In the recent past, due to the rapid spread of robotic technology, there is an increase in heed towards the design of self rehabilitation devices for physically challenged persons. Thus, in this paper, we develop “A Real Time LabVIEW based low cost virtual control personal assistive system for disabled using motion intention and Speech”. Towards this, at the beginning the motion intention is estimated through the user muscle activities in real-time using Electromyogram (EMG) electrodes. Thus, the EMG electrodes control the system in proportion with users’ motion intention. However, sometimes there is a problem in the estimation of motion intention due to poor muscle activity in weak persons and surrounding environment. In that case, to modify the user’s motion and to avoid accidents, speech recognition technology is introduced as an alternative. Therefore, this system helps the disabled people to input their data by mapping both EMG signals and Voice commands using LabVIEW. The proposed virtual control personal system is tested using a Robot model and developed on Arduino platform. The possible enhancements of developed control system may also be discussed for potential applications in medical, home and industrial environments.

This paper comprises a step wise method of approximating the size of an underground object using GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar). It involves more than just using predefined filters and techniques. Usage of Trivial method of mathematics to calculate the top surface dimensions of the buried objects is the main purpose of this paper. Problem that is faced that, only the presence of any object can be known using the GPR resource, but not exactly how to derive the size of the object using the same data. This method consists of a dual approach to the problem to make sure that the data that is being given out is accurate. The objectives of this paper are to use the GPR to calculate the top surface dimension of a buried object at a suitable depth according to the frequency. The steps that are incorporated include pre-processing of raw data, determination of ROI (Region of interest) from the pre-processed data, Application of appropriate filters for image processing and estimating surface area and depth of the concealed object. The main reason of this paper is to serve the purpose of detecting what is under the ground in a quick and simpler way using the algorithm proposed.
Realistic Energy Commitments in Peer-to-Peer Transactive Market with Risk Adjusted Prosumer Welfare Maximization
Authors: Mohan Vivek , Bu Siqi , M Jisma , VC Rijinlal , Thirumala Karthik , Thomas Mini Shaji , Xu Zhao
Published: May 2020

As the local energy sources are mostly uncertain and fluctuating in nature, the ‘energy risk’ due to discrepancies between committed energy transactions and metered measurements is prominent in peer to peer (P2P) markets. We propose a P2P market settlement mechanism which lowers this risk and maximizes the welfare of buyers and sellers. The risk in energy production is modeled using Markowitz portfolio theory and the best point where energy return per unit risk is maximum is obtained from the efficient frontier by using the modified Sharpe ratio. The energy portfolio thus obtained is used as a constraint while optimizing the conflicting prosumer benefits using multi-objective stochastic weight trade-off chaotic non-dominated sorting particle swarm optimization (SWTC-NSPSO). In effect, only a reliable proportion of total energy demand submitted in the bid is cleared in the market, foreseeing the real-time fluctuations. The proposed market settlement mechanism also gives room to the existing distribution system operators by assigning them the duty of 1) optimally allocating energy among buyers and sellers in accordance with their competitive bids 2) providing the infrastructure, managing the market and charging for the service and 3) checking the technical feasibility by performing load flow and monitoring power transfer sensitivities to encourage short distance transactions. The energy allocation is done in CIGRE LV benchmark microgrid with ten peers having solar and wind generation. The allocated energy is found to be closer to the metered measurements and hence the reserve cost is observed to be low.
Complete Face Recovering: An Approach towards Recognizing a Person by a Single Partial Face Image without the Target Photo in Gallery
Authors: Cheung Yiu-ming , Li Mengke
Published: May 2020

