The Impact

Prevention and control of influenza epidemics are major challenges for public health care services. Early identification of flu outbreak is an important step towards implementing effective disease interventions for reducing mortality and morbidity in human populations. Indeed, health officials need a real geo-making tool for monitoring and prediction. The aim of the current study is to discuss a novel spatiotemporal tool for monitoring and predicting the phenomenon of the seasonal influenza epidemic spread in the human population using multiple regression analysis. The suggested tool is mainly based on three sub-systems. It allows generating simulation data by the use of a simulation system, integrating data sources in a data warehouse (DW) system and performing a specific online analysis Spatial On-Line Analytical Processing (SOLAP). Our proposal enables also to illustrate evolution of disease through visualizations in time and space. It can examine social network effects to better understand the topological structure of social contact and the impact of its properties. A regression analysis is performed on the influenza epidemic to examine the main factors influencing flu incidence number and therefore to predict and track influenza epidemic.

The Impact

Due to the limitations in the verifiability of individual identity, migrant workers have encountered some obstacles in access to public health care services. Residence permits issued by the Chinese government are a solution to address the health care access inequality faced by migrant workers. In principle, migrant workers with residence permits have similar rights as urban locals. However, the validity of residence permits is still controversial. This study aimed to examine the impact of residence permits on public health care services. Data were taken from the China Migrants Dynamic Survey (CMDS). Our results showed that the utilization of health care services of migrant workers with residence permits was significantly better than others. However, although statistically significant, the substantive significance is modest. In addition, megacities had significant negative moderating effects between residence permits and health care services utilization. Our research results emphasized that reforms of the household registration system, taking the residence permit system as a breakthrough, cannot wholly address the health care access inequality in China. For developing countries with uneven regional development, the health care access inequality faced by migrant workers is a structural issue.

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact and the electronic service quality of the national zakat management information system (SIMBA) on the national zakat collection. This paper uses a multiple regression analysis in its explorative attempt to illustrate the impact of SIMBA implementation on the national zakat collection. It shows that SIMBA is positive and significantly impact the national zakat collection as well as the human development index that is used as a proxy for the human resource management quality of zakat institutions in the respective city. Nonetheless, the population is negative and significant to the zakat collection as endemic poverty and reluctance to pay zakat are indicated as the reasons. Moreover, this study has succeeded in adapting and conducting e-service quality survey to zakat information system realm. All the tests prove that the instrument in this study has a high degree of reliability and validity. The results show that some of the demographic factors significantly impact the perceived performance of SIMBA. Multiple regression analysis that is conducted in this study shows that e-service quality dimension is positive and significant towards SIMBA’ overall quality, perceived value, and loyalty intention. This study contributes to the zakat management system literature, especially in the impact of the national zakat information system, which is pivotal in enhancing zakat collection and poverty alleviation program funded by zakat.

The Impact

Stress and depression are representative of the mental health problems of university students worldwide. This cross-sectional study explored the moderating effect of mindfulness on the influence of stress on depression according to the degree of life stress. The participants were 738 university students in years 2–4 in five 4-year universities in South Korea. Depression was positively correlated with stress and negatively with mindfulness at a statistically significant level. In multiple regression analysis, stress was found to have an effect by increasing depression, and mindfulness by relieving depression. In the moderated multiple regression analysis, mindfulness had a moderating effect on the impact of stress on depression only in low-stress groups, showing that the interaction of stress with mindfulness was significantly negative (β = −0.11, t = −2.52, p = 0.012) and the inclusion of this interaction significantly increased the explanatory power for depression variation (F change 6.36, p = 0.012) in the full model. In conclusion, we suggest considering stress levels in the development of mindfulness-based intervention strategies to effectively manage the depression of university students.

A role-conflict approach was employed to explore the impact of perceived frequency of conflict between caregiving and other obligations on the quality of relationships between daughters and their care-receiving mothers. Frequency of conflict between caregiving and responsibilities as a wife, mother, and paid and unpaid worker was assessed. Daughters reported relatively infrequent conflict between caregiving and other obligations. A multiple regression analysis revealed that daughters who reported frequent conflict between their obligations as caregivers and their obligations as wives had poorer relationships with their mothers. The findings emphasize the importance of a supportive spouse for married caregivers.

