Barriers and success factors for implementation and adoption of healthcare information systems in developing countries:a systematic literature review

Abstract. Developing countries often struggle to implement sustainable healthcare information systems (HIS) due to poor government policy and technological legacy. Bangladesh is a prime example where a large number of patients are deprived of proper healthcare simply because their data is fragmented and not digitally recorded. Several researchers have shown how standard healthcare systems in hospitals can reduce the complexity of patient management, thus creating room for serving more patients at the same time. Such standard systems can dramatically improve the scenario for developing countries. This thesis gives an overview of key barriers that is hindering developing countries to implement such HIS. It also accumulates the success factors to overcome the issues. This thesis used a systematic literature review (SLR) to analyze the relevant literature in the field of information systems. A review protocol was developed to conduct the SLR. Relevant studies were collected from three databases, IEEE Xplore, Ebsco Databases, ScienceDirect. The initial search resulted in 4014 studies. The search was further refined and through a process of selection using inclusion and exclusion criteria, 19 relevant primary studies were reviewed to answer the research questions. This study identified 24 barriers which have been grouped into six categories, and 19 success factors, grouped into four categories. The results show that HIS implementation in developing countries is hindered due to the lack of infrastructure, lack of education and awareness, lack of financial supports, cultural and political issues, resistance and support unwillingness, and lack of system quality. The findings also brought success factors as suggestions for successful implementation of sustainable HIS. The study found that utilization of resources to be most significant success factor which influences the successful HIS implementation

Analysis and Review of Mathematical Concepts in Quantum Computation

The basic principle behind quantum computation is that quantum properties can be used to represent data and perform operations on these data. Mathematics lies at the heart of quantum computation and it is needed in every aspect of the research and development of quantum computation. In this paper we have presented mathematical concepts that are closely related to quantum computation and their relation to quantum mechanics in a way which is innovative and very easy to comprehend. Most of the mathematical concepts presented in this paper are deduced from the postulates of quantum mechanics and linear algebra. Keywords: Quantum computation, quantum mathematics, quantum gate, quantum operator, reversible computing, parallel computing

New Algorithm For Detection of Spinal Cord Tumor using OpenCV

The spinal cord one of the most sensitive and significant parts of the human body lies protected inside the spine the backbone and contains bundles of nerves Any minor problem in the spinal cord can cause debilitation of internal and external functions of the human body One of the complications in the spinal cord is tumor - abnormal growth of tissue In this project we present a new algorithm based on OpenCV to detect spinal cord tumors from MRI sagittal image without human intervention The new algorithm can detect tumor-like substances adjacent to the spinal cord Tests carried out on spinal cord MRI images 33 cervical spinal images showed approximately 90 91 of accuracy rate in detecting tumor

An Assessment to Human Perception to the Origin of Coronavirus by the Impact of Climate Change and Preventative Management of Pandemic Coronavirus COVID-19

On 12 January 2020, the WHO confirmed that a novel coronavirus was the cause of a respiratory illness in a cluster of people in Wuhan City, China. The aims of the study to assess the human perception to the origin of Coronavirus with relation to nature and find out preventative management about coronavirus. Primary data was collected for analyzing some factors regarding the Coronavirus microorganism formed by the impact of climate change. Primary data was collected through an online questionnaire survey. An online questionnaire survey is used for human perception for taking public opinion about the origin of Coronavirus and preventative management which are conducted in Bangladesh. SPSS software is used for Linear Regression analysis and correlation with some variables. A total of three variables were considered in the model estimation of which are dependent variables Coronavirus microorganism formed by the impact of climate change and independent variables such as Coronavirus microorganism formed by the impact of environmental pollution, Coronavirus microorganism formed by the impact of global heat and Coronavirus microorganism originated by the sources of the impact of ice melting polar region. From the analysis, it is found that the Coronavirus microorganism formed by the impact of climate change that makes a unique and statistically significant contribution to the prediction. Among 200 respondents, about 70% of peoples said “Maybe” Coronavirus microorganism formed by the impact of climate change, and it’s some factor. It is also found from the correlation analysis that the epidemic effects of COVID-19 will high on Bangladesh, if immigrant persons come, if Curfew doesn’t issue, if peoples are not conscious, if peoples are not properly using mask and hand gloves, if they are not maintaining social distance and lock down rules. In the finding that, in the polar region, there are many ice stacks where thousands of years ago, the animals are dead but the virus and bacteria are in a state of sleep. As the heat increases, all glaciers and permafrost start to melt in the Polar region. As a result, many types of viruses, bacteria are starting to live. These viruses including Coronavirus will be mixed with different environmental elements such as water, biodiversity. This will easily affect biodiversity and other animals including humans. Above all Climate change may play a significant role in the transmission of many infectious diseases including Coronavirus. Community responses are important for outbreak management during the early phase of major preventive options

A 15-year-old boy with huge facial swelling, recurrent severe epistaxis, progressive proptosis, nasal obstruction and impaired hearing on right side

This article has no abstract. The first 100 words appear below: A 15-year-old male hailing from Khagrachhari was admitted into the department with the complaints of swelling on the right side of face for 10 months with recurrent severe epistaxis, progressive proptosis, unilateral nasal obstruction and impairment of hearing for two months. On extraoral examination, there was a firm non-tender, nonmobile, fixed swelling on the right side of cheek causing facial asymmetry measuring about 10 × 12 cm in size extending from upper eyelid to middle of the right cheek supero-inferiorly and pre-auricular area to the medial wall of nose postero-anteriorl
