Background: People with intellectual disabilities (PwID) are particularly more vulnerable to dermatological manifestations due to their associated disabilities and hygiene negligence. Aims and Objective: To estimate the prevalence and pattern of skin diseases considering various medico-social correlates among PwID in two districts of Central India. To apply multinomial logistic regression analysis to examine the medico-social factors associated with no, one and more than one dermatological manifestations. Materials and Methods: A total of 204 PwID receiving rehabilitation services under a NGO serving two districts were examined for dermatological manifestations and various medico-social factors were studied. Descriptive analysis like chi-square and multinomial logistic regression analysis (MLR) was performed. Results: We found that 87.25% of study participants had one or more dermatological manifestations {infectious (64.7%) and non-infectious (84.3%)}. Among the various medico-social variables studied, socio-economic status, education of parents and associated co-morbidities were independently associated with increase in frequency of skin disorders. MLR analysis showed that Illiteracy of parents, lower socio-economic status and associated co-morbidities in PwID had higher odds of developing one and more than one dermatological manifestations when compared to literate and high income families and PwID with no associated co-morbidities. Conclusion: This study delineates the importance of additional attempts to be made by dermatologist while dealing with PwID while considering carefully their associated co-morbidities and various social factors. Strict hygiene measures, periodic skin examination and health education of persons caring for students with disabilities are recommended.

Abstrak: Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk membandingkan analisis regresi logistik multinomial dan analisis diskriminan untuk mengelompokkan keputusan kunjungan wisata halal di Jawa Tengah berdasarkan ketepatan pengelompokan. Analisis statistik yang digunakan adalah regresi logistik multinomial dan analisis diskriminan. Kedua analisis tersebut dapat digunakan sebagai metode pengelompokan objek, sehingga keduanya dapat dibandingkan berdasarkan ketepatan pengelompokkannya. Penelitian ini membandingkan analisis regresi logistik multinomial dan analisis diskriminan dalam pengelompokan keputusan kunjungan wisata halal. Data yang digunakan adalah worship facilities, halalness, general Islamic mortality, dan tourism destination image. Hasil analisis menggunakan metode regresi logistik multinomial menunjukkan faktor-faktor yang secara signifikan mempengaruhi pengelompokan keputusan kunjungan wisata halal adalah variabel tourism destination image, variabel halalness, dan variabel general Islamic morality. Sedangkan dengan analisis diskriminan menunjukkan bahwa semua variabel prediktor yakni worship facilities, halalness, general Islamic mortality, dan tourism destination image memberikan pengaruh secara signifikan terhadap pengklasifikasian keputusan mengunjungi destinasi wisata halal. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa metode regresi logistik multinomial lebih baik untuk pengelompokkan keputusan kunjungan wisata halal dibandingan metode analisis diskriminan, dengan presetnase ketepatan pengelompokkan pada metode regresi logit multinomial sebesar 59,5%  dan analisis diskriminan sebesar 53,5%. Analisis regresi logistik multinominal lebih mudah digunakan dalam proses pengelompokan keputusan kunjuangan wisata halal karena tidak mempertimbangkan asumsi yang harus dipenuhi. Kata Kunci: Analisis Diskriminan; Regresi Logistik Multinominal; Keputusan Mengunjungi   Abstract: The purpose of this study is to compare multinomial logistic regression analysis and discriminant analysis to classify decisions on halal tourism visits in Central Java based on grouping accuracy. Statistical analysis used is multinomial logistic regression and discriminant analysis. The two analyzes can be used as a method of grouping objects, so that they can be compared based on the accuracy of the grouping. This study compares multinomial logistic regression analysis and discriminant analysis in grouping decisions for halal tourism visits. The data used are worship facilities, halalness, general Islamic mortality, and tourism destination image. The results of the analysis using the multinomial logistic regression method show that the factors that significantly influence the grouping of decisions for halal tourism visits are the tourism destination image variable, the halalness variable, and the general Islamic morality variable. Meanwhile, discriminant analysis shows that all predictor variables namely worship facilities, halalness, general Islamic mortality, and tourism destination image have a significant influence on the classification of decisions to visit halal tourist destinations. This study shows that the multinomial logistic regression method is better for grouping decisions on halal tourist visits than the discriminant analysis method, with a preset percentage of grouping accuracy in the multinomial logit regression method of 59.5% and discriminant analysis of 53.5%. Multinominal logistic regression analysis is easier to use in the process of grouping halal tourism travel decisions because it does not consider the assumptions that must be met. Keywords: Discriminant Analysis; Multinomial Logistic Regression; Visiting decision.

The aim of this study was to analyse the differences between men’s and women’s teams of the Estonian highest league in attack, serve, block, defence and serve reception. The sample consisted of 5 men’s and 5 women’s teams of the Estonian volleyball highest league in the 2014/2015 season. To collect data, two game videos of each team were watched; from them tempo of attack, type of attack, block and serve, and the results of defence and cover were registered. In addition, statistics created by the Data Volley and Volleysoft 6–3 programs on the basis of expert assessments were used to estimate the efficiency of volleyball elements and results of reception. SPSS Statistics 23 version for Windows was used to construct frequency tables and multinomial logistic regression analysis was applied to find the probable frequencies of the activities analysed. The results revealed that in Estonian men’s highest league games quick tempo 1 attacks were used statistically significantly more often than in women’s games. Men were more proficient at attack and used a vigorous spike more often than women. For both genders, double block was the most often used block type. Broken double block was more common to men than to women. The serve type most often used by men was the power jump serve, followed by the tactical float serve. Women most often used the standing serve and, as second, the jump float serve. Men made more serve errors than women did. The percentage of ace serves was also higher in women than in men.In defence, the percentage of the ball remaining in play was higher in women than in men, and women’s defence cover was more efficient than men’s. As a result of attack cover, the ball remained in play nearly by half more frequently in women’s than in men’s games. Nonetheless, women scored fewer points as a result of attack cover. Serve reception in the Estonian highest league was better in men, and men made statistically significantly fewer errors in reception than women did.
