How technology is impacting the construction industry
Topic:
How technology is impacting the construction industry
Methodological Approach
The questionnaire and case study are based on the imperative of traversing the impact of technological advancements and their direct correlation with the future of the construction industry globally. These methods successfully describe the systematic characteristics of the merits and demerits of technology–directly implied in this sector of the industry (Hampson, 2020). Simultaneously, it establishes a cause-and-effect relationship between the former and the latter. The initial hypothesis suggests that technological advancements have positively impacted the construction industry, thereby multiplying the productivity and yields. To prove the hypothesis, both quantitative and qualitative data types are used, in form of questionnaires and case studies (SalahAlaloul, March 2020).
Types of data used
Data was collected through questionnaires and surveys distributed. Questions revolved around both discrete and continuous forms of data. Answers on the survey ranged from 0 to 5, where 5 was the best score and 0 was the worst score that could be given (Leite, November 2016). Arithmetic and Statistical operations of Linear Regression and T-test were later used to analyse the data.
Ethical considerations
Identifiable private information such as names and job statuses of those who participated in the survey were kept anonymous to maintain confidentiality. All the participants partook in this research voluntarily (Ngowi, November 2005). Hence informed consent was religiously followed.
Method of Data Collection
Statistical analysis makes it possible to analyse and comprehend the data supplied in quantitative research. This allows scientists and researchers to better grasp and interpret the data presented in quantitative research. A variety of qualitative research techniques are used, including in-depth talks, in-depth surveys, and case studies or document reviews, to name a few. As a general rule, quantitative data tells us about the choices made by respondents, but qualitative data explains why those decisions were made. Findings drawn from quantitative observation are more accurate than conclusions drawn from qualitative observation techniques, which cannot be quantified. When doing quantitative research, it is essential to choose an adequate sample size in order to assure accuracy and consistency. A sufficient number of respondents should be included in a sample to allow for broad observations to be made that are representative of the whole population. Since larger samples are more reliable and can lead to more important conclusions, market researchers who use larger samples in their research can use the information gathered in the study to get more reliable information.
Quantitative surveys, which are a kind of data collection instrument, may be used to gather information from people and groups. Category questions (e.g., “yes/no”) and interval/ratio questions are the most frequently encountered forms of inquiries (e.g., rating-scale, Likert-scale). They may be able to deduce information about their gender, income, profession, and other demographics from the information they collect, in addition to their other characteristics. In this instance, as well, a Likert scale was used. The questions were created by using a combination of discrete and continuous data sources. The responses to the survey were graded on a scale of 0 to 5, with 5 being the highest possible score and 0 representing the lowest possible score, with the highest possible score being 5.
During survey administration, a psychometric scale known as the Likert scale is utilised to generate scale-based questions. It’s a popular kind of question that you’ll encounter in surveys. When responding to a Likert-style survey question, respondents may choose from among a number of replies that correlate to their degree of agreement or disagreement with the topic, rather than just replying “yes” or “no.” When doing market research and measuring a respondent’s view or attitude toward a certain issue, the use of Likert scale survey questions is vital. For survey responses, it is typical to use a Likert scale with a response range of five, seven, or nine points to determine how strongly they agree or disagree with various claims stated in the questionnaire. In order to examine a single construct, there are multiple approaches that may be used, the most popular of which is to make several assertions in rapid succession. It is a valuable tool for academics working in many different domains due to the fact that this technique is relevant to so many different topics.
Methods of Analysis
It is necessary to design an adequate research framework in order to completely appreciate the outcomes of the survey on technology use. In order to control the use of technology in construction survey operations, this study framework has been developed. This study framework is based on data from a recent survey and previous research, and it will be used as the foundation for more research in the coming years.
By demonstrating how to do so (technological acceptance and utilisation), TAM teaches consumers how to accept and utilise a technical solution. According to the idea of user-centered design, a variety of variables impact users’ decisions on how and when to utilise new technology when it is first given to them. The results of the t-test, rather than the output of the TAM, will be the primary focus of this study’s investigation into the amount to which new technologies are being adopted.
