RELATIONSHIP OF EFFORT IN BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING DATA CREATION TO BIG DATA PROGRESSION: A PILOT STUDY
Authors: Ali Faris Hyder , Bandi Shamsulhadi
Published: December 2021

The construction industry is developing steadily from time to time through the infusion of technologies. Though there are several kinds of technologies that have been already adopted, Building Information Modelling (BIM) software has a vital role in the evolution of construction technologies since it is considered as digital working strategy and method capable to integrate various applications. This circumstance gives rise to the explosion of BIM data through the integration where it sparks the relevancy of big BIM data in construction. However, the creation of BIM data in the context of big data still remains uncertain due to the incognizant state of effort being imposed in the generation of data. Therefore, a study to determine the relationship of the current effort in BIM data creation towards big data progression in construction is being carried out. Before carrying out the research main/large scale data collection, this research has been undergone through smaller-scale data collection which is a pilot study. The pilot study was administered via a survey questionnaire to 30 BIM modellers in the Klang Valley to scrutinize the credibility of the instrument to be utilized in the study later. Thus, this paper reports partly the outcome of the pilot study which sought to appraise the reliability of the instrument and the data normality as a prerequisite step to conduct an inferential analysis at a much later stage of the research. The questionnaire for the pilot test was distributed to BIM modellers within Klang Valley. Through the study conducted, it has been found that the instrument developed is reliable and the most suitable analysis method is a non-parametric test which is Spearman’s correlation due to non-normal distribution.

Published: December 2021

Common to the construction industry, distinct parties of different backgrounds and disciplines were assembled to complete a project. Despite being unfamiliar and sharing little in common except the project’s goal, this ad-hoc syndicate was expected to effectively communicate the expectation of the project’s stakeholders. While it was possible for project parties to get along and gradually form an effective relationship, contrasting interests and values were the norms, which resulted in conflicting attitudes and behaviour. Among the most critical constituents of a successful relationship, trust was identified as the fundamental building block to allay conflict or cushioning its impacts it. Through advancements in project management thinking in recent times were able to offer pragmatic solutions to relationship issues in construction, it appeared that digital transformation was not widely inculcated in the approaches. Against this backdrop, this paper aimed to gain insightful disclosure on digital development that promotes and accelerates trust-building in different contexts. This is methodically carried out by identifying and reviewing 100 pieces of relevant literature from the Scopus database, followed by deductive content analysis to observe the interplay between digital development and trust in a wider context. The analyses revealed two types of digital approaches having bright prospects for infusion in construction which are Gamification and Virtual Reality (VR). The outcome from this analysis provides the much-needed departing point for humanizing digital development in construction and signifies a paradigm shift in dealing with trust issues in construction.

Published: December 2021

This paper presents the detection of the equatorial plasma bubbles (EPB) using the Global Positioning System (GPS) ionospheric tomography method over Peninsular Malaysia. This paper aims to investigate the capability of the GPS ionospheric tomography method in detecting the variations of the EPB over the study area. In doing so, a previous case study during post-sunset 5th April 2011 has been selected as a reference for the detection of the EPBs over the study area. It has been observed that at least three structures of the EPBs have been captured based on the rate of change total electron content (TEC) index (ROTI) from 12 UT until 19 UT. Therefore, the three-dimensional ionospheric profiles have been reconstructed over Peninsular Malaysia using the tomography method during the study period in order to capture the signature of the EPBs. In this study, the detection of the EPBs using the tomography method is based on the rate of change of electron density (ROTNe). The results from three-dimensional ionospheric tomography show only two structures of EPBs are detected during the study period. It has been observed that the ROTNe depleted up to ~-12x109el/cm. Overall, the results in this study show that the GPS ionospheric tomography capable to be utilized in detecting the variations of EPBs in support of ionospheric studies and monitoring in the Malaysian region.

