Modern innovations in public administration of construction provide significant modernization of the industry on the basis of engineering and project management - the introduction of the role of consulting engineer. This role involves a wide range of communications between all stakeholders in the investment and construction process. It may be relevant to use an information tool for modeling the product and construction processes - design and technological templates - to measure the effectiveness of these communications and, accordingly, to measure the effectiveness of the consulting engineer. The article contains the analysis of reserves of optimization of investment and construction process and the description of possibilities of these reserves realization by means of constructive-technological templates. The main provisions of the concept of " constructive technological template in construction" were described and presented as information tool for construction management. The scheme of software interaction within the concept of "constructive-technological template in construction" and the scheme of knowledge management by the consulting engineer were developed. Indicators and ways to increase the efficiency of interaction between the consulting engineer and stakeholders were shown. The indicators of efficiency of the consulting engineer under the condition of using constructive-technological templates were substantiated. The developed concept and schemes allowed to investigate the interactions of stakeholders in construction production. It is shown that when using the concept of "constructive-technological template in construction" the consulting engineer can perform a triple managerial role at a qualitatively new level. As a BIM manager, he must manage the knowledge of investment and construction activities. As a commercial specialist - must meet the requirements of participants during construction. As a construction project manager, he carries out strategic leadership and operational organization and control of construction production. On this basis, the indicators of economic and technical effect of the consulting engineer as a manager of the investment and construction process were substantiated.

Building a knowledge-based society is widely recognized as leading to human, social and economic benefits. This paper explores the issue of using knowledge management as an instrument for the development and sustainability of this knowledge society. The paper attempts to achieve its purpose through four main integrated steps: providing a brief review of knowledge management and the knowledge society; viewing knowledge management according to the STOPE “strategy, technology, organization, people and the environment” scope; incorporating knowledge management into the six-sigma DMAIC “define, measure, analyze, improve, and control” process; and deriving observations on the outcome, and producing guidelines for future work. The paper emphasizes the claim that developing and continuously sustaining the knowledge society can be achieved by applying knowledge management through building it into the STOPE scope and the six-sigma process, and by considering the multi-level nature of the society. The paper enjoys a high potential as a guide to knowledge management driven development and sustainability of the knowledge society at all levels. This would be beneficial to all those interested and concerned with supporting the role of knowledge in their own societies.

Abstract Background: Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a cytotoxic compound found in various food and feed products. N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) is a highly abundant epitranscriptomic marker that modifies a wide range of mRNA molecules in mammalian cells. However, the role of the m6A methylome in DON-induced damage remains poorly understood.Results: In this study, we assessed the transcriptome-wide m6A profile of intestinal porcine epithelial cells (IPEC-J2) treated with 1000 ng/mL DON by m6A sequencing and RNA sequencing. Overall, 5406 new m6A peaks appeared with the disappearance of 2615 peaks in DON-treated IPEC-J2 cells. Genes that were uniquely m6A-modified following DON treatment were found to be associated with the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling pathway. On comparing DON-treated and control cells, we identified 733 differentially expressed mRNAs bearing hyper- or hypomethylated m6A peaks. Further experimental data suggested that METTL3-dependent m6A methylation might also play a role in DON-induced inflammatory response, and CSF2 marker is key functional relevance in the context of DON-induced toxicity. Conclusions: This is the first study to perform a transcriptome-wide assessment of the m6A methylome of IPEC-J2 cells treated with DON. We believe that our findings should be useful for identifying mechanisms whereby m6A modifications influence the outcomes of DON exposure.

The spirit of reform encourages the State Civil Apparatus to carry out renewal and improvement of the system in the development, improvement and service of the community in order to encourage the community and support the implementation of good governance in public administration. Supervision carried out by. The Government, has determined the Functional Position of Auditors who have the scope, duties, responsibilities, and authority to carry out internal supervision on government agencies, institutions or other parties in it. For this reason, this research has two problems. First, how is the role of JFA in improving the performance of bureaucrats in the Central Java Province Inspectorate. Second. What obstacles were encountered by JFA in the supervision process of the performance of Bureaucrats in the Central Java Province Inspectorate. This problem was examined using a sociological juridical approach. In the sociological juridical approach, law as law in action is described as an empirical social phenomenon. The results of this study confirm that: First, there are 2 (two) roles of JFA in improving the performance of bureaucrats in the Central Java Province Inspectorate, namely: Improving the system of internal supervision and control, and improving the quality and professionalism of resources. Secondly, there were several factors encountered by JFA in the supervision process of the performance of bureaucrats in the Central Java Province Inspectorate that had to be immediately corrected to support good governance in public administration.

