Performance of Post Graduate Students Using Multiple Regression Analysis (Case Study)

The present study is focused to analyze the performance of post graduate students through various statistical parameters. In order to estimate the performance of Post Graduate Students, who are enrolled in different fields of Science, Technology and Humanities at Mehran University of Engineering & Technology (MUET) Jamshoro. The modified model of MLR is used to represent the Number of Degree Holders Students (ND) and would be utilized for those who obtained their master’s degree within time duration or well time to be considered as dependent variable,  the initially enrolled student denoted as (NS) number of students and with their obtained CGPA to be considered as independent variable. The result of this research would help to estimate the performance of post graduate students. For this study multiple linear regression model can also be generalized as,.............

Addressing cost and time barriers in chronic disease management through telemedicine: An exploratory research in select low-and middle-income countries

Despite evidence supporting telehealth provision in developed countries, there is limited evidence regarding its economic benefits for patients living in areas where access and cost present major barriers to health care, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This study explores the economic benefits of telemedicine for patients, in terms of cost and times savings, and its potential role in improving chronic disease outcomes. This retrospective cross-sectional study compared telemedicine services with hypothetical in-person consultations, with a focus on patient travel time and travel cost savings. A database containing teleconsultation visits (N = 25,182) conducted at health facilities in remote regions of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, and the Kyrgyz Republic, was analyzed. A two-sample homoscedastic t test was used to determine differences between the two groups. A one-way sensitivity analysis was also conducted, presuming in-person teleconsultations at 90%, 75%, and 50%. The study extracted data from 25,182 teleconsultation visits (12,814 males; 12,368 females). The cumulative patient savings through the program amounted to USD 9,175,132, and 1,876,146 h, or 213.1 years. A significant difference was seen between the two groups in terms of mean time savings (p-valu
