The article analyzes the Early Entrepreneurship Rate (TEA) and the generation of jobs. The results show in the first instance that undertaking in the province of Tungurahua is very complicated. The EAP of the province is 313,018 between men and women; of these, a quarter are employed in more than 42,500 companies, which is why there has been growth in new companies at the provincial level. Finally, the equation is applied where the constant is employment and established companies and these explain the TEA; therefore, the p value of the variables is less than the significance level, that is, the alternative hypothesis is verified, being that the Early Entrepreneurship Rate (TEA) does generate jobs.

ABSTRAK Pasien stroke akut seringkali tidak memiliki waktu dan sarana yang memadai untuk melakukan penimbangan berat badan pasien yang sebenarnya (aktual). Untuk pasien stroke tirah baring (bed rest), terpaksa harus di ukur menggunakan tempat tidur (hospital bed) khusus yang dilengkapi dengan timbangan berat badan elektronik. Akan tetapi, harganya sangat mahal dan tidak dimiliki oleh semua rumah sakit. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan instrumen yang bisa mengukur secara akurat dan tersedia secara luas di rumah sakit.Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui validitas dan realibilitas hasil pengukuran berat badan menggunakan rumus Jung dengan timbangan elektronik pada pasien stroke lanjut usia. Jenis penelitian ini adalah observasional dengan desain cross sectional. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Mei 2017 sebanyak 94 pasien stroke rawat jalan di poliklinik Neuro RSUD dr. Moewardi Surakarta dilakukan pengukuran berat badan aktual menggunakan timbangan elektronik yang sebelumnya telah dikalibrasi ke terdekat 0,1 kg. Selanjutnya, dilakukan pengukuran lingkar lengan atas dan tinggi lutut yang kemudian dimasukkan kedalam rumus estimasi berat badan lansia Jung. Hasil penelitian ini adalah Rumus jung memiliki validititas yang baik terhadap timbangan elektronik pada pengkuruan berat badan pasien stroke lansia yang dapat dilihat pada nilai AUC sebesar 88,91% pada taraf signifikansi (a = 0,05) yaitu p-value = 0,000 < 0,05. Rumus jung terbukti realible/handal digunakan untuk pengkuruan berat badan pada pasien stroke lansia. Hal ini ditunjukkan dengan nilai AUC > 0,5 sebesar 12,084 (sig) p= 0,000 lebih kecil pada taraf signifikan a = 5%. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah Rumus Jung baik digunakan pada pengukuran berat badan pasien stroke.   Kata kunci: realibilitas, rumus jung, timbangan elektronik.       ABSTRACT Acute stroke patients often do not have sufficient time and facilities for actual patient weight balancing (actual). For bed rest stroke patients, forced to be measured using a bed (hospital bed) special equipped with electronic weighing scales. However, the price is very expensive and is not owned by all hospitals. Therefore, an instrument that can measure accurately and widely available in the hospital is required. Objective of this study is to determine the validity and reliability of the results of weight measurements using Jung's formula with electronic scales in elderly stroke patients. The type of this study was observational with cross sectional design. This studi was conducted During May 2017 as many as 94 outpatient stroke patients in polyclinic Neuro RSUD dr. Moewardi Surakarta conducted actual weight measurement using electronic scales that had previously been calibrated to the nearest 0.1 kg. Furthermore, the measurement of the upper arm circumference and knee height is then incorporated into the formula of Jung's elderly weight estimate.

Introduction: Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is a problem with structure and function of the heart that is present at birth.  Children with CHD require special care, treatment and follow up for a number of common conditions which may be quite straining to the care givers. The objective of the study was to find out the burden of care among mothers having children with CHD. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in a cardiac centre of Nepal. A total of 95 mothers having children with CHD attending outpatient department of our institute were selected as the sample for the study using non-probability purposive sampling technique. A semi structured interview questionnaire consisting of the Modified Caregiver Strain Index was used to assess the burden of care among mothers having children with CHD. Frequency and percent were used to describe the variables and chi- square test at 0.05 significance level was used to analyse associations. Results: Most (77.9%) of the mothers were regularly strained to find that their children’s health condition was deteriorating due to CHD. Nearly half (44.2%) of the mothers always had financial constrain while giving care to the child, nearly half (40%) of the mothers had done emotional adjustments to take care of their children with CHD, another two-fifths (28.4%) of the mothers sometimes had disturbed sleep and almost half (46.3%) of the mothers were always upset due to some behaviour of their child with CHD. Half (50.5%) of the mothers had high level of burden of care. Statistically significant association were found between age of the mother and level of burden of care (p value = 0.05). Similarly, the type of family (p value = 0.005), age of the children (p value = 0.000) and type of CHD (p value = 0.002) were significantly associated with the level of burden of care among the mothers. Conclusion: The study concluded that mothers tend to feel less burden of care as the child grows older, mothers having children with cyanotic heart disease tend to experience more burden of care. Mothers of less than thirty years of age and living in a joint family also experience more burden of care.
