Comparison Member and Candidate Countries to the European Union by Means of Main Health Indicators∗
China-USA Business Review, ISSN 1537-1514 April 2012, Vol. 11, No. 4, 556-563 D D AV I D PUBLISHING Comparison Member and Candidate Countries to the European ∗ Union by Means of Main Health Indicators Fatma Lorcu Trakya University, Edirne, Turkey Bilge Acar Bolat Istanbul University, Istanbul, Turkey Throughout history, health policies and the institutionalization of health care have taken shape according to political and economic conditions, social structures and value systems of societies, as well as to their needs and changes in health conditions. Today, economic development is addressed from a different approach in which the issue of health plays an important part. With a focus on the health sector’s role in development, this new approach has increased the importance of this sector of government and of life, allowing data on health to be included in many countries’ development indicators. The aim of this study is to identify the differences between EU former member states, member states, and candidate countries (including Turkey) in terms of health indicators that have become the key indicators of social and economic development. In this study, discriminant analysis will be used in order to analyse the differences between the European Union (EU) countries, and candidate countries in terms of main health indicators. Under-five mortality rate (‰), health expenditure per capita (PPP US$), total expenditure on health as percent of gross domestic product expenditure (percentage of GDP), immunization coverage among one-year-olds with one dose of measles (%), prevalence of current tobacco use among adults (≥ 15 years) (%), per capita recorded alcohol consumption (litres of pure alcohol) among adults, total fertility rate (%), hospital beds (per 1,000 population), physicians (per 1,000 population) and life expectancy are all included in the analysis as main health indicators of a country’s fitness for acceptance into the EU. -

This study was a randomized controlled trial. Pelvic floor muscle exercises were applied to the procedure group three times a day for 6 months. No exercises were applied to the control group. Incontinence and quality-of-life assessments of the 60 patients in the experimental and control groups were performed on months 0 (10 days after removal of the urinary catheter), 1, 3, and 6 through face-to-face and telephone interviews. Total Incontinence Consultation on Incontinence-Short Form scores, which provide an objective criterion for the evaluation of individuals with incontinence problems, decreased over time. This decrease was statistically highly significant in the third and sixth months. Pelvic muscle floor exercises are suitable for patients experiencing incontinence after radical prostatectomy.

Camino de Vera s/n, Valencia 46022, Spain 2 Long Island University, 720 Northern Blvd., Brookville, NY 11548, USA; E-Mail: [email protected] * [email protected] Abstract The present paper attempts to explore the relationship between the Turkish academic and industry systems by mapping the relationships under web indicators. We used the top 100 Turkish universities and the top 10 Turkish companies in 10 industrial sectors in order to observe the performance of web impact indicators. Total page count metric is obtained through Google Turkey and the pure link metrics have been gathered from Open Site Explorer. The indicators obtained both for web presence and web visibility indicated that there are significant differences between the group of academic institutions and those related to companies within the web space of Turkey. However, this current study is exploratory and should be replicated with a larger sample of both Turkish universities and companies in each sector. Likewise, a longitudinal study rather than sectional would eliminate or smooth fluctuations of web data (especially URL mentions) as a more adequate understanding of the relations between Turkish institutions, and their web impact, is reached. Keywords: Universities, Private companies, Social network analysis, University-Industry transfer, Web indicators, Turkey. 1. Introduction Following teaching and research, transfer activities are one of the most essential part of the third university mission (Montesinos et al. -
