Authors: Afsari Kereshmeh , Halder Srijeet , Ensafi Mahnaz , DeVito Stephen , Serdakowski John
Published: June 2021

Progress monitoring in the construction industry is mostly a manual process through in-person visual inspection and it leads to inconsistent, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and error-prone data acquisition. The key in progress monitoring is accurate, timely, and regular data collection and analysis during the construction process. Automating the process of regular data collection in progress monitoring can enable systematic recording of construction progress. To achieve this goal, mobile robots with autonomous navigation and high-performance locomotion capabilities can potentially navigate dynamically changing construction workspaces to perform regular data collection. This study identifies fundamentals of robot-enabled procedures for automated construction progress monitoring and explores the opportunities and challenges of utilizing a legged robot in this process. Through collaboration between academia and industry, this study conducts a set of experiments with a four-legged robot equipped with a 360° image capture technology to automate data collection in construction progress monitoring. The results of these experiments have identified the opportunities and operating procedure for robot-enabled image capturing. The study has also discussed current limitations in the automated construction progress monitoring including safety limitations, operation limitations, and mission limitations.

Authors: Shih Naai-Jung , Chen Hui-Xu
Published: June 2021

High-throughput phenotyping of seeds is the assessment of seed morphometry to aid in the prediction of yield, tolerance, resistance, and development of seeds in various environmental conditions. The paper focuses on the application of 3D graphics to image processing as a means to conduct seed phenotyping better. The paper proposes two algorithms - similar in the outcome, but different in implementation. The algorithms perform image processing on a variety of seeds such as wheat, soy, sorghum, rough rice, white rice, and canola to arrive at their morphometric estimations. In the area of static image processing, addressed are at least three common yet significant problems of seed clusters on images, skewed images, and poor image quality. As a means to address the problems, we propose the use of low-cost physical components. The algorithms provide the estimated count, area, perimeter, length, and width of seeds within an image.

Authors: Farrow C. Ben , Wetzel Eric M. , Leathem Tom
Published: June 2021

As Universities attempt to elevate the student experience, one approach has been the formalization of a series of effective educational practices, termed High Impact Educational Practices (HIEPs). This study considers one university in the Southeastern U.S. that measures the quantity and quality of HIEPs based on the experiences of graduating undergraduate construction management (CM) students. The study addresses four different types of HIEPS: study abroad, internships and co-ops, undergraduate research, and e-portfolios. 145 graduating students were surveyed based on their self-selected HIEPs for the 2019-20 academic year. Results indicate that internships and co-ops are the most selected HIEP while undergraduate research is seldom student selected. Students note few opportunities to make formal presentations of their experiences in HIEPs. Data points toward the second and third internship or co-op as providing a deeper educational experience than the first internship or co-op. Finally, study abroad seems to provide the greatest opportunity for students to have deep impactful engagement with others.
Expert Witness Testimony in Construction Litigation by Construction-Area Faculty
Authors: Opfer Neil
Published: June 2021

A common component in construction litigation in the United States and throughout the world is the use of expert witnesses typically by both the plaintiff and defense. In the U.S., construction-area faculty often may be asked to serve as experts in these construction disputes. While many construction-area faculty members are aware of this practice area, due to a lack of understanding of requirements for experts, they may have not fully considered the benefits of being an expert in terms of career development, industry contact, and other areas. Interviews were conducted with several construction-area faculty members that serve as experts in construction disputes possessing significant experience in this area. The goal was to examine both requirements and benefits for the faculty member who acts as an expert witness. These requirements include verbal/written communication skills, background knowledge, research/analytical ability, and presentation ability before arbitrators, judges, and juries. The benefits besides obvious financial compensation include continued industry experience and contact along with keeping abreast of industry practices. The expert experience of these faculty members in construction litigation disputes was centered on construction safety/accidents, construction defects, construction contracting issues, construction scheduling issues, and construction cost issues.

