Ownership Of Equipment Research Articles

O powstaniu ex lege służebności gruntowej o treści służebności przesyłu – uwagi na tle orzecznictwa Sądu Najwyższego

On the beginning of legal proceedings regarding the legal consequences of setting up transmission equipment on real estate, the parties often do not take into account the historical and legal conditions in which the transmission devices were put on real estate. Thus, they expose themselves to the risk of dismissing an action in connection with determining the legal nature of the use of real estate. An obstacle to taking into account such claims may be, inter alia, determining that the energy company acquired by law the permanent and effective erga omnes title to the property burdened with the transmission device That was accepted both in the earlier and current case law of the Supreme Court. The article points to the premises and legal grounds for the enfranchisement of state legal persons, in connection with the political transformation that took place in Poland after 1989. In particular, the subject of the analysis is whether or not state transmission companies upon granting them ownership of transmission equipment connected in a network, obtained ex lege limited property rights authorizing them to use the real estate, on which transmission devices are located, and those were owned by the State Treasury in the time of enfranchisement.

Nexus between Financial Inclusion, Gender and Agriculture Productivity in Ghana

The concept of infrastructure, education, availability, usage, affordability, inequality, and accessibility of funds remains useful in agricultural productivity. Nonetheless, the most instrumental challenge of rural farmers is the factors mentioned above, which hindered the growth of agricultural productivity over the years in Africa. As a result, this study examines the nexus between gender, financial inclusion, and Agriculture Productivity in Ghana. The study adopted a cross-sectional research design with secondary data sources from the Ghana Living Statistical Survey 7. Data were analyzed using STATA version 15. The objective of the study was analyzed using the ordinary least square method. The study revealed that financial inclusion has a significant positive relationship with agricultural productivity. Also, factors such as age, farm size, household size, ownership of land have a positive impact on agricultural productivity coupled with the low level of education. Results indicate that farm size, equipment ownership, expenditure on inputs, age, marital status, land ownership, household size, and education level are determinants of agricultural productivity. The paper revealed that male farmers are more financially inclusive than their female counterparts. As a result, the study concluded that there are strong links between gender, financial inclusion, and agricultural productivity. The government and other stakeholders in Ghana need legal and institutional transformations that will help meet the needs and constraints of females, especially in the rural communities, to broaden the scope of financial services hence making them financially inclusive.

Conflict of laws regarding ownership of construction, agricultural and mining equipment

The purpose of this article is to analyze the features of legal regulation of property rights, enshrined in the text of the new Protocol to the Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment on Matters specific to mining, agricultural, and construction equipment. Methodology: In order to analyze the legal regulation of property rights enshrined in the text of the new Protocol to the Convention the provisions of the Protocol and their relationship with the provisions of the Convention (the Cape Town Convention) were examined in detail. Results: The priority of the real rights of the buyer and holders of other real rights is considered differently in the texts of Protocols. The Protocol to the Convention on mining, agricultural and construction equipment establishes an approach similar to the Protocol on Railway Transport. The means and mechanisms used to achieve this differ depending on the economic conditions prevailing in the market where the security transactions are concluded in respect of this type of equipment. Conclusions: The main purpose of the Convention and the Protocol concerning mining, agricultural, and construction equipment is to reduce the cost of credit used to purchase high-value equipment and to increase the availability of credit.

THE SYSTEM OF SUBSTANTIATION OF THE CHOICE OF THE WELL OPERATION METHOD BASED ON THE MATRIX OF APPLICABILITY OF OIL PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGIES

An information system is proposed that uses a new complex methodology for choosing a method for well operation based on applicability criteria and boundary conditions for the parameters of mechanized productivity technologies. A mechanism for selecting technologies is presented, which consists of filtering the general register of technologies according to the selected parameters for assessing the total cost of ownership at the Company’s fields. The process of forming and updating the technology base, criteria of applicability and their boundary conditions is considered. Graphic materials illustrate the prototype of this system. The developed methodology will speed up the process of introducing new production technologies, which in turn will lead to a positive economic effect – a decrease in the total cost of ownership of equipment for oil production at the Exploration and Production Block.

