Tax burden outlier inhibits the growth of small and micro enterprises. This paper introduces the risk allocation of tax burden to measure the tax burden outlier. Using a time-varying nonparametric benchmark and path model, this paper measures the tax risk allocation of 3552 small and micro enterprises in the credit insurance fund from January 2016 to August 2018. This paper explores the configuration of tax burden risk allocation and discusses the changes along time and with the addition of other variables. Finally, this paper gives an analysis of strategies to improve tax burden risk allocation. The results provide decision support for reducing the tax burden and promoting the growth of small and micro enterprises.

The Relationship

Regional rail transit eases downtown residents gathering,improves living conditions,and develops satellite towns.Maximum operation speed and average distance between stations play an important role in transportation efficiency and function orientation.There are no specific specifications for planning regional rail transit in China,and foreign specifications are inapplicable.The paper researches the relationship between maximum operation speed and average distance between stations of regional rail transit,and calculates the matcing values of the two.Taking Beijing R1 line as an example, the paper determines maximum operation speed and average distance between stations through traction calculation and dimensionless evaluation model,and verifies each indicator.Each determined value is consistent with the R1 line planned value by comparing.The research provide decision support for future planning of regional rail transit.

7014 Background: Clinical oncology pathways (COP) provide decision support and benchmarking against national standards. Some organizations provide financial incentives for using COP-recommended treatment (on pathway: OnP). Treatment (Rx) other than COP recommended Rx (off pathway: OffP) is appropriate for some cases. There are limited data on the appropriateness of OffP Rx. This study examines rates and reasons for OffP Rx in one cancer center. Methods: All systemic Rx decisions entered in the ClinicalPath COP from 10/1/18 - 9/30/19 were classified as OnP (including Rx on a clinical trial) or OffP and as adjuvant/neoadjuvant therapy (ADJ) or for metastatic cancer (MET). Oncologists must provide free text reasons for OffP Rx. Records of all OffP care were reviewed by a senior nurse-led team and physician to verify and classify OffP reasons. Cases without clear documentation were referred to the treating oncologist and/or multidisciplinary team for review. Justified OffP reasons (R1-6) were classified as: R1. Documented drug toxicity and/or treatment-limiting co-morbidity; R2. Prior treatment precluding pathway Rx; R3. New drug indication or molecular targeted therapy not in COP; R4. Continuation of Rx started prior to referral; R5. Other clearly documented and reviewed provider or multidisciplinary team rationale; and R6. Patient preference. Results: There were 2,997 COP treatment decisions for 2,389 patients. The OnP rate was higher for ADJ than for MET Rx (87% vs. 78%). Non-justified OffP care accounted for 1% of cases. 69% of OffP Rx was because of known drug toxicity, co-morbidity limiting therapy, prior therapy precluding COP choice, and new drug indications (Table). Conclusions: COPs provide decision support and practice benchmarking. Lower OnP rates for MET Rx likely reflect the nuances of Rx for advanced cancer. Most OffP care was justified and appropriate. Financial incentives that focus on the percentage of COP OnP care could paradoxically harm the quality of care, especially given the high percentage of OffP decisions for reasons of drug toxicity, co-morbidity and new drug indications.

Monitoring And Early Warning

There is a growing gap between the complexity of major socioecological systems and the assumptions embedded in mainstream models of the dynamics of biophysical and socioeconomic systems. Whereas the models typically assume that changes will be linear and gradual, real-world systems often feature changes that are nonlinear and abrupt. A particularly striking feature of socioecological systems is that they are reflexive. As the case of self-fulfilling prophecies makes clear, however, reflexivity can turn out to be a problem in efforts to govern complex systems. Achieving sustainability in such settings calls for efforts to harness reflexivity, enhance adaptability, and cope with increased uncertainty. Dealing with reflexivity requires the creation of negative feedback mechanisms that kick in when systems move toward a tipping point or point of no return. Enhancing adaptation involves the development of effective monitoring and early warning procedures that can provide a basis for instituting adaptive changes. Coping with uncertainty encompasses creative uses of scientific assessments, simulations, and scenarios. None of these methods allows policymakers to benefit from accurate predictions regarding the benefits and costs of available options. But they do provide decision support tools that allow policymakers to think systematically about the relative merits of the options available to them.

Many consider tools for plant-based irrigation management methods to be the most precise way to manage irrigation in either a research or a commercial settings. Although many types of tools are available, they all measure some aspect of water movement along the soil–plant–atmosphere continuum. This article presents some of the more commonly used tools and the methods involved to properly employ them. In addition, recent literature is reviewed to provide context to the methods themselves and also to highlight each one’s specific advantages and disadvantages. Ultimately, there is no clear winner or “best” tool as all have disadvantages, either due to prohibitive cost, the amount of data output, the difficulty of data interpretation, lack of signal resolution, or lack of dynamic ability to provide decision support. Therefore, we conclude that the user should carefully weigh these varied advantages and disadvantages in the context of their production goals before deciding on a given tool for irrigation management.

With the economic globalization and entry’s into World Trade Organization (WTO), human capital pricing has been great strategy fulcrum of Chinese economic growth gradually. At present, sufficient theory guidance on human capital pricing can not be supplied because of studies on human capital pricing is underway stage. This paper, based on the international studies on human capital pricing, analyzes practice of human capital pricing within Chinese aeronautical manufacturers via statistical analysis by the usage of Statistic Product of Science and Society (SPSS). It aims to identify key factors of human capital pricing in China, which can provide decision support for Chinese aeronautical manufacturers.
