Rimini, Simone <1986>. "Farming and processing stategies for improving poultry meat quality." Doctoral thesis, Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna, 2014. http://amsdottorato.unibo.it/6302/.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the PhD research was the identification of new strategies of farming and processing, with the aim to improve the nutritional and technological characteristics of poultry meat. Part of the PhD research was focused on evaluation of alternative farming systems, with the aim to increase animal welfare and to improve the meat quality and sensorial characteristics in broiler chickens. It was also assessed the use of innovative ingredients for marination of poultry meat (sodium bicarbonate and natural antioxidants)
The research was developed by studying the following aspects:
- Meat quality characteristics, oxidative stability and sensorial traits of chicken meat obtained from two different farming systems: free range vs conventional;
- Meat quality traits of frozen chicken breast pre-salted using increasing concentrations of sodium chloride;
- Use of sodium bicarbonate in comparison with sodium trypolyphosphate for marination of broiler breast meat and phase;
- Marination with thyme and orange essential oils mixture to improve chicken meat quality traits, susceptibility to lipid oxidation and sensory traits.
The following meat quality traits analyseswere performed:
Colour, pH, water holding capacity by conventional (gravimetric methods, pressure application, centrifugation and cooking) and innovative methods (low-field NMR and DSC analysis) ability to absorb marinade soloutions, texture (shear force using different probes and texture profile analysis), proximate analysis (moisture, proteins, lipids, ash content, collagen, fatty acid), susceptibility to lipid oxidation (determinations of reactive substances with thiobarbituric acid and peroxide value), sensorial analysis (triangle test and consumer test).

Tarmizi, Azmil Haizam Ahmad. "Deep-fat frying : novel stategies for lowering oil uptake and minimising oil quality deterioration." Thesis, University of Reading, 2012. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.577978.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis represents a study on the application of vacuum during post-frying stage with the aim of lowering oil content in fried food. Using potato chips as an illustrative product, several protocols were initially screened, either towards the end of frying or after frying. Lowering the pressure when the product was removed from the oil resulted in a significant reduction in oil uptake. Applying vacuum triggered a continuous water vapour release from the product as a result of lower water saturation temperature, and this prevented the surface oil from penetrating into the product structure. The image generated by con focal laser scanning microscopy showed a visible boundary between the core and the crust regions, and the oil distribution was only concentrated in the crust with insignificant trace of oil in the core region. Despite the amount of oil being absorbed into fried food, the ability of oil to withstand high temperatures at the extended frying period must also be taken into consideration. Interestingly, vacuum drainage significantly inhibited the free fatty acid formation while the total oxidation value was slightly lowered, which in turn showed minimal reductions in the total colour difference value, viscosity and polar compounds. We also explored the possibility of combining moderate vacuum frying with high vacuum drainage to lower the oil uptake in fried food. As expected, high vacuum drainage significantly lowered the amount of oil taken by the potato chips, regardless to the vacuum frying conditions applied. It was also noted that the head space temperature also plays a significant role in the continuous release of water vapour from the product, aside from the product temperature. An attempt to develop fat free product was accomplished when sorbitol was used to substitute oil as frying medium. In sorbitol fried French fries, a crust was formed, similarly to oil fried product and the colour and texture developments were comparable

Full textAbstract:
This research project has explored the issues surrounding East Gippsland Institute of TAFE's (EGTAFE) inability to expand the training in Hospitality and Tourism (H&T). EGTAFE is a small regional public provider of training covering a large area in regional Victoria and it has a pivotal role in the provision of knowledge and skills to assist Gippsland's transition to an innovative economy (www.egtafe.vic.edu.au/corporate/corporate). During this project discussions were held with a variety of stakeholders, namely local business owner/operators in the H&T Industry, researching issues such as industry skills requirements and also employers perception of EGTAFE. Action Research was employed as the methodology of this research project, as the cyclical process of planning, acting, observing and reflecting has facilitated the understanding and development of improvements to practices across the Hospitality and Service Industries (H&SI) team. Interviews, questionnaires and workshops were all part of the data collection method. As a result of this research project the main outcomes that have emerged are 1) a better understanding of the needs of employers and employees; and 2) the development of a strong collaborative partnership with employers. Due to the connections with industry that were made because of this research project, the H&SI team is now in a position not only to deliver industry skills requirements, but also to be a partner in the process.

Snyman, Dion Cedric. "An exploration of market growth and development stategies for franchising a selected fast food outlet." Thesis, Port Elizabeth Technikon, 2003. http://hdl.handle.net/10948/128.
Full textAbstract:
The advent of globalisation and the re-admittance of South Africa into the international market place have presented both opportunities and threats to local fast food outlets and franchises. These food outlets are faced with foreign competition and the need to adapt their strategies in order to cope with the continued onslaught of these highly efficient, foreign, service orientated organisations if they intend to survive. This research explored the strategies these fast food outlets should utilise to deal with their competition and to facilitate their market growth and organisational development which could lead to them being successfully franchised at a later stage. The study revealed that if any significant growth and organisational development was to be expected, the fast food outlet had to concentrate on customer satisfaction and retention through the innovative use of the 7P’s of the marketing mix in its strategy formulation process. Attention also needed to be given to the competitive forces in the external environment so that competitive strategies were in line with market developments. The triangulation method was applied in this study. In terms of this method, qualitative and quantitative research techniques are combined in order to improve the reliability and validity of the research findings. This method proved to be an effective research tool as the findings in the quantitative research were verified by the findings in the qualitative research. Franchising in South Africa, especially the Eastern Cape, where unemployment is highest, is important as it has the potential for job creation and economic empowerment of the disadvantaged communities. It is therefore essential that every endeavour be made to ensure the success of the emerging entrepreneurs through assisting them to develop strategies that will ensure sustainable development and growth.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis addresses the topic of risk communication effectiveness on a national level in Norway regarding a future pandemic. The consequences of a pandemic influenza will depend partly upon the risk communication strategy effectiveness. Within risk psychology research, such a strategy should fully consider how general and situational factors may influence public perceptions of the pandemic risk, and how public perceptions affect risk communication efficiency and, consequently, the behavior of recipients towards the pandemic. If ignored, communication gaps could result in overall greater consequences for the general public and/or unequal protection for vulnerable risk groups during a future pandemic. The overall aim of the thesis is therefore to help enhance risk communication efficiency, and thereby risk management. To address this area of research the thesis summarizes scientific research on risk perception and risk communication, and reviews experiences from prior situations and cases. The central interest of the thesis has been how public perceptions of a pandemic risk relate to risk communication efficiency and communication strategy. Scientific communication models used to address public perceptions, which may limit or hinder correct health behavior, are presented and their use in potential future pandemic settings are discussed. The thesis argues that risk communication efficiency will be strengthened by use of scientific models of communication. In this context especially models on information processing (i.e. ELM), approaches eliciting mental contents (i.e. mental models), and practical work with communication of risk (i.e. RISCOM). Predictions of future pandemics are extremely hard to make. To cover various possibilities within a future pandemic this thesis discusses risk communication challenges in situations with different combinations of possibility and consequences (severity of the virus). The idea is that different situations demand different amount of, and different approaches to, the management of risk. Lastly, an effective risk communication strategy does not stop when the pandemic risk officially subsides. It is recommended that communicators learn from the "rights and wrongs" encountered in the latest pandemic and thus ensure public trust in risk communication for the next health risk.

