Full textAbstract:
This study examines how different types of performance measures were weighted in a subjective balanced scorecard bonus plan adopted by a major financial services firm. Drawing upon economic and psychological studies on performance evaluation and compensation criteria, we develop hypotheses regarding the weights placed on different types of measures. We find that the subjectivity in the scorecard plan allowed superiors to reduce the “balance” in bonus awards by placing most of the weight on financial measures, to incorporate factors other than the scorecard measures in performance evaluations, to change evaluation criteria from quarter to quarter, to ignore measures that were predictive of future financial performance, and to weight measures that were not predictive of desired results. This evidence suggests that psychology-based explanations may be equally or more relevant than economicsbased explanations in explaining the firm's measurement practices. The high level of subjectivity in the balanced scorecard plan led many branch managers to complain about favoritism in bonus awards and uncertainty in the criteria being used to determine rewards. The system ultimately was abandoned in favor of a formulaic bonus plan based solely on revenues.

Full textAbstract:
The social impact bond (SIB), at the present in Italy, is a financial instrument issued by a bank to support social initiatives in which the subscriber will receive a limited financial return on investment. As part of that performance, the social return for the community is considered as an integration of the financial performance that will replace a part of the interest rate. The first experience in Italy is represented by a bank that has issued 45 Social Bond for 472 million euros. The research analyses, on the basis of the character-ristics of the third sector in Italy, with particular reference to the financial weakness of the sector, the possible impact on the financial management process in the social enterprises by the use of SIB. Moreover, we would demonstrate that, with a well-conducted cost-benefit analysis, it is possible to construct a hypothesis of SIB in which the repayment is based on market rate. In particular, is proposed the development of a SIB with the objective of formulating hypotheses of response to the innovative following questions: Given certain cost drivers, what social outcomes would generate savings for the state budget able to fully repay the fixed costs of the SIB, to give a percentage of the benefit to the government and to ensure the repayment to investors? How to identify the timing of cash flows in order to structure a potential internal rate of return objective satisfactory for investors? Due to the lack of already developed case studies, with the technics of the business plan, we analyse the impact of SIB on social and financial performance, both from the point of view of the Public Administration and of the social enterprise, in a project of social housing introducing a remuneration rate at market level. The development of the project shows that, with the integration of the private and public perspective, it is possible to improve the social and financial performance offering an adequate interest rate and, moreover, without limit the hypothesis of SIB underwriting to the philanthropic institution.

Full textAbstract:
The Taiwanese government has encouraged bank privatization and the establishment of financial holding companies to improve banking sustainability and consolidate banks, insurance companies, and securities firms. It is important for bank decision makers to set policies that lead to sustainable development. However, the literature remains unclear about the types of banks that achieve greater business sustainability. This paper aims to (1) identify the criteria that affect banks’ business sustainability and (2) determine the most sustainable types of banks. This study uses a hybrid multiple-criteria decision-making approach on eighteen financial criteria for twenty-five Taiwanese listed banks with data from 2012 to 2016. The results show that non-performing loan ratio is the most critical factor. In addition, financial holding companies outperformed non-financial holding companies. Financial holding companies with insurance companies as their largest subsidiaries performed best. Private banks exceeded state-owned banks in sustainability. The results lead to two implications. First, banks should value risk over profitability and diversify financial products. Second, the government should continue to privatize banks. These findings suggest that bank managers implement an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system with a master plan, framework, and guidelines to help them track bank performance indicators to ensure sustainability.

Full textAbstract:
In December 1982, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 71 which became effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1983. This statement regulates the accounting practices of regulated enterprises. The major controversial aspects of SFAS No. 71 are: (1) requiring special accounting for regulated industry, (2) capitalization of future revenues, (3) treatment of refund, and (4) impacts of SFAS No. 71 on financial reporting and rate cases. Given these controversies and new developments in the electric utility industry, the FASB has issued an exposure draft to revise some of the provisions of SFAS No. 71. The revisions as stipulated in December 19, 1985 exposure draft amend the accounting treatment of phase-in-plan, abandonments, and disallowances of costs of newly completed plants. Questions such as, whether Generally Acceptable Accounting Principle (GAAP) should be formulated for each industry (e.g. regulated/nonregulated), impact of SFAS No. 71 on financial reporting and rate cases, and accounting treatments of refund are not forcefully addressed in the exposure draft.As an input to current deliberations on SFAS No. 71 this study explores investor owned utility companys opinions concerning the controversial aspect of the statement specified above. In addition, the study reviews major issues addressed in the exposure draft amending SFAS No. 71.

