The adoptions of agricultural technologies were highly influenced by socio-economic factors, institutional, location factors as well as agro-ecological factors and the characteristics of the farmers were those factors affecting the adoption and intensity of agricultural new technologies. Also the review was focused on the probability of adoption of crop, feed improvement technologies and artificial insemination. The other objective of the review was the impact of the technology adoption on the small holder farmers’ welfare.","PeriodicalId":213187,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Health Economics and Policy","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132959161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the widespread use of automated medicine dispensing systems in major Chinese hospitals, their application value has been increasingly confirmed. However, relative to other countries, automation of China’s pharmacies was relatively delayed, and the use of imported automated equipment in domestic hospital pharmacies dealing with an enormous prescription burden poses substantial challenges in maintaining high automation efficiency when the hospital patient flow is at its peak. Objective to optimize the medicine storage system of automatic medicine dispensers and to improve the automation efficiency of pharmacies using the entry-item-quantity (EIQ)-ABC analysis method and a track utilization rate algorithm. Methods A total of 76,069 prescriptions from the CONSIS automated medicine dispensing system of medicine dispensing system of our hospital’s outpatient pharmacy were selected in June 2020, and the EIQ-ABC analysis method was used to perform associative classification of the dispensing volume and frequency of each medicine. The varieties of medicines in the automatic dispenser were adjusted according to the classification results, and then, the storage space of medicines was optimized using a track utilization rate algorithm. The performance of this method was evaluated by comparing the automatic rate of the dispensing volume, and the real-time window dispensing rate and prescription ratio before and after optimization. Results After the implementation of the EIQ-ABC analysis method and track utilization rate algorithm, the average automation rate of dispensing volume, real-time window average dispensing rate, and real-time window average prescription ratio increased by 2.46%, 4.4%, and 4.87%, respectively, which were significantly higher than those before implementation (P < 0.05). Conclusion Using the EIQ-ABC analysis method and the track utilization algorithm to optimize the varieties and storage space of medicines in an automatic medicine dispenser can fully utilize storage space, reduce instances of lack of medicine in the dispenser, and improve the fully automatic dispensing rate.","PeriodicalId":213187,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Health Economics and Policy","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126920045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mizanur Rahman Sarker, Nazneen Islam Nishat, Mosammod Mahamuda Parvin, Anika Nawar Fagun","doi":"10.11648/j.hep.20210603.13","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.11648/j.hep.20210603.13","url":null,"abstract":": Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated countries of the world (1278 persons per sq. km.) but it represents one of the few countries in developing world where the pace of fertility decline has been unparalleled over the last few decades despite pervasive poverty and under-development. It has been passing through a critical phase of fertility transition. The data was collected for this research from the following five sources: i. Bangladesh Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) 2012-13 for fertility rate, contraceptive use, proportion of children engaged in work and access to mass media and ICT of women. ii. Statistical Yearbook of Bangladesh for literacy rate, iii. Population Census 2011 for population density characteristics of different districts, iv. Directorate of Agricultural Extension personnel for daily average wage rate of agricultural labor and v. Bangladesh Poverty Map, 2014 for the level of poverty of different districts. This study contributes to basic knowledge of the structural determinants of fertility rate in the Bangladesh by analyzing the expanded set of determinants at district level, namely contraceptive use, literacy rate, daily wage rate of agricultural labor, population density, child labor, access to mass media and ICT of women and poverty level using spatial data analysis techniques. In this study, the binary join matrix/binary contiguity matrix and inverse distance spatial weight matrix techniques are used to capture spatial dependence in the data. This analysis extends the spatial model by allowing spatial dependence to vary across divisions and regions. The results strongly indicate that the fertility associated with contraceptive use, literacy rate, daily wage rate of agricultural labor, child labor, poverty level and their neighbors’ districts. These results suggest that district should pay particular attention to policies in neighboring districts and policy maker should realize that declining the fertility rate in neighboring districts are likely to affect fertility rate in their own district, therefore, a key issue for policy development is how to stimulate the contraceptive use, educational attainment, promote daily wage of agricultural labor and decrease child labor and poverty level could control the fertility and result in sustainable development and poverty alleviation of regions that are both high fertility and economically lagging. This needs to be addressed both in terms of national level policies and more emphatically within regional and sub-regional development strategies than it has been hither.","PeriodicalId":213187,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Health Economics and Policy","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128879255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
