The use of Linear Statistical Model to Predict Tumour Size of Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a type of cancer in the large intestine (colon), the lower part of our digestive system. Most cases of colon cancer begin as small non-cancerous clumps of cells called adenomatous polyps. The aim of this quantitative study is to identify the determinants of patient who have colorectal cancer symptoms in general hospital. The sample study included 180 patients who have colorectal cancer aged above 21 years old and received treatment at general hospital in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Secondary data were obtained through doctors and nurses using cluster sampling. Based on the results of multiple linear regressions (MLR), 11 predictor variables were significant to predict tumour size of colorectal cancer. The statistical measurement error used were mean square error (MSE), root mean square error values (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE)

ACCUMULATION OF SELENIUM IN AQUATIC ORGANISMS OF THE CASPIAN SEA

The question of establishing the levels of selenium accumulation in fish Marine has consistently attracted the attention of researchers. This is due, no doubt, with a surprisingly high concentrations of trace elements in fishmuscle mass compared with terrestrial animals and the wide spread lack of public consumption of selenium in most countries of the world. By the ability to accumulate selenium species investigated can be arranged in series: carp < rudd < pike Kutum < perch < carp < mullet < silverside < pike < roach < sprat common < gobies < sprat anchovy << sturgeon. It is known that the main source of selenium to fish is the food, although there is some element passes through the gills during respiration. Comparing the results with data accumulation of selenium muscle tissue of fish from different regions of the world indicates the absence of express selenodefitsita in the Caspian Sea