Full textAbstract:
Using 1997–1999 annual performance evaluation data of 214 postal stores in Korea, we find that financial performance improves following the implementation of an incentive plan that includes relative performance measures, and that under this incentive plan, the degree of common uncertainty is positively associated with store profitability. We also find evidence that the incentive effect of the plan is mitigated in stores at which the employees' perceived unfairness is likely to be high. Finally, we find that the net benefits of introducing the incentive plan may be conditional on the degree of common uncertainty, which appears to be inversely related to the perceived unfairness attributable to the introduction of the contract with relative performance measures.

Full textAbstract:
90 Background: Group medical appointments have been shown to improve access, health outcomes and health care utilization rates, as well as self-management skills. A new model of breast cancer survivor care was designed and piloted at Duke Cancer Center. Survivors attended the clinic together in groups of six. An interdisciplinary group visit format in the initial part of the appointment provided surveillance, education and support, as well as formation of an individualized survivorship care plan. The first hour included review of their personal care plan and a 45-minute facilitated discussion. Afterwards, individual visits with the nurse practitioner, and dietitian, physical therapist, or social worker occurred. Methods: A 22-item Likert-type questionnaire sought opinions regarding logistics and the style and function of care delivered. 122 surveys were collected. Descriptive statistics (via SPSS v19) using ANOVA type regression were accomplished. Secondly, a retrospective two-group study of clinic financial data for follow-up patients was done. Revenues from the group medical visit by the NP were compared to those seen traditionally by the MD (N=300). Review of time to third available appointment for each clinician was also recorded. Results: 122 surveys were collected with a 86% response rate. Mean scores for all questions rated at least 4.4 of 5, with the highest score given for the confidence felt in the nurse practitioner (4.93) and the lowest for the acceptability of the wait time in the breast imaging area (4.4). Overall, 98% felt the program provided quality care and 97% were likely to recommend the clinic to other breast cancer survivors. What participants liked most about the program was sharing with other survivors. Cost benefit analysis revealed that revenues and direct costs were nearly equal between delivery models. Time to third available appointment for the primary referring oncologist, dropped from 29.4 to 26.7 days, while the NPs time remained stable at 8.7 days. Conclusions: The group visit model applied to survivor care appears feasible and highly satisfactory to participants.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT On January 22, 2002, Kmart Corporation filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws. While under Chapter 11 protection, Kmart renegotiated its debt, shed some of its non-performing assets, and issued new equity. Financier Eddie Lampert of ESL Investments bought much of Kmart's debt for less than $1 billion while it was in bankruptcy. As part of the reorganization plan, virtually all of Kmart's debt was converted into shares, and ESL Investments emerged as Kmart's largest shareholder. Subsequent to its emergence from bankruptcy on May 6, 2003, Kmart's stock has gone up from around $15/share to nearly $80/share over a period of one year. The case requires students to analyze Kmart's financial performance prior to the bankruptcy, identify the circumstances leading to the bankruptcy, use projected financial statements to derive Kmart's value post-bankruptcy, and explore issues related to Kmart's adoption of Fresh Start reporting upon its emergence from bankruptcy. The case questions fall into five categories: (1) pre-bankruptcy evaluation, (2) reorganization plan and Kmart in bankruptcy, (3) Fresh Start reporting, (4) bankruptcy valuation analysis, and (5) post-bankruptcy performance. The questions are largely independent, allowing instructors the flexibility to adopt only the sections relevant to their courses.