Contractors were asked to fill in the questionnaires and a t-test was performed to see if there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups of contractors in their acceptance of new technology, their understanding of technology, and their experience with implementing new technology. It is the p-value that is used to establish whether or not there is a statistically significant difference in technology real-utilisation, perceived ease of use, and perceived utility when testing for statistically significant differences. By doing a t-test on particular technical features, this poll may be used to determine whether or not construction sector contractors embrace such elements. Creating groups of individuals may, of course, aid you in your efforts to achieve this aim. The t-test is used to determine whether or not the means of two groups are statistically different from one another. This technique is useful for comparing the mean values of two groups, and it is particularly advantageous for this purpose. In addition to understanding and utilisation of technology, the perceived ease with which technological developments may be applied and the perceived worth of technological breakthroughs are also items on the t-test.
Mathematical sampling based on the theories of statistical probability was used. Units and variables were selected from the population in an arranged mathematical order. Stata was used as the primary computational method to measure the quantifiable dataset. Longitudinal studies and paper surveys were distributed amongst the sampled population on the controlled construction sites. The survey had questionnaires with each unit containing six to seven relevant questions. Each question either asked to rank the improvement on a scale of 0 to 5 or answer where on the construction site was that particular piece of technology most effective.
The SPSS and Stata software packages were utilised in the analysis of the data acquired via questionnaires, and the results were extrapolated. SPSS enabled me to foresee the trend and to produce projections in a timely and straightforward manner. For the purpose of statistically extrapolating the answers from the questionnaire, simple linear regression as well as T-tests were used (Hampson, 2020). Stata makes it simple to investigate data patterns and to create graphical representations of the data with ease.
Statistical testing will be performed on the raw data acquired from the questionnaires, and a summary of the findings will be prepared based on the output results. Open-ended questions will be provided in order to get a varied range of responses. The surveys will be made available on the internet, and participation from building project managers will be solicited using social media sites and electronic word of mouth campaigns. The participants will not be needed to provide their permission. For the purpose of allowing anonymous participation, links to the questionnaire will be made accessible on various social media platforms.

How are the line items “justified” within the budget table? Which items are explained well? Are there any items that could be better explained, and how?
Please read the entire document.
You recently worked on a portion of my draft grant proposal project, and I am hoping you can complete this portion as well since you know what the grant is about. This time I would like you to complete the budget portion. Below I provided you with the lecture notes to know how the budget works. I also included a small sample that was provided as an idea of how to set it up. I also attached RFP document so please make sure you read what they need exactly for the budget section. The budget. Narrative part must be at least 2 and half pages, other than tables. The total for 3 years is 300,000 but we can only request 100,000 per year. Make sure you cover all 3 years in the narrative and tables. I have all the items and personnel I want included at the end of this document. Please use proper grammar and all tables should be made on document and no merging of cells because it needs to be accessible. Please let me know if you have any questions.
The lecture about budget proposals:
Overview
The budget section of the grant is critical to the success of your proposal. Be aware that sometimes the budget is reviewed before the proposal; therefore, it is important to have enough information in the budget justification section for the numbers to be understood.
Readings
Koch Chapters 2 & 14
Budget information is typically presented 1) in a narrative section justifying expenses, especially unusual items, and 2) in a table in Appendices that includes Income and Expenses (or Costs). For this course, we are only concerned with Expenses.
Reflect all costs that you report in your Narrative
Whatever appears in the Narrative should appear in the Budget
Whatever appears in the Budget should appear in the Narrative
In Chapter 14 under “Budget Narrative,” the budget example provided in this reading includes the narrative (“justification”) within the table. How are the line items “justified” within the budget table? Which items are explained well? Are there any items that could be better explained, and how?
For examples of how to organize budgets, refer to your text, and the Delaware Valley Grantmakers offers a “Common Application” template for writing general foundation grants, and wWithin this template is a budget section (the file is provided below).
In the end, your budget must add up. If it doesn’t, chances are that someone will discover the error at some point. And your budget must not exceed the amount of money that the funding source is able to award. But when formatting your costs, grant budgets are generally broken down in terms of Direct and Indirect costs.
Direct Costs (represent most of the total budget)
This includes personnel and non-personnel. Personnel includes everyone who is working on the project. Non-personnel represents equipment, supplies, travel, phone, printing, postage, etc.
Personnel (50-60% of the total budget)
To calculate the budget cost of a salaried employee for one year, multiply their annual salary ($) by the amount of time the employee will spend on the project.
To calculate the budget cost of an hourly employee, multiply their hourly rate ($) by the hours per week the employee will spend on the project and the number of weeks they will be involved with the project.
