Despite the huge investment made by Tanzania government in the road sector development, the participation of local civil works contractors in developing road infrastructure is not satisfactory and is reported to be less by value of the total works undertaken annually in the country. The extent to which local contractors participate in the development of road infrastructure in Tanzania leaves many questions behind, and the factors of their deficient participation are not well established. The objective of this study is to identify the significant factors of deficient participation of local civil works contractors in carrying out bituminous road works in Tanzania and suggest the appropriate means to improve their participation. The methodology used in this study includes critical review of literature, road project reports from Tanroads and discussions with road sector stakeholders. Results from forty four (44) randomly selected bituminous trunk road projects awarded by Tanroads between 2003 and 2012 shows that, only 16 % of all bituminous road projects were awarded to local civil works contractors and the remaining 84% were awarded to foreign contractors. Moreover, participation of local civil works contractors is less by 10% by value of the total works undertaken annually in the country. Further, the study revealed that, inadequate participation of local civil works contractors is predominantly associated with problems such as inadequate capital, low financial capacity, inadequate work opportunities, lack of appropriate construction equipment and plant, lack of skilled personnel and inadequate management skills. However, collective efforts by government and other construction industry stakeholders are needed to increase effective participation of local contractors in the development of road infrastructure in the country. The authors hope that the findings from the current study will increase the stakeholders’ awareness on the participation of local civil works contractors in executing bituminous road works in the country.

Rural public infrastructure projects are essential as a catalyst for balanced development between urban and rural as well as tools for enhancing the living standard of rural poor. This study focuses on the identification of factors that influence the governance practices in a rural road project in Malaysia. A single case study was conducted from the perspective of a stewardship theoretical lens on a rural road project in East Malaysia, and multiple sources of evidence were used for data collection. The study discovered four main factors, namely intrinsic motivation, altruistic empathy, effective leadership, and shared vision that influence project governance practices in this project. Thus, this article contributes to the understanding of interdependencies of these factors, which drives public officials in different project actors for effective delivery in this project context. The study findings are limited concerning the utilization of a single case study related to the rural road project and its contexts.

Authors:   Department of Civil Engineering, School of Engineering, Presidency University, Bangalore - 560 064, INDIA, Goswami Amiya P.
Published: March 2022

Potential valorisation of fly ash powders is examined for scalable production of in-situ cast structural member with ambient cured alkali-activated geopolymer concrete. The critical issue of strength variation has been investigated by correlating with the physical and chemical properties of the original fly ash affecting water demand in mix proportion. A Class-F fly ash having fineness of 680 m2/kg Blaine’s specific surface area (SSA) and a low w/b down to 0.16 showed the 28-day strength of 99 MPa. In contrast, medium sized (416-464 m2/kg) fly ash-based mono component concrete produced the strength between 40-47 MPa and that of the coarse (157-326 m2/kg) grade < 20 MPa in the 28-day test. Lower strength was observed in Class-C fly ash containing high proportion of quartz sand exhibiting higher water demand. Results of mix proportioning suggest a higher strength gain with 20-30% increase in fly ash over the minimum cement content specified in the mix design guidelines of IS 456 : 2000 while replacing 15-20% of coarse aggregates by fine aggregates. Unconfined flexural load applied on the three M40 reinforced concrete (RC) beams, viz. mono component, bi-component geopolymer and Portland pozzolana cement showed similar deflection up to 20 kN load.

Majority of the construction workers in Saudi Arabia are foreigners from several countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and others. These foreign workers are facing issues not only regarding construction demanding tasks but also facing social and climate adaptions. This review paper compiles previous research works related to construction workers issues which were carried out worldwide including Saudi Arabia. It able to extract 63 issues from worldwide studies and narrowed it to 45 issues for Saudi Arabia situation. With the issues from Saudi Arabia, it was clustered into 2 main categories which are technical and non-technical related issues. In technical category, 15 issues were assigned to 4 groups while for non-technical category, 30 issues were assigned to 7 groups. Based on frequency analysis, the 3 most frequent construction workers’ issues from worldwide studies are shortage of skilled labours, low productivity level and lack of experience. While from Saudi Arabia studies the 3 most frequent construction workers’ issues for both technical and non-technical groups are shortage of skilled labours, low productivity level, unqualified workforce and personal conflicts among labours, absenteeism of labours, discrimination based on nationality respectively. These preliminary findings serve as a basis for further investigation related to construction workers issues in the construction industry of Saudi Arabia.

