This document summarizes a study on the effect of Alccofine powder on the properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC). Six different SCC mixes were tested: a control mix without Alccofine and mixes with 5%, 10%, and 15% Alccofine content. Test results showed that SCC mixes with 10% Alccofine exhibited superior fresh and hardened properties compared to mixes with lower or higher Alccofine content. Specifically, the 10% Alccofine mix displayed higher compressive strength, flowability, passing ability, and resistance to segregation. The study concluded that addition of an optimized amount of Alccofine, in this case 10%, can improve the self-compatibility

This document describes an algorithm for automating the process of human emotion detection from digital images. The algorithm has two main parts: database generation and emotion detection. For database generation, faces are detected from images using skin segmentation and color thresholds. Lips are then detected and cropped from faces to generate templates for different emotions, which are stored in a database. For emotion detection, lips are detected and cropped from a new input image and compared to the templates using cross-correlation to identify the best match and recognize the emotion. The algorithm provides a simple and fast way to detect emotions from images by analyzing lips, compared to other methods using speech recognition or brain activity analysis.

This document proposes a new Password Guessing Resistant Protocol (PGRP) to improve the security of password-based authentication against large-scale online attacks while maintaining usability for legitimate users. PGRP limits automated bots to 3 login attempts per username before requiring an Automated Turing Test (ATT), while allowing legitimate users logging in from known devices up to 30 failed attempts without an ATT. PGRP tracks user devices and login patterns to distinguish human and bot behavior. The protocol was tested in several scenarios and was found to effectively prevent password guessing while providing a better user experience compared to existing ATT-based methods.

----------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT------------------------------------------------------------
The need for ease of files retrieval by the hospital record office is the epicenter for this study. It was
discovered that the current file retrieval system was not conducive for effective office productivity. Hence the
need to redesign a file that is both convenient, in term of retrieval and at the same time saves time. This will
help to control how patient’s data are stored and retrieved.This work evaluated the filing system of a village
medical center. For this purpose, the work-study approach was employed to evaluate the file retrieval system
in the office. The productivity index for the old system of filing was obtained at 0.290 and the new filing
system was calculated as 0.528, which shows a 49.3% increment when compared to the old filing system.After
a careful evaluation of the new filing system, we concluded that the ease of retrieving the newly developed
files is more preferable in terms of time reduction and accessibility. The time obtained in retrieving old files
from the cabinet is much when compared to that of the newly developed files. Therefore the workers were
adjudged to be more productive when searching and retrieving files from the cabinet when using this new
system of filing.