Complete face recovering (CFR) is to recover the complete face image of a given partial face image of a target person whose photo may not be included in the gallery set. The CFR has several attractive potential applications but is challenging. As far as we know, the CFR problem has yet to be explored in the literature. This paper therefore proposes an identity-preserved CFR approach (IP-CFR) to addressing the CFR. First, a denoising auto-encoder based network is applied to acquire the discriminative feature. Then, we propose an identity-preserved loss function to keep the personal identity information. Furthermore, the acquired features are fed into a new variant of the generative adversarial network (GAN) to restore the complete face image. In addition, a two-pathway discriminator is leveraged to enhance the quality of the recovered image. Experimental results on the benchmark datasets show the promising result of the proposed approach.
A interpretação de Trotsky sobre o estalinismo
Authors: Anderson Perry
Published: May 2020

Este artigo foi, originalmente, uma palestra de Perry Anderson proferida em Paris, em 1982 e trata da interpretação de Trotsky sobre o significado histórico do estalinismo. O autor defende que é a mais coerente e desenvolvida teorização do fenômeno dentro da tradição marxista, construída em momento de lutas políticas contrárias a isso. Desse modo, seu pensamento estava envolvido numa tensão com os maiores conflitos e eventos daquele momento histórico. O texto divide o pensamento trotskista em três diferentes fases.
Qual língua? E qual Itália? Da linguística à política nos escritos de Gramsci sobre o italiano pós-unificação
Authors: Brunello Yuri
Published: May 2020

Concebido pelo Gramsci dos Cadernos como um conjunto “de classes subalternas e aliadas”, o povo “italiano” – constituído como povo pelos componentes das classes “dominantes” – teria sido excluído de um sistema linguístico e cultural desde o processo de Unificação nacional, ou seja, uma língua que seria a língua de um círculo restrito de diplomatas, de nobres, de comerciantes, de literários e de políticos. De acordo com Gramsci, a tarefa dos intelectuais progressistas e democráticos seria a de sanar esta fratura, tornando as classes populares protagonistas não apenas economicamente e politicamente, mas também e, sobretudo, culturalmente.
Trabalho, educação e a produção e reprodução social da condição humana em Marx
Authors: Antunes Caio
Published: May 2020

O modo como Marx tratou a educação tem sido objeto de instigantes estudos, no interior das mais variadas vertentes teóricas marxistas e em diferentes campos do conhecimento. Com efeito, o autor não se ocupou, ao longo de sua produção, de uma formulação exclusivamente educacional, nem mesmo pedagógica, muito embora a educação ocupe lugar de destacada importância no conjunto de sua obra. O presente texto busca analisar o sentido amplo da concepção de educação desenvolvida por Karl Marx. No interior da obra marxiana, pretende-se indicar as profundas e intricadas relações que se estabelecem entre educação e trabalho, tanto do ponto de vista das relações estruturais que unem estas duas categorias, quanto do ponto de vista das formas como o trabalho se organiza e realiza historicamente e suas interferências no processo de humanização dos seres humanos.

O transformismo permanente: Gramsci e a crítica do fetichismo histórico e da mitologia nacional
Authors: Fresu Gianni
Published: May 2020

A fraqueza das classes dirigente italianas é uma questão orgânica, presente em profundidade na obra de Gramsci, que abraça alguns plexos temáticos: a estagnação do desenvolvimento da civilidade comunal e a falta da formação de um estado unitário moderno; os limites do “Risorgimento” e a ausência de uma realizada dialética parlamentar na idade liberal, a «revolução passiva» como método permanente de modernização conservadora. Nessa temática tem um lugar central ainda o fenômeno da absorção, por parte do Estado e das classes dominantes, dos intelectuais e dirigentes do movimento operário nas fases de «inflexão histórica». A análise de Gramsci acerca deste fenômeno lança uma luz nova sobre o problema tipicamente italiano do «transformismo», não um simples fenômeno de maus costumes políticos, mas um preciso processo de cooptação, desde o “Risorgimento” e a partir desse período, através do qual as classes dominantes têm consolidado o seu poder, absorvendo metodicamente os elementos novos emersos dos acontecimentos políticos e sociais.
Ética e política em Rousseau: a natureza e os fundamentos das instituições políticas públicas
Authors: Silva Marcelo Lira
Published: May 2020

