For decades entrepreneurial motivations have been related to entrepreneurial behavior, in areas such as investments or formulation of strategies, however, its link with the adoption of e-commerce in microenterprises has not been explored. Likewise, most of the research on e-commerce has been focused on studying small and medium-sized companies. Consequently, this research aims to assess the relationship of motivations of micro-entrepreneurs when developing their businesses, with the barriers they perceive to adopt the Internet, and the types of e-commerce activities they implement in their companies. In addition, demographic variables are analysed in order to facilitate the categorization of these organizations. Logistic regressions and Chi-square statistics are developed, on data published in the Fifth Micro-Entrepreneurship Survey of Chile. The results obtained show that the motivation for entrepreneurship based on family tradition is related to less Internet adoption and uses for e-commerce; also, it is evidenced that necessity and opportunity-based motivations are positively associated with Internet use for relationship purposes with clients and suppliers. This information is considered relevant in practical terms, since it allows strengthening the use of e-commerce in microenterprises, through the implementation of programs to support microentrepreneurs with incident characteristics, under the financing of governmental entities or private companies.

Tourist Activity of Local Government Employees on the Example of Warsaw StudiesIntroduction. The aim of this study was to determine the form, nature and level of participation of Warsaw local government employees in tourism. Identification of the relevant characteristics of this group can lead to the knowledge of its behaviour, and ultimately to conduct effective health intervention-promotional activities. Material and methods. The questionaire study covered 321 local government employees (121 male, 200 female). The study was conducted using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 17 (SPSS). Assessment of the relationship of demographic variables with the type of trip and the level of tourism activity were made using chi-square statistics and adjusted residuals. The level of participation in tourism was determined using principal components analysis. Results. Short-term trips reported 87% of local administration employees, long-term - 77% and international - 26%. Average number of short trips was 7.0±7.2, long - 2.1±1.44 and international - 1.4±0.8. Very low levels of tourism activity characterized 32%, low - 15%, moderate - 21%, high - 17% and very high - 14% of the respondents. Education is the main factor that determines the participation and level of tourism activity of respondents. Conclusions. Often the trips declared are not compatible with the level of tourist activity - analysis based on the number of trips a year (short, long and international). It follows that for half of the respondents participation in tourism is sporadic.

6095 Background: Financial relationships with commercial interests (COI) are common in cancer research. There are few data examining the correlation between COI and research merit. Meeting placement prominence (MP) and peer review score (PRS) are indicators of research merit. We examined the association between ASCO AM abstracts whose authors disclose COI and both MP and PRS. Methods: We reviewed abstracts presented at the ASCO AM in 2006 and 2008-2011. We evaluated associations between COI disclosed by any author and PRS and MP (order of prominence: plenary session (PS), clinical science symposium (CSS), oral presentation (OP), poster discussion session (PDS), vs. general poster session (GPS)). Chi-square tests, T-tests, and logistic regressions of COI were used to assess associations with MP, PRS, and year. Results: Of 12,446 total abstracts accepted for presentation, 78% of PS, 59% of CSS, 54% of OP, 52% of PDS, and 39% of GPS report at least one COI. Abstracts selected for PS, CSS, OP, and PDS had more COI compared to those selected for GPS (p < 0.05). Stock ownership COI were more frequently disclosed in PS (30%), CSS (30%), OP (22%), and PDS (22%) compared to GPS (16%) (p < 0.05). Employment COI were more frequently reported among abstracts presented at PS (39%), CSS (37%), OP (27%), and PDS (27%) compared to GPS (21%) (p < 0.05). Consultant COI were more likely to have higher MP than GPS placement (OR for PS=5.5; CSS=2.4; OP=2.2; PDS=1.9). Similarly, honoraria COI were more likely to have higher MP than GPS placement (OR for PS=3.9; CSS=1.8; OP=2.1; PDS=1.7). Better PRS was associated with COI (OR 0.17; p < 0.05). The relationship of better PRS with any COI strengthened over time from 2006, 2008-2011 (PRS times year interaction OR=0.65, p<0.001). Conclusions: ASCO abstracts whose authors report COI have higher merit as measured by MP and PRS. This suggests a dependence on industry relationships for access to important data that will lead to prominent cancer research. These relationships will require further investigation and ongoing management. To our knowledge, this is the first study examining the scientific merit of research with relation to COI.