I. INTRODUCTION
Though there is gradual move towards a paperless office due to the increasing use of internet and ICT
platforms. However paper documents and files based-information management culture still dominates many
local hospitals especially in the developing countries. There is a flurry of medical data about the patients
coming to the hospital for consultation. It is now pertinent to be able to lay hands on the information we need
at the right moment. Most times, the hospital record office wastes own time and often the time of their patients
searching for files in the office cabinet. This adds to the stress experience during consultation with the medical
personnel and makes the task of putting the data to use more difficult and prolonged than it ought to be.
Hence, to get our work done in a timely manner, there is a need to get more organized and efficient with our
file management system. This prompted the redesign of a new file that is more effective and productive in
terms of time and ease of retrieval. A higher productivity therefore entails doing the work within a shortest
possible time with least inputs expenditure while not sacrificing quality with minimal wastage of resources
(Dorgan, 1994). Extensive research concerning the effect of an unfavourable workplace environment on
employee productivity has been undertaken worldwide. Majority of the research found that there were several
elements known to contribute both positively and negatively to productivity. Some researchers discovered that
these elements affected both the psychological and physiological welfare of the workers causing such
conditions as eyestrain, fatigue, headache,
back pain and nausea (Quible, 1996). It is important to solve these problems, otherwise it will place the
organization in a bad situation as many people in the office may become sick and there may be delay in
completion time. An administrative office manager should therefore be able to organize the workplace based
on an ergonomically sound office environment (Berverly, 1994).Record creation results directly from daily
transaction of businesses or activities. In most cases the way in which people and organizations do business
results naturally in the creation of records; in other words, records must be deliberately created before
2. Evaluation And Re-Designing Of A File…
www.theijes.com The IJES Page 29
conducting any form of transaction or activity. Records that will meet accountability requirements and other
needs of an organization cannot be created or managed without an adequate filing system. Filing management
practices, and in particular records creation, must be systematized through policies, procedures and the
application of best practice (Keeling, 1996). Appropriate controls should be built into filing systems to capture
and identify accurately information required by an organization or individual. All these can be achieved by
creating an effective filing system that will ease the stress and save the time of the user.
1.1 FILE AND FILING SYSTEM
Records are held in files to enhance accessibility and identification; files therefore are created and
included in a filing system to provide formal evidence of record keeping of an organization. Their purpose is to
capture and maintain records over time in accordance with accountability and standard practice. The
establishment of a coherent filing system provides for faster and systematic filing, faster retrieval of
information, greater protection of information, and increased administrative stability, continuity and efficiency
(Carnevale,1992).The systematic arrangement of files in which files are named and placed logically for storage
and retrieval is referred to as filing system. It is a system of classifying in which files are arranged either
alphabetically or numerically. It is used to control how information are stored and retrieved. Without a filing
system, information placed in a storage area would be one large body of data with no way to tell where one
piece of information stops and the next begins. However, by separating the data into individual pieces and
giving each piece a name, the information is easily separated and identified.
1.1.1 FILE TAGGING AND COLOUR CODING
A file tag is a piece of strong paper attached to a file at one end as a label or indicator bearing the
details of the file. It aids finding and replacing files easily by the users whereas the colour coding uses an array
of colours to distinguish files from one another. It makes record easy and fast to find and eliminate misfiling
and record duplication. It is a natural development to accompany shelf filing because the ends of the folders are
readily visible and therefore results in the formation of a colour block pattern. When these patterns of colour
are broken, it is easy to see that a misfile has occurred. Colour coding of files almost eliminates hidden
misfiles, confirms accuracy in filing, offers fast filing and retrieval, works with any filing sequence, allows
rapid presorting by colour recognition, guides users to within an inch or two of records being sought before
even touching cabinets or records, and substantially speeds important file management
functions(Keeling,1996).
1.1.2 FILE ARRANGEMENT
There are three commonly utilized types of filing arrangements which are designed to file and
reference records in different ways. These are; alphabetical, numeric, and alpha-numeric filing arrangements.
Each has advantages for certain types of records and reference needs and each possesses distinct patterns of
arrangement and indexing. Once the proper arrangement has been selected, it is suggested that file procedures
manual be established. The file manual is used by everyone working with the files and it maintains the
integrity of the filing system.
III RESEARCH METHODS
The productivity of an office filling system can be consistently increased through the application of
work study and this is the main focus of this project. Work study is a collection of techniques used to examine
work, what is done and how it is done, so that there is a systematic analysis of all the elements, factors,
resources and relationships affecting the efficiency and effectiveness of the work been studied. The component
of work study shown in Fig.3.

Figure 3:Component of Work Study
3.1 TIME STUDY: A TOOL FOR PRODUCTIVITY
Time study is defined as the assessment of the time a job should take to be done. It can also be defined
as a term covering the collection of methods used to establish the time required by a qualified worker to carry
out a specific job at a defined level.
Fundamental approach of time study which consists of the following seven steps were used to estimate the time
taken to complete the task for the current method:
[1] Information about the present filing system were obtained and recorded
[2] Each activity was broken down into elements
[3] Each element was examined so as to know whether it is appropriately used in doing work.
[4] The time that was required to complete the task by a qualified worker were observed and recorded with the
aid of a stopwatch.
[5] The basic time for each activity were gotten through the following formula
a. Basic time =
[6] vi. Relaxation Allowance + Contingency time was assumed to be 9% of basic time
[7] The standard time for each operation were computed as:
Standard time = Basic time + Relaxation time allowance + Contingency time
To measure available work in terms of time units, three types of time measures have to be known:
observed time, basic time and standard time. The normal time is the time a qualified worker spent on
retrieving files, while basic time is the product of normalized speed and the observed time. The standard time
was the basic time the qualified worker takes to complete the file retrieving plus the associated relaxation time.
For the purpose of this study, time study was carried out for a period of 14 days to be able to determine the time
taken in retrieving a single file from a stack of files for both the old and newly develop system of filing.
Observed time x …………………………………………………………1
Standard time =Basic time + (Relaxation time allowance + Contingency time allowance)……….2
Relaxation allowance may be determined scientifically when observed time and performance rating are being
recorded, depending on the nature of the work. Other factors which contribute to time allowance include
posture at work, type of motion of the body, eye or visual strain and thermal conditions. There is also the
contingency time allowance due to unanticipated official disturbance to one at work. The value can be
determined as a matter of policy in an establishment.. It requires long periods of observations of task being

