Deterministic linkage for improving follow-up time in a Brazilian population-based cancer registry

Population-based cancer registries (PBCR) are the primary source of cancer incidence and survival statistics. The loss to follow-up of these patients is concerning since it reduces the reliability of any statistical analysis. The linkage techniques have been increasingly used to improve data quality in various information systems. The linkage was performed between the databases of the PBCR-Barretos and the mortality database of the state of São Paulo. To evaluate the improvement in the follow-up time of patients, the comparability of the two databases, pre- and post linkage, was made. Three analyses were performed: a comparative analysis of the absolute number of deaths, a comparative analysis of the follow-up time of patients and the survival analysis. After linkage, there was an increase of 813 deaths. The follow-up time of patients was extended and observed in most types of tumours. The comparability of the survival analyses at both time points also showed a decrease in survival probabilities for all tumour types. Deterministic linkage is effective in updating the vital status of registered patients, improving patient follow-up time, and maintaining good quality data from PBCRs, consequently producing more reliable rates, as seen for the survival analyses.

Gentrification and Air Quality in a Large Urban County in the United States

Introduction: Increases in industrialization and manufacturing have led to worsening pollution in some components of air quality. In addition, gentrification is occurring in large cities throughout the world. As these socioeconomic and demographic changes occur, there have been no studies examining the association of gentrification with air quality. To investigate this association, we studied the trends of gentrification, changes in racial distribution and changes in air quality in each zip code of a large urban county over a 40-year period. Methods: We conducted a retrospective longitudinal study over 40 years in Wayne County, Michigan using socioeconomic and demographic data from the National Historical Geographic Information System (NHGIS) and air quality data from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). To assess gentrification, longitudinal analyses were performed to examine median household income, percentage with a college education, median housing value, median gross rent and employment level. The racial distribution was evaluated in each zip code during the time period. Gentrification was studied in relation to air quality using nonparametric 2-sample Wilcon-Mann-Whitney tests and Binomial Generalized Linear Regression models. Results: Although air quality improved overall over the 40-year period, there was a lesser rate of improvement in gentrified areas. Furthermore, gentrification was strongly associated with racial distribution. The most substantial gentrification occurred from 2010 to 2020, in which a specific cluster of adjacent zip codes in downtown Detroit experienced intense gentrification and a drop in the percentage of African-American residents. Conclusions: Gentrified areas seem to have a less pronounced improvement in air quality over time. This reduction in air quality improvement is likely associated with demolitions and the construction of new buildings, such as sporting arenas and accompanying traffic density. Gentrification is also strongly associated with an increase in non-minority residents in an area. Although previous definitions of gentrification in the literature have not included racial distribution, we suggest that future definitions should include this metric given the strong association. Minority residents who are displaced as a result of gentrification do not experience the improvements in housing quality, accessibility to healthy foods and other associations of gentrification.

The role of awareness in appraising the success of E-government systems

Worldwide governments are launching e-government (E-Gov) systems to ensure the superior delivery of services to their citizens. Ensuring the success of government-to-citizen (G2C), E-Gov systems is still challenging for various developing countries. To overcome this challenge, investigating the success of G2C E-Gov systems is important. This paper assesses the success of E-Gov systems from the perspective of a developing country. For this purpose, this research incorporates perceived-usefulness and perceived-trust variables into DeLone and McLean’s IS success model. A survey-based method was employed to collect data from Pakistani citizens. The PLS-SEM method was used for the validation of the conceptual model. Using the non-probability sampling technique, a sample of 264 usable cases was collected and used to analyze our model. It is evident from the outcomes of the study that information-quality has significant effects on the use of E-Gov and user-satisfaction, while service-quality, system-quality, and perceived-trust have significant effects on the use of E-Gov, user-satisfaction and perceived-usefulness. Further, the use of E-Gov, perceived-usefulness, and user-satisfaction have direct, significant impacts on the perceived-net-benefits. The practitioners are recommended to concentrate on the three quality dimensions i.e. information quality, system quality, and service quality while preparing E-Gov applications. The role of governments is also important to launch awareness campaigns and motivate their citizens to use E-Gov services.

The Risk of Orofacial Cleft Lip/Palate Due to Maternal Ambient Air Pollution Exposure: A Call for Further Research in South Africa.

