Mobile Telecommunications is an essential service that fundamentally affects quality of life by improving communication, the ability of business and industry to improve productivity and for the nation to compete successfully in the global digital economy. There are three fundamental and measurable parameters that, when combined, provide the basis upon which judgements about mobile telecommunications can be made. The parameters are cost, access and performance. Information is readily available about the first two parameters. Quantifiable information is not available about performance. Regional mobile telecommunications is further complicated by factors including population density, the cost of transit or backhaul and infrastructure subsidies. This paper provides a discussion on regional mobile telecommunications performance and focuses on throughput (capacity). The paper recommends that regional mobile telecommunications performance data be collected and that minimum performance standards for regional mobile telecommunications be legislated.

The quality of the software can be measured by its return on investment. Factors which may affect the return on investment (ROI) is the tangible factors (such as the cost) dan intangible factors (such as the impact of software to the users or stakeholder). The factor of the software itself are assessed through reviewing, testing, process audit, and performance of software. This paper discusses the consideration of return on investment (ROI) assessment criteria derived from the software and its users. These criteria indicate that the approach may support a rational consideration of all relevant criteria when evaluating software, and shows examples of actual return on investment models. Conducted an analysis of the assessment criteria that affect the return on investment if these criteria have a disproportionate effort that resulted in a return on investment of a software decreased. Index Terms - Assessment criteria, Quality assurance, Return on Investment, Software product

Performance is measured and done, the quality represents a key element to achieve the performance, especially customer service quality. In response to the pressure of globalization, the market increasingly competitive and volatile market dynamics that, many organizations actively seeking ways to add value to their services and improve their quality of service. Organizations usually tend to make their operations efficient priority. This process begins with the assessment of nevojave customers, their requirements and assessing the performance of domestic human resources in organization and performance depends on the outcome of the estimated earlier. Since this process can proceed in different directions. The causes of these results may be the lack of information and support of high-level management, performance standards unclear, inaccuracies assessors, very large number of forms to be completed and the use of software for the opposite purpose.

ABSTRACTBudgeting is an important tool used by the management in carrying out the functions of planning and control, no exception to public sector organizations and government. The Indonesian government continues to implement the best practices of budgeting, one of which is through the implementation of performance-based budgeting.In a performance-based budgeting, the budget is prepared by formulating outputs or outcomes to be achieved. This formulation is done by the respective ministries/agencies in accordance with the functions of their respective organizations. All information related to the performance of then integrated into a document Work Plan and Budget-Ministry/Agency (RKA-K/L) as the basis of discussion of the budget document by the legislative board. However, in practice, ministries/agencies have not been able to compile performance information appropriately. The quality of outputs and outcomes compiled considered not in accordance with the strategic objectives and functions of the ministries/agencies concerned. Another problem related to budgeting is improper planning which led to the absorption of current year's budget to less than optimal. Through this paper, researchers will present problems related to the issue of the budget that comes from the weakness of the architecture and performance information on the ministries/agencies. Responding to the challenges of the need of better budgeting, the government began compiling Arsitektur dan Informasi Kinerja (ADIK) to improve the application of performance-based budgeting approach before. ADIK implementation on Financial Training Center of Makassar gives an overview effort of applying this new architecture. It is expected the new budgeting architecture implemented during Fiscal Year 2016 increases the optimum benefits. Keywords: budgeting, performance-based budgeting, performance information, ADIK. ABSTRAKPenganggaran merupakan alat penting bagi manajemen organisasi, tidak  terkecuali organisasi sektor publik, dalam menjalankan fungsi perencanaan dan pengendalian. Instansi pemerintah terus berupaya mengelola praktik terbaik penganggaran, salah satunya adalah melalui penganggaran berbasis kinerja (PBK).Dalam PBK, anggaran disusun dengan merumuskan output atau outcome yang hendak dicapai. Perumusan ini dilakukan oleh kementerian/lembaga sesuai dengan fungsi organisasi masing-masing. Seluruh informasi kinerja diintegrasikan menjadi sebuah dokumen Rencana Kerja dan Anggaran Kementerian Negara/Lembaga (RKA- K/L) sebagai dokumen dasar pembahasan anggaran dengan badan legislatif. Namun pada praktiknya, kementerian/lembaga belum mampu menyusun informasi kinerja dengan tepat. Kualitas output dan outcome yang disusun belum sepenuhnya sesuai dengan sasaran strategis dan fungsi kementerian/lembaga yang bersangkutan. Masalah itu terkait erat dengan perencanaan yang kurang baik sehingga penyerapan anggaran kurang tepat sasaran.Melalui tulisan ini, dipaparkan isu permasalahan terkait anggaran yang bersumber dari lemahnya bangunan informasi kinerja pada kementerian/lembaga. Menjawab tantangan penganggaran yang lebih baik, pemerintah mulai menyusun Arsitektur dan Informasi Kinerja (ADIK) untuk mempertajam penerapan PBK. Penerapan ADIK pada Balai Diklat Keuangan Makassar memberikan gambaran upaya penerapan arsitektur yang baru ini. Diharapkan arsitektur penganggaran baru yang diimplementasikan mulai Tahun Anggaran 2016 ini meningkatkan manfaat penganggaran yang lebih optimal. Kata kunci: anggaran, PBK, informasi kinerja, ADIK.

