description: The Commonwealth Department of Health and Family Services is considering options for the update of its guidelines for the preparation of economic analyses which must accompany submissions to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC) for the inclusion of new pharmaceuticals on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Schedule (PBS). As part of this process, the Health Economics Unit of Monash University was commissioned to conduct a review of utility-based quality of life measures with a view to determining the feasibility and/or desirability of developing criteria to assess the quality of utility-based quality of life measures. Such criteria were deemed feasible and desirable and the Health Economics Unit specified a set of guidelines for the measurement and valuation of utility weights, based on theoretical argument and empirical findings drawn from the literature. This paper reports the recommended guidelines arising from the literature review. In-depth discussion of issues surrounding the utility-based quality of life literature, as well as critical reviews of the quality adjusted life year (QALY) and multi-attribute utility (MAU) literatures are given in several companion CHPE working papers. Our overall recommendations are as follows: (i) Ideally, ‘core’ utility measurement should be carried out with an MAU instrument. Holistic measurement should only be used as a supplement. (ii) It is recognised that, especially in a short run, research teams may be unable to meet this requirement and, that well-conducted holistic measurement is clearly better than no utility measurement at all. (iii) Where possible, holistic measurement should meet the requirements detailed in the guidelines and the persuasiveness of the utility evidence should be, in large part, a function of the adoption of the recommended procedures. (iv) The meaning of cost utility ratios calculated with idiosyncratic methods is difficult to interpret and should be discounted. (v) The use of an MAU instrument imposes a particular set of characteristics upon the utility measurement. Optional measurement additional to or, in exceptional circumstance, replacing core measurement should therefore adopt the same characteristics. Any optional or supplementary measurement must be carried out in such a way that the information is comparable with core information from other studies.

description: La comunidad universitaria de la Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas “Francisco García Salinas” (UAZ), integrada por estudiantes, trabajadores administrativos y docentes, durante el proceso de reforma iniciada en 1998 y concretada en el año 2001, con la aprobación de la nueva normatividad, en la Cámara de diputados, de Zacatecas, acordó la creación de un órgano colegiado, cuya función y objetivo central sería la vigilancia, preservación y respeto de los derechos de los universitarios, desde el origen de la propuesta se perfila el nombre que le identifica institucionalmente “Defensoría de los derechos universitarios”. El interés y el acuerdo de la creación de la instancia se expresó desde la fase de propuestas, análisis y acuerdos, aunque las evidencias se encuentran en los cuadernillos de la reforma, se deja en espera hasta el año 2001 cuando se aprueba la Ley Orgánica Universitaria vigente, así como otros cuerpos normativos. En la estructura y configuración de la defensoría se mantiene la idea de un órgano colegiado independiente y desconcentrado de las autoridades unipersonales de la universidad. La comunidad universitaria en su expresión de docentes, estudiantes y trabajadores genera relaciones sociales múltiples y diversas que se expresan en campos de ejercicio de poder y de autoridad, con diversidad de intereses que en no pocas ocasiones se transforman y expresan en conflictos que derivan en derechos violentados por autoridades y por universitarios. Este campo de lucha de derechos se delimita y rige por los temas y conceptos generados en torno a los derechos y obligaciones universitarios contemplados tanto en la Ley Orgánica, Estatuto General, Reglamento Escolar General, Reglamento Académico, así como en el Contrato Colectivo de Trabajo.

description: This paper discusses the implications of the relationship between national cultural values and espoused organisational values. Through a formal content analysis which established a series of espoused organisational values, an overlay process with Hofstede's research findings of national values was undertaken. The results from this process confirmed that within three Japanese trading companies, a level of alignment existed between national and espoused organisational values. Japanese national values have shaped the espoused organisational values of Japanese corporations and their business success. Australian firms may benefit from identifying national values, shaping these into positive espoused organisational values, leading to increases in productivity and international competitiveness.

description: In recent years there has been growing recognition of the need to consider the economic evaluation of health care in Australia. Increasing resources are being devoted to assessment of the costs, risks and benefits of health technologies; and considerable progress has been made in methodological development. However, the relationship between evaluation studies and changes in policy and practice is less clear. The paper explores some of the factors influencing the effectiveness of the links between economic evaluation studies on the one hand and changes in health policy and practice on the other. It is emphasised that mechanisms for encouraging a rational diffusion and use of health technology (and by implication economic evaluation) need to make an impact on (at least) two parallel decision making processes. The first concerns planning decisions about which facilities to provide and which programs or therapies to reimburse or fund, while the second is concerned with clinical decisions about the care to be given to individual patients.

