Analysis of Disposal of Public Property without Tender Procedure on the Example of the Municipality of Krakow

The aim of this study is to analyze the procedure for the disposal of public property without tender on the example of the Municipality of Krakow, with respect to the scope, purpose, conditions of disposal and generated income, in the period of 2012–2014. The vast majority of plots of land (over 220) were disposed of in order to improve the land use conditions of an adjacent plot, subject to ownership rights or to perpetual usufruct of a person who intended to purchase this property. The mode of disposal without tender procedures is also widely used for those who are entitled to the priority right in the acquisition of public property. This category includes, for example, residential tenants who, during the analyzed period, purchased about 2.8 thousand dwellings, in most cases with a 90-percent discount. The article points out the problems which occur over the course of preparing documentation necessary for the transaction, in particular those concerning incorrect geodetic and legal status of the real property. The author discussed selected case law on this subject and proposed methods of solving these problems.

Human papillomavirus transmission and cost-effectiveness of introducing quadrivalent HPV vaccination in Denmark

Objectives: The objective of this study was to simulate human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in a heterosexual population and subsequently analyze the incremental costs and effects of introducing a vaccination program against HPV types 6, 11, 16, and 18 in Denmark compared with screening alone.Methods: The analysis was performed in two phases. First, an agent-based transmission model was developed that described the HPV transmission without and with HPV vaccination. Second, an analysis of the incremental costs and effects was performed. The results of prevalence estimates of HPV, genital warts, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN1–3), and cervical cancer in the model simulations before and after introduction of HPV vaccination were extrapolated to the Danish population figures. Incremental costs and effects were then estimated. Future costs and effects were discounted.Results: Cost-effectiveness ratios for annual vaccination of 12-year-old girls, with a vaccination rate of 70 percent without a catch-up program, were estimated at approximately €1,917 per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY, 3 percent discount rate) and €10,846/QALY (5 percent discount rate), given a 62-year time horizon.Conclusions: A vaccination program would incur extra vaccination costs but would save treatment costs and improve both quality of life and survival.