Objetiva-se com este breve Ensaio recompor o fio epistemológico que existe na obra de Jean-Jacque Rousseau, de tal forma a articular o complexo categorial que é constituído a partir da totalidade de sua obra. Portanto, buscar-se-á expor o quadro-conceitual rousseauniano a partir de uma visão de totalidade, na qual as categorias são partejadas a partir da abertura de múltiplos processos sócio-culturais e político-econômicos que se relacionam em uma perspectiva de unidade de contrários. Desta forma, partir-se-á da concepção de guerra e de paz, que aparecem em sua obra Princípios do Direito de Guerra, como forma de se expor os fundamentos e a natureza das instituições públicas, que viriam a constituir o arranjo político-institucional do Estado Moderno. Destarte, a análise determina-se a partir de processos particulares da estrutura interna do Estado Moderno, todavia, articulada com as determinações, objetivas e subjetivas, que se determina de forma universal, no âmbito externo.

Objetivamos com esse artigo discutir as contradições presentes na proposta do Programa Mulheres Mil (PMM), voltado à proissionalização de nível básico das mulheres consideradas em situação de vulnerabilidade social. A institucionalização do PMM é uma estratégia de focalização da política pública no contexto de racionalização do Estado, ocasionando corte de gastos de políticas sociais que tenham viés universalizante. Trata-se de pesquisa bibliográica e documental, cuja análise enfatiza as dimensões contraditórias da proposta de formação proissional no PMM com base no contexto de reforma da educação proissional desde 1990. Dentre os aspectos do PMMevidenciados estão: a) não articulação com a ampliação dos níveis da escolaridade; b) atividades formativas pautadas no trabalho simples e não relacionadas aos avanços tecnológicos; e c) a inserção em setores precarizados do mundo do trabalho.

Kusch and van Fraassen on Microscopic Experience
Authors: Gava Alessio
Published: May 2020

Martin Kusch has recently defended Bas van Fraassen’s controversial view on microscopes, according to which these devices are not “windows on an invisible world”, but rather “image generators”. Both authors also claim that, since in a microscopic detection it is not possible to empirically investigate the geometrical relations between all the elements involved, one is entitled to maintain an agnostic view about the reality of the entity allegedly represented by the produced image. In this paper I argue that, contrary to what Kusch maintains, this might not be a neutral way to render scientific evidence. Moreover, a constructive empiricist can support a realist interpretation of microscopic images. In fact, constructive empiricism and van Fraassen’s own anti-realism do not necessarily amount to the same thing.

Published: May 2020

Целью исследований являлось изучение продуктивности гвизоции абиссинской в зависимости от норм высева и способов посева. Изучение элементов технологии проводили в 2017-2019 годах. Изучалось три нормы высева от 1,0 до 3,0 млн. всхожих семян на гектар на фоне широкорядного и рядового способа посева. Полевая всхожесть культуры колебалась в пределах 84,9-86,6. При этом наблюдается тенденция ее увеличения на 0,7-1,0 при рядовом способе посева. При широкорядном посеве полевая всхожесть варьирует в пределах 86,3-86,6 и существенно не меняется в зависимости от норм высева. Сохранность растений к уборке составила по вариантам от 92,5 до 94,2. Наиболее высокие значения данного показателя получены в варианте с нормой высева 3,0 миллиона при рядовом способе посева 94,2. Оптимальные условия для формирования продуктивности сложились в 2017 году. Получена наиболее высокая урожайность семян (1,69-1,83 т/га) независимо от элементов технологии. Высокая урожайность семян была отмечена на варианте с нормой высева 2,0 млн. всхожих семян на гектар при рядовом посеве и составила 1,74-1,83 т/га. На данном варианте семена отличались высокой масличностью 41,8 и 41,9. Наиболее крупные семена сформировались при норме высева 1,0 миллион (3,67 г). При увеличении нормы высева масса 1000 семян снижалась. Содержание линолевой кислоты варьировало от 71,5 до 78,0 по вариантам опыта. Количество олеиновой кислоты составляет 5,4-7,7, в зависимости от элемента агротехнологии.

