A new sewage system with best value procurement van de rijt & van den hoogen ...Jeroen Van de Rijt
he adoption rate of the BVP/PIPS or the Best Value approach (Kashiwagi 2010) has been rather high in the Netherlands (van de Rijt & Santema 2012). One of the largest industrial companies in the Netherlands, Tata Steel in IJmuiden (part of Tata Steel Group) has applied the principles of BVP/PIPS to select a vendor for a sewer renovation. BVP/PIPS is a procurement method that aims to select the most suitable vendor for the job, to spur this vendor on to highest performance, and to reduce the client’s management and control tasks. The case shows that a different way of procuring by the client leads to different behavior of the vendor and to a higher performance of the vendor and less risk.

Motion in the Middle: RubyMotion as a Gateway to Mobile DevelopmentMatthew Salerno
In the past year or so, RubyMotion (RM) has gained its share of both adherents and skeptics. Some criticize RM for being too far removed from the underlying Cocoa frameworks, while others claim the toolchain isn’t "Ruby" enough. While there is certainly merit to these conflicting objections, it is because of these supposed flaws, and not in spite of them, that RubyMotion is an excellent tool for producing iOS apps. By leveraging both the power of the Objective-C frameworks and the speed and expressiveness of Ruby (not to mention opening up the iOS ecosystem to the historically prolific open source Ruby community), RM has the potential to greatly expand the iOS developer base and change the mobile landscape for the better. In his talk, "Motion in the Middle," Matthew discusses the ways in which RubyMotion enables elegant, Ruby-esque design while exposing enough of the iOS/Cocoa frameworks to allow for wide-ranging and highly extendable applications.
This document summarizes a study that examined the technological literacy, internet access, and internet usage of 200 English students at a university in Mexico. The study found that the students had a basic level of technological literacy, and that skills requiring a higher degree of competence had lower levels of proficiency. The author supported these conclusions by analyzing previous research on technological literacy and citing the theoretical perspective of Van Dijk. Some weaknesses identified were that the study only looked at socioeconomic factors and did not consider other important influences like computer access, schooling, or student interest in academics. The author did not make any implicit assumptions, instead basing the analysis on literature and established theories.

The rough cut music video analyzes genre characteristics of pop music, including editing on the beat, close-up shots, stylistic editing, and casual outfits. It aims to show a relationship between the visuals and lyrics by filming in locations relating to the lyrics. It also matches the pace of editing and lighting to the slow music. The video attempts to sell the artist as a young, trendy woman in love through her expressions, fashion, and natural appearance. Elements like brick wall shots and sped-up footage reference other music videos. Close-up shots of the artist's emotions allow the audience to view her as a sentimental person rather than an object.
