Results of the cancer screening program in urban areas in Shaanxi province of China, 2019-2020

Objective: Analyze the cancer screening status of the cancer screening program in urban areas in Shaanxi province in 2019-2020. Methods: The early diagnosis and early treatment project for urban cancers carried out high-risk population screening for 5 types of high-incidence malignant tumors (breast cancer, lung cancer, upper gastrointestinal cancer, liver cancer, and colorectal cancer) in urban areas. Three prefecture-level cities in Shaanxi province with a population of over 1 million (Xi'an, Baoji, and Shangluo) were selected, and 4 communities with a relatively good working foundation were selected in each city. The general population aged 45-74 years was surveyed on the principles of informed consent and voluntariness, and high-risk groups identified through the questionnaire were further subjected to free endoscopy, ultrasound, CT, and other clinical screenings. The high-risk rates, screening compliance rates, and positive detection rates of the above 5 types of malignant tumors were analyzed. Results: A total of 19 632 people completed the survey effectively, with the proportion of male participants (40.0%) lower than that of females (60.0%). A total of 10 102 high-risk groups were identified, with an initial screening high-risk rate of 51.5%, and the high-risk rates for the 5 types of cancers were 24.1% for breast cancer, 28.6% for lung cancer, 9.1% for upper gastrointestinal cancer, 4.0% for liver cancer, and 20.0% for colorectal cancer. Among the 14 960 person-time initially assessed as high-risk, 5 129 person-time received clinical screening, with a screening compliance rate of 34.3%. The number of people receiving clinical screening and the screening compliance rates for the 5 types of cancers were 1 192 (41.9%) for breast cancer, 2 081 (37.1%) for lung cancer, 574 (32.0%) for upper gastrointestinal cancer, 404 (51.3%) for liver cancer, and 878 (22.3%) for colorectal cancer, with positive detection numbers and rates of 179 (15.0%) for breast, 289 (13.9%) for lung, 9 (1.6%) for upper gastrointestinal, 14 (3.5%) for suspected liver, and 67 (7.6%) for colorectal, respectively. Conclusion: The cancer screening status of the cancer screening program in urban areas in Shaanxi province is beneficial for the detection of precancerous lesions and early cancer patients, and improving the early diagnosis and treatment rate of patients, but the public participation rate is not high, and the project management model and technical plan need to be further improved.

AGILE PROJECT MANAGEMENT: ANALYZING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF AGILE METHODOLOGIES IN IT PROJECTS COMPARED TO TRADITIONAL APPROACHES

This systematic review examines the comparative effectiveness of Agile and traditional project management methodologies, focusing on their application in dynamic IT environments and well-defined industries. Utilizing the PRISMA guidelines, a total of 45 peer-reviewed studies published between 2005 and 2023 were analyzed. The review found that Agile methodologies consistently outperformed traditional approaches in dynamic settings, offering greater flexibility, faster project delivery, and higher customer satisfaction through iterative cycles and continuous stakeholder engagement. However, traditional methods, such as Waterfall, were found to be more effective in projects with fixed scopes and stringent regulatory requirements, providing better control and predictability. The review also highlights the growing adoption of hybrid project management models, which combine Agile’s adaptability with the structure of traditional methods, particularly in large or complex projects. The findings underscore the importance of selecting the appropriate methodology based on project-specific factors, with Agile excelling in fast-changing environments and traditional methods being more suitable for regulated industries. Further research is recommended to explore Agile’s applicability in non-IT sectors and the long-term effectiveness of hybrid models.

Quality Management in Software Development

Introduction. The scientific literature examines various approaches to quality management in information technology (IT). The issues of identifying and correcting defects are worked out, and the possibilities for minimizing them are shown. There are materials on quality management in complex engineering processes. At the same time, there is no detailed description of quality management at each stage of the IT product life cycle, including testing. It should be noted that the coordination of software releases is closely related to quality management, but this process is rarely or fragmentarily considered in the literature. Additionally, the interprocess communication is not taken into account; therefore, there is no comprehensive understanding of quality management in the creation, testing and refinement of software. This study is designed to fill these gaps. The research is aimed at presenting a comprehensive approach that links the theory, practice and methods of software quality management.Materials and Methods. Theoretical and applied literature on the subject were studied, analyzed, and reviewed. The author's professional background in managing the quality of IT products was used. The practices of global suppliers of digital goods and services were taken into account. The author has used these materials and methods to study in detail the issues of software testing and code deployment.Results. A comprehensive model of quality management in software development is elaborated, described and presented in the form of a diagram. Its interconnections with the project management model and the product life cycle, namely: analysis, design, development, testing, deployment, and support, are identified. Principles of quality management at each of these stages are specified. The processes and checks during code deployment are systematized and presented in the form of a diagram. Their features are shown in three environments: during development, testing, and production.Discussion and Conclusion. The algorithm allows quality experts to build the sequence of actions to eliminate detected defects in the future, understand the situation when it is possible (or impossible) to deploy code, and determine the moment when the software should be transferred to the user. In addition, the proposed scheme can be the basis for automating code deployment. The solution will reduce development time. As a result, the product will enter the market faster, which will speed up the payback of costs. The implementation of the model created within the framework of this scientific work into the production practice of IT companies presupposes strategic changes. Their implementation requires significant time and other resources; therefore, the overall transformation process should be divided into parts. The proposed approach is adaptable to the needs of various organizations and products. You can work with individual components to create an optimal plan for achieving quality management goals.

