This study was conducted to compare the profitability of salt tolerant Binadhan-8 and BR-28 production in coastal Satkhira district of Bangladesh. Thirty salt tolerant Binadhan–8 producing farmers were purposively selected since the introduction of this paddy is new in that area. Another 30 BR-28 producing farmers were selected randomly from the farmers’ list obtained from the Upazila Agriculture Office. Data were collected using pre-tested structured questionnaires. Cost and return analysis as well as functional analysis were performed in this study. The results of the study revealed that per hectare total cost for Binadhan-8 was higher than BR-28 rice. Taking the production into account the total return of Binadhan-8 per hectare was higher than the total return of BR-28 rice per hectare. The sample farmer appeared to have used seeds, Urea, TSP, MP, etc. at less than the required level. Regression analysis suggests that the Binadhan-8 rice growers should limit the use of power tiller and insecticide. Contribution of these inputs to the two varieties was found to be positive but at decreasing rate for BR-28 and at increasing rate for Binadhan-8.

Abstract Background Limited data is available regarding racial disparities in patients admitted for acute pulmonary embolism. Purpose We aimed to examine the impact of racial differences on outcomes in patients admitted for acute pulmonary embolism. Methods We used the Nationwide Inpatient Sample, which represents 20% of community hospital discharges in the US, to identify adult patients who were discharged with the primary diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism in 2016 with ICD-10 codes. Logistic regression analysis and linear regression analysis were used to compare patients with different races. Outcomes were focused on in-hospital mortality, total cost, length of stay and disposition, adjusting gender, age, Charlson comorbid index and socioeconomic variables. Results In 2016, 35,526 patients were admitted with a primary diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism. White patients were more likely to be older and with higher income. After adjusting for the above variables, white patients had lower total cost of hospitalization (p<0.0001), shorter length of stay (p<0.0001), lower in-hospital mortality (adjusted odds ratio = 0.79, p=0.001), and more likely to be discharged to rehabilitation facilities compared to being discharged home. Outcomes in white vs non-white patients Conclusion Among acute pulmonary embolism hospitalizations, white patients generally had better outcomes despite being older in age, and were more likely to be transferred to rehabilitation facilities after discharge.

Surgical Costs

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the association between outpatient orthopedic surgery costs and Japan’s healthcare facilities using a large-scale Japanese medical claims database. Design/methodology/approach The authors obtained reimbursement claims data for 8,588 patients who underwent orthopedic surgery between April 1 and September 30, 2014 at 3,347 Japanese healthcare facilities. Regression analysis, using ordinary least squares, examined the association between outpatient orthopedic surgery costs and healthcare facility characteristics. By using surgical fees as proxy for the surgical costs, the authors defined three dependent variables: surgical cost for each outpatient orthopedic surgery; pre- and post-operative cost one month before and after a surgical operation; and total cost for each patient. The authors also defined five independent variables, which capture healthcare facility characteristics and patient-specific factors: bed count; whether healthcare facilities are reimbursed in a diagnosis procedure combination system; patient’s age; sex; and anatomical surgical sites. Findings The authors analyzed 6,456 outpatient orthopedic surgical cases performed at 3,085 healthcare facilities. There were significant differences in the surgical costs for outpatient orthopedic surgery among different healthcare facilities by total beds (p=0.000). Multivariate regression analysis shows that surgical costs for outpatient orthopedic surgery are positively and significantly associated with healthcare facilities classified by total beds after adjusting for patient-specific characteristics (p<0.05). Originality/value This is the first research to examine the association between costs for outpatient orthopedic surgery and healthcare facility characteristics in Japan. This study via the multivariate regression method showed that outpatient orthopedic surgery is likely to cost higher as healthcare facility size increased. The average incremental costs for each outpatient orthopedic surgery per 100 beds were calculated at $48.5 for surgery, $40.7 for pre- and post-operative care, and $89.2 total cost.

