DYNAMICS AND IMPACT OF DIGITAL FOOTPRINT ON PROJECT SUCCESS
Authors: Bushuyev S. , Onyshchenko S. , Bushuiev D. , Bushuieva V. , Bushuyeva N.
Published: October 2021

The digital footprint of the project is its integral characteristic, reflecting both the “official” information on the project, unnecessary and any mention of the project including social networks and other Internet resources. An entropy model for assessing the success of a project is proposed. The model covers the content (semantic part), its environment, and the dynamics of implementation. The increase in informational entropy (uncertainty) of the project cannot be estimated as the sum of the increase in entropy associated with each element of the digital footprint. The main reason for this is the synergy inherent in the digital footprint. Separately insignificant elements of a digital footprint of a project of a negative nature, with their significant number and periodic appearance, cause a “snowball” effect, which leads to an increase and exaggeration of small destructive effects of individual digital footprints. Therefore, it makes no sense to consider the increase in information entropy for each element of the digital footprint of the project, but it is necessary to consider the impact of each new element of the digital footprint on the information entropy of the project. Each element of an active digital footprint is formed on time and meets the necessary requirements. The organized formation of a digital footprint promotes order in documentation, timely awareness of risks, the formation of the required level of demand for a project product, and a proactive assessment of success. The digital footprint should also help attract new stakeholders to create a favorable project image and promote the project’s product. The fulfillment of this set of conditions ensures a decrease in entropy and, as a result, the success of the project. Conversely, if active and passive digital traces of a project increase entropy, then the likelihood of project success is reduced.

Published: October 2021

This study presents preliminary results of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the organization of education in universities, the transition to distance learning, the approach of students to the educational process, and their social life during online learning. The analysis shows the relevance of the selected research topic and requires further study in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the significant problems caused by the coronavirus, in general, universities have adapted to the current situation. Due to the ongoing mutations of the virus, it is not known how long the pandemic will last, so the ongoing research is important for improving the quality of education in universities in the future. Various techniques were used to collect data based on the current situation in order to reduce the likelihood of contracting the coronavirus. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected from students at various universities through an online survey disseminated through social media platforms. Collecting information took the most time. An online survey was used to collect quantitative data. Based on the qualitative data, interviews were conducted with students who had already completed an online questionnaire. Based on the results obtained, proposals were made to improve the organization of online education, attention was drawn to the need to prepare curricula and training courses for online teaching instructors and psychological support for students from universities in our country. In the future, it is planned to continue research and compare the changes with current indicators. Also, the faculty was not covered, which affects the emotional state of students and therefore requires additional attention.
NEURAL NETWORK MODELING AND OPTIMISING OF THE AGGLOMERATION PROCESS OF SULPHIDE POLYMETALLIC ORES
Authors: Abitova G. , Nikulin V. , Zadenova T.
Published: October 2021

During the operation of the lead-zinc production while processing of polymetallic ores, problems arose related to the quality of products and the efficient use of equipment – agglomeration furnace and crushing apparatus. Previously, such issues were resolved due to the experiences and based on mathematical modeling of processes. The mathematical model for optimizing unnecessary such operating mode is a difficult program. Performing calculations is required a fairly large investment of time and resources. Therefore, the program of the mathematical model for optimizing the operating mode of the agglomeration furnace and the crushing device for sinter firing was replaced with a neural network by implementing the process of training the network based on the results of calculations on a mathematical model. The results obtained showed that neural network models were more accurate than mathematical models, which made it possible to solve production optimization problems of great complexity. The use of neural networks for modeling technological processes has made it possible to increase the efficiency of product quality control systems and automatic control systems for the roasting of sulfide polymetallic ores.

