications industry to economic growth in the APEC countries, taking into account country fixed effects and causality between telecommunication variables and income, with four structural equations estimated simultaneously. The findings from this project suggest that: models with fixed effects perform better than those without; models that include cellular mobile phones as a proxy for telecommunications infrastructure outperform those with only fixed lines; countries with lower penetration rates tend to demonstrate a higher impact of telecommunications on aggregate output; network externalities exist in those countries that achieve a penetration rate of up to 50 per cent. Together, these findings suggest that the developing countries may achieve faster economic growth by significantly improving their telecommunications infrastructure. Projects two and three are conducted to test the hypothesis that liberalization of telecommunications market will stimulate investment in telecommunications infrastructure and enhance economic growth. In project two, I construct a set of indices to measure the openness of the telecommunications market in the APEC countries. It is evident that developed economies do not always have higher levels of market liberalization when different instruments such as market access, national treatment and/or regulatory principles are utilized. Some developing economies are more open than their developed counterparts in some aspects. In project three, I use these indices to estimate the likely impact of liberalization on economic growth. I find some evidence that too great a degree of market liberalization may, surprisingly, lower the investment in telecommunications and hence harm the economic growth in developing countries. I estimate that the adverse impact of full trade liberalization on developing countries is about 5.3 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

description: Introduction Community health workers (CHW) are health workers who are trained but do not possess a formal professional certificate, live and work in the community. The Ministry of Health Malaysia had initiated a community-based intervention programme, known as Healthy Community Empowers the Nation or ‘Komuniti Sihat Pembina Negara’ (KOSPEN) where CHWs main task is to conduct non-communicable diseases (NCD) risk factor screening. Methods Data from the “Evaluation of the implementation of KOSPEN programme in Malaysia 2016” was used. Logistic regression analysis was applied to determine factors associated with not performing KOSPEN screening activities by the volunteers. Data analysis was performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. Results [Refer to Poster]. Discussion / Conclusion Volunteers and community health workers have been widely recognised to help in reducing the burden of NCDs in their communities. Sufficient training and resources is needed to facilitate their work. Volunteers who were not trained were not likely to perform screening activities maybe be due to lack of confidence as community volunteers are usually lay persons with little or no medical training. Attendance of training should be a pre-requisite to qualify as a volunteer. Improvement to the training module should done to increase comprehensibility of the modules among the volunteers.

description: This document presents the recommendations developed by the IOC Medical and Scientific Commission and several international federations (IF) on the protection of athletes competing in the heat. It is based on a working group, meetings, field experience and a Delphi process. The first section presents recommendations for event organisers to monitor environmental conditions before and during an event; to provide sufficient ice, shading and cooling; and to work with the IF to remove regulatory and logistical limitations. The second section summarises recommendations that are directly associated with athletes’ behaviours, which include the role and methods for heat acclimation; the management of hydration; and adaptation to the warm-up and clothing. The third section explains the specific medical management of exertional heat stroke (EHS) from the field of play triage to the prehospital management in a dedicated heat deck, complementing the usual medical services. The fourth section provides an example for developing an environmental heat risk analysis for sport competitions across all IFs. In summary, while EHS is one of the leading life-threatening conditions for athletes, it is preventable and treatable with the proper risk mitigation and medical response. The protection of athletes competing in the heat involves the close cooperation of the local organising committee, the national and international federations, the athletes and their entourages and the medical team.

An IRAF-based pipeline for reduction and analysis of archived ROSAT data

Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: Here we describe how IRAF/PROS was used to compute source hardness ratios for the recently published Einstein Catalog of IPC X-ray Sources. This catalog was prepared from the Imaging Proportional Counter (IPC) data of the Einstein X-ray Observatory, which operated in low-earth orbit from 1978 Nov until 1981 May. Before the catalog went to press, it was discovered that a bug in the production processing system had rendered the hardness ratios unreliable. For this reason, it was necessary to generate corrected hardness ratios for inclusion in the catalog. Our corrected hardness ratios were generated for ~4000 tabulated sources using the PI-corrected 'qpoe' files from the IPC event list CDROMs. An IRAF script was written which, given a list of sources, performs spectral extraction and computes the source and background count values needed for the hardness ratio calculation. These values were used as input for a previously-developed maximum likelihood algorithm to compute hardness ratios and errors for the sources. Using existing IRAF commands and tasks, we were able to process a large amount of the data quickly and conveniently. For tasks such as detailed data formatting and file manipulation, however, it was convenient to invoke AWK and Unix scripts. This underscores the desirability of having heterogeneous analysis tools even more readily available to scientific users in a unified software environment.

