“…This is because the scientometric analysis is objective: It relies on the analysis of large data and it is rigorous in nature. This approach has been adopted in different studies to achieve similar objectives, including in the field of sustainability of megaprojects [26], robotics and automation research [27]), ontology research in construction [28], IT application in construction and demolition waste management [29], and in some BIM-related studies. These include (but are not limited to) [30] (who applied it in the study of 276 articles related to BIM application in Construction Engineering and management sourced from Scopus), [31] (who applied this approach in the mapping of managerial areas of BIM through the analysis of 126 publications published between 2007 and 2015), and [23] (who applied it in the study of BIM research trends in Africa).…”

Building information modelling (BIM) has become a common denominator for information management, efficiency, collaboration, and productivity in the construction industry. The adoption of building information modelling has been assessed to be unequal in the construction industry the world over. It has been observed that developing countries are struggling with BIM adoption and are at a beginner stage in the process. Meanwhile, there have been different research efforts focused on advancing BIM diffusion in developing countries. This study focused on reviewing the research trend and knowledge domains of BIM research in developing countries. The study analysed scholarly publications from selected developing countries sourced from the Scopus database from 2005 to 2019; the study covered BIM research efforts since their commencement in developing countries. The study identified the different research trends and the current focus through visualisations using VOS viewer software. The most influential and productive researchers were also identified. This research contributes to the extant body of knowledge by synthesizing the state of the art of BIM research in developing countries. Furthermore, it provides the pre-COVID-19 BIM diffusion status in developing countries.

“…In this way, following modern studies [6,7,8,9] systematic environmental management including waste management is required. This is especially true given that there are an accumulation of waste in both the industrial and domestic sectors, which has a negative impact on the environment and human health; improper disposal and removal of hazardous waste; disposal of household waste without taking into account possible dangerous consequences; inadequate level of waste use as a secondary raw material due to imperfect organizational and economic principles of their involvement in production; inefficiency of implemented economic instruments in the field of waste management in Ukraine.…”

Environmental management emerged as a consequence of an unprecedented strain on the Earth by humans. Each our activity leaves a trail, such as pollutions of air and soil, contamination of water, deforestation, and also tons of wastes. We are confronting environmental problems that are more taxing than ever before. Now we have everyday changes of the climate which is why there is an urgent need to find ways of life that is less damaging to the Earth. Waste management is a particular specialization of the environmental management which studies how to achieve a zero-waste life. The difference between the situation with waste in Ukraine compared to other developed countries is the large volume of waste generation and the lack of infrastructure for waste management. At the same time, the availability of such infrastructure is an essential feature of all economies of developed countries. Also, it is showed to increase of the amount of illegal and uncontrolled landfills and to degrade of the condition of existing dumps. This paper is aimed to explain how the Ukrainian government could educate people about problems of wastes and encourage us to change our habits.

“…The use of incident reporting applications instead of paper reports plays an important role in both real-time reporting and the ability to assess the consistency of reporting. Hence, modified work processes reduce time wastage [11], [12], [13].…”

BACKGROUND: Ambulance inspections make up part of the emergency medical services (EMS) to keep operations running smoothly as well as to maximize and maintain the safety of vehicles used for delivery of both staff and patients. The EMS of Srinagarind Hospital has been using an ambulance inspection report application since January 2020. Nevertheless, there has been no comparative study of the benefits associated with the use of this specification. AIM: The aim of this study was to compare the advantages of an ambulance inspection report application and paper checklist. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted amid the EMS at a university hospital in Thailand. Data gathering was carried out by employing the Srinagarind Hospital database and ambulance inspection report application throughout January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2020. RESULTS: A total of 2350 ambulance inspections were recorded during the 2-year study period. Recognition times for ambulance inspections incorporating paper checklist and inspection with application were 35.5 ± 9.4 min and 1.02 ± 0.5 min, respectively (P < 0.001). Action times were 25.2 ± 5.1 min and 1.04 ± 0.2 min, respectively. Ambulance inspection compliance rate with the application was 95.3% and 70.1% with a paper checklist. CONCLUSION: Ambulance inspections carried out with an application can reduce recognition and action time, and increase ambulance inspection compliance rate.
