  The selection of experts, the formation of expert groups remain the urgent problems
  today, as the reliability of expert assessments largely determines the quality of the
  finished document. We consider that an appropriate solution to this problem may
  be the experts’ competence assessment by ranking. We offer a model that allows a
  comprehensive assessment of the experts’ competence, taking into account their
  qualifications in the assessed scientific and technical sphere, and also helps to
  adjust the assessments of individual experts’ competence by representatives of the
  preliminary expert group. The main advantage of the proposed model is the simplicity
  of measurement procedures, which does not require complex and time-consuming
  training of persons involved in work. We believe this model can find wide practical
  application in the formation of projects of state and federal target programs.

  Most of modern polymer materials widely used in construction due to their high
  technical properties release into the air environment dangerous to humans and the
  environment toxic substances. Therefore, the selection of building materials which are
  safe for human health and the environment must be ensured even at the design stage of
  urban development facilities. We have considered the current legislative and regulatory
  documents in the Russian Federation that establish the requirements for safe handling
  of building materials, as well as the draft of the relevant technical regulations of the
  Customs Union. We have concluded that the formation of safe construction products’
  quality is achievable in the implementation of a set of interrelated activities that must
  be developed on the basis of stable compliance with the requirements of regulatory
  documentation that regulates the appropriate level of all phases of the facility
  construction.

  Nowadays, the world community needs standards, which implementation will ensure
  a high level of health and safety at work by building effective and reliable management
  systems. Therefore, the appearance of the draft of the new international standard ISO
  45001 in 2016 was quite expected. We have reviewed the changes and have noted the
  main advantages of the new document. We have come to the conclusion that the main
  difference between the new concept of continuous improvement from earlier models of
  management systems is that now the company management must care not only about
  its own employees, but also about partners, and also take into account the impact of the
  consequences of its current and planned activities on environment and local communities.

  In this article, we have shown that the management system in metrology provides
  the management of organization’s measuring equipment park, including the provision
  of necessary measuring instruments’ combination of different numbers. We have
  explained that with the nomenclatural optimization of the measuring equipment,
  the methods developed within the framework of the pricing theory are applicable.
  The application of the criteria for hyperbolic distributions makes it possible to provide
  information selection at optimizing the necessary resource. The pricing approach
  with the use of hyperbolic N-distribution’s criteria is expedient at the development
  of complex standards, for which the problems of mass and single optimal combination
  are becoming even more urgent than for working standards, separately in each type
  of measurement. We have proposed an approach that does not exclude the existing
  methods of optimization, but only complements them in relation to such specific
  objects as the measuring equipment of the metrology center.

  We have reviewed the modernization issues in the management system of university’s
  educational process. We have focused on the role of lean manufacturing principles that
  affect the quality of graduate training. We have determined the main directions of
  management modernization and have described the work of the Quality Council as an
  additional structural unit of the educational organization management. In our opinion,
  the results of the last two years show a significant improvement in the quality of
  educational processes in the Khanty-Mansiysk State Medical Academy. The university
  activity analysis, built in accordance with the principles of lean production, allows us to
  draw objective conclusions, understand the «losses», plan work to eliminate them, get
  constant improvements. Systemic work for improving the educational process quality
  ensures the growth of training specialists’ quality.

  On the Methodology of the Socio-Information Services Quality Evaluation on the Basis of Information Interaction Indicators

  We have presented our methodology for assessing the quality of social and information
  services based on the indicators of information interaction. We have received
  a comprehensive multicriteria assessment of such a service’s quality through the
  cumulative consideration of expert and formal approaches’ results. After analyzing
  the obtained data, we have found out that the most important criteria for assessing
  the quality of providing social and information services to the population are the
  completeness and timeliness of providing these services, the degree of solving material
  or financial problems in obtaining them, as well as non-material effectiveness /
  effectiveness of services provided to clients. We believe the introduction of the hierarchy
  analysis method allows us to justify management decisions, choose alternatives, and
  rank solutions according to the importance and urgency of implementation from the
  perspective to improve the quality of providing social and information services to the
  public.

  Errors and Uncertainties in the Calibration and Verification of Measuring Instruments of Electrical Quantities

  We have reviewed the issues of correct perception of uncertainty. We have given
  a correct interpretation of this term and correlated this concept with the error of
  measurements taken during verification of measuring instruments. The error in the
  verification of measuring instruments is determined on the basis of single measurements
  and has a plus or minus sign. At calibrating the measuring instruments, there is a need to
  determine uncertainty, which requires the investigation of metrological characteristics
  and it is characterized by a range. It breaks the balance between verification and
  calibration. We have offered considering the conditions under which calibration results
  of measuring instruments can be used for verification and at the same time comply with
  the legal requirements for confirming compliance of this measuring instrument with
  metrological requirements. We have presented a mathematical model of calibration,
  which will formulate the requirements allowing using the results of measuring
  instrument’s calibration during verification.

  Experimental Study of Modern Digital Measuring Device’s Errors

  Authors: Dr. N.N. Vostroknutov, Senior Researcher, Associate Professor, Department of Electrical Measurements, FSAEI FVT ASMS, Moscow, Russia, vostrkit@yandex.ru
  

  In this work, I have determined that the possibility of extending a number of
  requirements of the widely known document MI 1202–86 «Digital instruments
  and measuring transducers of voltage, current and resistance. General technical
  requirements and methods of tests» on modern microprocessor-based digital measuring
  instruments is beyond doubt. However, the possibility of extending to such devices
  some of the other requirements of this document, for example, on the rules for choosing
  verified indications, needs to be checked and clarified. In this article I have presented
  the data obtained during the experimental studies of dependence of modern digital
  device’s error on the measured quantity’s value. Appropriate changes and additions
  to the methodology for selecting the indications verified during verification of such
  devices according to MI 1202–86 are proposed on the basis of these data.