description: Este estudio investiga las causas de los bajos resultados de España en las pruebas PISA, desde una perspectiva educativa y social, analizada por estudiantes de secundaria en Puertollano. El objetivo principal es identificar factores internos y externos que limitan el rendimiento académico, con énfasis en el currículo, la metodología educativa y las condiciones socioeconómicas. A través de una metodología de análisis comparativo, los estudiantes examinaron modelos educativos de otros países, revisaron datos y realizaron encuestas para evaluar la efectividad del sistema español en el desarrollo de competencias clave. Los principales hallazgos destacan la influencia negativa de un currículo centrado en la memorización y la falta de apoyo en habilidades prácticas como la resolución de problemas. También se identificaron desigualdades socioeconómicas que afectan el desempeño en áreas críticas. El estudio propone estrategias de reforma curricular y mayor personalización en el aprendizaje para mejorar los resultados académicos en España.
Inelastic interactions of 200 GeV and 300 GeV protons with emulsion nuclei.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: subject: Physics, Nuclear.

description: Proton-nucleus interactions, in nuclear emulsion, at incident proton energies of 200 GeV and 300 GeV are studied. The emulsion stacks were exposed with the emulsion surface perpendicular to the beam direction. The results obtained are found to be compatible with those obtained, by scanning along the track of the incident proton, in the horizontally exposed stacks. The inelastic mean-free-path is essentially the same at the two energies: 33.4+/-2.6 cm at 200 GeV 34.6+/-1.8 cm at 300 GeV. The average number of black tracks and the average number of grey tracks are also observed to be the same at both energies: < Nb>=5.9+/-0.4, < N g>=1.7+/-0.2 at 200 GeV and < Nb>=6.1+/-0.3, < Ng>=1.7+/-0.1 at 300 GeV. The average number of shower particles, < ns>, increases from 13.4+/-0.6 at 200 GeV to 15.2+/-0.4 at 300 GeV. < ns> may be given by < n s>=1.85 s1/3, where s is the square of the C.M. energy of the nucleon-nucleon system. It is shown that the ratio of dispersion D to the averagae multiplicity in proton-nucleus collisions is independent of the target nucleus. It is also shown that the multiplicity distribution (in emulsion) obeys the KNO semi-inclusive scaling law in the energy range of 6.2 GeV to 300 GeV. The scaling function applied by Buras et al the proton-proton multiplicity distributions was used. It is argued that the proper quantity that gives the correct A dependence of the production of particles in proton-nucleus collisions is the ratio of created charges in proton-nucleus and proton-proton interactions. The predictions for the average multiplicity and the above mentioned ratio, from various models, are compared with the experimental values. The predictions of the models discussed agree reasonably well with the experimental results. The rapidity distribution provides a crucial test for the models considered. The models' prediction that there should be no difference between proton-nucleus and protonproton distributions, in the foreward region of the rapidity (in this case ln tan thetaL/2) plots is verified. It is concluded that with extensive data using various nuclear targets, it should be possible to eliminate some of the models since the models differ in the prediction of the boundary of the region where the excess number of particles (compared with proton-proton distribution at the same energy should appear.

