i want to deduce the right methodology to understand reform impact on compliance behaviors and tax collection.
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Abdul Rahim, if I understand, you want to measure the impact of reforms on either behavior and/or revenue impact.
If that is the case, I think the final target of the reform should be measured against the counterfactual. For instance, if the reform was on VAT, say e-invoicing in the whole tax system, I think the simplest method would be to gather total VAT payments maybe a year (depending on when you want to measure) and then compare with VAT payment before the reform, to check % increase.
Same with behaviour, for EG, how many people used to file returns before the last date on average, and how many used to default, after the reform was introduced. With such available data, i think it is easier to measure the impact of such reform on overall compliance. You can also plot on a timeline graph for better visualisation. Hope this helps.

Compliance costs are involved in the estimation of the marketing aspects of cattle milk.
Relevant answer
Answer
Here are some links
Calculating the compliance costs of cattle milk involves considering various factors related to regulatory requirements, production practices, and monitoring processes. Here's a step-by-step approach to help you calculate compliance costs for cattle milk:
  1. Identify applicable regulations: Start by determining the specific regulations that apply to cattle milk production in your region. These may include food safety regulations, quality standards, animal welfare requirements, environmental regulations, and labeling regulations, among others.
  2. Determine compliance activities: Understand the activities and measures necessary to meet the regulatory requirements. This could involve aspects such as testing, monitoring, record-keeping, staff training, infrastructure improvements, and implementing good agricultural practices (GAP) or good manufacturing practices (GMP).
  3. Assess resource requirements: Determine the resources needed for compliance activities. This includes labor, equipment, testing facilities, packaging materials, specialized training, and any additional costs associated with meeting the regulatory standards. Consider both initial investments and ongoing operational expenses.
  4. Estimate direct costs: Calculate the direct costs associated with compliance activities. This involves quantifying the expenses for resources identified in the previous step. For example, determine the cost of labor hours spent on compliance tasks, expenses for regular testing of milk samples, or investments in equipment upgrades.
  5. Consider indirect costs: Indirect costs may include expenses indirectly related to compliance but necessary for maintaining the required standards. This could involve costs related to documentation, quality control procedures, regulatory audits, and potential fines or penalties for non-compliance.
  6. Factor in opportunity costs: Compliance activities may require redirecting resources and efforts from other potential activities. Consider the opportunity costs associated with allocating resources specifically for compliance instead of other productive or growth-oriented activities.
  7. Calculate total compliance costs: Sum up the direct costs, indirect costs, and opportunity costs to determine the total compliance costs of cattle milk production. This will provide an estimate of the financial impact of meeting the regulatory requirements.
  8. Regularly review and update: Compliance costs may change over time due to evolving regulations or changes in production practices. It is important to regularly review and update your calculations to ensure accuracy and adapt to any new requirements.

From the tensile machine we can calculate de modulus from the displacement/gauge length from the machine (stroke) and use a non-contact video extensometer. The extensometer gives higher (and more precise) values comparing with the stroke. Now, the video extensometer is not working and i need to know the value of the modulus. How i can find the compliance of the machine to add in the modulus calculated by the stroke? I have some previous measurements both with machine and extensometer that are correct, can i take some value for the extensometer and add for the stroke and have a more realistic modulus? Which means i would need to add some value in the compliance of the stroke and find the new modulus. I just don't know how to do that. Can someone help me?
Relevant answer
Answer
You may solve this problem if you will test very stiff sample (for example, thick steel plate) fixed in grips. Thus, the value displacement of machine grip at given force allow you to calculate compliance of a your machine at tension.

You can read my response here:
this is a short response. There are links that lead you to other responses and more support to my ideas and theory.
Here I also presented my objections to three models:
a) Banerjee et all
b) Tuomo's Suntola
c) Markolf H. Niemz.
If you read my response you will realize that I respect Dr. Suntola's dedication and precise reasoning but I disagree with the basic assumptions. That said, I think it is worthwhile to read it carefully, have my theory as the basis, and check the validity of conclusions that weren't based upon the problematic hypotheses. The work was detailed and might hide valuable contributions. I didn't have the time to work on both theories. My theory keeps me busy. I suppose that is Dr. Suntola's problem also.
I consider replacing Dark Matter and Dark energy with a negative surface tension of a m-brane not a contribution to Physics.