performed. The total resting time the worker used during this period of work may be expressed as a proportion
of the total observation period (Owaba, 2002).
3.2 MODEL ASSUMPTIONS AND NOTATIONS
The assumptions for this work are:
[1] Relaxation allowance + contingency time = 9% of basic time
[2] Relaxation allowance has different values for both male and female workers (Currie,1959)
[3] Performance rating of female worker is assumed to be 95% and that of male worker is 115%
[4] Normal Rating = 100%

3.3 DESIGN AND ANALYSIS TOOLS
Two Computer aided design tools, Solid Works and AutoCAD were used to design possible files. The
AutoCAD is a software application for engineering designs from Autodesk while Solid works is 3D computer-
aided design software.
Others tools: Stop watch for time study, meter rule for linear measurement.
3.4 DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS OF FILES DIMENSION
Two cases or file items were considered for designs. The ideas revolve around the following
[1] Modifying existing files to become ergonomically more friendly: Since it is obvious costly and delicate
to discard all existing files in the archives and replace with new ones, we therefore adopt the idea of
converting the old ones to ergonomically one. This conversion will be by use of appropriately designed tag
system.
[2] New Files. We are proposing that new files and other record file system should adopt proposed new
design.
The dimensions for the files are as follows:

IV ANALYSIS AND RESULTS
A stack of 499 files were observed during this period, and the time taken to retrieve each file recorded for both
the old and the newly re-designed files. This was done with the aid of a stop watch. The newly developed files was
arranged accordingly in a designated cabinets and tags placed on each of the files, for ease of identification and
retrieval. The time taken in retrieving each of the 499 files were noted and recorded. The estimated time were later
used to calculate the productivity index which is a function of the performance measure of the two files. The results
were obtained using Microsoft Excel®, as shown in Table 4.0 and 4.1

4.1 DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
From table 4.0 the estimated time was obtained over the performance rating of the qualified workers.
From the results obtained, the total time spent on retrieving the old files was estimated as 1497mins (24hrs
8. Evaluation And Re-Designing Of A File…

95mins) while the total standard time was estimated as 176.58mins (29hrs 48mins) with an average value of
126.327mins (2hrs 11mins).The overall productivity index for the old filling system was estimated as 0.290.
Similarly Table 4.1 shows the result for the newly developed filing system with an average observed time of
1.5mins over a range of 14days of observation. . From the result of 499 files observed, the total time spent on
retrieving the newly developed files was estimated as 748.5mins (12hrs 45mins) while the total standard time
was estimated as 884.29mins (15hrs 13mins) with an average value of 63.164mins (1hr 1mins) recorded.
Hence the productivity index of this new filing system was calculated as 0.572, which shows a 49.3%
increment when compared to the old filing system.
V. CONCLUSION
After a careful evaluation of the new filing system, we can conclude that the ease of retrieving the
newly developed files is more preferable in terms of time reduction and accessibility. The time obtained in
retrieving old files from the cabinet is much when compared to that of the newly developed files. Hence the
productivity index of this new filing system was calculated as 0.528, which shows a 49.3% increment when
compared to the old filing system.Therefore the workers were adjudged to be more productive when searching
and retrieving files from a cabinet using this new system of filing.