In several countries in the world, work-related stresses faced among the professionals in the construction industry came together with the significantly unidentified symptoms and factors. Occupational stress could negatively affect the mental, physical, and behavior of an individual. The factors of work-related stress commonly caused by high job demand with low job control and support, the poor physical environment of an organization, discrimination from employers and employees, and conflict outside of work. The study of occupational stress had been researched by many researchers, but the study of occupational stress particularly among construction professionals is still lacking in Malaysia. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the occupational stress levels that are focusing on professionals who work in the construction industry in Malaysia. A multi-sectional questionnaire is developed to identify the level of work stress, factors that contribute to work stress, and the effects on professionals in the construction industries. The analysis shows that the professionals faced a controlled level of stress on physical, mental, and emotional states. Furthermore, some of the few top job demand stressors are obtained, which are critical cost constraints, the need for interpersonal skills, and the high frequency of reporting demand. Although the professionals’ stress levels are in the non-very-critical levels, there are still cases that fall into the critical level. Therefore, this study investigated the causes of occupational stress among professionals and how they affected their mental, emotional, and physical state. Moreover, this study has identified the job demand factors that contributed to the stress level of the professionals. At the same time, filling the gaps of previous studies related to the work-stress level on the professionals in the Malaysian construction industry.

Construction projects, in nature, are complex and dynamic, therefore, when estimating the project budget, there should be a budget set aside, called “contingency” for dealing with changes in the project internally and externally. This paper, used a case study of a public hospital in Vietnam, discussed the estimation of cost contingencies in the preliminary feasibility study and feasibility study stages. Cost contingencies estimation using the construction investment rates have low accuracy, therefore, have been adjusted and re-allocated through out the stages. Additional data is needed for improving the accuracy of the contingency estimation. This approach is facilitated in the construction digitalisation era, especially with the issuance of Circular 12/2019/TT-BXD guiding the development and management of the systems of databases on cost norms, prices and price indexes. Historical data can increase the accuracy of the estimation of costs for construction consultancy services, including BIM services, which are currently estimated by predefined rates based on construction and equipment costs.

Many countries have focused on emphasizing the importance of construction and health safety management. Countries such as Indonesia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Vietnam and Cambodia are looking into this issue seriously in order to ensure that the construction industry will always have a positive reputation. The implementation of construction safety management system is very much related to the government policies in construction, the roles of the government agencies, consultants and contractors. This is much more important when many countries are rapidly focusing in developing their facilities and infrastructures towards achieving modern and advance life style community. The rapid emerging economies during this rapid development have created a situation whereby numerous occupational deaths, injuries and illnesses were accounted for among the construction industrial players. Thus, this paper reviews the implementation of construction safety management system in selected countries such as Indonesia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Vietnam and Cambodia based on projects and experiences by researchers and industrial players from those countries. From the review process, it was found that almost all ASEAN countries are practicing safety and health management system in construction as it is important in all aspect of avoiding possible accidents and fatalities at construction sites. In conclusion, it can be mentioned here that the implementation of construction safety and health management system is an instrument which can be useful not only to avoid accidents and save lives but, it may also enhance the quality of work and outcomes in the construction industry.

United Arab Emirates (UAE) has taken continuous initiatives to ease in providing the government services. One of the initiatives is the M-government service but unfortunately, the rate of adopting the M-government service by the people is low. Thus, the government strives for improving the existing system and attracting the people towards the usage of M-government services. This study focused on identifying the common preferences of the people for adopting M-government services. Literature review found 30 people preference parameters and clustered into 6 groups which are Social Influence (SI), Perceived Compatibility (PC), Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), Perceived Usefulness (PU), Trust in Technology (TT) and Perceived Risk (PR). These preferences were used in the questionnaire development. The questionnaire was distributed randomly amongst the general public however only 263 completed questionnaire forms were received. The collected data from this survey was assessed for normality and multicollinearity and the finding indicated that the data was normal and had no major collinearity, hence the results obtained with the collected data can be generalized. The data was further analysed and found that the people of UAE have chosen the top public’s preference belong to the Social Influence category. While the highly agreed parameters are “people who are important to me would find using M-services beneficial” and “gives social comfort to all users”. From the findings of this study, it may benefit the government to take appropriate actions for the public interest towards the adoption of M-government services like devising strategies and mechanism to promote the M-government services in UAE.