Despite being underreported, orofacial cleft lip/palate (CLP) remains in the top five of South Africa's most common congenital disorders. Maternal air pollution exposure has been associated with CLP in neonates. South Africa has high air pollution levels due to domestic burning practices, coal-fired power plants, mining, industry, and traffic pollution, among other sources. We investigated air pollutant levels in geographic locations of CLP cases. In a retrospective case series study (2006-2020) from a combined dataset by a Gauteng surgeon and South African Operation Smile, the maternal address at pregnancy was obtained for 2,515 CLP cases. Data from the South African Air Quality Information System was used to calculate annual averages of particulate matter (PM) concentrations of particles < 10 µm (PM10) and < 2.5 µm (PM2.5). Correlation analysis determined the relationship between average PM2.5/PM10 concentrations and CLP birth prevalence. Hotspot analysis was done using the Average Nearest Neighbor tool in ArcGIS. Correlation analysis showed an increasing trend of CLP birth prevalence to PM10 (CC = 0.61, 95% CI = 0.38-0.77, p < 0.001) and PM2.5 (CC = 0.63, 95% CI = 0.42-0.77, p < 0.001). Hot spot analysis revealed that areas with higher concentrations of PM10 and PM2.5 had a higher proclivity for maternal residence (z-score = -68.2, p < 0.001). CLP birth prevalence hotspot clusters were identified in district municipalities in the provinces of Gauteng, Limpopo, North-West, Mpumalanga, and Free State. KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape had lower PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations and were cold spot clusters. Maternal exposure to air pollution is known to impact the fetal environment and increase CLP risk. We discovered enough evidence of an effect to warrant further investigation. We advocate for a concerted effort by the government, physicians, researchers, non-government organizations working with CLP patients, and others to collect quality data on all maternal information and pollutant levels in all provinces of South Africa. Collaboration and data sharing for additional research will help us better understand the impact of air pollution on CLP in South Africa.

Technology modernization is developing so fast that people have become dependent on it. Technology has a major impact on human life. It plays a larger role in the life of a wider community, especially in education, where it plays a role as a knowledge provider. The information system is an integrated unit of information technology and an activity to support operations and management to use the technology. One of the information systems used in education is the Research and Community Service Information Base (BIMA). BIMA is an information system that reports research activities such as planning, implementation, and reporting. BIMA implementation is within the Academic Community of the Telkom Purwokerto Institute of Technology. However, BIMA still has several problems with the infrastructure and systems, creating dissatisfaction when users access it. Based on these conditions, an analysis of user satisfaction with BIMA is needed. This study uses the EUCS, Delone Mclean, and Self-Efficacy Model Integration. This study analyzes user satisfaction levels and determines which factors significantly affect BIMA user satisfaction. The testing technique used is SEM-PLS. Based on the test results, there are five variables with a significant effect. Information Quality, System Quality, and Self-Efficacy significantly affected User Satisfaction. Technical Support significantly affected System Quality, and System Quality variables significantly affected Information Quality. One hypothesis has no significant effect on User Satisfaction, namely the Technical Support variable with p-values &gt; 0.05, which is 0.478 and the t-statistic value &lt;1.64, which is 0.032.

Understanding e-satisfaction, continuance intention, and e-loyalty toward mobile payment application during COVID-19: an investigation using the electronic technology continuance model

This research examined the determinants of e-satisfaction, continuance intention, and e-loyalty regarding the use of mobile payment applications (MPAs). It developed and validated the electronic technology continuance model (e-TCM) integrating a psychological factor (perceived threats), e-satisfaction, circumstantial factor (perceived anxiety), and the dimensions of quality. Using a questionnaire, data was collected from 455 respondents and analyzed using structural equation modeling. The influences of information quality, service quality, system quality, perceived usefulness, and confirmation on both e-satisfaction and continuance intention are found positive. However, perceived threats and perceived anxiety do not influence e-satisfaction but influence continuance intention. Moreover, e-satisfaction positively impacts continuance intention and e-loyalty; and continuance intention positively impacts e-loyalty. This research evidences the roles of perceived threat, e-satisfaction, perceived anxiety, and the dimensions of quality on customers’ e-satisfaction, continuance intention and e-loyalty, using the integrated framework comprising the health belief model, expectation–confirmation model, and information systems success model. The findings of this research can guide MPA services providers, online businesses, industry analysts, suburban consumers, and respective government authorities when MPA usage is concerned during any unprecedented crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

