“…Cost control frameworks have corrective measures activity. Corrective measures are well conducted by identifying the causes of the variances of the various work activities or resources such as materials, labor, plant and equipment, and profit and overheads [15]. [16], adopted an asset management perspective on the issue of contract cost control in public-private partnership contracts and aimed to add to the understanding of asset network-level effects of important contractual parameters such as contract duration and cost control trade-off.…”

The earned value management is a leading technique in monitoring and analyzing project performance and project progress. The main objectives of this paper are 1) Identify and prioritize the main problems for lack of techniques which cause poor management of cost control with poor site organization and inadequate supervision. 2) Demonstrate the modified Activity Based Costing system as the best choices for cost accounting approach for determining construction project accurate cost. To fill the gap of limited research for studying factors inhibiting the ability of contractors to effectively control their projects, a survey was conducted on 22 construction project organizations. It was noted that most project managers and contractors in Egypt find difficulty in controlling project costs due to problems that include Change order, Changes in the design, Errors in the design, current economic situation deterioration, Delay project and Rising prices of materials. To improve capital project cost schedule and predictability using a project control system for monitoring and predicting the

Injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most common knee ligament injuries. The ACL injury is a sprain or tear of the anterior ligament (ACL). Effective exercises will reduce the risk of ACL injury. An ACL injury in athletes is a higher incidence than other general public, such as soccer, basketball, hockey, etc. The aim of this studywas to compare the effectiveness, recovery rate and variance in both knee-affected and non-affected muscle girth readings in supervised v/s unsupervised patient groups after the patient underwent ACL reconstruction surgery. The participants were divided into two groups(A-Supervised and B-Unsupervised) through a random sampling. The supervised exercise in group A performed according to the WILK protocol at RML hospital and un-superviseed group B performed the same WILK protocol at home. The ultrasound scans were performed after 2-4 weeks and 12-14 weeks post operation to measure the muscle girth in both the groups. The study findings indicated the significant difference in recovery rate as well as the difference in between supervisedv/s unsupervised groups i.e. the difference of affected and unaffected knees based on ultrasound imaging was higher in un-supervised group compared to supervised group (a difference of 2.3 mm in post-operation muscle girth after 12-14 weeks). The ultrasound reading of the muscle girth after 2-4 weeks post-operation showed a decline in the recovery of the muscle girth in both the groups (9% and 8% for supervised and un-supervised groups respectively). This reduction in the muscle girth value as compared to the pre-operative values was due to arthroscopic effect, which showed there was a transient deactivation of the muscle take place due to surgery. The ultrasound reading of the muscle girth after 12-14 weeks post-operation showed a different progressive recovery of the muscle girth in both the groups as 31% and 10% for supervised and un-supervised groups respectively .We concluded that supervised exercises was better than unsupervised exercises for the early recovery after ACL recontraction.

Anterior crucial ligament (ACL) injury is one of the most common ligament injuries in the knee. The ACL injury is the anterior ligament tear or sprain (ACL). The objective of this paper is to compare the effectiveness, recovery rate and the variance in the affected and non-affected limbs muscle strength/ activation potential readings of both knees in supervised v/s unsupervised groups of patients after undergone ACL reconstruction surgery at RML Hospital Delhi. The participants were divided into two groups (A-Supervised, and B-Unsupervised) through random sampling. The supervised exercise in group a performed according to the WILK protocol at RML hospital, and un-supervised group B performed the same WILK protocol at home. The method adopted for this study is to compare both Pre-operative and Post-Operative quadriceps(vastus medialis and vastus latralis) EMG readings of the respondents has been recorded using NEURON SPECTRUM 5 using NEUROSOFT Neuro-MEP.NET software at RML Hospital Delhi. The study findings indicated the significant difference in recovery rate as well as the difference in between supervised v/s unsupervised groups i.e. The average pre-operative-VM values of EMG-affected for supervised was 97.1µV, and for unsupervised was 94.2µV and the average post-operative-VM values of EMG for supervised was 130.1µV (36% variance), and for unsupervised was 95.2 µV (1% variance). The average pre-operative-VM values of EMG-normal for supervised was 135.8 µV, and for unsupervised was 139 µV and the average post-operative-VM values of EMG for supervised was 135.1 µV (-7% variance), and for unsupervised was 135.7 µV (-6% variance).