Efficient Recommendation with Millions of Items by Dynamic Pruning of Sub-Item Embeddings

description: A large item catalogue is a major challenge for deploying modern sequential recommender models, since it makes the memory footprint of the model large and increases inference latency. One promising approach to address this is RecJPQ, which replaces item embeddings with sub-item embeddings. However, slow inference remains problematic because finding the top highest-scored items usually requires scoring all items in the catalogue, which may not be feasible for large catalogues. By adapting dynamic pruning concepts from document retrieval, we propose the RecJPQPrune dynamic pruning algorithm to efficiently find the top highest-scored items without computing the scores of all items in the catalogue. Our RecJPQPrune algorithm is safe-up-to-rank K since it theoretically guarantees that no potentially high-scored item is excluded from the final top K recommendation list, thereby ensuring no impact on effectiveness. Our experiments on two large datasets and three recommendation models demonstrate the efficiency achievable using RecJPQPrune: for instance, on the Tmall dataset with 2.2M items, we can reduce the median model scoring time by 64 times compared to the Transformer Default baseline, and 5.3 times compared to a recent scoring approach called PQTopK. Overall, this paper demonstrates the effective and efficient inference of Transformer-based recommendation models at catalogue scales not previously reported in the literature. Indeed, our RecJPQPrune algorithm can score 2 million items in under 10 milliseconds without GPUs, and without relying on Approximate Nearest Neighbour (ANN) techniques.

Integrating econometric and environmetric modelling

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper is organized around brief accounts of two modelling initiatives, one with an Australian and the other with a global focus, which have contributed to the policy debate about greenhouse gas abatement. The Australian study involved the combined use of an energy technology programming model, MENSA/MARKAL, with an applied general equilibrium model of the Australian economy, ORANI-F. This interfaced suite of models was used to inform the Australian government’s consultations on environmentally sustainable development. The second study involves the Global 2100 model, which also uses a mathematical programming model of energy technology, but couples it to a macro, rather than an applied general equilibrium model. The latter study is one of several, each based on a different model, used as an input to OECD deliberations on greenhouse. After giving brief accounts of the interfaces between the environmetric and economic component modules of ORANI-F\MENSA/MARKAL and of Global 2100 and a synopsis of what insights into global warming have come out of these models, I set out my ideas about how better interfaces between econometric and environmetric models can be achieved. These suggestions relate more to the ’culture’ of modelling than to technicalities. It seems that the technical (often model-specific) problems encountered at the interfaces will be more tractable if everyone involved adopts the same computer modelling language and standards of documentation. Modellers from both sides will have to discipline themselves to keep their component models down to a size that allows the interfaced system to be solved using computer resources that are routinely available.
Amending the Industrial Relations Statute: An Australian Preoccupation

description: There is a popular perception that industrial relations as a public policy issue in Australia enjoys a prominence unparalleled in democratic states. The parliament is an important forum for the implementation of public policy. A study of federal parliamentary Bills concerned with industrial relations during the period 1956-1999 has identified 95 Bills linked to the Commonwealth's pnncipal industrial relations statute. The findings include the fact that the high level of parliamentary activity is not the preoccupation of a particular political party. It is, rather, an Australian preoccupation, with the number of Bills introduced by Liberal-National governments and Labor governments being roughly proportional to their respective periods of office. Thirty-three per cent of Bills were either defeated, lapsed or withdrawn although about half the Bills in this category were private members' Bills. The database reveals industrial relations as predominantly a contested area of public policy with less than 30 per cent of Bills being bipartisan and most of these being minor Bills dealing with minor issues. The paper explores areas for further research including the need to examine the relationship between public resources invested in changes in industrial relations legislation and practice outcomes.

Labour Market Intervention, Revenue Sharing and Competitive Balance in the Victorian Football League/Australian Football League (VFL/AFL), 1897-1998

description: This paper summarises some key aspects of a recently completed PhD thesis in the Department by Booth (2000), entitled 'Labour Market Intervention, Revenue Sharing and Competitive Balance in the Victorian Football League/Australian Football League (VFL/AFL), 1897- 1998'. The thesis is a theoretical and empirical analysis of whether labour market devices and revenue sharing rules have been effective in equalising the distribution of playing talent between clubs, thereby enhancing competitive balance. The history of labour market intervention and revenue sharing in the VFL/AFL from the league's formation in 1897 is discussed, with six different periods between 1897 and 1998 being identified for analysis. Fort and Quirk's (1995) model of US professional team sports leagues is chosen to analyse the effectiveness of the various devices that have been used in the VFLIAFL to improve competitive balance. But the model is first adapted to allow for VFL/AFL clubs being win maximisers (subject to a budget constraint) rather than profit maximisers. The various devices used by the VFL/AFL are assessed in terms of their likely impact on competitive balance, with some significantly different theoretical predictions than under profit maximisation. It was found that free agency results in a less equal distribution of player talent under win maximisation, whilst both gate sharing and increases in shared league-revenue tend to equalise playing strengths (which is not the case under profit maximisation). The conclusion reached is that a national player draft, a team salary cap and gate and league-revenue sharing is that combination most likely to succeed in achieving higher levels of competitive balance. The evidence of competitive balance over the history of the VFL/AFL is consistent with the predictions of the model.