description: Introduction Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are among the leading causes of death and contributes to approximately 70% of all deaths worldwide. Elevated body mass index (BMI) is recognized as a major risk factor for NCDs. Several studies have determined various BMI cut-offs for classifying dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes or at least one cardiovascular risk factor (CRF) 2,3,4 . • For Malaysian adults, the proposed optimal BMI cut-off points for the risk of diabetes mellitus, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia varied from 23.34kg/m2 to 24.14kg/m2 for men and from 24.04kg/m2 to 25.4kg/m2 for women3 . However, they were determined based on data collected in 2006, more than a decade ago. Objective The aim of this study is to verify the sensitivity and specificity of these cut-off points for the Malaysian adult population using data from a recent national survey Methods [Refer to Results]. Results The total number of respondents aged ≥ 18 years was 10,472 (4785 males and 5687 females). Majority aged between 31 to 59 years. 51.0% Malay, 21.5% Chinese, 11.1% Other bumiputras, 10.6% other ethnic groups and 5.8% Indian. The prevalence of BMI above 23.0 kg/m2 was 66.0% (BMI range from 14kg/m2 to 55kg/m2). Discussion / Conclusion Our findings indicate that the proposed BMI cut-offs (23.3 to 24.1 kg/m2 for men and 24.0 to 25.4 kg/m2 for women) correctly identified more than 67% of those with NCDs and correctly identified more than 39% of those without. The BMI cut-off points proposed by the previous study showed acceptable sensitivity but relatively low specificity. Therefore, we suggest that the use of these proposed BMI cut-offs for classification of overweight among Malaysian adults should be revised periodically to increase its sensitivity and specificity for the NCDs screening and weight management programs.

description: The sanctorale of the Ruthenian (Kyivan) Catholic Church, as represented by the 1929 Lviv Liturgicon of Metropolitan Andrei Sheptytsy counted six saints of ancient Kyivan Rus' (tenth-eleventh centuries), three Lithuanian martyrs of the later medieval Kyivan Metropolitanate (fourteenth century), and Josaphat, martyred in 1623 for the cause of Union with Rome, canonized by Rome in 1867. In addition, there were Cyril and Methodius, and Parasceve (of Tarnovo, Bulgaria)---without the geographical identification. Previously there had also been authoritative Ruthenian Catholic calendars with only Josaphat. At the same time, the Ruthenian Orthodox calendar developed in the seventeenth century a Slavic sanctorale of many dozen, sometimes close to a hundred Slavic saints. In the course of a general revision of the Ruthenian liturgical books---the Recensio Ruthena (RR) editions (1940-1952), performed by the Congregation for the Eastern Church at the request of the Ruthenian bishops---the RR Commission admitted that from the historical perspective, and in the eyes of the Orthodox, this was a severe distortion of the Ruthenian sanctorale, and resolved to "restore to the Ruthenians their ancient saints." The present study investigates the deliberation process behind the RR Slavic sanctorale on two levels. First, it researches the motivations, the principles, and the sources of the work of the RR Commission on the basis of hitherto unpublished archival material---the two principal source documents of the Commission: the Osservatzioni, or preliminary commentary and suggestions prepared by Korolevskij, and the Minutes of the sessions of the RR Commission. Second, in order to fully appreciate the choices and the work of the RR Commission, the present study surveys both the Western theological discussion on the question of Eastern Slavic saints, and the development of diverse positions in the Ruthenian (and Russian) Catholic Church to these questions, whether in theological speculation or liturgical practice.

description: This paper presents the design and construction of a Class A audio amplifier aimed at increasing the voltage of audio signals using discrete components, including transistors, capacitors, and resistors. The amplifier is powered by a 9V battery and is designed to operate effectively within a frequency range of 500 Hz to 10 kHz.The objectives of the project include the implementation of a feedback network to achieve a closed-loop voltage gain of 100 (40 dB), ensuring sufficient power output to drive an 8Ω speaker while minimizing noise and distortion. The design employs a common-emitter configuration with three stages of amplification, utilizing RC coupling between stages to amplify only AC signals and block DC components.The feedback loop is crucial for stabilizing the overall voltage gain, thereby enhancing the amplifier's bandwidth. The circuit operates on a battery current of 4-8 mA, providing an output power of approximately 600 mW. This output is sufficient for delivering audible sound levels comparable to those produced by mobile phones or MP3 players.This study contributes to the field of audio electronics by providing insights into the practical implementation of audio amplification circuits and the application of discrete components in achieving desired performance specifications.