The research objective was to study the productivity of Guizotia Abyssinica, depending on the seeding rate and methods of sowing. The study of technology elements was made in 2017-2019. Three seeding rates from 1.0 to 3.0 million germinating seeds per hectare were studied against the background of a wide-row and row sowing. Field germination of crop ranged from 84.9-86.6. There is also a tendency to increase it by 0.7-1.0 by the row sowing. By the wide-row sowing, field germination varies between 86.3-86.6 and does not vary significantly depending on the seeding rate. The survival capacity of plants ranged from 92.5 to 94.2 according to variants. The highest values of this indicator (94.2) were obtained in the variant with a seeding rate of 3.0 million by the row sowing. The optimal conditions for the formation of productivity were established in 2017. The highest seed yield (1.69-1.83 t/ha) was obtained regardless of technology elements. High seed yields were observed in the variant with a seeding rate of 2.0 million germinating seeds per hectare by the row sowing and amounted to 1.74-1.83 t/ha. In this variant, the seeds were characterized by high oil content of 41.8 and 41.9. The largest seeds formed at a seed rate of 1.0 million (3.67 g). With an increase in the seeding rate, the weight of 1000 seeds decreased. The linoleic acid content ranged from 71.5 to 78.0 according to the experimental variants. The amount of oleic acid is 5.4-7.7, depending on the element of agricultural technology.
ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT: A DETERMINANT TO ORGANIZATIONAL EFFICIENCY AND PROGRESS.
(A Consideration to Henri Fayol’s Principles; Luther Gulick and Lyndall Urwick Edited Papers of Science)
Authors: Akampwera Aloyzius  , Jonah Nyaga Kindiki
Published: May 2020

Plans and actions in an organization initially starts with decision making, which is done within the administration and management chambers. This encompasses laying structures of hierarchy; effective strategies and plans of what is to be done; how to achieve it including the required resources and procedures; and considering who is responsible in achieving the planned agenda within an organization. Administration and management do not mean being “a manager sitted in an office”, rather it can mean one’sself being responsible for whatever duty he/she is assigned to do. According to Fayol’s administrative principles; Luther Gulick and Lyndall Urwick’s edited papers in the science of administration; and Focal Organizational Variables, considered in this paper all contends that administration and management sections in any organization are assigned to responsibilities they must effectively perform for the efficiency and progress of their organizations. Effective management of an organization gives a high output even with limited resources and, or without wasting the available resources. An administrator has to be well aware of his/her position as almost every member looks on to what is practiced in the “administration section/office”. Poor administrators and managers are of a great setback to any organization’s efficient production and progress.

Цель – анализ эффективности ведения почвозащитной системы земледелия в современных условиях освоения залежных земель в засушливом степном районе Республики Хакасия. Для эффективного использования земельных ресурсов проведена группировка земель. Выделены эродированные, засоленные, литогенные земли. Из пашни выведены сильноэродированные, засоленные, каменистые почвы. Усовершенствована структура использования пашни, увеличен удельный вес кормовых культур и чистого пара. Доля последнего составляет 20–25 % от общей площади пашни. В структуре посевных площадей удельный вес зернофуражных культур достигает до 45–50 %. Совершенствование основных блоков системы земледелия способствует широкому внедрению приемов минимизации обработки почвы при освоении залежных земель и защите почв от эрозии и повышению производства зерна, молока, мяса и других экономических показателей. Освоение залежных земель и внедрение почвозащитного комплекса в сочетании с приемами минимизации, обработки почвы, сохраняющими растительные остатки, способствуют охране окружающей среды и защите почв от ветровой эрозии и увеличению производства зерна в 2011–2019 гг., по сравнению с периодом до освоения земель (2001–2010 гг.), в среднем в 4,4 раза, молока – в 5,6; мяса – в 3,0 раза.
FACTOR ANALYSIS OF THREATS AND RISKS OF ECOLOGICAL SAFETY
OF AGRICULTURAL LAND USE
Authors: Kupriyanchyk Iryna
Published: May 2020

