Background A well-designed cancer control plan is an important tool for a nation, state, or community to address the burden of cancer. Furthermore, it provides the opportunity to devise and implement measurable objectives. However, there has been little to no assessment of the success rates of such objectives. Methods I compared the success rate of objectives between US states’ current plan and most recent past plan to determine the proportion of success in the United States overall. I also tested possible reasons for low success rates. Results The mean success rate was 20% for stringent successes (only exact matches between plans) and 28% for loose successes (exact and similar matches between plans). The magnitude of change in percentage between the baseline and target for loose objectives significantly predicted success (P = .0347). Higher change resulted in lower success. However, neither the number of objectives nor the level of overlap significantly predicted success rate. Nor was population size, region, or rural–urban status significantly related to success rate. The most successful states had high proportions of objectives that were measurable and a high number of overlapping objectives. Conclusion I found that objective success rates were low for cancer control plans. To improve success rates, I suggest that future cancer control plans ensure each objective has a measurable baseline and realistically attainable target.

Abstract Subject and purpose of work: The aim of this article is to present the most important aspects related to the functioning of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Euroregion Sprewa-Nysa-Bóbr, as well as to indicate the objectives and priorities regarding its support. Materials and methods: The paper utilized official statistics, existing legal regulations and information presented in the plan of action and development for the Euroregion Sprewa-Nysa-Bóbr for the years 2014-2020. Results: The important role of SMEs in the Euroregion’s socio-economic development is determined by the fact that they constitute more than 99.9% of all enterprises. In the years 2006-2013, the number of SMEs in the region increased by 3.3%, while the number of large companies decreased by 15.4%. The Euroregion pursues an active policy of supporting the development of the SME sector. Of particular importance in the shaping of this policy is the plan for the development and operation of the Euroregion developed ever since 1993. Conclusions: Within the current plan for the operation and development of the Euroregion, under the first objective (Increasing the competitiveness of the region), measures that will support the development of the SME sector were included. The result of the first objective will be the cross-border expansion of economic relations. Additionally, the timeframe for the past and the present plan deliberately coincide with periods of EU funds which goes on to demonstrate that European support programs are an important source of funding for cross-border cooperation in the Euroregion, including the development of SMEs.

Secure information deduplication can altogether decrease the correspondence and capacity overheads in distributed storage benefits and has potential applications in our large information-driven society. Existing information deduplication plans are commonly intended to either oppose savage power assaults or guarantee the effectiveness and information accessibility, yet not the two conditions. We are additionally not mindful of any current plan that accomplishes responsibility, in the feeling of lessening copy data divulgence (e.g., to decide if plain-writings of two scrambled messages are indistinguishable). Right now, examine the three-level cross-space design and propose an effective and protection safeguarding huge information deduplication in distributed storage (from now on alluded to as EPCDD). EPCDD accomplishes both protection safeguarding and information accessibility and opposes beast power assaults. Plus, we consider the responsibility to offer preferable protection affirmations over existing plans. We at that point show that EPCDD beats existing contending plans, as far as calculation, correspondence, and capacity overheads. Additionally, the time unpredictability of copy search in EPCDD is logarithmic.

Approximately 34% of all Medicare beneficiaries were enrolled in a Medicare Advantage (MA) plan in 2019. Quantitative evidence suggests that MA beneficiaries have low rates of switching plans, but that beneficiaries who are hospitalized or use postacute nursing home care are disproportionately more likely to exit their plan. This research sought to explore how MA enrollees choose plans and the factors involved in their decision to keep their current plan or switch plans. We conducted 25 semistructured interviews focusing on expectations and experiences preenrollment and postenrollment among MA beneficiaries. Overall, the beneficiaries interviewed reported being highly satisfied with their plans. After selecting a plan, there was little incentive to revisit their choice since they viewed their plan as “good enough.” Confusion, health status, cost and benefits also contributed to many seniors keeping or switching their plans. These seniors were reluctant to switch plans unless they experienced a major health event.

Despite three decades of reform, China's electricity sector is still organized by a “new reformed plan” where capacity investment has been liberalized but prices and production remain controlled. This paper examines the impact of the current plan prices on end-users with reference to the OECD and how the plan price of electricity supply is formed. We argue that the plan price is set in an attempt to balance the interests of the public and the power industry. We find that China's industries do not pay a cheaper price for electricity than the West, and the plan price is formed through bargain between the firm and the state, which allows the firm to have a soft price constraint on its costs.

AbstractDa Rocha, J-M., Cerviño, S., and Gutiérrez, M-J. 2010. An endogenous bioeconomic optimization algorithm to evaluate recovery plans: an application to southern hake. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 67: 1957–1962. Recovery plans were analysed by introducing social and economic behaviour and endogenous disinvestment decisions into bioeconomic models. Considering these endogenous constraints, a dynamic optimization problem was solved to find fishing mortality (F) trajectories that maximize discounted profits per vessel, subject to recovery of the stock to a spawning-stock biomass (SSB) target in 2015. The algorithm developed was used to assess the southern hake recovery plan. Three scenarios were analysed: (1) represents the current plan with an annual 10% reduction in F; (2) represents the optimum trajectory where profits must be positive all along and the SSB target is reached no later than 2015, and (3) represents the optimum trajectory allowing profits to be negative. The results from (3) indicate that if economic and social restrictions are not considered a prior condition, the optimum solution implies a fleet reduction in 2010 and 2011. Comparing (1) and (2), our results suggest that reducing F to 0.30 by 2010 achieves the recovery target in 2012, increases the net present profits by 7.7% relative to the current plan, and is compatible with maintaining the current fleet size.

This chapter examines a proposal made by Hong Kong tycoon Gordon Wu to construct an artificial island in Hong Kong’s territorial waters in the late 1980s. His scheme has echoes in the Hong Kong government’s current plan to construct an “East Lantau Metropolis” on an artificial island in a similar same location. A close examination of Wu’s proposition reveals how it served not just commercial ambitions, but also expressed a more complex set of aims playing out through geopolitical intrigue and late-colonial domestic politics, as well as maneuverings for private dominance of urban and regional infrastructure. At an even more ulterior level, these activities additionally attempted an unconscious restructuring of the intercultural formations of nature(s) and landscape as they have emerged in Hong Kong.

President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law in March 2010, putting in place a set of reforms to health coverage in the United States. For Americans who have health insurance, they do not have to change their current plan under the health care law. However, those who do not have coverage will have the chance to shop for health insurance starting October 1 using the new Health Insurance Marketplace. This publication reviews some common questions about the new health care law and how it will affect citizens. This 3-page fact sheet was written by Meg McAlpine and Martie Gillen, and published by the UF Department of Family Youth and Community Sciences, October 2013. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fy1394
