Man or machine hours needed by various resources to complete construction works are the basis for work estimation and scheduling. In particular, they enable the planner to estimate labor costs or time needed to complete the task, review the resource of workload and availability of resources assigned to particular task, check the possibility of sharing resources across various tasks and determine other rates and factors useful in works scheduling. The project schedule can be analyzed both without or with and in consideration of risk of the end date of the project being pushed out or going over budget on the project. Issues presented above are the subject of this paper. The methods of solving described problems consider the optimization of a loss that derives from partial utilization of assigned the resources.

The labor market is not like any other market. It has been the subject of a sufficiently developed theoretical analysis such as the neoclassical model and other complementary or opposed alternative theories. The rigidity of the labor market and the gap between labor supply and labor demand, is due to multiple factors. Companies’ limitations are mostly due to their structure, their economic activity, the labor costs, and the absence of structural macroeconomic policies. Moreover, restrictive monetary policy creates pressure on the labor market and increases unemployment. The objective of this research is to prepare, a structural study on labor market and emigration in Lebanon in order to highlight the problems of youth professional integration, the factors of recruitment, the conditions of work, the nature of the activity, and the factors and reasons of emigration. It also aims to propose policies and guidance to overcome the above mentioned difficulties so as to ensure good jobs for young people and prevent emigration.

Prospective Risk

AbstractRisk management facilitates risk identification, evaluation, control, and by means of appropriate set of measures, risk reduction or complete elimination. Therefore, the risk management becomes a strategic factor for a company’s success. Properly implemented risk management system does not represent a tool to avoid the risk; it is used to understand the risk and provide the bases for strategic decision-making.Risk management represents a key factor for the supply chain operations. Managing the risks is crucial for achieving the customer satisfaction and thus also a company’s success. The subject-matter of the article is the assessment of the supply chain in the automobile industry, in terms of risks. The topicality of this problem is even higher, as after the economic crisis it is necessary to revaluate the readiness of the supply chain for prospective risk conditions. One advantage of this article is the use of the Saaty method as a tool for the risk management within the supply chain.

The Subject

At a time when the Republican party in America seems to have abandoned its brief hopes of proclaiming a new paradigm, it may seem apropos to observe that old ones die hard—and not only in public life. A case in point from the scholarly world is the subject of this essay: the persistent historiographical notion of industrial factionalism. Throughout this century, students of German political economy have tended to see the country's business world as divided between two groupings. One comprises the classic heavy industries of the first Industrial Revolution and the Ruhr: coal, iron, and steel. Supposedly oriented toward domestic markets, burdened with high labor costs, doomed to flattening gains in productivity and profits, and habituated to hierarchy within their plants and the nation, executives in this grouping have figured in the historical literature as consistently and intransigently united against free trade, labor unions, and parliamentary government—indeed, against modernization itself.

A new type of case study, called the real-time case (RTC), was produced in the fall of 2001 and distributed via the Internet to business classes at four universities in the US and Canada. The real-time case presented the story of one company's growth and development throughout a 14-week semester. A case writer stationed full-time at the subject company published case installments weekly on the Web, allowing students to view the company-building process as it happened. The 14-week coverage of RTC enabled students to study the subject company in unprecedented depth and detail. RTC's real-time interactivity allowed students to share their analyses and best thinking with the company leadership during the company’s decision-making process.A major objective in producing the case was to heighten student engagement with the case material. To evaluate whether this objective was achieved, a survey and a focus group discussion were conducted with one of the participating MBA classes. Results from the survey and the focus group showed a high degree of engagement, plus many other benefits from the new type of case study.

The techniques for preventing risk have traditionally been analyzed on an individual basis, it being highly complex to apply preventive procedures across the board in construction works. This implies the necessary risk assessment based on the common factors of Safety at Work, Industrial Hygiene, Ergonomics and Psychosociology. This work analyzes and classifies the environments which characterize the building process: absolute (initial), documentary, construction, social and life cycle, and identifies the technical-documentary processes associated with each one. Finally, a new risk assessment method adapted to building works is proposed, called “Level of Preventive Action”, by means of a new mathematical formula which encompasses Safety at Work, Industrial Hygiene, Ergonomic and Psychosociological factors. It is based upon the development of the William T. Fine method, adapting it to construction works, with the incorporation of six parameters to explain the degree of correction. It consolidates and connects environment parameters to determine the preventive action level of the construction work, with the objective of establishing the levels of preventive control required to achieve an optimum prevention situation. The results of comparison between the environments in the implementation of the new risk assessment methodology during the construction process in a real building work are shown.

