Comparative study on the effectiveness of building maintenance scheduling between two multipurpose hall buildings

Buildings maintenance is very important for the building and building occupants. Maintenance is a service to make sure the performance of the building in good condition throughout its design life. It is very much needed so we can have very good environment that can help us do our work peacefully. Occupants demand to have priority in terms of comfort of ability to use and utilise the facilities and services as it must be fit for purpose of the user. Work productivity of workers may be demotivated and interrupted due to poor building facilities conditions. In order to prevent that, we have to make sure the building maintenance scheduling are well prepared and followed. This study is about comparative study on the effectiveness of building maintenance scheduling between two multipurpose hall buildings. The objectives of the case study are to investigate the procedure of building maintenance scheduling for the buildings, compare the maintenance scheduling approach between the two multipurpose hall buildings and suggest the best method to practice in the development of building maintenance. This investigation will be carried out through field study and interview from both building. At the end of this study, the data for analysis from the interview have been gathered and it shows that both building are using the same maintenance approaches. Discussion has been explained to provide the comparison for the effectiveness of building maintenance scheduling for both building. Both buildings had made improvement in the building to overcome the building defects and increase the building performance. The buildings have been properly maintain in order to keep it well perform. Some recommendations have been suggested for the future used in having effective building maintenance scheduling. The results from this study are the effectiveness of building maintenance scheduling for both multipurpose buildings have been properly studied and investigated

DESIGN OF MECHATRONIC SYSTEM FOR EYEBALL MOVEMENT

Human eye is a potential medium to discover non-verbal communication. It can be done by observing the eye characteristics such as eye gaze and eye blinks activities. Eye movement and eye blink are the main parameters of the project where it can be used to relate with eye fatigue. The information on these parameters can be obtained by designing a prototype that using infrared oculography technique. This technique is based on the infrared light reflection on the iris. Infrared emitter projects infrared light toward eye and its reflection will be captured by the sensor. The signals from the sensor are transformed into line graph form in order to obtain the movement pattern for analysis process. By doing comparison on the data patterns due to different Visual Display Terminal (VDT) conditions, eye fatigue state can be set and known. In this project, the prototype is successfully fabricated and performed well in fake eye test. However, the prototype seems having problem with low infrared light intensity after the light has been reflected on the iris. But, there are some modifications that have been proposed in order to improve the performance and sensitivity of the prototype

Comparative analysis of monetary and fiscal Policy: a case study of Pakistan

This study investigates the comparative effect of fiscal and monetary policy on economic growth in Pakistan using annual time series data from 1981 to 2009. The cointegration result suggests that both monetary and fiscal policy have significant and positive effect on economic growth. The coefficient of monetary policy is much greater than fiscal policy which implies that monetary policy has more concerned with economic growth than fiscal policy in Pakistan. The implication of the study is that the policy makers should focus more on monetary policy than fiscal to enhance economic growth. The role of fiscal policy can be more effective for enhancing economic growth by eliminating corruption, leakages of resources and inappropriate use of resources. However, the combination and harmonization of both monetary and fiscal policy are highly recommended.Monetary Policy, Fiscal Policy, Economic Growth.
