Reporting Systems

Objectives: Mobile systems are widely adopted in healthcare services. Mobile reporting systems have been recently introduced for social home care by municipalities in Sweden. The study aims to assess the benefits of using these systems.Methods: We followed an expert survey approach. Data were collected by means of telephone interviews with the experts in charge of managing and implementing the systems at the municipalities. In addition, several workshops were organized for assessing the economic value of the systems at one municipality. We performed thematic analysis and cost-benefit analysis of the data.Results: The thematic analysis showed the three main benefits of using the mobile reporting systems in social home care: municipal benefits, care providers’ benefits, and care recipients’ benefits. The cost-benefit analysis indicated that the systems could bring substantial long-term economic value for municipalities. The results also revealed the difficulties encountered at the early stage of the deployment and implementation of the systems.Conclusions: The mobile systems yield benefits for all the actors, that is, municipalities, care recipients and care providers. These enhance the public-private coordination and cooperation in social home care in Sweden. The municipalities are called upon to address change management and technical challenges in the implementation.

Slag Waste

A common issue is that B3 steel slag waste produced by the iron and steel smelting industry is often dumped into the environment and can  lead to environmental pollution. The hazardous waste management that can be performed  is the use  of B3 steel slag waste as a road paving material. The method of analysis of this research is carried out based on the total economic value then a financial feasibility analysis is carried out using the concept of Cost Benefit Analysis (AMB). The purpose of this research is to identify and classify DUV, IUV, to perform a Total Economic Value assessment, and cost-benefit analysis. The result of the classification of the analysis of the total economic value of this research is the direct use value obtained for an  amount of Rp 2.504.943.750.000, an indirect usege value of Rp 11.285.686.875.000, and the total economic value of Rp 13.790.630.625.000. The Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) conducted in this study is financially feasible, because it meets the financial feasibility standards for a project with a NPV value of Rp 4.827.270.437.317, the Net BCR value of 7,78 and the Gross BCR value of 2,02, IRR of 154,2 %, and the Payback Periode of 4 months 3 days.

Purpose Among the many perspectives to analyze war, such as rational actor, organizational process, governmental politics and ethics, the perspective that actually incorporates the costs and benefits into a systematic theoretical structure has hardly been analyzed. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the costs and benefits perspective. Design/methodology/approach Three kinds of value are distinguished, i.e. human, economic and influence. Different actors (politicians, populations, stakeholders, etc). assign different weights to the three kinds of value. Six gradually more complicated models are developed. The first subtracts losses from gains for the three kinds of value. Thereafter, the paper accounts for multiple periods, time discounting, attitude towards risk, multiple stakeholders, subcategories for the three kinds of value, sequential decision-making and game theory. Findings The rich theoretical structure enables assessing costs and benefits more systematically and illuminatingly. The cost benefit analysis is illustrated with the 2003-2011 Iraq War. The paper estimates gained and lost value of human lives, economic value and influence value, and show how different weights impact the decision of whether to initiate war differently. Originality/value The paper provides scientists and policy makers with a theoretical structure within which to evaluate the costs and benefits of war, accounting for how different actors estimate weights, the future, risk and a variety of parameter values differently.

The tendency to report hate crime victimizationThere are indicators suggesting that the tendency to report hate crime victimization to the police is lower in comparison to crimes without such a motive. There are also reasons to believe that victims of hate crime base their cost-benefit analysis of whether to report on a unique set of factors that differ from other crime types. The present study compares report rates for hate crimes and crimes without a bias-motive among Swedish university students. Reasons from refraining from reporting are also examined though a thematic analysis. The results show that victims of hate crime report their victimization to a significantly lower extent than other victims. Those who refrain from reporting trivialize and normalize their experiences, find alternative solutions to handle their victimization, and/or have a low trust in the police

The Cost

This cost-benefit analysis studies the most significant costs and benefits of the new requirement in Washington, D.C. that all parents of sixth-grade girls certify that their children are vaccinated against the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Thelargest costs are the economic cost of purchasing the vaccine and the costs of administration to providers, which total just over $2.1 million per year. Additional costs that cannot be easily monetized but are included conceptually include the potential for adverse events and opportunity costs of providers and parents. The largest potential for benefits from this policy relate to the two diseases prevented by the vaccine: genital warts and cervical cancer. By quantifying the cost of treatment for both diseases and estimating the economic value of lives lost, this analysis estimates the benefits to be nearly $1.5 million yearly. Thus, the economic analysis finds this policy inefficient, since benefits greatly outweigh costs in all but one scenario of sensitivity analysis. The analysis also identifies the limitations of this study and of cost-benefit analysis generally, and cautions against the sole use of cost-benefit analysis, especially for health policy decisions.

Abstract— Population growth impacts on accumulating basic need. Basic foodstuff of Indonesia people is rice. The rice is derived from paddy field. The availability of paddy land use need to be maintained due to the continuously of supporting aspects ie water, paddy field. Therefore,  it is necessary to manage rice crops to yield more production. Irrigation is one way to increase rice production. Irrigation plays an important role in the success of rice production. An important role of this irrigation should be assessed economically. The economic value of irrigation for paddy production needs to be studied. An important role of the irrigation should be assessed econmically. The economic value of irrigation for paddy production needs to be studied. Study of economic value is important so that people know that the irrigation water is an important contribution in the production of rice in addition to seeds, fertilizer and labor. It is necessary for economic calculation.This study aimed to quantify the economic value of watersheds to irrigate rice fields. Economic value calculation is conducted using benefit and cost benefit analysis on use of irrigation watershed in Cahaya Alam village.
