This LUMAT special issue is a collection of selected papers from the 24th international conference of mathematical views that was held on August 20–22, 2018 in Helsinki, Finland. The conference was a wonderful opportunity to elaborate issues related to mathematics-related affect among colleagues interested in this area of research. The keynote at the conference was given by Reinhard Pekrun with a title: “Achievement emotions in mathematics”.  Out of the 25 conference presentations, 12 were submitted as a manuscript for peer review. We had one reviewer selected among MAVI 24 participants, and another reviewer was invited among mathematics affect researchers who were not at the conference. After the review and revisions, we ended up with eight articles that you can read in this special issue.

This article presents a method for design of improving medical record area in OPD of a governmental hospital case study, Mahasarakham Hospital, Thailand. By using a simulation model which is Petri Nets model for simulating and analysis of coming patients and their relatives in the hospital case study during 6:30-16:00 of the working days. The results found the application was applicable. Recommendations for the design of improving the waiting area case study were discussed and presented in this research.2398-4279 © 2016. The Authors.

The Impact

140 Background: G-CSFs are utilized to lower the incidence of febrile neutropenia (FN) in patients with cancers treated with chemotherapy. In 2015 filgrastim-sndz was the first biosimilar to be approved and launched in the US. Limited data exists on the impact of biosimilars on patient out-of-pocket (OOP) expenditures. The objective of this simulation model is to estimate potential OOP cost savings through use of filgrastim-sndz (FIL-S) over reference filgrastim (FIL-REF) from a Medicare lung cancer patient perspective. Methods: An Excel simulation analysis was conducted among lung cancer patients treated with biosimilar FIL-S or FIL-REF (identified through HCPCS codes). Data from the 2016 Medicare Limited Data Set was used to populate the model. Average Medicare payment to the provider and beneficiary OOP responsibility per claim of either FIL-S or FIL-REF were calculated. The average OOP reduction per claim for a FIL-S beneficiary relative to a FIL-REF beneficiary was multiplied to a hypothetical FN prevalent population of 100,000 beneficiaries (average of 10 claims per beneficiary) to estimate the potential OOP savings. Results: Data from 525 FIL-S and 621 FIL-REF claims were analyzed. The average Medicare allowed charge amount per claim for a FIL-S beneficiary was $381.7 versus $419.1 for a FIL-REF beneficiary, while corresponding average Medicare payments to the provider were $299.3 and $327.4, respectively. On an average, OOP responsibility for a FIL-S beneficiary was lower compared to a FIL-REF beneficiary ($76.4 vs. $85.0) leading to a cost saving per claim of approximately $8.60. When extrapolated to 100,000 beneficiaries (1,000,000 claims), the overall cost saving was projected to be around $8.6 million. Conclusions: Our simulation model estimated potential OOP Medicare lung cancer beneficiary savings of around $8.6 million, based on a hypothetical population of 100,000 FN beneficiaries, with the use of biosimilar FIL-S over FIL-REF. Further real-world analyses are required to evaluate the true cost savings potential with the use of biosimilars over reference biologics.

All papers published in this volume of Journal of Physics: Conference Series have been peer reviewed through processes administered by the Editors. Reviews were conducted by expert referees to the professional and scientific standards expected of a proceedings journal published by IOP Publishing. • Type of peer review: Single-blind / Double-blind / Triple-blind / Open / Other In our conference, we do a single-blind peer review where the author does not know who the reviewers are. Submitting papers, editor decisions, review processes were conducted through our system http://ice-elinvo.uny.ac.id/. Reviews were conducted by expert referees to the professional and scientific standards. • Describe criteria used by Reviewers when accepting/declining papers. Was there the opportunity to resubmit articles after revisions? Six criteria must be met by the papers that are included in the ICE-ELINVO 2021 international conference. All reviewers must refer to these six criteria. 1. Is the paper relevant to the conference theme? 2. Does it contribute to the theoretical or practical domains? 3. Does it state the problem statement? 4. Does it comprise an appropriate research methodology or proposed method? 5. Does it describe indicative results? 6. Does it fulfill the requirements of the paper template? Each criterion has a value from the range 1-4. The reviewer will evaluate each criterion, and then the system will add up all the scores for each criterion. The maximum total value is 24. The next stage is that the reviewer will send back the paper reviewed to the author through the system. Finally, authors are given two weeks to correct and resubmit. • Conference submission management system: http://ice-elinvo.uny.ac.id (our University has our own management system for reviewing articles) • Number of submissions received: 84 Papers • Number of submissions sent for review: 68 Papers • Number of submissions accepted: 56 Papers • Acceptance Rate (Number of Submissions Accepted / Number of Submissions Received X 100): 66.67 • Average number of reviews per paper: 2 • Total number of reviewers involved: 48 • Any additional info on review process (ie plagiarism check system): Each manuscript submitted to the ICE-ELINVO 2021 international conference was checked for plagiarism using Turnitin. • Contact person for queries: Muhammad Luthfi Hakim, Department of Electrical Engineering Education, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

The organizing committee of IEMSS 2021 is proud to present the proceedings of the 2021 3rd International Conference on Innovations in Economic Management and Social Science, held in Hohhot, China during November 27-28, 2021.   IEMSS 2021 aims to bring together researchers, scientists, engineers, and scholar students to exchange and share their experience, new ideas, and research results about all aspects of innovations in economic management and social science, and discuss the practical challenges encountered and the solutions adopted.   IEMSS 2021 received more than 50 manuscripts, and less than 40 submissions have been accepted by our reviewers. By submitting a paper to IEMSS 2021, the authors agreed to the review process and understood that papers would undergo a peer-review process. Manuscripts were reviewed by appropriately qualified experts in the field selected by the conference committee, who took detailed comments and-if the submission was accepted-the authors would submit a revised version that took into account this feedback.   Hopefully, all participants and other interested readers will benefit scientifically from the proceedings and also find it stimulating in the process.   With warmest regards,   IEMSS Conference Organizing Committees Hohhot, China