Authors: Shalwani Amirali , Maali Omar Nazih , Lines Brian , Kasana Dipin V. , Smithwick Jake
Published: June 2021

In today’s rapidly changing market, effective organizational change adoption has become a core competency for many Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) organizations to maintain competitiveness. Many barriers and hindrances stand in the way of the successful adoption of an organizational change initiative, with employee’s resistance to change being primary among them. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between utilizing specific change management practices for achieving a successful change adoption and favorable employee reaction to that change. A data set of 428 change initiatives from numerous AEC organizations across North America was analyzed. The results show that certain practices such as utilizing change agents to support the change adoption, providing a realistic timescale of the change to the users (and keeping them updated with the progress of change), utilizing the practice of communicating the benefits of change, and providing training resources to the employee, can contribute to both a successful change adoption and favorable employee reaction. This study contributes to the body of knowledge by analyzing an under-researched dimension of change adoption in the AEC industry. This study also helps industry practitioners by identifying key organizational change management practices for successful adoption of change and favorable employee reactions to change.

The performance of mentioned classifiers is illustrated and compared via the figures of predicted decision boundaries. Also, in comparison to LR, higher accuracy of SVM has been verified.
Using Simulations to Promote Generational Communication Awareness and Empathy in Construction Management Students – A Pilot Study
Authors: Posillico John , Shelbourn Mark , Edwards David
Published: June 2021

Today’s work environment, regardless of career, is experiencing an unprecedented number of generations working together. Specific to the construction management industry, in order to effectively manage a team in such a generationally diverse workforce, a construction manager needs to increase their awareness and empathy of the varying modes of communication. Working in teams, 29 undergraduate construction management students completed a quantity take-off estimating project where a series of communication constraints were implemented (simulation) within each team that mirrored the ‘preferred available mode of communication’ of different workplace generations. Likert scale questionnaires were administered throughout the course to collect data to determine if a student’s awareness and empathy of generational communication changed through the simulation experience. The results from the simulation indicate promotion in workplace generational communication awareness and the role of empathy within the construction industry. However, these promotions do not appear to have a statistically significant correlation with each simulation. Furthermore, while students generally favour their own generational ‘preferred available mode of communication,’ they overwhelmingly rate face-to-face communication as the most effective communication style in the construction management industry.

Authors: Encinas Elenaor , Simons April , Sattineni Anoop
Published: June 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the world and has affected all aspects of personal and professional life. Many construction projects were deemed “critical” during the pandemic and were cleared to proceed with increased safety measures in place to protect employees. Many companies have shifted regularly scheduled meetings from in person to video and/or audio conference when practical to facilitate physical distancing and reduce the spread of COVID-19. This shift to virtual meetings has facilitated continued communication among construction stakeholders. This research addresses the changes in construction communication since the onset of COVID-19 along with the positive and negative outcomes associated with these changes. A survey was completed by a variety of construction professionals, including project owners, architects-engineers, subcontractors, and suppliers. Results of the survey include data on changes in meeting attendance, positive and negative outcomes of virtual communication, and recommendations for improving virtual communication going forward. The study focuses primarily on verbal communication during typical construction meetings.
Student Responses to Faculty Innovation in Virtual Construction Education
Authors: McCord Kieren H. , Ayer Steven K.
Published: June 2021

In response to the global coronavirus pandemic, much of higher education experienced a shift to virtual teaching and learning, requiring instructors to swiftly adapt their teaching methods. Within a construction education context, faculty interviews were conducted to discover some of the innovations and teaching strategies that were implemented. Using this data, a questionnaire was developed and delivered to students, who indicated their perceptions of these strategies and noted what they found to be helpful and what they found to be counterproductive. In general, students responded well to innovations such as virtual interactive elements and providing recorded lectures for review. Many students expressed frustration with slide-based lecturing and a loss of hands-on opportunities, a particularly poignant concern in construction education. Many teaching strategies had mixed reception, sometimes depending on the effectiveness of application. Organization and communicating expectations were emphasized by more than half of the students. In addition to discussing general strategies, anecdotal evidence is provided for construction-specific student experiences that were either successful or challenging. The contribution of this work is in providing a timely survey of construction-specific teaching strategies from faculty who experienced the transition to virtual and in directly collecting student responses to these strategies.
Exploring Construction Students’ Perceptions of Smart Buildings
Authors: Rokooei Saeed , Karji Ali
Published: June 2021

