The work presents a study on the Basic Education Development Index (IDEB), which is an educational indicator that relates learning through performance assessments and school flow. The IDEB is calculated with school approval data, obtained from the School Census and also using performance averages that are applied by the National Basic Education Assessment System (SAEB) and Prova Brasil. For carrying out a discussion about the IDEB values in the municipalities of the state of Paraná, a dataset were collected referring to the initial years of municipal elementary education in Paraná, using the average, from the first to the fifth year. For the years 2005 to 2021 the results showed which there are municipalities with higher values. In this period, an effort to improve the values of the IDEB in the schools of the municipalities was identified because a tendency of increment in the analyzed spatial time series. The results indicated that the IDEB appears in the context of school evaluation as a managerial instrument to verify results and used to classify schools and direct resources based on meritocracy.

“…Participatory management is based on the idea of empowering group members to participate in functional decision making. It also prioritises community specific actions' success or failure in conservation by accepting local people's inputs and participation (Ward et al, 2021). In most developing countries, irrigation management systems have not performed well in the past because their management was entirely and poorly controlled by governments (Abernethy, 2010).…”

Increasing production efficiency of irrigation systems through stakeholder participation

Irrigation projects have elicited ambiguous views, if not outright animosity, during the past four decades. Aside from environmental and relocation concerns, low productivity is a source of criticism. Irrigation management systems in developing countries seem to have historically underperformed due to government control. Weak institutional arrangements have hindered effective and timely water distribution. There is widespread dissatisfaction with technocratic top-down programmes imposed with little community support. A rising recognition that more advanced engineering and information technologies are not the primary drivers of increased irrigation potential utilisation has resulted in an emphasis on farmer-led irrigation. Many developing countries have introduced reform instruments since the 1980s, with the most notable paradigm being a move from government control to participative management by stakeholders. This study looks into the situation in Cambodia where participation of farmers in managing irrigation schemes is being sought through the formation of Farmers Water Users Committees. The study quantifies the improvement in project performance with farmers’ participation through Farmers Water Users Committees and finds it significant. Furthermore, using difference-in-difference methodology, this research finds that the improvement is not a blip and is sustained over the medium term.

An intelligent optimization method for highway route selection based on comprehensive weight and TOPSIS

In order to accurately analyze and evaluate multi-index and multi-route traffic schemes for comparison and selection, we introduce herein a comprehensive weight and an intelligent selection algorithm for traffic scheme optimization to improve upon the shortcomings of common qualitative and quantitative analysis methods. Firstly, we establish an evaluation index system of transportation by traffic scheme considering the factors of technology, ecological environment, social environment, and economy, based on the whole life cycle. Secondly, the comprehensive weight based on subjective and objective factors is constructed. Finally, we establish an optimization method for transportation schemes by using the comprehensive weight and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) model. The results show that the evaluation index system based on the whole life cycle is more comprehensive and accurate. The comprehensive weight vector avoids the defects of single weight methods and makes full use of subjective data and expert opinions. The comprehensive weight vector is introduced into the decision-maker’s preference coefficient, so that analysts can determine the scheme according to the subjective and objective information and to the required accuracy. This method uses a large number of evaluation groups to evaluate the scheme, and the evaluation results show greater objectivity and efficiency.