Pemetaan Sosial terhadap Sumberdaya dan Aksesibilitas Nelayan dalam Kebijakan Pembangunan Wisata Pesisir

Many fishermen in Indonesia have not fully utilized marine resources properly. However, the government has several ways to improve the welfare of fishermen in other sectors than the fisheries; one of them is connecting between fishermen, coastal and tourism. Meninting of West Lombok is a strategic coastal village for the tourism sector. This village has started to develop tourist destinations since 2011, unfortunately, there is no data on fishermen as a real interest group. This study develops a research pattern on fishing communities which generally discusses the social resources of fishermen and the political aspects of fishing communities separately. This study used a qualitative approach to the social mapping method. Data obtained through interviews and observations of purposively selected informants. The data related to fishermen resources are in maps, followed by an analysis of their accessibility to policy. Spatial aspects strengthen their social resources, interests, and accessibilities to coastal tourism development. The results show that the social resources of fishermen of Meninting Village are unevenly distributed in five dusun (sub-villages). Indicators shown are; capital ownership, mastery of knowledge and skills, ownership of production equipment, use of science and technology, ability to diversify production, fishermen's sociopolitical relations and ability to recognize the economic prospects of coastal tourism. Fishermen who live in areas directly facing the sea have better social resources and firmer interests in coastal development. The accessibility of fishing groups is limited in the development policy. Only fishermen in sub-village located in a coastal area can show themselves as defenders. While the fishermen who live far from the beach tend to be latent or even apathetic. This study recommends the need for other social mapping studies on the characteristics of coastal communities and the need for the government to use the social mapping information of fishing communities to formulate policies that contain regional aspects in coastal tourism development.

Household Fire Protection Practices in Relation to Socio-demographic Characteristics: Evidence from a Swedish National Survey

The sociodemographic inequalities in the ownership of residential fire safety equipment, fire prevention practices and fire protection knowledge was studied using an inductive and data-driven approach based on the responses to a national Swedish survey containing individual-level data on several dimensions of home fire safety practices (n = 7507). Cluster analysis was used to summarise home fire safety data and sociodemographic characteristics of the sample were then regressed on the data ordinal regression analysis. The results showed significant correlations between the level of fire protection and a range of factors (sex, age, family composition, income, housing type and country of birth), suggesting a positive effect of socioeconomic success. Further, the results imply that having experienced a residential fire has a positive impact on future fire protection practices, and that higher levels of fire protection interest increases the probability of having a functional smoke detector.

Analisa Investasi Pemilihan Hydraulic Exavator Dengan Pertimbangan Aspek Teknis Dan Ekonomis

The ownership of heavy equipment is one of the most interesting business at this time, because the indonesian government is actively developing infrastructure, mining, plantation and agriculture sectore. So, it will be very profitable to do this heavy equipment business if it followed an accurate investment analysis. In this research, researchers took a case study on analyzing the selection of hydraulic excavator from 5 different brands, its Komatsu, Hitachi, Caterpillar, Kobelco and Hyundai with 3 different classes (economical, medium and high mode).This research was conducted by collecting primary data (interviews and field surveys) and secondary data (previeos research journal and literature studies) as supporting data. Data processing with reference to Permen PU no.11/PRT/M/2013. Decision making analysis is based on calculation of Nett Present Value (NPV) method, Internal Rate of Return (IRR) method and Break Event Point (BEP) method.
 After conducting the research, researcher concludes as follows : in the economical class, researcher recommends CAT 313D2 to be invested for the purpose of being rented or used alone. In the medium class, researcher recommends Kobelco SK 200-10 to be invested for the purpose of being rented. In the high mode class, researcher recommends Kobelco SK 330 to be invested for the pupose of being rented. The recommendation that the researcher describes are not absolute decisions to be followed and only as a consideration for investors.

Association Between Ownership of Imaging Equipment and Appropriateness of Staging Positron-Emission Tomography in Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.

Physician ownership of imaging equipment has been shown to be associated with greater use of low-value imaging. However, it is unclear whether ownership also influences utilization of appropriate imaging. We conducted a cohort study of older adults diagnosed with three non-Hodgkin lymphomas with distinct guideline recommendations concerning the use of positron emission tomography (PET) during staging (recommended, not recommended, or equivocal). We found patients who were treated by oncologists with PET ownership were more likely to receive a staging PET regardless of lymphoma subtype. However, the difference in utilization by ownership status was smallest (6%, 95% confidence interval = 2% to 11%, P = .01) in the setting of diffuse large B cell lymphoma, where consensus guidelines recommend routine use of PET. Overall, removing financial incentives related to imaging self-referral may reduce utilization during cancer care, with the potential for greatest impact on imaging of equivocal or low clinical utility.

