“…We defined the minimum and maximum values in the sample for the years 2012-2014 using the following formula: (1) During the last stage, we estimated three random-effects models with time dummies where the independent variables were: Legal form (0-public entity, 1-company), size (ln revenue), and localization (0-urban, 1-rural), and the dependent variable was the M2 indicator. We estimated models for the whole group and for rural and urban hospitals separately.…”

“…Sustainability is a model of an economy based on increased social and environmental responsibility [1]. The environmental dimension means introducing low-carbon green economy, which decouples economic growth from consumption of natural resources and energy, at the same time reducing the pressure on the planet by lower emission of CO 2 and energy, and resource efficiency.…”

Literature review suggests that rural hospitals are in the worst financial conditions due to several factors: They are smaller, located in remote areas, and they provide less specialized services due to their problems with employing well-qualified staff. We decided to check whether it is true in the case of Polish hospitals. Based on the literature review, we have assumed that rural hospitals have less favorable financial conditions. In order to verify this assumption, we use seven indicators of financial health as well as a synthetic measure of financial condition. We have found that, in fact, there is no difference in financial condition between rural and urban hospitals, or even that the financial health of rural hospitals is better if we employ the synthetic measure. Additionally, we have found that the form of activity can be a crucial driver of better financial performance. The concept of rural sustainability is supported by good financial conditions of rural hospitals, which helps to provide better access to medical services for inhabitants of rural areas.

“…After the elimination of the failure, the deadline for the next planned repair is rescheduled.Such an organization of operation increases the level of reliability of elements and reduces losses caused by replacing the structure before the expiration of the standard period of its depreciation. However, the implementation of such a system is associated with the complexity of performed work accounting [15]. The failure rate is determined by formula 5:…”

The article discusses problems of current interest concerning the housing and utility sector associated with increasing the level of comfort of living by constantly improving measures for carrying out planned and un-scheduled repairs and surveys. This work provides a methodology for justi-fying the choice of a repair strategy for engineering systems of water sup-ply and sewerage in the process of operating the housing stock, the imple-mentation of which will contribute to the timely and rational repairs and inspections of buildings engineering systems. This will allow systematical-ly eliminating engineering systems malfunctions, predicting and planning the optimal quantity and chronology of repair and restoration activities by maintaining the technical condition of the engineering system elements within the permissible limits during the standard service life.The main goal of the research in the presented material is to substantiate the methodology for choosing a repair strategy for water supply and sewerage systems dur-ing the operation of apartment buildings.The optimal periodicity for the re-pair of engineering systems depends on the failure rate of elements and the costs associated with the execution of all operational activities.Three op-tions considered for organizing repairs of engineering equipment.Applied in actual practice the technique of choosing the repair strategy of engineer-ing systems for selecting the optimal option to organize repairs of engi-neering equipment.

“…In Ukraine, water provision is extremely high. The level of centralized water supply and waste water collection services to its population is also high (Papagiannis, Gazzola, Burak, Pokutsa, 2018). However, the innovation condition of the networks and facilities are ever inadequate in the developed countries.…”

In Kenya, one of the millennium development goals is to increase accessibility to clean, safe and affordable water as well as providing proper and efficient sanitation services to all people in the world. Despite the government and non-governmental organizations making good efforts to supply water to citizens, there is still low water supply coverage, especially in rural areas of Baringo North Sub County. The study aimed to examine the effect of water technological factors on water accessibility among residents of Baringo North. The study was informed by technological theory. The study adopted a descriptive research design. The accessible population for this study was 19,734 households' heads, 3 NGOs Water and Sanitation officers, 3 National government agencies, 5 ward administrators, 3 water officers, 12 chiefs and 39 assistant chiefs in Baringo North. The researcher obtained sample size 392 using Yamane formulae. The study used cluster sampling technique, proportionate sampling and simple random sampling technique to select the respondents. The study used semi-structured questionnaires to solicit required data on success factors and water accessibility by residents. A pilot study was conducted in Elgeyo Marakwet County among 39 respondents representing 10% of the sample size. The study used both descriptive and inferential analysis. The descriptive analysis involved the use of mean, frequencies, standard deviation and percentages. The inferential analysis involved Pearson product-moment correlation and multiple regression analysis. If variables are correlated, then a change in one variable is accompanied by a proportionate change in another variable. The regression model was used to establish a significant difference between water technological factors and water accessibility among the residents. The study findings show that technological factors have a positive and significant influence on water accessibility (β1=.284, p<0.05). The study concluded that technological factors had a direct influence on the implementation of water projects in Baringo North sub-County. Therefore, the study recommends that the county should use technology in water accessibility among residents since the cost of applying technologies to access water is low and will benefit the community.