description: This paper looks at the connection between internal migration and unemployment in South Africa. We examine whether rural-urban migrants are more likely to be unemployed, in informal sector employment or underemployed than non-migrants. We build on standard economic theory to predict that rates of unemployment and of participation in the informal sector ought to be much higher for migrants than for non-migrants. The empirical evidence we present, based on the 1993 and 1994 October Household Surveys, provides only some support for this theory. Results suggest that compared to job seeking non-migrants, recent migrants do well at finding formal employment, and are much less likely to be unemployed.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.

Un método para el análisis estratégico del sector salud

Publisher: name: Contexto Odontológico
Year: 2021

description: Para fundamentar el método y las técnicas a ser utilizados en el análisis estratégico del sector salud en México, algunas consideraciones teóricas deben ser hechas, según Santos (1995), en la ciencia moderna la ruptura epistemológica simboliza el salto cualitativo del conocimiento del sentido común para el conocimiento científico; en la ciencia posmoderna el salto más importante es lo contrario, del conocimiento científico para el conocimiento del sentido común. Se trata, entonces, de una racionalidad hecha de racionalidades, de un conocimiento del conocimiento y para que esta configuración de conocimientos ocurra es necesario invertir la ruptura epistemológica de la ciencia moderna. Según esto, es posible en el acto de conocimiento, partir de un punto de ignorancia para un punto de conocimiento, existiendo, en el proyecto de modernidad, el conocimiento regulador que surge entre el caos y el orden, que caracteriza al conocimiento hegemónico; o bien, por el conocimiento emancipatorio que se desenvuelve del colonialismo hasta la solidaridad como un salto paradigmático de crítica al conocimiento dominante. Los desafíos a ser resueltos son: del predominio del monoculturalismo para el multiculturalismo; de la descontextualización de sus acciones para la previsión de sus consecuencias; y de la objetividad y neutralidad para maximizar la objetividad y minimizar la neutralidad, ya que las acciones y la subjetividad son tanto productos como productores de los procesos sociales (Santos 2005).

description: This was the second of two papers investigating the capability of a consulting firm (the Company) to adopt a team-based business model. The first paper concluded that the evidence suggests that the Company did not have the existing structures, policy and culture to move to team based work. This paper examines the capability of the consultants within the Company to move to a team-based business model using an instrument to determine team role preferences. The conclusion was that the highly individualistic team role preferences of the consultants would not support the proposed business model.

description: Let {Zjt : j = 1,2...k, t = 0 ±1, ±2,.......} be k independent stationary processes, with spectral density functions Szj(w) ,j = 1.2....k. In many real world situations there is a need to compare two or more spectra. Tests to compare spectra already exist in the literature. In this paper we propose a test, based on Bartlett's modification of the likelihood ratio criterion, for comparing two or more spectra. Simulation studies show that for k=2 this test is comparable and in some cases better than exiting test procedures. The performance of this test for k=3 is also assessed.
Strategic Management of Supply Chain Approaches

description: The effective coordination and management of the supply chain requires collective know-how including the ability to synchronise processes. This conceptual paper seeks further understanding of the integrated, semi-integrated and independent strategic approaches within international supply chain management (SCM). Constructs of organisational structure, control, relationships and culture that have been developed in prior international marketing, customer relationship marketing and SCM literature will be extended. We identify limitations of existing strategic approaches and tensions that may affect the coordination of the supply chain. This is important as globalisation is driving advanced information technologies, lower trade barriers and economic rationalisation, which are changing business perceptions. We propose a conceptual model that encapsulates these constructs and dimension of the SCM process, which provides greater understanding of the links that make for a streamlined and efficient supply chain at a local level, which has major implications for management of global supply chains.

