Study of Production Performance and Economic of Broiler Farms in Parwan Afghanistan

Poultry industry is one of the main source of income in Afghanistan, where about 1.5 million people are engaged in this sector. In recent years, from 476 poultry farms only 165 farms are continuing their activities in Parwan province of Afghanistan, which means that most of previous farms are broken down. In this research, 30 broiler chicken farms were selected by random sampling method and to evaluate the production performance and economical status of broiler farms in Parwan, Afghanistan. Data were collected by using questionaries’ and personal interviews. Based on the results, it was found that the production performance of the chickens was such as the feed conversion ratio was 1.83, the livability percentage was 90.23%, the average market weight was 1.9 kg, and the mortality rate was 9.77%. The fixed costs included 5.64% worker's salary, 0.79% farm rent and 0.32% electricity bill which are totally (6.75%). Variable costs include the cost of a day-old chicken 6.98%, feed cost 70.45%, veterinary service cost 3.44%, litter cost 1.41%, worker food cost 2.11%, fuel cost 7.05% and miscellaneous cost were 1.47%, which totally reached (93.25%). The total income which were earned 97.93% from live chickens as main product and 2.07% from manure as by product and the benefit cost ratio was 1.07%. To conclude this, as the broiler production is profitable, but the proportion of income is less than the investment. In order to improve the income, it is recommended to provide high-quality feed, prevent diseases, providing high-quality vaccines and medicines, and hiring experts in broiler farms.

Literature Review of the Effectiveness of Using Aggregate Planing in the Msme Industry

This research investigates the effectiveness of using Aggregate Planning in the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) industry. Through a literature review using national and international scientific journal articles from 2018-2023, this research identified three main approaches to aggregate planning: Level Strategy, Chase Strategy, and Mixed Strategy. Level Strategy maintains production levels at a constant level, using inventory as a buffer to deal with fluctuations in demand. Chase Strategy adjusts production directly to market demand, minimizing inventory and carrying costs. Mixed Strategy, a combination of Chase Strategy and Level Strategy, combines the flexibility of Chase Strategy with the stability of Level Strategy to optimize production and inventory costs. This research describes how MSMEs in the children's clothing industry implement these three strategies. In Level Strategy, production is kept at a constant level, using inventory as a buffer. In the Chase Strategy, production is matched directly to demand, reducing inventory and carrying costs. In Mixed Strategy, the combination of strategies allows flexible response to demand fluctuations, minimizing inventory costs. The calculation results show that using Mixed Strategy allows companies to optimize production, reduce inventory costs, and respond quickly to variations in market demand. The total costs during this period were the result of production costs, inventory costs, overtime costs, and worker salaries, reaching a total of IDR 124,900,000. This research provides insight into how MSMEs can utilize aggregate planning with various strategies to increase their operational efficiency and flexibility in facing market dynamics.

Austrian Health Expenditure Projections and Excess Health Expenditure due to COVID

Abstract According to System of Health Accounts (SHA) data total health expenditures in Austria have grown on average by 3.9% per year from 2000 to 2019. This was followed by high growth rates of 5.1% and 11.9% in 2020 and 2021, respectively. The steep increase was caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic. However, quantifying the effect of the pandemic on health expenditures is not straightforward and significant uncertainties remain about how future health expenditures will be affected and how they can most accurately be projected, particularly given recent high economic uncertainties. In this project we developed several models to predict Austrian health expenditures. Most importantly, we compare models based on demand and cost driving factors with a simple GDP-linked model. We assess the performance of the different models by predicting past health expenditure data up to 2019. Comparing the model predictions for the pandemic years with the actual SHA data provides an approach to estimate the net impact of the pandemic. Several different dynamics play a role in how COVID-19 has been affecting health expenditures. We find that the pandemic has caused sizeable one-time costs in the years 2020-2022, but “regular” health expenditures partially decreased during that time due to forgone elective and preventive care. As COVID-19 becomes an endemic disease it also becomes an additional long-term burden on the health system, but the main driver of health expenditure is currently inflation. The shock of the pandemic has created a structural break for the health sector with many not yet well-known consequences such as systematic changes in work conditions or salaries for health sector employees. With the currently available data and information, many of these effects cannot be directly built into the prediction models. However, we compare our models in their projections of future health expenses until 2030 with past projections from 2019 for the year 2030 under different scenarios. Key messages • The pandemic has caused sizeable one-time costs in the years 2020-2022, but “regular” health expenditures partially decreased during that time due to forgone elective and preventive care. • As COVID-19 becomes an endemic disease it also becomes an additional long-term burden on the health system, but the main driver of health expenditure is currently inflation.