Full textAbstract:
PhDSelf-regulation is a vital function to humanity, and is an important factor in the dominant paradigm of consumer research, whereby consumer decisions are characterised by the battle between long- and short-term interests. The current research examined the relative effectiveness of two self-regulatory strategies: stopping an already-commenced consumption episode, or to not commence one at all. Traditional economic theories, including the principle of diminishing marginal utility, would predict that not starting is harder to accomplish; whereas a proposal by Thaler (1983) suggests that not starting is in fact the optimal strategy. Two studies were conducted whereby participants were asked to either perform a less-favoured task and resist from starting a more-favoured one (Not Start), or to cease performing a more-favoured task to complete the less-favoured task (Stop). Study 1 found that Stop was more difficult than Not Start, which tentatively supported Thaler’s argument; however there was an explanation which could not be ruled out, namely the psychological distance of the anticipated second task. Study 2 addressed this issue by manipulating that factor by incorporating it into the experimental design. It was found that Not Start became as depleting as Stop when psychological distance of the second task was reduced. This research contributed to the literature by establishing a boundary condition upon the strength model of self-regulatory resource depletion, and adds to the discussion on the descriptive validity of the principle of diminishing marginal utility.

Maahs, Doreen Lynn. "Managerial Strategies Small Businesses Use to Prevent Cybercrime." ScholarWorks, 2018. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/5749.
Full textAbstract:
Estimated worldwide losses due to cybercrime are approximately $375-575 billion annually, affecting governments, business organizations, economies, and society. With globalization on the rise, even small businesses conduct transactions worldwide through the use of information technology (IT), leaving these small businesses vulnerable to the intrusion of their networks. The purpose of this multiple case study was to explore the managerial strategies of small manufacturing business owners to protect their financial assets, data, and intellectual property from cybercrime. The conceptual framework was systems thinking and action theory. Participants included 4 small manufacturing business owners in the midwestern region of the United States. Data were collected via face-to-face interviews with owners, company documentation, and observations. Member checking was used to help ensure data reliability and validity. Four themes emerged from the data analysis: organizational policies, IT structure, managerial strategies, and assessment and action. Through effective IT security and protocols, proactive managerial strategies, and continuous evaluation of the organization's system, the small business owner can sustain the business and protect it against potential cyberattacks on the organization's network. The findings of the study have implications for positive social change by informing managers regarding (a) the elimination or reduction of cybercrimes, (b) the protection of customers' information, and (c) the prevention of future breaches by implementing effective managerial strategies to protect individuals in society.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation work deals with the subject of a company in the area of e-commerce, which represents short-term or long-term plans in controlling the financial relationship toward the outer environment but also inside the company. The problem of possible abuse of credit cards is briefly analysed as well. The impulse for choosing this topic was increasing number of falsification and abusing of credit cards. When this subject is analysed in detail, the problem connected with lack of information on this particular area of crime inevitably appears. Clients of individual banking institutions often do not have even the basic knowledge about the ways their cards could be abused or misused. This is why the question of certain, at least minimal, basic information campaign done by the banks, which are supposed to protect the financial means of their clients. This dissertation work sets its goal in creating the methods of investigation of credit cards abuse not only in the Czech Republic but in the growing system of countries of Schengen Treaty and European Union. The benefit of the work can be seen in the level of theory as well of practice. The theoretical part of the work contains the analysis of the current situation of scientific knowledge in the area of information and communication technology of companies, which is implemented into information systems. Then the advantages and disadvantages connected with this kind of e-commerce are assessed and the specific opportunities for abuse of these media of payment are characterised. The problem sees mainly in writing a specialised publication, which would deal with the problem of abuse and falsification of credit cards and its possible use would be at police academies. Its main part should be the characteristics of particular forms of cards forging and also possible identification of these forgeries. This book could also help in prevention and inform clients of financial institutions about the ways of credit cards abuse. In the practical part, which concentrates on the Czech and foreign market, the author sets the basic premises for realisation of safe business of companies in the Czech Republic and its procedures. Furthermore the reasons of e-commerce abuse in the Czech Republic are analysed and results of quantification research presented. This was concentrated on ascertainment of reason of low interest in information among the public. In the conclusive part of the work the whole problem is summarised and there are also outlined perspectives and possibilities of further development

Full textAbstract:
Jag har, i mitt arbete, valt att titta på elevers tankesätt och val av strategier i huvudräkning, sett ur ett sociokulturellt perspektiv, för att se hur det står till med huvudräkningen hos dagens elever. Huvudräkning kan ses som en av grundpelarna inom matematiken. Här gäller det att lösa uppgifter i huvudet, utan några hjälpmedel. För göra detta behöver vi ha tillgång till olika strategier, som kan hjälpa oss att välja tillvägagångssätt efter behov. Här har vi mer frihet att välja hur vi ska lösa uppgiften än om vi använder oss av traditionella algoritmer. Det är dock en frihet under ansvar, där det är viktigt att känna till de förutsättningar och regler som finns att tillgå. Det krävs att vi har en god uppfattning om matematikens grunder och dess uppbyggnad. Med hjälp av en litteraturgenomgång och en empirisk undersökning, innehållande kvalitativa intervjuer och praktiskt genomförda uppgifter med elever i år 8, har jag tittat närmare på begreppet huvudräkning, dess vikt samt elevers tankesätt och strategier i huvudräkning. Mina resultat har jag ställt emot en undersökning som gjordes i början av 1980-talet, HÖJMA-projektet, där man inriktade sig mot elever i år 5. Trots det faktum att eleverna inte anser sig arbeta aktivt med huvudräkning i skolan kunde jag ändå se att en utveckling har skett i det strategiska tänkandet och att flertalet elever har utvecklat nya strategier, som kan hjälpa dem att effektivisera sin huvudräkning.

