Proposal of a Model for Planning and Control at the Public University: Contrasting through Deterministic and Stochastic Frontiers

The experience of one man, Isaac Henderson, provides the lens through which this study examines the operation during the Civil War of the federal expenditure control system of the USA. This system’s requisitioning, disbursing and auditing activities cannot be disentangled from the patronage system and profiteering that inevitably accompany war. Surging activity levels brought on by the war only aggravated the existing weaknesses. Rigidities, redundancies and formalities within the Treasury Department delayed disbursement processing and the subsequent auditing of those disbursements. Clerks who approved disbursements also audited the same disbursements. The focus on appropriation accounting — rather than on information for planning and control purposes — reflected the view that controls existed primarily to assure Congress and the public that money was spent in conformity with laws and regulations. Improper charges were sometimes intentionally placed against appropriations with available balances. Thus the most significant contribution of the federal expenditure control system may well have been to help legitimize wartime spending to Congress and the American people.

Operational Tool

The state as a political structure of great importance for society, requires planning and control instruments to maintain its essential fines for which it was created, among these instruments is the public budget, which is an administrative as well as an operational tool for decision-making by the government, in order to achieve or obtain fines from the state through the development plans and, finally, to be able to promote the satisfaction of the basic needs of the population. The purpose of this research is to develop the most relevant aspects of the history and current affairs of the legal regime of the Venezuelan budgetary system, where it is emphasized that there is extensive material between documents and books, which have occasionally been selected to limit the most important aspects. relevant. Likewise, it is important to point out that this study is limited to the doctrinal historical evolution, but not to its dissertation in relation to its phases, execution, and evaluation. For the investigation, direct observation of laws, official state portals and Venezuelan doctrine was detected as a data collection instrument.

Pastoral Farming

The growth in horticultural and some industrial development in selected areas of Northland has led to a need for more specific and careful planning and control of limited resources in a number of major catchments. The potential irrigation demands for horhculture comprise over 60% of Northland's potential water requirements. By contrast, farm water supply needs are only 11% of these needs. Because of their importance to the Northland economy, and in the legislation these needs are given a high priority in water resource management planning. Land uses, including pastoral farming, require careful operation to reduce diffuse sources of pollution.

Recent Developments

Recently, theology has garnered renewed attention in the academy. For various reasons, both theologians and some religious studies scholars have argued that theology deserves to be brought into greater dialogue with other disciplines, and some have even argued that theology ought to be taught in the public university. There are interesting arguments to be made that theology is more similar to other disciplines than might initially be supposed, and even that it is at the cutting edge of certain recent developments in scholarship more broadly. There are also, however, noteworthy barriers to incorporating theology more fully into the academy, and these may present significant challenges to inter-disciplinary dialogue and the possibility of productive exchange between theology and other areas of research.
