Due to the uncertainty and difficulty of estimating the investment payback period of the airport bridge facility, a model for calculating the investment payback period of bridge facility is proposed in this paper from the perspective of airport routine operation. Based on the actual operational data of Kunming Changshui Airport, Wuhan Tianhe Airport, and Lijiang Sanyi Airport in 2018, the factors influencing the payback period of bridge facility are the number of bridge facilities and service time, which have been discussed in this paper. According to the simulation, it is concluded that the number of bridge facilities and service time are the key points to the length of the investment payback period, and the annual operating cost of the airline can be saved quite a lot. The research results can be used to assist the leaders’ decision-making of airports and airlines for the promotion of the service of bridge facilities.

Without assuming prior legal knowledge, books in the Directions series introduce and guide readers through key points of law and legal debate. Questions, diagrams and exercises help readers to engage fully with each subject and check their understanding as they progress. Trusteeship requires the proper discharge of a number of fundamental duties, such as the duty of undivided loyalty (the fiduciary duty), the duty of care for the trust fund (the duty of care) and the duty to exercise a sound discretion. The trustee must act in the interests of the beneficiaries rather than his own interest. More specifically, the trustee must serve the beneficiaries within their larger obligation to serve the trust in accordance with the terms of the trust instrument and the general law. This chapter examines the general nature of trusteeship. It considers how a trustee meets their fiduciary obligations to the trust, the standard of care which trustees must exercise in service of the trust, the discretionary nature of a trustee’s decision-making powers and the requirement that trustees must act unanimously. The chapter also discusses the self-dealing rule and fair-dealing rule, the Trustee Act 2000 and factors influencing the courts’ willingness to review trustee decisions.

The research purposes were to describe empirically the evidence of manager’s tendency in making decisions on payoff magnitude, and factors influencing it. This research was conducted through experimental design. Population was 152 students of STIE “KBP” Padang registered in 2014/2015 academic year. 60 students randomly were taken as sample of the research; 30 students of accounting department as treatment group, and 30 students of management department as control group. From the research results, it can be seen a significance difference between the manager's tendency in decision making towards Payoff Magnitude, as well as the factors that influence it. The results also showed experiment group tended to be risk taker rather than control group.

This chapter presents an overview of aspects that may influence women and men religious on their religious vocational decision during their childhood with their family and parish, their attendance of primary and secondary school, their participation in parish life, and their college years. The influential aspects addressed are: attending Mass regularly and devotional practices, having the opportunity to discuss and receive encouragement from others to discern a religious vocation, the witness of men and women religious, and being engaged in youth and voluntary ministry programs. The chapter concludes that while not every individual religious has opportunities to experience these activities in various environments before he or she decides to enter religious life, all the aspects complement one another and have an impact on religious vocational discernment and decision-making.

Abstract Background Electronic health (e-health) approaches such as telemedicine, mobile health, virtual healthcare and electronic health records are considered to be effective in increasing access to healthcare services, reducing operational costs and improving the quality of healthcare services during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, a pandemic resulting from the spread of a novel coronavirus discovered in December 2019. In this context, the aim of this study was to identify the most important factors influencing decision making on the implementation of e-health in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates), which are in the process of digitizing healthcare services. Methods This study reviewed the literature to identify the important factors influencing decision making on e-health. In addition, a questionnaire-based survey was conducted in order to identify the most important criteria to be considered in decision making on e-health. The survey link was forwarded to 978 healthcare practitioners and 42 experts (purposive sampling), from which a final sample of 892 (864 practitioners and 28 experts) was achieved, reflecting a response rate of 87.45%. Results Of the 44 factors identified under seven themes (strategic, quality, management, technology, function characteristics, economic, sociocultural and demographic factors), 22 factors were identified to be the most important criteria. Conclusions Findings from this study suggest that decision making in relation to e-health is a complex process that requires consideration of various factors. It was also found that attention should be paid to sociocultural and demographic factors, which may need to be considered in increasing healthcare access during the COVID-19 outbreak.