The Active Fraction of Massive Black Holes in Dwarf Galaxies
Authors: Pacucci Fabio , Mezcua Mar , Regan John A.
Published: October 2021

The population of massive black holes (MBHs) in dwarf galaxies is elusive, but fundamentally important to understand the coevolution of black holes with their hosts and the formation of the first collapsed objects in the universe. While some progress was made in determining the X-ray detected fraction of MBHs in dwarfs, with typical values ranging from 0%–6%, their overall active fraction,

, is still largely unconstrained. Here, we develop a theoretical model to predict the multiwavelength active fraction of MBHs in dwarf galaxies starting from first principles and based on the physical properties of the host, namely, its stellar mass and angular momentum content. We find multiwavelength active fractions for MBHs, accreting at typically low rates, ranging from 5%–22%, and increasing with the stellar mass of the host as

Additionally, we provide a fitting formula to predict the probability of finding an active MBH in a dwarf galaxy from observationally derived data. This model will be instrumental to guide future observational efforts to find MBHs in dwarfs. The James Webb Space Telescope, in particular, will play a crucial role in detecting MBHs in dwarfs, possibly uncovering active fractions ∼3 times larger than current X-ray surveys.

Published: October 2021

Variability in young stellar objects (YSOs) can be caused by various time-dependent phenomena associated with star formation, including accretion rates, geometric changes in the circumstellar disks, stochastic hydromagnetic interactions between stellar surfaces and inner-disk edges, reconnections within the stellar magnetosphere, and hot/cold spots on stellar surfaces. We uncover and characterize ∼1700 variables from a sample of ∼5400 YSOs in nearby low-mass star-forming regions using mid-IR light curves obtained from the 6.5 yr Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer All Sky Survey. The mid-IR variability traces a wide range of dynamical, physical, and geometrical phenomenon. We classify six types of YSO mid-IR variability based on their light curves: secular variability (linear, curved, and periodic) and stochastic variability (burst, drop, and irregular). YSOs in earlier evolutionary stages have higher fractions of variables and higher amplitudes for the variability, with the recurrence timescale of FUor-type outbursts (defined here as ΔW1 or ΔW2 > 1 mag followed by inspection of candidates) of ∼1000 yr in the early embedded protostellar phase. Known eruptive young stars and subluminous objects show fractions of variables similar to the fraction (∼55%) found in typical protostars, suggesting that these two distinct types are not distinct in variability over the 6.5 yr timescale. Along with brightness variability, we also find a diverse range of secular color variations, which can be attributed to a competitive interplay between the variable accretion luminosity of the central source and the variable extinction by material associated with the accretion process.

Evidence that multiple populations (MPs) are common properties of globular clusters (GCs) has accumulated over the past decades from clusters in the Milky Way and in its satellites. This finding has revived research into GCs, and suggested that their formation at high redshift must have been a much more complex phenomenon than imagined before. However, most information on MPs is limited to nearby GCs. The main limitation is that most studies of MPs rely on resolved stars, posing a major challenge to the investigation of the MP phenomenon in distant galaxies. Here we search for integrated colors of old GCs that are sensitive to the MP phenomenon. To do this, we exploit integrated magnitudes of simulated GCs with MPs, and multiband Hubble Space Telescope photometry of 56 Galactic GCs, where MPs are widely studied, and characterized as part of the UV Legacy Survey of Galactic GCs. We find that both integrated C
F275W,F336W,F438W and m
F275W − m
F814W colors strongly correlate with the iron abundance of the host GC. To second order, the pseudo two-color diagram built with these integrated colors is sensitive to the MP phenomenon. In particular, once the dependence on cluster metallicity is removed, the color residuals depend on the maximum internal helium variation within GCs and on the fraction of second-generation stars. This diagram, which we define here for Galactic GCs, has the potential to detect and characterize MPs from integrated photometry of old GCs, thus providing the possibility to extend their investigation outside the Local Group.
Empirically Determining Substellar Cloud Compositions in the Era of the James Webb Space Telescope
Authors: Luna Jessica L. , Morley Caroline V.
Published: October 2021

