Abstract:
Abstract BACKGROUND Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive primary brain cancer in adults. Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an invasive and generally fatal malignancy of the pleura mainly caused by exposure to asbestos fibers. TTFields treatment has been shown effective in both MPM and GBM with a comparable increase in median overall survival (OS). Differences in utility values however, could significantly influence assessment of cost-effectiveness for MPM and GBM, despite similar clinical efficacy. METHODS We reviewed the published literature adressing health state preference values or health utilities in both indications using a boolean search of the PubMed database. The results were compiled separately for both diseases and then compared to each other. RESULTS Estimates of health states preference values or utilities in GBM all refer to one single publication by the UK NICE. Healthy members of the NHS Value of Health Panel (VoHP) rated a total of nine descriptive health state scenarios using the standard gamble method for preference elicitation. Utilities for MPM were derived at individual patient level from the EQ-5 questionnaire collected during one trial. Other publications do not use specific mesothelioma heath state preference velues but assume applicability of utilities derived from a non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) population. CONCLUSIONS GBM utilites use different health states for elicitation, while utilities used in MPM were elicited at patient level. GBM utilities can be used in a health state disease model but there are no similar published values for MPM. MPM utilities using the EQ-5 questionnaire however better describe individual utilities and their change during the course of disease. Despite similar costs and clinical efficacy of TTFields treatment for GBM and MPM, the difference in elicitation methods and sources of utilites may lead to significant disparities in cost effectiveness assessment and subsequent adoption of TTFields treatment in different indications.

Abstract:
Abstrak Kabupaten Bolaang Mongondow Utara adalah salah satu kabupaten di Provinsi Sulawesi Utara yang memiliki kawasan pesisir pantai dan terdapat 48 desa di enam desa yang memiliki garis pantai dan termasuk dalam kawasan pesisir. Prasarana, sarana dan utilitas umum di permukiman pesisir Kabupaten Bolaang Mongondow Utara juga masih ada yang belum tersedia dan terlayani. Penelitian ini betujuan untuk mengidentifikasi ketersediaan serta menganalisis kebutuhan prasarana, sarana dan utilitas umum permukiman pesisir di Kabupaten Bolaang Mongondow Utara yang menggunakan analisis deskriptif kualitatif, analisis spasial dan analisis kuantitatif. Dari hasil analisis kebutuhan prasarana sarana dan utilitas umum maka sampai dengan tahun 2040 terdapat prasarana yang perlu ditambahkan agar bisa memenuhi Standar Pelayanan Minimal seperti jaringan drainase, jaringan persampahan dan jaringan air minum. Untuk sarana sampai dengan tahun 2040 sarana yang tersedia saat ini masih SNI 03-1733-2004 dan belum membutuhkan penambahan namun perlu ada peningkatan atau perbaikan. Untuk kebutuhan utilitas umum sampai dengan tahun 2040 masih membutuhkan penambahan untuk jaringan listrik, jaringan telekomunikasi dan proteksi kebakaran. Dari hasil tersebut dapat menunjukkan bahwa masih terdapat prasarana dan utilitas umum yang perlu ditambah agar kebutuhan prasarana, sarana dan utilitas di Kabupaten Bolaang Mongondow Utara terpenuhi sampai tahun 2040. Kata Kunci : Analisis, Permukiman Pesisir, Prasarana, Sarana, Utilitas Umum Abstract North Bolaang Mongondow Regency is one of the regencies in North Sulawesi Province which has a coastal area and there are 48 villages in six sub-districts that have a coastline and are included in the coastal area. Infrastructure, facilities and public utilities in coastal settlements in North Bolaang Mongondow Regency are also still unavailable and underserved. This research aims to identify the availability and analyse the need for infrastructure, facilities and public utilities for coastal settlements in North Bolaang Mongondow Regency using qualitative descriptive analysis, spatial analysis and quantitative analysis. From the analysis of the needs for public facilities and utilities, until 2040 there are infrastructures that need to be added in order to meet the Minimum Service Standards such as drainage networks, waste networks and drinking water networks. For facilities up to 2040, the currently available facilities are still SNI 03-1733-2004 and do not require addition, but there needs to be an increase or improvement. For the needs of public utilities until 2040, they still require additions for the electricity network, telecommunications network and fire protection. From these results, it can be shown that there are still public infrastructure and utilities that need to be added so that the needs for infrastructure, facilities and utilities in North Bolaang Mongondow Regency are met until 2040.