Thesis (MBA (Business Management))--University of Stellenbosch, 2007.AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Grondhervorming en dit wat daarmee gepaard gaan, is een van die hoekstene van die normalisering van ons samelewing en is sedert 1994 deel van die transformasieproses. Die huidige regering gaan uit van die oortuiging dat blywende vrede nie verkry kan word sonder dat dié ongelykhede reggestel word nie. Is daar ‘n antwoord op Suid-Afrika se ongelyke grondbesit, en kan kontrakboerdery 'n rol speel in die oorbrugging van die probleme? Een van die belangrikste aspekte van die regstelling van die ongeregtighede van die verlede, is die uitwissing van armoede, en in hierdie verband is Landbou 'n belangrike rolspeler. Ten einde armoede te bestry en werk te skep, moet die toekomstige generasie bemagtig word deur eienaarskap te versprei. Die Wet op Inheemse Grond van 1913, die Inheemse Trust- en Grondwet van 1936, en die Groepsgebiedewet van 1950 het swart Suid-Afrikaners die geleentheid ontneem om plaaseenhede te besit en te bedryf in die blanke gebiede van Suid- Afrika wat, soos ons almal weet, verreweg die grootste gedeelte van die land asook die meer produktiewe boerderygrond uitgemaak het. Die grondhervormingsproses streef om die erfenis van hierdie wette ongedaan te maak. Sedert die Suid-Afrikaanse grondhervormingsprogram in 1994 van stapel gestuur is, heers daar groot debat oor die beleid, implementeringstrategieë en die impak van sodanige pogings op landbougrond, die lewens van die bevoordeeldes, en die Suid-Afrikaanse ekonomie. Met die toename in skaal en kompleksiteit van grondhervorming het dit al hoe moeiliker vir die Regering geword om die proses te monitor en te evalueer. Dit is nou alombekend dat, behalwe vir kwantitatiewe aanwysings, daar baie leemtes bestaan in die inligting oor grondhervorming. In die lig van die veranderende aard van wêreld-landbou- en voedselmarkte en die voortspruitende behoefte vir vertikale integrasie van die voedselverskaffingskettings, het hierdie werkstuk ten doel om die rol van kontrakboerdery as 'n instelling te ondersoek, ten einde die voortgesette deelname te verseker van kleinboere in ontwikkelende lande in die markte vir hoëwaarde produkte. Die klem val spesifiek op die Suid-Afrikaanse omstandighede vir grondhervorming. Die werkstuk bespreek die teoretiese rasionaal van kontrakboerdery, en illustreer hoe dié vorm van boerdery aangewend kan word om markmislukkings en a-simmetriese informasieprobleme te oorkom.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Land reform and associated matters are some of the cornerstones of the normalizing of our society and have been part of the transformation process since 1994. The present regime is of the conviction that lasting peace cannot be achieved without such unequalities being addressed. Is there an answer to unequal ownership of land in South Africa, and can contract farming play a role in bridging these problems? One of the most important aspects of the unrighteousness of the past, is poverty and in its eradication, agriculture is an important role player. In order to combat poverty and create jobs, the future generation must be empowered by ownership of the economy. The Indigenous Land Act of 1913, The Indigenous Trust and Land Act of 1936, and the Group Areas Act of 1950 deprived Black South Africans of the opportunity to own and run farming units within the white areas of South Africa that, as we all know, formed by far the largest part of the land as well as the more productive farming land. The land reformation process strives to annul the legacy of those laws. Since the South African land reform program was started in 1994, a heated debate has raged about the policy, implementation stategies, and impact of such efforts on agricultural land, the lives of the beneficiaries, and the South African economy. With the increase in scale and complexity of land reform, it became more and more difficult for the regime to monitor and evaluate the process. It is now common knowledge that, except for qualitative indications, many shortcomings are apparent in the information on land reform. In light of the changing nature of world agricultural and food markets and the subsequent need for vertical integration of the food-supply chains, this study aims at investigating the role of contract farming as an institution, in order to ensure the continued participation of small farmers in developing countries in the markets for high-value products. The emphasis falls specifically on the South African conditions for land reform. This study describes the theoretical rationale of contract farming, and illustrates how this form of farming can be applied to overcome market fiascos and assimmetrical information problems.

Full textAbstract:
Lo scompenso cardiaco è una sindrome clinica complessa di notevole prevalenza ed incidenza nella popolazione generale, con elevata mortalità e morbidità. Le numerose alterazioni strutturali e funzionali che lo caratterizzano sono in grado di generare contemporaneamente diversi tipi di alterazioni del ritmo: dalle tachiaritmie ventricolari/sopraventricolari alle turbe della conduzione dell’impulso con bradi-aritmie e dissincronie di contrazione. La cardioversione della fibrillazione atriale e la resincronizzazione cardiaca rappresentano due terapie elettriche molto importanti in tale contesto. Le modificazioni emodinamiche, funzionali e neuro-ormonali indotte da tali trattamenti, tanto in acuto che a medio/lungo termine, possono generare numerose informazioni sulla fisio-patologia di questa sindrome. Il progetto scientifico alla base del presente manoscritto è costituito da due studi volti ad affrontare separatamente le tematiche accennate. Il primo studio è stato focalizzato sulle modificazioni indotte in 38 pazienti dalla terapia di resincronizzazione cardiaca sui parametri di circolazione periferica. I risultati ottenuti evidenziano come il trattamento consenta un incremento del flusso muscolare, soprattutto in chi presenterà un rimodellamento ventricolare inverso. La diversa eziologia sottostante (ischemica vs. non ischemica) appare influenzare i parametri relativi alla circolazione periferica tanto in acuto, quanto in cronico. Il diverso comportamento in merito alle variabili della circolazione periferica nelle valutazioni seriate suggerisce che la terapia di resincronizzazione cardiaca abbia, principalmente nei pazienti responders, effetti non solo “centrali”, e che essi non siano puramente meccanici ma mediati da fattori probabilmente di natura neuro-ormonale. Il secondo studio si è occupato della cardioversione elettrica esterna di fibrillazione atriale, un’aritmia che presenta strette relazioni con l’insufficienza cardiaca. 242 pazienti sono stati sottoposti a cardioversione elettrica esterna con onda bifasica, utilizzando due 1 diverse configurazioni di erogazione dell’energia: antero-posteriore con patch adesivi e antero-apicale con piastre standard. Il ripristino del ritmo sinusale è stato ottenuto in oltre l’80% dei pazienti già col primo shock a 120J. Sebbene fra le due metodiche non si evidenzi una significatività in termini di efficacia, i risultati ottenuti suggeriscono che la scelta della specifica configurazione di shock dovrebbe prendere in considerazione anche alcune variabili biometriche: peso, altezza e superficie corporea del paziente. Il ripristino ed il mantenimento del ritmo sinusale inducono un’importante modificazione della concentrazione di NT-pro-BNP. Un’elevata attivazione neuro-ormonale pre-procedura predispone alle recidive a medio-lungo termine, mentre le recidive nel breve-medio periodo appaiono influenzate da tale fattore solo in corso di profilassi anti-aritmica per il mantenimento del ritmo sinusale. In conclusione i risultati del progetto di ricerca sottolineano come trattamenti mirati a parametri strettamente cardiaci (ritmo e conduzione dell’impulso) siano in grado di determinare importanti modificazioni sugli equilibri emodinamici e neuro-ormonali dell’intero organismo, confermando la stretta relazione tra questi parametri e l’evoluzione del quadro clinico.