This paper is focused on the financial situation of companies entering insolvency proceedings. It does not work with all kinds of the insolvent companies, but this paper concentrates on one specific issue. The issue is pre-pack insolvencies. The main aim is to show if the financial situation is an important factor for consent to pre-pack. The pre-pack insolvencies are insolvency cases which start with an insolvency proposal which is accompanied by a reorganization plan already approved by creditors. Prepacks should help make the insolvency process quicker and enable enterprise financial rehabilitation and sustain the going concern principle. On the other hand, the procedure can hardly be successful when the financial situation of the company is extremely poor. Therefore this paper evaluates the financial situation of the companies with pre-packed insolvency in the Czech Republic. The analysis of companies was conducted over one, two or three year periods prior to the companies entering an insolvency proceeding. According to the literature, financial indicators used for evaluation are commonly EBITDA, cash liquidity, debt ratio, ROA and the Altman Z-Score prediction model. Results for the individual enterprises are summed up in this paper using basic descriptive and variable statistics. Conclusions have especially practical implications because they show financial inability of majority pre-packed cases.

Full textAbstract:
Ecosystems have become synanthropized, and the degree of their transformation depends on their susceptibility to anthropopressure, but they are necessary for the functioning of the anthropogenic environment. They provide many ecosystem services, yet they are often not protected in any way, and their value is not taken into account at all in the process of creating local development plans. The analysis of the blue and green infrastructure covered three municipalities: Łapanów, Gdów, and Dobczyce. To calculate the benefits of ecosystem services, the method of calculating the Ve coefficient was adopted, which would enable a more accurate financial evaluation of the local development plan and make the previously synthetic economic coefficient of net present value (NPV) real. Besides, the impact of water bodies on the financial benefits of ecosystem services was analyzed. Only the protection of ecosystems introduced by including it in the local development plan enables full ecosystem synergy. Next to anthropological ecosystems, there are also natural ecosystems, which are necessary for the proper functioning of the commune. The network of those includes green (in the case of vegetated areas) and blue (in the case of surface waters) infrastructure, and their synergy is the key to the sustainable development of the commune.

Full textAbstract:
Since 2000, Morocco has launched important institutional and economic reforms based on strategies to correct market failures in important sectors of the economy. These strategies have included tax exemptions and other financial incentives, facilitating access to land and simplifying administrative procedures, and launching major public infrastructure projects, all of which have combined to create a new investment dynamic in strategic sectors such as agriculture, industry, and energy. These efforts have affected many sectors: the Azur Vision 2020 plan for tourism, the Green Morocco Plan for agriculture, the Halieutis 2020 Plan for fishing, Maroc Plus Export for export, the Emergence Plan (2005) for industry followed by the National Pact for Industrial Emergence, 2009-2015 and the new Industrial Acceleration Plan, 2014-2020. For example, to support the new Industrial Acceleration Plan, the government has provided a grant, a financial support of about 2% of GDP over 6 years. The government has also offered ad hoc support to attract foreign investors in large private projects likely to generate significant positive externalities. One example is the project to set up a Renault Company plant in Tangiers, which aims to produce and export 400,000 cars per year (World Bank, 2017).This note highlights the industrial sectors that can offer the best potential for growth, attract private investors and contribute to the creation of decent jobs. It will also identify ways to accelerate investment in Morocco. These industrial investments may include purely private investments or those made with the support of international financial institutions. The note analyzes investment and sectoral integration opportunities using the input model (outputs and employment elasticity indicators), the evaluation of the industrial acceleration plan, and sets out the measures taken by the CVE to promote VSEs. Only one classic sector is selected is highlighted for their investment potential and their commitment to reform in the sectors. It is the food industry.The note follows the diagram below:1) An introduction to the economic, political and social frameworks, including key indicators 2) A sector analysis to identify one to three sectors that are likely to be the subject of accelerated investment and in which reforms will have a particularly high chance of improving the business and investment climate and having an impact on development. 3) A mapping of the most relevant initiatives, technical assistance, grants and loans, and investments by donors and other stakeholders, such as development finance institutions. In the selected sector(s).4) An analysis of the existing reform agenda in the respective sector(s) and the identification of areas where there is a high likelihood of effective cooperation to support the implementation of these reforms.

