Reviewing The Indicators For Assessing Construction Company And Project Performance, Valeriia Arteeva, Angi Skhvediani Dec 2022

Reviewing The Indicators For Assessing Construction Company And Project Performance, Valeriia Arteeva, Angi Skhvediani

CSID Journal of Infrastructure Development

This paper is devoted to analyzing and systematizing indicators for assessing the performance of construction companies and projects. This topic is relevant because financial performance and other indicators of sustainable development are increasingly considered when determining the performance of construction companies. The systems of indicators developed by researchers for construction companies and projects are usually based on one of the three performance assessment models: the Balanced Scorecard Model (BSC), the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM), and the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). In this study, we systematized the indicators presented in 18 papers on performance evaluation of construction companies and …

Evaluating The Implementation Of Solar Home Systems (Shs) In Sumba – East Indonesia, Anita Yuan, Daniel Pinka, Emerita Setyowati

CSID Journal of Infrastructure Development

The lowest electrification rate in Indonesia is in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) province, leading to a high poverty rate and low education level. At the same time, NTT has higher solar irradiance than the Indonesian average, which can be used for electrification. In 2019-2021, seventeen (17) Solar Home Systems (SHS) were installed in churches with no electricity grid connection to address these challenges. These systems serve church community activities as well as learning centers for students. The first system design was improved and adopted in 2020 and 2021 to meet users’ needs better. However, the COVID-19 pandemic made it difficult …

Right Hemispheric White Matter Hyperintensities Improve The Prediction Of Spatial Neglect Severity In Acute Stroke, Lisa Rohrig, Christoph Sperber, Leonardo Bonilha, Chris Rorden, Hans-Otto Karnath Dec 2022

Right Hemispheric White Matter Hyperintensities Improve The Prediction Of Spatial Neglect Severity In Acute Stroke, Lisa Rohrig, Christoph Sperber, Leonardo Bonilha, Chris Rorden, Hans-Otto Karnath

Faculty Publications

White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are frequently observed in brain scans of elderly people. They are asso-ciated with an increased risk of stroke, cognitive decline, and dementia. However, it is unknown yet if measures of WMH provide information that improve the understanding of poststroke outcome compared to only state-of-the-art stereotaxic structural lesion data.We implemented high-dimensional machine learning models, based on support vector regression, to predict the severity of spatial neglect in 103 acute right hemispheric stroke patients.We found that (1) the additional information of right hemispheric or bilateral voxel-based topographic WMH extent indeed yielded a significant improvement in predicting acute neglect …

“Pasmado, Kailangan Bang Mangamba?”: Pagdalumat Sa Salitang Pasma Bilang Isang Konseptong Pilipino, Ian Mark Nibalvos Dec 2022

“Pasmado, Kailangan Bang Mangamba?”: Pagdalumat Sa Salitang Pasma Bilang Isang Konseptong Pilipino, Ian Mark Nibalvos

Malay Journal

Ang salitang pasma ay matagal nang nasa kamalayan ng mga Pilipino ngunit hanggang sa kasalukuyan ay hindi pa rin naipaliliwanag ang kahiwagaang taglay nito. Ito ay walang siyentipikong basehan kaya patuloy pa ring itinuturing bilang isang “folk illness.” Ang saliksik wikang ito ay naglalayong magbigay-kontribusyon sa intelektuwalisasyon ng wikang Filipino sa pamamagitan ng pagtalakay ng konseptong pangkalusugan upang lubos na maunawaan ito ng mga Pilipino. Isang rebyu ng literatura at pag-uugnay-ugnay ng mga ito ang ginawa ng mga mananaliksik upang matugunan ang pagbabatayan sa pagbuo ng konsepto ng pasma. Nabuo ng mga mananaliksik ang sariling depinisyon ng salitang pasma: Ang …

Agenda Control In The Indian Parliament And The Impact On Its Oversight Function – Analysis And Evidence, Maansi Verma Dec 2022

Agenda Control In The Indian Parliament And The Impact On Its Oversight Function – Analysis And Evidence, Maansi Verma

Socio-Legal Review

Separation of powers is understood as the diffusion of powers among different branches of the government, with each branch acting as a check on the other. This principle is considered an anti-thesis to totalitarianism, preventing the absolute concentration of power and thus protecting liberty. The Cabinet-style parliamentary form of government, with its genesis in Britain, fused together the executive with the legislature. This resulted in powerful executives and weakened legislatures with limited oversight capabilities. As institutions evolved over time, internal rules and procedures also evolved both as constraints and enablers of executive dominance, by distributing the powers of agenda control. …


‘Private Acts’ And Structural Inequality: Law And Housing Discrimination, Rowena Robinson Dec 2022

‘Private Acts’ And Structural Inequality: Law And Housing Discrimination, Rowena Robinson

Socio-Legal Review

This paper focuses on law and housing discrimination within the context of a sociological understanding of the cumulative disadvantageous effects of what are legally considered ‘private acts’. It therefore brings a distinct perspective to the examination of vertical versus horizontal rights. The paper particularly focuses on housing discrimination against Muslims in urban areas against the background of marginalisation, conflict, and violence. It seeks to think about housing segregation as both producing discrimination, targeted violence, economic inequality, and social exclusion as well as itself being a product of these factors. Public policy in the form of equal opportunities legislation has been …


