BIG DATA FOR SECURE PERVASIVE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM CASE STUDY OF SOCIAL SECTOR OF HEALTH IN RWANDA []


Pervasive healthcare aims to deliver deinstitutionalized healthcare services to patients anytime and anywhere. Pervasive healthcare involves remote data collection through mobile devices and sensor network which the data is usually in large volume, varied formats and high frequency. The nature of big data such as volume, variety, velocity and veracity, together with its analytical capabilities complements the delivery of pervasive healthcare. Pervasive healthcare, also known as ubiquitous healthcare or mobile healthcare is a concept to deinstitutionalize healthcare services (Ruotsalainen et al., 2012).Pervasive healthcare improves communication between patients and healthcare professionals by delivering accurate medical information anytime and anywhere. This enables the real time clinical information recording and avoids information duplications, hence leading to a better information sharing and decision making (Drayton, 2012).Given the nature of pervasive healthcare, data from distributed sources are demanded for the healthcare service provision (Heerden et al., 2012). The wide range of mobile devices, sensor and applications produce data in various formats. Big data is therefore enabling the pervasive healthcare by providing an innovative solution in managing the large, varied and high frequency data sets. Big data is commonly defined with 4Vs: Volume, Velocity, Variety and Veracity (Feldman et al., 2012). Volume refers to the rapid rate at which data is growing. Velocity represents the increasing frequency with which data is delivered or accumulated. Variety signifies the many forms in which data exist. There are two types of data defined in the big data context: structured data and unstructured data (Hurwitz et al., 2013).Big data management provides the capabilities in data storage, management, analysis (or known as big data analytics, which is a pivotal element in the big data management) and visualization for handling large (from terabytes to Exabyte) and complex (from sensor to social media) data sets (Feldman et al., 2012).However, most of the existing research focuses on the technical context of big data (e.g. developing decision algorithm and decision models) in the healthcare sector. There is limited research in intertwining pervasive healthcare with big data. These two domains are seen as complementing each other to better the healthcare services delivery and to reduce the accelerating operational cost. This in turn causes data related challenges. In addition, most healthcare organisations lose sight of the strategic role of big data which has a direct impact on the quality of healthcare services at the organisational level without considering the big data implementation in a holistic sense. The aim of this study is therefore to propose big data for pervasive healthcare conceptually through an intensive literature review of pervasive healthcare and big data.

Macroeconomic Determinants of Unemployment in Ethiopia []


Unemployment is one of the challenge facing today’s world. The impartial of the study was to examine the long-run and short-run relationships between unemployment and its macroeconomic determinants over 1984/85-2018/19, comprising external debt, inflation rate, foreign direct investment (FDI), population growth, and real gross domestic product (RGDP). Subsequent to using the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) to test for unit root, this study employed Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach. Regression result proposes that external debt, inflation, FDI, population growth, and RGDP have together been imperative in explaining the long-run unemployment rate. Except population growth these also persist in the short-run. The significant and negative coefficient of error correction term indicate to high speed of adjustment to achieve the long-run equilibrium. Finally, the study suggests the government should increase the level of aggregate supply, economic growth along with job creation, create a conducive environment that entices much foreign direct investments (FDI) and borrow only for productive purpose, consolidate the existing entrepreneurship activity with new entrepreneurial entrants so as to create more employment and absorb a large pool of unemployed population.

Promises and Challenges of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) Implementation: A Systematic Review []


Even though Electronic Health Record Systems (EHRs) plays prominent roles to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of health related services, its implementation has not been without challenges as it pervades technology into what has been a historically manual process of health information recording. The study reviews literatures and gives an intellectual background to the study by reviewing various studies made by different researchers and institutions on the ideas of EHRs and its advantages and challenges for implementation. Identifying the obstructions will be a precursor to assessing readiness for a system. The review suggests that user resistance, lack of skills, Provider engagement and commitment, administrative and policy support are the primary barriers to implement EHRs. Privacy, security and legal issues are also other challenges of EHRs implementation. In order to successful implementation of EHRs, health care organizations and professionals should committed for tackling interoperability, security, business continuity, and digital divide issues. Further studies are recommended to examine the challenges in detail and recognize how to overcome said barriers.

ANTIGENIC DETECTION OF INFLUENZA A VIRUS (H7N9 STRAIN) AMONG POULTRY BIRDS IN GBOKO, BENUE STATE. []


Influenza A viruses cause contagious respiratory illness resulting in annual epidemics and occasional pandemics. The human death toll of influenza epidemics worldwide is in the range of 250,000 to 500,000 each year. They have also been identified as resident in the animal population where they are native reservoirs. In Nigeria, the poultry and livestock industry has suffered enormous losses to the rampaging and continually mutating Influenza virus that has posed a major zoonotic threat to man. This study involved 92 chickens even with the mildest of respiratory signs that were screened for H7N9 antigen using indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The result from the laboratory assay revealed that only one (1.09%) of the birds (an adult hen) was positive for H7N9. The presence of this virus, though at a low rate could suggest the bird had been naturally infected. The findings in this research also draws our attention to the reality that the H7 strain is present in Gboko, Benue State of Nigeria, especially as sub-optimal levels of the antigen were recorded (7.61%). Establishing this zoonotic virus in birds in this study location, it logically follows that exposed humans should take utmost care to prevent onward transmission to humans. The findings from this research is also a further call to intensify efforts at continuous surveillance to include potential carriers and reservoirs of the virus in order to prevent outbreak in commercial/homestead poultry and human populations in Nigeria and also globally. Keywords: Avian influenza, Epidemics, Zoonotic, Poultry, Outbreak, Benue State of Nigeria.
