Assessing of the Risk Factor & Determine Epidemiology of Acne Vulgaris in Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital

Background: Acne vulgaris remains one of the commonest diseases to afflict humanity, with over 90% of males and 80% of females affected by the age of 21 years. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assessing the specific risk factors, determine the epidemiology and etiology of Acne Vulgaris. Methodology: It is a cross-sectional observational study conducted for a period of six month in the department of dermatology, Dhiraj General Hospital, Vadodara. Patients who were diagnosed with acne vulgaris and fulfilled the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the study. Data was collected by filling the patient medical record sheet. Result: Total 300 patients were included in the study. Out of which 38.67% males and 61.33% females were found affected by Acne Vulgaris. The mean age group affected were found to be 21.77±4.06 years. When compared their social habits, patients consumed more caffeine (49.67%) than alcohol (24.67%), smoking (15.33%) and tobacco (5.67%). 32.33% patients also had history of seborrheic dermatitis. Using GAGS scale, we found 94% patients suffered from moderate Acne condition while 6% suffered from severe Acne condition. Conclusion: Acne Vulgaris was predominantly found in females in adolescence and in males in adulthood. The severity was found more in males than females. The common site for Acne Vulgaris was found to be face while comedones and papules were the common types of lesions. Stress was found to be one of the major aggravating factors for severity of Acne Vulgaris.

How Social Factor Determine Individual Taxpayers’ Tax Compliance Behaviour in Malaysia?

The aim of this study is to clarify the role of social factors on individual taxpayers’ tax compliance behaviour in Malaysia. Studies with similar topics express the fact that there still exists a gap in thedeveloping countries that impact the decision making on tax compliance. Malaysia is a multi-racial and cultural country with social factors to impact on tax compliance. Some of the factors impacting are cultural impact, political affiliation, and religiosity, which are considered to be playing an important role in individual tax compliance behaviour. The researcher used a survey method of research design. For that the population targeted was the individual taxpayers across Malaysia. A sample of 419 respondents had been taken for this study, using a convenient sampling method. Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis had been employed to analyse the data. The outcome of the study reveals that changes in government policies, referral groups, the role of LHDN, and political affiliation are the main important variables that determine individual taxpayers’ tax compliance behaviour. This paper studied social factor variables, which finally fills the gap that existed in the literature and helps tax administration to develop effective compliance risk treatment.

TECHNIQUES FOR IMPLEMENTING FORM AND COLOR IN THE ARTISTIC DESIGN OF ARCHITECTURAL AND URBAN ENVIRONMENT

The results of scant attention to questions of artistic cultural decay and esthetic expressiveness are critical condition and often lack of artistic emotional and figurative perception of urban architectural environment and most of public and housing objects in Ukraine. One of the ways of dealing with this problem is implementation of specified means and techniques of artistic design. Many scientists research color and form impact on the urban architectural environment, however the attention is paid to the solution of general theoretical questions often ignoring artistic factor. That's why it is important to systematize information about means of formation of emotional and figurative perception of urban architectural environment accounting artistic factor and determine artistic techniques for form and color implementation to urban architectural environment. The aim and tasks of work are to systematize information about means for emotional and figurative perception of urban architectural environment using artistic factor, determine techniques for implementing main tools of artistic design to architectural and urban environment. Therefore, analysis and systematization of scientific research results, literary and informational sources revealed that such tools as form and color have the most significant influence on the formation of emotional and figurative perception of urban architectural environment within artistic design. As the result of the comparative analysis of existing knowledge six artistic techniques of implementing form and color to architectural and urban environment are presented. Among them are technique of polar contrast utilization, technique of highlighting, technique of rhythm, technique of dynamism or transparency, technique of expressiveness and technique of form and color subjectivity. Above mentioned techniques for implementing form and color to architectural and urban environment are basic for the development of the author's own language of self-realization by architect-artist. Using these techniques both together and separately, their successful combination can create an architectural and urban environment with a unique atmosphere, which is in development and changes constantly, dictates its own rules of perception, elicit an individual emotional response from every visitor.

Rates to Measures the Social Inequity Attributable To Smoking

Introduction: Smoking has two main explicative variables given by the consumption of tobacco and cigarettes and the smokers’ number. The relation between both and the researched risk factor determine the social behavior of it. The social inequity attributable to smoking is given by the particular way to impact over the researched population. Objective: To design an inequity rate for each identified form of social inequity attributable to smoking. Was made an analytic research about the smoking social inequity. Materials and Methods: Were used like theorical methods the comparative and the inductive deductive and like empiric method the bibliographic research. Results: The social inequity attributable to smoking is given by the social cost because of smoking. These costs are determined by the smoking effect over the economic resources consumption´s financing the health services and the smoking effect over the society and the economy in general by the labor productivity lose. Conclusion: Smoking like risk factor has several forms to impact over the population researched. Each identified form of social inequity has one particular form of social inequity and one form of socioeconomic inequity too.

CAMELS Model With a Proposed ‘S’ for the Bank Credit Risk Rating

The purpose of this article is to adopt the CAMELS model to the bank credit risk rating by using simple indicators from publicly available quantifiable information retrieval from their financial statements. Then, it is to test its empirical validation after completion of its revised methodology in 2012 as response to the sub-prime crisis using the rating ‘all-in’ of 128 banks rated by Moody’s of 29 EMENA countries. We use ‘ordered logit’ regression for the variable to explain the rating classes and the bootstrap resampling techniques to assess the stability degree of the best model selected with the information criteria’s AIC. Under this scheme, the explanatory powers measured by Pseudo R2 of the best model is 56.47%. The results show that the two components: intrinsic credit quality and the support of the environment measured respectively by CAMEL factors and the proposed ‘S’ factor determine well the ‘all-in’ ratings. The sovereign rating of the bank establishment country, the size and the ‘stand-alone’ rating of the bank are the most relevant variables.

Clinical outcome and prognostic factors for central neurocytoma, a study of 14 cases

Background: Since they’re rare, the intraventricular neoplasms “central neurocytoma” best management got diverse, and mystifying. Aim of the work: to assess outcome for patients with central neurocytoma and value of specific factors like tumor size, surgical resection extent, atypia, and concomitant other modality of treatments by radiotherapy in their survival. Patients & methods: 14 patients (8 males, 6 females) were managed surgically between 2012 and 2016. They were assessed clinically, radiologically and their outcome in relation to selected factors. Results: Median age at diagnosis was 28.3 years in average (range 16–58). Median follow-up was 32.2 months.we lost 2 cases to follow-up in post-operative period. Six patients had recurrent of neurocytoma tumours.Five patients (35.7 %) obtained gross total resections (GTR) while 9 patients (64.2 %) had subtotal resections (STR). Two STR patients (14.2 %) received dose of radiation post operatively that significantly enhanced overall PFS (p =0.047). our series data propose that radiation therapy following (STR) usually increase (PFS). Two patients proved to have atypical neurocytoma by pathological reports died at 2.3 and 10.2 months after the microsurgical procedures. MIB-1 tagging index higher than 4 % is an indicator for poor outcome. We used Kaplan–Meier beside Cox proportional hazards methods in determining the Progression-free survival (PFS) in our study. Conclusion: the extent of surgical resection may improve the neurological condition but not the survival, Atypia was the most important factor determine the recurrence & survival while radiotherapy improve the survival quietly.