Spatiotemporal Characteristics and Determinants of Rural Construction Land in China’s Developed Areas: A Case Study of the Yangtze River Delta

Rural construction land (RCL) received less attention but played an important role to control rural land use. Studying the RCL of developed areas may provide valuable references for underdeveloped areas to optimize land use. The Yangtze River Delta (YRD) is the most economically developed region in China. The study is intended to explore the spatiotemporal characteristics and determinants of RCL in the YRD based on a period of data from 1990 to 2017. The results show that the RCL in the YRD increases at an average annual rate of 5.38% but the growth rate tends to decrease. There is a weak spatial linkage of the RCL growth between cities. Clear spatial differences exist in the effects of every determinant of RCL. The correlation between the rural population and the RCL is unstable, which proves the existence of hollow villages. There is no clear correlation between the RCL and the local economy and accessibility, as the rural population normally goes to few big cities for higher salary work but spends the money in their hometowns on building homes. These findings help optimize rural land use in the YRD and provide an important reference for planning land use in underdeveloped regions.

Corruption as a Barrier to Health Service Delivery in Lira District, Uganda

Purpose: This study set to investigate the relationship between corruption and health service delivery in the Lira district. Four objectives were targeted: determining the effect of corruption on health service delivery, examining corrupt actions, mechanisms of fighting corruption and challenges faced by the public in fighting corruption in Lira district. Methodology: The study adopted a cross-sectional study design that employed a mixed-methods approach of both quantitative and qualitative methods. The study population consisted of 120 people, which comprised patients, in-charges of Ogur and Amach Health Center IV, village health teams, and some community leaders. The researcher used self-administered questionnaires to collect data, an interview guide, and a focus group discussion checklist for qualitative. The descriptive statistics (mean, frequency, and standard deviation) and the regression statistics were used to determine the effect of corruption on health service delivery. Findings: The study found that corruption is associated with poor health service delivery in government health facilities. The regression coefficient of 0.97 and R-square of 0.97 reveal a strong correlation, which affects health service delivery by 38.2 percentage points. There are numerous corruption actions in health facilities, such as the selling of government drugs to patients; bribery, especially in the outpatient department; theft of health commodities; nepotism; favoritism; segregation at all service points in health facilities; and poor accountability. The mechanisms of fighting corruption in the health sector were community empowerment, community campaigns against corruption, reporting of suspected cases of corruption, tight supervision of government employees, and others. The challenges faced by the public in fighting against corruption were lack of community empowerment, a lack of information, unclear reporting channels for corrupt perpetrators, community ignorance, and fears of being mistreated by health workers, a weak political system, and bribery. Unique contribution to theory, policy and practice: It was recommended that the government of Uganda should increase health worker salaries; tighten supervision of health workers at least weekly for effective monitoring; and a contract for fighting corruption be awarded to a private company because it worked well with the Apac anti-corruption coalition (TACC). This study contributes to the re-awakening of stakeholders on the depth of corruption in basic service delivery in Uganda.

Transportation scheduling for modules used in modular integrated construction

ABSTRACT Modular integrated construction (MiC) is an innovative construction method that is widely used in practice, but high transportation cost is an obstacle to its wider implementation. This paper is motivated by the real-world need for a scientific approach for MiC transport scheduling, and addresses the practical problem of how to achieve on-time door-to-door MiC delivery in an economical manner. An innovative integer programming model is formulated with the objective of minimising the total transportation costs, including trailer rental, fuel costs, and worker salaries. A case study based on Hong Kong data validates that the developed model can be efficiently solved for problems of practical size. The results also demonstrate that the derived MiC schedule plan can reduce transportation costs by 58.7% compared with a just-in-time (JIT) strategy, thus bringing great economic benefits to off-site construction practitioners. Useful managerial implications related to on-site MiC storage areas are derived through sensitivity analysis. Overall, this paper sets the ground for the application of mathematical programming methodology to the off-site construction field. Future research may be devoted to MiC transport scheduling under uncertainty.

SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Cities from the Southern Region of Bahia State, Brazil: Analysis of Variables Associated in Both Individual and Community Level.

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), challenged public health systems worldwide. Individuals in low-income countries/regions are still at individual and community risk concerning inequality, sanitation, and economic conditions. Besides, during the pandemic, the transmission in municipalities and communities in the countryside and less developed regions kept viral spread and required structured and strengthened clinical and laboratory surveillance. Here, we present an observational, analytic, cross-sectional study conducted using secondary data from the Laboratório de Farmacogenômica e Epidemiologia Molecular (LAFEM)-Universidade Estadual de Santa Cruz (UESC), to evaluate individual and community factors associated to SARS-CoV-2 infection in outpatients from different cities from Southern Region of Bahia State, in Brazil. The data were collected between June 2021 and May 2022. The SARS-CoV-2 positivity by RT-qPCR was correlated with low socio-economic indicators, including the Human development index (HDIc) and Average worker salary (AWSc). Besides, in general, females were less likely to test positive for SARS-CoV-2 (OR = 0.752; CI 95% 0.663-0.853; p < 0.0001), while brown individuals had more positivity for infection (p < 0.0001). In addition, those who had clinical symptoms were more likely to test positive for SARS-CoV-2 (OR = 6.000; CI 95% 4.932-7.299; p < 0.0001). Although dry cough, headache, and fever were the most frequent, loss of taste (OR = 5.574; CI 95% 4.334-7.186) and loss of smell (OR = 6.327; CI 95% 4.899-8.144) presented higher odds ratio to be positive to SARS-CoV-2 by RT-qPCR. Nonetheless, the distribution of these characteristics was not homogenous among the different cities, especially for age and gender. The dynamic of SARS-CoV-2 positivity differed between cities and the total population and reinforces the hypothesis that control strategies for prevention needed to be developed based on both individual and community risk levels to mitigate harm to individuals and the health system.

Factor Affecting Job Satisfaction In Community Pharmacists: A Review

Job satisfaction is an employee's emotional reaction to responsibilities at work. it is necessary to pay attention to pharmacists' job satisfaction, because their work is related to patient safety. The aim of this review is to find out what factors influence the job satisfaction of community pharmacists. The review was conducted in December 2022 by searching articles on three search engines namely PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar by taking articles published between 2012 and 2022. The keywords "Job Satisfaction" and "Community Pharmacist" were used to search for articles and 360 articles were obtained. In this review, only 8 articles met all the inclusion criteria. Inclusion criteria included cross-sectional studies, publication in English, published between 2012 and 2022, and research topics on job satisfaction of community pharmacists. The findings showed that there are many factors that can affecting job satisfaction, namely demoghraphy, intrinsic, and extrinsic factors. Of these three factors, there are four most commonly encountered facets that influence community pharmacists' job satisfaction, namely work environment, salary, knowledge and years in practice. The level of overall job satisfaction for community pharmacists is different in each country depending on the regulations. Because job satisfaction is something that can change over time, future research should include other factors that can affect job satisfaction.

The Influence of Knowledge Worker Salary Satisfaction on Employee Job Performance

Knowledge workers are quite crucial to every enterprise, so exploring the relationship between their salary satisfaction and job performance is significant. Hence, this work observes their salary satisfaction by identifying the employees' emotions at the time of salary announcement. The relationship between salary satisfaction and job performance is studied through the obtained satisfaction. First, the convolutional neural network (CNN) model is introduced. Then, it is optimized by adding an attention mechanism to improve the accuracy of the emotion recognition model. Finally, through comparative experiments, the effectiveness of the model proposed and the impact of employee's salary satisfaction on job performance are verified. The experimental results show that the recognition accuracy of the model is much higher than that of the traditional model. In particular, the recognition accuracy of neutral emotions is as high as 95%. It verifies the effectiveness of the model.