Introduction. The modern system of land use organization in agriculture does not contribute to ensuring ecological balance in agricultural ecosystems and is characterized by threatening trends of declining ecological and economic efficiency of agricultural production. Given the above, it is necessary to further improve the theoretical and methodological approaches to the formation of environmentally friendly agricultural land use, in particular through the effective functioning of the system of identification of environmental threats and risks. This, in turn, raises the issue of their systematization and impact on the environmental safety of agricultural land use.
Methods. The study is based on the use of calculation-constructive and experimental methods to systematize the threats and risks of environmental safety of agricultural land use, the method of factor analysis – to form a model of their interaction, as well as the indicator method – in developing a classification of these threats and risks.
Results. The approach to defining the essence of ecologically safe agricultural land use as a process of land use in agriculture is substantiated in the paper. It ensures the prevention of danger to human health, prevention of environmental degradation of agroecosystems and degradation of land resources, as well as their resilience to environmental threats and risks.
In accordance with the interpretation of the essential concept of environmentally friendly agricultural land use, the new conceptual approach to its formation is proposed to put the level of assimilation potential of certain types of land (arable land, perennial plantations, pastures, etc.), which in contrast to appointment of a specific agroecosystem based on restrictions and burdens in land use.
A factor model in the form of a matrix of direct interaction of these threats (risks) is compiled in order to systematize the threats and risks of environmental safety of agricultural land use caused by eco-destructive factors. The ranking of the most important threats and risks of environmental safety of agricultural land use depending on the levels of their manifestation in time and space was based on this model.
Discussion. Given the negative multiplier and synergetic effects of threats and risks to environmental safety of agricultural land use, the topical issue is the formation of a classification of negative factors influencing it, which will serve as a basis for developing methods for assessing the level of safety.
Keywords: land use, agriculture, ecological safety, threats, risks, factors, model.
MULTILATERALITY OF UKRAINE'S SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM
Authors: Sydorchuk Orystlava
Published: May 2020

Introduction. Ensuring social security at the level of an individual, society or state is a central concept of activity of all branches of government in Ukraine, as it is a guarantee of public perception of the activities of public institutions and successful implementation of reforms. The lack of stability in Ukrainian society is particularly relevant to the task of ensuring multi-level social security and encourages the deepening and development of organizational and managerial principles of its regulation.
Methods. The dialectical method of scientific cognition, complex, systematic, logical approaches, as well as a sociological survey were used to identify the state, problems and directions of providing social security, the sample size of which was 2515 respondents in 110 settlements of Ukraine, statistical error (probability 0,95, design effect 1,5) did not exceed 3,2% for metrics close to 50% and not less than 0,7% for metrics close to 1% and 99%.
Results. Based on the hierarchy of the construction and functioning of social systems, there is reason to argue that the social security system is a complex multilevel system, which is formed and operates in the plane of objective and subjective processes from the influence of many factors of internal and external origin. A high level of social security is achieved by creating favourable conditions for ensuring a sufficient standard of living for the population and is characterized by the size of real incomes and the volume of economic benefits. Social security management is a purposeful activity of social security entities that develop and implement governmental, regulatory, coordinating, controlling, regulatory and organizational-managerial influences on social security objects for the purpose of forecasting, timely detection, prevention and neutralizing threats.
Discussion. Further research should be carried out in the direction of developing the scientific basis of state regulation of social security, aimed at timely response to and elimination of social threats, formation of targeted mechanisms for achieving social security, coordination and interaction of authorities.
Keywords: social progress, public administration, social security system, national security, social risks, social and economic interests.
TRANSFORMATION OF TAX REGULATION IN EU COUNTRIES: POSITIVE EXPERIENCE FOR UKRAINE
Authors: Turyanskyy Yuriy
Published: May 2020