Authors: Chiew Ling Sie , Amerudin Shahabuddin , Mohamed Yusof Zainab
Published: December 2021

Previously, Integrated Flood Management (IFM) system has been implemented by several hydrological researchers in order to minimize the global flood risk by providing a convincing flood risk assessment and management, as well as sustainable adaptation and disaster alleviation policy. Flood risk is dynamic interaction between natural disasters and human vulnerability. Basically, methods for quantifying flood risk are fully-fledged but tend to treat artificial and economic vulnerabilities as static or subject to changes in external trends. However, interpretive research is rarely conducted to investigate people’s decision-making and acknowledge to flood warnings during flood event. The integration of Agent-Based Model (ABM) in simulating the interactions and dynamic responses of individual or organizations in a spatial environment during the flood events or prior to the events were reviewed. The ABM model is defined as a computational method used to simulate the behaviour and the interaction of autonomous decision-making entities in a network or system it is used to evaluate their impact on the entire system. Therefore, the ABM approach has been chosen to emulate the complexity of the IFM process due to its capability and flexibility to simulate the dynamic of human-environment scenarios in the spatial environment.

Authors: Sani Mohammed Jawaluddeen , Musliman Ivin Amri , Abdul Rahman Alias
Published: December 2021

Building information modelling (BIM) and geographical information systems (GIS) domains immensely contribute to a digital representation of architectural and environmental bodies respectively. BIM is endorsed in order to enhance the Architecture Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry process to save time, cost and speed up the project, and more so, to minimise the frequent requests of information by the stakeholders within the industry. On the other hand, the Geographic Information System (GIS) has been increasingly used to generate detailed 3D data, geolocation and spatial analysis. Both BIM and GIS provide 3D data for the development of 3D city models, digital twin, smart city, AEC etc. However, there are significant diverse between the two in terms of their characteristics, scope of interest and focus that makes it difficult to easily be achieved. The amalgamation of the two worlds provides a clear picture of a built environment based on data (geometry and semantics) integration, which reinforces the enhancement of the three-dimensional (3D) applications in general into the digital world. This paper presents a methodology that semantically integrates the two worlds through their standards that is the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) which is an open standard, selected because it is the typical free standard to exchange data in the BIM world and City Geography Markup Language (CityGML) is the most leading 3D city model standard in 3D GIS. This is carried out by performing a semantic mapping between the two standards, converting the encoding that the two standards use from STEP in IFC(BIM) to XML in CityGML (3D GIS), by providing a basic implementation created using Python to combine the above tasks.

Authors: Pawlak Piotr , Podgórniak Jakub , Kozieł Grzegorz
Published: December 2021

The computing power of modern computers is sufficient to break many cryptographic keys, therefore it is necessary to create an additional security layer which hides the very fact of transmitting a secret message. For this purpose, steganographic methods can be used. The article is devoted to the analysis of the possibility of implementing digital images steganography with the use of the C # programming language. Firstly, existing libraries and mathematical transformations which can help with performing steganography were found. Also, own code solutions were implemented. In order to objectively evaluate the methods of data hiding, the parameters describing the degree of distortion of transforms and hidden images were calculated. Subsequently, optimal solutions for specific problems were identified and demonstrational data hiding was performed. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that it is possible to successfully implement steganography in the C # language. There are many ready-made libraries and tools, the effectiveness of which has been verified in the conducted analysis. Due to the contradictory of stenographic requirements, it is not possible to meet all of them optimally, i.e. undetectability, resistance to destruction and information capacity. For this reason, it is not possible to clearly indicate the best solutions. In order to achieve satisfactory results, one should look for compromises between the set requirements.

Published: December 2021

The results of comparative analysis of data of data of changes CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere over the polar regions adjacent to the "Akademik Vernadsky" station (the size of the study area 1.5° × 1.5°, or approximately 166 km by 75 km) were obtained satellite Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO-2) and air temperature according to ground meteorological observations at the "Akademik Vernadsky" station for 2014-2020. From obtained graph, we can see that the air temperature and CO2 concentration in the atmosphere over the study area tend to increase slowly. In addition, the analysis of the above results showed that in this way it is possible to determine the integrated trends in the impact of greenhouse gas content in the atmosphere on air temperature. A comparative analysis of data of data of changes CO2 concentrations according to OCO-2 between regions where there is a direct anthropogenic impact (Ukraine) and the region where anthropogenic impact is minimized (areas adjacent to the "Akademik Vernadsky" station) for 2014-2020. It was found that CO2 concentrations over areas with direct anthropogenic impact are growing much faster than over areas where there is no such impact at all. However, we see that CO2 concentrations tend to increase in both cases. Based on the obtained results, it was determined that conducting a comprehensive, simultaneous and consistent with satellite observations measurements of various series of variables, will provide an opportunity to optimize information of changes in climatic parameters (air temperature) in the polar regions.