Abstract:
Abstract Water utilities in Egypt are facing difficulties in managing the numerous indicators generated from the different departments. The increasing number of indicators and factors cause distraction and difficulties to interpreting the causes of problems, time wasting in analyzing redundant and unnecessary information, and delays in taking effective decisions. The BSC (Balanced Score Cards) technique has been utilized by many international utilities as the most influential multidimensional performance management system worldwide. This paper developed a new BSC model in cooperation with experts and managers to help decision makers managing water utilities' performance efficiently. The proposed model is based on the Egyptian Water and Wastewater Regulatory Agency performance indicators. In addition, new indicators have been developed to integrate all indicators that might affect overall utility performance. The proposed model will provide the utilities' managers with a fast but comprehensive view of the utility's performance. It also can be used by the regulatory agency as an evaluation and ranking tool for different water providers on the national level.

Abstract:
Objectif : La présente étude vise à évaluer et à prioriser le niveau de satisfaction des utilités attendues des cultivars d’igname auprès 1032 acteurs locaux de la filière igname au Sud-ouest des Savanes Sèches au Togo. Méthodologie et résultats: Le brainstorming, le scoring et les avis d’experts, ont permis la définition de quinze descripteurs d’utilités des cultivars, dont les notes d’appréciation ont révélé une corrélation positive significative entre attributs. L’ensemble des attributs a été priorisé en trois classes selon la loi 80/20 (la loi de Pareto). Valeur marchande, nom de cultivar à connotation d’image et gros et longs tubercules ont constitué la principale classe d’attributs avec des notes moyennes d’utilités significatives et respectivement de 9,52 ; 7,28 et 2,28. Ils ont satisfait à 63,91% des utilités cumulées attendues des attributs de tous les cultivars. De tous, le lieu de production à image de qualité (0,80) et la résilience aux divers stresseurs, (0,34) ont été faiblement apprécié. Les effets de l’âge et du sexe des participants sur les notes d’appréciation de l’utilité n‘ont pas été perçus. Conclusion et application des résultats: Les utilités cumulées attendues ont été satisfaites à 63,91% par 20% des attributs en culture d’igname et une faible atteinte d’utilité cumulée de 36,07% par 80% du reste des attributs. De futurs programmes d’amélioration variétale pourront prendre en compte la satisfaction des utilités attendues des ignames. Une piste de production labélisée des tubercules et de leurs transformations élargies aux potentialités de tous les cultivars peuvent constituer une application à envisager sur la base des présents résultats et limiter ainsi l’érosion génétique de la culture d’igname.

Methodology and results: The scoring and the expert opinions, allowed the definition of fifteen cultivar attribute descriptors by 1032 actors of the yam sector followed by their prioritization in three distinct classes by the law 80/20. The average utilities of the main attributes: market value, cultivar name with image connotation and large and long tubers were respectively 9.52; 7.28 and 2.28. They represented 63.91% of the expected cumulative utilities of all attributes. The effects of age and sex on expected utility ratings were not seen in this study. Conclusion and application of the findings: 20% of the attributes fulfilled 63.91% of cumulative utilities expected in yam culture and posing the problem of the low cumulative utility of 36.07% by 80% of the attributes. Thus, future research to improve a satisfaction of utilities of the 80% of attributes is necessary. Future varietal improvement programs, may take into account the satisfaction of the expected utilities of yams. A path of labeled production of tubers and their transformations extended to the potential of all cultivars may constitute an application to be considered on the basis of the present results and thus limit the genetic erosion of the yam crop. Keywords: yams, attributes, prioritization, expected utilities, Dry Savannahs, Togo.

