Institutional Approach to E-commerce: An Integrated Framework for Pakistan

Pakistan needs to knit itself into global information economy in order to ensure economic development. E-commerce is the essential tool through which this objective can be met. Currently, the economy is in a transition, the span of which needs to be shortened in order to meet the global challenges in the coming years. An institutional approach is essential to develop e-commerce. An appropriate institutional framework will shorten the time span of the transition period and will ensure a smooth transition to information economy. It will provide an effective and efficient use of the existing institutional infrastructure and development of new institutions. It calls for close coordination between the government, industry, and international organisations.

Pengembangan Catu Daya Presisi Display Digital Untuk Praktikum Fisika Listrik Dinamis

This study aims to generate power supply precision instrument digital display a valid and practical for students of physics 3rd semester of the school year 2014/2015. This research includes development research (research development) of the power supply circuit that has been common there are some drawbacks, namely, the output of output that does not fit, there is still AC voltage on the output value, the output voltage is unstable, so that the results of the lab basic physics 2 be not in accordance with the results of the theory. The addition of the diode bridge circuit helps perfect output voltage into DC, the capacitors in the circuit capacity was raised as a reliever ripple or ripples form to obtain a stable DC voltage value, for a voltage stabilizer is also used IC9815 surge protector. Limited trial conducted in STAIN Batusangakar to 26 students. Based on the results of data analysis has been carried out can be summarized as follows: (1) The results of the validation tool precision power supply digital display is very valid. (2) The results of trials carried out showed that the practicalities have met the criteria that can be used and implemented in a lab with practicality very practical value

Modeling Optimal Control for Mosquito and Insecticide

In this paper we consider a mathematical model of mosquito and insecticide. The aim of this model is to reduce the amount of mosquitoes in the ponds and swamps. Mosquitos are the main cause of malaria disease. We used the optimal spray strategies to minimize the amount of mosquito, we work optimal control framework by applying the Pontryagin's Maximum Principle. A characterization of the optimal control via adjoint variables was established. We obtained an optimality system that we sought to solve numerically by using MATLAB

A Mosaic of Risk Factors for Female Infertility in Pakistan

Background: To identify different risk factors for female infertility including hormonal imbalance (FSH, LH and Prolactin) Methods: Infertile women were enrolled in this prospective study. A questionnaire was designed to collect information regarding socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of the study participants. Serum FSH, LH and Prolactin levels were estimated between 1-5 days of post menstrual period. Independent sample t- test, Spearman correlation and multivariate logistic regression were performed to find the association of different risk factors with female infertility. Results: Highest percentage (57.7%) of infertile females was in the age bracket of 26 to 35 years. The prevalence of primary infertility was 60.4% . Mean levels of LH and prolactin were significantly higher in women with primary infertility compared to those with secondary infertility. No significant difference was observed in the mean level of FSH . A significant positive correlation was found between infertility and age , marital history and infertility duration. On multivariate logistic regression analysis women with secondary infertility were more likely to be hypertensive(OR=2.126,95%CI:1.020-4.474, p-value0.044), using contraceptive OR = 5.876, 95% CI: 2.491–13.86, p-value .001),have hyperprolactenemia (OR=1.289,95%CI:0.960-1.996,p-value0.001) and have marital history of more than 16 years OR=12.166,95%CI:5.048-29.322, p-value0.001). Conclusion:Highest prevalence of infertility was seen in the age group of 26-35 years. Advanced age, hypertension, hyperprolactemia, use of contraceptive and marital history of more than 16 years are significantly associated with female infertilit

Large-scale nonlinear dimensionality reduction for network intrusion detection

International audienceNetwork intrusion detection (NID) is a complex classification problem. In this paper, we combine classification with recent and scalable nonlinear dimensionality reduction (NLDR) methods. Classification and DR are not necessarily adversarial, provided adequate cluster magnification occurring in NLDR methods like $t$-SNE: DR mitigates the curse of dimensionality, while cluster magnification can maintain class separability. We demonstrate experimentally the effectiveness of the approach by analyzing and comparing results on the big KDD99 dataset, using both NLDR quality assessment and classification rate for SVMs and random forests. Since data involves features of mixed types (numerical and categorical), the use of Gower's similarity coefficient as metric further improves the results over the classical similarity metric

Overview of Disaster Preparedness and Response Strategies Regarding COVID-19 Crisis Control for Public Safety and Health Protection

The ongoing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has incurred tremendous human, social, and economic costs, globally. Major economies across all continents are struggling to contain the COVID-19 pandemic and to flatten the infected curve.  This study focuses on critically reviewing the strategies opted globally to control COVID-19. The main objective of this paper is to overview the pandemic conditions, responses of the public, and actions of the governments with  the  aim to  highlight  the  importance  of  public health  preparedness  and  risk  management  strategies. The current study    uses    an    organized    method    of    locating,    assembling, summarizing, and evaluating the literature on COVID-19 control strategies adopted in different countries. It overviews the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic in the countries hardest hit by it. The study uses the systemic literature review method to overview, summarize, and organize the literature regarding COVID-19 spread control strategies. A comprehensive Disaster Management and Response System (DMRS) strategy can be productive in limiting the pandemic spread and may also help to flatten the curve. The current study,  based  on  the  experiences of different  countries,  frames  a DMRS  strategy  to  contain  COVID-19  which  includes immediate government intervention, early recognition of the crisis, removal of cognitive  and confirmation biases,  political  and  religious biases, consensus development,  establishment  of a central  command  and control   center,   public   engagement,   integration   of   institutional functioning  using  ICT,  maintaining the medical  supply  chain, limiting  public  mobility  and  mass  gathering,  practicing  social distancing,    quarantining    and    isolation,    clear    and    effective communication for information dissemination, massive testing, and the use of ICT for information sharing, alerting, contact tracing and surveillance