Hello, first off all my question may be badly formulated since this is my first interaction with viscoelastic behavior, from what I understand the creep compliance is somehow the equivalent of the compliance matrix in elasticity except for the fact that it is depended on time ( and maybe temperature) because it takes into account the the viscous behavior of the material.
From what i understand, in order to "separate" the viscous behavior from elastic behavior we need to subject our samples to constant loads over a period of time, thus we obtain strain vs time graphs for different loads which helps us see if the material is linear viscoelastic or nonlinear by analyzing the isochronals.
Now back to my question, it appears to me that the simplest way to determine the creep compliance tensor components, do we use the data obtained from the constant loading tests I mentioned earlier, specifically the isochronals obtained for every moment to calculate the every particular component of creep compliance tensor at that moment, and then use some kind of mathematical fitting (power laws for example) to obtain the creep compliance as a function of time.
Please tell me if the method that I explained is the way to proceed or if it's just nonsense.

how to conceptualize monitoring and evaluation based on compliance to occupational health and safety.
Relevant answer
Answer
Hi Ritah,
The answer to this is rather simple to describe, but more complex to implement, particularly the collection of the data. A simple approach is to identify the critical behaviors that must be followed and build them into an observational checklist. If used with a number of employees, you could report percentage compliance for each behavior or overall. This approach could be modified by first determining the importance of each behavior (e.g., crucial, important, or recommended) and building this into the analysis. Since you are dealing with a finite number of employees, the analyses will be simple descriptive statistics such as frequency counts and proportions (or percentages). I hope this is helpful.

The questionnaires used were all likert scales, however, as per their instructions, they are all either summed or the mean is taken, therefore creating interval data.
Ass I have 2 IVs and 2 DVs, I am thinking of using a multivariate regression analysis. Is this correct?
Many thanks for your time.

Answer
Hello Clare,
Yes, if evaluating models for both DVs simultaneously makes sense towards understanding what's going on (and is consistent with your research question/s), then multivariate regression may be used.
If you only care about what happens individually for each outcome (general, covid-specific), then evaluate the models independently.

I am studying about Impact load resistance property of Polyurea (Elastomer). With respect to this, I need to conduct tests on this material to evaluate its material model behavior as a hyperelastic material model and Viscoelastic material model. These material models are to be used in an FEA analysis to understand its impact resistance properties. I have researched some data mentioned below about the procedure to determine the viscoelastic properties and hyperelastic properties of an elastomer material.
Kindly review it and provide your valuable comments to improve it against discrepancies incurred by me.

2. Biaxial Test (ASTM D 6856 / ISO 16842:2014)        -      stress/ strain curve or table as output
3. Planar Test (                                                                   -      stress/ strain curve or table as output
4. Bulk Modulus Test (ASTM D 575 / ISO 7743)          -      pressure/ volume ration curve or table as output
Mechanical tests to be conducted for Visco-Elastic model
5. Creep test ( Shear, Volumetric and Combined )  (ISO 8013)            -        constant load/stress will be applied as input and  strain/ time curve  will be taken as output   
6. Relaxation Test (Shear, Volumetric and Combined) (ISO 3384)     -         constant deflection/strain will be applied as input and stress/time curve will be taken as the output
Test data derived from test no 1 to 4 shall be used to calculate Mooney-Rivlin hyperelastic material model parameters.
Test data derived from 5 & 6 will be used to calculate the following mechanical properties
a. long term normalized shear compliance or modulus
b. long term normalized volumetric compliance or modulus
c. normalized shear compliance or shear relaxation modulus vs. time
d. normalized volumetric compliance or volumetric  relaxation modulus vs. time
The data mentioned from points a to d are needed to derive the Prony series constant for the viscous elastic material model mentioned below:
1. Shear relaxation modulus ratio
2. Bulk relaxation modulus ratio  
3. Relaxation time
I have gone through ASTM/ ISO codes mentioned superficially but didn’t understand a few topics for some codes. I need your valuable guidance regarding the following points.
1. specimen preparation (Dimension and Shape)
2. Testing procedure. (Constant Load & Deflection required  in test no 5 & 6)