Full textAbstract:
6601 Background: Data on success and failure rates of clinical studies are cruelly missing, especially for public funded programs. The French Cancer Plan 2003–2007 has launched such program as a specific extension of the wider ‘Programme Hospitalier de Recherche Clinique‘ (PHRC). Grant applications are submitted yearly. Funding is competitively based, projects being selected by a national committee supported by independent experts. A substantial financial support for the recruitment of clinical research associates (CRA) was launched simultaneously.We performed a preliminary analysis of the projects’ outcome 5 years after their funding. Methods: We carried out a survey of the projects funded in 2003 and 2004. A questionnaire was sent to the principal investigator. Data on project status, number of patients recruited per project, reasons for delay or failure, and publication results were collected. Projects were classified as failure (not started or closed for lack of inclusions) or success (ongoing or completed). Results: Of 257 projects submitted, 85 (33%) were selected. Of them, 24 failed (28%). Higher failure rates were observed for breast (5/11, 45%), gastrointestinal tract (6/16, 38%), genitourinary tract (4/11, 36%), and immune or cell therapy (8/15, 53%) projects. In contrast, haematological malignancies projects showed a low failure rate (3/20, 15%) as well as studies associated with translational research (6/34, 18%) or led by cooperative groups. The main reason for trials delay or failure was recruitment difficulties, due to overestimation of recruitment potential or restrictive inclusion criteria. Very few (< 5%) mentioned difficulty raised by the evolution of the scientific question or competing studies. No financial issue was reported. With 4-year of follow-up, 25% and 52% of projects have been respectively published in a peer-reviewed journal or presented at scientific meetings. Conclusions: In this first set of trials funded by the French Cancer Plan 2003–2007, more than a quarter failed despite apparent adequate funding. Main cause was a discrepancy between inclusion potential announced and real accrual. Application processes should evaluate more carefully this issue in order to improve the effectiveness of public health funding interventions in the future. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Full textAbstract:
During the pre-construction phase of an investment project, a construction plan is usually prepared by the building contractor. It contains financial plans, schedules, technical regulations with working procedures and proposals for the deployment of construction machinery and work teams. These items are then optimised in order to save money, shorten construction time and increase the quality of the final work while ensuring environmental and safety standards are maintained at the site. The ecological aspects of building work include compliance with the hygiene limits for building site noise, which is caused in particular by the simultaneous operation of machines. In the Czech Republic, limit values are set by Government Regulation 272/2011 Coll., as amended, on the protection of health against the adverse effects of noise and vibrations. The evaluation of construction site noise is not usually performed by contractors themselves and noise is usually measured only at the construction site, where work is limited or additional measures are taken in the case of values that exceed the stipulated limits. As the values in the construction plan should be as close as possible to reality during the implementation of the plan, it would seem appropriate to include such noise assessments within it. The purpose of this paper is to present an example of such an evaluation from the formal and material standpoint. The assessment has been conducted in the form of a specific noise study, expanded by a commentary on the treatment of the hypotheses. It shows how to obtain input data for evaluation, divide sub-calculations and use the supporting SW of the Hluk plus product for the purposes of construction information modelling, as well as how to correctly set noise sources and the positions of measured points for evaluation by the model within this programme. Subsequently, options for the evaluation of appropriate measures are listed, including their inclusion in reassessments.

Abstract. Mega cities in developing countries are mostly dependent on external funding for improving the civic infrastructures like water supply. International and sometimes national agencies stipulate financial justifications for infrastructure funding. Expansion of drinking water network with external funding therefore requires explicit economic estimates. A methodology suitable for local condition has been developed in this study. Relevant field data were collected for estimating the cost of supply. The artificial neural network technique has been used for cost estimate. The willingness to pay survey has been used for estimating the benefits. Cost and benefit have been compared with consideration of time value of money. The risk and uncertainty have been investigated by Monte Carlo's simulation and sensitivity analysis. The results in this case indicated that consumers were willing to pay for supply of drinking water. It has been also found that supply up to 20 km from the treatment plant is economical after which new plants should be considered. The study would help to plan for economically optimal improvement of water supply. It could be also used for estimating the water tariff structure for the city.

The financial crisis of the last decade has left many financial institutions with limited personnel and equipment resources. Thus, the IT departments of these institutions are being asked to explore novel approaches to resolve these constraints in a cost-effective and efficient manner. The goal of this paper is to measure the impact of modern enabling technologies, such as virtualization, in the process of replacing legacy infrastructures. This paper proposes an IT services upgrade plan approach for an organization by using modern technologies. For this purpose, research took place in an operating financial institution, which required a significant upgrade of both its service-level and its hardware infrastructure. A virtualization implementation and deployment assessment for the entire infrastructure was conducted and the resulting consolidated data are presented and analysed. The paper concludes with a five-year financial-based evaluation of the proposed approach with respect to the projection of expenditures, the return of investment and profitability.

