The selection of suitable methodology for conducting pertinent and meticulous research work is of paramount importance, in which the research logics should be given a great amount of consideration. In this context, it is imperative to have a consolidated study that discusses the pros and cons of various research logics and the purposes they carry. Through a structured literature review approach, the authors have filled this gap by discussing the importance of various research approaches, research logics and have drawn conclusion from the relevant literature that each approach and logic is suited to a specific scenario. It can be said that the mixed mode research method is the most suitable research method when it comes to conduction of organizational level research works where the focus is the improve the performance as well as gauge the narrative established among the members/employees of the organization. In manufacturing or supply chain excellent, mixed mode methods can yield excellent results based on their holistic nature. However, the complexity of this research methodology can be catered with modern research management tools, such as K-Chart. The research work will provide clarity to academicians regarding the selection of most suitable approach for designing a methodology.

The urbanization of territories and the increase in density of urban development cause the necessity of introduction of improved structural solutions into the construction practice. This is also connected with both the erection of higher buildings with longer span structures and the use of non-standard methods for the analysis of structures. The introduction of modern structural patterns lessens considerably the weight of structures, reduces the consumption of materials and cuts the construction production costs. At the same time, the responsibility for the construction projects enhances. A systematic control over the state of structures including a quasi-continuous one, allows us to reveal the very beginning of destructive processes and to take measures for their liquidation. One of monitoring methods is the tachymetry survey of positions of a number of adjusting marks fixed at the structural elements. The non-reflection mode of operation of tachymetry survey allows lifting the restrictions for the number of points under observations. The combination of the afore-said factors determines the urgency of the use of the tachymetry as a tool for monitoring the state of the construction project. The subject of the study: the subject of the present research work is the methodology of selection of tachymetry spacing during the deformation monitoring of a construction project. The tachymetry can be carried out both in the mode of focusing on pre-established marks, and in the non-reflection mode through the points on the structure. The disadvantage of the first method is the need of installation of light-reflecting marks, which is not always possible due to some technical and/or aesthetic reasons and may lead to a significant increase in the cost of monitoring. The disadvantage of the second method is a reduced accuracy of the measurements. A wide incremental step may lead to the failure of detection of deformation processes, a narrow step means a considerable increase in the monitoring time and an unjustified rise in the cost of monitoring. Objectives: the purpose of this research work is the optimization of tachymetry spacing, which will reveal all deviations of structural elements from their permanent positions by a value exceeding the accuracy of measurements. Materials and methods: the initial material for the study included the results of geodetic observations carried out at various construction projects, in particular, the tachymetry results. The method of study includes the comparing of the limiting admissible curvature value to the minimum deformation value measured with the tachymeter accuracy. Results: a methodology is suggested for the selection of the tachymetry survey step. On its basis, a formula for the determination of a step value is offered that takes into account the geometry of the structure, the strain capacity of the material and the accuracy of the survey. Conclusions: the obtained results allow us to optimize the number of the observation points during the tachymetry survey and to ensure the detection of all destructive effects associated with structural geometry changes at the construction project. The descriptions of the methodology are recommended for their application in the development of geodetic monitoring programmes.

Preliminary Selection

Forest-based exports, particular~y the non-coniferous primary and semi-manufactured products from the tropical countries, have grown rapidly during the past two decades or so. Exports from India have not, however, kept pace. Among other causes, this has also been due to a lack of proper market and product identification. Detailed market studies being an expensive proposition, there is merit in a preliminary selection of countries and commodities on some broad-based and analtytically inexpensive criteria, to be followed by further research work. Since price and income eiasticities are good indicators of import market demand, these are determined here for several advanced countries and various forest-based products. A hypothesised behavioural relationship is first developed and the results are discussed. The potential of Japan as a possible market for forest-based exports from India is confirmed, and France and Italy also emerge as possessing much promise. Despite past ties, neither UK nor USA appears to be the ideal choice for the purpose.

The search for sustainable renewable source of fibre is the need of the hour for the textile industry. In this aspect, milkweed fibres are considered to be one of the potential fibre crops. Plated knit fabrics are designed and engineered with correct selection of fibre and yarn constituents in the distinct bottom and top layer (next to sin) can serve well for next-to-skin applications. In this research work, the potential application of milkweed/polyester plated knitted fabrics for next-to-skin end uses were analysed by changing the inner and outer layers of plated fabrics and with different polyester/milkweed blend proportion. From the results of various moisture management indices of plated knitted fabrics, it is observed that except polyester/polyester and polyester/60% milkweed samples, which are exhibited as water penetration fabric, all other samples are showed as moisture management fabric. The hydrophobic fibre (polyester) in the top layer and hydrophilic fibres (milkweed) in the bottom layer exhibits higher bottom absorption rate, bottom spreading speed and one-way liquid transport leading to higher overall moisture management index. By considering the moisture management indices and grades of various samples, it could be observed that the plated fabric made from 40% milkweed/polyester could be an efficient moisture management fabric when used in either-way compared with other fabrics. One-way analysis of variance carried out at 95% confidence level showed that the results are statistically significant. The pair wise strength and association between various moisture management indices was analysed using Pearson correlation coefficient and observed that one-way transport capacity and overall moisture management capacity was found to be positively and linearly related to each other.

