The Importance of Socio-Economic Versus Environmental Risk Factors for Reported Dengue Cases in Java, Indonesia

Background: Dengue is a major mosquito-borne viral disease and an important public health problem. Identifying which factors are important determinants in the risk of dengue infection is critical in supporting and guiding preventive measures. In South-East Asia, half of all reported fatal infections are recorded in Indonesia, yet little is known about the epidemiology of dengue in this country. Methodology/Principal findings: Hospital-reported dengue cases in Banyumas regency, Central Java were examined to build Bayesian spatial and spatio-temporal models assessing the influence of climatic, demographic and socio-economic factors on the risk of dengue infection. A socio-economic factor linking employment type and economic status was the most influential on the risk of dengue infection in the Regency. Other factors such as access to healthcare facilities and night-time temperature were also found to be associated with higher risk of reported dengue infection but had limited explanatory power. Conclusions/Significance: Our data suggest that dengue infections are triggered by indoor transmission events linked to socio-economic factors (employment type, economic status). Preventive measures in this area should therefore target also specific environments such as schools and work areas to attempt and reduce dengue burden in this community. Although our analysis did not account for factors such as variations in immunity which need further investigation, this study can advise preventive measures in areas with similar patterns of reported dengue cases and environmen

Sinarmas Plantation Management has set a relatively new strategy, which is the replanting strategy of palm oil plantations, in order to manage the sustainability of CPO production growth in the future.

From the external aspect of the analysis showed that palm oil plantations market is controlled by a few major players, Indonesia and Malaysia. The CPO industry still projected to be prospective in the near future. Thus, based both on the analysis, the replanting strategy is a feasible option to be taken by Sinarmas Plantation

Tantangan Kroasia Menjadi Anggota Uni Eropa

As the biggest and the most integrated regional organization, European Union attracts the non-members to join them. Croatia is one of the attracted countries. Croatia applied for European Union membership in 2003, and was given the status of candidate country in 2004. In order to become one of the members, Croatia needed to face two challenges.
