Selection and use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in construction projects Past and future research

Resolution (ADR) selection and use has been gaining prevalent interest from project practitioners and researchers. This study presents a systematic review of the factors influencing ADR selection and use in construction projects for the last 32 years. A total of 446 articles from 21 construction project related journals were identified and reviewed. Among these, only 13 articles focused on the factors influencing ADR selection and use. These 13 articles were then analysed, synthesized, and summarized in terms of the research methods used distribution across countries and citation influences The studies on the selection and use of ADR were mainly based on utility. Utility factors offer less conceptual basis to explain decision making. To address this deficiency, this study reclassified ADR selection and use with reference to Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) based framework. The potential development and research avenues of using the TPB framework were also discussed.

Applying Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Group Format
Venue: Child maltreatment

Trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF CBT) a well established, evidence based treatment for children who have experienced trauma, has been increasingly utilized in a group format. Group therapy formats are appealing because they can be highly effective and have the potential to reach larger numbers of clients. Moreover, TF CBT group delivery may be particularly valuable in reducing the feelings of shame, isolation, and stigma experienced by youth and their caregivers in the aftermath of traumatic experiences. This article reviews the group TF CBT research, discusses the therapeutic benefits of TF CBT therapy groups, and provides clinical and logistical guidance for implementing TF CBT in group format, including a session by session protocol. Future directions for research and clinical work in this area are also discussed.

Proceso de ensenanza aprendizaje de la lengua inglesa en escuelas publicas chilenas: ?Produccion o reproduccion?

espanolLas bases curriculares para la ensenanza de la lengua inglesa en Chile no siempre concuerdan con el proceso de ensenanza aprendizaje en el aula. El Ministerio de Educacion propone el desarrollo de la competencia comunicativa y contrariamente, segun la evidencia cientifica, las clases de ingles en el sector publico priorizan la repeticion y traduccion del lexico e utilizacion explicita de las estructuras gramaticales. A esto se suma que los componentes humanos y culturales del proceso en estudio no estan dialecticamente relacionados entre si para lograr un fin comun. Mediante la revision de los planes y programas de sexto basico, la autora analiza criticamente estas disonancias y declara la urgente necesidad de definir, de manera cooperativa, los fundamentos teoricos del proceso de ensenanza aprendizaje de esta lengua extranjera en Chile, con el fin de alcanzar la armonia de dichos componentes y permitir, en consecuencia, una comunicacion natural y eficaz. EnglishThe national curriculum for teaching English in Chile does not always correspond to the learning teaching process in the classroom. The Ministry of Education proposes the development of students' communicative competence, and contrarily, according to scientific evidence, English lessons in public schools are focused on lexicon repetition and translation and on the explicit use of grammar structures. In addition, the human and cultural components of the learning teaching process are not dialectically related in order to reach a common goal. Through the analysis of the sixth grade curriculum, the author critically analyses these contradictions and states the urgent need to define, in a cooperative manner, the theoretical fundaments of the teaching learning process of English as a foreign language in Chile, with the purpose of reaching components harmony and therefore, allow a natural and effective communication.
Analysis of socio environmental impacts of the loss of urban trees and vegetation in Lahore, Pakistan: a review of public perception
Venue: Ecological Processes

IntroductionThis paper focused on the process of urbanization in Lahore and its correlation with the loss of urban vegetation and perceived environmental impacts based on local population's perception through administration of a questionnaire survey. Lahore is known as a city of gardens and green spaces in Pakistan and always possessed rich green character in its long history. For the past few decades due to rapid urbanization, the city has lost its aesthetically important urban vegetation, tress, and greenery. The field studies and remote sensing data revealed that the loss of vegetation has been experienced at an astonishing rate in many union councils of the city.MethodsThis study was conceived to probe importance and value of the urban tress and vegetation of Lahore in an environmental context and its general importance for the residents of the city. The objectives were to analyze the role of vegetation in the life of citizens; the specific objective was to reveal the attitudes and responses of city dwellers about loss of urban trees/vegetation and its role in the overall environment, process of urbanization, and maintenance strategies. In the present paper, perception of local people (n 2080) regarding the socio environmental impacts due to the ongoing process of urbanization and detriments of vegetation loss has been probed through administration of a household questionnaire. The collected data has been tested with respondent's age, gender, marital status, education, monthly income, and occupation.ResultsThis study was an attempt to document and explore the change in historical transformation in vegetation and perception of the sample population of Lahore. This perception survey has revealed that urbanization is the major cause of loss of vegetation and has caused a number of perceived environmental problems in the city.ConclusionsThe study underlined an analysis of people's perceptions regarding the loss of trees and vegetation The perceived socio environmental findings revealed that the urbanization and population growth are the fundamental reasons for trees/vegetation loss in the city.
Interactions between energy consumption, international trade, and real income in Canada: An empirical investigation from a new version of the Solow growth model