Most brown dwarfs have atmospheres with temperatures cold enough to form clouds. A variety of materials likely condense, including refractory metal oxides and silicates; the precise compositions and crystal structures of predicted cloud particles depend on the modeling framework used and have not yet been empirically constrained. Spitzer has shown tentative evidence of the silicate feature in L dwarf spectra and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) can measure these features in many L dwarfs. Here, we present new models to predict the signatures of the strongest cloud absorption features. We investigate different cloud mineral species and determine how particle size, mineralogy, and crystalline structure change spectral features. We find that silicate and refractory clouds have a strong cloud absorption feature for small particle sizes (≤1 μm). Model spectra are compared to five brown dwarfs that show evidence of the silicate feature; models that include small particles in the upper layers of the atmosphere produce a broad cloud mineral feature, and that better match the observed spectra than the Ackerman & Marley cloud model. We simulate observations with the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) instrument on JWST for a range of nearby, cloudy brown dwarfs, demonstrating that these features could be readily detectable if small particles are present. Furthermore, for photometrically variable brown dwarfs, our predictions suggest that with JWST, by measuring spectroscopic variability inside and outside a mineral feature, we can establish silicate (or other) clouds as the cause of variability. Mid-infrared spectroscopy is a promising tool to empirically constrain the complex cloud condensation sequence in brown dwarf atmospheres.
Photometry and Kinematics of Self-gravitating Eccentric Nuclear Disks
Authors: Wernke Heather N. , Madigan Ann-Marie
Published: October 2021

The Andromeda galaxy hosts an elongated nucleus with (at least) two distinct brightness peaks. The double nucleus can be explained by the projection of a thick, apsidally aligned eccentric nuclear disk of stars in orbit about the central black hole. Several nearby early-type galaxies have similar asymmetric nuclear features, indicating the possible presence of eccentric nuclear disks. We create simulated photometric (surface density) and kinematic (line-of-sight velocity) maps of eccentric nuclear disks using N-body simulations. We image our simulations from various lines of sight in order to classify them as double nuclei, offset nuclei, and centered nuclei. We explore the effects of mass segregation on the photometric maps, finding that heavier stars are concentrated in the brighter peak. The average line-of-sight velocity values are lower in an eccentric nuclear disk than for a circular ring about the supermassive black hole. The velocity dispersion values are higher and peak at the position of the supermassive black hole, which does not typically match the peak in photometry.

Published: October 2021

BACKGROUND: The breastfeeding intention of female students plays an important role in the formation of breastfeeding behavior in the future. Lack of attention to this, both owned by students and those around them, can reduce breastfeeding practices when they become mothers later. Moreover, the process of forming intentions to manifest into behavior takes a long time. Students are considered as an educated group who are expected to be role models in breastfeeding practices in the community.

AIM: This study intended to examine the relationship between knowledge, subjective norms, and perceptions (benefits, barriers, and vulnerabilities) toward exclusive breastfeeding intention on female college students of the Public Health department on Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta.

METHODS: A college basis cross-sectional study was conducted in March 2021. The samples were 187 female students who were willing to participate in the study. The selection of samples using a proportional random sampling technique. Data were collected online questionnaires through an online survey platform. A multi logistic regression test was deployed to examine the exclusive breastfeeding intention and its associated factors on a 95% confidence interval.

RESULTS: Results show that subjective norm is significantly associated with breastfeeding intention (p < 0.05). Students who had supportive subjective norm twice likely to had the intention to practice exclusive breastfeeding OR value 2.22 95% CI (1.07–4.06).

CONCLUSION: Overall, the intention to exclusively breastfed their child was related to the student’s subjective norm. The results of this study have an impact on female students to strengthen their intentions and increase their efforts to plan exclusive breastfeeding when they become mothers. Hence, educational communication is needed to the environment around young women regarding the importance of exclusive breastfeeding so that the social environment can provide support to adolescents in the success of exclusive breastfeeding.