Agile Teams

In a fast-paced and changing world demanded by Industry 4.0, the continuous delivery of products and level of integration of technologies are required. This is achieved through the introduction of agile but agile itself demands changes in the way projects are managed. The role of the project manager itself is changing from a command and control to a collaborative and coaching style of leadership. Project teams on the other hand should be self-organizing and self-directed to be agile. Managing agile teams requires a different approach as the idea is to deliver workable solutions and products at a faster space. New project manager skills and competencies are required as well as ways to manage agile teams. A conceptual model is introduced, highlighting the required enablers for an agile environment. The enablers have an impact on how the agile project manager interacts with the agile team. The end result is that products are faster deployed enabling organizations to react to the changes demanded by Industry 4.0.

BCLAF1 was originally identified as a protein that interacts with antiapoptotic members of the Bcl2 family. Initial studies indicated a role for this protein as an inducer of apoptosis and repressor of transcription. Subsequent studies have shown that BCLAF1 plays criticals roles in a wide range of processes that are not normally associated with actions of Bcl2 family members, including lung development, T-cell activation, and control of the lytic infection program of Kaposi's sarcoma–associated herpesvirus. Here, we provide an overview of findings from past studies that both support and challenge the role of BCLAF1 in cell death and transcriptional control. We also present recent findings from our laboratory and others indicating a role for BCLAF1 in post-transcriptional processes that impact mRNA metabolism, instead of a direct role for this protein in apoptosis or transcription.

This chapter examines the role of social media in processes of democratization. Facilitating rapid and decentralized communication among a wide range of actors, social media have played a particularly potent role in the past decade in facilitating the mobilization of protest against authoritarian regimes, the exposure of corruption and human rights abuses, and the monitoring of elections to expose electoral fraud. The chapter explores how social media have provided new tools for challenging dominant parties. It also looks at the ways in which authoritarian regimes censor and suppress access to these tools, while appropriating them for their own purposes of propaganda and control.

This book uses an international perspective and draws on a wide range of new conceptual and empirical material to examine the sources of conflict and cooperation within the different landscapes of knowledge that are driving contemporary urban change. Based on the premise that historically established systems of regulation and control are being subject to unprecedented pressures, the book critically reflects on the changing role of planning and governance in sustainable urban development, looking at how a shift in power relations between expert and local cultures in western planning processes has blurred the traditional boundaries between public, private, and voluntary sectors.

All construction professionals such as civil, mechanical, and electrical engineers, quantity surveyors, and architects have important roles in the construction process. Among these, architects are frequently appointed as a project manager (PM). The role of a PM will drive the success of the projects implementation. Therefore, the capability of an architect as a PM (ArPM) is critical in reducing challenges encountered. Accordingly, the identification of these challenges is an important task in selecting an appropriate ArPM. The aim of this study is to identify the most critical challenges faced by an ArPM for construction projects. The data were collected through questionnaires and interviews with architects and professionals in the Malaysian construction industry. Because of the fuzziness and uncertainty of subjective responses, Fuzzy Set Ttheory is applied to identify critical challenges. A total of 65 questionnaires were distributed and 36 questionnaires were returned. The results revealed that the critical challenges faced by an ArPM are “poor planning,” “unfamiliar technology,” “unfamiliarity with green buildings and materials,” “inappropriate scheduling,” and “poor workmanship.” All critical challenges were then categorized into six main groups including technical, managerial, personal skills, contractual, psychological, and financial.

We conducted a series of field experiments to determine the role of several factors that might contribute to the inconsistent control of common lambsquarters with glyphosate. Experiments in 2006 and 2007 determined common lambsquarters response to glyphosate under a wide range of measured environmental conditions. Glyphosate was applied at 0.84 kg ae ha−1plus 3.8 kg ha−1ammonium sulfate (AMS) to 10-cm-tall plants on 18 dates in each year and to 20-cm-tall plants on 18 dates in 2007. Control was less for six application dates relative to control for 48 other dates. Poor control was attributed to rainfall on one of these six dates, but for the other five dates, regression analysis did not identify any significant relationships between environmental conditions (relative humidity, temperature at time of treatment, or minimum and maximum temperature pre- and posttreatment) and control, even though a wide range of conditions occurred. To determine the effects of plant growth stage on control, glyphosate was applied at 0.1 to 3.2 kg ha−1plus 3.8 kg ha−1AMS to 10- and 20-cm-tall plants at four sites. The glyphosate ED50value (the effective dose that reduced shoot mass by 50% relative to nontreated plants) was 1.9 to 3.0 times greater for 20- than 10-cm-tall plants in three site-years, but was not affected by plant height in one site-year. We also conducted experiments to determine the effect of rainfall on glyphosate efficacy. Across years, common lambsquarters control increased from 44 to 75% as the interval between glyphosate application (0.84 kg ha−1+ 3.8 kg ha−1AMS) and simulated rainfall increased from 0.5 to 4.0 h, respectively. Our results did not identify environmental conditions that explained reduced glyphosate efficacy in all cases, but they suggest that rainfall after application and plant height can be important factors contributing to the inconsistent control of common lambsquarters.