This study investigates the empirical relationship between energy consumption, international trade, and real income in Canada which has an important role in global energy and trade. It employs bound tests to level relationships and conditional error correction models through ARDL specification to a new version of the Solow Growth model. Using annual data of the 1960 2010 period, results reveal a long term relationship between energy consumption, international trade, and real income in Canada. It is also found that energy exporting activity is the determinant (driver) of energy consumption through the channel of real income and energy consumption is the determinant (driver) of exports through the channel of real income in the long term of the Canadian economy. Exports and energy use are the determinants (drivers) of real income in the long term of the Canadian economy; therefore, as conditional Granger causality tests suggest there is feedback relationship between energy consumption, international trade, and real income in the long term of the Canadian economy. The present study suggests that any energy conservation policies are likely to have negative influence on output and international trade in Canada.
Primary angiitis of the central nervous system: A rare and reversible cause of childhood stroke
Venue: Journal of pediatric neurosciences

Childhood primary angiitis of the central nervous system (cPACNS) is a rare and a potentially fatal cause of childhood stroke. The disease poses a diagnostic dilemma for the clinicians due to overlapping and varied clinical manifestations such as headache, focal acute neurological deficits, cognitive impairment, or encephalopathy. We report a young boy who presented with low grade fever and headache but rapidly progressed to develop acute encephalopathy and quadriparesis with multiple cranial nerve palsies, masquerading as acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. The neuroimaging was suggestive of vasculitis. He was diagnosed as cPACNS and recovered with immunosuppressive therapy.
MRI and clinicopathological correlation of childhood primary central nervous system angiitis.
Venue: Clinical radiology

To review the long term clinical and imaging follow up of eight children with histopathologically proven childhood primary central nervous system angiitis (cPACNS) MATERIALS AND METHODS Eight children (5 17 years, five female and three male patients) with biopsy proven cPACNS vasculitis were reviewed retrospectively. All children were followed at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images of the brain parenchyma and vessel pattern of the arteries of the circle of Willis were reviewed at baseline and follow up(s) All MRI images were correlated with clinical and histopathological findings.  Seven (87.5% children demonstrated parenchymal abnormalities: five of the seven (71.4% presented with non haemorrhagic lesions, one (14.3% presented with a parenchymal bleed, and one (14.3% showed diffuse oedema. One child remained negative for brain parenchymal abnormality at baseline and follow up. Of the seven children with a parenchymal abnormality, parenchymal enhancement was seen in two (28.5% and leptomeningeal enhancement was seen in one child. Only two children had positive diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) restriction at baseline. Five of the seven children (71.4% showed no magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) abnormalities at baseline. In one, MRA detected complete absence of flow. Follow up MRA (24 74 months) demonstrated that five of the seven (71.4% children had progressive paucity of the peripheral vascularity. Two children (28.5% with shorter term follow up (7 and 13 months) did not demonstrate MRA changes.  Long term follow up MRA demonstrated progressive paucity of peripheral vessels, which could be secondary to the inflammation affecting the peripheral vasculature causing reduction in vessel lumen size beyond the resolution of the maximum intensity projection (MIP) reconstruction.
Vessel wall enhancement in the diagnosis and management of primary angiitis of the central nervous system in children
Venue: Brain and Development