Full textAbstract:
Sammanfattning
Den svenska hotellmarknaden domineras till stor del av utländska aktörer. Stora hotellkedjor som Hilton, som representerar Storbritannien, Accor, som representerar Frankrike är bland de dominerande aktörerna. Bland de nordiska representanterna så är First/Tribe Hotels en organisation som ”sticker ut”. Alla dessa organisationer präglas av den organisationskultur som de uppstod i. De har alla arbetat fram framgångsrika strategier i sina respektive hemland. På den svenska marknaden så är konkurrensen bland dessa hotell är väldigt hög. Företagen försöker att åstadkomma fördelar gentemot sina konkurrenter genom olika strategier och koncept. En viktig del av arbetet är vilka Human resource strategier som används. För oss var det intressant att förstå hur dessa strategier var uppbyggda. Tar de olika hotellen med sig de strategier som de utvecklat i sitt ”hemland” eller anpassar man sig till de strategier som karakteriserar den svenska företagskulturen? Med bakgrund av detta kommit fram till följande problem:
Vilka HR modeller använder de tre stora aktörerna när de agerar på den svenska hotellmarknaden?
Vi har tittat på detta problem genom arbetstagarnas perspektiv och använt oss av en kvalitativ metod. Vi ville först förstå hur organisationskulturen så ut i varje hotells hemland och har därför använt oss av en deduktiv ansats. Vårt syfte var att kartlägga vilka HRM-strategier som används inom den svenska hotellmarknaden. Sedan ska vi undersöka om de aktuella aktörerna har anpassat sina HRM-strategier till den svenska organisationskulturen eller om de använder sig av HRM-strategier som används i deras respektive ”hemländer”.
Vi ansåg att Hofstede arbete om olika organisationskulturer och hans fyra dimensioner (maktdistans, individualism gentemot kollektivism, mannlighet gentemot kvinnlighet och osäkerhetsundvikande) var en bra ”grund” för att kunna upptäcka skillnader i de olika hotellens strategier.
Vår förförståelse bygger på att vi är Hotell & Restaurang studenter och har en viss erfarenhet av branschen. Denna erfarenhet har präglat arbetet på det sätt att vi har haft vissa förutfattade meningar om vilka human resource som används på marknaden. Vi har genomfört semistrukturerade intervjuer med sex stycken respondenter. Vi valde att först transkribera all data som vi samlat in för att sedan sortera ut det data som vi tolkade var relevant för uppsatsen. Genom att vi har tolkat respondenternas svar djupgående för att förstå hur deras arbetssituation såg ut så har vi använt oss av en hermeneutikisk kunskapssyn.
Genom att jämföra våra teoretiska antaganden med det empiriska materialet så har vi kommit fram till att aktörerna på den svenska hotellmarknaden anpassar sig till en stor grad till de svenska human resource strategier som präglas av den svenska organisationskulturen. Den enda avvikelse som vi upptäckte var att under variabeln osäkerhetsundvikande så ansåg vi att Accor präglades av den franska organisationskulturen och hade alltså inte fullt ut anpassat sig till de strategier som präglar det svenska human resource arbetet. Vi anser att vi har uppnått vårt syfte med denna uppsats och idag så har vi en större förståelse om vilka human resource strategier som är framgångsrika på den svenska hotellmarknaden.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med detta examensarbete var att studera vilka strategier barnen använde när de sorterade material i närvaro av en pedagog och på egen hand. Metoden som användes var kvalitativ forskningsmetod. Datainsamling bestod av åtta observationstillfällen, sammanlagt fyra observationer av barn med pedagoger och fyra till utan pedagoger. I vår studie valde vi fyra barngrupper och inom varje grupp valde vi tre barn, sammanlagt 12 barn. Vårt syfte med observationerna var att undersöka barnens lösningsstrategier vid deras lek med knappar och djur. De strategierna som vi valde att undersöka var likheter-olikheter, att bilda par, sortera efter antal och klassificering. Resultatet från studien visade att vid barnens sortering utan och med pedagoger använde strategierna likheter-skillnader, klassificering, parbildning och storleksordning.

Mokytis gyvenime mus skatina ir verčia naujų poreikių, bei naujų technologijų atsiradimas, inovacijų taikymas darbe. Vykstanti švietimo reforma, įvairūs socialinio gyvenimo pokyčiai, skatina nuolat tobulintis visų pirma pedagogus, nes pagal savo profesijos ypatumą orientuotis į būsimus ateityje valstybės poreikius, jie patys pirmieji privalo kelti savo kvalifikaciją, prisitaikyti prie gyvenimo tempo ir kintančių rinkos pokyčių, atsižvelgti į darbo rinkos tendencijas ir prognozes. Žinoma, mokymasis visą gyvenimą aktualus ne tik švietimo darbuotojams tarp jų - dėstytojams, bet ir besimokančiai plačiajai visuomenei.
Kadangi jauni žmonės baigę universitetus negali įsidarbinti, neretai jie savo ateitį susieja su ES daugiau išsivysčiusiomis šalimis, tokiu būdu .jų požiūris į vietinius poreikius tampa iškreiptas, o tolimesnis mokymasis – nebeaktualus. Jiems bandoma įteigti, jog pagrindinis sėkmės kliuvinys - neturimi praktiniai darbiniai įgūdžiai, tačiau tai – tik panašūs į tiesą teiginiai, beslapstantys bendrą ekonominį nuosmukį ir Valstybės bejėgišką jaunimo politiką, paverčiančią savo tėvynę pamote aktyviausiai ir perspektyviausiai tautos daliai.