description: The stereoselectivity of isotopic exchange by the diastereotopic methylene protons was examined for two ketones: (a) the conformationally rigid biarylcycloheptadienone, 16; (b) the conformationally rigid tricycloketone, Twistan-4-one, 17. (a) The diastereotopic alpha-keto methylene protons in 16 were found to undergo H/D exchange with a rate ratio of 63:1 in methanol-0-d with sodium methoxide as base, the proton whose C-H bond is perpendicular to the direction of the C=0 bond exchanging fastest. The ratio decreased to 34:1 with sodium phenoxide base and 7:1 with sodium 2,6-dimethylphenoxide as base (both in methanol-0-d), showing that the more labile proton is in the more sterically hindered position. The effect of internal return was evaluated qualitatively by measuring the rate ratio for H/D exchange in the presence of crown ether. No change in stereoselectivity was observed. Also, the rate ratio for the back exchange (D/H) was measured as 12:1, a change consistent with the absence of internal return. Attempts to quantitatively evaluate the effect of internal return by measurement of the primary isotope effects (kH/kT and kD/kT) gave unacceptable results, probably due to the large effect of experimental errors on the calculated internal return vales. The absence of internal return was therefore assumed. However, these primary isotope effects along with the D/H exchange ratio of 12:1 were used to estimate the kH/kD values and solvent isotope effects at the two diastereotopic positions. It was found that the two protons exhibit different primary isotope effects (kH/k D) and different solvent isotope effects. F or the fast position, kH/kD = 3.8, kMeOD/kMeOH = 2.6. For the slow positions, kH/kD = 2.3, kMeOD/kMeOH = 1.2. These results are consistent with the two protons having different exchange mechanisms and therefore with the stereoselectivity of H/D exchange being due to the stereoelectronic control effect. The secondary isotope effect for the fast exchanging position was measured as i = 1.18. (b) The diasteriotopic alpha-keto methylene protons in 17 were found to undergo H/D exchange with a rate ratio of 300:1in methanol-0-d with sodium methoxide as base and 340:1 with sodium phenoxide as base. It was therefore concluded that the diastereotopic protons were in sterically similar environments. Assuming no internal return and the same secondary and solvent isotope effects which had been measured directly for 16, the measured rate ratio for back exchange (D/H) for 17 of 52:1 was used to estimate KH/kD = 5.8 for the fast position and kH/kD = 2.9 for the slow position. These results are again consistent with differing mechanisms for exchange at the two diastereotopic positions and therfore with stereoelectronic control as the factor responsible for the high exchange ratio for these protons.

description: Introduction The first Malaysian case of covid-19 was the ninth case reported at the beginning of February 2020 . This 42-year-old businessman had a travel history to Singapore from 16th to 23rd January 2020 for an International Conference. He was also the index case of the first local transmission cluster in Malaysia . Malaysia was free of COVID-19 cases for 11 days before the second wave of the disease arrived late February 2020 . Most of the early cases in the second wave were initially imported and sporadic . However, a case notified on 28th February 2020 to Petaling District Health Office (DHO) in the Selangor State, Malaysia, was later found to link to a cluster from a business corporate in Malaysia . During this time, there was no specific guidelines from the Ministry of Health Malaysia for the corporate companies on handling the outbreak. Here, we reported the detection and management of this COVID-19 first business cluster in Malaysia by Petaling DHO. Objective This study aimed to report the detection and management of COVID-19 from the first and one of the largest clusters linked to a business corporate in Malaysia from Petaling District, Selangor Material and Methods This is a descriptive study analysis that was conducted from the surveillance data of Petaling district health office (DHO) notified on 28th February 2020 until 22nd of March 2020. All cases and contacts were identified through surveillance, epidemiological investigation, and laboratory investigation. The network graph was done using the software R and the epidemiology curve was done using Microsoft Excel. Results and Discussion From 28th February to 22nd March 2020, a total of 1536 people were traced by Petaling DHO linked to the cluster. The total number of positive COVID-19 cases from this cluster was 126 out of 1536 which come to an attack rate of 8.2% 63 of them, which was 50% of the total number in the cluster, lived in Petaling District. Other positive cases were transferred to the respective districts according to their house addresses. Conclusion Cluster of COVID-19 in this workplace setting was curbed quickly, within three weeks, due to the efficient control efforts by the Petaling DHO with mutual co-operation with the employer and other related DHO. They did all the necessary measures to prevent the outbreak from getting worse and bigger.