Threat Space of L1/L2OF and L1/L3OC GLONASS Signals in Accordance with ICAO Threat Model
Authors:   Joint Stock Company “Russian Space Systems”, Nevzorov R. A.
Published: March 2022

Determining the GLONASS signal threat space is necessary for the operation of the signal quality monitor, which is a part of the station that generates differential corrections for these signals. To account for the threat effects on the signal, known as the Evil Waveform (EWF), a model recommended by ICAO is used. The thresholds for the EWF detection are determined according to the established limiting errors of differential measurements. The measuring path of the navigation receiver of the station is represented by a serial connection of a pre-correlation filter, including an antenna, and a tracking loop correlator, the discriminator of which is used to estimate the EWF error. Four types of filters with their numerical parameters and several values of the discrimination S-curve width are considered, which made it possible to obtain the results of the EWF impact for 84 variants of the path configuration for each signal. The maximum range of change in the values ??of the model parameters among all options, when the error exceeded the threshold, determined the desired threat space for each signal. It is concluded that the wider the signal spectrum, the smaller is its threat space. The presented way of determining the threat space is applicable to other signals of navigation systems.

Published: March 2022

The accuracy of the formation of sounding signals of quasi-continuous radars is determined by the requirements for the permissible instrumental component of the error in measuring of the distance and Doppler frequency shift. High-precision orbital radio altimeters, as a rule, use precision signals with linear frequency modulation (chirp signals) as sounding signals, the linearity characteristics of which are quite demanding, since deviations from the linear law of change in the frequency of the radio altimeter sounding signal cause additional measurement errors. To reduce the instrumental error of the radio altimeter, it is necessary to improve the quality of the formation of the probing chirp signal, which can be ensured by forming them digitally. To assess the possibility of using a synthesizer based on the 1508PL8T microcircuit as a generator of the probing signal of a radio altimeter, measurements of the frequency modulation linearity were performed. The linearity of the modulation was estimated by the deviation of the instantaneous phase of the synthesized signal from the quadratic dependence. Studies have shown that fast fluctuations of the chirp signal frequency are significantly influenced by the time it takes the synthesizer to change the rate of rise of the signal phase. The selection of the parameters of the synthesized signals and the characteristics of the filters at the output of the digital-to-analog converters made it possible to reduce the formation error to 2.9·10−3 rad (RMS). When choosing the type of integrated synthesizer, it is necessary to focus on microcircuits with a high DAC clock frequency (above 1 GHz) and a short time spent on changing the output signal frequency (no more than 4 clock periods).

Published: March 2022

The experience of JSC “Russian Space Systems” in the development of on-board equipment for command radio links of spacecraft for various purposes with a given level of radiation resistance under conditions of long-term exposure to ionizing radiation of outer space for the period from 2003 to 2021 is summarized. The main stages of work to ensure the resistance of onboard equipment to integral dose effects and the effects of single events are considered. Methodological and software resources have been developed that allow correct prediction of local dose loads of ionizing radiation from outer space in the on-board equipment of command radio links, taking into account the effect of “dose amplification” of secondary bremsstrahlung. The methodological issues of ensuring the terms of the active existence of the onboard equipment are considered, using the cold redundancy of critical devices and components. The use of cold redundancy makes it possible to increase the duration of active existence relative to resistance to integral dose effects by about 1.5 times. The effectiveness of the developed methodological and software resources for confirming the radiation resistance of the onboard equipment of command radio links is proved by successful operation of about 100 spacecraft for various purposes in the 2005–2021 period.
Applicability of Blockchain-Based Implementation for Risk Management in Healthcare Projects
Authors: Chung In Bae , Caldas Carlos
Published: March 2022

Hospitals provide diverse tasks essential for the delivery of patient care and are comprised of many functional units. This makes healthcare construction projects highly complex among other types of building projects due to the specific regulations, multiple functions it must provide, complicated mechanical and electrical systems, and so on. This complexity embodies potential risk events during its construction, which not only influences the completion of the project but can impact the patients’ safety and health conditions even after the project is finished. To prevent such outcomes, risk management is a crucial process that can identify, evaluate, and properly mitigate risks along the project lifecycle. A key aspect of risk management is that it requires the interaction and contribution from multiple stakeholders of the project. Various frameworks and tools that enable collaborative management of risks among multiple stakeholders have been developed in the past. However, the developed frameworks are not suitable in the sense that it does not protect the confidentiality of individual inputs from the stakeholders. Moreover, these frameworks are centralized systems, which can bring issues related to the security and transparency of the information that is being stored. Blockchain technology is an emergent distributed ledger technology (DLT) that can provide solutions to the listed problems found in centralized systems. It is a novel system that records information on a decentralized, distributed ledger, where transactions are constantly duplicated and updated. This study explores the applicability of blockchain technology for healthcare risk management. The key functional elements of blockchain that can resolve the challenges faced by prior risk management frameworks have been identified and discussed. Based on the discussions, a conceptual information management model for managing healthcare project risks on a blockchain has been conceived. The development of the initial prototype has been explained. The research illustrates the process, benefits, and limitations of adopting blockchain technology for collaborative risk management in healthcare projects.

