BACKGROUND In general, early intervention in disease based on early diagnosis is considered to be very important for improving health outcomes. However, there is still insufficient evidence regarding how medical care that is based on the early diagnosis of confirmed cases can affect the outcome of COVID-19 treatment. OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the effect of the duration from the onset of clinical symptoms to confirmation of COVID-19 on the duration from the onset of symptoms to the resolution of COVID-19 (release from quarantine). METHODS For preliminary data collection, we performed data crawling to extract data from social networks, blogs, and official websites operated by local governments. We collected data from the 4002 confirmed cases in 33 cities reported up to May 31, 2020, for whom sex and age information could be verified. Subsequently, 2494 patients with unclear symptom onset dates and 1349 patients who had not been released or had no data about their release dates were excluded. Thus, 159 patients were finally included in this study. To investigate whether rapid confirmation reduces the prevalence period, we divided the duration from symptom onset to confirmation into quartiles of ≤1, ≤3, ≤6, and ≥7 days, respectively. We investigated the duration from symptom onset to release and that from confirmation to release according to these quartiles. Furthermore, we performed multiple regression analysis to investigate the effects of rapid confirmation after symptom onset on the treatment period, duration of prevalence, and duration until release from isolation. RESULTS We performed multiple regression analysis to investigate the association between rapid confirmation after symptom onset and the total prevalence period (faster release from isolation). The time from symptom onset to confirmation showed a negative association with the time from confirmation to release (<i>t</i><sub>1</sub><i>=−</i>3.58; <i>P</i>&lt;.001) and a positive association with the time from symptom onset to release (<i>t</i><sub>1</sub>=5.86; <i>P</i>&lt;.001); these associations were statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS The duration from COVID-19 symptom onset to confirmation date is an important variable for predicting disease prevalence, and these results support the hypothesis that a short duration of symptom onset to confirmation can reduce the time from symptom onset to release.

The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between Corporate Governance (CG) mechanisms and Intellectual Capital (IC) efficiency following the revision of the Malaysian Code of Corporate Governance (MCCG) in 2012. A final sample of 150 large companies was chosen from the companies listed on the main board of Bursa Malaysia for 2014. The Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAIC&trade;) model was utilized to measure the IC efficiency and tested using multiple regression analysis. The multiple regression analysis revealed that board size and frequency of audit committee meetings have a significant and positive association with IC efficiency, but no evidence existed for an association between board composition and role duality on IC efficiency.The result of this study could be useful for regulators and policy makers, particularly to the Securities Commission Malaysia, to further revise and strengthen its MCCG. This study adds to the shortage of literature by providing evidence on the effects of CG attributes on IC efficiency subsequent to the revised Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance (MCCG) 2012.

Seaweed-Kappaphycus-Euchema Cottonii and Denticulum species was first cultivated at Sabah side of Sebatik in 2009. By November 2014, sixty one Sabahan seaweed farmers cultivated 122 ha or 3,050 long lines. Thirty Sabahan seaweed farmers in Kampung Pendekar (3.2 m.t dried) and 31 in Burst Point (12.5 m.t dried) produced 16 metric tonnes of dried seaweed contributed 31% to Tawau’s total production (51 m.t). The remaining 69% were from farmers in Cowie Bay that separates Sebatik from municipality of Tawau. Indonesian in Desa Setabu, Sebatik started in 2008. However, the number of Indonesian seaweed farmers, their cultivated areas and production (as well as quality) in Sebatik increased many times higher and faster than the Sabah side of Sebatik. In 2009 more than 1,401 households in Kabupaten Nunukan (including Sebatik) cultivated over 700 ha and have produced 55,098.95 and 116, 73 m.t dried seaweed in 2010 and 2011 respectively.
