Construction projects often face a lot of uncertainties, which place building and road construction projects at the risk of time overruns, cost as well as poor quality delivery. Therefore, project risk management is an essential part of the decision-making process in a construction company as it determines the success or failure of construction projects. This paper aims to determine the extent of construction risk management among the Malaysian construction companies and to rank the specific factors affecting contractors' risk attitudes among the Malaysian construction companies. Simple random under probability sampling techniques were used. A review of relevant literature and a questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale of (1) very low to (5) very high was adopted in gathering data regarding the extent of risk management and ranking of human factors affecting contractors' risk attitudes in the Malaysian construction companies. The sample size used for analysis is 146. This study also focused on the G7 contractors operating in the Malaysian construction industry. Findings revealed that construction risk management has not been highly implemented among the Malaysian construction companies and that the five leading factors affecting risk attitudes of contractors are as follows: work experience, physical health, educational background, professional competence, and emotional intelligence. The outcomes of this study can be used to inform decision-makers about strategies for risk management in handling contractors' risk attitudes, thus providing stakeholders with the necessary information for enhancing risk management performance in the construction industry.

Although the theoretical benefits of ICT implementation have been clarified, realizing such benefits is insufficient. This paper attempted a systematic analysis of the literature using ATLAS.ti 9 software to save, identify, and analyze this study’s data. A total of 102 articles were actively reviewed, including 82 Scopus journals and 20 conference papers published from 2003 to 2020. In this article, from a construction industry point of view, the ICT adoption process is considered as an interaction between technology, task, and an individual from a construction industry perspective. While ICT is acknowledged as a source of aggressive gain by both practitioners and scholars, ICT’s sole presence would definitely not guarantee achievement in the industry’s ICT approval.

They play the most important roles in implementing construction projects, and their activities have a significant impact on their risk attitudes during the execution of projects. Because each participant has their particular interests, by proprietary information, each participant is driven to achieve maximum benefit, which can result in improper behaviour concerning each other. The risk in this situation is that there would be a moral hazard and adverse selection based on information asymmetry among principal construction participants especially contractors; this outcome is called risk attitudes. Behaviour is affected by various risk factors and the successful implementation of construction projects depends on effective management of the key risk factors part of which is a personal factor.

Due to lack of vision either partial or complete, such people are highly dependent on the sense of hearing to perform day to day activities. One more form of vision impairment is colour blindness. Individuals with colour blindness find it hard to distinguish between colours. This research proposes making software that can help such individuals for solving the unawareness of the surrounding of the visually impaired people which allows them to have a greater awareness of their surroundings. The software needs an input device typically a camera and an audio feedback system. The camera will continuously capture images and the algorithm recognize the objects in the image and output the result using the audio feedback system. The system also proposes to include colour extraction to also correctly identify the colour of the object and a further addition is to identify individuals if enough datasets are provided. If any suspicious/dangerous objects detected in the surrounding the software will inform the user about the imminent danger. This study has analysed Faster R-CNN, SSD (Single Shot MultiBox Detector) and YOLO (You only look once) for their accuracy and rate of object detection. This research also studied different operating scenarios of the device which includes operation at night and operation in various orientations. The results of the object recognition system while using YOLO have an accuracy of 59.7% and 10fps during real-time operation, which is sufficient for assisting visually impaired people in realizing the types and localities of the objects around them.

Many industries worldwide are installing their new production capability. Bio-plastics have attracted political leaders’ interest, especially in light of the evolving bio-economic orientation, through their use of renewable resources and their effects on sustainable growth. Related market determinants are defined, classified, and used as a base for their own estimates. The evolution of global production capacity is modeled annually for the timeframe up to 2030 by applying a system dynamics strategy. For a long-term forecast to catch the inherent volatility, various scenarios are identified and added to the model to represent different trends in the price of gross domestic product (GDP), oil, and bioplastic feedstock. Thus, our findings show the sensitivity in the macro-economic climate of the bioplastics sector. The s...
