A framework for progress measurement based on integrated monitoring of prerequisites and work performance
Authors: Marinković Dejan , Ivanović Marija , Simić Nevena , Knežević Nikola
Published: July 2024

The successful implementation of construction projects necessitates the establishment of an efficient system for project execution planning and control, with parameters that ensure an effective assessment of the construction work status, timely detection of variance causes, and reliable trend analysis. In this regard, a set of parameters has been developed, among which the actual progress of works on a project holds a significant place. Existing approaches to progress measurement is mostly focused on studying methods for calculating the percentage of completed works and their applicability to specific types of works and organizational levels. However, key issues persist, such as delayed identification of variance causes and inadequate method sensitivity to initial variances when damages are still minor, and potential effects of corrective measures are greatest. Therefore, this paper proposes a framework for progress measurement based on integrated monitoring of prerequisites for tasks and work performances. While progress monitoring at the project level is organized within workflows, monitoring within each workflow is provided for sub-workflows related to ensuring prerequisites, material procurement, and construction work execution. Visualization of sub-workflows is facilitated through planned and actual cumulative curves of completed works in percentage, whose interrelationships promptly indicate potential project issues. The application of the proposed framework ensures better synchronization of construction works, improved control of prerequisites, rapid detection of causes, along with efficient variance management. The framework includes a clear division of responsibilities for implementing sub-workflows, where site management and specialized services of a company are responsible for ensuring prerequisites and material procurement, while production forces of a company primarily handle the execution of construction works. Such an approach allows for direct determination of issues or quick and efficient delineation of responsibilities, which represents a common issue in practice. This contributes to the motivation of employees and enhances the performance of the project management team.
The effect of economic freedoms on public debt in Türki̇ye
Authors: Üre Salim , Karaköy Çağatay
Published: July 2024

While the fourth industrial revolution is happening at great speed, it is an inevitable fact that without significant economic investments, countries will enter a stagnant economy and lose their international competitiveness. Large amounts of funds are needed to invest in these areas. For this reason, countries that cannot provide sufficient funds through national and international trade need public borrowing to finance investments. Given these explanations, the study focused on analyzing a dataset encompassing the share of public debt in GDP and the sub-criteria of the economic freedom index for the years 1999-2022. The objective was to explore the influence of economic freedoms on the economy. Public debt in Türkiye ARDL (Autoregressive Distributed Lag) method was used to determine the short- and long-term relationship. According to the results of the analysis, business freedom and tax burden, which are the sub-criteria of economic freedom, have a positive effect on public expenditures; Monetary freedom, trade freedom, financial freedom and investment freedom have been found to have a negative impact. It is expected that these borrowings will turn into a burden on the country's economy in the short term and gain in the long term.

Published: July 2024

Awareness that thoughts cannot always be controlled develops gradually. The aim of this research was to determine the level and quality of preschoolers' understanding of intrusive thoughts, relative to their gender, age, emotion preceding those thoughts, thoughts belonging (oneself or another), and their dividedness (capability to simultaneously think about more things). The sample included 71 children. The assessment was based on the Task of understanding intrusive thoughts and emotions they cause, which consisted of two stories -with a happy and a sad event. Regarding the level of understanding of intrusive thoughts, the results show that participants were more successful with the story with the sad event, than with the story with the happy event. Age was correlated with success only in the story with the happy event. There were no differences in understanding of intrusive thoughts relative to gender and thoughts belonging. Most of the participants showed an understanding that thoughts could not always be controlled willingly. Participants more often responded that the character did not want to proceed thinking about the sad, rather than the happy event. Almost all participants considered that the character could not think about two things simultaneously. The results show a great variety in children's understanding of others' feelings, their causes, and consequences. Regarding the role that the understanding of intrusive thoughts has in cognitive and emotional regulation, the results of this research point to the importance of quantitative and qualitative analysis of the understanding of intrusive thoughts at the preschool age.