A Study on the Early Career Patterns of Wage &amp; Salary Workers with Vocational High School Graduates

이 연구는 직업계고를 졸업한 임금근로자(이하 직업계고졸 임금근로자)의 노동시장 진입 후 초기 경력경로를 유형화함으로써 직업계고 졸업자의 다양한 경력이동 양상을 탐색하기 위해 수행되었다. 이 연구에서는 한국교육고용패널(KEEP) 1차 및 2차 웨이브 자료를 활용하여 2005년 졸업자와 2018년 졸업자의 경력경로를 각각 분석했으며, 각 표본의 임금 변화, 직종 이동, 일자리 이동에 대한 집단중심다중추세 분석을 실시하여 유형을 구분했다. 연구 결과, 2005년 직업계고졸 임금근로자의 초기 경력경로 유형은 첫 일자리 유지형, 직무 변화형, 지속적 이동형, 이직 후 유지형 등 4개 유형으로 구분되었으며, 2018년 직업계고졸 임금근로자의 경우 저임금 일자리 이동형, 첫 일자리 유지형, 직무 이동형 등 3가지 유형이 도출되었다. 이러한 초기 경력경로 유형은 시기와 상관없이 고용 안정성의 높고 낮음에 따라 구분되는 경향을 보였으며, 과거와 최근 모두 초기 경력단계에서 첫 일자리를 유지하는 유형이 주요 유형 중 하나로 나타났다는 점에서 선취업 후학습 등 고졸 취업 활성화 정책이 어느 정도의 성과가 있었음을 보여 준다. 다만 경력이동을 경험하는 직업계고졸 임금근로자의 노동시장 내 안정성은 과거보다 양극화가 심해진 경향이 나타나기도 했다. 이 연구에서는 이러한 결과를 토대로 후속 연구와 직업계고 졸업자의 경력개발 지원을 위한 제언을 제시했다.This study aimed to explore various aspects of the career movement of vocational high school graduates by categorizing their early career paths after entering the labor market. To this end, we analyzed the career patterns of 2005 and 2018 graduates using the Korea Education and Employment Panel(KEEP) 's first and second-wave data with group-based multi-trajectory modeling. We found the initial career path of 2005 graduates to be four patterns: ‘first job retention type,’ ‘job change type,’ ‘continuous mobility type,’ and ‘retention type after a job change.’ For 2018 graduates, we derived three initial career patterns: ‘low-wage job mobility type,’ ‘first job retention type,’ and ‘job mobility type.’ These early career patterns tended to be classified according to high and low levels of employment stability, regardless of the period. The results show that the policy to promote high school graduate employment has had some success. However, the stability in the labor market of wage & salary workers with vocational high school graduates experiencing career mobility tends to be more polarized than in the past. Based on these results, we presented suggestions for follow-up research and career development support for vocational high school graduates.

Choosing Money Over Meaningful Work: Examining Relative Job Preferences for High Compensation Versus Meaningful Work.

People sometimes must choose between prioritizing meaningful work or high compensation. Eight studies (N = 4,177; 7 preregistered) examined the relative importance of meaningful work and salary in evaluations of actual and hypothetical jobs. Although meaningful work and high salaries are both perceived as highly important job attributes when evaluated independently, when presented with tradeoffs between these job attributes, participants consistently preferred high-salary jobs with low meaningfulness over low-salary jobs with high meaningfulness (Studies 1-5). Forecasts of happiness and meaning outside of work helped explain condition differences in job interest (Studies 4 and 5). Extending the investigation toward actual jobs, Studies 6a and 6b showed that people express stronger preferences for higher pay (vs. more meaningful work) in their current jobs. Although meaningful work is a strongly valued job attribute, it may be less influential than salary to evaluations of hypothetical and current jobs.

Tác động của mức độ gắn kết đến hiệu suất làm việc và lòng trung thành của nhân viên nhân sự các doanh nghiệp nhỏ và vừa tại TP.HCM

In this article, we investigate how engagement affects the work performance and loyalty of employees in the HR departments of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) located in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). To gather data, the authors conducted a survey with 344 individuals working in HR departments at SMEs in HCMC. Using the PLS-SEM model and SmartPLS tool, we conducted a quantitative analysis and found that employee engagement has a positive impact on both work performance and employee loyalty. Furthermore, the results suggest that the working environment, training and development programs, and salary and welfare policies also have a positive impact on employee engagement. According to research, employees tend to become more loyal and productive when they remain with their organization. Out of these variables, the work environment and salary and benefits have the strongest influence on employee loyalty and performance, while training and development have a critical role to play in the long run.