Authors: Tumanggor Agustina Hotma Uli , Syarief Akhmad , Atmana Fendy Ari
Published: December 2021

X is a company that works in the field of oil palm plantations and has a palm oil production capacity of 60 tons per hour. The products of palm oil that have been produced are Crude Palm Oil (CPO) and Palm Kernel Oil (PKO). The various kinds of waste produced by the company as a result of the palm oil industry process are liquid waste, palm kernels, fiber and seed shells. Liquid waste is used as organic fertilizer for oil palm plantations which will be sent through a liquid waste pump machine. Damage that occurs to the liquid waste pump machine will inhibit the delivery of liquid waste to the plantation, thus affecting the yield of palm oil from the plantation itself. This study describes the application of repair and preventive maintenance policies for liquid waste pump machines by looking at the frequency of damage to the liquid waste pump engine and predicting the delivery of liquid waste to the pump engine for the next period as well as providing solutions for handling damage that occurs in the liquid waste pump engine. From the results of calculations on data processing, the results of how to control the causes of damage that occur in the liquid waste pump machine can be overcome by using the Preventive Maintenance Method within a period of 1 month and maintenance of every component in the liquid waste pump machine within 1 cycle, namely 357.27 hours with a repair time of 5.82 hours. Controlling other causes of damage is to add a filter to the liquid waste pool so that stones, leaves and liquid waste husks do not hinder the suction pipe of the liquid waste pump machine.

Published: December 2021

The Barito River as the largest and longest river in South Kalimantan has been convicted as the most polluted river on an international level. Where one of the most commonly found compounds is the heavy metal lead (Pb) with a high enough levels that alternatives are needed to reduce the levels of the metal. One way to reduce the levels of such heavy metals is to use activated carbon hyacinth. So the activated carbon from hyacinth is made in accordance with SII No.0258-79 and knows the effect of variations in the administration of activated carbon hyacinth at a time of 15 minutes, 30 minutes and 45 minutes in lowering the levels of lead heavy metals (Pb). The research method used to determine the effect of variations in the administration of activated carbon hyacinth is by quantitative testing using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry tool. The results showed that activated carbon hyacinth has met SII No.0258-79 with a randemen test result of 15%, water content of 3%, and absorption of iodine of 241.16 mg / gram. Significant value produced 0.742 with regression value (r) 0.999 and resulted in decreased lead metal levels in the variation of 15 minutes activated carbon administration of -0.030 mg / l with an absorption of 120%, 30 minutes of 0.073 mg / l with an absorption of 48% and 45 minutes of -0.097 mg / l with an absorption of 167%. Hyacinth activated carbon can be used to lower the levels of lead heavy metals (Pb) with a maximum contact time of 45 minutes by 167%.
Analiza skuteczności wyznaczania poziomej krzywizny osi toru z wykorzystaniem ruchomej cięciwy
Authors: Koc Władysław
Published: December 2021

