Timely access to specialist medical oncology services closer to home for rural patients: experience from the Townsville Teleoncology Model.

Prior to 2009, the teleoncology model of the Townsville Cancer Centre (TCC) did not achieve its aims of equal waiting times for rural and urban patients and the provision of reliable, local acute cancer care. From 2007-2009, 60 new patients from Mt Isa travelled to TCC for their first consultation and their first dose of chemotherapy. Six of these patients required inter-hospital transfers and eight required urgent flights to attend outpatient clinics. Only 50% these rural patients (n = 30) were reviewed within one week of their referral, compared with 90% of Townsville patients. A descriptive study. TCC provides teleoncology services to 21 rural towns; the largest is Mt Isa, Qld. Specialist review of 90% of urgent cases within 24 hours, and 90% of non-urgent cases within one week of referral via videoconferencing. A 50% reduction in inpatient inter-hospital transfers from Mt Isa to Townsville. Employment of a half-time medical officer and a half-time cancer care coordinator, and implementation of new policies. Between 2009 and 2011, TCC provided cancer care to 70 new patients from Mt Isa. Of these new patients, 93% (65/70) were seen within one week of referral. All 17 patients requiring urgent reviews were seen within 24 hours of referral and managed locally thus eliminating the need for inpatient inter-hospital transfers. Provision of timely acute cancer care closer to home requires an increase in the rural case complexity and human resources.

Research on the Increase of Agriculture Economy of China with the Development of Information Technology

The contents, statistics, composition and challenge of agriculture-information are discussed in this paper. The influence of agriculture-information on the intensive growth of agriculture is analyzed empirically, which indicates that information has become an important production factor. Though without certain form, information promotes intensive growth of agricultural economy by increasing the quality of production factor including labor, land and capital. The mechanism in which agriculture-information influences the intensive growth of agricultural economy is promoting the accumulation, structure studied theoretically, which includes optimizing and of agriculture; accelerating agricultural knowledge technological progress and extension; creating transparent information environment to optimize the allocation of resource; promoting scientific management of agriculture and civilization of rural human resource; strengthening the function of agricultural cooperative organization and spurring on the improvement of agricultural economic environment.

A socio-professional analysis of the semisubsistence farms managers in Dambovita county

The requirement for improving human skills from agro-food and forestry system is even more acute if we consider the fact that Romania is rich in rural human resources, in quantitative terms (number), but still poor in terms of quality and professionalism of the human resources, in terms of European competitive and competition point of view. This research study is based on quantitative and qualitative analysis of a sample of 500 farmers in DA¢mboviA£a County who accessed Measure 141 and who attended information and vocational training courses in economics. The sample was stratified according to various criteria: field of activity, sex, different age groups of the managers of the holdings, levels of agricultural and non-agricultural training, education, skills, etc. All these criteria were correlated and analyzed according to the minimum levels of knowledge of farmers in management, accounting, marketing and organic farming, after at least two years after projects implementation. Due to the highly heterogeneous basic training, within the non-agricultural part without economic knowledge, authorized small farmers were forced by the newly created circumstances to adapt and cope on-going, more or less correctly and thoroughly, to the new accounting, fiscal and management requirements. The farmers’ education and vocational training, as well as the monitoring of the implementation of projects have also had an impact on the use of financial support and the quality of farm management and marketing of agricultural products.

Policy Perspectives on Social, Agricultural, and Rural Sustainability1

Abstract Three types of agricultural, or sustainability, policy are introduced. One deals with the interests of society, another with the agricultural sector, and the third with rural people and places. Each type serves different purposes, interest groups, and issues. Yet, they share some common ground. Because social, agricultural, and rural objectives are interdependent, we need all three policy types if any is to be effective in a highly specialized society. Agricultural policy often substitutes for rural policy, but this is inadequate. Factors shaping the rural policy context include regionality, the large rural population, the rural situation, lack of rural human resource development, technological displacement, and legislation. The environment, economic change, physical infrastructure, social services, jobs, and the role of land grant universities are issues to be considered in rural policy.

Rural accessibility problems and human resource development: Case study from Nigeria

This paper focuses on rural transport as a crucial factor in rural development. It examines the problems posed by poor transportation and the extent to which these constitute constraints to the mobilization of human resources for rural development. Using Kwara State. Nigeria, as a case study, the study shows the poor nature of rural transport network and its effect on the evacuation of agricultural products from the farm centres to markets. This accessibility problem was found to have negative effects on the farmers who are not in the least motivated to increase the acreage cultivated.

An Evaluation of Growth-Center Theory and Practice

This paper examines empirical and theoretical issues associated with the growth-center approach to regional development, and argues that despite many difficulties the major themes of the growth-center literature still have relevance to regional policy. Although there has been increasing interest in analyzing the nature and significance of spontaneously growing urban places, the growth-center approach is most meaningful in the context of induced growth. There is little evidence that induced growth centers generate significant spread effects on their economically lagging hinterlands; but they can properly serve as regional centers of in-migration. It is difficult to derive an adequate growth model from a market-oriented hierarchy of central place schemes. If one is concerned with innovations and impulses of economic change, using the central place model as a locational matrix or landscape, it should be recognized that information and innovations can be transmitted upward through the hierarchy or laterally among centers of the same level, even though the diffusion process is likely to operate in a downward direction. Recent studies by Pred, Törnqvist, and Goddard indicate that these issues may be clarified by shifting attention to organizational information flows within urban systems. Nevertheless, attempts to focus on the functioning of the ‘postindustrial’ society should not detract from the opportunities that manufacturing decentralization represents for many nonmetropolitan areas. Of course, better access within national (or even international) communications networks can be of considerable help to these areas, not only in attracting more manufacturing activity, but also in upgrading its quality. This in turn depends on the ability of people in lagging regions to take advantage of opportunities, that is, on the quality of rural human resources. The failure of most growth-center theory and practice to include explicitly human resource and manpower dimensions is at least equal to the neglect of information circulation.
