Scope management in the form of reduction lists was integrated in the quality assurance scheme for Norwegian public projects in 2001. This article presents findings on the actual use of reduction lists for major public construction projects Project representatives were contacted to obtain information about the actual use of pre-defined potential scope reductions. Eight of the 14 studied projects did not implement any of the predefined reductions. Six projects implemented some of the reductions. The scope reductions on the reduction lists are very specific and detailed, unlike general theory on scope management and cost control. However, the findings from the study are in line with the general theory; it was the most general scope and cost reductions that where used in practice. The study subsequently looked into the relationship between scope reductions and sustainability. Although the most frequently observed reduction was of the category “reduced quality or functionality”, sustainability was rarely affected with the notable exception of the railway infrastructure projects.

Abstract We assessed the LKB "Delfia" (time-resolved dissociation-enhanced lanthanide fluoroimmunoassay) and the Amersham "Amerlite" (enhanced luminescent immunometry) assays of thyrotropin in serum. Both assays are sensitive (respective detection limits: 0.02 and 0.04 milli-int. unit/L) and have very good within- and between-batch precision over a wide range of thyrotropin concentrations. Results by the two methods correlate well (r = 0.992); the regression equation is: Amerlite = 0.915 Delfia - 0.33 milli-int. unit/L. The standard curve for the Delfia assay was linear, but that for the Amerlite assay showed some deviation from linearity below 0.5 milli-int. unit/L. Both assays have a negative bias in comparison with radiolabeled immunoradiometric assays, as judged by results for samples from the Quality Assurance Scheme. Both assays discriminate well between hyper-, hypo-, and euthyroid subjects, and results for thyrotropin for most patients with nonthyroidal illness were within the euthyroid reference interval. Both assays are convenient to perform and are based on systems that provide a viable alternative to radioimmunoassay.
