    A correspondence analysis and path analysis approach were conducted for a dental caries case study among 6-7 year-old children from (Bachok District) Kelantan. Data from382 children were collected and caries status was examined visually by two dental officers from School of Dental Sciences, Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM). All related and important information observed was recorded in a research form. Results showed that 63.1% of the children was in high caries category. The incidence of caries among these children was very high and required attention from the government. The factors associated with caries status were analyzed using graphical mapping approach and path model analysis. This statistical technique facilitated the visualization through mapping procedure and path modeling analysis of the studied variables. All data were processed and analyzed using SAS (for Canonical Correspondence Analysis) and SPSS (Logistic Regression) software.

    The mapping of spatial patterns of property crime In Malaysia
    (Journal of Business and Social Development, 2016) Syerrina Zakaria; Nuzlinda Abdul Rahman
    The objective of the study is to explore the geographic distribution and temporal patterns of property crime cases in Peninsular Malaysia by using spatial analysis. The property crime data from the year 2000 until 2009 was used in this study. To obtain the optimum number of crime components, the space-time Normal Mixture Models was used. Based on the results of this model, the mapping was presented. This map displays the spatial distribution of crime occurrence in 82 districts of Peninsular Malaysia. From this analysis, property crimes can be categorized into two components. There is a relationship between the property crime rate with household income and poverty. It was observed that as the household income increased in Johor, Selangor and Kuala Lumpur, the rate of property crime decreased. Also, the high incidence of poverty increased property crime rate. This scenario can be seen at the states situated at the east coast region of the study area. The findings of this study can be used by the government, policy makers or responsible agencies to take any related action in crime prevention, human resource allocation and law enforcement.

    Thalassemia is a blood related illness though descendant. Increasing number of patients suffering from thalassemia, especially among children has been reported year by year and has been identified ahead of other hereditary diseases in many parts of the world especially in Malaysia.