To calculate fringe benefits (such as Social Security, Medicare, insurance, retirement), organizations have pre-determined rates for fringe benefits. Multiply this pre-determined percentage by the salaried employee pay
For volunteers, you may need to indicate how much time employees spend on volunteer recruitment.
Sample Personnel Costs
Let’s say there is a low vision clinic proposing a one-year project that will run for 50 weeks. The project will require one part-time salaried Optometrist, one full-time salaried Therapist/Coordinator and one part-time hourly Therapist/Coordinator.
The Optometrist is a full-time salaried employee making $60,000 per year, but will only work 50% full-time equivalent (FTE) on the project.
Therapist/Coordinator 1 is a full-time salaried employee making $35,000 per year, and will work 100% FTE on the project.
Therapist/Coordinator 2 is a part-time hourly employee making $50 per hour, and will work 8 hours per week for 25 weeks.
The organization assigns the rate of 30% to fringe benefits.
Using the formulae above, calculate the cost for each of the three employees, fringe benefits, and total personnel costs for the project.
Non-Personnel (30-40% of the total budget)
Non-Personnel costs include:
Equipment: an estimate of expensive purchases that are considered assets (for example, examination equipment and video magnifiers)
Supplies: an estimate of the less-expensive items that are needed on a daily basis for your grant project (primarily office supplies)
Travel: mileage, tolls, airline tickets, train tickets, bus fare, subway fare, room and board, registration fees, tuition.
Explanations should be offered concerning expensive travel costs as well as justification for these costs (for example, a reason for attending an international conference would be for project dissemination).
Sample Non-Personnel Costs
Equipment ($100,000): Essential optometric equipment and low vision devices will be needed to have a viable low vision service. In addition a computer system and filing system will be important. See cost breakdowns on lists in Appendix B.
Supplies ($1,000) include computer supplies of ink, paper, and disks as well as general office supplies such as paper, pads, pens, file folders, labels, calendars, etc.
Web site development ($1,000) includes consultant costs to assist in the design and search engine linkages for a clinic web site.
Copying and printing ($500) include brochures and other marketing materials.
Postage ($500) for correspondence and mass mailings to the community.
Telephone ($600) includes communication with patients, referral sources, and the community.
What will your Direct Costs be for your XYZ project?
Indirect Costs (8-10% of funds to be awarded)
Indirect costs refer to overhead such as mortgage or rent, electricity, water, maintenance and security of the building.
There are several ways to calculate indirect costs for a grant budget:
% of salaries and wages only
% of total personnel costs
% of personnel + non-personnel costs (total direct costs)
Or, the funding source will identify a specific percentage for you to adhere to (which is what we will do for this course–we will use 10% as our indirect rate).
In Chapter 14, determine how Koch differentiates between direct and indirect costs, and how Koch calculates indirect costs? Now review the tables on page 213 (under the section labeled “Format”). Note which line items are considered direct.
Be sure to follow funder guidelines regarding the calculation of indirect costs. Some funders do not even fund operating costs, in which case you could report the indirect costs as a part of ‘Support and Revenue’ as your organization would be ‘ contributing’ or ‘donating’ these costs.
Support and Revenue
This includes any costs that you will not be asking the funder to fund as well as what you are bringing to the table already.
Matching Funds
The organization requesting the funds is often expected to contribute to the proposed project. Usually the percentage of contribution is 10% or more of the total costs required to achieve project objectives.
In the budget chart you can have columns showing ‘Requested’ and ‘ Contributed’ or ‘Donated’ to illustrate the parts making up the 10% contribution.
In-kind Donations
These include any tangible items that your organization is donating to the grant project, such as equipment, personnel, facility space, etc.
Future Funding
If you are requesting seed money to begin or expand a project, often grantors want to know how you will maintain the program after the grant ends.
Fees for services
Profit on sale of devices
Third party reimbursements for services
Expanded fundraising activities
Use of non-recurring grants for one-time only purchases
Sample Future Funding Statement
“To reduce the need for additional funding in the future, the project staff will work to assure a steady cash flow from patient services and low vision devices. State rehabilitation agencies and insurance companies will assist in payments. Separate funding is being sought to assist patients who are unable to pay so that no one in need will be turned away.”

complete a journal entry relating to self-awareness and its importance in nursing.
Stage in the Driscoll Cycle of Reflection Observation
WHAT?
Our task this week was to complete a journal entry relating to self-awareness and its importance in nursing.
The first paragraph describes the circumstances of the activity/experience.