Societal interaction plans—A tool for enhancing societal engagement of strategic research in Finland

Abstract In this paper we investigate the practices and capacities that define successful societal interaction of research groups with stakeholders in mutually beneficial processes. We studied the Finnish Strategic Research Council’s (SRC) first funded projects through a dynamic governance lens. The aim of the paper is to explore how the societal interaction was designed and commenced at the onset of the projects in order to understand the logic through which the consortia expected broad impacts to occur. The Finnish SRC introduced a societal interaction plan (SIP) approach, which requires research consortia to consider societal interaction alongside research activities in a way that exceeds conventional research plans. Hence, the first SRC projects’ SIPs and the implemented activities and working logics discussed in the interviews provide a window into exploring how active societal interaction reflects the call for dynamic, sustainable practices and new capabilities to better link research to societal development. We found that the capacities of dynamic governance were implemented by integrating societal interaction into research, in particular through a ‘drizzling’ approach. In these emerging practices SIP designs function as platforms for the formation of communities of experts, rather than traditional project management models or mere communication tools. The research groups utilized the benefits of pooling academic knowledge and skills with other types of expertise for mutual gain. They embraced the limits of expertise and reached out to societal partners to truly broker knowledge, and exchange and develop capacities and perspectives to solve grand societal challenges.

Sustainable design and building information modeling have introduced challenges and opportunities to improve the efficiency of construction project management. The use of circular economy principles provides an opportunity to improve not only environmental indicators but also economic ones. This study addresses sustainable design and BIM in construction project management through circular economy principles. It aims to analyze the impact of using building information modeling on sustainability indicators measured through costs. For research purposes, the basic parameters of sustainability in the construction industry were defined as recycling rate and reductions in waste and CO2. The research questionnaire sample consisted of 199 respondents from Slovakia, Slovenia, and Croatia. Data were processed and evaluated through descriptive statistics, and then tests were used for data distribution. Statistical significance was determined through ANOVA and Kruskal–Wallis tests. Pearson’s correlation analysis was used for data processing. The trends in the research results suggest that sustainable design can be achieved using building information modeling. They also pointed to an impact on sustainability through increasing the recycling rate and reducing the amount of waste. Although these results indicated a trend, this was not confirmed by the statistical significance tests.

LOGISTICS OF MATERIAL FLOWS IN SHIP REPAIR PRODUCTION PROJECTS

A logistics system is a complexly organised, integrated economic system consisting of interconnected links in a single process of managing material and related flows. Project management in logistics systems uses the application of project management methods and models in the process of designing logistics systems and managing changes in them, as well as solving the problems of managing resource flows in logistics systems. The design, creation and management of logistics systems is accompanied by their presentation as an integral set of elements in certain relationships and connections between them. The logistics system should meet the goals of their design and management. The article outlines elements of the mechanism of logistics management of material costs of ship repair production. Efficient use of the company's resources is possible through the systematic development of a system of organisational and technical measures to reduce costs. All cost-cutting measures are closely interrelated and comprehensive, reflecting the relationship of each of them with the entirety of ship repair production elements. The paper substantiates the production features of a ship repair enterprise and analyses the factors that determine the level of costs. It identifies types of ship repair works and stages of preparation of vessels for repair, which makes it possible to plan costs for formation of the production programme. This text presents the production structure of a ship repair enterprise and discusses the peculiarities of product costing. Ship repair companies use planned, indicative, estimated (technical) and reporting costings. This makes it possible to develop a mechanism for managing the costs of ship repair projects and the production process of a ship repair company.

Improving approaches to product quality management at large manufacturing enterprises.

Dynamic conditions of the market environment force companies to seek and apply more progressive methods of quality management. While small companies are more flexible and can quickly adapt to new challenges, large enterprises find it more difficult to change their approaches due to the large number of internal standards, approval parties, and the degree of influence of quality standards on production operations. A reasonable combination of QMS approaches according to the ISO:9001:2015 standard and Lean principles improves the situation and helps improve production quality. However, in the conditions of modern competition, when production deadlines have a direct correlation with the financial wellbeing of the company, there is a need to introduce more modern, adaptive management technologies, for example, to make a transition to project management models even in such conservative areas as shipbuilding and construction. In this context, managing departments responsible for quality requires the manager not only to know the basic principles of forming and using project teams, but also to have the skills to apply these methods. The focus is gradually shifting towards “soft skills”, since the project management methodology, at its core, implies the correct distribution of roles between participants, identifying their strengths, which in turn is the result of a reasonable and professional approach to searching and hiring employees. Mental qualities and way of thinking prevail over applied knowledge and are more valuable for the leader and the company. This article analyzes the problems and challenges facing managers and the reasons for the decline in the overall quality level of large companies. In addition, the article provides practical examples indicating tools for improving the quality management system and describes the economic effect of introducing these tools.