BACKGROUND: The current environmental issue that concerns us all is the use of peatland for oil palm plantations. This damages the peatland ecosystem, even though peatland are very important in the hydrological system of the downstream area of a watershed. One of the impacts of the destruction of the peat ecosystem is the occurrence of flooding in the downstream watershed. In addition, if forest and peatland fires occur, it will cause CO2 emissions, thereby disrupting public health.

AIM: The purpose of this research is to develop the concept of environmental health. The focus of this research is improving environmental health in communities on peatlands.

METHODS: The research method used was qualitative where data collection was done through interviews, observation, and documentation.

RESULTS: The findings of this study are that the research location is dominated by oil palm plantations which have a negative impact on public health.

CONCLUSION: Based on these findings, the development of the concept of environmental health is the interaction between the environment, economy, society, and society to improve the quality of life.

Published: October 2021

Petroleum and petroleum-based products are highly beneficial for our daily life system. Functioning of several industries and machineries directly depends on different forms of petroleum. There are strong possibilities of the release of such petroleum and petroleum-based compounds like aliphatic as well as aromatic hydrocarbons during their refining process, usage, storage, transport, and other activities due to the accidents, leakages, or just a little lack of awareness. Their exposure to soils or water causes serious problems for aquatic as well as human beings. The efficient removal or detoxification of such pollutants is the demand of the present time. The use of microbial sources for the bioremediation of such petroleum wastes may be promising technique because it does not require any drastic conditions for detoxification process and by-products produced by them are also harmless unlike chemical and other techniques. In this regard, this chapter discusses the enzymatic role in detoxification or bioremediation of petroleum-based hydrocarbons.

Published: October 2021

The tanning Industry is considered to be a major source of pollution and tannery wastewater in particular is a potential environmental concern. Wastewaters produced by tanneries contain high concentration of inorganic and organic pollutant. The pollutants of concern within the tanning industry include Azodyes, Cadmium compounds, Cobalt, Copper, Antimony, Barium, Lead, Selenium, Mercury, Zinc, Arsenic, Polychlorinated Biphyenls (PCB), Nickel, Formaldehyde resins, and Pesticides residues. Because tannery wastewater contains a complexity of pollutants including chromium and chlorinated phenols as indicated earlier, it is vital to dissect the toxic nature of such wastewater both to understand its environmental impacts and identify potential remediation strategies. Furthermore, there are strict regulations imposed for the environmental control of pollutants such as heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants. In this chapter, the authors discuss the demethylation process of Arsenic and Nickel from Tannery Effluent.

The primary functions of ecosystems, wherever located, or whatever their constituents on earth, are to sustain life. They provide vital needs, commonly described as “ecological services,” for all the living things residing within that particular system, or for those on its fringes. Such services include shelter, food, maintaining soils and hydrology, and providing livelihoods for its dwellers. Water is considered an important resource for mankind and other living organisms. Therefore, maintaining the water to a high quality is crucial. Bioremediation of heavy metals and micro pollutants by microorganisms (algae, bacteria, fungi, and yeast) has been used for the last two decades. All micro-organisms and microalgae are gaining increasing attention because microalgae can easily grow and is cheap to process and able to accumulate high metal content.
SEZs and China's Development Promotion
Authors: Rodrigues Carlos , Steenhagen Pedro
Published: October 2021

SEZs in China have been considered a successful experience and an important tool not only to attract foreign investment in an ordered manner but also to stimulate economic growth, generate social benefits, and to experiment innovative policies. The country-specific approach, discarding a “one-size-fits-all” model, is one of the elements that enabled Chinese SEZs to thrive. Policy experimentation, a smaller level of risk aversion, if compared to developed countries, and a mixture of top-down and bottom-up decision processes between local and central governments reflect a dynamic environment attractive to developing nations. This attraction finds nourishment in the pragmatic international cooperation with Chinese characteristics. This chapter explores the role the Belt and Road Initiative can play in exporting the Chinese SEZ “model,” especially, in African countries. By scrutinising the adaptability of the Chinese “model” to different contexts, it tackles the potential accrued to SEZs' implementation in BRI nations in terms of the advancement of new policymaking procedures.