Tax revenue is one of important government’s sources of revenue and the taxation system vary across countries. Malaysia went through the paradigm shift by employing the self-assessment system (SAS) on 2001 where responsibility of calculating taxes had shifted successfully from the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRBM) to taxpayers. Since then, the voluntary tax compliance through SAS in Malaysia has been paying a greater role in meeting the statutory tax obligations and collection, effectively and efficiently. The study is aimed to examine the ethical, moral, religious and cultural background considerations on individual voluntary tax compliance in Malaysia by engaging quantitative research approach by utilising 200 valid questionnaire from respondents who are the individual taxpayer in Malaysia. Multiple regression analysis conducted to identify the effect of ethicality, morality, religiosity and cultural background on the individual voluntary tax compliance in Malaysia. Findings shows that all the variables have significant positive relationship, however the multiple regression analysis proven that ethicality and religiosity have strong significant effect on the individual tax compliance behaviour and on the other hand, morality and cultural background doesn’t have significant effect on individual tax compliance behaviour.

Purpose – though the global financial crisis is well behind us several EU countries continue to experience problems with public finance stability and need to cope with the consequences of high public debt. The purpose of the article is to find the relationship between government debt and of public finance stability in Lithuania. Research methodology – in order to achieve the aim of the article Financial Stability Index (FSI) for Lithuania has been created. It is based on theory and previous research. To find the determinants of FSI the multiple regression analysis model was specified and tested using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS). Findings – the results of multiple regression analysis indicate the government debt has a statistically significant impact on FSI, ceteris paribus. Other findings of the research show that profit or loss of the non-financial sector, foreign trade balance as well as a foreign direct investment are significant determinants of public finance stability. Research limitations – one of the limitations of this research is the small sample size that has an impact on the validity and generalizability of the results. Having a longer time-series data or panel data for more countries would improve the robustness and applicability of research results. Practical implications – the results of the research provide guidance to policymakers in the public finance area. Originality/Value − this paper contributes to the scarce literature on government debt and other determinants of financial stability in Lithuania

Abstract. One of the main problems in the asset management is the asset utilisation and management disorders. This creates difficulties for the local government to identify the assets that they hold or manage, thus the asset utilisation and its management tend not to be optimal. The objective of this research is to analyse the impact of asset management to the optimisation of the asset utilisation at Local Government of Bone Bolango. The variables utilised for this research are stocktaking, legal auditing, assessment and condition of the asset. The samples for this research are 104 people. Respondents were selected through purposive sampling. This is a quantitative research and the method used was multiple regression analysis. The research finding shows that partially, the stocktaking, assessment and condition of the asset have positive and significant impact to the optimisation of asset utilisation; while the legal auditing has no impact toward the optimisation of asset utilisation. The value of the coefficient of determination shows that the stocktaking, legal auditing, assessment and condition of the asset altogether contribute to the optimisation of asset utilisation which is 58,8% and the remaining of 41,2% is affected by the factors beyond this research.Keywords: The Optimization of Asset Utilisation, Stocktaking, Legal Auditing, Assessment, and Condition of the asset.Abstrak. Salah satu masalah utama dalam manajemen aset adalah ketidaktertiban dalam penggunaan dan pemanfaatannya. Ini menyebabkan pemerintah daerah kesulitan untuk mengetahui secara pasti aset yang dikuasai atau dikelolanya, sehingga aset-aset tersebut cenderung tidak optimal dalam penggunaan maupun pemanfaatannya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh manajemen aset terhadap optimalisasi pemanfaatan aset pada Pemerintah Daerah Kabupaten Bone Bolango. Variabel-variabel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah inventarisasi, legal audit, penilaian dan kondisi aset. Dengan menggunakan purposive sampling, jumlah sampel penelitian yang diambil sebanyak 104 orang. Jenis penelitian ini adalah kuantitatif dengan menggunakan metode analisis regresi berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara parsial inventarisasi, penilaian dan kondisi aset berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap optimalisasi pemanfaatan aset, sedangkan legal audit tidak berpengaruh terhadap optimalisasi pemanfaatan aset. Nilai dari koefesien determinasi menunjukkan bahwa inventarisasi, legal audit, penilain dan kondisi aset bersama-sama berkontribusi terhadap optimalisasi pemanfaatan aset yaitu sebesar 58,8 %, dan sisanya 41,2 % dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain diluar model penelitian.Kata kunci: Optimalisasi Pemanfaatan Aset, Inventarisasi, Legal Audit, Penilaian dan Kondisi Aset