Introduction. Ukraine's active progress towards integration with the European social and economic space requires an update of domestic fiscal policy to ensure adequate cooperation with European countries. The need for changes in tax regulation in the context of integration processes actualises the issue of generalizing the features of fiscal policy in the EU with the identification of the most positive experience of reforming it.
Methods. The following methds are used in conducting the research: systematic, institutional methods (to study the tax system and mechanisms for regulating tax relations in individual EU countries), the trend analysis method (to analyze the dynamics of tax rates and tax revenues in EU countries). Eurostat data on major tax aggregates of national accounts of different countries were used as an information source.
Results. The current tax policy of EU countries is characterized by the co-ordination of the interests of each state, the abolition of inefficient elements of tax systems and the renunciation of nominal tax sovereignty. Bid sizes are not uniform and tax rates are quite low. The effectiveness of the EU tax system is manifested primarily in the distribution of taxes, that is, in their share in the overall structure of tax revenues. The highest is the share of indirect taxes, with the average value of the share of VAT fluctuating within 20-30%, the share of personal tax - within 8-30%. Considering the positive experience of the EU member states, the main directions of transformation of tax regulation of Ukraine are the implementation of EU norms in the field of taxation into the legal system and tax practice: improvement of tax policy principles, as well as modification of the national structure of tax types in accordance with European standards; ensuring the systematic and efficient functioning of the internal taxation regime and the tax administration process.
Discussion. Further scientific research should cover the development and use of state-of-the-art analytical tools for tax burden forecasting and fiscal regulation effectiveness.
Keywords: tax system, fiscal policy, tax burden, tax administration, taxpayers, European integration, economic integration.
METHODICAL APPROACHES TO TYPOLOGY OF FARMS
Authors: Svynous Ivan , Havryk Olesya , Byba Valentyna
Published: May 2020

Introduction. One of the conditions for creating a favourable environment for the development of farms in the future is the substantiation of methodological tools for their typology on the basis of a system of criteria of objective and subjective nature. Criteria for typology should be selected parameters that characterize the essential features of farm development, production potential, features of management and marketing, indicators of production efficiency, as well as other important indicators in developing strategies and tactics.
Methods. The general scientific and special methods of economic research were used in the article, in particular: a systematic approach − in the study of the relationships between phenomena and processes in the system of ensuring the effective development of farms; statistical analysis − in determining the dynamics, structure and effectiveness of farm development; comparative − to compare economic processes in the production of agricultural products in different time periods in order to identify the causal link; dialectical, abstract and logical − in carrying out theoretical generalizations, forming conclusions.
Results. When assigning a farm to a certain category, only the legal features of its registration are taken into account, but not the size of the farm's resources. Many farms are essentially family-owned and have relatively small incomes, land area and livestock according to the experience of entities operating in the field of agribusiness. Very often, farms classified as small businesses produce many more products than the average enterprises.
Discussion. It is proposed to include into the net assets the value of agricultural land as the main means of production of business entities in order to ensure the unity of methodological approaches to the typology of agribusiness entities. The information basis for the calculation is a statistical form of 6-lands, which reflects the area of land use, and the cost component should be determined based on the methodology of normative monetary valuation of agricultural land, which came into force in 2017. In the near future, the use of methodological approaches to the typology of agricultural enterprises will make it possible to introduce effective state and regional support for agricultural production, regardless of the organizational and legal form of management.
Keywords: typologization, farming, criteria, agricultural production, agribusiness.

THEORETICAL ESSENCE OF CAPITALIZATION
Authors: Marchenko Valentyna
Published: May 2020

