Schedule Execution

Construction schedule becomes part of positive practice of our construction. The construction of Building and Residential Complex Stepa Stepanovic has been used for conducting research among responsible contractors on certain aspects of schedule execution, problems during its executions and use in construction process. The results of the research show that there is lack of time and professional teams to produce detail construction schedule. Possiblities provided by the project management softwares are hugh and should be used in order to better assses the current state of construction and risks that accompany it.

Human factors engineering (HFE), such as other engineering disciplines involved in plant design, cannot be considered retroactively. The engineering principles and methods derived from deep knowledge of the cognitive and perceptual capabilities and limitations of the plant’s “human element” are applied instead throughout the plant design. Focusing HFE efforts, the plant’s HMI is designed to ensure effective and error-free performance of the monitoring, control, and administrative tasks allocated to the control-room crew. A project’s HFE program prescribes three main steps (1) The task analysis and the analyses of plant monitoring and control functions to identify those to be performed manually (all others are performed automatically, or in a combination of manual and automatic, while still manually monitored) and determine in turn the HMI inventory of information displays, controls, alarms, and operating procedures required to support their performance. (2) The guided design of the plant’s HMI, ensuring its compliance with HFE principles and the completeness and correctness of the task support it provides. (3) The subsequent evaluation of operator performance, trained to follow the operating procedures and use of the HMI. Authors’ experience shows that the three following required steps pose challenges to project execution: (1) the acquisition and analysis of the multidisciplinary functional requirements (related to plant monitoring and control); (2) the likely interdisciplinary analysis and how fulfillment of these requirements shall be allocated to I&C automation systems or operators (or both); and (3) the HFE-guided HMI design and validation. An additional fourth challenge poses a timely and cost-effective application of HFE to I&C engineering, which can be achieved by adequate planning and project management procedures. This paper aims to summarize some of our industrial experiences gained in new builds and modernization projects of nuclear power plants around the world.

Introduction: Having mental health is necessary for the growth and prosperity of humans and as a result of the growth of societies.Objectives: The purpose of this study was to design a mental health management model in Iran.Methods: In this exploratory study, a review study was first performed to analyze the current state of mental health services in Iran and the world. Countries were selected to compare mental health management with Iran in 6 domains. 311 faculty members with mental health were completed by completing a questionnaire with 50 items in the study. Using the factor analysis, the final model was explained. Results: The effective domains in Iranian mental health services management were named in 8 areas: Mental Health in Particular, Key Centers and Task-Shifting, Human Resources and Specialists Training, Psychological Services for Children and Adolescents, Financial Resources and Hospital Services, Mental Health in PHC and Primary medical services, Policy-Making and Human Rights, Monitoring and Control, Community-Based Services. Conclusions: The proposed model of mental health services management in Iran consists of 8 domains, which is a comprehensive and multidimensional concept. Paying attention to its factors can lead to the successful management of mental health services in Iran.

The qualitative research presented in this article attempts to show the impact of teacher-initiated activities on six-year-old children’s metacognitive monitoring and control abilities. The metacognitive model is discussed, research findings that substantiate the development of separate components of metacognitive regulation are analyzed, and the educational ways that promote metacognitive development in children are systematized. The outcomes of the research show that teacher-initiated activities stimulate and encourage children to find and apply more diverse ways of metacognitive monitoring and control. After teacher-initiated activities, the target group children demonstrated, identified, and verbalized the following ways of acting and learning that had not been noticed in their self-initiated activities in the area of metacognitive monitoring, namely, thinking while doing, modelling, acting by scheme/without a scheme, and activity by self-created strategies. In the area of metacognitive control, the children showed the ability to challenge themselves to do better than before, think and do as a continuous, unbroken control and implementation process, and control performance consistency.

Project management is a sub-discipline of management. Using specialized knowledge, skills, tools, and methods in project activities enables the project to meet or exceed set requirements and desired processes under limited resource constraints. Project management is the overall monitoring and control of activities that are successful in achieving a range of goals. This includes planning, scheduling, and maintaining the progress of the activities that make up the project. A project is a one-time task that needs to be completed within a defined resource and within a limited time. Specifically, it can be a project, a service, a research topic, and an activity. Project management education reflects the characteristics of education and can better solve the problem of the quality of education personnel training and the needs of social talents. Project management education is an inevitable choice for reform.

During his presentation Air Cdre. Tyndall told you that the foundations of the procedures recommended by the Downey Committee were laid down in the late 1950's and early 1960's. May I remind you of the Internal Directive of March 1960 he mentioned which stated that cost control must be accorded equal importance with technical control. All of us have been developing our techniques of programming and monitoring technical achievements over the years, but at the time the investigations of current practice were being made for the Downey Committee in 1964-65 it was found that in twelve projects investigated only one contractor had procedures for monitoring and controlling cost progress adequately integrated with those for monitoring and control of technical achievement.
