Budget Approach

While it would be great to be able to predict the future and plan for events and items as though they would certainly happen, it is unlikely that the use of the budget as a precise document to follow will occnr. There are many factors that are not under the control of the person responsible for occupational safety and health. 

developers of an occupational safety and health budget must hitch their proverbial wagon to as many real to life safety and health issues as possible. This means that the best approach is to tie as much of the expenditures to compliance with regulatory requirements as humanly possible. Another approach is to show how the use of dollars for intervention and prevention of potential cost (a cost-avoidance strategy) can demonstrate savings. 

Developing a budget that identifies specific items to be completed for a specific cost with proper justification provides the resources to complete the agreed-upon safety and health task. A budget should be broken down into several identifiable

An important benefit of the isotopic approach is that below-ground biomass values are not required. The 13C natural abundance isotopic carbon budget approach is based on C3 plants having lower 13C value than C4 plants (Ehleringer 1991 Clay et al. 2006) and that the signatures can be tracked by placing C3 plant residue into a soil derived from C4 plants or vice versa. In these calculations, several definitions are needed. These definitions include... 

Allmaras et al. (2004) developed a C-budgeting approach based on combining experimental and isotopic techniques. The data needed to use calculations derived by Allmaras et al. (2004) required that the experiment contain com stover harvested and removed treatments. These calculations assume that the removal of above-ground biomass will not influence the sequestering of below-ground biomass. The SOC derived from com stover (sSOC) is calculated with the equation ... 

One of the key concerns of analytical science is how good are the numbers produced . Even with an adequately developed, optimised and collaboratively tested method which has been carried out on qualified and calibrated equipment the question remains. Recently it has become fashionable to extend the concepts of the physical metrology into analytical measurements and to quantify confidence in terms of the much more negative uncertainty.It is based on the bottom-up principle or the so called error budget approach. This approach is based on the theory that if the variance contributions of all sources of error involved in analytical processes then it is possible to calculate the overall process... 

Of course, the acceptable level of model complexity is closely related to the level of detail of the experimental data. Energy budget approaches are generally most informative when data on body size and reproductive output are available over time for a considerable part of the life cycle. Examples of the application of DEB theory to life cycle toxicity data for single compounds can be found in Jager et al. (2004), Alda Alvarez et al. (2005), and Pieters et al. (2006). More complicated TD approaches require other types of experimental data (e.g., at the molecular level), but should never ignore the level of resource allocation when endpoints such as growth and reproduction are concerned.

Just a few approaches will be discussed here. Other techniques have been used with some success, particularly with relation to particle interceptor traps, but this section will concentrate on basic mass budgeting approaches using water column distributions or seasonal cycling of tracers. There are three basic, yet fundamentally independent approaches that can be used. 

The direct recall costs are calculated following the partial budgeting approach. A partial budgeting is based on the principle that a small change in the organization of a business, or in this case the supply chain, will have one or more of the following effects eliminate or reduce some costs, eliminate or reduce some returns, cause additional costs to be incurred and cause additional returns to be received. The net effect will then be the sum of positive financial impact minus the sum of negative financial impact (Dijkhuizen and Morris, 1997).

With reference to economic resources, new financial strategies are needed to run universities in a similar way as enterprises. University budgeting today requires to make visible the real costs of infrastructure including personnel, materials, energy etc.. It also needs to show the proceeds, fees, subsidies and grants. The traditional budgeting approaches do not really fit into the 21 Century any more.