We describe two cases of primary angiitis of the central nervous system in children (cPACNS) diagnosed by vessel wall contrast enhancement on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Both patients developed acute cerebral infarction after fever and malaise. In patient 1, a 7 month old boy, MRI revealed extensive cerebral infarction in the right middle cerebral artery (MCA) area and stenosis at the M1 portion of the right MCA. Oral glucocorticoid therapy was initiated. Vessel wall enhancement was ameliorated 3months after onset, and stenosis was mostly restored. Patient 2, a 5 year old boy, suffered from cerebral infarction in the left MCA area, and stenosis was identified in the left internal carotid artery, left MCA, and left posterior cerebral artery. Although vessel wall enhancement was reduced after glucocorticoid therapy, vessel wall enhancement of left MCA re emerged, accompanied by increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and, decreased cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the affected hemisphere. Intravenous methylprednisolone therapy followed by oral glucocorticoid and mycophenolate mofetil resulted in resolution of these findings. Vessel wall enhancement is a promising finding in the diagnosis of cPACNS. Disease flares occur rarely in medium to large vessel cPACNS during dose tapering. Vessel wall enhancement, ESR, and CBF may be useful for the assessment of the activity of angiitis.
Instructors' Perceptions of Instructor Presence in Online Learning Environments.

As online learning continues to grow significantly, various efforts have been explored and implemented in order to improve the instructional experiences of students. Specifically, research indicates that how an instructor establishes his or her presence in an online environment can have important implications for the students' overall learning experience. While instructor presence appears to be an important aspect of online learning, more research is needed to fully understand this construct. The purpose of this study was to consider online instructors' perceptions related to presence, beliefs about actions, and the perceived impact of instructional presence. Using an explanatory multiple case study approach, this research considered the perspectives of 13 instructors teaching in an online master's program at a large Midwestern public university. Results indicate instructors viewed instructor presence as an important component in online courses but their reasons varied. Furthermore, the instructors discussed a number of communication strategies they used, the importance of using such strategies to connect to students, and the potential impact of these strategies on student participation and learning. Additional themes from the interview data are discussed, and implications for online teaching and learning are suggested.
Railway structure monitoring solutions using fibre Bragg grating sensors

This paper analyses the implementation of fibre Bragg grating (FBG) sensors as vibration sensors along a rail in order to obtain usable signals of sufficient interest for weigh in motion and axle counting. Particular attention is also paid to the advantages of these new sensors. This study was completed by numerical analysis of the stress transfer caused by train passage to the track in order to better discern and understand the location and orientation of these sensors. Different data processing methods were tested to estimate the train speed and weight. The results obtained are compared to strain gauge data as well as train manufacturer data (for train axle loads) and video recordings (for train speed) A good agreement is observed between these different results, demonstrating the applicability of FBG sensors to monitoring applications.
Railway track component condition monitoring using optical fibre Bragg grating sensors

The use of optical fibre Bragg grating (FBG) strain sensors to monitor the condition of safety critical rail components is investigated. Fishplates, switchblades and stretcher bars on the Stagecoach Supertram tramway in Sheffield in the UK have been instrumented with arrays of FBG sensors. The dynamic strain signatures induced by the passage of a tram over the instrumented components have been analysed to identify features indicative of changes in the condition of the components.
Fibre Bragg grating sensors for smart railway monitoring

A new approach for structural health and conditions monitoring of trains and railway tracks using fibre Bragg grating sensing networks will be described. Track borne fibre Bragg grating sensing networks are used to monitor moving trains whereas fibre Bragg grating sensing systems installed on passenger trains are used to monitor track condition as well as critical train components, including pantograph catenary interactions. This approach minimizes capital investment to monitor extensive railway networks for safety and maintenance purposes.
Artefacts and agile method tailoring in large scale offshore software development programmes
Venue: Inf. Softw. Technol.

