Authors: Abu Daqar Yousef
Published: February 2025

Question: What are the current behavioral features of the local construction sector? Which practices can be improved to overcome the low productivity of the construction sector in Kuwait? What is the present Lean Construction (LC) behavioral conformity levels of the Kuwaiti construction sector? How resilient is the sector in adapting LC?

Purpose: The aim and purpose of this research is limited to investigating the extent of LC application in behavioral practices using a lean assessment tool developed by Diekmann et al. (2004) to be able to quantify and analyze both the conformity and non-conformity levels to LC, and finally determine the sector’s readiness in adapting LC more extensively.

Research Method: A mono method quantitative methodology was deployed to collect and analyze data from 55 self-completed surveys.

Findings: The research indicates that the sector exhibits low to moderate levels of conformity to LC in its behavioral aspects of operations, management, and organization. Moreover, the highest scoring main LC principle is Continuous Improvement/Built-in-Quality, and Culture/People is the lowest. This suggests that the sector is familiar to some degree to LC and has good potential to further implement it.

Limitations: The survey was distributed to respondents in Kuwait using a non-probability sampling technique, the snowball sampling method. The results are solely based on the feedback given by the participants which might cause some bias in the results.

Implications: The paper highlighted the current behavioral shortcomings the sector is projecting in conjunction to the ideal LC practices, LC levels of spread and application, Lean adaptability levels, and have created a benchmark about these points for upcoming research of Kuwait’s construction sector.

Value for practitioners: The Kuwaiti construction sector can utilize the findings to develop and/or enhance their operations, management and organization approaches using Lean thinking and principles of practice to increase their productivity, competitiveness, overcome the common construction predicaments and are meeting customer’s requirements in cost, quality and timely delivery.

Keywords: Lean Construction, Lean Construction Conformance, Kuwait, Vision 2035, culture, operation, management, organization.

The theme of God's provision in limitations is highly relevant to theology students, who often face various challenges in their academic and spiritual journeys. The story in 2 Kings 4:42-44, where the prophet Elisha distributes twenty barley loaves to a hundred people, provides a powerful illustration of how God can turn limitations into blessings. Theology students often feel inexperienced and limited in resources to serve the community, but Elisha's example teaches that intention and trust in God are far more important than the amount of resources one has. Limitations can also trigger a crisis of faith, especially when the demands of academics and daily life increase. Therefore, it is important for students to realize that limitations are not obstacles to God, but opportunities to experience His love and power. This paper aims to explore how God's provision in limitations can be the basis for learning faith that shapes the character and ministry of theology students. By understanding this concept, it is hoped that students can serve sincerely and trust in God in every aspect of their lives.

An environmentally friendly fuel with great potential for use in transportation and industry is B40 biodiesel. It is a mixture of 60% diesel and 40% biodiesel. With an emphasis on engine performance, environmental impact, and financial incentives, the study assesses how beneficial its use can be. According to the findings, B40 biodiesel burns better and produces fewer carbon emissions compared to pure diesel because it has a higher cetane number. However, fuel consumption may increase due to the much lower energy content of biodiesel. B40 requires more maintenance to avoid hygroscopic effects, but it has been shown to improve lubrication and support heavy equipment operations in industrial environments. Implementing B40 has several benefits, including the ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Attributes or Tags for Files? AttFS: Bringing Attributes to the Hierarchical File System
Authors: Nehad Albadri
Published: February 2025

File systems are key operating system components because they store and retrieve files as needed. Traditional hierarchical file systems no longer suit current users’ expectations in organizing extensive collections of files for easy retrieval based on intrinsic and user-defined properties. The number of files in users’ collections is growing substantially, partly because of the ease with which consumer devices capture information. With the enormous capacity of contemporary storage devices and the rising trend of users storing their data in the cloud, they only fuel the number of files needing to be managed. We suggest that current file systems require an enhanced technique of data organization and access so that users can properly handle these ever-increasing data collections. File systems are key operating system components because they store and retrieve files as needed. This study offers improvements to the conventional Hierarchical File System to improve file organization and retrieval through built-in querying capabilities and support filesystem-level operations that execute significant amounts of metadata updates. This is accomplished using attributes (name-value pairs) in a file collection hierarchy. A series of improvements to the HFS introduce the “AttFS” file system. These improvements include using attributes rather than names, logical collections rather than directories, and introducing a query language to the API. We assess the expressive capacity of the resulting model, demonstrate that it solves the relevant shortcomings of traditional file systems in this space, and compare our new approach to those provided by others and our earlier work. We conclude that attributes are better suited than tags to overcome traditional HFS shortcomings.