W artykule podjęto zagadnienie wyznaczania krzywizny poziomej toru kolejowego, zwracając uwagę, że najczęściej odbywa się to w sposób pośredni – na podstawie strzałek pomierzonych od cięciwy rozciągniętej wzdłuż toru. Dalsze wykorzystywanie tej metody nie miałoby uzasadnienia, gdyby istniała metoda bezpośredniego wyznaczania krzywizny. Przedstawiono więc założenia nowej metody wyznaczania krzywizny poziomej opisanej w „Archives of Civil Engineering”, iss. 4/2020. Podstawę tej metody stanowią zmiany kątów nachylenia ruchomej cięciwy w kartezjańskim układzie współrzędnych. Podjęto dwie istotne kwestie szczegółowe: wpływu długości cięciwy na uzyskiwane wartości krzywizny oraz możliwości określania położenia punktów granicznych pomiędzy poszczególnymi elementami geometrycznymi. Analizowane warianty wynikały z rodzaju zastosowanych krzywych przejściowych. Stwierdzono, że długość cięciwy nie odgrywa istotnej roli przy wyznaczaniu krzywizny i nie stwarza ograniczeń w stosowaniu opisanej metody. Jednocześnie zwrócono uwagę na precyzję określenia charakteru krzywizny oraz zgodność z przebiegiem teoretycznym na krzywych przejściowych. Z analizy wynika, że w metodzie ruchomej cięciwy określenie położenia punktów granicznych pomiędzy poszczególnymi elementami geometrycznymi jest możliwe, przy czym wymagana długość cięciwy musi być dostosowana do rodzaju krzywej przejściowej. Słowa kluczowe: droga kolejowa, krzywizna pozioma, ruchoma cięciwa, metodyka pomiarów

Physical Origins of Universal Mobility in MOSFET Inversion Layers: Conservation Laws
Authors: Shoucair F.
Published: December 2021

The salient properties of charge flow (or current) along the MOSFET’s inversion layer are shown to be consilient with a river’s flow in a gravitational potential field, insofar as both are fundamentally governed by energy conservation principles, and their laminar and turbulent conditions determined by friction losses at shallow depths. We establish analytically that the low-field, "universal" effective mobility, μeff , long reported to vary as ~(E*T)-1/3 for transversal fields below 0.5 MV/cm, is manifestation and consequence of both energy and momentum conservation under laminar flow conditions and quantum mechanical effects, in which case the inversion layer’s mean thickness also varies as ~(E*T)-1/3 up to a maximum value E*T ≈ 0.35 MV/cm at 300K, determined only by interface "terrain" amplitude and fundamental constants.
Modeling the MOSFET’s Inversion Layer and its Universal Mobility: A New Experimental Method1
Authors: Shoucair F.
Published: December 2021

We formulate a simple, yet accurate, model for a non-uniform mobile charge density ρ(z) giving rise to a mean potential Ψ* across an inversion layer of finite extent, which we measure by means of a novel, sensitive, experimental method involving nulls of harmonic distortion components (D2 ≈ D3 ≈ 0) of the drain current under sinusoidal excitation below saturation. We thus establish analytically and experimentally, that the low-field, "universal" effective mobility µeff varies as ~(E*T)-1/3 for transversal fields ET*= -(1/εsi)·[ɳQi + Qb] ≤ 0.5 MV/cm, wherein ɳ varies continuously between 1/2 and 1/3. We also establish and observe that the higher order, derivative, parameter θT quantifying µeff’s modulation by E*T varies as ~(E*T)-5/3 under laminar flow conditions, thereby further corroborating the foregoing effects and interpretations thereof.

Published: December 2021

News headlines are key elements in spreading news. They are unique texts written in a special language which enables readers understand the overall nature and importance of the topic. However, this special language causes difficulty for readers in understanding the headline. To illuminate this difficulty, it is argued that a pragmatic analysis from a speech act theory perspective is a plausible tool for a headline analysis. The main objective of the study is to pragmatically analyze the most frequently employed types of speech acts in the news headlines covering COVID-19 in Aljazeera English website. To this end, Bach and Harnish's (1979) Taxonomy of Speech Acts has been adopted to analyze the data. Thirty headlines have been collected from Aljazeera English news website. The findings have shown that constatives and directives occur more frequently than commissives. Other types, like acknowledgments, effectives and verdictives are not employed. The study has concluded that to pay a special emphasis on COVID-19 as an issue that preoccupied and endangered the world, headline writers of Aljazeera website uses specific speech acts, constatives and directives, more frequently than others. This makes it clear that using specific speech acts in writing headlines is an effective way for inspiring readers to easily understand the intended message.