Authors: Basnet Parita , Jha Pankaj Kumar , Gupta Amlan , Chatterjee Somenath
Published: October 2021

The spontaneous progress in scientific bases to combat infections resulting from pathogenic microbial colonies has led to the development of nanomaterials capped with plant phytochemicals that possess exceptional bacterial growth resistance. In this study, the Authors report an economical biogenic synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles and its nanocomposites with silver, gold, and silver-gold bimetal to evaluate their antibacterial potency towards bacterial colonies. Further, these nanomaterials were functionalized with tea-phytochemicals for cost-effective synthesis, as a biogenic capping and reducing agent, for modulating the growth kinetics of nanomaterials, and because of their synergy with the nanomaterials in improving their antibacterial property. The identification of the biosynthesized nanomaterials was performed through various microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. The model microbes chosen to undergo this study were Escherichia coli, a gram-negative bacterium, and Staphylococcus aureus, a gram-positive bacterium. Based on the anti-bacterial essay, certain factors, such as the nature of the bacteria and nanomaterials, the production rates of superoxide radicals, etc. determined the extent of microbial growth inhibition.

The cemetery in Nižná Myšľa is one of the most important funerary sites in Early Bronze Age Central Europe. Many years of excavations led to the discovery of nearly 800 graves associated with the Otomani-Füzesabony culture. The presented paper is an attempt to reconstruct the spatial development of the cemetery, based on statistical analyses of grave goods and using the latest findings concerning the absolute chronology of selected categories of finds. A significant role in the analyses was played by female burials, in which numerous objects were discovered, which were evidence of the relatively high status of women in the local community. This provided the authors with a basis for discussion with regard to the dominant male-oriented narratives concerning the communities of fortified settlements.

Project Management in a Projectified Pandemic Reality – the Autoethnography of the Project Michał Wójciak – Open Studio

The main aim of the paper is to describe the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the project management process and on projectification. Two research questions are posed: How does the COVID-19 pandemic affect the project management process and projectification? and What are the implications of projectification for the individuals? For this purpose, the author uses autoethnography, which is a research method based on the researcher’s personal experience. The subject of the study covered the project of an open fashion design studio launched as part of the Creative Scholarships of the City of Cracow 2020 in the period from July to December 2020. On the one hand, the pandemic was an impediment to the project, which is why it was necessary to adjust the planned activities to the imposed restrictions; on the other hand, the pandemic inspired certain project events, i.e. organisation of the masquerade ball.

Paulicians in Byzantium: The fleeing and the displaced
Paulicians, treated as Manicheans and persecuted in Armenia and the Byzantine Empire, escaped to the Arab-occupied territories where they established a state (843–878) and kept invading Byzantium in alliance with the Emirs of Melitene. Eventually Basil I (867–886) was able to defeat John Chrisocheiros and capture Tefrike. Constantine V, Basil I and John Tzimiskes drafted Paulicians into the Byzantine army and got them relocated to the territory of the empire, hoping to use their military potential to defend the borders against the Bulgarians. Consequently, a substantial group of Paulicians found themselves in the Balkans. According to some scholars they were the predecessors of the Bogomil heresy.

Elites of The Second Polish Republic among the war refugees in Iran (1942–1945)
During the World War II Iran was an important centre of Polish war refugee communities. Members of Poland’s social elites (intelligentsia and also landed gentry to a certain degree) who had experienced Soviet repressions played a key role in establishing and operating a network of Polish institutions and organisations in Iran. The author focuses on profiles of members of various professional groups and examines their significance in activity of Polish governmental apparatus (social welfare, education) as well as cultural, educational and political organisations.