Smart buildings use technologies to interconnect different building systems’ data for performance improvement. These buildings can improve the user experience, decrease operation and maintenance costs, and elevate productivity, to name a few. With the advent of information technology, the market for smart building technology is increasingly expanding. Smart buildings and relevant synonyms are becoming prevalent in the architecture, engineering, and construction industries (AEC); however, it is not widely taught in construction education programs. This study aims to determine the current understanding and perception levels of construction management students of the aspects of smart buildings. To do this, two groups of construction management students from Japan and the U.S. were surveyed before and after a smart building workshop. A quantitative research method was used to collect and analyze the data. The results showed similarities and differences between the two groups’ attitudes toward different aspects of smart buildings, the workshop’s role in changing students’ perceptions of smart buildings, and construction education institutions’ role in promoting the smart building concept. This study helps education programs by shedding light on the current knowledge of a sample of students about smart buildings and highlights aspects of the concept that need a focus in educational settings.

BIM-GIS: Analysis and Integration for Contractors
Authors: Najmi-Sarooghi Emad , McCuen Tamera
Published: June 2021

This paper introduces a set of analyses using location specific GIS data to inform certain preconstruction and construction activities performed by contractors. Five types of GIS assessments whose output provides information for project risk analyses, site logistics, site security, and safety are discussed. The results from these analyses show that the information obtained could be beneficial for contractor’s decision making and construction planning. Additionally, a hypothetical project was created to provide context for the integration of BIM and GIS to support the operations and maintenance of mechanical equipment. A practical workflow is proposed that includes specific building information and steps in the process to import BIM project data into GIS software for visualization of a building asset location. As proof of concept, Air Handling Units (AHUs) data was input to the Revit® model element, which was then exported as a text file and imported to ArcMapTM. The workflow can be applied to a single building or several buildings in a broader site like university campuses. This paper contributes to the literature with 1) its application of GIS data for preconstruction and construction analyses, and 2) a workflow that integrates BIM and GIS data using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software.

Authors: Farrow Ben , Leathem Tom , Salman Amna
Published: June 2021

The course syllabus is a staple document in virtually every higher education classroom. Studies suggest that given appropriate attention to contents, the syllabus has opportunity to elevate student engagement and performance in a class. However, research on syllabi components in construction management (CM) is minimal to date. This paper presents an introductory exploration into the inclusion of syllabi components within CM that informed a larger body of research currently ongoing. Couse syllabi from 34, 4-year CM programs were evaluated for the presence of 26 specific components. These results were compared to a previous study of 350 syllabi in higher education and current recommended practice by selected teaching and learning centers to determine the areas where CM syllabi exceed or fall short of other disciplines. CM syllabi exceeded other disciplines within higher education in most categories. Details related to course assignments, instructor contact information, events specific to CM, and motivation of learning tactics were the key areas where CM syllabi had potential to enhance educational effectiveness within the CM discipline.
The Dark Side of the Drones: A Review of Emerging Safety Implications in Construction
Authors: Khalid Mohammad , Namian Mostafa , Massarra Carol
Published: June 2021

The construction industry has experienced a significantly rapid integration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), (known as drones) within multifarious construction applications due to their prevalent stature in accessibility, reliability, accuracy, and low-cost. Given the dynamic nature of the hazard-prone construction sites, the rapid proliferation of UAVs potentially incorporates additional operational complexities, hazards, and associated safety risks. These safety implications are emerging in the absence of construction-specific UAV-standard guidelines and strategies for effective risk mitigation. Despite the remarkable benefits, UAVs can expose workers to a wide range of unwarranted workplace hazards, especially when operating around densely populated construction sites. This study aims to (1) explore the current understanding of the UAV-associated safety risks and (2) identify the potential risks to which construction workers are exposed. Collisions with workers and properties have been found to be the key safety risks of UAV adoption. In this context, due to the scarcity of studies, there is a substantial lack of construction-based safety understanding relevant to UAV applications. It is expected that the industry professionals and practitioners can benefit from the presented information to effectively address the safety risks and develop appropriate control measures to ensure safe operation by preventing accidents.

