Teams,Teamwork and Absence*

We argue that firms with interdependent worker productivity, team production, have a higher cost of absence and, as a consequence, spend additional resources on monitoring absence. As a result, firms with team production should have lower absence rates. We estimate the determinants of absence for blue‐collar workers using a sample of German manufacturing establishments. Workplace teams are used as a proxy for team production. The estimates reveal that firms with teams have lower absence rates, as do smaller establishments. The size effect, however, is unique to establishments with teams, which fits prior theoretical work that has not been previously tested.     

联合国对住房权实现的指标化评估与监控框架

对于一项权利而言,其实现与保障是最为核心和根本的问题。作为一种基本人权的公民住房权,目前在世界各国、尤其是发展中国家面临严峻的挑战。但由于缺乏统一的方法和解决路径,我们无法深入地揭示人类住房权实现与保障中存在的关键性困境和障碍,也就无法有效地推动住房权实现进程。联合国人居署在内罗毕会议上制定了一套具有重要参考价值的住房权指标体系,包含住房适足性指标、强制驱逐指标、露宿指标、平等性指标、法律保障指标、国际融入指标等,为建立普遍适用的住房权评估与监控机制提供了重要的基础框架。该框架还有许多亟待补充和完善之处,但其为推动人类住房权的实现与保障提供了极具价值的计量方法,开启了人类住房权事业的新纪元。

政府投资项目代建制的财政和财务管理工作探讨

代建制作为一种新的建设模式,克服了“投、建、管、用”四位一体的政府投资工程管理模式所带来的非专业化、低效率、低质量等弊端,通过专业化、集中化和市场化的管理,实现投资控制,保证质量和工期。但代建制是有相应的配套制度作保障的,如果制度不配套,依然会存在风险。在新的政府协调干预机制下———建筑工务局的成立,探讨如何搞好代建制的财政财务管理工作。     

基于SMS霓虹灯的监控系统

鉴于GSM/SMS网络的技术已比较成熟,又有开发方便、费用低廉、可靠性高、覆盖范围较广等诸多优点,本文研究了通过监测霓虹灯工作电流参数,利用GSM/SMS短信息服务,实现对霓虹灯远程报警和控制操作。该系统以AT89S52单片机为核心,使用MAX274、MAX125和TC35来构成整个系统。文章详细阐述了系统的结构、工作原理、软件设计和研制体会。该系统经实践验证,实时性强、可靠性高。     

关于重大工程编制移民安置规划并建立监测制度的思考

在移民安置量较大的建设工程准备阶段和实施阶段,可以考虑参照工程建设审批程序和实施过程中的质量监理制度,建立规范的移民安置规划审批制度和移民安置监测制度.移民安置规划制度从程序和内容对移民安置准备工作提出具体要求.对移民安置的实施要引入独立的外部监测机构,对安置工作进行监测评估.

工程建设施工现场中3G视频监控系统的研究与实现

随着建筑行业的飞速发展,施工现场的安全问题一直是工地管理工作的重中之重。网络技术的发展,使得视频监控系统运用到各行各业中。通过运用远程视频监控技术,实时对分布在各地的多个施工现场进行监管,既减轻了管理人员的工作量,又加强了建设行政主管部门以及施工和安全质量监督管理部门的监管力度。安全管理是建筑工地的重要管理环节,考虑到工地实际需求,本文针对传统视频监控系统实时性差、传输效率低、图像质量不稳定等缺点,对基于3G网络的工程建设施工现场远程视频监控系统进行研究和实现。文中介绍了3G网络的无线视频技术的优势及远程视频监控系统的功能特点,对施工现场3G远程视频监控系统的方案进行研究设计,并在某施工单位几个重点施工现场进行了试点安装,达到了预期效果,实现对施工现场实时监控。     

Long-term health economic benefits of sensor-augmented pump therapy vs continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion alone in type 1 diabetes: a UK perspective

Aims/hypothesis:

Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) is an important treatment option for type 1 diabetes patients unable to achieve adequate glycemic control with multiple daily injections (MDI). Combining CSII with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in sensor-augmented pump therapy (SAP) with a low glucose-suspend (LGS) feature may further improve glycemic control and reduce the frequency of hypoglycemia. A cost-effectiveness analysis of SAP?+?LGS vs CSII plus self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) was performed to determine the health economic benefits of SAP?+?LGS in type 1 diabetes patients using CSII in the UK.

Methods:

Cost-effectiveness analysis was performed using the CORE diabetes model. Treatment effects were sourced from the literature, where SAP?+?LGS was associated with a projected HbA_1c reduction of ?1.49% vs ?0.62% for CSII, and a reduced frequency of severe hypoglycemia. The time horizon was that of patient lifetimes; future costs and clinical outcomes were discounted at 3.5% and 1.5% per annum, respectively.

Results:

Projected outcomes showed that SAP?+?LGS was associated with higher mean quality-adjusted life expectancy (17.9 vs 14.9 quality-adjusted life years [QALYs], SAP?+?LGS vs CSII), and higher life expectancy (23.8 vs 21.9 years), but higher mean lifetime direct costs (GBP 125,559 vs GBP 88,991), leading to an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of GBP 12,233 per QALY gained for SAP?+?LGS vs CSII. Findings of the base-case analysis remained robust in sensitivity analyses.

Conclusions/interpretation:

For UK-based type 1 diabetes patients with poor glycemic control, the use of SAP?+?LGS is likely to be cost-effective compared with CSII plus SMBG.