The high detection quantum efficiency (DQE) is the main requirement for an imagerecording system used in electron microscopy of radiation-sensitive specimens. An electronic TV system of the type shown in Fig. 1 fulfills these conditions and can be used for either analog or digital image storage and processing [1], Several sources of noise may reduce the DQE, and therefore a careful selection of various elements is imperative.The noise of target and of video amplifier can be neglected when the converter stages produce sufficient target electrons per incident primary electron. The required gain depends on the type of the tube and also on the type of the signal processing chosen. For EBS tubes, for example, it exceeds 10. The ideal case, in which all impinging electrons create uniform charge peaks at the target, is not obtainable for several reasons, and these will be discussed as they relate to a system with a scintillator, fiber-optic and photo-cathode combination as the first stage.

In the past few decades, there has been lot of focus on the issue of sustainability. This has occurred due to the growing concerns related to climate change and the growing awareness about environmental concerns. Also, the competition at global level has led to the search for the most sustainable route in the industries. The current research work deals with the selection of green supplier in a Nickle coating industry based on certain weighted green attributes. For this purpose, a hybrid tool comprising of Fuzzy AHP (Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy) and VIKOR (VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje) is used. The Fuzzy AHP is used for assigning proper weights to the selected criteria for supplier evaluation, while VIKOR is used for final supplier selection based on the weighted criteria. The three criterions for green supplier selection are, Ecological packaging, Corporate socio-environmental responsibility and Staff Training. The outcome of the integrated model may serve as a steppingstone to other SMEs in different sectors for selecting the most suitable supplier for addressing the sustainability issue.

Debates in Singapore about immigration and naturalisation policy have escalated substantially since 2008 when the government allowed an unprecedentedly large number of immigrants into the country. This essay will discuss immigration and naturalisation policy in Singapore and the tensions that have been evoked, and how these policies are a key tool in regulating the optimal composition and size of the population for the state’s imperatives. It will demonstrate that although the state has, as part of its broader economic and manpower planning policy to import labour for economic objectives, it seeks to retain only skilled labour with an exclusive form of citizenship.  Even as the Singapore state has made its form of citizenship even more exclusive by reducing the benefits that non-citizens receive, its programmes for naturalising those who make the cut to become citizens which include the recently created Singapore Citizenship Journey (SCJ) is by no means burdensome from a comparative perspective. This paper examines policy discourse and the key symbols and narratives provided at naturalisation events and demonstrates how these are used to evoke the sense of the ideal citizen among new Singaporeans.

How should a liberal democracy respond to hate groups and others that oppose the ideal of free and equal citizenship? The democratic state faces the hard choice of either protecting the rights of hate groups and allowing their views to spread, or banning their views and violating citizens' rights to freedoms of expression, association, and religion. Avoiding the familiar yet problematic responses to these issues, this book proposes a new approach called value democracy. The theory of value democracy argues that the state should protect the right to express illiberal beliefs, but the state should also engage in democratic persuasion when it speaks through its various expressive capacities: publicly criticizing, and giving reasons to reject, hate-based or other discriminatory viewpoints. Distinguishing between two kinds of state action—expressive and coercive—the book contends that public criticism of viewpoints advocating discrimination based on race, gender, or sexual orientation should be pursued through the state's expressive capacities as speaker, educator, and spender. When the state uses its expressive capacities to promote the values of free and equal citizenship, it engages in democratic persuasion. By using democratic persuasion, the state can both respect rights and counter hateful or discriminatory viewpoints. The book extends this analysis from freedom of expression to the freedoms of religion and association, and shows that value democracy can uphold the protection of these freedoms while promoting equality for all citizens.

The Ideal

In the Arabian Gulf two identities can be really considered almost as important as the national one: the tribal and the sectarian ones. Someone should expect that the reinforcement of these identities is a direct response to inequality and processes of exclusion. Furthermore, parochial tribalism is expected to arise as the protector of cultural heritage, especially in a region where the ex-pats vastly outnumber the locals. Nonetheless, both statements are far from truth. In this paper we will analyze how in the Gulf, sectarian identity came to play a significant role only after the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran and it keeps on surviving through mainly instigations and Iranian propaganda, provocations and support. It should be noted that Sunni identity has been allegedly subjugated in other Middle East States (mainly in Syria and Iraq) but in the Gulf the sectarian challenge stems from the Shia communities, openly supported by Tehran. Strangely enough, the tribal identity does not pose that much of a challenge, since tribes are more the friend than the enemy of all Gulf States. Actually, these countries could not have survived without the loyalty and commitment of the tribes not only to the Royal families but also to the idea of the State and the ideal of the Nation – and Gulf Nations do protect their cultural heritage.
