Piedmont Region

In the Piedmont region (Italy) the electronic ticketing system called BIP, is currently active across much of its territory, and thedata collected in the Province of Cuneo since the full activation of the system (2014) provide today a sound source ofinformation. Two different travel documents are available, travel passes and pay-per-use, with different validation rules: check-inonly for travel passes and check-in and check-out for pay-per-use. Data produced by this electronic ticketing system employingsmart cards allow to perform a detailed analysis of each user’s behaviour, and calculate time and space distributions of eachpassenger trip. In detail, data originating from smart card transactions allow to trace back the trip chains, establish journey originsand destinations, and produce a “travel diary” for each passenger. Based on this data, performance indicators (i.e. load factor) aswell as user mobility patterns and origin-destination matrices can be calculated in an automated and reliable way. This articlepresents a methodology for assessing the quality of the data collected when information about boarding and alighting stops isavailable from the (on board) validation system. It also presents an algorithm to assign a destination for each trip where only theboarding information is available. In the case study of the Province of Cuneo, it was found that 91% of the pay-per-use journeydata are reliable and can be used for further analysis, whereas with the use of the proposed algorithm it was possible to estimatethe destinations for 82% of the travel pass trips.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/CIT2016.2016.1999

Construction Product

There is increasing pressure from developers toward architects and engineers to deliver scientifically sound proposals for often complex and cost-intensive construction products. An increase in digitalization within the construction industry and the availability of intelligently built assets and overall sustainability make it possible to customize a construction product. This servitization of construction products is assumed to perform much preferably in satisfying stakeholders’ physical, psychological, and social needs. The degree to which these products are performing can be evaluated through an evidence index. This article aims to introduce a conceptual model of an evidence index and test it in the programming stage of a case study. The investigation follows the evidence-based design approach and renders evidence through key performance indicators in the programming stage of the building process. For testing the concept, a case study investigation was performed by simulating a novice research assistant, and the amount of evidence was collected and appraised for evidence index. The case study showed that key performance indicators of a servitized project could be evaluated on a four-point scale. The quality of the evidence index generation depended on the level of expertise the evaluator has in research and the skilful use of scientific databases.

AbstractSeamless access to destinations of value such as workplaces, schools, parks or hospitals, influences the quality of life of people all over the world. The first step to planning and improving proximity to services is to estimate the number of trips being made from different parts of a city. A challenge has been representative data available for that purpose. Relying on expensive and infrequently collected travel surveys for modeling trip distributions to facilities has slowed down the decision-making process. The growing abundance of data already collected, if analyzed with the right methods, can help us with planning and understanding cities. In this chapter, we examine human mobility patterns extracted from data passively collected. We present results on the use of points of interest (POIs) registered on Google Places to approximate trip attraction in a city. We compare the result of trip distribution models that utilize only POIs with those utilizing conventional data sets, based on surveys. We show that an extended radiation model provides very good estimates when compared with the official origin–destination matrices from the latest census in Mexico City.

Budget Execution

The quality of budgeting is an instrument to assess the performance of the entity. Analysis of budget execution can be engaged by comparing budget realization in LRA and budget in DIPA. The budgetary variances arise due to differences, but unfortunately the government has not been intensively using variance analysis as an evaluation of budgeting. The qualitative research with this case study approach aimed to analyze the variance of the budget and relate it to the performance assessment of Foreign Corporate and Individual Tax Service Office. The results showed the absorption rate of 94,42% with variance (difference) of IDR974.697.831 or equivalent to 5,58% for expenditure activities. The absorption of the budget encourages the achievement of output targets and Key Performance Indicators (IKU) that impact on the Performance Value Organization (NKO) at a good level of 93,57%. The study recommends the importance of reviewing the accuracy of the expenditure allocation and budgeting must also meet the criteria of Architecture and Performance Information (ADIK). ABSTRAK Kualitas penganggaran belanja merupakan instrumen untuk menilai kinerja satuan kerja. Analisis pelaksanaan anggaran dapat dilakukan dengan membandingkan realisasi anggaran pada Laporan Realisasi Anggaran (LRA) dan anggaran pada Daftar Isian Pelaksanaan Anggaran (DIPA). Varians anggaran belanja timbul akibat perbedaan, namun sayangnya pemerintah belum intensif menggunakan analisis varians sebagai evaluasi penganggaran. Penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus ini bertujuan menganalisis varians anggaran belanja dan mengaitkannya dengan penilaian kinerja KPP Badan dan Orang Asing. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tingkat penyerapan anggaran 94,42% dengan varians (selisih) sebesar Rp974.697.831,00 atau setara dengan 5,58% untuk kegiatan belanja. Penyerapan anggaran tersebut mendorong tercapainya target keluaran dan Indikator Kinerja Utama (IKU) yang berdampak pada Nilai Kinerja Organisasi (NKO) pada level baik yakni 93,57%. Studi merekomendasikan agar ditinjau kembali apakah alokasi belanja telah didistribusikan pada pos-pos yang tepat sehingga realisasi lebih baik lagi. Penyusunan anggaran juga harus memenuhi kriteria Arsitektur dan Informasi Kinerja (ADIK) mengingat kompleksitas revisi jenis belanja.

Purpose Misophonia is a sound tolerance disorder condition in certain sounds that trigger intense emotional or physiological responses. While some persons may experience misophonia, a few patients suffer from misophonia. However, there is a dearth of literature on audiological assessment and management of persons with misophonia. The purpose of this report is to discuss the assessment of misophonia and highlight the management option that helped a patient with misophonia. Method A case study of a 26-year-old woman with the complaint of decreased tolerance to specific sounds affecting quality of life is reported. Audiological assessment differentiated misophonia from hyperacusis. Management included retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy based on the principles described by P. J. Jastreboff and Jastreboff (2014). A misophonia questionnaire was administered at regular intervals to monitor the effectiveness of therapy. Results A detailed case history and audiological evaluations including pure-tone audiogram and Johnson Hyperacusis Index revealed the presence of misophonia. The patient benefitted from intervention, and the scores of the misophonia questionnaire indicated a decrease in the severity of the problem. Conclusions It is important to differentially diagnose misophonia and hyperacusis in persons with sound tolerance disorders. Retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy can help patients who suffer from misophonia.