Attitudes of inhabitants of the Eastern Counties of the Warsaw District who saved child prisoners of the German transit camp in Zamość in 1942–1943
In December 1942 and in the following two winter months of 1943 during the race selection at transit camp in Zamość (UWZ-Lager Zamosc), Germans deported about 3,500 Polish children, who qualified as “racially worthless” from the camp. Most of them were separated from their parents. After a stay of several days or several weeks at the camp, having been crammed into unheated freight carriages, they arrived in six “death transports” to three poviats: Garwolin, Siedlce and Mińsk Mazowiecki, located in the eastern part of the Warsaw district. The article presents the attitudes of Poles rushing to save the children, disregarding the difficulties that occurred at that time in the face of the prolonged war and German terror. Both the inhabitants of the area known by surnames and those who are now nameless, joined the rescue operation. Their determination, commitment, and sacrifice during the relief operation that lasted for many months under the occupation up until the end of the war, deserve emphasis. Undoubtedly, it was a show of huge selflessness of people of goodwill to save the lives of innocent and defenceless Polish children from the Zamość region.
О кавычках, скобках и не только… в русском тексте XIX в. Часть I. К вопросу о роли «тире» в текстах периодической печати

The history of punctuation marks in a certain sense reflects the history of the Russian literary text as a structurally organized unity for the expression of the author’s intention. It is considered that in the 19th-century Russian punctuation attracted much less attention than disordered spelling. Therefore, it seems important to analyze the structural and semantic significance of such a punctuation mark as dash in the 19th-century Russian text, which ensures the implementation of logical, semantic, emphasis-emphasizing, emotionally expressive functions. The conclusions presented in the article are based on observations of the use of the aforementioned punctuation mark in deep connection with meaning and stylistics in texts of a specific genre.
Парцеллированные предложения в современном русском и польском языках

The present article concentrates on different types of Russian and Polish parcelled constructions.
Parcelling is one of the expressive syntactic means and is defined as the division of the sentence structure into several intonation-separated parts. A parcelled construction consists of the basic (main) part, which is a structurally, syntactically and semantically independent sentence, and the partcellator – syntactically and semantically dependent on the main part. Parcelling occurs on the level of a simple sentence as well as on the level of a compound sentence. This phenomenon is used in order to select the most important information and to attract the addressee’s attention.

The search for competitive strategies has aroused the interest for process improvements in several sectors of the economy. In this sense, many maturity models (MM) have been developed and applied as an organizational management tool, including for the Architecture, Engineering and Construction Industry (AEC). In the literature, some of the models for the construction industry already analyze concepts of Lean Construction, Green and Building Information Model (BIM) separately or two by two, but there are few studies that relate the three concepts. In this way, this article aims to identify scientific publications that relate maturity matrix with the Lean, BIM and Green concepts separately and in combination. Thus, from the systematic mapping of the literature were found 105 scientific publications indexed in the bases of Compendex ™, Scopus®, and Web of Science ™. By the distribution of the publications by levels, a trend of concentration of the researches in models of maturity that approach these concepts of individualized way was perceived. In this way, it is evident that there is knowledge gap, mainly, regarding the maturity matrix approach involving the three concepts.
Aproximações conceituais do BIM x LIM

The Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been increasingly more discussed due to the benefits it generates to civil construction since one of its advantages are the reductions that a BIM process can bring to the builder during the execution stage of an enterprise. In parallel to the BIM, there is the Lean Information Management (LIM), this concept aims the lean management of the information’s of a process, that searches for mitigating the excess or lack of information, quality warranty, and transparency of it. Considering the existence of these two scenarios, BIM and LIM, this paper aims to bring a conceptual approximation between both throughout the information management optics. The aim of this paper is to show the similarities between those two concepts, that even having different structures have the same aim, quality, and productivity. This paper used a literature review method searching for keywords, applying a filter to search for the approximation of them. As a conclusion, this article shows that there are similarities between those concepts and that is possible to do further research about the approximation between them and the benefits that both bring to civil construction.
Sistemas construtivos pré fabricados: uma abordagem Enxuta