Published: July 2024

Vehicle manufacturers are making great strides in developing self-driving cars that don't harm the climate. The goal of everyone, be they large industrial companies or startups, is to reach vehicles that will be self-driving and emit no harmful gases as soon as possible through innovative technologies and the development of telecommunications. The share of vehicles in sales is increasing year by year. The proclaimed goals are expected to be achieved in the largest number of developed countries. Self-driving vehicles offer great potential to improve road efficiency, reduce traffic accidents, increase productivity, and minimise our environmental impact. Looking ahead, electric vehicles are increasingly on the roads, while driverless cars and delivery drones are seemingly poised for more widespread adoption in the future. Autonomous vehicles are likely to be the next stage in the continued transformation of motor insurance. Therefore, the authors consider this topic to be relevant both from the economic and legal aspects.

Propaganda política y su difusión cultural en España: Festival VIVA ‘22
Authors: MARTÍNEZ JIMÉNEZ ESPERANZA
Published: July 2024

La situación sociopolítica y cultural de España, ha ido poco a poco desfigurándose desde la crisis económica mundial sufrida en 2008, pasando del clásico bipartidismo conformado por el Partido Socialista Obrero Español (de centro-izquierda), y el Partido Popular (de centro-derecha), a un nuevo amplio espectro que da cabida a los partidos populistas Unidas Podemos y Sumar (de extrema izquierda) y VOX (de extrema derecha).
En concreto, este último ha ido en ascenso durante los últimos años, entrando en el escenario político en los comicios de 2018, al conseguir 12 escaños en el Parlamento de Andalucía. Hoy en día, se sitúa como la tercera fuerza política en el Congreso de los Diputados con 33 escaños, por delante de otras coaliciones y partidos. VOX siempre ha sido un partido mediático y polémico, ya sea por las acciones de la cúpula del partido que lidera Santiago Abascal Conde o por sus entidades afiliadas como el sindicato Solidaridad. Tanto es así que, mediante su espectáculo lúdico-cultural VIVA ‘22: La Historia que hicimos juntos, presentó su programa político “España Decide”, complementario a la “Agenda España” con la que hacen frente a la Agenda 2030 del Gobierno nacional actual.
En este sentido, el objetivo principal de la investigación es dar a conocer la organización de eventos y el empleo de la historia de España como herramientas útiles a la hora de hacer llegar la propaganda política, no sólo a adultos; sino también a los más pequeños dentro de cada hogar. La metodología empleada será tanto de corte cuantitativo como cualitativo, empleando, por un lado, el análisis del discurso para líderes del partido y componentes de la organización del evento, como el análisis de contenido, para analizar los componentes del evento y la publicidad de este en la redes sociales Instagram y YouTube. Sin olvidar el hilo conductor de la cultura histórica española.

Del “todos nacen libres e iguales” a la clasificación algorítmica de los que vivimos o vivirán
Authors: Sánchez Férriz Remedio
Published: July 2024

Todo sistema democrático, y en especial el nuestro (que, por su retraso, asume las experiencias de las Constituciones de la segunda postguerra) es fruto de una evolución progresiva que se inicia con el constitucionalismo en el siglo XVIII. Con tales bases hemos alcanzado los máximos niveles de democracia y respeto a la libertad y la igualdad. Sin embargo, en las últimas décadas se están desconociendo dichas bases; aun respetando en general los derechos y libertades se han ido degradando las reglas y principios que servían de garantía y eran auxiliares de tal finalidad última de lograr la libertad, la igualdad (y solidaridad o fraternidad). Ya no hay un rey absoluto ni un Leviatan que exija nuestros derechos a cambio de la seguridad. El Estado ha ido evolucionando hacia una mayor solidaridad y ha derivado de los derechos toda posible consecuencia. Pero la dinámica partidista se ha instalado en todos los principales órganos y ha ignorado la debida lealtad al sistema democrático. Nada se respeta, o muy poco, como vamos a ver. La democracia es considerada por cada bloque de partidos en forma realmente sesgada y adaptada a los intereses propios.
Y en tanto con todo ello se ha logrado acaparar las instituciones e ignorar los mandatos constitucionales, las nuevas tecnologías (de las que tanto se pudo esperar) sirven a las deslealtades en dos formas: en primer lugar, estando al servicio de los grandes actores (públicos y/o privados) y no de las personas; y, en segundo lugar, desviando la atención del público al que se entretiene con discursos que poco tienen que ver con la realidad; y también se desvía la atención de la doctrina, hambrienta de novedades y convencida de que se puede parar la abducción de las instituciones que tranquilamente se ha planeado y se está aplicando. Ya no sé si somos libres, pero sí somos iguales, igualmente indefensos ante la invasión de una inteligencia que ya no es (tan) humana.