O sector dos eventos cresceu essencialmente a partir dos anos 90 e acompanhou directamente as mudanças e os novos paradigmas da indústria turística (Bowdin, McDonnell, Allen, Harris & O´ Tool, 2003). Perante um consumidor independente e activo que procura viver experiências que superem as suas expectativas, os eventos ganharam peso e tornaram-se num factor aceso da competição entre os destinos, podendo contribuir não só para atrair turistas, como também para os fidelizar. A gestão estratégica dos destinos, o turismo de eventos e os novos consumidores constituem os temas centrais da fase de revisão bibliográfica desta investigação.
Ao nível empírico, seleccionaram-se a região do Algarve e o Programa de eventos Allgarve. A partir de inquéritos recolhidos junto do público participante em eventos associados às áreas temáticas de Animação e Música Pop, da edição Allgarve´11, analisaram-se questões como a fidelização, a satisfação, a motivação e a percepção do Programa. Ainda foi possível caracterizar o tipo de público que participou naqueles eventos e as suas recomendações relativamente ao Programa.
A utilização do programa Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) no tratamento dos dados recolhidos, possibilitou a realização de várias análises estatísticas. Da análise descritiva apurou-se que, apesar de uma baixa percentagem de participações em edições anteriores, verificaram-se níveis de satisfação elevados relativamente à experiência vivida. Ainda se verificou que o público analisado construiu uma imagem positiva do Programa, reconhecendo-lhe prestígio, atractividade e capacidade de contribuir para dinamizar a oferta cultural da região do Algarve.
Através da Análise de Correlação Canónica Não Linear (OVERALS) e do método K-Means, comprovou-se a existência de uma relação entre satisfação e intenção de recomendar a experiência a terceiros, na medida em que dos 191 inquiridos satisfeitos, todos revelaram intenção de recomendar os eventos Allgarve a familiares e amigos e 111 têm intenção de voltar a participar no Programa.
Independentemente das falhas detectadas, concluiu-se um balanço positivo do Programa Allgarve que, após cinco edições, poderia finalmente ficar ligado à imagem da região, diferenciando-a nos espectros da cultura e do entretenimento.The events sector grew up essentially since the 90´s and followed directly the changes and the new paradigms of the tourism industry. (Bowdin, McDonnell, Allen, Harris & O´ Tool, 2003). Facing now an independent and active consumer, which is constantly looking for authentic and original new experiences that can exceed their expectations, events are now more than ever the main factor that distinguishes destinations. Currently, events not only contribute to attract new tourists, but also to show their loyalty to the destination. Strategic management of destinations, along with event tourism and the new consumers constitute the main topics of the literature review of this research. The Algarve region and the “Allgarve” Program were selected at an empirical level. Using the data from a survey conducted on an audience that attended “street artist events” and Pop music concerts in the “Allgarve´11”, questions like loyalty, satisfaction, motivation and perception about the Event´s Program, are the main subjects analyzed. It was also possible to make a description of this audience, as well as their recommendations, suggestions and preferences regarding the “Allgarve” Program. The application of the software “Statistical Package for the Social Sciences” (SPSS) in the analysis of the collected data, allowed the development of several statistical analyses. From the descriptive analyzes of the collected data, it was concluded that despite a low rate of participations in previous editions, satisfaction levels were higher in relation to the lived experience. We also concluded that the audience built a positive image about the Program, recognizing its prestige, attractiveness and capacity, contributing to the growth of Algarve´s cultural offer. The application of Nonlinear Canonical Correlation Analysis (OVERALS) and of the K-Means method, supported the relation between satisfaction and intention to recommend the experience to others, since all of the 191 satisfied interviewees revealed the intention to recommend “Allgarve” Events to family and friends, as well as 111 of them intend to return and participate again. Despite of its flaws, positive conclusions were reached, and after its five editions, the program could finally have been linked to the region’s image, distinguishing it in a whole range of cultural events and entertainment.

This comparative study analyzes the translation of proper names found in the Lithuanian and Polish versions of Jerome K. Jerome’s Three Men on the Bummel. The analysis is preceded by the discussion of the status of proper names in the English language and their function in the text, later, the various basis for their classification are presented. Further, the treatment of the foreign proper names in the Polish and the Lithuanian language is taken into consideration as the grammatical rules often influence the choices of translators. As various scholars label the similar translation procedures differently, a review of solutions in translating proper names is carried out. In result, for the sake of clarity, the translation strategies proposed by Eirlys E. Davies (preservation, localization, addition, globalization, transformation, omission and creation) (2003) serve as the basis for this comparative analysis. As this thesis aims to reveal the tendencies in translating proper names in the Lithuanian and Polish languages, the Lithuanian translation of Jerome K. Jerome’s Three Men on the Bummel, done by Jonas Čeponis and titled Trise dviračiais (2005) is compared to the Polish ones produced by Jolanta Plakwicz as Trzej panowie na rowerach (1992) and Piotr J.