В представленной статье кратко раскрывается смысл понятия такого явления, как принцип гражданского процессуального права, а также дана классификация принципов, уже существующих и утвердившихся в теории гражданского процесса. Авторы работы предприняли попытку разработать новую классификацию принципов гражданского судопроизводства, отличную от общепринятой, в которой ключевым фактором выступает субъект, которому эти принципы адресованы по своему содержанию. По результатам проведенного исследования выделены субъекты, которым адресованы действия этих принципов: адресованные только суду; адресованные только лицам, участвующим в деле; - адресованные всем субъектам гражданского судопроизводства в целом (общие). Можно вполне обосновано сказать, что новая классификация принципов гражданского процесса, в зависимости от субъекта имеет право на существование. The presented article briefly reveals the meaning of the concept of such a phenomenon as the principle of civil procedural law, and also gives a classification of the principles that already exist and are established in the theory of civil procedure. The authors of the work attempted to develop a new classification of the principles of civil proceedings, different from the generally accepted one, in which the key factor is the subject to whom these principles are addressed in their content. According to the results of the study, the subjects to whom the actions of these principles are addressed: addressed only to the court; addressed only to persons participating in the case; - addressed to all subjects of civil proceedings in general (general). It can be reasonably said that the new classification of the principles of civil procedure, depending on the subject, has the right to exist.

Over the years researchers have paid little attention to the performance of the clients in the building industry. Much of the research on improvement of performance of the construction industry has mainly focused on contractors and the supply chain. The performance of a client is important because any decision made will affect project success. Failure on the part of the client might lead to stress factors causing significant problems in successive stages of the project. This research is an investigation into the roles of the client to find out whether clients in the building industry in Uganda are playing their part. Due to the non‐specific nature of clients, a guided questionnaire survey was carried out among architects who normally work with different types of clients. The majority of the building clients in Uganda are individuals followed by limited liability companies. It was found out that delay by clients in paying the contractors is a major factor affecting the performance of contractors. Almost all clients do not support training of the workers in its different forms. Construction works start before the designs are completed and the majority of the variations is due to incomplete briefs and designs. Many clients or their representatives do not attend meetings as regularly as would have been necessary. This study reveals information that will help clients in their future projects for ensuring successful building project implementation. Santrauka Daug metų mokslininkai mažai kreipė dėmesio į užsakovų dalyvavimą statybos pramonėje. Dauguma atliktų mokslinių tyrimų, susijusių su statybos pramonės darbų kokybės gerinimu, yra orientuoti į rangovus ir tiekimo grandinę. Užsakovo dalyvavimas yra svarbus todėl, kad kiekvienas priimtas sprendimas gali daryti įtaką projekto sėkmei. Užsakovų žlugimas gali sudaryti įtampą, kuri gali kliudyti sėkmingai vykdyti projekto stadijas. Straipsnyje buvo nagrinėjamas užsakovų vaidmuo, norint nustatyti, ar užsakovai Ugandoje aktyviai dalyvauja statybos pramonėje. Buvo atlikta apklausa architektų, kurie dirba su įvairiais užsakovais. Dauguma statybos užsakovų Ugandoje yra ribotos atsakomybės įmonės. Taip pat buvo pastebėta, kad užsakovo delsimas sumokėti rangovams yra vienas iš svarbiausių veiksnių, darančių įtaką rangovų darbui. Beveik visi užsakovai nepritaria darbuotojų kvalifikacijos tobulinimui įvairiais būdais. Dažniausiai statybos darbai yra pradedami dar nebaigus projektavimo darbų ir dauguma nukrypimų yra dėl neparengtos techninės dokumentacijos. Dauguma užsakovų ar jų atstovų nereguliariai dalyvauja svarbiuose susitikimuose. Šis tyrimas pateikia informaciją, kuri padės užsakovams ateities projektuose ir užtikrins sėkmingą statybos projektų vykdymą.
