This paper presents the results of an erosion processes research on the territory of the morphological unit of Sutilovacki stream, the prevention measures of same processes, as well as the justification of socio-economic investments and a sensitivity analysis of the economic efficiency parameters. The research includes a period from 2017-2032 year, whereby the evaluation methods of professor Gavrilovic are applied in erosion process intensity assessment, on the whole research area, and universal soil loss equation - USLE, on the agricultural land area. Different rates of soil erosion vulnerability are established on the whole research area by applying these methods. Present erosion processes are prevented by the predicted model of future production from the aspect of soil resource protection in the area of the city of Belgrade, by professor Zlatic (1994). Erosion soil losses are significantly diminished and reduced under a tolerable limit, along with the accomplishment of socio-economic justification of investment, examined by the dynamic methods of internal rate of yield, term for the repayment of invested funds, cost-benefit ratio, and net present value. In addition, an analysis of internal rate of yield sensitivity and term for repayment of invested funds are executed. The obtained data indicate justification of the investment.

In this paper we explain some of the difficulties of providing forecasts of the financial benefits of early intervention programmes, focussing on those delivered during the early childhood period. We highlight the diversity of early intervention, and the complexity and multiplicity of outcomes. We summarise recent work at the Early Intervention Foundation to assess the evidence on the impacts of early intervention, recognising the diversity of approaches to delivery and the importance of innovation and local practice as well as of rigorous approaches to evaluating causal effects. We also describe new ways of assessing accurately the local fiscal costs of late intervention and consider the implications of this for addressing the well-established barriers to investment in prevention. Our analysis brings to the fore gaps in the evidence from which even the most rigorous ‘gold-standard’ research is not immune. These limitations prevent the production of an accurate and realistic cost-benefit ratio or net present value for the majority of programmes as delivered in practice. We suggest some paths towards a firmer foundation of evidence and a better alignment of evidence and policy.

<p>This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of three types of nutrient solutions on the development, performance, quality and cost of chonto tomato (<em>Solanum lycopersicum</em> L.) under semi-controlled conditions. The assessment was conducted in the farm Tesorito, Manizales, Colombia. An experimental design was established in randomized complete blocks (RCB), with 3 treatments, 4 replicates per treatment and 10 effective plants per replicate. The variables were: height of the first cluster, production per plant, yield t ha-1 and qualities of the fruit. The economic variables were production costs, cost-benefit ratio (C/BR), rate of return (IRR) and net present value (NPV). In general, production per plant was greater than 4.7 kg plant<sup>-1</sup> and the average yield was 92 t ha<sup>-1</sup>. The use of conventional fertilization (tt2) generated increased production of premium quality fruit with a value of 37.11 t ha<sup>-1</sup>, demonstrating that conventional soil fertilization implemented in this culture under semi-controlled conditions in the company of drip irrigation system in the root zone improve outcomes of productive variables, increasing profitability and competitiveness with a net profit of USD$ $ 25203.68 ha<sup>-1</sup>, with average selling price of USD$ 0.45 per kilogram and a unit production margin of USD$ 0.21 per kilogram, making this technology attractive and economically viable.</p>

BACKGROUND: Bladder cancer accounts for 5-10% of all cancers in Europe and up to 85% patients presents a noninvasive tumor, whose treatment of choice is the transurethral bladder resection (TURB) paired with adjuvant intravesical chemotherapy or immunotherapy. Despite several clinical trials showed that this treatment is safe and decreases recurrences by 17% to 44% this practice is limited for many reasons. The study objective is to analyze the economical advantages of the single immediate post operative Mitomycin C instillation in Non Muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) low-risk patients.METHODS: A cost-benefit analysis was performed evaluating the economical gain that would raised from a scenario with a single immediate post operative mitomycin C instillation in each low-risk NMIBC patient who underwent to TURB. Net present value and cost-benefit ratio were calculated and sensitivity analyses were performed. Base case analysis was performed considering tumor recurrence rate reduction of 11.7% and a TURB costs of 2,167.0 €, while sensitivity analyses were performed using a recurrence rate reduction of 19.2% and 15.0% and a TURB cost of 2,472.93 €. The discount rate was 2%.RESULTS: The single immediate post operative instillation of mitomycin C resulted to be cost-beneficial with a cost-benefit ratio that goes from 0.48 to 0.79 when compared to TURB alone raising a Net Present Value that goes from 660,284.39 € to 2,650,530.79 €.CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that even assuming conservative parameters for recurrence rates reduction, a single immediate post operative mitomycin C instillation in low risk NMIBC patients would lower not only the recurrence rate but also the caring cost for bladder cancer.