The present business plan intents to analyze the financial attractiveness of creating a Hostel within Lisbon and targeting a service proportionate to guests' needs. That is, a service design based in the importance customers attribute to each offer. As observed, the market at Lisbon reflects a very competitive field where Hostels provide high quality services for low prices. During the low season (October-April), money is lost due to low occupancy rates. Nevertheless, profit resulting from the high season (May-September) is enough to null the negative results of the low season and still present a positive result at the end of the year. Financially, the evaluation outputs a NPV of 42 726€, IRR of 25.64% and Payback period of three years and four months. With vital indicators pointing towards a profitable business, the conclusion is that, based on the analysis performed, such a Hostel is financially viable.

Full textAbstract:
Theoretical and practical issues related to the applicability of the evaluations of construction project financing having regard to the complexity, timeframe and the limited nature of the resources available have been lately increasingly attracting researchers‘ attention. The assessment of decisions as to the timing and volume of funding of a project is extremely important and relevant for any organisation; therefore, it has been considered necessary to explore different models for possible financing by applying empiric and financial models, as well as theoretical mathematical methods. The objective of the present research exercise was to develop an optimal model for the appropriation of financing of defined scope according to different financing scenarios. For that purpose the researchers used a hypothetical reference heuristic financing appropriation plan for four periods of identical duration in three construction objects. By reference to the linear programming theory an optimal plan was identified by assigning, in individual periods and to each object, different priorities rated in points. The financing appropriation plans are assessed in terms of their impact upon the enterprise value that is computed applying the cash flow discounting method and the tax shield effect theory. Since the selection of the financing source is an important factor for the enterprise value the calculations were performed assessing three possible scenarios of the enterprise financing taking into account the enterprise‘s liquidity: a – an enterprise has accumulated sufficient own funds to finance the project, b – an enterprise has accumulated funds sufficient only to pay the interest for borrowed capital, c – an enterprise does not possess any disposable monetary resources to finance the project during its implementation, therefore it capitalizes the interest payable to the bank. It was concluded that under scenario a the selection of a financing plan does not affect the enterprise value, as the enterprise finances the investment from own resources. In the case of scenario b the loan obtained from the purpose of the investment creates additional value, the choice of the plan, however, does not affect the enterprise value. When capitalising the interest payable to the bank under scenario c, the highest value of an enterprise is created in the case of selection of an optimal plan that is developed by setting an overall limit of the amount to be funded, i.e., by prioritizing mathematical logics without referring to the up-front appropriation of financial resources by objects. The present article deals with the theory of the evaluation of investment project solutions. The results of the evaluation of the solutions for construction project financing appropriation are presented by criteria for optimal solutions and possible financing scenarios. Santrauka Statybos projektų finansavimo vertinimo teorinių ir praktinių pritaikymo klausimų nagrinėjimas, atsižvelgiant į šių projektų įgyvendinimo sudėtingumą, laiką bei reikalingų išteklių ribotumą, pastaruoju metu sulaukia vis didesnio dėmesio. Sprendimų, kiek ir kada finansuoti projektą, vertinimas yra labai svarbus kiekvienai organizacijai, todėl turi būti tiriami įvairūs galimo finansavimo modeliai, taikant empirinius ir finansų bei matematikos teorijos metodus. Tyrimo tikslas – parengti optimalų statybos projekto nurodytos finansavimo apimties paskirstymo modelį pagal skirtingus finansavimo scenarijus. Tyrimui naudotas sąlygiškas euristinis finansavimo paskirstymo planas keturiems vienodos trukmės laikotarpiams pagal tris objektus. Taikant tiesinio programavimo teoriją, optimalus planas randamas kiekvienam objektui konkrečiu periodu suteikus skirtingus balais įvertintus prioritetus. Finansavimo paskirstymo planai vertinami pagal jų įtaką įmonės vertei, kuri skaičiuojama taikant pinigų srautų diskontavimo ir skolinto kapitalo dėl mokesčių sutaupymo papildomai sukuriamos vertės teoriją. Kadangi įmonės vertei svarbus finansavimo šaltinio pasirinkimas, skaičiuota vertinant tris įmonės finansavimo scenarijus atsižvelgiant į įmonės likvidumą: a – įmonė turi sukaupusi pakankamai nuosavų lėšų projektui finansuoti; b – įmonei pakanka nuosavų lėšų tik palūkanoms už skolintas lėšas sumokėti; c – įmonė neturi laisvų piniginių išteklių projekto įgyvendinimo laikotarpiu, todėl kapitalizuoja bankui mokėtinas palūkanas. Nustatyta, kad a scenarijaus atveju įmonės vertei finansavimo plano pasirinkimas įtakos nedaro, nes ji investicijas finansuoja nuosavomis lėšomis. Pagal b scenarijų investicijai paimta paskola sukuria papildomą vertę, tačiau plano pasirinkimas įmonės vertės neveikia. Kapitalizuojant bankui mokėtinas palūkanas pagal c scenarijų, didžiausia įmonės vertė sukuriama pasirinkus optimalų planą, kuris sudaromas nurodžius bendrą finansuojamos sumos apribojimą, t. y. suteikiant prioritetą matematinei logikai atsisakius išankstinio finansinių išteklių paskirstymo pagal objektus. Straipsnyje nagrinėjama investicinių projektinių sprendimų vertinimo teorija. Statybos objektų finansavimo paskirstymo vertinimo rezultatai pateikti pagal optimalumo kriterijus ir galimus finansavimo scenarijus.