Published: June 2021

The construction industry is confronted with a critical shortage of skilled trade workers, which greatly hampers its growth and labor productivity. This shortage of workforce mainly stems from a lack of effective strategies for recruiting and retaining students in construction programs, which can be addressed by fully understanding major factors that influence student decisions to pursue a career in the industry. This study investigated the perceptions and opinions of students on developing a long-term career in the construction industry. The study data were gathered by surveying students enrolled in construction trade programs at three institutions in Texas. A total of 154 responses allowed for specific examination of the impact of family units and social media on student career decisions, factors leading participants to select a construction program, and participant perceptions of the construction industry. For unbiased analysis, the collected data were stratified by socioeconomic descriptions such as demographics and family household composition. The results revealed that skilled trade students have a positive perception of the construction industry. The findings of this study can provide planners and decision-makers with effective strategies for student retention and recruitment in construction trade programs.
Construction Management Department - Journeyman International: Case Study of an Academic - Philanthropic Partnership
Authors: Barlow Philip , Wiens Daniel
Published: June 2021

Over the years university educators and philanthropic organizations have strived to come together to achieve the goals and objectives of both. Construction management programs are often seen as a prime potential partner to assist with community construction projects which benefit non-profit organizations. At the same time, construction management educators have strived to provide their students with service-learning opportunities that are construction related, interdisciplinary, and project-based. This paper presents and describes the origins and functionality of a new model which integrates a university construction management senior project program with an international non- profit organization to provide design, engineering, and pre-construction services to international community construction projects in third-world countries. This case study was developed through accounts provided by the authors (originators of the program) and a series of student evaluations and surveys from twenty-three construction management students who participated in the program over a four-year-time period. The results and analysis describe a highly successful program through a model which benefits both the non-profit and educational institution through interdisciplinary collaboration and service learning. This paper is beneficial to educators and non-profit organizations who are looking for new and effective ways of achieving similar goals and objectives for both institutions.

Authors: Miller Jonathan , Herstein Kelli , Stentz Terry
Published: June 2021

This study has been conducted to explore the feasibility of using Fleet Telematics Systems (FTS) to identify truck hauling cycle-times and optimize trucking power in earthmoving operations. Aftermarket telematics control units and a web-based telematics application were utilized to autonomously monitor and collect cycle-time information on multiple tandem-axel dump trucks. Trucks were monitored during a four-day period of work while performing the same task through the duration of the data collection. The information was then analyzed to determine if inefficiencies in the earthmoving operations could be identified strictly through the collected cycle- time data. The key finding of this study was that information collected through FTS units and applications provided a beneficial understanding of the on-site earthmoving equipment through the data associated with the hauling cycle-times. The authors believe that the telematics technology being introduced to hauling machinery and vehicles provides a low-effort and inexpensive means to autonomously monitor and manage earthmoving operations from anywhere in the world.
An Industry Focused Course to Address Barriers and Benefits of Drones in Construction
Authors: Burgett Joseph
Published: June 2021

Since the release of CFR Title 14, Part 107 in 2016, the use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems or drones, has significantly increased in the construction industry. This paper discusses the results of a survey of over 50 construction professionals with the goal of better understanding how drones are used, the perceived benefits and barriers, and how an Applied Drone Technology course offered through Clemson University address those barriers. The survey found that over 80% of the respondents used drones for progress photos and marketing. However, less than 10% use drones for thermal imaging, quantity take-offs, safety, and quality control overlays. The respondents indicated that the most significant benefits of drone use were to provide improved documentation, the perception by their clients and communication. The lowest perceived value was related to increasing efficiency, safety, cost control, and BIM modeling. The most significant barriers to using drones included earning an FAA remote pilot certificate, uncertainty about regulations, the liability of drone operation, and the lack of flight skills. Each of those barriers is addressed in the drone course and evaluated favorably by the contractor group.
Mehmet Akif Ersoy’da Poetik Söylem
Authors: DALAR Tuba
Published: June 2021

