The development of industrial revolution in this world has led to massive automation in work areas which can be handled with robots. Therefore, it may result in some potitive and negative consequences. This paper suggests policy ideas on taxing robots to control automation in the industrial revolution development. Using qualitative method with literature reviews, data documentation and data analysis, the author raises some ideas to tax the robot as an automation control policy. This study explores the development of industrial revolution which triggers automation in some administrative and repetitive activities. Then, this paper does not only elaborate scientific journal related to robot tax, challenges, and automation as a result of industrial revolution, but also countries which have implemented this policy, so that taxing robots can be utilized as a policy to control the automation. This research found that there are some opportunities to apply the robot tax to control automation. Furthermore, the author suggested alternatives other than robot tax to deal with automation.

Abstract The purpose of the study was to find out behavior setting and its elements in Kampung Blok Empang. Kampung Blok Empang which is located on the coast of North Jakarta has a port setting and is bypassed by tourist access to the Kepulauan Seribu, so it is interesting to know how the behavior setting in this village is. Data collection is done by field observation and secondary data. The approach used in this research is deductive-qualitative with the research variables in the form of behavior setting. The Behavior Setting in Kampung Blok Empang is shown by how the setting of the urban village located in the port area affects most of the relationships between physical objects and the behavior of residents in the village. The best performance of behavior setting in Kampung Blok Empang is shown in the open space because its milieu-behavior interdependency. It is shown by the repetitive behavior in this specific milieu. The spatial Pattern type is formed by the collective activity of residents and the sea condition. They were characterized by the repetitive activities within their economic and social aspects.

Abstract API SC2 has issued integrity management recommended practices to compliment the planning, design and construction standards that has led to a GOM installed base of 50 floating production facilities. Integrity management involves risk-based inspections in which the collection and analysis of characteristic and conditional data determines if integrity can be assured. The challenge to manage unstructured data with the same design and construction approaches yields inefficient and repetitive activities that can be time-consuming and may lead to a less optimal outcome. The primary objective of the study is to understand the benefits of utilizing a digitized IM approach which involves high resolution metocean data to determine fatigue damage accumulation for tendons and risers instead of traditional design/assessment methods that use condensed metocean criteria data.

Accountants have embraced the emission of automation over many years to get better the efficiency and effectiveness of their work. But technology has not been able to replace the need for expert knowledge and decision-making. Earlier generations of ‘intelligent systems have usually demonstrated the progressing power of human expertise and the restrictions of machines. In the upcoming decades, intelligent systems must take over more and better decision-making tasks from humans. While accountant has been using technology for a lot of years to improve what they do and deliver more value to businesses, this is an opportunity to reimagine and radically improve the quality of business and investment decisions which is the ultimate purpose of the profession. Accountants, as expert decision-makers, use both ways of thinking they apply their knowledge to specific situations to make reasoned decisions, although also make quick intuitive decisions based on extensive experience in their field. Today, AI is being used for image recognition, object identification, detection, classification, and automated geophysical feature detection. These are underlying tasks that once required the input of a human. Focusing on how artificial intelligence will impact accountants, AI will very soon help the organization to automate much of the routine and repetitive activities that are undertaken on a daily, weekly or annual basis. It will also help the organization to empower quick decision-making to create smart insights examine huge quantities of data with ease.

The level of stress or depression began to increase due to the emergence of the COVID 19 virus pandemic. Lockdown and PSBB (Large-Scale Social Restrictions) were taken by several countries including Indonesia.This step was taken to prevent the spread of COVID 19 but this step does not seem to take into account the impact.They cannot socialize with others and can only stay at home with the same and repetitive activities that occur for a long time and they can only explore the outside by looking at news programs that provide updates on additional cases of COVID around the world.Who would have thought behind it all there is a big impact that occurs, the act of staying in this house will cause considerable stress or depression. This huge impact indirectly makes people start to fret and fear.In addressing this huge impact, this project is designed to provide healing containers that can help sufferers release stress or depression and can also relax. Therefore to get the results as expected, designed using the following stages, namely; a) Selection of Pantai Indah Kapuk Area; b) Issue Resolution; c) Design Analysis; d) Zoning; e) Façade, Exterior and Interior. This design provides a Mental Health Environment by using or applying Healing methods in the form of Healing Garden and Online Theraphy (to keep creating a social communication). Keywords: Biophilic Design; Depression; Healing Garden; Methapore; Stress Abstrak Tingkat stress atau depresi mulai mengalami peningkatan karena dipicu munculnya pandemi virus COVID 19. Langkah Lockdown dan PSBB (Pembatasan Soaial Berskala Besar) di ambil oleh beberapa Negara termasuk Indonesia. Langkah ini diambil untuk pencegahan penyebaran COVID 19 tetapi pengambilan langkah ini sepertinya tidak memperhitungkan dampak yang ditimbulkan. Mereka tidak dapat melakukan tindakan bersosialisasi dengan orang lain dan hanya dapat berdiam diri di dalam rumah dengan aktifitas yang sama dan berulang yang terjadi dalam waktu yang cukup lama dan mereka hanya dapat mengetahaui dunia luar dengan melihat program berita yang memberikan update tentang kasus penambahan COVID diseluruh dunia. Siapa sangka di balik itu semua ada dampak besar yang terjadi, tindakkan tetap berada di rumah ini akan menimbulkan stress atau depresi yang cukup besar. Dampak besar ini secara tidak langsung membuat masyarakat mulai resah dan takut. Dalam mengatasi dampak besar ini maka proyek ini di desain mengarah kepada penyediaan wadah penyembuhan yang dapat membantu penderita melepaskan stress atau depresi dan juga dapat rileks. Maka dari itu untuk mendapatkan hasil yang sesuai harapan, perancangan di rancang menggunakan tahapan sebagi berikut, yaitu; a) Pemilihan Kawasan Pantai Indah Kapuk; b) Penyelesaian Isu; c) Analisis Perancangan; d) Zoning; e) Façade, Eksterior dan Interior. Perancangan ini memberikan sebuah Mental Health Environment dengan menggunakan atau menerapkan metode Healing berupa Healing Garden dan Online Theraphy (untuk tetap menciptakan sebuah komunikasi sosial).