Full textAbstract:
The objective of this study was to trial a general practice approach to improve the health literacy of patients at risk of utilising medical, emergency or ambulatory services during after-hour periods in Australia. It did so by introducing an anticipatory after-hours care component in all new and revised care plans, known as an Anticipatory Care Plan (AntCaP).The pilot was conducted over a 6-month period in 2013–14. Thirteen general practices were recruited via expressions of interest and were paid a financial grant. Key practice staff were required to attend three workshops conducted by a Medicare Local and to be involved in the evaluation process. A pragmatic qualitative and quantitative evaluation process was conducted during the pilot, and ceased 6 months after the final workshop. The results indicate that the integration of AntCaPs into general practice was generally well received by practice staff and their patients, with early indications that AntCaPs can influence patient behaviour in the after-hours period.

Background: Depression is the “common cold” of psychiatry. Purpose: The purpose of this review was to discuss a variety of topics involved with this disease process, including pathophysiology, the standard of practice, pharmacological treatments, clinical guidelines, and costs of the disease. Method: A thorough survey of the literature on “understanding depression” was implemented for this study. Findings: Best practices, including plan implementation and evaluation, are discussed. The cost of depression is more extensive than financial costs, though research concludes that the more severe depressive symptoms present, the cost of care is reflected as higher. Through the hypothetical plan suggested, there would be an increased adherence to the Standard of Practice Guidelines to increase screening for depression at the outpatient mental health clinic at the author’s healthcare facility.

This paper adopts the information entropy fuzzy hierarchical analysis model to conduct an in-depth study and analysis of the green investment risk evaluation system and to process and analyze its indicators. The entropy method-fuzzy hierarchical analysis is used to evaluate the green financial capital operation risk. Firstly, I point out the research trends and shortcomings, define the concepts of fund operation, operation risk, risk evaluation, and green finance, and elaborate the relevant basic theories to lay the theoretical foundation for the later research; secondly, I identify the external and internal fund operation risks by describing the development plan, overall operation, and specific operation plan of green finance; then, according to the existing fund operation risks, I integrate commercial banks’ risk. Then, based on the existing fund operation risks, I integrate the risk types of commercial banks, combine the characteristics of green finance business, design the green finance fund operation risk evaluation index system, initially determine the index weights through hierarchical analysis method, introduce the entropy value method to improve the index weights, and use the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method to obtain the final evaluation results: in the process of green finance fund operation, internal risk is the most important risk, among which credit risk and financial innovation risk have the most significant impact; external risk is the second most important risk, among which economic risk and political risk are the most important. External risks are the second most important risks, among which economic risks and political risks are more obvious. The risks are judged from single-factor aspects, and the scoring values are used to determine the higher possibility of schedule risks caused by human factors, and finally, the schedule risk level of the reservoir project is determined to be medium through a comprehensive evaluation. The reasonableness of the calculation results shows that the entropy theory and the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method are still applicable to the assessment of green investment risks.