Published: July 2024

Limited clinical trials have evaluated the effectiveness of mindfulness for sexual functioning in men and the existing studies have targeted white male populations. The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Intervention (MBCI) for erectile dysfunction (ED) in n=68 African Caribbean men aged 31–50 years old   A mixed methods approach was adopted to establish the feasibility of a brief online MBCI, using a waitlist-controlled randomised trial with an experimental and delayed group and a content analysis. Participants completed a series of assessments measuring ED, sexual self-efficacy, well-being, and cognitive mindfulness at weeks 0, 4, and 12 (follow-up). They also completed a series of feedback questions on their experiences of the intervention at weeks 0, 4, and 12.   Higher levels of erectile functioning, cognitive mindfulness, sexual self-efficacy, and well-being were reported post-intervention and at the 12-week follow-up.  A content analysis of participant feedback responses yielded favourable outcomes, with participants suggesting that they continue to engage in cognitive mindfulness exercises to support them in “having better sex”. This research is the first to look at MCBI in African-Caribbean males with ED and demonstrated the effectiveness of this online intervention; however, it warrants replication with a larger group of ethnically and culturally diverse participants with ED.

In the name of investment, these fraudulent activities never seem to disappear in Indonesia, as if people have never learned from previous experiences. This can happen because even though the level of financial literacy has increased, if someone carries out their activities, their finances are not only always influenced by a high level of intelligence, but they are also affected. by psychological factors, so it is natural that fraudulent investment incidents always occur. This community service activity takes the form of outreach and community outreach to the target community which is divided into two stages. The first stage, planning between the organizer and the target community begins with completing an administrative recommendation form and a letter of willingness for the target which contains roles, duties, principal and functions.

Qawaid Fiqhiyyah Tentang Zihar
Authors: Heriamsyah Simanjuntak  , Mhd Amar Adly  , Heri Firmansyah
Published: July 2024

This research aims to examine the concept of Zihar in the Islamic context, which refers to the action of a husband who utters words that resemble his wife with something that is haram for him, such as a mother or sister, without being accompanied by a legal divorce. The practice of Zihar is seen as a reprehensible act and contrary to the principles of justice and equality in husband-wife relationships in Islam. This research uses qualitative research methods which aim to describe data through a series of sentences. The method chosen is the descriptive method, which relies on data sources in the form of words, images and information from books, journals and other scientific works. The research results show that in the Qur'an, Allah confirms the prohibition against Zihar and determines kafarat (ransom) as a consequence of this action. Zihar speech should be avoided by husbands under all circumstances, emphasizing the importance of respect, justice and equality in the husband-wife relationship. Zihar is considered an illegal form of divorce in Islam, and although it does not directly result in divorce, makes the wife unlawful for the husband without a legal divorce process. The importance of good and understanding communication between husband and wife is also highlighted to prevent actions that are detrimental to either party. In addition, the consequences of Zihar in Islamic law and its impact in maintaining harmony and justice in husband-wife relationships are explained in detail. This research also confirms that Zihar is not an accepted practice in Islamic teachings, and that this act can have serious consequences in the husband-wife relationship. In a modern context, understanding the laws of Zihar can help Muslims maintain a just and harmonious marriage relationship in accordance with religious teachings.

Published: July 2024

This study was carried out to construct a low cost wood charcoal making kiln by using an empty oil drum. The performance of this kiln was examined using three types of wood which are abundantly available in Bangladesh. These were: Mango wood, Rain tree wood and physicnut wood. During the experimentation data on duration of burning, yield of charcoal, ash production and weight loss were recorded using the standard methods. Yield of the kiln was calculated using the standard formula. The yield of the kiln was 28.80 percent (by weight) using mango wood with an initial moisture content of 24.76 percent. The yield of the kiln varied with duration of burning time and also with the types of wood used. Physicnut produced about 25.11 percent charcoal when the moisture content of the wood was 36.27 percent. Similarly the efficiency of the kiln using Rain tree wood was 28.57 percent when the moisture content was 27.67 percent. This kiln is simple in construction and it can be constructed using locally available materials by the local artisan. A single person can operate this kiln easily. The construction cost also was very low (about Tk. 1300 = US$ 19). The poor people of the rural area in Bangladesh can easily use the drum kiln for producing charcoal.