Human factors (HF) can improve business performance. Our objective is to harness individual tacit knowledge from senior directors about human factors as it relates to strategic goals and to make explicit their shared managerial thinking with an aim to identifying improvement opportunities using HF. Individual cognitive maps were drawn during one-hour interviews with seven senior directors of a large electronics firm. The maps were then merged on a common strategic goal of 'improving quality' into a group map containing 221 concepts and 900 loops. In a two hour workshop with the directors, reducing fatigue, improving systems design, and reducing repetitive activities were concepts that emerged as critical-to-quality. Workshop discussions identified untapped improvement opportunities.Directors viewed the maps as a dynamic indicator of their HF performance. Making the connection between HF and strategic goals explicit can help an organisation identify opportunities to improve human, and therefore business, performance.

Temperature gradient changes on the surface of the skin or in the middle of the body are signs of a disease. The aim of this study is to develop quantitative models for the prediction of cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs) arising from highly repetitive activities, considering risk factors, such as age, gender, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure (BP), respiratory rate (RR), and heart rate, to prevent injuries in manufacturing factory operators. This research involved 19 individuals from the area of sanding and 14 individuals from the area of tolex in manufacturing factories who had their vital signs and somatometry taken, as well as thermal images of their hands in the dorsal and palmar areas; an evaluation by the OCRA method was also applied. Factors such as BP and heart rate were determined to significantly influence the injuries, but no strong association with BMI was found. Quadratic regression models were developed, the estimates of which were adequately adjusted to the variable (R2 and R2 adjusted > 0.70). When integrating the factors of the OCRA method to the generated models, a better fit was obtained (R2 and adjusted R2 > 0.80). In conclusion, the participants who present levels out of the normal range in at least one of the factors have high probabilities of developing injuries in their wrists.

This research explores the relationship between space and activity as a means of investigating a phenomenological understanding of Korean floor-based living. An understanding of the floor as space has been a fundamental element in Korean everyday life since the ondol (a traditional Korean floor heating system) became the prevalent heating resource throughout the Korean peninsula during the time of the Joseon Dynasty (1392–1910). Thus, I will draw upon the spatial implications of these cultural practices by engaging with the spatial experience of the ondol, which is fundamentally different to the Western lifestyle that has been layered over this regional tradition. I argue that the spatial typology is informed by repetitive activities in terms of everyday life and that the floor is a substantial element for Korean identity that refers back to this rich cultural tradition. This distinguishes the Korean home as unique, in a similar way to the more well-known particularities and cultural heritage found in Japanese and Chinese houses.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to identify optimum crew formations at unit execution level of repetitive projects that minimize project duration, project cost, crew work interruptions and interruption costs, simultaneously.Design/methodology/approachThe model consists of four modules. The first module quantifies uncertainties associated with the crew productivity rate and quantity of work using the fuzzy set theory. The second module identifies feasible boundaries for activity relaxation. The third module computes direct cost, indirect cost and interruption costs, including idle crew cost as well as mobilization and demobilization costs. The fourth module identifies near-optimum crew formation using a newly developed multi-objective optimization model.FindingsThe developed model was able to provide improvements of 0.2, 16.86 and 12.98% for minimization of project cost, crew work interruptions and interruption costs from US$1,505,960, 8.3 days and US$8,300, as recently reported in the literature, to US$1,502,979, 6.9 days and US$7,222, respectively, without impacting the optimized project duration.Originality/valueThe novelty of this paper lies in its activity-relaxation free float that considers the effect of postponing early finish dates of repetitive activities on crew work interruptions. The introduced new float allows for calculating the required crew productivity rate that minimizes crew work interruptions without delaying successor activities and without impacting the optimized project duration. It safeguards against assignment of unnecessary costly resources.