Edebiyat tarihi, edebi üretimler kadar bu üretimler üzerine yapılan yorum, teori ve eleştiri gibi değerlendirmelerin de tarihidir. Estetik objeyi esas alan bu değerlendirmeler, edebiyatın kendisi kadar eskidir. Aristoteles’in Poetika’sı bu bağlamda ele alınabilecek ilk ciddi ve sistemli girişimdir. Günümüzde ise poetika kavramı, bir şairin kendi şiir sanatı üzerine kaleme aldığı metinlerin karşılığı olarak kullanılır.

Edebiyatın, devrin zihniyeti tarafından şekillendirildiği ve tarihin gömlek değiştirdiği dönemlerde sosyal bir mahiyet kazandığı bilinen bir durumdur. Mehmet Akif Ersoy, Abdülhamit yönetiminin siyasal atmosferinin ardından İkinci Meşrutiyet’in getirdiği atmosferi de yaşamış, art arda patlak veren savaşlarda her geçen gün daha da ufalanan devletin inkıraz çağına tanıklık etmiştir. Bilindiği üzere devrin sosyal-siyasi değişimleri ve düşünsel dönüşümleri, poetik söylemlerin art alanını belirler. Tarih, hâlden hâle evrilerek devam ettiği gibi tarihin şekillendirdiği insan da benzer bir değişim süreci yaşar. Bundan dolayı herhangi bir şairin poetik söylemi, sanatsal üretimi devam ettiği sürece mecra değiştirebilir. Akif’in, Safahat’ına almadığı ilk dönem şiirleri, başka bir poetik algının ürünleridir. Aşina bir ifade ile söylenecek olursa şair, şiir devrinde yazdıklarını şuur devrinde susturmayı tercih etmiştir.

Mehmet Akif; yaşamı, düşünce dünyası ve sanat algısı arasında anlamlı bir paralelliği gözeten ender isimlerden biridir. Bu paralellik göz önüne alındığında, Akif’in poetik söylemine dair bütünlüklü bir bakış açısı geliştirme gerekliliği ortaya çıkar. Bu çalışmada Akif’in poetik nitelikli mensur ve manzum metinleri incelenerek onun poetik söylemi belirlendi. İnceleme sonucunda, Akif’in poetik söyleminde, sanat endişesinin öncelik olmadığı, kültür ve medeniyet tasavvuru üzerine inşa edilmiş olan bu söylemin, toplumsal terakki ve tekâmül süreçlerini esas aldığı görüldü.

Water Use in Uzbekistan’s Segment of the Zarafshan River: Analytical Review
Authors:   Kazakh-German University, Khaidarov A.R.
Published: June 2021

The Zarafshan River is one of the main water supply sources for different sectors of Uzbekistan’s national economy. The article aims to analyze water resources use in the Zarafshan River Basin, including calculating the amount of water that can be saved by introducing water-efficient irrigation technologies; testing the hypothesis of the possibility of restoring the Zarafshan’s runoff as a tributary of the Amudarya River, as it was in ancient time; reviewing the experience of developed countries in injecting wastewater into deep aquifers, and the possibility of introducing the corresponding practices in Uzbekistan. The distance from the Zarafshan to the Amudarya was calculated based on the map, and turned out that today it is 127 km. The deployment of water-efficient technologies will allow saving enough water and calculating the water volume necessary for restoring the runoff. The study results show that the saved water will be enough to restore the Zarafshan’s runoff, as well as to develop new irrigated land. The study findings likewise not only confirm the hypothesis of restoring the Zarafshan’s runoff up to the Amudarya, thus increasing the river’s water content, but also demonstrate that the saved water can be used to irrigate new farmland that can be further used for growing orchards and vineyards.

