Currently, forensic methods and regulations in the field of construction do not explain how quality of work affects the procedure of forensic examinations and research related to determining the work scope. While carrying out building and renovation services, it is possible to control provided construction and renovation services,  establish their physical volume and quality. While research, forensic expert can identify violations of building codes, as well as determine the cost of refurbishment or elimination of defects made providing services. The scoop of performed works is determined by geometric parameters of construction elements, established during field surveys using design and as-built documentation. While carrying out field surveys, it is necessary (along with the determination of service scope) to pay attention to the compliance of the work performed with the requirements of building codes. The article outlines problematic issues and provides a list of basic indicators determining the scoop and quality of the construction works carried out, indicated in the reporting documentation drawn up by contractors based on results of activities in the field of construction. Actual issue arising in the establishment of the scoop and cost of construction work is considered  that quality does not meet the requirements of regulatory documents in the field of construction. It is explained how the quality of the work performed affects the results of research related to the determination of the actually completed volumes of repair, building and renovation and construction work.

Environmental compensation is a form of payment for pollution of nature and the environment and the destruction of land, plants or animals. One of the challenges in ensuring waste management in Kenya is how to measure the negative effect of industrial activities and waste on the environment, economy, and human health. Although the amount of compensation should be established on the basis of the environmental-economic assessment of the appropriate environment, it should also be sufficient to implement measures aimed at restoring, reproducing and improving this environment. Kenya has not yet developed a clear legal framework for compensation for environmental damage even through it has a clear and elaborate Environmental Management and Coordination Act for the protection of the environment. Previous studies on the cost of environmental damage in Kenya have successfully used two methodologies: emergency costs and soil, air, and water pollution. This works examines the essence of these methods, as well as the possibility of their application in assessing the cost of damage to the environment as a result of human economic activity.

In the presented article there will be discussed measures which allow to lower expenses for the maintenance of the machinery and which contribute to the increase of energy saving in general. To achieve these goals, it is proposed to apply modern methods of organizing and operation works, to use high-tech construction equipment, and also to form an optimal mechanization complex of building and construction works. The optimization criterion is the cost of work. When determining costs for the operation of construction machinery at the site, we take into account their energy efficiency, compare the options and manage the most efficient fleet of construction equipment. In the course of meeting the task, there were drawn conclusions which demonstrate that an integrated approach to the formation of machinery parks on the construction site allows to use the available resources more rationally, in order to improve the environmental component and improve the quality of construction work.

The methodical approaches to cost management in the organization of work on the reconstruction and overhaul of railway buildings and structures on the basis of the cost-standard method with the use of the method of estimating the cost of the life cycle as an economic analysis of the total expenses for the performance of repair and construction works are developed and proposed. For the implementation of local estimated estimates of the cost of reconstruction and overhaul of railway structures on the basis of normative and technical documentation and initial data (on the design of the building or structure, the machine complex and the length of time provided for the works ("window" or "closed transfer")), according to collections of estimated standards, the selection of appropriate prices for the complexes of works in the technological sequence, the corresponding version of work execution is carried out. In order to account for additional costs to individual prices, correction factors are used in accordance with the conditions of their application and are stipulated in the general provisions of the relevant price lists. The estimated cost of work on the railways of railways and structures is determined by the basic-index method. Data on the resources obtained from the estimated calculations for the considered options, make it possible to compare resource indicators in both quantitative and cost terms and determine the maximum values for the main elements of expenditure that can be used in additional conditions, at the option of an economically feasible option of repair- construction works. Proceeding from the above developed methodology for calculating the normative estimated cost of work on RCR railway buildings and structures on the basis of a normative method using the author's developed methodological recommendations for the formation of cost-regulatory documents and current indexes of change in the estimated cost of articles and elements of expenditure.

The results of studies on the concentration of fine dust concentrations during construction work are presented. A method developed by the authors for modeling the dynamics of air flow and the zone of distribution of impurities, taking into account external non-stationary factors during construction work on the basis of a specialized GIS application, is considered. It is proposed to use in contaminated areas after construction and repair and emergency work of a dust collector, which is aimed at reducing pollution. The main element of the dust-harvesting machine is designed for cleaning hard surfaces, namely from debris, sand and gravel masses, dust particles, estimates and liquid waste. The use of solar collectors in the dust collecting unit allows the dust collecting machine to have a long operating mode, it does not require additional energy resources when the machine is running.

Melanoma Screening

Background and design— Australia has the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, and the incidence is estimated to be doubling every 10 years. Despite advances in the early detection and treatment of melanoma about 800 people still die nationally of the disease each year. A possible strategy for further reducing the mortality from melanoma is an organised programme of population screening for unsuspected lesions in asymptomatic people. Arguments against introducing melanoma screening have been based on cost and the lack of reliable data on the efficacy of any screening tests. To date, however, there has been no systematic economic assessment of the cost effectiveness of melanoma screening. The purpose of this research was to determine whether screening may be potentially cost effective and, therefore, warrants further investigation. A computer was used to simulate the effects of a hypothetical melanoma screening programme that was in operation for 20 years, using cohorts of Australians aged 50 at the start of the programme. Based on this simulation, cost—effectiveness estimates of melanoma screening were calculated. Results— Under the standard assumptions used in the model, and setting the sensitivity of the screening test (visual inspection of the skin) at 60%, cost effectiveness ranged from Aust$6853 per life year saved for men if screening was undertaken five yearly to $12137 if screening was two yearly. For women, it ranged from $11 102 for five yearly screening to $20 877 for two yearly screening. Conclusion— The analysis suggests that a melanoma screening programme could be cost effective, particularly if five yearly screening is implemented by family practitioners for men over the age of 50.