Abstract:
There is wide variability in how organizations approach sustainability and the energy system transition toward using more renewables. In the electric power industry, while some distribution utilities have leaned into the transition, others have taken a more conservative approach. Grounded in an institutional resource-based perspective, this multi-level study examines key intra-firm, firm, and individual leadership factors that impact an organization’s commitment to renewables. Sustainability orientation in the power industry is assessed as the percent of renewable energy in a utility’s fuel mix compared with their expressed commitment to renewables and energy efficiency within planning documents. Through computer-aided text analysis, characteristics of 170 electric utilities in the United States were analyzed to predict sustainability orientation. Results indicate that rurality, deregulation, and the entrepreneurial orientation of a utility, as expressed within their Integrated Resource Plans, explain a significant amount of variability in the sustainability orientation of electric utilities.

Abstract:
AbstrakBanyak developer perumahan yang belum menyerahkan prasarana, sarana, dan utilitas kepada pemerintah kota. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui implementasi kebijakan, jumlah perumahan dan permukiman yang belum menyerahkan prasarana, sarana, dan utilitas, dan faktor penghambat implementasi kebijakan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data berdasarkan observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi. Penelitian ini menggunakan teori model implementasi kebijakan oleh Merilee S Grindle. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Pemerintah Kota Tanjungpinang belum bertanggung jawab dalam melaksanakan kewajibannya terkait dengan prasarana, sarana, dan utilitas perumahan dan permukiman di Kota Tanjungpinang ini karena masih kurangnya pengawasan terhadap pembangunan-pembangunan perumahan yang ada di Kota Tanjungpinang yang mengakibatkan banyak terjadinya ketidaksesuaian site plan awal dengan pembangunan akhir perumahan, sedangkan yang memberikan izin untuk membangun perumahan tersebut adalah Pemerintah Kota Tanjungpinang itu sendiri, kemudian kurang tegasnya Pemerintah Kota Tanjungpinang terhadap developer-developer yang tidak membangun sesuai peraturan. Kemudian masih banyak developer perumahan maupun permukiman di Kota Tanjungpinang yang belum menyerahkan prasarana, sarana, dan utilitas dengan berbagai faktor penghambat seperti developer yang menggadai sertifikat utama perumahan tersebut, developer tidak membangun perumahan sesuai dengan site plan yang disetujui di awal. Selanjutnya untuk isi kebijakan masih terlalu kaku sehingga pelaksanaan kebijakan tidak sesuai dengan isi kebijakan itu sendiri, lalu lingkungan kebijakan sudah menunjukkan responsivitas maupun penguasa yang demokratis dan partisipatif. Jumlah perumahan yang sudah menyerahkan prasarana, sarana, dan utilitas perumahan dan permukiman kepada Pemerintah Kota Tanjungpinang sebanyak 13 perumahan, sedangkan yang belum menyerahkan sebanyak 262 perumahan dari total 275 perumahan yang telah disurvei oleh Dinas Perkim. Kata Kunci: Prasarana, sarana, dan utilitas, Perumahan, Developer. Abstract Many housing developers have not submitted infrastructure, facilities, and utilities to the city government. This research aims to find out the policy implementation, the number of housing and settlements that have not submitted infrastructure, facilities, and utilities, and the factors inhibiting policy implementation. This research uses descriptive qualitative research methods with data collection techniques based on observation, interviews and documentation. This research uses the theory of the policy implementation model by Merilee S Grindle. The results of this study indicate that the Tanjungpinang City Government has not been responsible for carrying out its obligations related to housing and settlement infrastructure, facilities and utilities in Tanjungpinang City because there is still a lack of supervision of housing developments in Tanjungpinang City which results in many discrepancies between the initial site plan and the final housing development, while the one who gives permission to build the housing is the Tanjungpinang City Government itself, then the lack of assertiveness of the Tanjungpinang City Government towards developers who do not build according to regulations. Then there are still many housing and settlement developers in Tanjungpinang City who have not submitted infrastructure, facilities and utilities with various inhibiting factors such as developers who pledge the main certificate of the housing, developers do not build housing in accordance with the site plan approved at the beginning. Furthermore, the policy content is still too rigid so that the policy implementation is not in accordance with the content of the policy itself, then the policy environment has shown responsiveness as well as democratic and participatory rulers. The number of housing that has submitted housing and settlement infrastructure, facilities, and utilities to the Tanjungpinang City Government is 13 housing, while those that have not submitted are 262 housing out of a total of 275 housing that have been surveyed by the Perkim Office.