Meteorological, PM2.5 and PM10 factors on SARS-COV-2 transmission: The case of southern regions in Chile

There are several determinants of a population's health, including meteorological factors and air pollution. For example, it is well known that low temperatures and air pollution increase mortality rates in infant and elderly populations. With the emergence of SARS-COV-2, it is important to understand what factors contribute to its mitigation and control. There is some research in this area which shows scientific evidence on the virus's behavior in the face of these variables. This research aims to quantify the impact of climatic factors and environmental pollution on SARS-COV-2 specifically the effect on the number of new infections in different areas of Chile. At the local level, historical information available from the Department of Statistics and Health Information, the Chilean National Air Quality Information System, the Chilean Meteorological Directorate, and other databases will allow the generation of panel data suitable for the analysis. The results show the significant effect of pollution and climate variables measured in lags and will allow us to explain the behavior of the pandemic by identifying the relevant factors affecting health, using heteroskedastic models, which in turn will serve as a contribution to the generation of more effective and timely public policies for the control of the pandemic.

Evaluation of the quality constructs of a tax management system based on DeLone and McLean IS success model

ABSTRACT We presented a novel method to analyze the impact tax management systems have on users (individual impact) in this study. The interrelationship among the three information system (IS) quality constructs is examined. The study is based on the evaluation undertaken in this paper of DeLone and Mclean’s (D & M) model. Quantitative data are gathered from a related Ghanaian enterprise. The structural equation modelling of partial least squares was utilized to model the system quality, information quality, and service quality. The result of the study shows that the three quality constructs of the D & M model positively influence the users of a tax management system (individual impact). The results also show that there is a significant positive interrelation among the IS quality constructs.

Relationship between organization commitment and quality of accounting information in information system: The moderating role of software type

The aims of the paper are to investigate the impact of organizational commitment on the quality of accounting information in Vietnamese enterprises through the quality of information system. Information system is a very important system in enterprises, playing a role in collecting, processing and providing information to administrators to perform administrative functions and support the decision-making process, in which accounting information is considered one of the most important information of the business. Therefore, studying about the quality of accounting information has always been a necessary and meaningful topic both in academia and practice. This study was conducted with samples of 220 subjects, working in different positions in the enterprise, including accountants and employees in other parts of the business. Research data was collected through questionnaire survey (from April 2022 to July 2022), then used for descriptive statistical analysis and hypothesis testing. The research results show that there is an impact of the organizational commitment factor on information system (IS) quality and the IS quality has an impact on the accounting information (AI) quality. In addition, the research results also show that there is a moderating effect of software type on the relationship between information system quality and accounting information quality.

The effect of quality, security and privacy factors on trust and intention to use e-government services

In keeping abreast with the digitized and automated world today, governments of developing and developed nations must provide appropriate e-government services to assure confidence and effective and efficient usage among their citizens. The quality, security, and privacy of current e-government implementation have been impairing the trust and participation of users, in Jordan especially. Hence, this study examined the impacts of quality, security and privacy of e-government services on the intention to use e-government services among Jordanian citizens. Questionnaires were used to gather data, and questionnaire items covered the constructs of quality factors (information quality, system quality, and service quality), perceived security, and perceived privacy as independent variables, and the constructs of trust and intention to use as dependent variables. The study samples comprised academics in Jordanian public universities. The universities were selected using stratified sampling method, while the respondents were chosen using simple random sampling method - 212 respondents were selected. SPSS Version 18 and PLS Version 3.3.6 were used in data analyses and hypotheses testing. Results affirmed a positive and significant link between information quality, system quality, service quality, perceived security, perceived privacy and trust in e-government services, and a positive and significant link between trust in e-government services on intention to use. In e-government services implementation, Jordanian government should take into account the quality factors (information quality, system quality, and service quality), perceived privacy, and perceived security, to increase trust of the citizens and consequently their intention to use the e-government services.
