Abstract:

Evaluations hold the potential to support decision-making so that current global challenges related to climate and energy can be addressed; however, as the challenges are becoming increasingly large and complex, new and transformative evaluation approaches are called for. Such transformative evaluation in turn builds on an extended and more deliberate use of evaluations. This study focuses on the current evaluation use practices among Swedish state agencies who are commissioning and/or conducting evaluations within climate and energy-related areas.

Abstract:

In the last 20 years, approaches (i.e. concepts, theories, methods) from the systems fields have increased in popularity among evaluators and evaluation commissioners. Their popularity stems in part from a widespread view that systems approaches transform evaluation practice, despite a lack of evidence. There have been few empirical examinations of the implications of these approaches for evaluation practice. This study analyzed eight cases of seasoned evaluators using systems approaches in diverse areas of evaluation practice to identify implications for how these professionals practice evalu

Energy efficient buildings are viewed as one of the solutions to reduce carbon emissions from the built environment. However, studies worldwide indicate that there is a significant gap between building energy targets (as-designed) and the actual measured building energy consumption (as-built). Several underlying causes for the energy performance gap have been identified at all stages of the building life cycle. Focus is generally on the post-occupancy stage of the building life cycle. However, issues relating to the construction and commissioning stages of the building are a major concern, tho

Abstract:

ABSTRACTExternal referee letters can, in principle, provide essential inputs for tenure and promotion decisions. But scholars’ reluctance to prepare critical, not to speak of “negative” assessments has led to a skewed self-selection: Potential referees tend to accept the task only if they see a tenure or promotion case as worthy of support. The resulting overabundance of praise has devalued the content of referee reports; they are difficult to interpret and of limited use for distinguishing deserving from undeserving candidates.

The aim of this systematic review was to assess evidence of the impact of commissioning on health service use, quality, outcomes and value for money and to consider findings in the Australian context. Systematic searches of the literature identified 444 papers and, after exclusions, 36 were subject to full review. The commissioning cycle (planning, contracting, monitoring) formed a framework for analysis and impacts were assessed at individual, subpopulation and population levels. Little evidence of the effectiveness of commissioning at any level was available and observed impacts were highly

Abstract:

Rationale, aims and objectives: Patient involvement in healthcare decision-making is often limited to consultation. Co-production is an approach that empowers patients to work collaboratively with providers as agents of change. The objective of this study was to explore participants’ experiences and satisfaction with a co-production process, Working Together for Change (WTfC), used to inform the commissioning of services for people living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Method: Mixed methods developmental service evaluation drawing primarily on qualitative data from semi-str

The objective of this paper is to examine possible organizational reasons for why UK NHS commissioners have not adopted programme budgeting and marginal analysis (PBMA). This is despite increasing evidence of discontent with current commissioning and priority-setting processes, increasing research evidence demonstrating the potential of PBMA and support for the principles of PBMA. Two separate semistructured surveys of the views of commissioning decision-makers on the use of PBMA were carried out at Grampian Health Board and Newcastle & North Tyneside Health Authority.

The aim of the contribution is to create an event-controlled simulation of an automated production system using selected simulation software according to analyses and creation PLC control program compatible with human-machine control interface (HMI) visualization. The programmer can test the control program without the need for additional hardware on a virtual model of the machine. This method is called as a Virtual Commissioning method. The question is whether these new digital technologies are beneficial in the development process of new machines. The theoretical part of the contribution dea

Abstract:

Introduction Hemophilia is an inherited disorder that causes a deficiency of a blood clotting factor resulting in a lifelong bleeding diathesis. People with hemophilia (PWH) may experience significant morbidity including potentially life-threatening hemorrhages and accumulation of joint damage and require burdensome and costly chronic treatment with factor replacement therapies. Gene therapies aimed at providing endogenous production of the missing clotting factor have the potential to yield significant health benefits for PWH. Economic evaluation is an important component for the commissionin

Abstract:

Abstract Deformable image registration (DIR) has recently become commercially available in the field of radiotherapy. However, there was no detailed information regarding the use of DIR software at each medical institution. Thus, in this study, we surveyed the status of the clinical use of DIR software for radiotherapy in Japan. The Japan Society of Medical Physics and the Japanese Society for Radiation Oncology mailing lists were used to announce this survey. The questionnaire was created by investigators working under the research grant of the Japanese Society for Radiation Oncology (2017–20