RESUMO:  O objetivo deste trabalho consistiu em avaliar a viabilidade econômico-financeira de empreendimentos de construção e demolição realizarem a reciclagem de fragmentos de concreto e cerâmica. Para tal, foram projetados quatro cenários econômicos considerando construtoras responsáveis pela geração de diferentes quantidades de resíduos de construção e demolição (RCD’s), nos quais foi orçada uma britadeira móvel para a reciclagem do material. Os custos relacionados à aquisição, operação e manutenção da britadeira, foram confrontados em fluxos de caixa, com as receitas provenientes do uso ou venda do material reciclado na forma de brita n° 0, bem como da economia com caçambas de entulhos. Posteriormente, a rentabilidade dos projetos foi avaliada mediante o fator de recuperação do capital, o valor presente líquido e a taxa interna de retorno. Quanto maior a produção de RCD’s, maior também é a relação custo-benefício da aquisição da britadeira e, em função da maior quantidade de brita n° 0 reciclada (passível de ser utilizada na produção de contrapiso ou comercializada) e da maior economia com caçamba de entulhos, maiores são as receitas adquiridas, menor é o período de retorno do capital investido e maior é a rentabilidade financeira dos cenários projetados. A reciclagem de RCD’s além de proporcionar benefícios ambientais, pode ser um investimento financeiramente atrativo. ABSTRACT: The objective of this work was to evaluate the economic and financial feasibility of construction and demolition projects to carry out the recycling of concrete and ceramic fragments. For this, four economic scenarios were designed considering constructors responsible for the generation of different amounts of construction and demolition waste (RCD's), in which a mobile squeegee was used to recycle the material. The costs related to the acquisition, operation and maintenance of the crushing machine were compared to cash flows, with revenues from the use or sale of recycled material in the form of gravel No. 0, as well as the economy with litter bins. Subsequently, the profitability of the projects was evaluated by the capital recovery factor, the net present value and the internal rate of return. The higher the production of RCD’s, the greater the cost-benefit ratio of the purchase of the crushing machine and, due to the greater quantity of recycled crushed stone (which can be used in the production of sub-floor or commercialized) and the largest economy with a bucket of debris, the higher are the revenues acquired, the lower the return period of invested capital and the greater the financial profitability of the projected scenarios. Recycling RCD’s in addition to providing environmental benefits can be a financially attractive investment.

The objective of this study was to analyze the influence of the adoption of single-phase and two-phase system on the economic feasibility of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) family production in the Tracuateua municipality, Pará state. The operational cost methodology and economic efficiency indicators were adopted to compare these rearing systems. The annual production was 4,200 kg and 5,826 kg. The operational costs were R$ 26,169.00 and R$ 34,365.00, the total operational cost was R$ 27,505 and R$ 35,701.00, and the total operational cost per kg was R$ 6.55 and R$ 6.13 for single-phase and two-phase systems, respectively. Regarding the indicators, the net present value was R$ 24,180.70, the internal rate of return was 24%, the cost-benefit ratio was 1.19, and the capital return period was four years in the single-phase system. In the two-phase period, the net present value was R$ 48,582.06, the internal rate of return was 29%, the cost-benefit ratio was 1.25, and the capital return period was 3.6 years. Despite the demand for greater investment, the two-phase system proved to be more profitable than the single-phase system, promoting even a reduction in unit production cost.