Abstract:
Electric utilities are in an environmental sensitive industry, exploiting natural resources and contributing to climate change issues. The focus of critical stakeholders on sustainability agendas and management approaches and the increasing tight sector-regulations pressure electric utilities to act and distribute sustainability reports declaring their sustainability performances and goals towards achieving climate targets. However, literature criticizes the utility’s reporting practices as form of impression management being decoupled from actual sustainability compliance. This paper analyzes in light of institutional theory the compliance with or decoupling from sustainability agendas in the under-researched electricity sector by identifying the coverage of materiality in sustainability reports and the implemented sustainability management control systems for sustainability development. Quantitative and qualitative methods are used including correlation- and variance analysis of material indicators and expert interviews. This study contributes by having identified a sector-wide continuous form of selective coupling from the sustainability agendas in electric utilities. Furthermore, this paper found that sustainability agendas and the implementation of sustainability control mechanisms are governed by institutional hybrid logics which are still at an early stage.

Abstract:
Background Health utilities are commonly used as quality weights to calculate quality-adjusted life years in cost-utility analysis (CUA). However, if published health utilities are not properly used, the credibility of CUA could be affected. Objectives To identify discrepancies in using published health utilities in CUAs for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods CVD CUAs in the Tufts Cost-Effectiveness Analysis Registry that reported health utilities were included in the analysis. References cited for health utilities in these CUAs were reviewed to identify the original health utility studies. The description and value of health utilities used in the CUA were compared with those reported in the original utility studies. Logistic regression was used to identify the factors that can predict the discrepancy. Results A total of 585 eligible CUAs published between 1977 and 2016 were identified and reviewed. Of these studies, 74.5% were published between 2007 and 2016. 442 CUAs that used a total of 2235 health utilities published in 203 original utility studies were included for the comparison. As compared with those utilities originally reported, only 596 (26.7%) health utilities had the same description and value, whereas 991 health utilities (44.3%) differed in both description and value. Of 1290 health utilities with a different description, 69.1% were due to different severity or disease. No explanation or justification was provided for 1171 (87.4%) of 1340 health utilities with different value. Conclusions There are concerning discrepancies in using published health utilities for CVD CUAs. Given the important role health utilities play in CUAs, authors of CUAs should always refer to the original studies for health utilities and be transparent about how published health utilities are selected and incorporated into CUAs.

Increasingly, utilities need to think of their operations as businesses and as such, they are not only in the business of providing raw and drinking water, sewage services and stormwater services, they also need to acquit those operations in a manner consistent and compliant with the jurisdiction in which they operate. In this paper, we discuss the legal frameworks with which utilities should be familiar and show how having comprehensive and defensible risk management systems in place can demonstrate that a utility is conducting its business in a duly diligent fashion.

Abstract:
Portland General Electric (PGE) is one of only a few electric utilities in the United States actively conducting evaluations of their pilots in support of transportation electrification (TE). This article offers insights into PGE’s efforts to provide EV-related outreach and education to its customers. The article also examines interest in and use of PGE’s public charging infrastructure, particularly among transportation network company (TNC) drivers. The authors conducted an analysis of utilization data from PGE’s public charging stations to examine usage and the effectiveness of a peak pricing surcharge during peak electricity demand periods. The research pulls from additional data sources including (1) online customer surveys, (2) ride-and-drive intercept surveys, (3) and an online focus group. Findings illuminate the utility’s experience after three years of implementation and provide concrete guidance for other utilities seeking to expand customer adoption of EVs, while also exploring how pricing mechanisms can be effective at managing increased system load associated with increased EV charging. Findings also highlight the barriers environmental justice communities face with EVs and provide insights into how utilities can address misconceptions and increase awareness of the benefits of EVs for these groups.

