This paper deals with two important issues related to the decision making in the financial field: Big Data and Multicriteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods. To handle the combination between them, we apply the so-called MapReduce paradigm, which is widely deployed in big data analysis, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), which is the most used method among the MCDM methodologies. The main gap to cover is shown in two directions; on the one hand, how big data analysis can help to overcome the limitations of methodologies such as AHP when a vast number of alternatives are present, on the other hand, we look at how MCDM methods can help big data analysis to go one step beyond, that is to say, to move from the predictive to the prescriptive analysis. To illustrate the whole approach, we show its application to a real world decision problem concerning the sale of travel insurances. Our methodology returns an accurate ranking of potential clients before being contacted by the sales agent working for a commercial bank. So it helps to the sales profession by contributing to the creation of value for customers and to the sales professionals by optimizing their functions.

Studies using Abroma Augusta Mother Tincture have reported beneficial effect from treating in Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a clinical syndrome characterized by hyperglycemia due to absolute or relative deficiency of insulin. There is disturbance of intermediary metabolism mainly manifesting as chronic hyperglycemia. Diabetes Mellitus is a global health problem that is often treated with homeopathy. Objective: The objective of this review will be to evaluate the effectiveness of homoepathic medicines in Type 2 diabetes mellitus with Abroma Augusta Mother Tincture. Material and Method: Thirty cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus (Diagnosed based on clinical history and investigations). Abroma Augusta Mother Tincture prescribed for these cases and follow up every one month up to six months. Results: Over a period of 6 months, there was a significant reduction in all the clinical parameters which includes Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS), Post Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS) in test group with t test (P=0.0001) . i.e. Abroma Augusta Mother Tincture showed significant effect compared to the placebo group. ANOVA repeated measures also showed significant difference (P = 0.001). Conclusion: There is a significant reeducation in blood glucose levels in cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus before, during and after with Abroma Augusta Mother Tincture.
使用Abroma Augusta母酊剂的研究报道了治疗2型糖尿病的有益效果。糖尿病是一种以胰岛素绝对或相对缺乏引起高血糖为特征的临床综合征。有中间代谢紊乱,主要表现为慢性高血糖。糖尿病是一个全球性的健康问题,通常用顺势疗法治疗。目的:本综述的目的是评价同势疗法药物与Abroma Augusta母酊联合治疗2型糖尿病的疗效。材料与方法:30例2型糖尿病(根据临床病史和调查诊断)。Abroma Augusta Mother酊剂用于这些病例,并每一个月至六个月随访一次。结果:6个月后,试验组患者空腹血糖(FBS)、餐后血糖(PPBS)等各项临床指标均显著降低,经t检验(P=0.0001)。即,与安慰剂组相比,Abroma Augusta母酊剂显示出显著的效果。方差分析重复测量也显示显著差异(P = 0.001)。结论:Abroma Augusta母酊对2型糖尿病患者的血糖水平有显著的再教育作用。

Diabetes is a major public health problem which occurs both due to environmental and genetic predisposition. The vitamin D deficiency is one of the factor causing type 2 diabetes and increasing its complications. Vitamin D regulates Ca in humans and CYP2R1 gene methylation decreases vitamin D level. Ca plays a pivotal role intracellular signal in the regulation of insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells. So, deficiency of vitamin D due to CYP2R1 gene methylation affects Ca secretion which further affects insulin level. This fluctuation in insulin level due to CYP2R1 gene methylation might results in type 2 diabetes, although this statement needs further verification via experimental methods.

Under-nutrition during infancy and early childhood, when the developmental process are in very dynamic state, substantially increase vulnerability to different types of adverse health effects including infection, immune deficiency and other disease, leads to increased risk of premature death. In 2012, globally 162 million children were stunted, 99 million children were under weight, 51 million were wasted and 45% of 6.9 million child deaths occurred in 2011, which were related to under-nutrition. Methodology: Major determinants of malnutrition in sick children fewer than five years of age were evaluated and compared with age matched well nourished children. The nutritional statuses of the subjects (80 malnourished and 80 well nourished) were determined by measuring MUAC. Different socio-economic indicators of the subjects were evaluated and correlated with malnutrition and disease severity to find out the determinants of malnutrition in children of Jimma town. Results: Most of the severely malnourished were resident of rural area (88.8%). Out of 80 malnourished children, 51(63.75%) were belong to families having monthly income <500 birr, where as in well nourished group (80 children) only 22 (27.5%) were belong to families having monthly income <500 birr. In malnourished group 61.8% of children were having diarrheal episode during past 2 weeks. The prevalence of diarrhea in malnourished group was 21.3% which is higher than well-nourished group. Conclusion: Place of residence, literacy status of mother, family size, family income, vaccination, presence TB, marital status of mother, diarrhea, timing of supplementary diet and water sources are the major determinants of SAM.

As we have witnessed a trend in the recent past years, the consumer is becoming more aware and serious to consume eco–friendly products. The success story of LED Bulb product shows a clear-cut evidence for this. Not only this product but many more technologies are being developed by the companies to maintain its customers. One thing is more important here to mention that the companies is not doing it willingly but it have been forced due to increasing awareness among consumers for Eco–Friendly / Sustainable products which creates a new segment of business. Due to growing importance of eco–friendly products it becomes crucial to study the perception of consumer with respect to sustainable products.
