Comparison of Tuberculosis, Measles, Poliomyelitis and Rubella on Children Aged Less than 15 in a Poor Country: Case of the Republic of Pakistan_Crimson Publishers

 Comparison of Tuberculosis, Measles, Poliomyelitis and Rubella on Children Aged Less than 15 in a Poor Country: Case of the Republic of Pakistan by İlker Etikan in Open Access Biostatistics & Bioinformatics

We compared Measles, Tuberculosis, Poliomyelitis and Rubella infectious diseases in Pakistan on children aged less than 15 years from 2013 to 2018. We collected the registered cases of each disease per years at the World Health Organization (WHO) and at the United Nation International Children Emergency Fund (UNICEF) website and we used SPSS program to calculate descriptive statistics and plot graphics. We find out that over the past six years, among the four infectious diseases studied, Tuberculosis and Measles were the most present among children aged fewer than 15, their mean over the years was respectively 34430.50 and 20107.50, and their percentage was around 50% Of the whole studied diseases. Rubella and Poliomyelitis were the less infectious disease present among children aged under 15 in Pakistan from 2013 to 2018, their mean over the years was respectively 178.35 and 114.28, and their percentage was around 1% of the whole studied infectious diseases. Furthermore, Away from Poliomyelitis which curve was mostly decreasing over the last six years, all the three other diseases, Tuberculosis, Measles and Rubella had a curve mostly increasing over the last six years.

The Stupidity of Criticism_Crimson Publishers

The Stupidity of Criticism by James F Welles in Open Access Biostatistics & Bioinformatics

Fortunately for sensitive egos, people do not have to acknowledge criticism in order to react to it. Corrective reactions may be undertaken without anyone admitting anything was wrong. Demonstrating the power of negative thinking, the accompanying verbal response to warranted but unwelcome criticism is usually to the effect that, “We have not done anything wrong and will not do it again”.

The Stupidity of Communications_Crimson Publishers

 The Stupidity of Communications by James F Welles in Open access Biostatistics & Bioinformatics

In the formation and transformation of culture and its transmission across generations, communication is paramount. In fact, learning, unlearning and relearning are all communicative processes fundamental to the development and existence of culture [1]. This is not a uniquely human phenomenon, as many amniotic species depend upon their considerable learning capabilities in the development of their social organization and general behavior. While this basic cultural process is part of our biological heritage [2], language gives human culture its distinctive flair. In developing the cultural capacity for stupidity to human desiderata, language proved to be a most effective mechanism in that it both inhibits and subverts awareness. It is language which provides us with our basic misperceptions, which culture then embellishes and disseminates. Thus, self-unawareness is promoted when language permits us to misinterpret embarrassing events into socially acceptable contexts. Although sense organs give us our first impressions of our environment, words fix our attitudes, direct the process of data selection and strongly influence the misinterpretation of information so that we may misconstrue experiences.

Portfolio Analysis in Finance Mathematics_Crimson Publishers

 Portfolio Analysis in Finance Mathematics by DS Hooda in Open access Biostatistics & Bioinformatics

In the present paper a brief account of the deterministic model due to Marko is given and the concept of mean variance efficient frontier to find all efficient portfolios that maximize the expected returns and minimize the variance are introduced. Some measures of portfolio analysis based on entropy meanvariance frontier and maximum entropy model in risk sharing are proposed and studied.

Western Literature on Stupidity Reviewed_Crimson Publishers

Western Literature on Stupidity Reviewed by James F Welles in Open Access Biostatistics & Bioinformatics

 This review of the literature on stupidity demonstrates it has been and is a topic of interest among literati from Greek and Biblical times to the present. Recent writings on the topic are mostly anecdotal and with two exceptions indicate a lack of scientific analysis in the phenome-non.

Meta-Analysis of a Very Low Proportion Through Adjusted Wald Confidence Intervals_Crimson Publishers

Meta-Analysis of a Very Low Proportion Through Adjusted Wald Confidence Intervals by Afreixo V in Open Access Biostatistics & Bioinformatics

In this paper we will discuss the meta-analysis of one low proportion. It is well known, that there are several methods to perform the meta-analysis of one proportion, based on a linear combination of proportions or transformed proportions. However, in the context of a linear combination of binomial proportions has been proposed some approximate estimators with some improvements on low proportion estimation. In this paper we will show, with a simple adaptation, the possible contribution of several approximate adjusted Wald confidence intervals (CIs) for the meta-analysis of proportions. In the context of low proportions, a simulation study scenario is carried out to compare these CIs amongst themselves and with other available methods with respect to bias and coverage probabilities, using the fixed effect or the random-effects model.
