“…The conversation process is called defuzzification process. For various types of defuzzification methods are buried in the literatures, this study utilizes the centroid method of defuzzification for its wide acceptance [45]. The linguistic variables described by fuzzy numbers are denoted by membership functions [45], which are presented in Table 1 and Figure 1, separately.…”

Evaluating Social Performance of Construction Projects: An Empirical Study

The concept of sustainable development is gaining increasing popularity in construction industry. Previous studies have prioritized on the sustainable performance of construction projects from perspectives of economy and environment, social performance of construction projects has not drawn much attention. Social performance of construction projects refers to the extent which the projects meet the needs of current and future generations. Therefore, social performance of construction projects is critical for project success as well as social sustainability. However, a systematic framework for evaluating social performance of construction projects is absent. At the same time, existing methods are time-consuming and subject to certain degree of subjectivity. To overcome these limitations, the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) method is introduced in this paper to evaluate social performance of construction projects. A real-world hospital redevelopment project was employed as an empirical study to develop the systematic framework for social performance evaluation using FAHP method. By analyzing previous studies and the hospital redevelopment project, a systematic framework with 18 indicators of five dimensions (i.e., socio-economy development, socio-environment development, social flexibility, public service development, and environment and resource conservation) was developed. Social performance of two proposed schemes for hospital redevelopment project were evaluated using the FAHP approach. Results show Scheme 2 has a relative higher social performance sore than that of Scheme 1 and the hospital redevelopment project would improve socio-economy development, socio-environment development, social flexibility, and public service development, while it brings challenges to environment and resource conservation. More seriously, results indicate the hospital project may threaten healthcare and disease prevention of the local communities. Therefore, more measures should be taken to improve social performance of the hospital redevelopment project. The empirical study shows the proposed framework using FAHP method is viable for conducting social performance evaluation of construction projects, which could be helpful to improve social performance, reduce negative social impacts, and contribute to the social sustainability of construction projects.

“…Though Uganda is getting more urbanised (over 76% of the Ugandans live in rural area), the influence of culture (and tradition) is still so strong among indigenous communities in Uganda. Health promoters have to manage diversity; the patient, family and the community where they live [24]. The cultural values of the patient and family within the locations/contexts must be given attention [24].…”

Health Promotion in Health Care – Vital Theories and Research

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Despite its vital importance, health promotion has not occupied its due place in public health in Uganda. The country is engulfed into a rising wave of both communicable and non-communicable conditions. This rising burden of both communicable and non-communicable conditions turns health promotion and palliative care essential health care packages; though there is little to show that these two important programs are getting vital support at policy and service delivery levels. A new theoretical framework that is anchored into sociocultural issues is essential in guiding the design and delivery of both health promotion and palliative care in Uganda. The salutogenic theory puts socio-cultural issues at the centre of developing health promotion and palliative care and, seems to solve this dilemma. In this chapter, illustrations from indigenous communities in Uganda are employed to demonstrate the challenges to the health promotion and palliative care agenda in the country and how they can be addressed. Uganda Ministry of Health should develop robust structures within public health for development of health promotion and palliative care in the country. Research should be conducted on the effectiveness of the current strategies on health promotion and palliative care and their cultural sensitivity and appropriateness. Given the limited resources available for development of health care in Uganda, as an overall strategy, health promotion and palliative care should be anchored in public health and its (public health) resources.

“…Moreover, AHP is usually used to determine the weight by the combination of qualitative and quantitative methods [22]. From the view of system sciences, the objective weight of different level index of the assessment model was established based on AHP method [23][24][25]. To deal with the problem, the following steps of AHP are shown as follows.…”

Mechanical and electrical products have complex structure and intelligent control system, their reliability plays an important role in the normal operation of security facilities. However, most manufacturers usually pay more attention to the product designing and manufacturing quality, with little interest in the intelligent fault diagnosis. The objective of this study is to develop the products quality intelligent analysis and management system based on Rough Set (RS) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Firstly, this paper reviews the principle of hardware, software design, monitoring platform and quality analysis system to reduce the number of information transfer with computer technology. Secondly, the fault types and feature extractions of different faults of elevators are presented and simplified by using RS theory. Then, the objective weight of level index model can be obtained by AHP method, and the comprehensive analysis weight of each index is obtained by using the value of subjective and objective weight coefficients with the golden ratio. Finally, a comprehensive decision weight of the major index for quality control analysis system of many vertical elevators is presented. The results show that the data-driven condition monitoring and quality analysis system is a kind of important means to prevent a disaster of complex mechanical and electrical products.
