Dear ResearchGate'rs,
I am looking for a journal which indexed, high response and fast publication in the field of "Facility Management & Management Systems" in Healthcare.
I have three drafts on:
  • Development of a diagnostic tool for Facility Management System in the health sector.
  • Case study of the diagnosis of a Facility Management System in a Colombian hospital.
  • Development of a hospital infrastructure management model based on Facility Management System harmonized with Colombian and international health quality standards.
Kindly, share your experience and recommendations.
Thank you and greetings.

Answer
Sobur Setiaman, I had already taken into account several of the options that you have indicated to me, however, it is difficult for many of these journals to have a scope aligned with our research.

In design and construction, there are many factors that can influence the occurrence of technical risk, which, as a consequence, affects the duration, quality and cost.
Technical risk is risk due to technical factors.
Example:
1. Low qualification of a specialist leads to low quality of project documentation.
2. Lack of BIM department.
3. Location of the facility (remoteness from the main manufacturing plants, difficulty in transporting equipment, etc.)
4.Use of new technologies, etc.

Answer
For design and construction of a building. I recommend you the work on the risks existing in the interactions Human - Means, Human - Methods and Human - Work Environment. These are the risks due to ergonomic hazards (Ergonomic Factors). Good luck.

Hello! I would like to ask about (what papers required to be involved to apply value management on my project if I went to official institutions.. I may guess BOQ, Bills, drawning? what else.. Thanks!
Relevant answer
Answer
Thank you, as i mentioned before its for my graduation, I'm training at project of school which still under construction & I thought it might be as "throwing one stone onto two birds" , training and tracking the development of the construction which will enrich my experience ( My graduation project is the same project I trained) which I think this help in evaluating and estimation of the costs and pricing!
- I did it, I downloaded all the sci-papers (publications) that are on google scholar & researchgate as will.
Thank you so much, your replies mean a lot!

Question

I am trying to optimize a function that is non-linear in parameters, three in number. I am using Genetic Algorithms (GA) for this purpose. Thus, I have a function of time that is non-linear in three parameters as time-series data. I am using the ga() function of the GA package in R language for the purpose. However, as I see, the initial values that I set for the parameters heavily influences the parameters computed by the ga() function. I also read the following article:
Scrucca, L. (2013). GA: a package for genetic algorithms in R. Journal of Statistical Software, 53(4), 1-37.
In section 4.4 Curve Fitting, if I use the following initial values (min, max): a(1000, 10,000), b(0,10), and c(0.5, 10) instead of the ones used, that is a(3000, 4000), b(0, 1) and c(2, 4) I get completely different results from the ones obtained by the paper. I get a=2772, b=.0235, c=4.07 as against a= 3534.741, b=0.01575454, c= 2.800797 in the paper.
My understanding is that global optimization techniques such as GA would be able to find out global optima irrespective of initial values although it might take more or less iterations depending on the initial values of parameters. Why is this not happening in case of my function and also the example that I cited?
Thanking you all in advance.
Relevant answer
Answer
There is no guarantee to obtain a global optimal solution with any metaheuristic, unless you make near infinite iterations. Also, because GAs are random, the solution obtained may be different in any moment. If you can use another method to obtain a good approximation to the optimal solution, GA will improve it.

How can I consider the intermodal exchange in the LCA? Are there any studies about it? Thanks!
Relevant answer
Answer
I am working with LCA of waste management using the ORWARE model. In the model there are transport submodels for collection vehicles, ordinary trucks, truck and trailer and truck and trailer for pumpable loads. Input parameters in the model are transport distance (from A to B, collection also needs some data on number of stops, distance between stops, time for hauling etc), and a choice whether the truck is empty on return or not. Fuel consumption for an empty truck as well as for a full is specified in the model as well as max load and normal load. Using these data the model calulates the fuel consumption assuming a linear function between empty and full truck and considering the double distance if empty on return. Emission factors are defined per MJ diesel oil used. I dont know if you are using a specific software but the calculation in ORWARE for transport can easily be facilitated in Excel. Please Contact me if you want more advice on this one.
