    The objective of the study was to analyze the consequences of interest rate on healthcare industry in selected ASEAN country for the period 2005 to 2015. Interest rate were established as the dependent variable while the independent variables were economic growth, inflation, unemployment rate, exchange rate and healthcare industry. The study sought to understand the relationship between the independent variables and dependent variable. This research will be focused on healthcare industry in five selected Asian country which is Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand because nowadays healthcare industry seem to be an important part in the economy of a country. The sample of countries selected are depended on their interest rate performance. While, the data provided in this research are based on World Bank data covers the period from 2005 to 2015. In addition, the researcher proposed to use the dynamic panel data in order to explore the relationship between interest rate and a number of independent variables: economic growth, inflation, unemployment, exchange rate and healthcare industry. These independent variable are choose as they seen to be the most key factor that affecting interest rate. Furthermore, the researcher decide to use healthcare expenditure as new measurement for this study.

    This study aimed to clarify the differences on friction coefficient of footwear used in futsal when mechanically measured in two different sliding direction. Available Friction Coefficient (AFC) and Traction Force (TF) of three futsal footwear with different outsole design (S1, S2 and S3) were measured using a novel six-degree of freedom mechanical test in anteroposterior (AP) and mediolateral (ML) sliding direction. Results have shown differences of AFC value when measured in different sliding direction (AP and ML) for all three shoes. In addition, it was observed that S2 shoe was the least affected in terms of reduction of AFC value when compared between AP and ML direction. It was also observed that among the three shoes tested, S2 has produced the highest TF in both AP and ML direction as compared with other shoes. From these findings, it can be suggested that traction performance of sports footwear should be evaluated by multi-directional sliding approach, and conventional one directional footwear evaluation standard such as BE EN ISO 13287 is most likely not adequate to analyse sports footwear–sports playing surface traction performance in real world.