Rice, generally classified as a typical glycophyte, often faces abiotic stresses such as excessive drought, high salinity, prolonged submergence, cold, and temperature, which significantly affects growth, development, and ultimately, grain yield. Among these negative impacts of abiotic factors in rice production, salinity stress is a major constraint, followed by drought. There is considerable research on the use of marker-assisted selection (MAS), genome editing techniques, and transgenic studies that have profoundly improved the present-day rice breeders’ toolboxes for developing salt-tolerant varieties. Salinity stresses significantly affect rice plants during seedling and reproductive stages. Hence, greater understanding and manipulation of genetic architecture in developing salt-tolerant rice varieties will significantly impact sustainable rice production. Rice plants’ susceptibility or tolerance to high salinity has been reported to be the result of coordinated actions of multiple stress-responsive quantitative trait loci (QTLs)/genes. This paper reviews recent literature, updating the effects of salinity stress on rice plants and germplasm collections and screening for salinity tolerance by different breeding techniques. Mapping and identification of QTLs salt tolerance genes are illuminated. The present review updates recent breeding for improvement in rice tolerance to salinity stress and how state-of-the-art tools such as MAS or genetic engineering and genome editing techniques, including mutagenesis and conventional breeding techniques, can assist in transferring salt-tolerant QTLs genes into elite rice genotypes, accelerating breeding of salt-resistant rice cultivars.

Breakeven Point

This study was designed to estimate the economic analysis of locust bean processing and marketing in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. Primary data was used and purposive sampling technique was adopted to select the respondents used for the study. A total number of 60 respondents were interviewed. The data collected were analyzed using inferential statistical tool such as regression analysis. Budgetary analysis technique was also used to analyze the profitability of locust bean processing and marketing in the study area. Majority of the processors and marketers are making profits; 68.3% operate above breakeven point while 26.7% operate at breakeven point and the rest 5% was below the breakeven point, this indicates that they neither profit nor lost. The regression analysis result shows that quantity processed, family size and years of experience in processing are significant at 1%, 5% and 10% respectively while education level and stall rent is negative and significant at 1% and 5% respectively. F- Test also explained that independent variables are jointly significant at 1% probability level with an adjusted R2 of 78.9%. The overall rate of return on investment indicates that average rate of return is 0.5 (50%), which is positive. It is therefore concluded that profit made by the processors and marketers can be improved on by increasing the quantity of locust bean being processed through adoption of newly discovered method of processing and improved method of preservation, packaging and marketing of the product to international standard by reducing the odour of the product without the loss of essential nutrients and palability in order to generate foreign exchange. Also, rules and regulations against cutting of economic trees for alternative uses should be enforced to maximize their values. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/ijarit.v2i2.14012 Int. J. Agril. Res.

The present study was conducted to investigate the status of  current antibiotics use and vaccine application program in commercial broiler farming, to understand about the current market scenario of antibiotics and vaccine related products and to identify the major problems of broiler farming and suggestions for its improvements. For achieving these objectives, 50 broiler farms and 20 antibiotics-vaccine products sellers were selected purposively from 5 selected unions of Sakhipur upazila in Tangail district. In the study area, 42% respondent had a slim idea about residual effect of antibiotics. Most of the farmers in the visited area used almost same types of antibiotics. Among the farms surveyed, 98% farms practiced proper vaccination. Among the 50 farmers, 66% farmers had idea about sound vaccination program and 98% farmer thought that vaccination is essential for their farming. In the study area, 70% farmers got their antibiotics and vaccine from dealer. The study showed that antibiotic cost is only 3.53% and vaccination cost is 1.06% of the total cost. Regarding the antibiotics use, results were alarming and found that 100% respondents used antibiotics in broiler production. Both positive and negative significant correlations were observed for different parameters. The problems related to present antibiotics and vaccination program and their probable solutions suggested by broiler farmers were also focused in this study.Progressive Agriculture 27 (4): 490-501, 2016

The present study estimates profitability of MV Boro rice production under shallow tubewell irrigation system. The study was conducted in Ghatail upazila of Tangail district. In the study, 60 water buyers from 5 villages were randomly selected. The survey covered a whole period of MV Boro production (January to May 2008). The major findings of the study were that about one third of total cost shared by irrigation charge. Though, the water buyers made a significant profit from MV Boro paddy production but the buyers were not fully satisfied with the prevailing one-fourth water charge and claimed for reduction of water charge. Education and farming experience was the important tools to increase profit in MV Boro paddy production. A considerable further scope apparently exists for expansion of STWs by reducing water charge to enhance the productivity of MV Boro paddy and to increase farm income of water buyers.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/pa.v20i1-2.16877 Progress.