I would like to anticipate the idea why research activities in the academe is not usually adapted or been used by third parties in behalf of its purpose: I mean the purpose of their research. Consequently, college and post graduate schools require thesis products for graduation requirement intents, but, the idea is just for the compliance purpose of the course program; and what about being endorsed to important third parties such as government institutions as to be used as basis for policy making. I see the lapses in that point and that it is ironic that some educational institutions are better and very hard working dealing on their research activities and publications and yet their studies are minimally recognized by their government for policy making and protocols, in which, in this way, the idea or the effort of scholars doing such ingenuity will be usable as it get beneficiaries in hand. Studying is not that easy, why not support or maybe the university or educational institution must endorse their research products to nearby jurisdictional policy makers for the better and best of the community in nearby future. I am just wondering why that research products are treated that way not on the exact way that studies and experiment of these experts must be commended for being excellent in such field they had chosen as proven by the research studies they have done. Is it because it lacks support from their respective government? Is it because their government does not appreciate the efforts of their research scholars and enthusiasts?

Hello,
we are conducting cytotoxicity tests since over an year and aren't able to get a stable test. We are no in the validation phase but there are some effects we can't explain. Here is an overview how we conduct the test in compliance with DIN EN ISO 10993-5:
- Seeding 1 x 10^4 cells in a 96-well plate (except the outer wells) --> incubate for 24 h
- Adding medical device extracts (100%, 50%, 10%, 1%) and controls:
- positive control: 1% Triton X (P)
- negative control: cell media (N)
- blank (B): media that was shaken with cell culture media for 24 h at 37 °C in the same kind of container like the medical device was shaken (in compliance with DIN EN ISO 10993-12)
- Incubation for 24 h
- Discard the media and add 50 µl MTT solution (10 mg/ml) --> incubate for 2 h
- Discard and add 100 µl Isopropanol --> incubate for 30 min
- Read out with microplate reader
See the pictures below...the cells are all the time okay until extracts and controlls are added...So something must happen at this point. Sometimes the negative control dies randomly. Sometimes the blank dies. Sometimes only one extract dilution which makes no sense. Does anyone have an idea?
Many thanks!
Relevant answer
Answer
I have had enough failures in doing cytotoxicity and viability assays to be able to share some insights.
1. I don't know your cell line but if the cells are average sized and multiply properly, I would start by seeding a lower cell density around 1-2k cells per well. Lower cells density allows us to see a better resolution of effect by the agent/ controls on cell survival/viability/proliferation.
2. The most common but less discussed issue is changing media. Everyone you change media due to pipetting a large chunk of cells may be pipetted out. Resulting in negative results in one of the agents or positive controls. Many a times when cell density is very high a large chunk of cells gets uprooted out easily. So without touching the bottom the pipette needs to be touching the edge to gently remove media. This should be practiced throughout all media changes.
3. Another alternative is to avoid change of media as much as possible. One way is to directly put the MTT in the media. Although media has a colour due to phenol red it may affect reading but the media is present in all wells so it should not be an issue. Although some people use a media without phenol red to avoid this issue.
Hope this helps.

Relevant answer
Answer
To answer your question, yes, the compliance and the adherence is affected by the cost of the pharmacotherapy.
It's just the anecdotal evidence, but during my 6-month-long traineeship in the local community pharmacy I've seen several situations, when patients resigned from medicines or just bought only part of the pharmacotherapy due to the cost. As Fedaa Kamaleldeen said, the magnitude of this phenomenon depends on many factors, mainly on economical situation and the costs oft the medicines.
But I don't think it occurs only in the third world countries. I will try to find some stats about it : )

An important step towards more compliance in companies was taken: Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2019 on the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law (the so-called Whistleblower Directive) was published in the EU Official Journal of 26 November 2019. The directive now introduces an EU-wide minimum standard for the protection of whistleblowers. Under the new rules, companies with more than 50 employees will be required to set up secure channels for reporting breaches. The scope of the Directive is limited to reporting violations of EU law. Member States may, however, go beyond the minimum standard when transposing the Directive so that the national legislator has the possibility to extend the scope to breaches of national law. How do you assess the situation in your country? Will the possibility of extending it to national law be used?
Relevant answer
Answer
That's good and up-to-date Directive for the EU. However, not many countries will go beyond the minimum, primarily the EU-15 member states will do. Agree with Maryam.

