Relations Source of Drinking Water, Privy Family and Waste Water Sewer with Genesis Diarrhea in Sub-District Pangkalan Kuras District Pelalawan

Diarrhea is a bowel movement (defecation) by the number of stools more than usually (normal 100-200 ml per hour stool), with fecal liquid or semi-liquid (semi-solid), can also be accompanied by increased defecation. Based on data from the District Health Center Drain Base diarrheal disease is a disease with the highest order of 3 to Pangkalan Kuras people suffered in 2012 to 1645 events. This study aims to determine the relationship of drinking water treatment, the condition of latrines, and SaluranPembuangan Wastewater (SPAL) and the incidence of diarrhea in the community naturally Drain Base in 2013.This study is analitik kuantitatif with cross sectional design of the study, carried out at the Puskesmas Pangkalan Kuras with respondent households totaling 182 people. Data collection is by interview and observation with questionnaires, sampling techniques in this study is random sampling with sampling sytematic method. The results showed that the close relationship between the treatment of river water into drinking water (OR = 2.426), treatment of well water into drinking water (OR = 3.205), with the condition of the family latrine (OR = 3.755), and the condition of SPAL (OR = 3.588) and the incidence of diarrhea in Pangkalan Kuras. This result was obtained through chi-square analysis with 95% confidence leve

SISTEM PENDUKUNG KEPUTUSAN PEMBERIAN KREDIT MENGGUNAKAN METODE ELECTRE (Studi Kasus : Koperasi Kredit Immaculata)

The Immaculata Credit Cooperative is a cooperative organization whose mission is to advance the Immaculata Credit Cooperative as a reliable, independent and professional microfinance empowerment institution. One of the cooperative sectors is the credit sector because credit is a source of financing for cooperatives. Lending at the Immaculata Credit Cooperative is currently still subject to manual analysis by the credit committee, so that an inaccurate determination of credit granting can increase the number of bad or default loans. Therefore the researcher proposes to build a decision support system using the electre method where the output of the electre method calculation is in the form of ranking so that it can determine recommended prospective customers by looking at 5 assessment criteria including income, length of time to return, occupation, age, and collateral. The results of this study are in the form of desktop-based applications that can make it easier for cooperatives, especially credit committees, to determine which customers to recommend

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Gastrointestinal Disorders in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: Results from a Population-Based Survey in Olmsted County, Minnesota

Objectives. To compare the prevalence of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) versus non-RA subjects and to describe determinants of GI disorders in RA. Methods. The bowel disease questionnaire was completed by RA and non-RA subjects. RA patients also completed the health assessment questionnaire (HAQ). Results. The study responders included 284 RA and 233 non-RA subjects. Abdominal pain/discomfort, postprandial fullness, nausea, and stool leakage were significantly more common in RA versus non-RA (odds ratios [OR] = 1.8; 1.9; 4.0; 8.2, resp.). The use of laxatives, proton pump inhibitors, NSAIDs, acetaminophen, and narcotics was more commonly reported in RA versus non-RA (OR = 2.0; 1.7; 3.0; 2.0; 1.9, resp.). Age < 60 and HAQ ≥ 1 were associated with dyspepsia, irritable bowel syndrome, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and GI symptom complex overlap in RA. Conclusion. Several upper and lower GI disorders were significantly more prevalent in RA versus non-RA subjects. Age <60 and physical function impairment (HAQ ≥ 1) were associated with GI disorders in RA

What makes brands achieve iconic status?

We propose that brands do not achieve iconic status by chance. This article focuses on how brands manage iconic status effectively. Drawing on an exploratory study of iconic brands, we identify a brand's ability to inspire consumers and connect with them on a personal level as well as its visual identity and presence in consumers' mind as critical elements of brand status. Consumers' perceptions of a sample of brands were investigated through in-depth interviews, followed by the examination of these brands' activities through case-study analyses. The alignment between brand strategies and the relevant features highlighted by consumers was then assessed. A comprehensive framework for achieving iconicity is presented and discussed.Working Pape

DeMalFier: Detection of Malicious web pages using an effective classifier

The web has become an indispensable global platform that glues together daily communication, sharing, trading, collaboration and service delivery. Web users often store and manage critical information that attracts cybercriminals who misuse the web and the internet to exploit vulnerabilities for illegitimate benefits. Malicious web pages are transpiring threatening issue over the internet becaus

ReP-ETD: A Repetitive Preprocessing technique for Embedded Text Detection from images in spam emails

Email service proves to be a convenient and powerful communication tool. As internet continues to grow, the type of information available to user has shifted from text only to multimedia enriched. Embedded text in multimedia content is one of the prevalent means for delivering messages to content viewers. With the increasing importance of emails and the incursions of internet marketers, spam has become a major problem and has given rise to unwanted mails. Spammers are continuously adopting new techniques to evade detection. Image spam is one such technique where in embedded text within images carries the main information of the spam message instead of text based spam. Currently, image spam is evaluated to be roughly 50% of all spam traffic and is still on the rise, thus a serious research issue. Filtering mails is one of the popular approaches used to block spam mails. This work proposes new model ReP-ETD (Repetitive Pre-processing technique for Embedded Text Detection) for efficiently and accurately detecting spam in email images. The performance of the proposed ReP-ETD model has been evaluated across the identified parameters and compared with other existing models. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model

Toroidal optical dipole traps for atomic Bose-Einstein condensates using Laguerre-Gaussian beams

We theoretically investigate the use of red-detuned Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) laser beams of varying azimuthal mode index for producing toroidal optical dipole traps in two-dimensional atomic Bose-Einstein condensates. Higher-order LG beams provide deeper potential wells and tighter confinement for a fixed toroid radius and laser power. Numerical simulations of the loading of the toroidal trap from a variety of initial conditions is also given.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.

Targeting Src in endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer

The SRC proto-oncogene is commonly overexpressed or activated during cancer development. Src family kinase inhibitors are approved for the treatment of certain leukemias, and are in clinical trials for the treatment of solid tumors. Src signaling is activated in endometriosis, a precursor of clear cell and endometrioid subtypes of epithelial ovarian cancers (OCs). We examined the expression of phosphorylated Src (Src-pY416) in 381 primary OC tissues. Thirty-six percent of OCs expressed Src-pY416. Src-pY416 expression was most common in endometriosis-associated OCs (EAOCs) (P=0.011), particularly in clear cell OCs where 58.5% of cases expressed Src-pY416. Src-pY416 expression was associated with shorter overall survival (log rank P=0.002). In vitro inhibition of Src signaling using 4-amino-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-7-(dimethylethyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (PP2) resulted in reduced anchorage-independent and -dependent growth, and in three-dimensional cell culture models PP2 disrupted aggregate formation in Src-pY416-positive but not in Src-pY416-negative cell lines. These data suggest that targeting active Src signaling could be a novel therapeutic opportunity for EAOCs, and support the further pre-clinical investigation of Src family kinase inhibitors for treating OCs expressing Src-pY416