In other words, it addresses the “WHAT” portion of the Driscoll model. The writer uses descriptive vocabulary and does not attempt to analyse or interpret the task. For example, the student writes “Our task this week was to complete a journal entry relating to this week’s topic of self-awareness and its importance in nursing.” There is no attempt to explain this activity or analyse its significance.
Note, the “WHAT” section of the assignment represents the most basic form of reflection and serves only as a detailed recounting of an event There is limited reflective value in this paragraph other than its ability to record the details of what has happened. However, a complete description is still essential in order to situate the paragraphs that follow. In other words, it is not possible to describe the impact of the activity or experience without first articulating in detail what they were.
SO WHAT?
Before the session thought I would be the only one unsure of the topic and its relevance to nursing> I was surprised to learn others appeared to feel the same. I realised I could develop a better understanding of myself by exploring my values and beliefs. Up to now, I had not really considered what makes me, ‘Me’.
I feel I am just starting to understand that in becoming self-aware, I can learn to recognise my strengths and limitations, understand my emotions and appreciate the impact my behaviour might have on the therapeutic nurse-patient relationship, as suggested by Reference (date).
The second paragraph provides the “SO WHAT” in Driscoll’s model of Reflective Practice.
It attempts to interpret or evaluate the description in the first paragraph. For example, in the first paragraph the writer notes that the “task this week was to complete a journal entry relating to self-awareness and its importance in nursing.” In the second paragraph, the writer attempts to place the experience into a more meaningful context by stating that they “hadn’t really understood how my values and beliefs might influence patient care.”
By connecting the described experience with these thoughts, the writer considers the SO WHAT. For example, the writer not only describes the experience as not being aware, but goes on to explore self -awareness in the context of nursing and provides evidence to support that claim: “I feel I am only just starting to understand that in becoming self-aware, I will learn to recognise my strengths and limitations, understand my emotions and appreciate the impact my behaviour might have on the therapeutic nurse-patient relationship, as suggested by Reference (date).”
NOW WHAT?
The session encouraged me to be more open-minded about myself. I hope that by examining my values and beliefs I will learn to identify any unconscious bias that has the potential to impact on my delivery of high-quality person-centred care which, reference (date) states is fundamental to meeting the needs of individual patients.
Appreciating and acknowledging differences will help me in developing my professional knowledge, skills and attitude in line with the Nursing and Midwifery code (NMC, 2018).
In this last paragraph, the author has attempted to apply this activity or experience to a future learning opportunity and so has completed the “NOW WHAT” part of Driscoll’s model.
The evidence suggests that the student is becoming more aware of the relevance of the topic “The session encouraged me to be more open-minded about myself. I am hopeful that by examining my values and beliefs I will learn to identify any unconscious bias that has the potential to impact on my delivery of high-quality person-centred care which reference (date) states is fundamental to meeting the needs of individual patients.
Here the student is reflecting back what is they were thinking about & applying supporting evidence.
In this section the student writes that “Appreciating and acknowledging differences will help me in developing my professional knowledge, skills and attitude in line with the Nursing and Midwifery code (NMC, 2018).
This is a good example of how to link the present experience to a future context in which the student attempts to apply learning to something new.

Essay question
There is nothing wrong with the current liberal (corporate) model of the media (e.g. as seen in the UK and US) – discuss.
Main ideas.
Most of the media in UK and US are owned by large corporations, that push certain narratives that correspond with their political agenda. In my opinion this is a problem because as a result of that people see the distorted reality. Media should not be connected with politics. However corporate media model is a profit-making organization and being involved in politics makes profits skyrocket. Media that support certain parties are becoming less objective and reliable. Thus, corporate media doesn’t benefit society in any way, only brings propaganda, hidden behind large media sources no one wants to question.
Herman- Chomsky created so called propaganda model , that argues that when the corporate media is owned by the ones on power and serves as propaganda, which they can benefit from
Useful cases of corporate media propaganda
https://www.globalissues.org/article/162/some-examples – some examples can be used from here, especially environmental one and the one about military industrial complex. ( because I fell like they are the most influential on the worldwide and national scale)
Murdoch’s newspaper sun and its influence on UK elections. (Candidates who appeal to Mr. Murdoch win, candidates that don’t-don’t. He, as an owner of a very popular newspaper has power to form the perception of the reality of the readers)
Those are my suggestions that I hope will make your work easier ))
