Purpose New services design and development are difficult to plan, execute, measure and evaluate. Particularly, new services that are capital-intensive and involve a long gestation and development time are considered extremely risky. The purpose of this paper is to discuss a list of innovative practices in various managerial aspects in designing, planning and development of a large scale infrastructure intensive public transportation service. A contemporary new public transportation service development is discussed as evidence of proven and benchmarked criteria. Design/methodology/approach This is a technical paper, where theoretical foundations of best practices in new service development project are discussed and supported by practice-based evidences from a real-life urban transportation project. A case study approach is adopted with secondary data. Findings Worldwide during and after economic recession of 2008, several projects were stalled or abandoned. The inference through this work is that through efficient management practices, a large capital-intensive new service development project can be made successful even during a turbulent economy in a region marred by more challenges than elsewhere. Practical implications Several issues in large scale services development, such as urban transportation are domain specific. Some of the issues faced in urban transportation are common to several Gulf countries; therefore the policy guidelines, managerial practices and development strategies reported in this paper can be replicated in many of them. The commercial impact of the service project is a significant drive towards fuel conservation and to save huge amounts of productive time. Social implications Public transportation with a high quality of networked service improves the quality of life to a large extent. Unless certain measurable demands are not met, an affluent society is less likely to endorse public transportation. In addition, endorsement of public transportation is been promoted in several parts of the world as a drive towards a green, energy efficient, low-carbon emission and sustainable environment. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, new services planning and development is a key operations management topic, on which very little is written about. Particularly no other paper has presented a real-world large scale infrastructure intensive project development to this detail, and along with a theoretical background to benchmark performance and development practices.

 The paper analyzes structural alternatives in the implementation of infrastructure projects on the example of main gas pipelines. Particular attention is paid to the impact of various forms of procurement procedures on the course and result of the implementation of the infrastructure project as a whole. It is shown that the choice of procurement method can influence the structure of incentives and risks of the parties involved, as well as indirectly impact on the establishment of the market price setting, the level of product quality in the industry, and the complex cost of project implementation. Noting the extreme importance of the issues of ensuring the quality of the products used, the authors review the available structural alternatives for organizing quality control, show the possible mechanisms of the influence of the downtime of enterprises on reducing the level of industry competencies.

As the demand for visual quality of environment increases, visual analysis therefore plays progressively important role in current urban landscape construction and management. Guided by the City Image theory, this paper presents a covered scene index “X” to describe the visibility of the target scene, and formulates a digital analysis model based on ArcGIS and 3D simulation. This method is applied to the viewpoint analysis from the East Daming Road of the North Bund to the Oriental Pearl in Shanghai and optimized solutions are proposed according to the results. It turns out that this simple and objective technique can serve as a good tool for the reference of urban landscape planning and management.

Amoxicillin, substance-related to semisynthetic penicillin, has been widely used to treat infections caused by various microorganisms, however reports of suitable methods for the quantitative determination and indicative of the stability of formulations containing this substance are rare. Due to lack of studies on the forced degradation of the substance and on the need to monitor the quality of this type of formulation was proposed and validated a method for the determination of amoxicillin content in capsules by high-performance liquid chromatography - HPLC for the quality control of amoxicillin capsules, allowing the provision of useful information about the characteristics of this type of formulation and its stability. The method was validated for parameters of linearity, specificity, accuracy, precision, and robustness

Fixing the accessibility is a standard issue of transport analysis, which can be of interest to many socioeconomic applications. In the paper we propose and discuss accessibility and other indicators‐based urban transport system analysis and GIS (geographic information systems) calculation method for indicating problematic transportation zones in Vilnius city. The main parameter is time‐based accessibility from/to the central part of Vilnius and other transport zones in the city. Created GIS application computes the ranks for transport zones of Vilnius city according to accessibility and Vilnius statistics in these zones (street network density in city zones, number of working places, number of equipped parking places, number of attractive objects in transportation zones). The GIS decision support system is based on 2 calculation methods Topsis(Technique for OrderPreference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) and SAW (Simple Additive Weighting). Application of transportation zones analysis improves the quality of basic environment statistics and fills many data gaps related to urban statistics, providing information to decision‐makers and the general public concerning key factors determining the state of urban transportation environment. This paper outlines criteria and models used in Vilnius to develop urban transportation indicators and the reasons why the selected indicators represent the first important step to achieve a comprehensive system of indicators of urban transportation sustainability in Vilnius city. This model could be integrated in systems of urban transport planning and sustainable development planning. Santrauka Straipsnyje aptariama indikatorių sistema, reikalinga miesto transporto rajonams ranguoti, remiantis sprendimų paramos skaičiavimo metodais ir GIS (geografinės informacinės sistemos) technologijomis. Buvo identifikuojami Vilniaus miesto transporto rajonai, probleminiai susisiekimo sistemos požiūriu. Analizei atlikti buvo naudojami šie rodikliai: gatvių tinklo tankis, visuomeninio transporto tinklo tankis, automobiliu statymo vietų tankis, kelionių skaičius kiekviename transporto rajone, gatvių tinklo ilgis, tenkantis 1000 transporto rajono gyventojų, dirbančiųjų ir gyventojų tankių disproporcija transporto rajone, transporto rajono pasiekiamumas nuo miesto centro. GIS aplikacija su integruotais daugiakriteriniais sprendimų paramos sistemos skaičiavimo metodais, kaip paprastųjų svorių sudėjimo SAW ir idealiojo taško TOPSIS, ranguoja Vilniaus miesto transporto rajonus ir leidžia identifikuoti problemines susisiekimo sistemos požiūriu miesto vietas. Plečiant sukurta aplikacija, naudojant daugiau indikatorių galima sukurti bendra indikatorių sistemą miestų planavimo uždavinių sprendimams pagrįsti.

With the emergence of bicycles as an increasingly viable form of urban transportation comes the need for improved design and planning tools. Existing methods for evaluating bicycle facilities and for prioritizing their construction and maintenance are reviewed. Two components are necessary for such an analysis: one for assessing the quality of the segments that make up the network, and one for assessing the overall network itself. Space syntax analysis is evaluated as a tool for network assessment on the basis of its potential to predict patterns of travel over different network configurations. The theory behind space syntax is evaluated and then tested by using data from the city of Cambridge, Massachusetts. A good model for predicting bicycle volumes within a network can be constructed by using only census data and the space syntax measure “choice.” Unlike existing bicycle suitability measures, space syntax describes the importance of segments to the connectivity or completeness of the network.

The food market grew circumstantially in recent years and the quality of services and products is the distinguishing factor among many companies in the field of food. The Foodborne Diseases (FD) are serious public health problem, and it is in this context that it becomes important to ensure food hygiene as a priority component of food safety. The objective was to evaluate the physical and structural hygiene fridge, cold, bakery and FFV (Fresh Fruits and Vegetables) in a supermarket chain sectors Teresina-PI conditions. Selected at random ten supermarkets located in four zones of the city that were evaluated through a check-list containing questions relating to health and hygiene handler, facilities and equipment. It was found that, as to the adequacy, no area was classified as poor, with the best grades were supermarkets B, F and C, belonging to different parts of the city. The adjustments ranged from fair to good, showing a concern for the quality control in some supermarkets while, in others, leaving a little aside this issue, which is worrying, since the quality of food is the key point health of human beings.
