Despite occupational diseases in construction contributing to a significant proportion of fatalities, and permanent and temporary incapacities, they have not gained as much attention as occupational injuries from practitioners and researchers. The research in this book aims to discover occupational diseases that cause fatalities and permanent and temporary incapacities in the construction industry, along with their epidemiological causal mechanisms. Through chapters examining cancers, circulatory system diseases, respiratory system diseases, nervous system and sense organ diseases, and musculoskeletal diseases, the authors provide new knowledge and insights to help proactively prevent and co...
The application of mixed methods research design in the built environment discipline by students and academics has continued to grow exponentially. However, with no dedicated mixed methods research design textbook in this domain, students have struggled to conduct research projects involving a mixed methods research design. Mixed Methods Research Design for the Built Environment provides a useful research methodololgy resource for students, academics, and researchers across various disciplines in the built environment such as construction management and project management, property and real estate management, quantity surveying and commercial management, building surveying, building services...
With a focus on project managers (PMs) in the construction industry, this book addresses the impact of smart technology applications on project management and examines how technologically competent PMs can be developed for successfully managing and delivering projects with smart technologies. The book assesses the changes to the knowledge and skillsets required to manage projects with smart technologies; develops a Technological Competency Framework to improve PM competency when managing projects with smart technologies; and develops a Knowledge-Based Technological Competency Analytics and Innovations System to assess and improve the technological competency of PMs and provide recommendations to improve their competency. Managing Projects with Smart Technologies is ideal for PMs and academics in the areas of construction project management, engineering, architecture, and infrastructure and anyone involved in the technical training of professionals in these areas.
The world had evolved into a small studio apartment where the tenants were no longer capable of rational thought nor compassion for each other. Claustrophobia became the soup of the day--every day. It was just a matter of time before the disintegration was complete, when the ominous kismet would at last disconnect the dots. And those chosen few who had unlocked secrets that were never meant to be revealed, looked on in horror from a more spacious apartment...hopelessly rooting for the underdogs who seemed destined to lose.
Doc McCoys skicklighet som brottsling vet nästan inga gränser. Men inte ens för McCoy finns det något sådant som ett perfekt bankrån - inte utan en perfekt flykt. På grund av en förrädisk och klumpig partner får bankrånet i stället förödande konsekvenser. Ett enda litet misstag kastar Doc McCoy rakt in i ett helvete präglat av blod, svek och kaos - till brädden fyllt av våld och bristande lojaliteter - där ingen handling är utan baktanke. Getaway är boken som alla andra bankrånsskildringar måste mäta sig mot. Såväl Steve McQueen och Alec Baldwin har axlat rollen som Doc McCoy på vita duken. Men det är mest av allt Jim Thompsons mörka, skitiga prosa som gör Getaway till ett sådant mästerverk i sin genre. I översättning av Inge R. L. Larsson. JIM THOMPSON [1906-1977] föddes i Anadarko, Oklahoma. Han har skrivit ett trettiotal böcker och räknas, tillsammans med Raymond Chandler och James Ellroy, som en av de främsta - och mest hårdkokta - noirförfattarna genom tiderna. Modernista ger nu ut Jim Thompsons två största klassiker: Getaway från 1958 och Grifters från 1963.
This book lays out the evolution of the often contested construction management discipline. How is the field defined? What has been discovered to date? Who are the researchers involved? Where is the research being conducted? What national priorities exist among the many nations now grappling with how to absorb foreign construction expertise, or compete in the global commons? Despite the overwhelming economic and political importance of the global construction industry and its impact on the world, until now, there has been no book dedicated to describing the body of research in the field, or where the knowledge frontier lies. This book is the first of its kind, offering a comprehensive apprai...