Class and Structural Inequality of fishing communities in Ambon City

Social class is a social phenomenon that often occurs in every social group including the fishing communities. The structural inequality of fishing communities is characterized by the imbalance in ownership of production equipment and income distribution among fishermen. This research was conducted in one of the Fishermen Village (Negeri) in Ambon City, called Negeri Latuhalat. Type of research used in this study is post-positivism paradigm using qualitative approach supported by quantitative research. The purpose of this research is to analyze the level of imbalance between Ambon City fishermen. The results showed the formation of fishermen social classes which consist of masnait fishermen, tanase fisherman laborer, small fishermen, middle fishermen and tenant fisherman (capitalist). The gini index of fishermen in the research location shows a figure of 0.74, meaning that it shows a high imbalance between fisherman classes. The ratio of kuznets or the average comparison between fishermen received by 33% of the top group of Rp. 8,404,567, - and 25% of the lowest group of Rp. 2.040.000, -. Measurements using the World Bank also show the same thing with the results of gini index measurements that illustrate the portrait of inequality income distribution in the study sites. This condition illustrates that there has been an imbalance between fishermen classes, as much as 75% are only able to receive 8.72% of total income while as much as 25% of tenant fishermen (capitalist) enjoy and control 91.73% of total income.

Livelihood security along beekeeping value chain: lessons from Ghana’s beekeeping experience

The paper examines the security of beekeeping livelihoods amongst men and women in rural and peri-urban Ghana. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, 85 (n = 85) in-depth interviews with individual actors in the beekeeping value chain and institutions were carried out to examine access to resources, strategies, motivations and livelihood outcomes of beekeeping. The findings reveal that although both men and women make a livelihood from beekeeping, it is a male dominated livelihood activity. Women are more challenged in terms of equipment ownership. Institutional support both from governmental and non-governmental circles in the form of education, training and supply of equipment is key in ensuring that beekeepers make optimal gains from beekeeping operations.

Competitive Analysis of the Online Financial Leasing Problem With Price Fluctuation Under the Consumer Price Index

Due to the unstable economy, price fluctuation is an important consideration in the leasing industry. The financial lease is an important financing tool to deal with the price fluctuation by acquiring the equipment at a fixed financial fee after a contract is obtained. The lessee can acquire ownership of equipment upon the expiration of the financial lease after making a series of payments for the use of the equipment. This paper studies the online financial leasing problem with price fluctuation, in which the lessee does not know how long he will use the required equipment. The price fluctuation in this paper is bounded by the definition of the consumer price index. The lessee can use the equipment through two options: operating lease or financial lease. We present an optimal online leasing strategy by using competitive analysis method. Besides, the computational experiments are conducted to evaluate the efficiency of the financial lease responding to price fluctuation.

Effects of population, urbanization, household size, and income on electric appliance adoption in the Chinese residential sector towards 2050

We present an analytical framework to project adoption of household electric appliances under a number of scenarios with different levels of population, urbanization, household size, and per-capita income. This framework enables us to estimate the saturation (i.e., number of a particular electric appliance per household) and the extent of adoption (total number of a particular electric appliance owned in each province), and to assess the impact of each driver. We focus on six types of appliances: personal computer, air conditioner, microwave oven, refrigerator, washing machine and television, and project their adoption during the 2015–2050 period. The projections are conducted for forty-five scenarios that combine five levels of population growth, three levels of per-capita gross domestic product (GDP) and income growth, and three levels of change in household size. We find that, among the six appliances investigated, ownership of personal computers and air conditioning equipment will grow the most, and that the current differences in appliance saturation among provinces and between urban and rural regions will almost disappear by 2050. However, most of the appliances will be owned in urban centers in Eastern China, where the majority of the population will be concentrated. Income growth, combined with urbanization and a reduction in household sizes, increases the total number of appliances, while a reduction in population decreases the total number of appliances. The results can be used as key inputs for long-term electricity system planning and to explore the potential effects of policies to support End-Use Energy Efficiency and Demand Side Response.

Association between Oncologist Ownership of Imaging Facilities and Utilization: An Analysis of Positron-Emission Tomography (PET) Use in Lymphoma Settings with Variable PET Utility