description: Humano no es de inmediato un objeto, es primeramente un problema, en el sentido griego (luego desarrollado por Gaston Bachelar): a saber, un obstáculo epistemológico. ¿Queremos saber qué es un ser humano? Antes de decírnoslo tendríamos que borrar lo que creemos o imaginamos o nos han dicho que somos (en el supuesto de que nos reconozcamos vagamente en cuanto tales). Lo humano es percibido como un estorbo para saber las cosas a ciencia cierta. lo humano tiene que “hacerse transparente y transitorio”, como señala Hans Blumerberg, a fin de dar lugar a un auténtico saber. Si nos importa saber lo que somos es porque hay desde luego otras cosas importantes por saber; y por saber con absoluta certeza, pues el conocimiento no es un juego. ¿No lo es? No para ciertas formas de concebir el trabajo del pensamiento.

description: The Chinese government has launched extensive reforms to encourage integration with the global economy. These reforms have brought significant contextual changes for the human resource (HR) function and human resource management (HRM) practices in Chinese enterprises. Our research investigates the implications for HRM practices of the changing business environment in China, ownership of organizations, organizational strategies, and strategic integration of the HR function. We conducted two surveys in major Chinese cities in 1994/5 and 2001/2, with managers of state-owned, privately-owned, collective-owned and foreign-invested enterprises. Our results suggest an emerging strategic role for the HR function in Chinese enterprises, with evidence of participation in strategic decision making and a continuing emphasis on the competencies (i.e., qualifications and work experience) of HR managers. Regression analyses showed that organizational strategy and organizational ownership, in contrast with earlier research, were not found to be strong predictors of HRM practices. The changing business environment in China and participation by the HR function in strategic decision making were the strongest predictors of HRM practices. Overall, a strategic role for the HR function and implementation of 'Western' HRM practices are becoming more prevalent in China, although the legacy of traditional practices endures and new challenges are emerging.

description: Over the last two decades we have witnessed a dramatic move towards a global economy and the globalisation of manufacturing. Some companies are forced to go global because of saturating domestic markets and diminishing profits whilst others recognise the opportunities in growing and developing regions which offer lower manufacturing costs and very large customer base. This paper describes the experiences of Siemens A G in relation to global manufacturing and identifies some of the key lessons learnt from its global operations. These included the importance of a having a long-term strategy, the adoption of a structured approach for technology transfer, a broad base of research and production facilities incorporating joint ventures and the role of training and integration of local technology and culture to tune products to local market requirements.

description: One of the purposes of software quality certification is to enable organisations to effectively manage issues generally considered problematic within the software development process. In an earlier paper the authors established that the process of certification has a number of positive consequences. In this paper we present two models developed firom the experiences of three software development organisations that had gained ISO 9001 certification. These models articulate the mechanics by which the practical benefits of certification are realised. The models suggest explanations for how, and under what circumstances, certification will lead to positive outcomes.

description: Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease where connections between neurons in the brain deteriorate, leading to memory loss and mental decline. Though it is the most common form of dementia, it is difficult to conclusively diagnose, especially at early stages of the disease. One way to test for AD is by looking for biomarkers within spinal fluid (SF), with one specific biomarker being total tau (t-tau). Tau proteins function by keeping microtubules within axons stable. However, when hyperphosphorylated, tau proteins are found to create neurofibrillary tangles within the brain, which contribute to interrupted neuronal signaling associated with AD. Increased levels of tau proteins in biological fluids, such as SF, strongly correlate to AD presence. Though SF has widely been used for AD diagnosis, lumbar puncture procedures are invasive, painful, and must be conducted in a hospital. Other tests, such as PET scans, are used to observe the presence of tau tangles, but can be expensive and inaccessible. Finally, cognitive tests are unable to give quantitative data, and can make it hard to differentiate between AD and other forms of dementia. If an easier, safer, and more available method existed to quantitatively diagnose AD, more patients could be willing to get screened. Blood is being explored as an alternate biological sample for AD diagnostics. Blood tests for AD would be more accessible, carry less risk for patients, and would simplify disease progression monitoring. T-tau has already been shown to have diagnostic relevance within blood. Though levels of t-tau within blood are lower than that in SF, Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) is used to improve detection. It is a highly sensitive spectroscopy technique which can identify biological targets in smaller quantities. Gold nanostars act as the SERS probe in this platform, where antibodies for total tau are used to capture and help detect tau. A baseline SERS-based sensor for the detection of total tau protein has been developed, showing potential to detect tau in the lower levels found in blood. This platform helps to further explore the capacity of tau protein as a diagnostically relevant AD biomarker within blood, by utilizing SERS for higher sensitivity detection.

