The internet is a medium that is soaring in polarity in almost every facet of the world and is used for a myriad of reasons by individuals, governments, universities and businesses. As far as businesses are concerned, the internet has been subject to a variety of experimentations that seek to determine the viability of using the internet to improve business practices in various industries especially in computer industry in Malaysia. One particular aspect of business is that the internet marketing has a great impact on computer industry in Malaysia. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effects of security and privacy information on trust & trustworthiness and loyalty in online marketing. Data were gathered from 104 respondents who are the literate Malaysian and the foreigners in Malaysia that are able to read and write and hence capable of using internet and its facilities. The results showed that there is a significant correlation between trust & trustworthiness and security and privacy information. The results also revealed that there is a significant correlation between loyalty in online marketing and trust & trustworthiness.

Introduction Social factors can affect the vulnerability of disaster‐prone communities. This review aimed to identify and categorize social vulnerability indicators in the COVID‐19 pandemic. Methods This systematic review was conducted in February 2021. Bibliographies, citation databases, and other available records were investigated based on the aim of the study. The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal tools were applied for assessing the included articles retrieved through the comprehensive and systematic literature search. Descriptive and thematic analyses were done to extract the indicators affecting social vulnerability in the COVID‐19 pandemic. Results Thirty‐one eligible articles were included and 85 indicators of social vulnerability were extracted. The indicators were categorized in seven main categories, including; Household, community composition; Race, minority status and language; Socioeconomic status; Community health status; Public health infra‐structures; Education; Information, technology and communication. Conclusion Regions with higher social vulnerability experienced greater mortality rates during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Additional research is needed to measure the social vulnerability index in pandemics to prioritize distribution of scarce resources and ensure effectiveness and equity for all regions of countries.

Noninducibility of the arrhythmia is the widely accepted endpoint of successful ablation of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT).C atheter ablation of the slow pathway has been accepted as a highly effective treatment, with low recurrence rates, for patients with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT).1 Complete elimination of the slow pathway is not necessary for long-term symptomatic relief of the arrhythmia; the most widely accepted endpoint for acute success of the procedure is noninducibility of the arrhythmia. 1,2Routinely after slow-pathway ablation, attempts at reinduction of arrhythmia are performed, with or without isoproterenol or other provocative medications. Some physicians use isoproterenol after ablation regardless of its use before ablation (strategy 1), [3][4][5][6][7] whereas others use isoproterenol after ablation of AVNRT only when it had been necessary for arrhythmia induction before ablation (strategy 2). [8][9][10][11][12] However, the published data available for the comparison of these 2 strategies are inadequate. 13,14 In any event, the effectiveness of arrhythmia reproducibility in evaluating the success of AVNRT ablation has not been well defined: AVNRT inducibility is not reproducible in more than one third of cases, 15 and that failure of inducibility after ablation might sometimes indicate the absence of reproducibility, rather than the success of ablation.To avoid the confounding effect of nonreproducibility, we designed this study to investigate whether the post-ablation administration of isoproterenol for reinduction of AVNRT (in patients in whom the original arrhythmia had been reproducibly inducible without the use of any provocative agent) has any effect on the long-term recurrence rate of the arrhythmia. In both strategies stated above, isoproterenolwhen necessary for arrhythmia induction before ablation-is also used to evaluate the inducibility of AVNRT after ablation. Therefore, we did not include in our study any patients who needed isoproterenol for initial induction of AVNRT.

Compared to DP alone, earliest PP (with or without concomitant DP) might be superior for selection of target site of RF ablation in patients with ILVT.