The improvements in (3D) three–dimensional underlying examination and processing assets have permitted the effective and safe plan of taller constructions. These constructions are the outcome of expanding metropolitan densification and financial suitability. The pattern towards continuously taller constructions has requested a move from the conventional strength based plan approach of structures to an emphasis on obliging the general movement of the design. Presently a day's supported cement (RC) divider outline structures are generally suggested for metropolitan development in zones with high SE danger. Presence of shear dividers bestows an enormous solidness to the sidelong power opposing arrangement of the RC building. Appropriate specifying of shear dividers can likewise prompt bendable conduct of such constructions during solid quake shaking. One of the remarkable boundaries impacting the shear divider (SD) SE (SE) conduct outline structures is the SD region proportion. In this manner a scientific examination is performed to assess the impact of Shear Wall Area to floor zone proportion (SW/FZP %) on the SE conduct of multistoried RC structures with delicate story at ground floor. For this reason, 12 structure plans that have Five, Eight and Twelve stories with SW/FZP % going somewhere in the range of 0.70% and 1.31% in the two ways are created. Here, the conduct of these plans under quake stacking is evaluated via doing Response Spectrum Analysis and Linear Time History Analysis utilizing primary examination programming E-TABS. Reaction Spectrum Analysis is finished by SE code IS 1893:2002. Straight Time History Analysis is completed by considering the three ground movement records to be specific Bhuj, Chamba and Uttarkasi. The primary boundaries considered in this investigation are the connection SW/FZP % has with base shear and rooftop dislodging, story uprooting and story float. The logical outcomes demonstrated that building plans with SW/FZP % equivalent to 1% acted sufficiently under tremor loads. Furthermore when the SW/FZP % expanded past 1% it is seen that the improvement of the SE presentation isn't as huge.

AbstractThis article examines Argentine relations with multilateral agencies and bankers during the first years of the last military dictatorship. It begins with an overview of relations and the external situation before the rise of the military and why a new economic team sought and restored Argentine credit standing. There follows a review of how links with the U.S. Treasury and international institutions lost significance and how cross-country financial intermediation, carried out mainly by leading state banks, gave foreign bankers a key role in the financing of Argentina’s foreign exchange needs. It also emphasises explicit and underlying motivations in the behaviour and policies of all actors involved and offers an evaluation of former Minister Martínez de Hoz’s efforts to justify these policies in the early 1980s.

The article examines and analyzes methodological approaches to the evaluation and selection of venture projects, found that in a dynamic environment, venture funds choose strategies to attract and prepare agreements that correspond to their experience and market position. The main stages of selection of venture projects have been formulated, which allows to formalize the process of selection of venture projects and make it as transparent, clear and simple as possible. The criterion base of indicators of evaluation and selection of venture projects has been investigated and systematized, which allows to formalize the process of their evaluation and making rational management decisions. Attracting and preparing agreements is one of the most important aspects of venture activity, which requires high competence, skills and abilities. Analysis of the scientific literature made it possible to identify different approaches to the evaluation and selection of venture projects. For evaluation and selection of venture projects, first of all, qualitatively prepared business plans are studied. In this case, applications for investment without a business plan are usually not considered by the funds at all. In such conditions, investors are helped by knowledge in the relevant sectors of the economy and understanding of the prospects for their development, this is equated with a preliminary discussion of the problem with colleagues or at meetings of fund managers, where a deeper assessment of business value. The main principles of assessing the effectiveness of investment in venture investment are: taking into account the specifics of the investment sector in order to calculate the payback period of investments and the level of their profitability, which is as close as possible to real; in the presence of a base of comparison of application of benchmarking; optimization of fund management costs; taking into account all financial flows of the project; comparison of the cost of borrowed capital and return on investment; reasonable distribution of financial resources between venture projects taking into account the criterion of their effectiveness, etc. the purpose of the examination of an innovative venture project is to assess the scientific and technical level of the project, the possibilities of its implementation and effectiveness, the consequences of its implementation. Based on the results of the study, decisions are made on the feasibility and volume of investment, which determines the basic principles of the examination, namely: the system of organization of expert work and the unity of its regulatory and methodological support; independence and legal protection of participants in the expert process, their competence and interest in obtaining objective results; scientific and economic substantiation of expert assessments, their orientation to the world level of development of science and technology, norms and rules of technogenic and ecological safety, requirements of standards and international agreements; objectivity of the received decisions according to results of examination. The main criteria for selecting a venture project are a well-prepared business plan, scientific and technical level of the project, its feasibility and effectiveness, and important indicators for evaluating the effectiveness of a venture project are indicators of internal rate of return, modified internal rate of return, net present value, payback period, discounted payback period, profitability of sales, the average rate of return.