Sammanfattning Vad är en transformation, och vad den kan vara? Hur kan en strategi för hur man kan förhålla sig till transformationsprojekt se ut? Jag har definierat det som att en transformation handlar om att ta en befintlig byggnad och införa ett nytt program som skapar en ny verklighet. Det kan finnas flera anledningar till att göra en transformation istället för att bygga nytt. Den viktigaste anledningen som jag har valt att arbeta med handlar om att fånga upp de värden som finns i en byggnad och få med sig dem och bygga vidare på dem istället för att skapa helt andra värden. Värden är saker som yta, volym, rumshöjd, ljusförhållanden, material och detaljer. Det är saker som de gjutna betongtrapporna och de speciella fönsterpartierna i byggnaden. För mig är det detta som är själva idén och meningen med en transformation. För värdena som bevaras knyter an till historien och bär och bevarar minnen och identiteter. De skapar en kontinuitet i byggnadens berättelse. I en transformation uppkommer en mängd stora konflikter eftersom det nya programmet efterfrågar värden som byggnaden saknar. Hur man väljer att lösa dessa konflikter är det mest kritiska och svåraste i en transformation. Jag gör transformationen i två steg. Det första steget går ut på att definiera så mycket värden som möjligt och försöka få med dem in i det nya programmet samtidigt som jag bortser något från helheten. Boendena fanns där sedan tidigare, för mig handlade det bara om att isolera värdena och föra med dem in i det nya programmet. Jag har behållit så mycket av det befintliga som möjligt för att hålla värdena intakta och bara lagt till väggar för att avgränsa lägenheterna. Det jag då får är väldigt speciella boenden, många har egna ingångar, breder ut sig i två plan och har ljusinsläpp från två håll. Det här är ett säkert och relativt enkelt sätt att bevara värden. När dessa bevarade boenden är definierade uppkommer de svåra konflikterna som också gör transformationen så pass intressant. Ytorna som är kvar efter att jag lagt ut dessa behållna boenden är svåra att skapa bra boenden ifrån. Jag tror att det är viktigt att tilläggen som måste till i en transformation anknyter till byggnaden som var. Annars är risken stor att värdena som fanns förstörs. Anknytning handlar för mig om att det nya tar upp saker som rumsliga koncept, formmässiga, materialmässiga eller strukturella koncept. Innergårdarna som finns där idag används dåligt. Egentligen är innergårdar något fantastiskt. De drar inte bara in solljus utan även skugga, regn, snö, ljud, växtlighet, insekter och fåglar djupt in i en byggnadsvolym. Därför har jag valt att utveckla de innergårdar som redan finns genom att lägga till några fler. I och runt kring skolan finns också flera platsgjutna betongtrappor. För att skapa förbindelser har jag lagt till nya liknande trappor. En bra transformation skapar förutsättningar för ett nytt behov samtidigt som den behåller de viktigaste värdena i en byggnad och bygger vidare på identiteten istället för att förstöra den. Min strategi för transformationer i två steg handlar om att först få med sig vissa speciella värden in i ett nytt program utan att ta hänsyn till byggnaden som helhet. Därefter skapas ett tillägg som relaterar till det befintliga men samtidigt löser de konflikter som alltid uppkommer vid en transformation. Resultatet i det här fallet är boenden som är väldigt speciella jämfört med boenden som normalt byggs idag. Det är inga typlägenheter utan boendena som skapas har ytor, volymer, detaljer och andra egenskaper som nybyggda boenden sällan har.Abstract What is a transformation, and what could it be? How could a strategy for how to approach a transformation project look? I have defined a transformation as the act of taking an existing building and inserting a new program that creates a new reality. There can be many reasons to do a transformation instead of building something new. The most important reason that I have chosen to work with is about capturing the qualities or values that exists in a building and bring them into the new reality and build on them instead of creating whole different values. Values in this case are things like surface area, volumes, height, light conditions, material and details. It is things like the cast concrete stairs and the very special windows in some parts of the building. To me this is the core idea and purpose of any transformation. Because the values that are kept ties the present to the history, and carries and keeps memories and identities. They create continuity in the story of the building. In a transformation a number of mayor conflicts arise because the new program demands values that the existing building lacks. How you chose to solve these conflicts is the most critical and most difficult aspect of any transformation. My transformation is done two steps. The first step is about identifying as much values as possible and trying to bring them into the new program while overlooking the whole. The dwelling was there already, all I had to do was isolate the values and bring them in to the new program. I have kept as much of the existing material as possible to keep the values intact and only added walls to define the new apartments. The result is very particular dwellings; a lot of them have their own entrances, they are spreading out both horizontally and vertically and have sunlight from two directions. This is a safe and rather easy way of keeping values. When these kept dwellings are defined the more difficult conflicts arises that makes the transformation so interesting. The surface areas that remain after I have laid out these kept dwellings are hard to create good dwellings from. I think it’s important that the additions that has to be made in a transformation relates to the building that used to be. Otherwise there´s a great risk that the existing values are destroyed. Relation for me is about picking up things like spatial concepts and concepts relating to form, material or structure. The courtyards that exist today are rarely in use. Courtyards are actually something amazing. They don’t only retract sunlight but also shadow, rain, snow, sounds, foliage, bugs and birds deep into a building. Therefore I have chosen to develop the courtyards that already exists by adding some more. In and around the school there are also several stairs in cast concrete. To create connections I’ve added new similar stairs. A good transformation creates the conditions needed for a new demand, while keeping the most important values in a building and adds to the identity instead of destroying it. My strategy for transformations in two steps is about first bringing certain special values into a new program without considering the building as a whole. Afterwards an addition is created which relates to the existing while solving the conflicts that always arise when doing a transformation. The result in this case is dwellings that are very particular compared to the dwellings which are usually built today. They are not standard flats but dwellings with surface areas, volumes, details and other characteristics that newly built dwellings rarely has.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2009.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Companies are confronted with a global market that is becoming increasingly saturated. With free trade agreements allowing more competition into the traditionally lucrative Western markets and economic recessions impacting the spend-ability of these markets, there is mounting pressure to consider other market opportunities. Statistics reveal that the traditional bottom of the economic pyramid actually contains a potentially very profitable market, with a purchasing power parity of $12.5 trillion. To address this market, prospective companies will have to rethink conventional business strategies, moulded to the specific target market requirements. The gradual shift in focus to the bottom of the economic pyramid, also serves to emphasise the need of sustainable development of impoverished communities. By raising communities out of poverty, they are liberated to partake in trade, respond to opportunities and experience growth in self esteem. Whilst aid organisations play an important role in establishing this freedom, rethinking business processes could result in more sustainable impact on communities. This feeds into the concept of creating a sustainability vision, where the corporate vision should readdress not only the product but also the markets they seIVe. It should direct the company toward the solution of social and environmental problems and meet the unmet needs at the bottom of the economic pyramid. In the context of Africa's geographical, political or social milieu, it is evident that the continent offers unique challenges for engaging in trade. There are various attempts to address these, but Africa is still deemed one of the most difficult environments in which to establish operations. Africa also offers unique opportunities though, for those companies willing to rethink the conventional. Two companies saw the opportunity in malaria, a disease associated with impoverished communities. Africa has the perfect breeding ground for the P. fa/ciparum strain of malaria, which is incidentally also the most lethal. The strain has developed resistance against current medication, which makes it extremely difficult to cure and control. It is estimated that malaria costs African governments up to $12 billion per year and results annually in a penalty of 1.3% less economic growth per person than could be expected in the absence of malaria. The two companies, on different ends of the supply chain, have been reviewed in the light of the defined sustainability vision principles and the context of their strategic operations. Though not without critique, and admittedly still in the early phases of some of their processes, they have demonstrated that the concept of a sustainability vision in the African context is viable and that it is feasible to create wealth whilst serving the poor.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Maatskappye word voortdurend gekonfronteer met markte wat neig om versadig te word as gevolg van vryhandelsooreenkomste wat kompetisie stimuleer en ekonomiese resessies wat vrye kontantvloei - en gevolglik koopgewoontes - be·invloed. Daar is dus groeiende druk om voorheen ongekarteerde markte te ondersoek. Kontra verwagting toon nuwe statistieke dat die tradisionele basis van die ekonomiese piramide 'n potensieel baie winsgewende mark inhou, met koopkrag van $12,5 triljoen. Om hierdie mark te betree, word van maatskappye verlang om konvensionele besigheidstrategiee in heroorweging te neem en dit te vorm na gelang van die spesifieke konteks van hul teikenmark. Die stelselmatige skuif in fokus na die basis van die ekonomiese piramide het die noodwendige gevolg om die belang van ontwikkeling in agtergeblewe gemeenskappe te benadruk. Deur gemeenskappe te verlos uit die juk van armoede, word self-waarde gestimuleer en hulle die geleenlheid gegun om deel te neem aan aktiewe handel, wat ekonomiese groei tot gevolg he!. Welwillendheids-organisasies speel 'n belangrike rol in die opsig, maar besighede het die potensiaal om 'n meer blywende ekonomiese impak te maak. In die lig hiervan, word die konsep van 'n volhoubare visie benadruk, waar dit gestel word dat 'n maatskappy se visie beide die produk en die teikenmark in herwoorweging moet neem. Dit moet die organisasie lei om sosiale- en omgewingsprobleme aan te spreek en voorheen onvoorsiene behoeftes op die basis van die ekonomiese piramide te bevredig. Teen die agtergrond van Afrika se geografiese, politieke en sosiale milieu, is dit duidelik dat die kontinent unieke uitdagings bied vir voornemende handel. Verskeie pogings word aangewend om dit die hoof te bied, maar Afrika word steeds gesien as een van die moeilikste kontekste om besigheid in te doen. Afrika offer wel ook unieke geleenthede vir maatskappye wat bereid is om hul konvensionele banderings in herwoorweging te neem. Twee maatskappye het die geleentheid raakgesien in malaria, 'n siekte wat normaalweg met agtergeblewe gemeenskappe geassosieer word. Afrika bied die perfekte teelaarde vir die P.falciparum variant van malaria, wat toevallig ook die mees dodelike variant is. Die malaria variant het weerstand opgebou teen tradisionele voorskrif-medikasie. met die gevolg dat dit besonder moeilik is om te voorkom en te beheer. Gesaghebbende bronne skat dat malaria Afrika-regerings tot $12 miljard per jaar kan kos, en jaarliks lei tot 1,3% minder ekonomiese groei as wat verwag sou word in die afwesigheid daarvan. Twee maatskappye is geevalueer in die lig van die ge'identifiseerde volhoubare visie beginsels en die konteks van hul operasionele bedrywighede. Hoewel hulle benadering nie sonder kritiek is nie, en sommige strategiee nog die toets van tyd moet deurstaan, stel hulle goeie voorbeelde van die potensiaal om rykdom te skep, terwyl die gemeenskap in nood ook gedien word. Dit benadruk die potensiaal vir 'n volhoubare visie, ook in die Afrika konteks.

