Imbued with a rigid and static conception of culture, studies have long excluded any impact of TIC on this variable. The presumed relationship between culture, TIC use and performance was a one-way street. Today, a very different image of culture represents it as an open and dynamic system; susceptible to change as a result of TIC adoption. It is in this perspective that this study aims to analyze the complementarity of corporate culture and TIC in the quest for performance. The problematic that arises is to know how the use of TIC acts on the corporate culture in the search for performance. Based on the hypothesis that the adaptation of the corporate culture to the evolution of TIC leads to performance. The analysis of the results of a survey by opinion poll near a sample of 580 Malagasy companies made it possible to affirm that the use of TIC can be adjusted to the corporate culture because a communication of the culture via TIC can lead to better performances.","PeriodicalId":153802,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Science and Engineering Review","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129169528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most urban areas have poorly managed traffic networks with several critical traffic points or potential congestion areas. The rapid growth of population in urban areas jeopardize the mobility with the consequences resulting into traffic congestion. Limited studies based on the critical traffic points to access the performance of urban road networks, which allow analytically prediction of for occurrence of traffic congestion exist. The current work evaluates the effectivity of urban road networks in Dar es salaam for easy and smooth distribution of resources and essential services to the public. The study used standard deviations derived from Travel time-delay data to evaluate these road network performances which were collected using test moving cars. Results indicate the critical traffic points that have standard deviations below 0.30 and above 0.10 derived from travel time-delay transition and congestion indices signify lower performance of an urban road network section due to jam and crowded traffic flow condition. whereas, those with higher values greater than 0.3 and below 0.1 for travel time-delay and congestion index respectively indicate high effectiveness due free flow phenomena. It is thus concluded that the road network with high number of critical traffic points indicated to experience jam and crowded traffic flow condition is the one less effective and hence need detailed study aiming at relieving the situations.","PeriodicalId":153802,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Science and Engineering Review","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114987907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Risk management is an important field of the construction industry. Many companies often establish a risk management procedure in their projects for improving performance and increase profits. No project is free from risks. The accomplishment of project success in the construction industry mainly depends upon the level of risk. The main objective of the project is to identify the risk and provide the best solutions using primavera risk analysis software. This study investigates risk-related responsibilities for the client, architect & contractor. Some of the risks determined in the project are defective design, financial issues, delay in permitting, availability of drawings, changes in codes & drawing changes in the scope of work, payment delay, accidents during construction. The next goal is to identify risk management techniques in the construction industry. The whole process of identification and mitigation is termed risk management. In Construction projects are concerned with the utilization of skills, tools, techniques, and knowledge about the activities of projects. Management of risk is examined to be the most important part of the execution in construction management. This study has taken a real-time schedule from the construction industry and have implemented the identified risk factors according to risk ranking from the questionnaire survey in construction industry. Based on the risk ranking, a risk model is created in the Primavera risk analysis software for qualitative and quantitative risk. The risk model will generate risk scoring and a risk matrix. Based on this, the schedule to mitigate risk will be generated. We can control the risk in software and an updated risk plan will be given to managers in the construction industry to manage risk more efficiently. It may be concluded that the most significant risks must be managed with greater effort to reduce or eliminate their effects on the project.","PeriodicalId":153802,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Science and Engineering Review","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126690635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pollution index (PIJ) model was used to assess water quality for irrigation. The results of the current study indicated that the water quality index (PIj) values ranged between (0.9691 to 1.4559) and that 66.7% of the water samples were from the Lightly polluted water category, and the rest were from the good quality category for irrigation purposes. The relative deterioration of most of the irrigation water samples is attributed to the high concentration of bicarbonate ions (HCO3 - ) and the magnesium hazard (M.H), which reached (7.80) meq. l-1 and (84.0), respectively.","PeriodicalId":153802,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Science and Engineering Review","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122434877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The absence of safety parameters around water points would favor water contamination. The purpose of this study is to determine the security parameter at the sources (points) of improved drinking water in the Isiro Health Zone. Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in the Isiro health zone during the period from March 21 to May 21, 2022. Three hundred and eighty women heads of households, including 240 in urban areas and 140 in rural were selected on an occasional basis. A survey questionnaire comprising variables related to the sources of drinking water supply, the time required for the supply, the existence of a cemetery upstream of the source and access to animals and children at the source. The data collected were encoded and processed in SPSS 20 software. The Chi-square statistical test was used to compare the proportion of households consuming water from improved sources in urban areas and in rural areas, by a level confidence of 0.05%. Results: The elements of the security parameters around water supply points were lacking: children and animals had access to 56% of sources, dirty aspects were observed around 50% of water points, the canal of divergence was only present in 11% and the absence of closures in 94%. Conclusion: access to drinking water is a serious problem in the health zone of Isiro. The few improved water sources erected in the area are not well maintained, which means that the safety parameters are not taken into account by the population.","PeriodicalId":153802,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Science and Engineering Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129849739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fiscal policy by introducing an environmental tax on imports could be a proposal in this direction. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze the impacts of a potential environmental tax on imported products that generate pollution and waste. The models chosen have highlighted the environmental gain, in terms of reduction in the volume of polluting products (with the simple linear regression model), although the reduction is limited to specific goods (with the multiple linear regression model), as well as the obtaining of additional revenue likely to be allocated to the financing of well-defined projects.","PeriodicalId":153802,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Science and Engineering Review","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132133291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The operations efficiency among the selected seaports from South and East African countries were compared and evaluated. The container throughput (TEUs), the available number of cranes, the quay length, the number of berths obtainable to hold up ships and total terminal area have been used as variables for input and output. The findings were; East African seaports have a lower container throughput volume (TEUs) and are smaller seaports size compared to South African seaports, but these East Africa seaports in general are more efficient than South African seaports. However, Durban seaport specifically in South Africa has been found to be the most efficient seaport among the six selected seaports from both regions (South and East African seaports). Moreover, the findings revealed that the least efficient seaport for the selected region over ten years is Walvis Bay seaport in South Africa. In this regard, policy maker should embrace the private and public investments as financial alternative sources. The timely, investment in port promotes a culture to modernise seaports so as to cope with the technological changes in maritime transport and improves seaport competitiveness and quality of services. The finding will be important in considering the selection of the future development strategies to be implemented by the seaports which are involved in this study.","PeriodicalId":153802,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Science and Engineering Review","volume":"120 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133253961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