Deixis is a human language phenomenon in which particular expression referential depends on context use (Williams, 2019). By knowing deixis, a speaker knows alternate reference words depending on the interlocutor, places and time conversation takes place. The study investigates deixis and its context used by diplomats and representatives from Indonesia, Silvany Pasaribu of human rights cases of Vanuatu and Papua. This study's data source was the comment speech of an Indonesian diplomat, consisting of three types of deixis based on Levinson's theory. The video was collected from YouTube. Further, to analyse the data through several processes, the researchers firstly collected all deictic expressions found in transcription, classified the deictic word into each category of deixis. The result of this study shows thirty five deixis from comment speech of Indonesian diplomat. There were twenty three personal deixis consisting of a first, second, and third person, seven spatial deixis, and five temporal deixis. Person deixis generally be delivered by person grammatical type, which replaces personal pronoun encode like community, appropriate names, and the individual pronoun compound. Spatial or place deixis based on result which expresses by the speaker on their speech were location. Temporal deixis is used to the pointing of time context speech. Further research is suggested to analyze all kinds of deixis, such as social deixis and its context.

Authors:   Universitas Negeri Surabaya, Rahayu Nita Fatma , Purwati Oikurema ,   Universitas Negeri Surabaya
Published: June 2021

Both philosophy and curriculum are a crucial part of education. Philosophy becomes a very important foundation of the curriculum since it affects the objectives of learning and content, as well as the structure of the curriculum (Ornstein & Hunkins, 2018). Thus, philosophy is included in the three aspects of curriculum development. It also aims to determine the process of teaching and learning. Therefore, this study attempts to reveal the philosophical foundation employed in the textbook and its relation to curriculum 2013. This study was based on the inferential content analysis, so the object was an English textbook under the title ‘Forward an English Course for Vocational School Students Grade X’. It applied linguistics and communication construct analysis to make an inference. Then, it recorded and categorized the data. The inferences were examined through attribution analysis. The results found there were ten points related to the content and the structure of the textbooks. It also revealed the philosophical foundations employed in the textbook, for instance, essentialism, perennialism, humanism, existentialism, social reconstruction, and progressivism. These philosophical foundations are in line with the philosophical foundations implied in curriculum 2013. Finally, both English textbooks for vocational students and curriculum 2013 more concerned with the student’s character and skills. The skills that should be developed to engage with this 21st century such as critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, collaboration, creativity, and innovation.
GLOBAL IMPACT AND REGIONAL DIMENSIONS OF SERVICES MARKET DEVELOPMENT IN UKRAINE
Authors: Brenzovych Kateryna , Tsalan Myroslava
Published: June 2021

In the context of decentralization processes in Ukraine, the development of perspective segments of the service sector that can be oriented at an external domestic or foreign consumer, should be in the focus of attention of local authorities and self-government bodies. For this reason, the purpose of the paper is to explore the theoretical foundations and practical realities of developing regional service markets in Ukraine, to study the influence of national and global factors on the tertiary sector development. Methodology. The study is conducted with the application of general scientific and specific methods of economic research. In particular, the methods of analysis and synthesis were used in assessing the structure of the services market according to statistical observations. The classification method is applied in the author's vision of division of services. The use of induction and extrapolation methods made it possible to distinguish the general features of services, based on certain occasions and market indicators and to extend them to a general structure. Results show the current state and development specifics of the services market of Ukraine in the regional dimension and the prospects of export specialization of its regions and trade in services in the context of Ukraine’s participation in the WTO and association with the EU. Particular attention is paid to the study of the development of services market at the regional level, since the functioning of the services market has a clearly identified regional orientation, which causes significant differences in the development of entrepreneurship in the service sector at both the regions of the global economy, country and the local administrative and territorial entities. Some types of services are "tied" to the territory (for example, tourist locations), others have to be close to potential consumers (utility, personal, household services). The financial services sector is excluded from the subject of the study, which is explained by higher globalization of this type of services and much lower relation to regional development. Practical implications. The study of services sector development will be useful for local and national authorities while taking measures on local development programs. Value/originality. The study takes into account both local and global factors influencing the services market development, which is especially valuable in the context of Ukraine’s aspirations of integration to the European Union.
PECULIARITIES OF THE CONSUMER PERCEPTION OF UKRAINIAN AND FOREIGN BRANDS
Authors: Vartanova Olena , Korol Inna
Published: June 2021

