Environmental Impact Categories

In the on-site rebar delivery system, as the common method of rebar supply in the construction industry, reinforced steel bars are delivered in large batches from supplier's facilities through contractor's warehouse to the construction site. Rebars are then fabricated on-site and installed after assembly. In the new delivery system, called prefabrication Just-In-Time (prefab-JIT) system, the off-site cut and bend along with frequent rebar delivery to the site are applied in order to improve the process and increase its efficiency. The main objective of this paper is to assess and compare the environmental impacts resulting from the air emissions associated with the two rebar delivery systems in a case study construction project. Environmental impact categories of interest include global warming, acidification, eutrophication, and smog formation. A process-based cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment methodology is applied to perform the analysis. The results show that the prefab-JIT rebar delivery system causes less contribution to all mentioned environmental impact categories compared with a traditional on-site delivery system.

The main task of the project manager is risk management. However, this task can be very complicated and inefficient if risk management is not considered from the beginning of the project. An effective risk management approach requires a systematic and appropriate approach, knowledge and experience. Studies of many projects have shown that both the owner and the contractor do not regularly implement risk management practices, which can have negative consequences on project performance. Because of the above-mentioned issues in this study, it is attempted to first evaluate the concepts of project risk management based on different and valid standards, to evaluate risk management in construction projects. Then, an attempt has been made to present an implementation approach for implementing six stages of risk management in projects. For this purpose, based on the experiences of the project “Lala Residential Complex” in Kabul, as a case study, the experimental application of the proposed method in this study, step by step, along with forms designed for follow-up and Implementation of process steps have been evaluated and evaluated in accordance with the PMBOK standard by the Project Management Institute (PMI) to ensure that it is moving toward achieving project economic risk management goals.

Paranasal mucoceles are a type of cysts that evolve slowly and are asymptomatic; this poses a difficulty in diagnosing the patient because the symptoms can go unnoticed. The mucocele evolves unpredictably. On the one hand, it can become infected turning into pyoceles and on the other hand, it can invade important regions such as the orbital, cranial or genian regions, creating facial asymmetry. This is a retrospective case study of 37 patients diagnosed with sinus mucoceles, followed up by clinical examination and paraclinical tests such as CT and MRI scans. The biochemical components of the liquid from within the mucocele were analyzed and the following criteria were recorded: NaCl-, Cl-, Na+ and cholesterine as well as cellular components such as mastocytes, macrophages, hematocytes and leucocytes. In all cases, the treatment option was surgery with favorable post-operative and follow-up evaluation. The mucoceles that appeared post-operatively (maxillary and ethmoid sinuses) evolved more rapidly than the mucoceles that were induced byan external injury. Longer follow-up of operated patients permitted a more timely diagnosis of recurrences.
