This paper deals with one of the main problems, which is faced by Saudi Arabian Airlines (SAUDIA). The problem of the passengers who have international flights and cannot able to find their seats easily on their domestic flights to have a smooth connection to their international flights. As a result, those passengers are left with no choice except to look for any alternative Airlines, making the demand on domestic flights of Saudi Arabian Airlines diminish and increase the revenue of its competitors. The paper focused on the problem of passengers who look for seats on domestic flights between Abha and Riyadh to continue their international flights. The data collected for the demand on fourteen international destinations, which have a connection between Abha and Riyadh, emphasizing on the analysis of the three top international destinations, which are in high demand. Using descriptive statistics, ARIMA (box and Jenkins) procedure and multiple regressions, a forecasting model was developed to determine the expected demand on the domestic flights under study. Recommendations were made to SAUDIA operational strategy (i.e., the types of aircrafts and their capacity) to fulfill the demand in order to maximize the total revenue of Saudi Arabian Airlines in comparison with its competitors.

The Impact

Objective: To evaluate the impact of a student pharmacist-run targeted medication intervention (TMI) program. Methods: Student pharmacists in their third professional year resolved TMIs at 5 independent pharmacies under the supervision of a pharmacist. A claims report of completed TMIs from the medication therapy management (MTM) platform, which captured the category and outcome of the TMIs and the estimated cost avoidance (ECA) level, was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Time spent was calculated using an estimation based on each of the tasks required to complete the TMI. Results: Of the 156 TMIs that were billed, 42 (26.9%) were accepted, 24 (15.4%) were rejected, and 90 (57.7%) were unable to be reached. For TMIs where the prescribers or patients were reached, the acceptance rates were 20% and 71%, respectively. Student pharmacists spent a total of 25.2 hours completing TMIs, and the pharmacist spent 2 hours on administrative tasks. Total revenue generated from all TMIs was US$1058, which led to a revenue generation of US$38.90/h. Successfully completing 42 TMIs resulted in a savings to the health care system of approximately US$121 000. Conclusion: This pilot study demonstrates an innovative model for community pharmacies to complete TMIs by utilizing student pharmacists under the supervision of a pharmacist.

Abstract Background and study aims Upper gastrointestinal endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has clinical advantages that can lead to improved patient outcome. This study seeks to characterize and quantify the upstream and downstream healthcare utilizations and revenues. Patients and methods A retrospective claims data analysis of upper gastrointestinal EUS procedures was conducted at a large health system. Types of care and total revenues associated with each episode of care were characterized by descriptive statistics. Comparisons were made between patients who had Medicare Advantage and commercial plans as well as those with and without cancer diagnoses during the downstream period. Results A total of 436 cases were identified. The most frequent downstream healthcare utilizations consisted of radiology (31 %), pathology services (28 %), and high-revenue services including chemotherapy and inpatient admissions. The most common upstream utilizations included radiology (18 %) and lab services (22 %). Average total downstream revenue was $ 34 231 (95 %CI: $ 28 561 – $ 39 901) per case, and average total upstream revenue was $4373 (95 %CI: $3227 – $ 5519). Average total revenue per case did not differ significantly between Medicare Advantage and commercial plan members. However, patients who were diagnosed with cancer at or immediately following EUS (20 %) were associated with significantly higher total revenue compared to those without cancer diagnosis (P < 0.0001). Conclusions This episode-of-care approach to quantifying the revenue impact of upper gastrointestinal EUS to the providers suggests there are substantial downstream as well as upstream revenues associated with upper gastrointestinal EUS procedures, driven by patients who are diagnosed with cancer by the EUS procedures and subsequently require oncologic care.

Data Collection Procedure

The aim of this study is to analyze the transparency of public information in electronic portals of Municipal Chambers of Pernambuco. It is a descriptive research with quali-quantitative approach, and the data collection procedure is documentary research. Websites of 169 Municipal Chambers of cities that have population beyond ten thousand inhabitants were analyzed, based on indicators proposed by the Information Access Law, in its first paragraph of Article 8. The compliance level was established through six indicators for which a grade criterion was determined: a point to each item that was observed and zero to when it was not observed. After descriptive statistics were carried out, it was observed that the obtained results reached 30% of compliance in ranking of the most transparent, which is a value considered very low. Moreover, from analyzed variables (Population Size and Ranking; Population Size and Transparency; Ranking and total Revenue; Transparency and total Revenue) it was confirmed that only Population Size and Ranking have a positive relationship. Therefore, the compliance level of the Information Access Law is still in a remote stage from reaching transparency and it is justified by the amount of analyzed articles, bringing unsatisfactory results, considering the Law has been effective since 2012.

Every entity operates with the entity concept, which endues management to strategize for survival. This study examined optimal tax behaviour and corporate survival with a focus in Nigeria. Ex-post-facto was adopted and data computed from annual accounts of 52 out of 198 quoted companies were used. Descriptive Statistics, test of normality, outliers, and multi-collinearity tests were carried out to establish the normality of the data. Both fixed and random effects of the generalized least square multiple regressions were conducted and the outcome of the test showed that ETR is a positive but insignificant determinant of EPS while EATS were found to be a positive and significant determinants of EPS of companies in Nigeria. The study concluded that quoted companies are yet to effectively and efficiently explore loopholes in tax laws. The study recommended that companies in Nigeria should urgently explore these loopholes and improve their performance and experts with professional skills should be engaged as not infringe tax laws.

Profitability is a motivational factor in any enterprise. The study compared the profitability of sole maize and maize/melon intercrop in Osun State. A purposive sampling technique was used and primary data collected with the aid of a structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, budgetary technique, inferential statistics and regression techniques were used to analyse the data collected. The majority of the respondents were active, male, had formal education and had less than 21 years of experience in cropping systems. The estimated net return to management was N59,323.83 per sole maize farmer or N37, 548.75 per hectare per year and N175,178.68 per farmer or N102, 832.17 per hectare for maize/melon. Budgetary analysis results showed that both sole maize and maize/melon intercrop were profitable. The multiple regressions for maize/melon intercrop revealed that 94.2% of variation in profit was obtained by independent variables in the model. The multiple regressions for the sole maize profit function revealed that 62.3% of variation in profit was obtained by independent variables in the model. The costs of input used, labour employed and quantity sold were the major determinants of profitability. The appropriate policies to enable the farmers to have access to inputs at a subsidised rate should be put in place.

Demand Forecasting Model

This paper focus on establishing the demand forecasting model to optimize product assortments from a set of SKUs in the same category. The aim of the model is to achieve revenue maximization. Based on the attribute level, the demand model considers the consumers’ preference and the possibility of substitution between different attributes. Then it divides the product’s specific attributes and multiplies these attributes effects. Furthermore, one beverage case was applied to the demand model to do empirical analysis. Top beverage categories were selected and e-commerce sales data were collected to represent the pre-sale of whole categories. Moreover, a store named S with some beverage SKUs is assumed and applied to the model, which predicted sales volume of each existing SKU and the total revenue.
