Leung and colleagues have revealed a five-dimensional structure of social axioms across individuals from five cultural groups. The present research was designed to reveal the culture level factor its correlates 41 nations. An ecological analysis on 60 items Social Axioms Survey extracted two factors: Dynamic Externality with value measures tapping collectivism, hierarchy, conservatism national indices indicative lower development. Societal Cynicism is less strongly broadly correlated...
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death globally. In 2014, United Nations committed to reducing premature mortality from NCDs, including by burden healthcare costs. Since Prospective Urban and Rural Epidemiology (PURE) Study has been collecting health expenditure data households with NCDs in 18 countries.Using PURE Study, we estimated risk catastrophic spending impoverishment among at least one person (cardiovascular disease, diabetes, kidney cancer respiratory...
Based on a deductive, culturally decentered approach, new items were generated to improve the reliability of original Social Axioms Survey, which measures individuals’ general beliefs about world. In Study 1, results from 11 countries support five-factor structure and achieve higher for axiom dimensions as measured by scale. Moreover, moderate but meaningful associations between Big-Five personality found. Temporal change social axioms at culture level was examined found be moderate. 2,...

Urbanization may influence physical activity (PA) levels, although little evidence is available for low- and middle- income countries where urbanization occurring fastest. We evaluated associations between total PA, as well work-, leisure-, home-, transport-specific 138,206 adults living in 698 communities across 22 within the Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study.

Educators in medical schools around the world are presently experimenting with innovative ways of using web-based learning to supplement existing teaching and process. We have recently used a popular open-source course management system (CMS) called modular object-oriented dynamic environment (Moodle) construct an online site (DPhysiol) facilitate our face-to-face physiology group first-year students Bachelor Medicine Surgery program. The integration Moodle into was assessed log activity,...
A reliable interview protocol is the key to obtain good quality data. However, developing a valid not simple task, especially for beginner-level researchers. Extensive understanding of research topic no guarantee findings because many other factors may affect process. In our study among injured workers in Malaysia, researchers face additional challenge interviewing multi-ethnic and multi-cultural population. Most them are also from lower socioeconomic status education level. The objective...
Abstract Aims To compare the prevalence of electrocardiogram (ECG)-documented atrial fibrillation (or flutter) (AF) across eight regions world, and to examine antithrombotic use clinical outcomes.

Cymbopogon citratus has been shown to have antioxidant, antimicrobial, antispasmodic and chemo-protective properties. Citral, is the major constituent of C. citratus. This study investigated effects methanolic extracts leaves (LE), stems (SE), roots (RE) citral on vascular smooth muscle explored their possible mechanisms action. The experiment was conducted using isolated tissue preparations, where citral, LE, SE, RE were added separately into a bath that contained aortic rings, which...
The older adults (OA) is vulnerable to malnutrition, which may affect their health and quality of life. This study assesses the prevalence deficiencies in dietary nutrients among Malaysian OA stratified by residency, genders, socioeconomic status (SES) body mass index (BMI).
Cymbopogon citratus, commonly known as lemongrass, has been shown to have antioxidant, antimicrobial and chemo-protective properties. Citral, a monoterpenoid, is the major constituent of C. citratus that gives off lemony scent postulated be responsible for most its actions. In addition, traditionally used treat gastrointestinal discomforts, however, scientific evidence this still lacking. Thus, aim present study was investigate effect extracts various parts (leaves, stems roots) citral on...