Full textAbstract:
The paper analyses impacts of the North Atlantic Council positions on perceptions of US - European relations in 21st century. First, the opening chapter clarifies under what circumstances was the organization born and what roles did it play during the following five decades. The text suggests an existence of 4 long-term constants in Allied relations. Next, the core of the paper looks at short-term repercussions (military, economic, political and other) of particular positions of the North Atlantic Council and their projection into perceptions of the transatlantic relations both by the general public and political elites. The analysis focuses on 6 situations: 1) NATO's response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, 2) the Alliance's crisis on the eve of the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, 3) the beginning of NATO's engagement in Afghanistan in 2003, 4) military capabilities reforms launched at the 2002 Prague Summit, 5) NATO's position towards missile defense at the 2008 Bucharest Summit, and 6) France's return to NATO's military structures in 2009. Finally, the paper concludes with an application of the findings on the new NATO Strategic Concept, which was adopted at the 2010 Lisbon Summit.

La crescente letteratura sulle dinamiche di povertà si occupa del tempo in cui individui diversi rimangono poveri e le transizioni dentro e fuori la condizione di povertà. Chapter 1 è una review delle strategie econometriche che sono state suggerite nella letteratura. L’attenzione è posta sulla derivazione econometrica di ogni modello, ma l’obiettivo è anche di chiarire le domande specifiche a cui ogni modello vuole dare risposta e le relative implicazioni di politica. Poiché è una regolarità empirica ben documentata che le famiglie con figli sono sovra-rappresentate al fondo della distribuzione dei redditi di molti paesi così come che i bambini che crescono in situazione di svantaggio sono associati a basse capacità cognitive e relazionali, il resto della tesi si incentra su diversi aspetti dinamici del fenomeno della povertà. In particolare, Chapter 2 studia la presenza di dipendenza dallo stato nella povertà infantile in Italia tra il 1993 e il 2006, mentre il Capitolo 3 è una valutazione dell’effetto di particolari politiche di sostegno alle famiglie che sono state introdotte in Gran Bretagna alla fine degli anni ’90 sulla durata delle esperienze di povertà.Recent studies gave evidence on how a better understanding of the phenomenon of poverty is achieved by integrating the more traditional concept of cross-sectional poverty with a longitudinal concept. The increasing literature on poverty dynamics deals with the time different individuals spend in poverty and the transitions in and out of poverty. Chapter 1 is a review of the econometrical strategies that have been employed in the literature. The focus is on the econometrical derivation of each model, but I aim also at clarifying the specific research questions each model wants to answer and the related policy implications. As it is a well-established finding that families with children are over-represented at the bottom of the income distribution in many countries as well as that children who grow up in disadvantaged environments are associated with diminished cognitive and social skills, the remaining of the thesis focuses on different dynamics facets of the poverty phenomenon. In particular, Chapter 2 investigates the presence of state dependence in Italian child poverty between 1993 and 2006, while Chapter 3 is an assessment of the effect of particular families oriented policies introduced in Britain in the late 1990s on the duration of poverty experiences.

I Sverige sker det ständig en ökning av antal köpcentrum, vilket medför att konkurrensen om kunderna ökar. För att möta en ökande konkurrens och kunders krav har olika köpcentrumägare i allt större utsträckning börjat differentiera köpcentrumen. Syftet med vår uppsats är att undersöka hur val av inriktning påverkar utformning och strukturering av två olika köpcentrum, Triangelns Köpcentrum och Gallerian Storgatan, i Malmö. Vi ska dessutom undersöka hur differentiering och profilering påverkas beroende av deras inriktning.Beroende av inriktning är ett köpcentrum riktat till olika kundsegment. För att nå och tilltala denna kategori försöker köpcentrumets förvaltare stärka varumärket och profilera sig med hjälp av marknadsföring och utformning. Mixen av hyresgäster och deras placering är också viktiga faktorer för att skapa en attraktiv atmosfär för den kategori människor man valt att vända sig till. Gallerian Storgatan är ett köpcentrum som riktar sig till en smal målgrupp genom en typ av produkter, medan Triangelns Köpcentrum riktar sig till en bredare målgrupp genom flera produktgrupper. De olika inriktningarna påverkar mixen av hyresgäster och hur förvaltarna arbetar med mångfald av butiker. I köpcentrumen styrs utformning och strukturering på olika sätt, vilket påverkar valet av butiker, caféer och restauranger. Med detta som utgångspunkt försöker de skapa en egen profil och koncept.The property owners' strategies for shopping centers - A comparative study of two shopping centers. In Sweden there are a constantly increasing number of shopping centers, which proportionally increases the competition for customers. To meet escalating competition and customer demands, shopping centers have begun diversifying, some quite extensively.The purpose of our study is to examine how the concept affects the design and structure of two different shopping centers in Malmö, Triangelns Köpcentrum and Gallerian Storgatan. We shall also examine how this diversification affects the profile and marketing strategies of these two shopping centers depending on which target groups they aim to obtain.The shopping center owners target different customer groups depending on marketing strategies. Managers try to strengthen their images toward the right customer groups through the use of attractive marketing and profiling policies. Using a correct mixture of tenants creates a harmonic feeling throughout the shopping center and this plays an important roll in attracting the desired customer groups.Gallerian Storgatan wants to attract a smaller target group of customers and therefore has a limited product range, while Triangelns Köpcentrum that wants to attract a larger customer group and therefore has a larger product range. The range of tenants in a shopping center and the placement of shops, cafés and restaurants are strongly influenced by the managers different structuring and design ideas. With this under consideration, we can conclude that the managers are trying to create their own unique concept and profile.

A análise do referido processo de vinculação dá-se a partir de instrumentos metodológicos conferidos pela Teoria dos Jogos, culminado com a apresentação dos limites do modelo e de alternativas viáveis para seu desenvolvimento.The present thesis sheds light on contemporary game theoretical approaches in International Relations, in particular as they pertain to the role of strategy setting in cross-border trade. The study of Global Trade Governance leads to questions of regime legitimacy, culminating with the adoption of the 1980 United Nations Vienna Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), recently ratified by Brazil. The analysis of the aforementioned ratification process validates the threshold of game theory as its stands today, and proposes, on the other hand, viable alternatives for the development of the model.