I read a paper that claim shariah compliance of Islamic banks could influence the market share of the bank but I couldn't find yet another paper that prove that.
Relevant answer
Answer
- first of all, this hypothesis you propose can only hold true in islamic country where there are more shariah banks than conventional banks. Therefore, your question.
- Market share is determined by bank size, loan to asset ratio, innovation, competition and strategy among banks.
- Even "regulatory compliance" itself is not a determinant of market share, therefore, i dont see how a case could be made for shariah compliance as a determinant of market share. What economic argument do you suggest could support your hypothesis?

Relevant answer
Answer
. Waad Hadi Abd I have a keen interest in auditing and compliance. If you would like to elaborate we can discuss. If you prefer DM me and we can discuss.
Like Christopher C Kelly I like auditing and its part of my current role but it can be ineffective. For instance, the auditee's are generally aware that you are going to audit them and what you are going to audit so they prepare to be audited and prepare to pass the audit. However an audit is suppose to be a snap shot in time, they are always suppose to be complying not just proving they are for the sake of the audit.

I am looking for new trends i.e. Agile auditing. Further, new methodology to analyze the competency level of an auditor along with methodologies to assess the audit risk.
Relevant answer
Answer
I've got a keen interest in auditing from a manufacturing perspective. I am also an internal auditor.
If you like to discuss in detail please PM me.
My insight in to internal audit strategy - From an internal auditing perspective, a lot of auditors give the area notice of the audit. The reason for this from an internal auditors point of view is so that the auditor can understand what he needs to audit and plan for it. However, this also give the auditee's a chance to prepare for the audit. This in a way, is not a true depiction of the area being audited.
However, giving them a chance to prepare at least makes them evaluate themselves and look to become compliant. Its an interesting thing to consider. Do you turn up unannounced and audit them, or do you inform them of the audit, giving them a chance to prepare and what benefit does this provide in the long term, or is it just a short term fix.

We can say without a doubt that CPAP improves not only a sleep apneic patient‘s sleep quality — but also can improve brain perfusion by oxygen - during sleep.
So why do so many predominantly males diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) refuse such easily aable and relatively cheap therapy, when offered a CPAP machine?
Why does sleeping with a CPAP carry with it such a negative connotation? Is it really about discomfort? Because many OSA patients will swear by their CPAP machine and won’t travel far without it, once they get used to it...
Does anyone have any statistics regarding reasons to refuse CPAP therapy? Anecdotal evidence? I would be interested to hear.
Relevant answer
Answer
There certainly is the issue of discomfort; some individuals have much trouble with the trigeminal stimulation induced by the mask, the airway dryness issues, unaesthetic appearance. and the inconvenience of lugging around a device to hotels. However, the real concern for us in the sleep field is that CPAP does little to manage the cardiovascular issues induced by OSA, as outlined in a recent NEJM article. The management is not totally ineffective, but the benefits are minimal. In severe cases of disordered breathing, use of CPAP will support respiration, but the failing blood pressure control results in headaches and following-day feelings of deprivation. We have a task ahead of us to resolve this issue.

Often times, a pure metal is described as isotropic because the mechanical properties do not vary with direction. However, I recently learned that Young's modulus changes with direction according to the equation attached. Sxx is compliance and l,m,n are the direction cosines.
So then are any materials truly isotropic, or is that an assumption we tend to make
Relevant answer
Answer
The known factor K (combination of three elastic stiffness parameters, see elsewhere) should equal UNITY in case of ideal isotropy, whereas most metals have this exceeding TWO and even more. Nonetheless, there are good exclusions:
W has K=1 within about 0.01 errors, Al and Mo have 0.8 and 1.2, respectively, or vice versa (check please).

Some important topics that researchers should address are their interest, engagement, and knowledge of place. Their interest in economy can define through small business that you can see in the place in which they occupied. Engagement is where people share places to interact, transact, and exchange knowledge. Knowledge is their understanding of the culture that stood behind the process of shaping/making the place.