From this transaction, there are two types of tax levied: first, the income tax which are the central government’s authority and secondly, the transfer tax of land and/or building rights (or Bea Perolehan Hak atas Tanah dan/atau Bangunan) which are the local government’s authority. This research tried to elaborate the problems of taxing the construction of public goods. The scope of this research is limited to the provisions and collection of taxes on land acquisition for NYIA airport. This research utilizes qualitative methodology, both empirical normative approach and in-depth interviews with representatives of taxpayer, the government and academics. The results of the study prove that granting the transfer tax exemption, in order to conduct the construction of the NYIA Airport, conflicted with the PDRD Law’s provision. The provision of fiscal incentives is not recognized in the PDRD Law. The local tax incentives regimes are regulated in Law No. 11/2020 concerning Job Creation. Although tax collection is regent head of Kulonprogo’s authority, but still had to refer to the hierarchy of laws in Indonesia. Granting this local tax exemptions could be harmful to the local financial losses.
Proyek pembangunan bandara membuat timbulnya perbuatan hukum antara PT Angkasa Pura dengan pemilik lahan, berkaitan dengan peralihan hak atas tanah, beserta bangunan di atasnya. Dalam transaksi tersebut, terdapat dua jenis kewajiban pajak yang timbul, pertama, kewajiban Pajak Penghasilan (PPh) yang menjadi kewenangan pemerintah pusat dan kedua, kewajiban Bea Perolehan Hak atas Tanah dan/atau Bangunan (BPHTB) yang merupakan kewenangan Pemerintah Kabupaten Kulon Progo. Penelitian ini akan mengelaborasi pengenaan pajak atas pembangunan untuk kepentingan umum. Penelitian dibatasi atas ketentuan dan pemungutan pajak atas pembebasan lahan untuk bandara NYIA. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, yang dilakukan dengan pendekatan normatif-empiris yang diperkuat dengan wawancara secara mendalam dengan perwakilan Wajib Pajak, pihak pemerintah (fiskus) dan akademisi. Hasil penelitian membuktikan bahwa pembebasan pemungutan BPHTB yang dilakukan oleh Kabupaten Kulon Progo, dalam pengadaan tanah untuk pembangunan Bandara NYIA oleh PT Angkasa Pura I, tidak memenuhi  ketentuan sebagaimana terdapat pada UU PDRD. Pemberian insentif fiskal tidak dikenal dalam UU PDRD. Diskresi pemberian pemberian pajak oleh Kepala Daerah baru secara jelas dinyatakan dalam UU Cipta Kerja. Meskipun pemungutan pajak merupakan kewenangan Kepala Daerah tetaplah harus merujuk kepada hirarki perundang-undangan yang berlaku saat itu. Pembebasan Pajak Daerah tersebut bisa saja mengakibatkan kerugian terhadap keuangan daerah.

Introducción: entre las funciones cognitivas menos estudiadas se encuentren las praxias y las gnosias, quizás porque la literatura especializada se centra en su estudio ante lesiones cerebrales, más que en la perspectiva de la normalidad.
Objetivo: describir los resultados de un estudio de validación y estandarización de pruebas para la evaluación de praxias y gnosias.
Material y métodos: se evaluaron 208 estudiantes universitarios sanos. Se validaron y estandarizaron las siguientes pruebas: Test de la figura compleja de Rey (copia) y Test de retención visual, discriminación visual y juicio de orientación de líneas de Benton. Se realizaron las siguientes pruebas y análisis: validez de apariencia (juicio de expertos), validez de contenido (análisis factorial), validez de criterio concurrente (coeficiente de correlación), consistencia interna (coeficientes alfa de Cronbach y Omega), consistencia relacionada con el tiempo de aplicación (proporción de aciertos) y consistencia interevaluador (coeficiente de correlación intraclase).
Resultados: se evidenció adecuada validez de contenido en todas las pruebas; adecuada validez de criterio en las medidas de evaluación de las praxias; baja validez de criterio, consistencia interna y confiabilidad test–retest para las pruebas de gnosias y praxias.
Conclusiones: es recomendable utilizar el test más apropiada para el contexto cultural en el que se aplica y el uso de instrumentos estandarizados para la población objetivo.