Abstract:
The subject of the paper is conclusion and execution of direct contracts between consumers and utilities providers.The main aim of the paper is to confirm or disprove the hypothesis that direct contracts between consumers and utilities providers are more convenient for utilities providers than for consumers.The methodology of the study includes general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization, description) as well as particular academic legal methods (formal-legal analysis of theoretical and regulatory sources, interpretation of legal acts, judicial and arbitration practice).The main results and scope of their application. The current procedure for the provision and payment of utilities is based on the concept of "performer of utilities", which are the management organizations, homeowners' associations, housing cooperatives. The performer of utilities enters into a contract with utilities provider. These utilities are acquired by the contractor at the border of its operational responsibility (on the border of an apartment building), then this resource is already provided as a utility service to final users – tenants and owners of premises in an apartment building. Consumers pay for utility services to the contractor of utilities, and he, in turn, transfers the received payments to the utilities provider (resource supplying organization). Such a scheme of contractual relations leads to problems, including the following: the performers do not enter into contracts with the utilities providers (resource-supplying organizations), thereby trying to exclude their responsibility for the quality of services; do not pay fully or partially for the supplied utility resource. In this regard, the legislation has been amended to allow direct contracts between consumers of public services and resource organizations and, accordingly, directly pay for utilities.Conclusions. Direct contracts between consumers and utilities providers are more convenient for utilities providers than for consumers in the scope of responsibility for the poor quality of utilities.

Abstract:
Electric utility regulators and policy makers implement incentive-based regulation to improve electric utilities efficiency or to manage the cost of electricity. However, poorly implemented regulation may produce undesired results such as low reliability or poor quality of service. Moreover, the competition within the electricity sector is likely to be low because of the high barriers to entry, vertically integrated electric utilities, and high capital requirements. Therefore, benchmarking exercises allow policy makers and regulators to gauge the relative efficiency of electric utilities and help them to reward or penalize the electric utilities accordingly. In this study, we examined the variables that significantly influence the efficiency of electric utilities and developed an optimum method to measure the efficiency of the electric utilities. The results of the efficiency measurement were then used to rank the electric utilities. The result of this study indicates that there are 13 variables that significantly affect the efficiency score of electric utilities and three stage virtual frontier data envelopment analysis (3S-VF-DEA) is the optimum method to measure the efficiency of the electric utilities.

Abstract:
Against the background of price controls for drinking water supply utilities in Germany, the comparability of utilities with regard to their specific structural conditions comes into focus. Relevant structural conditions were identified for the two main technical processes, namely water production (WP) and treatment, storage and distribution (TSD). A defined clustering process for comparable utilities has been developed. At the end of the process, groups of comparable utilities are obtained including information to what extent and in which structural condition these utilities are similar. These sets of relevant structural conditions and the clustering process were verified in a data assessment study with 45 German utilities. Applying the clustering process to the sample, WP and TSD peer groups of a certain utility are obtained, where structural similarities are above a certain threshold value. Performance and cost indicators of comparable utilities have been evaluated, providing interesting data on general performance levels and spread among individual utilities. The survey underlines the high standard of German water supply in terms of reliability, quality, customer service, sustainability and economic efficiency.

Abstract:
In reality, non-profitable government organizations, other organizations or individuals (G part) and profitable social organizations or individuals (S part) usually construct and operate utilities tunnel together. As quasi public goods, utilities tunnel public project has the character of big scale construction, high investment and long recycle period. In China, utilities tunnel project is mainly fulfilled by non-profitable government organizations and profitable social companies. This paper uses G-S interactive finance framework to analyze finance design for utilities tunnel public project in China. It also develops and deepens G-S interactive finance framework for utilities tunnel project. China’s experience is useful for other countries to construct and operate utilities tunnel engineering project.
