Balanced Scorecard Sebagai Model Terintegrasi Yang Diterapkan Pada Sektor Publik Di Indonesia Studi Kasus: Kementerian Kelautan Dan Perikanan RI

Istilah 'pemerintah' tidak merujuk pada satu organisasi, pemerintah di tingkat mana pun biasanya merupakan kumpulan organisasi yang kompleks, memiliki hubungan yang kompleks dengan organisasi lain di dalam negara dan dengan pihak luar. Untuk dapat menjalankan fungsinya pemerintah harus memiliki tata kelola yang baik. Penerapan NPM dapat mendorong perbaikan pengelolaan sektor publik. Reformasi NPM sedang terjadi di semua negara-negara terlepas dari berbagai tahap perkembangan ekonomi dan politik mereka. Implementasi NPM di organisasi sektor publik pada dasarnya adalah untuk memperkenalkan konsep kinerja. Salah satu wujud implementasi pengukuran kinerja yang tercermin dalam penerapan NPM adalah aplikasi Balance Scorecard (BSC) di sektor publik. Tujuan dari makalah ini adalah untuk mengajukan perbaikan dan mengevaluasi model pengukuran kinerja menggunakan Balanced Scorecard (BSC) dengan menggunakan Four Process Managing Strategy yang dikemukakan oleh Kaplan & Norton (1996) yang diterapkan di Kementerian Kelautan dan Perikanan RI.

Differences and similarities between American and European myocardial revascularization guidelines

The development and update of clinical guidelines are based on an evaluation of the latest data from clinical studies. According to the National Academy of Medicine, clinical practice guidelines are ‘statements that include recommendations intended to optimize patient care that is informed by a systematic review of the evidence and an assessment of the benefits and harms of alternative care options’. These expert documents are intended to provide systematically developed statements that include recommendations on how to translate clinical knowledge from scientific evidence into best patient-centred, evidence-based practice. Supplementing the textbook, clinical guidelines are now being increasingly considered decision drivers, and are being used by healthcare providers to choose the most appropriate diagnostic or therapeutic managing strategy, standardize care, reduce variation, and improve outcomes. The core of each of the clinical practice guidelines are the recommendations developed according to an established scale of the hierarchy of evidence. Although randomized controlled trials are at the top of the pyramid of evidence as the preferred study design for assessing the effects of two or more interventions, in many instances, task force members must rely on findings from observational studies. This is particularly so as trial patients may not always be typical of routine clinical practice. Hence, valuable information can be obtained from both randomized controlled trials and observational studies, including subgroup analysis, cohorts, or case series; therefore, each type of scientific research can be a significant complement to the other and contribute to guideline developments.

Modern utilisation of organic waste

A lot of waste from agriculture, industry, household and food waste is accumulated every year in Lithuania. Waste is polluting environment very intensively. From sanitarian point of view there can appear dangerous sources for people and other biological objects. The main method for utilisation of waste still remains landfilling. So as a huge problem appears operation of landfills, cumulation of leachate and biogas. The last years Vilnius city municipality directly changed the waste managing strategy. As it was estimated, food waste forms about 46,6 -56,6 % from total household waste amount. It was decided to turn this source from landfill to composting facilities, organise separate food waste collection from companies and habitants. The system was iniciated in 1997, but it develops very slowly. A private company "Chitinas" has started its work independently in neighbouring Vilnius city district. Two main unordinal methods were used for destruction of organic waste, both very usual in nature, but still rarely used in practice by farmers. Such methods are called in Lithuania "nontraditional farming". We estimate these methods as modem and perspective for organic waste destruction in big cities. With their help we can get ecologically safe, good natural fertilizers, without seeds and infections, having less nitrates and fosphates. Besides, we get an alternative product - material called "chitin", which could be chemically purified and has a perfect future in chemistry and medicine.