A project management model for architectural restoration projects

Architectural restoration projects have many peculiarities that differentiate them from other construction projects. Despite the universal guidelines, standards and bylaws, a specialized approach on the management of architectural restoration projects is yet a knowledge gap. Inadequate use of project management knowledge in the field results in time and budget overruns, quality problems, insufficient research, incorrect scope definition, lack of interdisciplinary coordination, disconnection between phases, inefficiency in change management, and further ambiguities. Following an exploratory sequential research process consisting of qualitative and quantitative data from a focus group meeting, a questionnaire survey, and a 48-h on-site training; the authors focus on the peculiar nature of architectural restoration projects from project management perspective. The study aims to explore the extent to which the conventional project management knowledge, tools and techniques can be applied to architectural restoration projects, investigate if more adaptive and contemporary approaches can fit better to them, and propose a practically applicable management model tailored for such projects. The results show that a hybrid model combining agile and waterfall project management approaches with an appropriate business context targeting the unique requirements of architectural restoration projects can be instrumental to cope with the complexities of such projects.

Модель управления трансграничными проектами в строительстве на базе сквозной оценки проектных рисков

The article aims to determine the requirements for a new conceptual model of project management, which allows for the systematic implementation of artificial intelligence technologies to prepare and make management decisions at the accelerated pace of industry development, and to design the model. The methodological basis for the study was the theory of portfolio management and the systems approach to management. Working methods are narrative analysis and system synthesis in order to overcome the main problems that reduce management efficiency. As a result, a system of integration control buses in management has been proposed, introducing end-to-end hierarchy and relational interconnection of project indicators at all stages of the life cycle using digital scenario modeling techniques and allowing to organize the presented system model of project management. The mechanism for monitoring and controlling project risks when managing integrated systems and elements is shown, including the use of a universal project control tool for organizing external digital control using a methodology for identifying and assessing project risks, expressed in target assessment indicators, analyzed by creating a digital twin of the object. A model for managing the multidimensionality of design tasks based on the integrated use of neural networks is described. The potential for the development of a business ecosystem for project management is shown to make it possible to make predictive value-oriented management decisions taking into account risk management. The theoretical results of designing a system model of project management can be used as technical specifications for creating a software product for the management of various areas of project management. Keywords: system model of project management, risk management, end-to-end management bus, development project management, cross-border construction, information modeling technologies, neural networks.

Theoretical and Methodological Bases for Implementing BIM Technologies in Construction Companies: Essence. Characteristics. Economic Efficiency

The theoretical concepts and methodological characteristics of implementing BIM technologies in construction companies have been defined. BIM is an information modelling of a construction object, which involves the collection and processing of all information about a building with all its interconnections and dependencies, when the building is considered as a single object. It should be noted that when analysing the definitions of BIM, it is possible to come to the conclusion that it is necessary to make a clearer distinction as to what type of object is meant. Thus, there are some definitions that refer directly to the building model (Building Information Model), the building lifecycle process (Building Information Modelling) and the entire investment and construction process system (Building Information Management). It is pointed out that the traditional approach to design is based on two-dimensional models – plans, drawings and paper documentation. In contrast, Building Information Modelling (BIM) technologies add new aspects – construction plans, time and costs. These can be presented in any convenient form using an information model of the object in virtual reality. The short and long term benefits of using BIM technology in the construction industry are analysed in this article. It was noted that BIM goes beyond standard CAD systems as it allows to create three-dimensional models, known as 3D models, as well as models defined as 4D, 5D, 6D and even 7D. An automated project management system is described on the basis of three elements: the structure of project activities, the structure of resources and the matrix of resource allocation to project activities. In an automated system that ensures effective project planning, control and execution, these elements form a project management model. However, effective cost management throughout the project lifecycle is crucial to the successful implementation of the information system and maximising its benefits to the organisation. According to the authors, the overall cost-effectiveness factor of using BIM technology is determined by several factors: reduction of the overall level of project risks due to proven, accurate and optimised design solutions for engineering systems; reduction of construction time and construction costs as a result of reducing the number of errors in installation and use of materials; improvement of the quality and efficiency of building use will help reduce the negative impact on the environment. The conclusions emphasise that the successful implementation of BIM technologies in a construction company can lead to economic efficiency through an increase in labour productivity, a reduction in the cost of resources and materials, as well as an improvement in the quality and safety of construction processes. In addition, using BIM can help improve the quality of buildings and optimise the use of resources, helping to reduce environmental impact. In fact, BIM is a significant cost driver through this comprehensive approach to project management in construction.