The interest in pre-service teacher training has become influential in teaching English as a foreign language, and the purpose of this training course is to prepare qualified teachers to teach effectively through the application of this technique by undergraduate students. This research aims to find out the effect of using the seven principles of good practice as a teaching technique on the fourth stage student-teachers’ performance at the College of Education for Women/University of Baghdad, during the academic year 2017-2018. The sample includes (60) students selected according to the stratified sampling method. The observational checklist used by the department to assess the student teachers’ performance during the practicum period is used as a study instrument.  This quantitative study used the quasi-experimental design of two independent samples, experimental control groups and the control group trained traditionally. The former group is designed to verify the hypothesis that states, “there is no statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental group trained by seven principles of good practice and that of the control group trained traditionally in their teaching performance”. The study has concluded that the hypothesis is rejected according to the result of the T-test of two independent samples. Accordingly, the researcher recommends the university administration to use new techniques in learning and overcoming the difficulties that the student teachers face and the shortcoming encountered during the educational process.

Research on the extent to which health practitioners in West Kalimantan understand the important role of pharmacogenomics have not been reported to date. West Kalimantan (Kalbar) is known as a province characterized by three main ethnicities, namely Chinese, Malay and Dayak. Therefore, the potential application of pharmacogenomics for the treatment of patients in health facilities across the province is very possible. This study aimed to measure the level of knowledge and perceptions of health practitioners (participants) about the role of pharmacogenomics in patient treatment plans. This research is descriptive with a questionnaire-based survey method. The data analyzed is primary data from the answers of participants to the online questionnaire. Based on the responses of 106 participants (involving doctors, pharmacists, nurses, midwives, and others) from various cities and districts in West Kalimantan, it was found that the level of knowledge was very good (75.5%), good (17.0%), and not good. (7.5%). The level of participants' perceptions of the role of pharmacogenomics are those who have positive perceptions (97.2%) and negative perceptions (2.8%). It can be concluded that 75% of health practitioners in West Kalimantan have a very good level of knowledge and 97% of them own a positive perception of the importance of pharmacogenomics.

This study aims to determine the effect of lowering blood glucose. The study was conducted in an experimental laboratory in vivo with one group randomized prepost-test design. The extract was made through the gradual maceration process of Benalu Kersen leaf simplicia with ethanol solvent. The extract was divided into three groups with doses of 65 mg / kg, 130 mg / kg, and 260 mg / kg of body weight. The sample used was 9 male white rats (Rattus norvegicus) which were randomly divided into three groups. Blood glucose levels were measured before induction, after induction, after 7 days, and after 14 days of giving the extract. Data analysis was performed in the form of homogeneity test, normality test, paired t-test using Excel and SPSS programs. There was significant decrease in blood glucose levels on day 0 to day 7 in dose II group. The largest percentage reduction in blood glucose levels was shown in dose II group, namely 32.6%, followed by dose I group at 18.89%. The ethanol extract of Benalu kersen leaves did have an effect of lowering blood glucose levels on alloxan-induced male white rats.

Pharmaceutical care by pharmacists in the management have an important role of treatment monitoring. Optimal asthma treatment for patients requires cooperation between patients, healthcares, involving doctors, nurses, and pharmacists. Therefore the purpose of this study is to know the perception of healthcares and patients about asthma treatment and pharmaceutical cares on asthma mangement. The method of this study is based on phenomenological perspective with interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) on pulmonologist, outpatient asthma, pharmacist and nurse who directly correlated with asthma treatment at a hospital in Surabaya conducted for two years using purposive sampling. The results of this study indicate that asthma patients know how to manage asthma and use asthma drugs well. In addition it is known that asthma patients feel the role of doctors in the treatment of asthma is very dominating; pulmonologists and nurses perceive that the role of pharmacists is limited to drug delivery; and pharmacists assume that their role has been well done although not all patients get the same asthma treatment education. It is therefore necessary to evaluate the role of pharmacist in performing its role in the treatment of this asthma in order for a more harmonious collaboration.
