Abstract

The construction industry has been strongly embracing innovation and technology in the past few years. Along with emerging technologies, many entrepreneurs have started to play a vital role in this process by providing solutions for specific problems in the construction sector through startups. However, the development of a construction technology (Contech) startup and the factors affecting its success are still unclear. Therefore, this study aims to investigate critical success factors and risks of Contech startups by utilizing the systematic approach of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol. Forty-five (45) articles were included and analysed, and a total of 18 critical success factors were identified under (i) organizational capability, (ii) market strategy, and (iii) ecosystem engagement categories. Additionally, five (5) factors were presented under the risk factors category. The results showed that business model innovation, entrepreneurial support organization, founding team's prior professional experience, and collaboration and inter-organizational learning, while uncertainty and marketing are the most highlighted risk factors in the selected articles. The study's findings make a valuable addition to the existing body of knowledge, as they address the gap in understanding the factors and risks that contribute to the success of Contech startups.

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of X-rays in detecting osteoarthritis (OA) in comparison to MRI. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: The Fauji Foundation Hospital, Rawalpindi. Period: August, 2023 to March, 2024. Methods: Total 350 patients consented to clinical interviews, physical examinations, standing radiographs, and MRIs. Standing, semi-flexed posteroanterior radiographs of the knees were obtained with proper alignment to accurately detect joint space narrowing. Manual measurements of joint space width were conducted by a blinded orthopedic surgeon using the Kellgren-Lawrence grading system. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 23, with frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations calculated for relevant variables. Diagnostic accuracy was assessed using a 2x2 table. Results: Of the 350 patients, 61.1% were up to 60 years old, and 38.9% were over 60 years old. Among those with positive MRI results, 70.1% also had a positive X-ray, while 29.6% did not. Cohen's Kappa was 0.377, indicating fair to moderate agreement. Sensitivity was 54.3%, specificity 82.4%, positive predictive value 70.1%, and negative predictive value 70.4%, with an overall diagnostic accuracy of 70.3%. Conclusion: X-rays demonstrated high specificity and moderate predictive values, but low sensitivity, suggesting that some OA cases may be missed if relying solely on X-rays. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Mixed reality (MR) technology has the potential to enhance building construction inspection and monitoring processes, improving efficiency, accuracy, and safety. This systematic review intends to investigate the present research status on MR in building construction inspection and monitoring. The review covers existing literature and practical case studies that scrutinize current technologies, their applications, challenges, and future trends in this rapidly evolving field. This article follows a methodology known as Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) to enhance the credibility and reliability of research. The study includes articles published between 2018 and 2023, identified through a comprehensive search of Scopus and Google Scholar databases. Findings indicate that MR technology has the potential to enhance visualization, communication, and collaboration between stakeholders, as well as increase efficiency and accuracy in inspection and monitoring tasks by providing real-time interactable data and quick decision-making among the project team members. The adoption of MR technology in the construction industry will not only boost its effectiveness but also improve its productivity. However, limitations such as high costs, technical issues, and user acceptance pose challenges to the widespread adoption of MR in building construction. Future research should address these limitations and investigate MR's long-term impact on building construction inspection and monitoring. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Wheat, a primary staple food in numerous countries, is extensively cultivated worldwide due to its adaptability. It constitutes a significant portion of the global calorie intake, accounting for approximately 20% of the total. Wheat cultivation spans a vast area of 215 million hectares, resulting in a worldwide production of 772 million metric tons. One of the major challenges in wheat breeding is the lengthy process of selecting homozygous genotypes. However, a valuable technique called speed breeding has been developed to address this bottleneck. Speed breeding significantly reduces the time required for variety development and selection, allowing the production of 5 to 6 wheat generations per year. Despite the accelerated growth achieved through speed breeding, the size of wheat plants remains shorter compared to traditional methods, although biomass has a positive correlation with plant yield. Biomass accumulation is influenced by the activity of the vital enzyme RuBisCO. An experiment was conducted on five wheat genotypes under normal sunlight and controlled conditions using light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to evaluate RuBisCO activity. The experiment followed a factorial, completely randomized design with three replications. Various traits, including plant height, flag leaf area, spike length, stomata size, chlorophyll content, biomass, and 1000-grain weight, were measured and showed significant differences among the genotypes and treatments. Proteomics analysis using SDS-PAGE revealed variability in RuBisCO protein expression between normal and controlled plants. Light intensity was also measured for sunlight and the speed of breeding chamber lights. The findings highlight the critical role of light intensity, which remains an indispensable factor in studies about biomass-related research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Conducting construction activities in occupied environments presents a great challenge due to the additional logistical requirements and the presence of the building occupants. The aim of this research is to gather and evaluate the means and methods to successfully plan, manage, and execute construction activities in occupied spaces in an effort to provide consolidated industry tools and strategies for maintaining a schedule and minimizing the impact on the occupants. The methodology of the research utilizes an exploratory approach to gather qualitative data. The data was collected through interviews with industry professionals to identify industry best practices. The semi-structured interviews provided a platform for the documents, lessons learned, and the techniques and strategies used for occupied construction by the construction industry. The information obtained in the interview process identified six themes that are critical to achieving and maintaining quality in occupied construction. These themes of the schedule, cost, customer satisfaction, planning, fire/life safety and utilities, and contractor management are reviewed in detail, and the paper discusses how to manage each element. The analysis and extracted management techniques, procedures and strategies can be used by the construction industry for future projects by focusing on the critical aspects of occupied construction and the manner in which to succeed with it.