Background: Advanced imaging during cancer care is a target for cost reduction, with 6 of 20 Choosing Wisely recommendations published by leading hematology and medical oncology societies focused on reducing low value imaging. Prior research has found self-referral practices related to clinician ownership of imaging equipment to be associated with greater use of imaging with low clinical utility. However, it is unclear whether ownership also influences utilization of appropriate imaging. We examined and compared the association between oncologist PET ownership and the use of pre-treatment staging PET in three non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) settings: diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) where consensus guidelines recommend PET; follicular lymphoma (FL) where recommendations are equivocal; and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) where guidelines recommend against routine use. Methods: We conducted a population-based cohort study using Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) -Medicare data. Individuals 66+ years old newly diagnosed with DLBCL, FL, or CLL who initiated lymphoma-directed therapy in the community setting between 2004 and 2013 were included. Medicare claims for immunochemotherapy were used to assign each Medicare beneficiary to their treating oncologist. We used a 12-month lookback from each treatment initiation to categorize PET ownership status for each oncologist. Consistent with prior research, oncologists were classified as PET owners if they were listed as billing providers under the technical component or global claim for PET scans. PET claims for all beneficiaries diagnosed with lymphoma in SEER-Medicare were used to identify ownership status. Our primary outcome was receipt of a staging PET scan, defined as a claim for PET within 60 days prior to initiating first-line therapy. In addition to descriptive statistics, we used three separate linear probability models to estimate differences in receipt of a staging PET by ownership status across our NHL subtypes. Our hierarchical multivariable models adjusted for correlation at the provider level and included year of treatment, patient sociodemographic characteristics, lymphoma stage, Elixhauser comorbidity index, and disability status. Results: We identified 9,968 Medicare beneficiaries with DLBCL (n = 5006), FL (n = 2433), or CLL (n = 2529). A total of 2,034 community physicians were identified as their treating oncologists, with 237 (11.7%) physicians having Medicare claims indicating PET ownership. In bivariate analysis, NHL patients (n = 737, 7.4%) who initiated therapy with an oncologist with PET ownership were more likely to receive a staging PET regardless of lymphoma subtype (DLBCL 73.3% vs 65.9%, p = 0.005; FL 71.3% vs 53.2%, p < 0.001; CLL 29.4% vs 14.8%, p < 0.001). In adjusted analysis, PET ownership continued to be associated with higher probability of receiving a staging PET in all three settings. The probability of receiving PET was 17% higher (95% confidence interval [CI]: 8% - 22%, p < 0.001) for PET owners compared to non-owners in the setting of FL, where consensus guidelines were equivocal; and 15% higher (95% CI: 9% - 25%, p <0.001) in the setting of CLL, where consensus guidelines recommend against PET. However, the difference between owners and non-owners was smaller (7%, 95% CI: 3% - 12%, p = 0.003) in the high clinical utility setting of DLBCL, where consensus guidelines recommend use of PET. Conclusion: PET ownership was associated with higher utilization of PET across a spectrum of clinical utility, but the effects were largest in low utility or equivocal settings. Removing financial incentives related to imaging self-referral may reduce utilization of PET scans, but attention to high cost - high utility settings (i.e. PET staging for DLBCL) may be necessary to mitigate unintended consequences.

Food insecurity and food preparation equipment in US households: exploratory results from a cross-sectional questionnaire.

BackgroundFood insecurity (FI) impacted 15.7% (5.9 million) of US households with children in 2017. These households often experience issues within one or more of the food security pillars: access, availability, utilisation or stability. An underexplored area within the pillar of utilisation that may impact FI risk is the availability of kitchen equipment in households. This exploratory project aimed to quantify household food preparation equipment ownership and use by household FI status.MethodsAn online platform (Qualtrics, Provo, UT, USA) was used to administer a questionnaire to a sample of 135 parents of children aged 11–14 years. The instrument queried sociodemographic characteristics, food preparation items owned and frequency of use of 44 items within a 6‐month interval. Household FI was measured using the 18‐item US Department of Agriculture, Household Food Security Survey Module with a 12‐month reference period.ResultsHouseholds experiencing FI (n = 39; 28.9%) owned an average of five fewer items than their food secure counterparts (n = 96, 71.1%, P < 0.001), reporting lower item ownership within each equipment category subgroup (i.e. large appliances, small appliances, food preparation utensils and cooking utensils; all P < 0.01). There were no differences between FI and food secure households in frequency of use (all P > 0.01).ConclusionsCompared to food secure households, the number of food preparation items owned was lower, although frequency of use was the same, in US households that were FI. Future projects should investigate how food equipment ownership impacts cooking behaviours, and whether households experiencing FI display behaviours to compensate for a differing set of equipment.

