Comparison of Lea Symbols chart and Sheridan Gardiner chart in assessing vision screening among pre-school children: a Malaysia perspective.

Abstract: OBJECTIVE Compare the performance of Lea Symbols and Sheridan Gardiner charts against the standard test chart used to determine reduced VA during vision screening among pre-schoolers. MATERIAL AND METHOD Seven hundred seventy five pre-school participated where 389 subjects were boys and 386 subjects were girls were tested using the Lea Symbols chart and the Sheridan Gardiner chart. The mean age of the pre-school children was 5.3 +/- 0.7 years old. RESULTS The Lea Symbols chart showed a higher sensitivity (97.5%) compared to the Sheridan Gardiner chart (57.1%). While the Sheridan Gardiner chart showed higher specificity (92.0%) compared to the Lea Symbols chart (45.0%). CONCLUSION The Lea Symbols chart offers a better pick-up rate of visual impairment during a vision-screening program especially cases of amblyopia among pre-school children compared to the Sheridan Gardiner chart in Malaysia.

Decision support for strategic management in a hyperknowledge environment and the holistic concept of man

Abstract: In the design, development and use of computer-based decision support systems, the ultimate challenge is how to arrange successful interaction between the computer and the active human being. This paper therefore examines the extent to which, by applying the hyperknowledge framework and the holistic concept of man to decision support systems, these systems can be made to emulate human cognitive processes. The approach is a new one, and represents an emerging paradigm for achieving holistic mapping and synergy between human decision making processes and computer configurations. The approach also takes account of the relations and interrelationships involved in both the situationality and the corporeality of the human actor.

The monthly returns are taken and beta of each security is calculated which is used in the calculation of Expected returns. Microsoft Office (MS Excel) is used for most of the calculations. The empirical findings of this study do not support to the CAPM in Pakistan Stock Markets. In all three types of beta, it gives different results. The results of this study are in line with the previous researches conducted on Pakistan Stock markets but with different time periods and different sample size.
