In Korea, the use of BIM in designing is consistently increasing, and in line with current situation, it is necessary to find a method that can interconnect the existing fire simulation and BIM. In this study, we suggested an interworking method of Add-on Program that is possible link with BIM, and conducted a case study with existing programs. Further, it was tested by comparing the temperature at any point. Comparing the result of maximum temperature, a difference of approximately 0.3 ℃, 2.4 ℃, and 17 ℃ was observed in case of T-1, T-2, and T-3. The reason of difference was that a human user cannot create the coordinates like a computer when developing the fire model. In the future, there will be consideration to conduct more case studies.

Abstract Maritime cultural heritage is under increasing threat around the world, facing damage, destruction, and disappearance. Despite attempts to mitigate these threats, maritime cultural heritage is often not addressed to the same extent or with equal resources. One approach that can be applied towards protecting and conserving threatened cultural heritage, and closing this gap, is capacity development. This paper addresses the question of how capacity development can be improved and adapted for the protection of maritime cultural heritage under threat. It asserts that capacity development for maritime cultural heritage can be improved by gaining a more comprehensive and structured understanding of capacity development initiatives through applying a consistent framework for evaluation and analysis. This allows for assessment and reflection on previous or ongoing initiatives, leading to the implementation of more effective initiatives in the future. In order to do this, a model for classifying initiatives by ten parameters is proposed. It is then applied to a number of case studies featuring initiatives in the Middle East and North Africa region. This is followed by a discussion of how conclusions and themes drawn from the examination and evaluation of the case study initiatives can provide a deeper understanding of capacity development efforts, and an analysis of how the parameter model as a framework can aid in improving capacity development for threatened maritime cultural heritage overall.

We briefly review the topics that our case studies in Vanuatu, Marianas, the Philippines, Taiwan, China, Vietnam, and Japan highlight, and note the value of these studies in framing a comparative approach to colonialism in the Asia-Pacific region. Each case study highlights different aspects in the colonial relationship. The chapters have been grouped following a geographical criterion, and the imbalance reflects the fact that some areas have been better studied than others (e.g. for Marianas), albeit with different perspectives. We express our hope that the book has gathered some previously little systematic or accessible evidence, offered comprehensive histories of some of the areas, and raised questions for the future.

Agriculture is one of the areas where blockchain technology could bring a revolution by solving the existing problem of Agri-product fraud, its traceability, price manipulation, and lack of customer trust in the product. This paper aims to demonstrate the potential application of blockchain technology in the agriculture industry and how it could address the existing issues by surveying the existing paper and following case studies of the blockchain start-up companies. Blockchain technology shows a promising approach to fostering a safer, better, more sustainable, and dependable agri-foods system in the future. While the application of blockchain in agriculture is in the initial phase and faces various issues like cost of implementation, privacy, security scalability, performance, and infancy, it can bring a revolution in the agriculture industry.

Chapter 4 uses modern-day case studies and extensive fieldwork to depict the current situation for those undertaking the pilgrimage. It shows how the construction of the MCH brought about a modernization of transportation to the shrine and also a renaissance of the walking practice to Hinglaj. It demonstrates how the infrastructure that developed along with the MCH, easier access to water, and a reduced chance of becoming lost in the desert have led to a revitalization of walking patterns and to new interpretations of the concept of austerity (Skt. tapasyā). A case study of a group of Gujarati pilgrims from India shows the situation for Hinglaj devotees on the other side of the border whose path to the Goddess contrasts starkly with that of their Pakistani counterparts. The chapter also discusses how recent developments around Hinglaj have exposed a gap between the traditional discursive representations of the pilgrimage and current practices at the shrine.

The aim of the article is to outline the prospects for the Russian natural gas market in the future and to present the Russian gas sector in comparison with the strategic “players” of the global market. The author examines the issues related to the production, transmission and sale of Russian natural gas. The main problem concerns the possibilities and limitations, that influence the power of the Russian “blue fuel” sector. The article presents briefly the results of the research, which were obtained mainly through the method of case study. The verification of the main hypothesis will be made from the top–down perspective, considering analysis of the actions of state decision-making centres. Less explicit impact, including the interaction of non-public actors (such as economic items), will be skipped, because their more precise consideration would provide to the interesting, but different direction of analysis of the sectoral groups of interest.

The Bear Claw case study was published in the Journal of Business Case Studies (September/October 2011 issue, Volume 7, Number 5). The case study has been used in marketing and entrepreneurship classes at several universities. Based on feedback from these classes and comments from individual reviewers, these notes were developed to support the teaching of the case. The Bear Claw drywall repair clips provide a unique and effective method for repairing damaged drywall. The product received positive trade and press feedback. However, the Bear Claw has yet to achieve the commercial success expected. After working through the case discussion questions, students should be able to identify missteps made in the past in commercializing the product and suggest potential strategic directions for the future of the Bear Claw

Model Based

This research proposes a few models of legal authority (hereinafter referred to as al-Wilayah) over the practice of Family Waqf in Malaysia. The research adopted a comparative case study based on the theory of al-Wilayah over the management of waqf. Five selected State Islamic Religious Councils (SIRCs) have been chosen: SIRC of Perak, Pulau Pinang, Kelantan, Terengganu, and Johore, prominent with Family Waqf. The author proposed models that broaden the involvement of many parties in waqf management based on the amalgamation of Wilayah Asliyyah and Wilayah Fariyyah in waqf affairs. These are models of the religious council, third-party model, and model of the subsidiary body. The contribution of this research was to provide more compatible models in the management of Family Waqf operationalized harmoniously with the Malaysian waqf jurisdiction. These models were expected to improve the current situation of Family Waqf in Malaysia, which was deemed incompatible with being managed by the SIRC alone. Based on the researcher’s best knowledge, there were no case studies that empirically investigated the current practice of Family Waqf according to the theory of al-Wilayah. Therefore, it was necessary to acquire an up-to-date situation of Family Waqf from the vantage point of al-Wilayah to assist the researcher in developing the model based on the actual loophole in its practice.