One the factors that influence the succes of family planning is husband support. Based on BKKBN data until the end of December 2015, the quantity of PUS (Couple Age Fertile) amounted to 13,46%. This figur is lower than the achievement in 2014 which amounted to 16,51%. While for acceptor of KB injection equal to 49,93%, pill 26,36%, IUD 6,81%, implant equal to 9,63%, other method 2,1% (BKKBN, 2016). This study aims to determine the relationship of husband support with long-term family participation in BPM Sri Hastuti S.ST Surabaya            The type of this research is the observasional design of the population in this study is the family planning acceptors  which amounted to 45 people, the sample in this study is the family planning acceptors in July 2017 which amounted to 40 people. The data of this research was done in July 2017 by using questionnaire and presented in diagram.            Family planning acceptors who have husband support in the selection of long-term contraceptives is 5 people (12%) who didn’t participate some 35 people (88%).            The quantity of family planning acceptors taking long-term contraceptive methods was 19 (47%) while those who did not participated in 21 people (53%). Based on statistical test using chi square, it is found that p value 0,012 < α (0,05) and calculate value x² 6,316 > count value 3,841, in other words, Ho is rejected and Hi is accepted so it can be concluded that there is relationship of husband support with long-term family participation. This is in accordance with the theory that a wife in decision making to use contraception requires approval from the husband because the husband is seen  as the head of the family.

Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship of socioeconomic status and early marriage in rural areas in Indonesia. Method: This study used data from the 2017 Indonesian Demographic Health Survey. The sample was 2,252 of women aged 19 – 24 living in rural Indonesia. The variables included in the analysis were early marriage status, socioeconomic status, educational level, and working status. Analysis of collinearity, chi-square, and multiple logistic regressions were conducted in this study. Results: The socioeconomic status and educational level were significantly associated with early marriage among women aged 19 – 24 in rural Indonesia. The poorest socioeconomic women were 2.23 times more likely to experience early marriage than the richest women. Poorer women were 1.68 times more likely to experience early marriage than the richest women. Women who did not go to school, having primary to secondary level of education were more likely to experience early marriage than those having tertiary level, constituting for 10.34 times, 12.10 times and 4.52 times, respectively. Educational level was more dominant in relation to early marriage than socioeconomic status. Conclusion: Socioeconomic status and educational level are associated with early marriage. Poor young women with low educational level in rural areas should be the focus of the program target to reduce the coverage of early marriage in Indonesia.

Abstract Background Benzodiazepines are commonly prescribed in prisons amidst the controversies surrounding their potential role in causing behavioral disinhibition and aggressive behavior and their association with use and trafficking of illicit and addictive substances. The present study aimed to (1) ascertain the relationship between benzodiazepine prescription (including their dosage and duration of use) and aggressive behavior and behavioral disinhibition in prison and (2) investigate whether there was an association between benzodiazepine prescription, (including their dosage and duration of use) and using and trafficking illicit and addictive substances during imprisonment. Methods Data were extracted from the electronic database of an “open” Swiss prison (n = 1206, 1379 measures) over a 5-year period (2010–2015). Measures included benzodiazepine prescription, duration of benzodiazepine use and mean dosage, and punishable behaviors (physical and verbal aggression, disinhibited but not directly aggressive behaviors, property damage or theft, substance-related offenses, and rule transgression). We assessed the relationship between benzodiazepine prescription and punishable behaviors after propensity score matching. Logistic regressions were also used to test the relationship of benzodiazepine use duration and dosage with punishable behaviors among participants who received benzodiazepines. Results After propensity score matching, benzodiazepine prescription was not significantly associated with any punishable behavior. Among detained persons who took benzodiazepines, there was no significant association of dosage and duration of use with offenses involving illicit or addictive substance use or trafficking. Conclusions Our study did not empirically support the occurrence of increased aggressive or disinhibited behaviors or increased risk of substance abuse in detained persons who received benzodiazepines in prison. This suggests a need to reconsider restrictions in prescribing benzodiazepines in the prison setting.

In the current era of globalization, humans always interact with technological developments. One result of the development of technology is the use of computers. The use of computers that are not under the ergonomic position causes effects on health, one of them is tension-type headaches. In the United States, 1-4% of patients coming to the Emergency Care Unit complain of headache, 90% of them are tension-type headaches. The proportion of migraine and other headache syndromes in the hospital. Harapan Bunda in 2011 and RS. Camatha Sahidya in Batam in Batam was 5% and 0.7% respectively. Whereas the incidence of tension headaches in 5 puskesmas in Batam in 2014 ranged from 0.5% - 1.3%. The proportion of tension headaches at the BIP Clinic in the January-April 2018 period is 1.5%. Tension-type headaches that occur continuously can cause barriers to daily activities. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship of computer use with the incidence of tension-type headaches in workers. This research uses a descriptive-analytic method with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique is purposive sampling. Of 97 respondents who visited the clinical BIP that met the criteria, it was found that computer user respondents experienced tension-type headaches of 18 people (42.9%) and not tension-type headaches of 24 people (57.1%). Whereas the respondents who were not computer users experienced tension-type headaches of 10 people (18.2%), and non-tension-type headaches of 45 people (81.8%). Bivariate chi-square analysis showed that p = 0.008 (p <0.05). This means that Ha is accepted and H0 is rejected.