Introduction. The category of "capitalization" throughout the period of development of the system of economic relations is the basic category of any mode of production. The peculiarity of modern production is based on a set of neo-industrial factors, on which new priorities of capital structure and processes of its accumulation were formed. All this necessitates the development of economic theory in the direction of the study of patterns that arise in the process of capital formation.
In modern science, there is a considerable diversity of thought about the essence of capitalization, but the lack of generalization and systematization forms an idea of the separation of concepts of capitalization from the economic essence of the category "capitalization".
Methods. The following methods were used to achieve the goal of the study: generalization – to analyze and group existing scientific approaches to understanding the essence of the category “capitalization”; decomposition – to distribute value added, to clarify the essence of the process of capitalization of profits in the cycle of capital circulation, to visualize the process of capitalization in the production enterprise; synthesis – to systematize modern approaches to the formation of the concepts of capitalization on a set of isolated features; logical analysis – to form the structure of the material in the article, to formulate conclusions.
Results. On the basis of the study of the essence of the category "capitalization" the lack of clarity of its formulation, which is formed by the classics of economic theory, is revealed. Today, capitalization is interpreted as the accumulation of capital, the transformation of value added into capital, the resultant indicator of activity, the sum of all resources, etc. The emergence of new factors of capital development has led to the emergence of new concepts of capitalization, in particular: the capitalization of knowledge, the capitalization of intellectual capital. The complications of economic relations have led to the use of the concepts of capitalization in banking and accounting. Two fundamental approaches to understanding capitalization have been identified on the basis of the generalization of existing concepts of capitalization and their correspondence to the essence of this category: a) as an indicator of the value of capital that creates value added, and b) as a process of increasing and transforming capital (value) from one form to another.
The paper generalizes modern approaches to the formation of the concepts of capitalization on the basis of the formed set of traits.
Discussion. The conducted research lays the fundamental foundations for the development of economic theory in terms of expanding the classification features of the concepts of capitalization, the study of capitalization processes in new types of economic activity.
Keywords: capitalization, capital, advanced capital, added value, profit, market capitalization.

Introducing the Best Value Quality Checklist in Procurement
Authors: Verweij Jorn , Kashiwagi Dean
Published: May 2020

The Best Value Approach (BVA) is a change in paradigm, replacing the non-experts decision making, management, direction, control (MDC) and thinking with the utilization of expertise. The best known BVA model is the Best Value Procurement model (BVP). With the further proliferation of BVP, a growing number of tenders are labelling themselves as “Best Value” without adhering to proper BVA practices. These “hybrid” tenders produce discouraging results, and have a detrimental effect on the wider proliferation of BVA and BVP. An easy-to-use tool is proposed that requires no BVA expertise to assess whether a tender is in fact run as a BV tender, and which may be used to avoid or minimize decision making. A “BV Quality Checklist in Procurement” is established by applying first principles to the Pre-Qualification, Selection and Clarification phase. The three phases have been analyzed with the focus on avoiding all types of decision making resulting in 21 checks. Using the checklist it can be assessed whether a tender procedure is a BV tender. The checklist can also assist in avoiding decision making in the tender process. The approach used here may furthermore be applied in other fields than procurement.
The Cost Effectiveness of Alpha SPF Roofs: Casa View Elementary School Roofing Case Study
Authors: Kashiwagi Dean , Zulanas IV Charles , Gajjar Dhaval
Published: May 2020

The performance of the Alpha Sprayed Polyurethane Foam (SPF) roofing system is perceived as not an economical option when compared to a 20-year modified roofing system. The Dallas Independent School District (DISD) is replacing the existing Alpha SPF roof systems with new roof systems rather than recoating the existing systems at a cost that is 100% more than the recoating costs. The DISD is in a heavy hail area, and the proven hail resistance of the Alpha SPF roof system is an additional benefit for DISD who is self-insured. The Casa View Elementary School roof system was installed with a Neogard Permathane roof system in 1987. This roof was hail tested with ten drops from 17 feet 9 inches of 1-3/4-inch steel ball (9 out of 10 passed) and three drops from 17 feet 9 inches with a 3-inch diameter steel ball (1 out of 3 passed). The analysis of the passing and failing core samples show that the thickness of the top and base Alpha SPF coating is one of the major differences in a roof passing or failing the FM-SH hail test. The current potential cost savings of purchasing a 61,000 square feet Alpha SPF roof versus modified bitumen roof is approximately $610,000 for DISD. The past hail tests on Alpha SPF roof systems show high customer satisfaction (9.8 out of 10) and an over 40-year service life after a $6.00/SF recoat.