Ensuring sustainable competitive advantages is the main goal of the company in a chaotic and unpredictable change in the business environment. Sustainable and long-term competitive advantages are formed mainly on the basis of the new combinations or new ways of using intangible assets: they give impetus to the company's development and innovation in a rapidly transforming environment. One of such unique assets of the enterprise becomes a brand. The brand is the bearer of the value of the product in the consumer perception, and is often more attractive to the consumer than the actual consumer value of the product. Consumer perception of the brand is determined by a large number of factors, including personal and psychological factors that reflect the patterns of human consumer behavior and order its coexistence habits. The study of these aspects of consumer behavior is an extremely important task of marketing. The subject of the research is theoretical-methodical and practical aspects of peculiarities and factors of consumer perception of Ukrainian and foreign brands. The purpose of the article is to form a theoretical and methodological basis for determining and comparing the characteristics of the perception of domestic and foreign brands by Ukrainian consumers with different socio-demographic characteristics. In line with this goal, the research methodology is based on the use of expert survey methods to determine the characteristics of consumer perception of brands using Google Forms. The sample size is 169 people. Respondents were asked to rate 14 foreign and 11 Ukrainian most popular clothing brands according to selected parameters. To confirm the hypotheses formed in the study, the calculation of the Fisher's angular transformation criterion φ was used. According to the results of the study of features and factors of consumer perception of Ukrainian and foreign brands by Ukrainian consumers, the hypotheses about the greater commitment of Ukrainian consumers to foreign brands was confirmed (consumer perception of the ZARA brand exceeds the perception of the H&M brand, consumer confidence in foreign brands exceeds the trust in Ukrainian brands). Fisher's angular transformation criterion is used to confirm the hypotheses.

Bamboo is an abundant material and easily available in Indonesia. In addition to having high compressive strength and tensile strength as well as ease of obtaining and low prices, bamboo is a consideration and focus in developing in the world of construction today. In this study, bamboo is used for soil stabilization, where bamboo is used in the form of fibre. This research focuses on the strength properties of various types of bamboo. The focus is to investigate the relationship between the maximum tensile strength of bamboo and the flexibility of bamboo in soil stabilization. This is very important, because bamboo fibers used for soil stabilization rely on their tensile strength rather than their compressive strength. Thus, the optimum tensile strength and flexibility of bamboo must be of particular concern. From the results of the study of the tensile strength of two types of bamboo, namely Apus Bamboo and Java Bamboo, the Apus Bamboo results were found to have a higher tensile strength of 225.57 mpa with maximum flexibility of 19.99 mm and 43.76 mpa for tensile strength of Javanese Bamboo with a level of flexibility of 10.26 mm.

The axial capacity of a full height rectangular opening castellated steel beam with steel reinforcement stiffeners is proven to prevent Vierendeel failure mechanism. The effect is an increase in flexural capacity of the structure. Diameter of the steel reinforcement stiffeners is revealed to have an effect on its strength in resisting axial forces occur in the structure. However, size of the diameter is limited to the strength maximum value of the steel flange section in withstanding the moment force. Using optimal design of the castellated steel structure, this research aimed to find out the increase value of the axial capacity. There were two models of steel structures employed in the study, IWF 200x100x5.5x8 and castellated beam 362x100x5.5x8, both were loaded with axial directions. Analyses were conducted using truss and pushover methods. Results of the study showed an increase in both flexural (36.81%) and axial (60.78%) capacities. The increase in the value of structure capacity mainly influenced by the stiffeners shortened the effective length of the structure.