We recommend individualized evaluation strategies for cochlear implant candidates that consider new developments in hearing aid technology. Four categories of patients are presented. Category I patients can be helped by modern ear level high-powered hearing aids and implantation is not warranted. Categories II and III patients leave us uncertain; they have improved sound detection with hearing aids, but achieve no open set word recognition. Category IV patients are unquestionably candidates for implants because no method of stimulation helps them. Experience has taught us that the most appropriate evaluation plan reflects the patient's history and is sensitive to the emotional and financial consequences of aborted candidacy. Those patients who are candidates can be guided through each component of the evaluation process with ever increasing confidence of ultimate success at the time of surgery.

ABSTRACT The citriculture consists in several environmental risks, as weather changes and pests, and also consists in considerable financial risk, mainly due to the period ofreturn on the initial investment. This study was motivated by the need to assess the risks of a business activity such as citriculture. Our objective was to build a stochastic simulation model to achieve the economic and financial analysis of an orange producer in the Midwest region of the state of Sao Paulo, under conditions of uncertainty. The parameters used were the Net Present Value (NPV), the Modified Internal Rate of Return(MIRR), and the Discounted Payback. To evaluate the risk conditions we built a probabilistic model of pseudorandom numbers generated with Monte Carlo method. The results showed that the activity analyzed provides a risk of 42.8% to reach a NPV negative; however, the yield assessed by MIRR was 7.7%, higher than the yield from the reapplication of the positive cash flows. The financial investment pays itself after the fourteenth year of activity.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose In response to an aging population and rising prevalence of disability, reablement initiatives have been introduced yet the evidence base concerning the long-term effects remains inconclusive. The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of reablement on physical independence, care plans and care packages post-discharge for older adults. Design/methodology/approach A retrospective cohort design was used to examine patient records who had completed a reablement programme. Measures on internationally renowned and psychometrically strong tools, completed by trained healthcare professionals, were examined pre-and post-intervention with a consecutive sample (n=416) of participants since the introduction of the reablement programme. Findings Reablement had a significant impact on physical independence living scores and a corresponding reduction in care needs and care plans post-discharge enabling the person to stay at home. Originality/value The study’s findings present empirical evidence on the value of reablement health service programme developed to promote independent living at home following a short illness, for older people. While no examination of financial data was recorded in this study, the increase in physical ability and corresponding reduction in care needs and care plans post-discharge indicates a reduction in costs and a better standard of living.

Full textAbstract:
In connection with the Danish Action Plan on the Aquatic Environment (APAE), the Copenhagen wastewater treatment plants are to be upgraded to nutrient removal. This paper describes the way in which the basis of the decision in respect of design load, choice of treatment process, upgrade type, etc. is achieved. There are 2 wastewater treatment plants in Copenhagen and it is possible either to upgrade both plants or only to upgrade one and close the other one. It was decided to upgrade both plants and we describe the rationale for this decision. An extensive effort has been made in order to choose the treatment process. The technical-financial evaluation of various methods will be described, as will the testing of the chosen methods in pilot plants. The design load criteria include the present load, industrial discharges of nutrients, runoff, infiltration, water consumption forecasts, and wastewater temperature. Finally, the plans for a gradual extension are described. The first stage aims at an extension to the load expected in 1996 when the plant will be put into operation, however, with the possibility to adapt the size of the works during construction, if developments do not correspond to expectations.