Algae are known to all plant researchers for its importance to produce bio-fuel. Many works are being done in USA and other countries and they are producing bio-fuel which is equivalent to petroleum diesel fuel. These are plantlike organisms and abundantly grown in sweet and marine water. Types of algae, reproduction system, culturing technique, harvesting and oil extraction techniques are elaborately described in this paper. Algae contain at least 70 percent oil which is more than any other oil producing plants grown in the world. Bangladesh has wide scope to cultivate algae and to produce oil. The production method of oil from algae is not much complicated and industry for oil production can be established.

The main purpose of the study was to select minimum cost inputs and selection of economic set of machines and implements for tilling to threshing operations in Boro rice cultivation. Primary and secondary data from various sources were collected and used in this piece of research. A procedure was developed to select the minimum cost inputs and select an economic set of machines for each farm holdings, considering the minimum cost of inputs, operating costs and capacities of alternatives for each operation, size of annual operational farm holdings and farmers access to the machines. BRRI-dhan 29 was found profitable among Boro rice variety and Leaf Colour Chart (LCC) appeared as best option for determining the amount of fertilizer requirement for Boro rice cultivation. For tilling operation, custom hire service of Tractor appeared profitable for a yearly operational farm holding of 8.29 hectares and above 8.29 hectares ownership of Tractor is profitable. For irrigation options, hired DTW was found profitable for farm sizes less than 2 hectares and STW owning was found profitable for the farm size exceeding 2 hectares. Drum seeder, Japanese Rice Weeder and hired Reaper were found significantly superior for all farm holdings. BAUzia fertilizer distributor was found profitable to the farmers when the annual use exceeded 1.12 hectares. For spraying options, Compression sprayer and Knapsack sprayer could be beneficial to the farmers when the annual use exceed 2.05 hectares and 5.71 hectares, respectively. Owned Reaper was found profitable to the farmers when the annual use exceeded 2.88 hectares. For threshing options, Closed drum power thresher was found profitable to the farmers when the annual use exceed 7.32 hectares. A computer simulation model was developed using Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 language for easy computation and selection of minimum cost inputs and economic set of machines and implements on the basis of farm size. Agricultural Engineers and DAE personnel may use this expert system as a guiding tool for suggesting farmers for Boro rice cultivation in Bangladesh.

An improved version of manually operated push type urea briquette (guti) applicator was designed and developed in the Department of Farm Power and Machinery, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh. There were four small wheels which were fabricated using small steel rings instead of skids. The discharge tubes of the improved model were modified with the additional bended PVC tubes. In the laboratory test the effective field capacity was found 0.3554 ha/hr for urea briquette (guti) size of 2.7 gm. The missing rate, applicator capacity, average distance between dropped guti, depth of application of guti, covering performance, and force requirement were 29.17%, 8.402 kg/hr, 41.61 cm, 5.02 cm, 43.33%, and 69.18 N, respectively. The device needed further improvement for reduction of its missing rate and covering performance.

Alternate to puddling, unpuddled transplanting is a new concept of rice cultivation. This experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance of mechanical rice transplanter in unpuddled condition under minimum tillage practices in drought prone zone representing sandy loam soil in wet season 2012. Tillage treatments were (i) conventional puddling (CT) in puddled condition and (ii) no tillage (NT) (iii) bed planting (BP) (iv) and strip tillage (ST) in unpuddled condition. Results indicated that unpuddled transplanting saved fuel, time and labour remarkably in land preparation. Mechanical transplanting reduced drudgery of the farmers and ensured timely operation. Transplanting time was higher in unpuddled plot than puddle one. Floating hill was also higher in unpuddled plot due to increase in soil hardness and unable to provide proper anchorage and gripping force to seedlings. Grain yield of unpuddled transplanting was similar to puddled transplanting. Water productivity was the lowest in unpuddled than puddled transplanting. Input cost was higher in conventional puddling than unpuddled transplanting. Mechanical transplanting overcome the constraints of manual transplanting in unpuddled condition. It might be an effective technology in rice production with limited seedling floating (9-17%) in sandy loam soil.