description: This paper considers the relationship between growth in real per capita GDP and the growth in real per capita GDP of the poorest 20% of a country. It uses the data set compiled by Dollar and Kraay (2002), but come to very different conclusions. We argue that if the purpose is to answer questions about the impact of growth on the poor, models are best estimated in growth rates. The empirical results show that growth's impact on the poor occurs in two episodes. First, in periods of sustained economic slowdown (negative growth over a period of at least 5 years), the poor clearly suffer more than the average. In contrast, where economies are growing, the poor do not benefit as much as the average. We also find that the poor benefit from growth less in periods of high inflation, and in countries with low average income.

description: This paper examines the role of identity in knowledge workers' intentions to repatriate after international work experience. Using a sample of 563 Australian professionals currently working overseas, we investigate the relationships between intention to repatriate and national identity, factors that 'pull' professionals to work outside Australia and those that would 'push' them to return home, and demographic characteristics. This research has implications for individuals, employers and government policy with regard to the management of talent flows of knowledge workers.

description: El presente artículo centra su atención en Identificar el consumo de azucares en los adolescentes de la escuela primaria Francisco I. Madero, ubicada en la comunidad de La Luz, Municipio Río Grande, Zacatecas. El consumo elevado de azúcares se asocia con diversas patologías como sobrepeso, obesidad, alteraciones hepáticas, diabetes, hiperlipidemia, hígado graso, algunos tipos de cáncer y caries dental. Reconociendo el impacto en salud del consumo de azúcares, es necesario considerar la regulación de su contenido en los productos procesados, así como algunas metas de consumo para lograr evitar estas complicaciones patológicas. Se aplicó un cuestionario auto administrado: ¿Consumes golosinas durante el día?, ¿Qué tipo de golosinas consumes?, ¿Dónde acostumbras a comprar la golosina? A 60 alumnos inscritos en el ciclo escolar 2018-2019. La población escolar total fue de 360 alumnos, de los que se tomó una muestra de 50 alumnos, agrupados en 3 grupo: 6º A, 6º B y 6º C mediante muestreo estratificado por conveniencia. Se utilizó escala de medición tipo Likert para valorar el conjunto de ítems en forma de afirmaciones para medir la reacción del sujeto. Se observó en términos generales que el consumo de azúcares: El 100% de los adolescentes consumen golosinas durante el día. El 42% acostumbra a comprar las golosinas en la cooperativa de la institución en la que estudia, el 39% acostumbra a comprarlas en una tienda cercana a su casa, el 11% las compra fuera de la escuela (vendedores ambulantes) y el 8% las tiene en su hogar. El 29% acostumbra a comer panques, el 27% galletas, se identificó claramente una preferencia por carbohidratos. El 17% consumen chocolates, el 16% helados y el 11% dulces.

description: El poeta aparece como un traductor o descifrador de símbolos. La naturaleza sólo es apreciada por las impresiones que desencadena en el interior del espíritu del artista. Mediante el poder de la imaginación, el poeta es capaz de descubrir la relación oculta que existe entre los objetos del universo. Se analiza en este ensayo, la experiencia moderna del poeta en la ciudad, la visión romántica de Baudelaire en contacto con el arte de su tiempo y el mal de vivir, el tedio y el spleen que conecta con la alegoría y la modernidad.

description: In a two-period OLG framework, there is only one rate of population growth at which the competitive equilbrium outcome Is also the golden rule outcome. I show that this is the welfare minimizing outcome for agents. Moreover, I show that as population growth increases beyond the welfare minimizing level, agents are better off even as the economy becomes more dynamically inefficient.

description: El confinamiento social en casa, como consecuencia de la pandemia del Covid-19 en México, ha puesto en conflicto a la mayor parte de los maestros, alumnos y padres de familia de la educación preescolar y primaria; igualmente que a los docentes y estudiantes de los institutos y las universidades públicas y privadas. Es por eso que ha sido necesario pensar cómo habría de entenderse -y atenderse- la continuidad pedagógica a distancia, para lo cual se tuvo que echar mano de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación disponibles y comunes, para asegurar el desarrollo de los contenidos de los programas académicos. En esa perspectiva, se pensó en realizar una consulta a algunos docentes de estos niveles educativos, para lo cual se diseñó y se aplicó un cuestionario de encuesta sobre la vivencia de esta experiencia de trabajo en casa; destacando las maneras como cada uno de los maestros consultados estaban resolviendo esta exigencia de atender a sus alumnos, a distancia. Así que gran parte de las ideas que se incluyen en este artículo pedagógico, representan, en el fondo, sus respuestas consignadas en el instrumento de encuesta mencionado.
