  • cost effectiveness of family planning and maternal health Service delivery strategies in rural bangladesh
    International Journal of Health Planning and Management, 1999
    Co-Authors: Ann Levin, Ahsanul Amin, Anisur Rahman, Rumana Saifi, Barkate Khuda, Khorshed A Mozumder
    Abstract:

    Two alternative Service delivery strategies to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the Bangladesh National Family Planning and Maternal and Child Health Programme have been tested: 1) Service delivery at Cluster spots a centrally located neighborhood spot rather than at the clients home and 2) increased frequency of outreach clinics merged with immunization spots. The cost-effectiveness of these strategies was compared with baseline estimates of the cost of providing Services. The data were collected in two rural sites of Bangladesh Mirsarai Thana of Chittagong and Abhoynagar Thana of Jessore in August 1996. The results of this analysis indicate that Cluster Service delivery of contraceptive Services in their present form is not more cost-effective than home delivery Services. The cost per birth averted was lower in only one out of three Services in each of the field sites. When the cost-effectiveness of increasing the frequency of satellite clinics combined with Expanded Program on Immunization Services was examined the Service delivery was found to be more cost-effective for all Services in one thana and for two out of three Services in the higher performing thana Abhoynagar. This implies that the provision of a wider range of Services is improving overall cost-effectiveness. (authors)

  • a node selection paradigm for crowdsourcing Service based on region feature in crowd sensing
    Mathematical Problems in Engineering, 2018
    Co-Authors: Zhenlong Peng, Xiaolin Gui, Dong Liao, Ningchao Cai, Ruowei Gui
    Abstract:

    Crowd sensing is a human-centered sensing model. Through the cooperation of multiple nodes, an entire sensing task is completed. To improve the efficiency of sensing missions, a cost-effective set of Service nodes, which is easy to fit in performing different tasks, is needed. In this paper, we propose a low-cost Service node selection method based on region features, which builds on the relationship between task requirements and geographical locations. The method uses Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) algorithm to Cluster Service nodes and calculate the center point of each Cluster. The area then is divided into regions according to rules of Voronoi diagrams. Local feature vectors are constructed according to the historical records in each divided region. When a particular sensing task arrives, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to match the feature vector of each region to mission requirements to get a certain number of Service nodes satisfying the characteristics. To get a lower cost output, a revised Greedy Algorithm is designed to filter the exported Service nodes to get the required low-cost Service nodes. Experimental results suggest that the proposed method shows promise in improving Service node selection accuracy and the timeliness of finishing tasks.

    Abstract:

    Crowdsensing is a human-centred perception model. Through the cooperation of multiple nodes, an entire sensing task is completed. To improve the efficiency of accomplishing sensing missions, a proper and cost-effective set of Service nodes is needed to perform tasks. In this paper, we propose a low-cost Service node selection method based on region features, which builds on relationships between task requirements and geographical locations. The method uses DBSCAN to Cluster Service nodes and calculate the centre point of each Cluster. The region then is divided into regions according to rules of Voronoi diagram.