Today, in most large and small project-based organizations, senior managers, especially project managers, face many challenges in terms of resource allocation. Therefore, to reduce the cost and execution time as well as improve the quality of the project, the approach should be shifted from traditional management to scientific management to optimize the efficiency and performance of a project over its lifetime. To achieve this, an organized system for project management and planning will be needed. This study examines whether Iranian companies are familiar with project management in terms of cost, budget, and risk management. A questionnaire was designed to investigate how project funding (initial and during a project) is funded and how they manage risks throughout the project and are distributed to companies. Another reason is the severe international sanctions that have cast a heavy shadow over the Iranian economy and, unfortunately, cannot be ignored. No matter how economically self-sufficient a country is, the need for cooperation and exchange in neighboring or non-neighboring countries cannot be ignored. Therefore, this paper firstly reviews the theoretical framework of previous research on project management in Iran. Then the research methodology and how to collect and analyze the data are considered. The following is an overview of the problems encountered in the project management process in Iran. Finally, recommendations and suggestions will be provided.

Abstract The quality of goods provided by public utilities depends on infrastructure features and operational inputs. I compare the economic efficiency that results from price ceilings and minimum quality standards (i. e., compliance with environmental, chemical, and performance standards and norms) imposed by a benevolent regulator to a Coasean bargaining solution between a median consumer and a monopolist. When quality is non-excludable and non-rival, rate-of-return regulation yields higher economic efficiency than price cap regulation.

Thirty consecutive patients with amputation or devascularizing injuries of the thumb or two or more fingers proximal to the PIP joint were reviewed. Replantation or revascularization had been done in 27 patients, in 24 successfully. Three patients had primary amputation. The distribution of calculable costs was dominated by those for sick leave (49%), operation (26%) and ward costs (20%). Out-patient care, physiotherapy and travel together constituted only 6%. The cost of a successful replantation was equal to 1.6 times the mean annual salary of these patients and that of primary amputation about half as much. Mobility, power and performance of a standardized grip test were better for the successfully replanted or revascularized patients. Subjective evaluation of 23 parameters of function, cosmesis and quality of life did not disclose any differences. All patients except three had returned to their original work within 2 years.

The quality of budgeting is an instrument to assess the performance of the entity. Analysis of budget execution can be engaged by comparing budget realization in LRA and budget in DIPA. The budgetary variances arise due to differences, but unfortunately the government has not been intensively using variance analysis as an evaluation of budgeting. The qualitative research with this case study approach aimed to analyze the variance of the budget and relate it to the performance assessment of Foreign Corporate and Individual Tax Service Office. The results showed the absorption rate of 94,42% with variance (difference) of IDR974.697.831 or equivalent to 5,58% for expenditure activities. The absorption of the budget encourages the achievement of output targets and Key Performance Indicators (IKU) that impact on the Performance Value Organization (NKO) at a good level of 93,57%. The study recommends the importance of reviewing the accuracy of the expenditure allocation and budgeting must also meet the criteria of Architecture and Performance Information (ADIK). ABSTRAK Kualitas penganggaran belanja merupakan instrumen untuk menilai kinerja satuan kerja. Analisis pelaksanaan anggaran dapat dilakukan dengan membandingkan realisasi anggaran pada Laporan Realisasi Anggaran (LRA) dan anggaran pada Daftar Isian Pelaksanaan Anggaran (DIPA). Varians anggaran belanja timbul akibat perbedaan, namun sayangnya pemerintah belum intensif menggunakan analisis varians sebagai evaluasi penganggaran. Penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus ini bertujuan menganalisis varians anggaran belanja dan mengaitkannya dengan penilaian kinerja KPP Badan dan Orang Asing. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tingkat penyerapan anggaran 94,42% dengan varians (selisih) sebesar Rp974.697.831,00 atau setara dengan 5,58% untuk kegiatan belanja. Penyerapan anggaran tersebut mendorong tercapainya target keluaran dan Indikator Kinerja Utama (IKU) yang berdampak pada Nilai Kinerja Organisasi (NKO) pada level baik yakni 93,57%. Studi merekomendasikan agar ditinjau kembali apakah alokasi belanja telah didistribusikan pada pos-pos yang tepat sehingga realisasi lebih baik lagi. Penyusunan anggaran juga harus memenuhi kriteria Arsitektur dan Informasi Kinerja (ADIK) mengingat kompleksitas revisi jenis belanja.

Crop residues are bulky and low in nutrients. Their size reduction is imperative in order to compound them with other feed ingredients to achieve balanced feedstock for livestock. A chopping and pulverizing machine was designed and constructed to chop and pulverized feed materials. It comprises of chopping hopper, pulverizing hopper, metering device, chopping/ pulverizing chamber, screen and the processed feed outlet. The performance of the machine was evaluated on the basis of throughput capacity, pulverizing efficiency, scatter losses as dependent variables while moisture content was the independent variable. There were two level of speeds (1500 rpm and 2100 rpm) and five levels of moisture content (13 %, 16 %, 19 %, 21 %, 24 %, and 27 % dry basis). The throughput capacity, pulverizing efficiency had highest values of 222 kg/h and of 92.5 % respectively at moisture content level of 13 % (db) and 2100 rpm speed. However, the least scatter losses obtained was 2.5 % at moisture content level of 27 % (db) and 1500 rpm speed. As the moisture content increased, throughput capacity, pulverizing efficiency and scatter losses decreases at both speeds. The developed machine could enhance the use of crop residues in feeding livestock which could ultimately reduce the cost of livestock feed production.