A priority task for facilitating the development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation is to design new blasting technologies to be efficiently used in extremely difficult climatic, mining and geological conditions at remote operations. This is further motivated by the fact that up to 40% of Russia's gold reserves, 60–90% of its natural gas resources and 100% of its primary diamond deposits are located in the Arctic zone. The article analyses the problems of blasting operations while developing deposits in the Arctic zone. The main formulations of ordinary explosives are reviewed that allow to solve a number of challenges associated with blasting operations in remote and hard-to-reach Arctic regions. Based on the performed analysis of existing methods, further areas of research are identified that can improve the quality and safety of blasting operations: 1) determination of optimum weight and dimensions of boosters based on ordinary explosives depending on the initiating borehole size; 2) determination of the relation between the particle size / composition of the booster and the detonation velocity; 3) determination of physical parameters of transition from deflagration to detonation and gaining sensitivity to the initiating pulse from the detonator cap by the ordinary explosive compositions.
Das Unbehagen in der Kultur
Authors: Heidlberger Bruno
Published: June 2021

Dieser Artikel arbeitet vor dem Hintergrund der Corona-Krise, orientiert an den sozialpsychologischen Forschungsergebnissen der Leipziger Autoritarismus Studie 2020, an Adornos Studien zum Autoritären Charakter und an Löwenthals Studien zur faschistischen Agitation, die sozialen, ökonomischen und psychischen Ursachen von Verschwörungsideologien sowie ihre psychische Stabilisierungsfunktion heraus. Verwiesen wird auf den Zusammenhang von autoritärem Einstellungsmuster und Verschwörungsdenken als eine Art Einstiegsdroge für antidemokratische Ideologien und als lukratives Geschäftsmodell für als »Bürgerrechtler« getarnte Brandstifter. Mit Reckwitz und Freud wird der Weg der kollektiven Regression infolge der gescheiterten Kontingenzbewältigung als Ausdruck der Krise des Subjekts in der Spätmoderne und als Symptom und Katalysator einer autoritären Tendenz in der Gesamtgesellschaft analysiert.
Das Stigma der psychischen »Störungen«: Mehr als eine Wiederaufnahme der »labeling«-Debatte
Authors: Hrastnik Lucija
Published: June 2021

Stigmatisierung ist ein großes Hindernis für jene Menschen, die an seelischen Konflikten und ihren Folgen leiden. Scheinbar bestätigte falsche Vorstellung von seelischen »Erkrankungen« behindern Erreichen und Aufrechterhalten von Lebenszielen und resultieren in erheblicher Deprivation, die die Lebensqualität schwer beeinträchtigen. Schon die Diagnose einer »Geisteskrankheit« ist deshalb auf Gewaltsamkeit zu prüfen, das formale psychiatrische Diagnose-System wird überprüft auf Implikationen für die Notwendigkeit eines neuen Paradigmas.
Entstehung und Prävention von Gewalt bei Großdemonstrationen

Die schweren Auseinandersetzungen zwischen Polizei und Demonstrant*innen im Zuge des G20-Gipfels 2017 können mikrosoziologisch (Randall Collins) so analysiert werden, dass die Analyse selbst weitgehend frei von Parteinahmen bleiben kann. Das Konzept der »Vorwärtspanik« begreift die Entstehung eines Vakuums zwischen den plötzlich unterlegenen Demonstranten und den stark überlegenen Einsatzkräften als zentrale Ursache der Eskalation. Eine Paradoxie zeigt sich: Die Präventionsmaßnahmen der Polizei werden selbst zu Auslösern von Gewalt. Die darin enthaltenen, impliziten Grundannahmen zur Entstehung von Gewalt rücken in ein kritisches Licht. Die Analyse eröffnet den Blick auf ungenutzte Präventionspotenziale und alternative Vorgehensweisen.
The Teacher as a Social Transformer
Authors: Hernández Irayetzin
Published: June 2021

Educational institutions play an essential role in the expansion of culture and students’ professionalization. Educational institutions are terrains where students and teachers read the world together, and the knowledge on which they concentrate their efforts can convey dreams, utopias, and social fights. A contrast is made between examples taken from education in Germany, Mexico, and reflections from a student movement in Hungary. A teacher can be a social agent who, through his or her pedagogical practice and help of the classroom dynamics, moves students to transform their realities by making an ethical-political commitment to the societies to which they belong. This practice should or can be ascribed to teachers in conditions of poverty, repression, and violence such as the rural teachers. It can also be practiced by those who, by their craft, seek to give meaning to life collectively as a form of emancipation, resistance, and love to face the adversities of our times.
