In this study, exergy and economic analysis were conducted to gain insight on small-scale movable LNG liquefaction considering leakage. Optimization and comparison were performed to demonstrate the quantitative results of single mixed refrigerant, dual nitrogen expansion, and the propane pre-cooling self-refrigeration processes. For the optimization, exergy efficiency was used as the objective function; the results showed that exergy efficiencies are 38.85%, 19.96%, and 13.65%, for single mixed refrigerant, dual nitrogen expansion, and propane pre-cooling self-refrigeration, respectively. Further, the cost analysis showed that the product cost of each process is 4002.3 USD/tpa, 5490.2 USD/tpa, and 9608.5 USD/tpa. A sensitivity analysis was conducted to determine parameters that affect exergy and cost. The SMR process is the most competitive in terms of exergy efficiency, product cost, and operability, without considering makeup facilities.

Pediatric residency programs that stress primary care education are attempting to develop ongoing model practice experiences for their house officers. This paper describes such a model practice and outlines the expenses and revenues involved. In the initial 12 months of operation, revenues have offset 64% of total program costs. Our methods of balancing financial and educational goals are discussed. Program directors are urged to make cost analysis an important part of the evaluation of innovative primary care programs.

The article proposes to consider the theoretical and methodological foundations of accounting and analysis of equipment overhaul costs. The study of the literature showed that it is necessary to develop recommendations for improving accounting and analysis in real situations at the enterprise. For equipment that needs repair abroad, the authors suggest not to sell it as non-working (scrap metal), but to export and repair it abroad. The procedure for accounting for equipment repair costs abroad is proposed. To improve the analysis of equipment overhaul costs, the authors proposed an algorithm for equipment overhaul cost analysis, which will provide a balanced and reasonable cost estimate. To obtain relevant information for this analysis, the authors have formed requirements for sources of information for financial and economic analysis of non-current assets. The developed proposals will allow companies to improve accounting and analysis of equipment overhaul costs, which in turn will lead to cost savings and strengthen the company's competitive position.

The growing impact of regulations on the economy has led both Congress and the Administration to search for new ways of reforming the regulatory process. Many of these initiatives call for greater reliance on the use of economic analysis in the development and evaluation of regulations. One specific approach being advocated is benefit-cost analysis, an economic tool for comparing the desirable and undesirable impacts of proposed policies.

This paper has studied the different dosage of cement mixed with different proportions of gravel. Through the compaction and unconfined compressive strength test and economic analysis, and finally determined that the gravel mixed with content is 30% and the cement dosage is 3%. The study also shows that by adding a certain amount of gravel instead of powder is feasible. The same cement doses adding macadam mixture, unconfined compressive strength is higher than stable powder. The study has solved the shortage of raw materials of construction, saving a lot of money, and has important engineering significance. Keywords: cement stable powder; crushed stone; unconfined compressive strength; cost analysis;

Introduction. The economic aspects of providing cancer care to the public attract increasing attention of scientists, economists, physicians and other healthcare professionals. Currently, the healthcare economics of oncological institutions is defined as part of the national economy that implements cancer care programs and provide a wide range of medical and pharmaceutical services to the public.Aim. The study was conducted as part of the program for improvement of financial spending in order to facilitate cancer care for Moscow residents. The aim of this study was to identify the crucial areas of the cost analysis and thus improve the public health service.Materials and methods. We used the methodology of targeted and consistent search of the literature. The data search and analysis was carried out using the US National Medical Library (PubMed database), National Electronic Library (e-LIBRARY, Russia), and other Internet resources. Whenever possible, articles on the most common and socially significant types of cancer (breast, colon, prostate, lung etc.) were selected. In addition, we focused on significant studies conducted either on the national or international level.Results and discussion. In principle, the structure of total costs is determined by the health policy regarding the cancer care system. Six main areas of oncological care that require careful economic analysis have been identified: those are prevention, oncoscreening, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and palliative care. In order to implement the economic goals of the healthcare system, the cost of cancer treatment should be discussed. The relevant programs are expected to be based on 1) prevalence and incidence; 2) impact on health; 3) results of the integrative methodological approach to cancer treatment; 4) implementation of comprehensive measures of medical and social assistance; 5) use of financial mechanisms and their impact on economic indicators.Conclusion. The set of measures related to the direct costs as identified in this study include the development, planning and provision of cancer care. These specific features of the direct cost analysis are important for organizing medical care in oncological institutions.
