Performance-based grants for reproductive health in the Philippines

چکیده
Introduction Over the past decade, performance-based grants (PBGs) have emerged as a new set of interventions in which specific actions are requested, received and paid for. They reward results with payment, aiming principally to resolve issues of access, utilization and provider performance (Meesen et al., 2006; Canavan, Toonen & Elovainio 2008). Defined here as “the provision of incentives to improve predetermined performance actions or targets”, PBGs seek to change the behaviour − of individuals, of centres and clinics, and of the system itself (Jack, 2003; Eichler 2006; Meesen et al., 2006; Oxman & Fretheim, 2008).1

This paper adopts a modified approach of data envelopment analysis (DEA) to measure the academic efficiency of university departments. In real-world case studies, conventional DEA models often identify too many decision-making units (DMUs) as efficient. This occurs when the number of DMUs under evaluation is not large enough compared to the total number of decision variables. To overcome this l...

متن کاملCuckoo search via Lévy flights for the capacitated vehicle routing problem
For this paper, we explored the implementation of the cuckoo search algorithm applied to the capacitated vehicle routing problem. The cuckoo search algorithm was implemented with Lévy flights with the 2-opt and double-bridge operations, and with 500 iterations for each run. The algorithm was tested on the problem instances from the Augerat benchmark dataset. The algorithm did not perform well o...
متن کاملEvaluation of salinity tolerance in rice genotypes
Salinity is considered as one of important physical factors influencing rice (Oryza sativa L.) production. Knowledge of salinity effects on rice seedling growth and yieldcomponents would improve management practices in fields andincrease our understanding of salt tolerance mechanisms in rice. This study was designed to assess the role of Saltol QTL in regards to effects of salinity on plant gro...
