(76.3) 25.0 Because many countries have set national performance targets based on their relative rank or absolute PISA score PISA assessments have increased the influence of their (non-elected) commissioning body the OECD as an international education monitor and policy actor which implies an important degree of 'policy transfer' from the international to the national level; PISA in particular is having "an influential normative effect on the direction of national education policies". Thus it is argued that the use of international standardised assessments has led to a shift towards international external accountability for national system performance; Rey contends that PISA surveys portrayed as objective third-party diagnoses of education systems actually serve to promote specific orientations on educational issues. . . .

Singapore business directory, According to global consulting firm Towers Watson Singapore has "one of the most successful healthcare systems in the world in terms of both efficiency in financing and the results achieved in community health outcomes". This has been attributed to a combination of a strong reliance on medical savings accounts cost sharing and government regulation the government regularly adjusts policies to actively regulate "the supply and prices of healthcare services in the country" in an attempt to keep costs in check However for the most part the government does not directly regulate the costs of private medical care These costs are largely subject to market forces and vary enormously within the private sector depending on the medical specialty and service provided. However Towers Watson has claimed that the specific features of the Singapore healthcare system are unique and have been described as a "very difficult system to replicate in many other countries." Many Singaporeans also have supplemental private health insurance (often provided by employers) for services not covered by the government's programmes, The natural environment of Java is tropical rainforest with ecosystems ranging from coastal mangrove forests on the north coast rocky coastal cliffs on the southern coast and low-lying tropical forests to high altitude rainforests on the slopes of mountainous volcanic regions in the interior The Javan environment and climate gradually alters from west to east; from wet and humid dense rainforest in western parts to a dry savanna environment in the east corresponding to the climate and rainfall in these regions! .
