Analysing Tuberculosis Trends in South Asia

Abstract

<p>Tuberculosis (TB) has been one of the top ten causes of death in the world. As per the World Health Organization (WHO) around 1.8 million people have died due to tuberculosis in 2015. This paper aims to investigate the spatial and temporal variations in TB incident in South Asia (India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Maldives, Nepal, and Sri-Lanka). Asia had been counted for the largest number of new TB cases in 2015. The paper underlines and relates the relationship between various features like gender, age, location, occurrence, and mortality due to TB in these countries for the period 1993-2012.</p>

Information system supporting research on rubber in Thailand

“…IT including database technology have been widely used in various fields including agricultural science [17], science education [18], ecology [19] and health science [20][21][22]. In a previous study [17] methods used in palm oil natural evaluation, illustrated fuzzy logic and various image processing.…”

“…Additionally, ecology research employed IT for interactional analysis among bird diversification, spatial distribution, and land classification at Kenyir countryside of Terengganu, Malaysia, employing an artificial neural network (ANN) for self-organizing map (SOM) inquiry [19]. In health science, web database technology have been used for data management such as the spatial and temporal variations in tuberculosis (TB) incidence in South Asia (India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Maldives, Nepal, and Sri-Lanka) [20], an online advanced analytical service for dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) transmission in Thailand [21], and an alert system for dengue epidemic was designed as a web application for Kanchanadit Hospital in Thailand [22].…”
