We investigate the effectiveness of these methods in conjunction with state-of-the-art embeddings based on Large Language Models (LLMs), particularly ADA from OpenAI, which is trained on a wide range of general-purpose texts. Utilizing a dataset from one of Brazil’s administrative courts, we ...
For example, LCCA will help determine whether the incorporation of a high-performance HVAC or glazing system, which may increase the initial cost but result in dramatically reduced operating and maintenance costs, is cost-effective or not.” However, LCCA is not useful when it comes to budget...

One of our selection criteria was that a study estimated the cost per unit of effect for each intervention under scrutiny. The most commonly used outcome variable was the number of infections prevented (27%), but measures such as the number of QALYs gained (12%) or the averted costs of (...
The threshold analyses identified the values of each parameter that would result in benefit-cost ratios less than 1 (Table 4). Increasing the intervention cost per child to US$1,566, decreasing the effect size of the intervention to 0.074, decreasing the gains in wages associated with cognitive...
An open-loop allocation procedure applies to open-loop product systems where the material is recycled into other product systems and the material undergoes a change to its inherent properties. Cradle-to-grave Addresses the environmental aspects and potential environmental impacts (e.g. use of...
1. Energy is one of the driving forces in socio-economic development (Olsson 1994). Sustainable development must be predicated on a sustainable energy system. To that end, nuclear energy is recogni...
While Diaskintest strategy was the most cost saving, the result was sensitive to variations in the probabilistic sensitivity analysis (Fig. 2). Considering all strategies simultaneously, the Monte Carlo simulations show that, at a willingness to pay threshold of US $7544 per QALY, the Diaskin...
After more than 25 years, public health programs have not been able to sufficiently reduce the number of new HIV infections. Over 7,000 people become infected with HIV every day. Lack of convincing evidence of cost-effectiveness (CE) may be one of the re
With a conservative estimate of using half of a 1-L sterile bottle for irrigation per endoscopy, 22 million yearly endoscopies in the US could result in an additional 6000 tons of eCO2.41,42 Based on the mortality cost of carbon—defined as the number of expected temperature-related excess...
