Download or read book A Building Information Modelling Maturity Model for Developing Countries written by Samuel Adekunle and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-07 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a reference point for the development of Building Information Modelling (BIM) maturity in the developing country context. Developing countries have been observed to have low BIM maturity and are struggling to adopt the technology amidst no clearly defined pathways for achieving BIM capability maturity. The research presented in this book provides construction industry stakeholders in developing countries with a framework and nomological map to aid in the advancement of BIM implementation. This work provides a pathway for overcoming the challenges inhibiting BIM maturity in developing countries and ultimately its diffusion in order to harness the benefits. The authors provide critical theoretical insights on BIM maturity in the developing country context, a comparative analysis of BIM maturity in both developing and developed countries, and finally, a conceptualisation of BIM maturity for developing countries. The book is unique as its construct is rooted in the state-of-the-art information management standards in the digitalisation era in the construction industry (ISO 19650). The book delivers a theoretical reference point to the academic and research community and for the industry stakeholder, an essential guide to achieving BIM maturity at macro and micro levels.

Download or read book Sustainable Development Goals in Northeast India written by Subhash Anand and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-19 with total page 589 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers themes related to the geosphere, biosphere, sociosphere and ecosphere dealing with changing geographical, environmental and socio-economic realities to plan a sustainable future for the northeast region (NER) of India. The NER consists of eight states—Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Meghalaya and Sikkim—and they carry political, economic and social importance. The book integrates the past, present and future of geospheric attributes incorporating progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to meet the demands for improving human wellbeing under diverse and challenging socio-economic, political and environmental conditions. The key SDGs, as in food and agriculture, health, education, water, energy and other overarching goals of the region, have yet to incorporate providing sustainable jobs and promoting equality and inclusive development, although there have been a few studies in that regard. The challenges to achieve SDGs in the NER are formidable compared to the rest of India. The NER has put a great deal of effort into achieving the SDGs, mainly in poverty (SDG-1), good health (SDG-3), education (SDG-4), gender (SDG-5), decent work (SDG-8) and reduced inequalities (SDG-10), similar to the rest of the country. However, the standard development indicators such as road length, access to health care, power consumption and other measures are far below the national average. A multi-pronged strategy has played a pivotal role in the region, but development strategy to attain the SDGs 2030 must be more inclusive in empowering people with maximising self-governance, considering the resources, needs and aspirations of the people. This book evaluates the performance of the SDGs and fills in the gaps. It includes case studies focusing on different SDGs using advanced cartographic, statistical and GIS techniques and methods. It also provides unique findings that serve as valuable resources for planners and policy-makers so that a sustainable future in Northeast India can be achieved.

Download or read book Gasoline Compression Ignition Technology written by Gautam Kalghatgi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-17 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on gasoline compression ignition (GCI) which offers the prospect of engines with high efficiency and low exhaust emissions at a lower cost. A GCI engine is a compression ignition (CI) engine which is run on gasoline-like fuels (even on low-octane gasoline), making it significantly easier to control particulates and NOx but with high efficiency. The state of the art development to make GCI combustion feasible on practical vehicles is highlighted, e.g., on overcoming problems on cold start, high-pressure rise rates at high loads, transients, and HC and CO emissions. This book will be a useful guide to those in academia and industry.

The book discusses various non-Western case studies, which include the communal violence incited by anti-CAA protests in Delhi; the expulsion and displacement of Kashmiri Pandits; xenophobic attitudes against illegal immigrants in Assam; genocide in Sylhet during the Liberation War of Bangladesh; the 1994 genocide in Rwanda; and incidences of human rights violations across the world. A comprehensive and transdisciplinary text, the book will be useful for students and researchers of human geography, sociology, political science, social work, anthropology, colonialism and postcolonialism, nationalism, imperialism, human rights, and history.
Download or read book The influence of selected managerial quality and board composition variables on the performance of German cooperative banks an analysis of age gender education and experience as well as board size and composition written by Hermann Josef Högel and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2023-08-09 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research investigates the impact of age, education, experience, gender, board size, and composition on the sustainability of German cooperative banks. These banks are vital for the German financial system and have significant regional importance. The research reveals that the age of executive board members and board size correlate with the bank’s long-term performance. Banks with older executive board members tend to perform less effectively over time. Additionally, employing more than the legally required two executive board members negatively affects the bank’s medium- and long-term performance. The study’s results contribute to various management theories and can aid supervisory boards in selecting new executive board members based on performance criteria. Die Forschungsarbeit untersucht, wie Alter, Ausbildung, Erfahrung, Geschlecht, sowie Zusammensetzung und Größe des Vorstandsgremiums das langfristige Überleben deutscher Genossenschaftsbanken beeinflussen, welche aufgrund sinkender Gewinnmargen vom „Aussterben“ bedroht sind. Diese Banken spielen eine bedeutende Rolle im deutschen Wirtschafts- und Finanzsystem. Neben der Abwicklung wichtiger Zahlungstransaktionen sind sie bedeutende Arbeitgeber. Darüberhinaus spielten sie während der Finanzkrise 2007/2008 eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Unterstützung des europäischen Bankensystems. Die agierenden Vorstände dieser Genossenschaftsbanken haben einen erheblichen Einfluss auf den Geschäftserfolg. Es wurden empirische Daten zu den soziodemographischen Faktoren der Vorstandsmitglieder, der Vorstandszusammensetzung, -größe und der Bruttogewinnmarge über 5 und 10 Jahre gesammelt und statistisch analysiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen Zusammenhänge zwischen dem Alter der Vorstandsmitglieder, der Vorstandszusammensetzung und der Bruttogewinnmarge über die angegebenen Zeiträume. Diese Forschungsarbeit trägt zu verschiedenen Managementtheorien bei. Darüber hinaus bietet sie praktische Entscheidungskriterien für Aufsichtsräte bei der Auswahl neuer Vorstandsmitglieder.
