“…This method serves as a pivotal tool for exploring various dimensions of construction management. Notably, researchers adeptly utilize thematic analysis to uncover integrated applications of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in project cost management [28][29][30]. Its consistent application underscores its effectiveness in methodically revealing, categorizing, and interpreting key themes and patterns within the intricate landscape of construction management research.…”

Railway mega-projects are typically enormous large-scale investment projects that require a long time to develop and build. However, compared to other types of transportation, the railway is a safe mode of land transportation. Therefore, development such as railway mega-projects positively impacts small and medium construction companies. This study aims to study the impact of railway mega-projects on small and medium construction companies and investigate the problems that small and medium construction companies experience involving railway mega-projects. This study used a qualitative method of open-ended interviews to collect data from small and medium construction companies. The collected data from twenty individuals were analyzed using the thematic analysis method. The results show that the challenges of mega railway projects are divided into technical and resources. Apart from that, job opportunities are the main factor contributing to the impact of mega railway projects. The study contributes by providing insights on the impact of mega railway projects on small and medium construction companies and the challenges involving mega railway projects.

Atmospheric dust deposition supplies a significant amount of macro-and micronutrients to surface ocean water, thus playing a vital role in modulating phytoplankton growth. In this context, we measured soluble and total bioactive trace elements (TEs; Fe, Mn, and Cu) along with eolian dust concentration in aerosol samples collected over a wide area of the Arabian Sea during the southwest monsoon (SWM) month of two consecutive years (2017 and 2018). Our objective in this study is to assess the spatial variability of TEs and quantify their fluxes over the Arabian Sea. Relatively higher mineral dust concentrations were observed during the campaign period compared to earlier studies over the Arabian Sea. A large spatial variability in total Fe (91−2830 ng m −3 ) and soluble Fe (0.3−32.7 ng m −3 ) concentrations was observed in contrast to Mn and Cu. However, the operational fractional solubility (defined as the fraction of soluble metal leached using ultrapure deionized water out of the total metal) is relatively low (less than 3.6%) for Fe as compared to Mn (range: 6−87%) and Cu (4−79%). Higher enrichment factors were observed for Mn (range: 1−37) and Cu (range: 6−96), particularly in the northern sector, suggesting the partial contribution of TEs from the anthropogenic emissions that is further corroborated by air-mass back trajectory analyses. An inverse hyperbolic relationship between fractional solubility and total metal concentration is observed for Fe (similar to previous observations); however, no such association is found in case of Mn and Cu. The dry deposition fluxes of Fe, Mn, and Cu to surface water of the Arabian Sea were estimated as 757, 38.8, and 1.4 μg m −2 day −1 , respectively. These fluxes are on the higher side compared to those reported from other oceanic regions of the globe.