Prospective intervention opportunities regarding device ownership and the reduction of damage to handheld ruggedized devices with shift workers

AbstractIndustrial equipment such as ruggedized handheld computers, scanners, and label printers used within asset tracking environments are expensive to purchase and costly to repair. For organizations that use this equipment, there is value in understanding when and why damage occurs and how much of those costs are potentially associated with the employees’ own sense of psychological ownership and organizational pride. Given the connection between psychological ownership and pride, the purpose of this study was to analyze employee surveys to determine what methods, tools, or programs could reduce repair and replacement while developing a stronger sense of ownership for ruggedized devices used in material‐handling industries by shift workers. Unstructured interviews about device repair with management from a large industrial company were utilized to create a multiple‐choice, anonymous online survey (n = 353). Of the six interventions proposed, assigning the same device to the same employee every shift appeared to have the most consistent and positive response. Destruction rates and costs should be posted for employee viewing and managers of workgroups with consistently high destruction rates should receive additional training. An incentive‐based program for employees responsible for the least amount of device damage as well as an individual‐assignment of devices to employees may be considered. Applications for this student include providing a tool with which organizations can use to gauge employee ownership of equipment as well as to identify interventions that may aid in mitigating expenses associated with industrially rugged equipment.

Women's asset ownership and children's nutritional status: Evidence from Papua New Guinea

This study examines how women's asset ownership is associated with children's nutritional status in Papua New Guinea, a country with some of the most severe child malnutrition in the world. The 2009–2010 Household Income and Expenditure Survey is employed, but restricted to children under the age of 72 months living with married mothers, leaving a final analytic sample of 1651. Asset ownership is expected to strengthen mothers' income-generating capacity and their bargaining power within the home, which increases investments in children's health. Women's ownership of fishing and agricultural equipment (important for meeting subsistence needs and for generating cash earnings) appears to be driving most of the results. OLS regression results point to beneficial effects of maternal asset ownership for children's height-for-age, weight-for-height, and weight-for-age Z-scores, and results from detailed quantile regressions indicate that these effects occur at various parts of the distribution, especially for children's WAZ scores.

Profitability of no-till grain production systems

In general, the technical and agronomic benefits of no-till farming are widely known and well documented in the literature. However, studies focusing on the economics of no-tillage are scarce. In this context, the objective of this study is to determine whether no-till grain production systems that follow the principles of conservation agriculture are economically profitable by analyzing gross margins per hectare per year over six harvests for the agricultural years 1998/1999 to 2003/2004. In addition, a possible link between profitability and different no-till methods in terms of degree of soil turnover, crop rotation, and whether machinery used in agricultural operations is owned or rented is investigated. For this purpose, the multi-case analytical method was applied to thirteen grain producing family farms in Northern Paraná state, Brazil. Based on the results, two ranges of agricultural production variable costs and gross margins were identified. Higher gross margins were associated with longer use of the no-till system, ownership of machinery and equipment, specialization in grains, rotation of the commercial crops used, and higher variable costs. Lower gross margins were associated with outsourcing of sowing, small-scale cropping, and lack of crop rotation. It is concluded that family mechanized no-till systems of grain production in north Paraná are profitable.

Do Different Types of Assets Have Differential Effects on Child Education? Evidence from Tanzania

This analysis is motivated by recognition that anti-poverty interventions often affect both the level and composition of assets held by beneficiaries. To assess the conventional view that assets uniformly improve childhood development through wealth effects, we use three waves of panel data from Tanzania and test whether different types of assets have differential effects on children's educational outcomes. Our results indicate that household durables and housing quality have positive effects, but agricultural assets have adverse effects on children's highest grade completed and exam performances. We use a Hausman-Taylor instrumental variable (HTIV) panel data estimator to identify the effects of both time-varying and time-invariant endogenous variables. We find that the negative effect of agricultural assets is driven by large agricultural equipment and livestock ownership and the negative effect is more pronounced among rural children, poor children, and children from farming households, presumably due to the higher opportunity cost of schooling.

Role of Learning Process in Capability Development and Business Performance of East Java Manufacturing Firms: Resources as Moderator

The purpose of this research is to analyze how the influence of internal learning of employees, external learning obtained from suppliers and consumers, and ownership of processes and equipment, on the performance of the company. This research also examines the role of human resources as moderator in the relationship between process ownership and equipment with performance. The research population that became the object of this research covers all manufacturing companies operating in Indonesia. The population is a manufacturing company registered by the Manufacturing Company Directory published by the Statistics Centre Bureau of, 2010. The sample is determined by using purposive sampling technique, and the sample selected is a manufacturing company with criteria that have medium and large scale. From the results of hypothesis testing then some of the main findings are presented in this section. First, internal learning positively affects technological capabilities, indicating that ownership of tools and technologies is encouraged or enhanced by improving the internal learning process. The main findings of both studies indicate that external learning will encourage companies to increase their ownership of equipment and technology. Humans are recognize as controllers in the use and utilization of technology. This study is the first step to undertake the development of empirical studies by considering further factors that determine success in resource management and technology primarily through organizational learning. Furthermore, the findings of this study also indicate the factors of operating strategy that moderate ownership of tools and technology companies to performance.