Large scale offshore software development programmes are complex, with challenging deadlines and a high risk of failure. Agile methods are being adopted, despite the challenges of coordinating multiple development teams. Agile processes are tailored to support team coordination. Artefacts are tangible products of the software development process, intended to ensure consistency in the approach of teams on the same development programme. This study aims to increase understanding of how development processes are tailored to meet the needs of large scale offshore software development programmes, by focusing on artefact inventories used in the development process. A grounded theory approach using 46 practitioner interviews, supplemented with documentary sources and observations, in nine international companies was adopted. The grounded theory concepts of open coding, memoing, constant comparison and saturation were used in data analysis. The study has identified 25 artefacts, organised into five categories: feature, sprint, release, product and corporate governance. It was discovered that conventional agile artefacts are enriched with artefacts associated with plan based methods in order to provide governance. The empirical evidence collected in the study has been used to identify a primary owner of each artefact and map each artefact to specific activities within each of the agile roles. The development programmes in this study create agile and plan based artefacts to improve compliance with enterprise quality standards and technology strategies, whilst also mitigating risk of failure. Management of these additional artefacts is currently improvised because agile development processes lack corresponding ceremonies.
AM OER: An Agile Method for the Development of Open Educational Resources
Venue: Informatics Educ.

Open Educational Resources have emerged as important elements of education in the contemporary society, promoting life long and personalized learning that transcends social, eco nomic and geographical barriers. To achieve the potential of OERs and bring impact on education, it is necessary to increase their development and supply. However, one of the current challenges is how to produce quality and relevant OERs to be reused and adapted to different contexts and learning situations. In this paper we proposed an agile method for the development of OERs AM OER, grounded on agile practices from Software Engineering. Learning Design practices from the OULDI project (UK Open University) are also embedded into the AM OER aiming at improving quality and facilitating reuse and adaptation of OERs. In order to validate AM OER, an experiment was conducted by applying it in the development of an OER on software testing. The results showed preliminary evidences on the applicability, effectiveness and ef ciency of the method in the development of OERs.
An approach using agile method for software development
Venue: 2016 International Conference on Innovation and Challenges in Cyber Security (ICICCS INBUSH)

Agile software development has rapidly gained a lot of interest in the field of software engineering. Agile software development, despite its novelty, is an important domain of research within software engineering discipline. Agile software development methods have caught the attention of software engineers and researchers worldwide. Scientific research is yet scarce, there has been little detailed reporting of the usage, penetration and success of agile methodologies in traditional, professional software development organizations. We report on the results of an empirical study conducted at Microsoft to learn about agile development and its perception by people in development, testing, and management. This paper reports results from a study, which aims to organize, analyse and make sense out of the dispersed field of agile software development methods.
FAVORABILITY CONDITIONS IN THE ADOPTION OF AGILE METHOD PRACTICES FOR SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT IN A PUBLIC BANKING

The main purpose of this paper is to propose and test a model to assess the degree of conditions favorability in the adoption of agile methods to develop software where traditional methods predominate. In order to achieve this aim, a survey was applied on software developers of a Brazilian public retail bank. Two different statistical techniques were used in order to assess the quantitative data from the closed questions in the survey. The first, exploratory factorial analysis validated the structure of perspectives related to the agile model of the proposed assessment. The second, frequency distribution analysis to categorize the answers. Qualitative data from the survey opened question were analyzed with the technique of qualitative thematic content analysis. As a result, the paper proposes a model to assess the degree of favorability conditions in the adoption of Agile practices within the context of the proposed study.
Brain EE: Brain Enjoyment Evaluation using Commercial EEG Headband
Venue: PETRA

Previous studies that involve measuring EEG, or electroencephalograms, have mainly been experimentally driven projects; for instance, EEG has long been used in research to help identify and elucidate our understanding of many neuroscientific, cognitive, and clinical issues (e.g. sleep, seizures, memory) However, advances in technology have made EEG more accessible to the population. This opens up lines for EEG to provide more information about brain activity in everyday life, rather than in a laboratory setting. To take advantage of the technological advances that have allowed for this, we introduce the Brain EE system, a method for evaluating user engaged enjoyment that uses a commercially available EEG tool (Muse) During testing, fifteen participants engaged in two tasks (playing two different video games via tablet) and their EEG data were recorded. The Brain EE system supported much of the previous literature on enjoyment; increases in frontal theta activity strongly and reliably predicted which game each individual participant preferred. We hope to develop the Brain EE system further in order to contribute to a wide variety of applications (e.g. usability testing, clinical or experimental applications, evaluation methods, etc.
