Step tariff of electricity as an important technique in the electric power demand side management, can smooth the load curve, and can also realize the rational allocation of resources. In view of the scheme designing step tariff of electricity price, at the same time considering residents' per capita income and the average household electricity consumption, using AHP, research steps user cost of electricity pricing schemes. And on the basis of the step tariff of electricity implementation project of Hubei province data, combined with the local consumption were analyzed, and for the further development of step tariff and the price offer certain reference basis in the future.

Significance Coronavirus policy has been hampered by intense infighting in Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s coalition government, undermining public support for him. The country is still seeing around 2,000 new cases daily, but the virus reproduction rate has fallen to an estimated 0.63. Impacts Even with a phased exit, the second lockdown will boost unemployment and may cause many small and medium-sized businesses to fail. Until a vaccine is available, further lockdowns and related measures are likely to be necessary. Deteriorating public trust, especially among the ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) minority, threatens the effectiveness of future measures. The lack of a permanent police commissioner means deputies will tread cautiously with Netanyahu’s government over lockdown enforcement.

Background and aims: Public health policies and programs should be adapted to the level of public trust in the healthcare system, as an indicator of the public support level. Accordingly, the data about public trust level in the healthcare system is considered as a critical requirement for managing public health crises. This study aimed to rapidly assess the public trust in the healthcare system during the COVID-19 epidemic in Iran, as well as to evaluate the effect of socioeconomic status (SES) on this trust. Methods: This cross-sectional and web-based study which was conducted in Iran during the COVID-19 epidemic included adults aged 18-60 years. A probability proportional to size multistage random sampling was applied and performed in 15 provinces of the country. Data on the main sources of information about COVID-19, trust in healthcare system, fear level of COVID-19, and demographics were collected via an electronic questionnaire. Multiple linear regression was applied, and adjusted regression coefficients and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated. Results: A total of 5250 adults (response rate: 76%) were included in the study. The mean of reported trust scores was 50.3±22.8, and that of fear scores was 72.0±17.8. The highest (65%) and lowest (28%) levels of trust were observed among participants from the lowest and highest SES, respectively. Gender (male) (P=0.006), higher levels of education (P<0.001), higher socio-economic status (P<0.001), and higher fear scores (P<0.001) were independently correlated with the lower level of ⦰ trust in healthcare system. Conclusion: It was found that the public trust in Iran’s healthcare system was not high enough at the time of the COVID-19 epidemic in the country, especially among higher social class population.