With the advent of the 4th industrial revolution and disruption with traditional methods of construction, the pre-fabrication of constructive systems has never been so prominent. The competitiveness of the sector and the complexity of the projects have increased substantially, so that the survival of companies in this sector is associated with their ability to optimize resources and decrease the waste of their production. Thus, the application of Lean Manufacturing concepts, which focus on waste reduction, presents itself as an alternative not only viable, to provide mapping and waste reduction tools, but also desirable, by philosophically approaching the entire system in the which the company is inserted, positively impacting the company culture. The objective of this work is to indicate, within a flow chart of activities of a real company, points where Lean concepts and tools would add value to the process. To this end, the production stages were raised, detailing the macro-processes of armature, set-up of forms, concreting and preparation for shipment, in order to identify points where some of the tools of Lean's philosophy could be applied.
Manual do proprietário: evolução da adequação à norma de desempenho

The Use, Maintenance and Operation Manual is a crucial tool so that a building can keep its good performance through the years and reach its projected lifespan. The informations contained in it represent an important link between the steps of production and use of the building. However, despite its relevance, the concoction of such an important document is, many times, neglected by the builders. Therefore, with the requirements of the standard ABNT NBR 15575, it was expected a gradual improvement of the manuals – previous to the norm taking effect in July 2013 – and for them to mature in content – after mandatory normative compliance. This study aimed to assess the evolution of the level of compliance of the owner’s manuals delivered at buildings in Sergipe between 2009 and 2016 – under the requirements of NBRs 5674/12, 15575/13, and 14037/14. For that, the manuals were scored using the method proposed by Santos and Schmitt (2003); the results were statistically analyzed based on evolution and, finally, classified by levels of quality. The results show that there has been no significative evolution of the assessed manuals through the years, getting unsatisfatory grading at complying with the normative requirements.
Análise da colaboração no planejamento

Published: October 2021

A colaboração, entre as diversas pessoas e processos envolvidos nos empreendimentos da construção civil, é essencial para o planejamento. Há diversos conceitos sobre colaboração na literatura, sendo necessária maior compreensão sobre ela no contexto do planejamento de obras da construção. Nesse contexto, o objetivo desse trabalho é analisar a colaboração que ocorre no Planejamento e Controle da Produção (PCP) de uma obra. Foi realizado um Estudo de Caso em uma obra residencial multifamiliar de uma empresa de grande porte, cujas fontes de evidência foram entrevistas, análise de documentos e observação direta. A análise dos dados consistiu na análise de conteúdo, com o auxílio do software ATLAS.ti. A transparência foi o constructo de colaboração mais citado, isso pois a empresa implementa diversos dispositivos de gestão visual e de compartilhamento de informações. O segundo constructo mais associado à colaboração foi o comprometimento, que envolve o engajamento dos envolvidos e a execução das tarefas pelas equipes de produção com qualidade e no prazo estimado. A principal contribuição do trabalho foi a síntese, com base na literatura, dos diferentes constructos e aspectos de colaboração e, a partir dos dados obtidos no estudo de caso, de evidências que exemplificam na prática o conceito de colaboração.

Published: October 2021

As perdas por making-do acontecem quando uma atividade se inicia sem ter todos os requisitos necessários para sua execução ou conclusão. Levantamentos indicam que 49% das perdas ocasionadas em canteiros de obras relacionam-se ao making-do. Tais perdas geram impactos na segurança, na qualidade e no planejamento da obra. O objetivo deste trabalho é propor diretrizes para diminuir e/ou eliminar as perdas por making-do. Inicialmente foi realizada uma revisão sistemática da literatura com o intuito de se compreender o tema da pesquisa em amplitude. Posteriormente, a partir da revisão bibliográfica e com a experiência prévia dos autores foi construída uma tabela com os problemas apontados na literatura e definidas diretrizes que buscam reunir soluções para as reduzir e/ou evitar as perdas por making-do. Como resultados, confirmou-se a viabilidade da proposição e implantação das diretrizes e percebeu-se que os artigos que apresentavam problemas causados por making-do não apresentavam possíveis soluções para os mesmos.