Women, Gender Politics, And Resistance In Kashmir, Seema Kazi Dec 2022

Women, Gender Politics, And Resistance In Kashmir, Seema Kazi

Socio-Legal Review

This article focuses on Kashmiri women and the gender politics underpinning the August 5, 2019 revocation of Article 370 in Kashmir. Reclaiming Kashmiri women’s property rights was among the justifications cited by the state for revoking Kashmir’s autonomy. Paradoxically, however, most analyses centered on its political implications. Kashmiri women’s opinions regarding the revocation, the state’s use of the women’s rights argument to justify the same, or Kashmiri women’s rights and experiences in the wake of the revocation were seldom the subjects of discussion or analysis. Beginning with a brief overview of Kashmiri women’s role in the Kashmiri struggle, I juxtapose …

Application Of Ultrasonography In The Diagnosis And Treatment (5% Dextrose Hydrodissection) For Entrapment Of Spinal Accessory Nerve: A Casereport, Tien-Lee Hsieh, Wei-Ting Wu, Chun-Ping Wang, Liang-Chun Chien, Lin-Fen Hsieh

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

The anatomical structure of the neck area is exceedingly complex; thus, cervical nerve damage during surgical procedures is not uncommon. A 25-year-old woman underwent excisional biopsy for neck lymphadenopathy. The patient reported left upper back pain and left shoulder weakness 1 day after the surgery. Physical examination revealed weakness of the left upper trapezius muscle and winging of the left scapula. A nerve conduction study indicated decreased compound muscle action potential amplitude on stimulation of the left spinal accessory nerve (SAN); electromyography also revealed denervation changes with the presence of voluntary motor unit action potentials in the left upper trapezius …


Ganglion Cyst Of Lumbrical Muscles: A Casereport, Pao-Sheng Wu, Chun-Te Lu, Valeria Chiu Dec 2022

Ganglion Cyst Of Lumbrical Muscles: A Casereport, Pao-Sheng Wu, Chun-Te Lu, Valeria Chiu

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Ganglion cysts arising from joints or tendons are commonly seen in our daily work as physiatrists, but those originating from muscles have been infrequently reported. In this casereport, we present a patient with a ganglion cyst arising from the fascia of the fourth lumbrical muscle in an occupational therapist, which has never been reported before. The lumbrical muscles of the hand vary greatly from other intrinsic muscles, because of their distinctive structure and function. A ganglion cyst that arises from the lumbrical muscle is supposed to affect the precise movement of the occupational therapist's hand. As a result, the early …


Herpes Zoster And Resultant Segmental Zoster Paresis: A Casereport And Literature Reviewarticle, Yen-Jou Ho, Hong-Yi Lin, Yao-Jen Chen Dec 2022

Herpes Zoster And Resultant Segmental Zoster Paresis: A Casereport And Literature Reviewarticle, Yen-Jou Ho, Hong-Yi Lin, Yao-Jen Chen

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Herpes zoster (HZV) is ascribed to the reactivation of the dormant varicella-zoster virus (VZV) in the dorsal root ganglia. The most commonly seen manifestation is a painful skin rash. However, several additional complications have been documented in the literature. A less-mentioned yet severe complication is segmental zoster paresis (SZP), which can cause limb paralysis. SZP's mechanism is still under debate, and a direct invasion of motor fibers due to anatomical adjacency has been proposed. Here we report a patient who had sudden onset of left upper limb paresis and gradually developed a skin rash afterward, which a dermatologist confirmed as …

Detection Of Human, Porcine And Canine Picornaviruses In Municipal Sewage Sludge Using Pan-Enterovirus Amplicon-Based Long-Read Illumina Sequencing., Temitope O. C. Faleye, Erin M. Driver, Devin A. Bowes, Rochelle H. Holm, Daymond Talley, Ray Yeager, Aruni Bhatnagar, Ted Smith, Arvind Varsani, Rolf U. Halden, Matthew Scotch

Faculty and Staff Scholarship

We describe the successful detection of human, porcine and canine picornaviruses (CanPV) in sewage sludge (at each stage of treatment) from Louisville, Kentucky, USA, using Pan-enterovirus amplicon-based long-read Illumina sequencing. Based on publicly available sequence data in GenBank, this is the first detection of CanPV in the USA and the first detection globally using wastewater-based epidemiology. Our findings also suggest there might be clusters of endemic porcine enterovirus (which have been shown capable of causing systemic infection in porcine) circulation in the USA that have not been sampled for around two decades. Our findings highlight the value of WBE coupled …


Student Perception On Acceptability And Usefulness Of Sit-Stand Desks In College Classrooms, Abiola Kuilan Dec 2022

Student Perception On Acceptability And Usefulness Of Sit-Stand Desks In College Classrooms, Abiola Kuilan

Theses

Sedentariness has been proved to be a major cause of various health concerns. Given that a full-time college student in the US spends more than 15 hours per week sitting in a college classroom, it may be an ideal setting for implementation of Sit-Stand Desk (SSD) to reduce college students’ sedentary time. Graduate and undergraduate students (N = 178) of NJIT were randomly recruited to complete a need based online assessment survey. Participants' mean (SD) age was 22.4(4.7) years old, 63% identified as male, 33% identified as female while 4% were of the other gender class. Among the participants, 44.3% …


Modeling Of Quad-Station Module Cluster Tools Using Petri Nets, Aung Nay Dec 2022

Modeling Of Quad-Station Module Cluster Tools Using Petri Nets, Aung Nay

Theses

The semiconductor industry is highly competitive, and with the recent chip shortage, the throughput of wafers has become more important than ever. One of the tools that the industry has deployed is to use of quad-station modules instead of the traditional single-station modules that allow for higher throughput and better wafer consistency by processing multiple wafers at the same time and distributing work. The industry trend is to use multiple transfer chamber robots to stack the quad-station modules in a series, particularly for etch products. In this work, the quad-station cluster tool wafer movement is modeled by using Petri net …
