ABSTRACT

The incidence of cancer has been constantly growing worldwide, placing pressure on health systems and increasing the costs associated with the treatment of cancer. In particular, low- and middle-income countries are expected to face serious challenges related to caring for the majority of the world's new cancer cases in the next 10 years. In this study, we propose a mathematical model that allows for the simulation of different strategies focused on public policies by combining spending and epidemiological indicators. In this way, strategies aimed at efficient spending management with better epidemiological indicators can be determined. For validation and calibration of the model, we use data from Colombia-which, according to the World Bank, is an upper-middle-income country. The results of the simulations using the proposed model, calibrated and validated for Colombia, indicate that the most effective strategy for reducing mortality and financial burden consists of a combination of early detection and greater efficiency of treatment in the early stages of cancer. This approach is found to present a 38% reduction in mortality rate and a 20% reduction in costs (% GDP) when compared to the baseline scenario. Hence, Colombia should prioritize comprehensive care models that focus on patient-centered care, prevention, and early detection.

ABSTRACT

Brazilian fish farms presented an accelerated development during the early 90's, mainly because of the increase in fee-fishing operations. To meet the demand of this market, fish production and supply became excessive and, as a consequence, the number of fee-fishing operations, farmers and the final selling price, decreased. This study analyzes the technical aspects, production cost, profitability and economic viability of the production of piauçu (L. macrocephalus) in ponds, based on information from a rural property. Feeding and fingerling costs amount to approximately 47.1% of the total production cost, representing together with the final selling price the most important factor affecting profitability. The payback period was 8.3 years, the liquid present value US$ 291.07, the internal return margin 9%, and the income-outcome ratio was 1.01, which represents an unattractive investment as a projection based on current conditions. The improvement in productive efficiency enhances the economic valuation index, and that the relative magnitude of cost and income are the most important points for the economic viability of the studied farm.


A piscicultura brasileira apresentou um acelerado desenvolvimento nos anos 90, principalmente impulsionada pelo aumento de estabelecimentos pesqueiros conhecidos como "pesque-pagues". Entretanto, o aumento do número de criadores de alevinos e a redução de pesqueiros resultou em um aumento na oferta de peixes e, conseqüente, diminuição do preço de comercialização. O presente estudo analisa os parâmetros zootécnicos, os custos de produção, a rentabilidade e a viabilidade econômica da engorda de piauçu (L. macrocephalus) em tanques escavados. Os custos com insumos somam 47,1% do custo total de produção, representando juntamente com o preço de venda do pescado, o fator decisivo na rentabilidade da atividade. O período de recuperação do capital foi de 8,3 anos, valor presente líquido de US$ 291,07, taxa interna de retorno de 9% e relação benefício-custo de 1,01. Como projeto, nas condições atuais, trata-se de um investimento de baixa atratividade. O aumento da eficiência produtiva melhorou os índices de avaliação econômica e o acompanhamento dos custos e receitas é ponto fundamental para a viabilidade econômica da propriedade estudada.