Full textAbstract:
Recent advances in fiber optics technology have enabled extremely high-speed transport of different forms of data, on multiple wavelengths of an optical fiber, using Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM). It has now become possible to deploy high-speed, multi-service networks using DWDM technology. As the amount of traffic carried has increased, any single failure can be catastrophic. Survivability becomes indispensable in such networks. Therefore, it is imperative to design networks that can quickly and efficiently recover from failures. Most research to date in survivable optical network design and operation focuses on single link failures, however, the occurrence of multiple-link failures are not uncommon in networks today. Multi-link failure scenarios can arise out of two common situations. First, an arbitrary link may fail in the network, and before that link can be repaired, another link fails, thus creating a multi-link failure sequence. Secondly, it might happen in practice that two distinct physical links may be routed via the same common duct or physical channel. A failure at that shared physical location creates a logical multiple-link failure. In this dissertation, we conduct an intensive study of mechanisms for achieving survivability in optical networks. From the many mechanisms presented in the literature the focus of this work was on protection as a mechanism of survivability. In particular four protection schemes were simulated and their results analyzed to ascertain which protection scheme achieves the best survivability in terms of number of wavelengths recovered for a specific failure scenario. A model network was chosen and the protection schemes were evaluated for both single and multiple link and node failures. As an indicator of the performance of these protection schemes over a period of time average service availability and average loss in traffic for each protection scheme was also simulated. Further simulations were conducted to observe the percentage link and node utilization of each scheme hence allowing us to determine the strain each protection scheme places on network resources when traffic in the network increases. Finally based on these simulation results, recommendations of which protection scheme and under what failure conditions they should be used are made.Recent advances in fiber optics technology have enabled extremely high-speed transport

Moden Portfolio Theory (MPT) can be applied to not only security portfolio but also real estate portfolio management. Although now in Taiwan rate of return of real estate investment is not satisfying, but it is still very important how to efficiently manage real estate portfolio. This thesis discuss several real estate portfolio diversification stategies, and we hope the results would contribute to real application. We do the research the following way: First, according to different criteria, we set six stategies: (i) diversification by different types; (ii)diversification by different regions;(iii) diversification by different economic regions; (iv)diversification by umemployment rate; (i) diversification by population growth rate; (ii)diversification by different property sizes. (iv) and (v) is done by cluster analysis. However, real estate data are heterogeneous so we cannot directly use them to calculate rate of return. According to real transcation data from Q1/1994 to Q4/1997, we use hedonic regresiion method to calculate price indices. Then we use these price indices to calculate required variables such as rate of return and standard deviation. Finally we do correlation coefficient test and efficient frontier comparison to see which stategies are comparatively good. The results are those following:：(1)Diversification by unemployment rate gets the hightest risk-adjusted rate of return;（2)Diversification by different regions gets the lowest risk-adjusted rate of return;（3） Diversification by different property sizes performed comparatively well. It is maybe caused by the essentially difference of high-price and low-price real estate markets;（4)Diversication by population growth rates doesn''t perform well. But we can not confirm that because our data doesn''t contain all counties in Taiwan.

This thesis is based on Economics theories and puts these theories into practice for the strategies of the main three organizations. Nowadays, the organizations in the world developing stored value cards mainly are Mondex, MasterCard and VISA International. This thesis also records their process in developing stored value cards until March, 1997. This new product has unique characteristics and face special industrial environment while promoting it into market. The crucial problems faced by the main three organizations in this industry include the competitions between compatible standards and this results in uncertainty and complexity for the making decision of the main three organizations; Strong network externalities and scale of installed base influence the strategies making and market share; The interactions of the main three organizations intensify the changes of this industry. This thesis concludes the strategies of the main three organizations. They are making commitment, enlarging installed base, attracting complementary firms, establishing alliances of strategy and ensuring the ways to get compatible standards. Applying these strategies to practice are follows: Enlarging the number of merchants and cardholders, cooperating with technological firms, other organizations, banks and so on. Finally, this thesis offers some suggestions to the main three organizations. First, the way to reach compatible standards should be determined as soon as possible and then all those companies involved in the industry could avoid hesitating. Second, the main three organizations should confirm their products positioning according to their strength and weakness. Third, speeding up the promotion in Taiwan and understanding the restriction of law shortly.

Full textAbstract:
The epidemiological study of tuberculosis (TB) has been ongoing for several decades,
but the most effective control strategy is yet to be completely understood. The basic
reproduction number, R₀, has been found to be plausible indicator for TB control
rate. The R₀ value is the average number of secondary TB cases produced by a typical
infective individual in a completely susceptible population during its entire infectious
period. In this study we develop two SEIR models for TB transmission; one involving
treatment of active TB only, with the second incorporating both active TB treatment
and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) treatment for latent TB. Using the next generation
matrix method we obtain R₀. We determine the disease free equilibrium (DFE)
point and the endemic equilibrium (EE) point. Global stability conditions of DFE are
determined using the Castillo-Chavez theorem. Through model analysis of the reproduction
number, R₀, we find that for R₀ < 1, the infection will die out. The value of
R₀ > 1 implies that the disease will spread within the population. Through stability
analysis, we show that the model exhibits backward bifurcation, a phenomenon allowing
multiple stable states for fixed model parameter value. MATLAB ode45 solver
was used to simulate the model numerically. Using the Latin Hypercube Sampling
technique the model is sensitive to treatment and disease transmission parameters,
suggesting that to control the disease, more emphasis should be placed on treatment
and on reducing TB transmission. For the second model, which incorporated treatment
with post-exposure prophylaxis for latently infected individuals, by means of
simulations, we found that treatment of latently infected individuals may reduce R₀.
Numerical simulations on the latter model also showed that it may be better to introduce
a hybrid of active treatment and post-exposure treatment of the latent class.
The force of infection was found to reduce when this hybrid control strategy is present.
Contour plots and PRCC values highlighted the important parameters that influence
the size of the Infective class. The implications of these findings are that TB control
measures should emphasise on treatment. Our simplified models assume that there is
homogeneous mixing. The model used have not been validated against empirical data.M.Sc. University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg 2014.

After the burst of internet bubbles in 2000, the proprietors of online stores began to run their business like physical ones. They adopted the strategy circumspectly to have a solid foundation for their brands. Since the contents and promotions of the website were easy to be copied, the proprietors of online stores need to strengthen their brand awareness and brand preference to customers if they want to be the leader on the market. Most of the online stores only promote their products and service online now, and their strategies are not as diverse or fancy as physical stores have. Besides, most of the researches work on information system design of the website by now. There are not only a few case study on the internet makeup and skin care product stores, but also no research of online brand strategy step model. Through using multiple case study method, this research discusses the practicable marketing strategy what the cases of this study have done. Moreover, this research also goes through the conceptions of online brand strategy, e-commerce, and internet marketing strategy to build the conceptual model to analyze the marketing strategy what the three cases have adopted for this study. In the end, this research has build one practicable brand strategy step model for successful online stores in Taiwan. The result shows that the first step of building a successful online store is to perfect your own website. Then, expand your ambits to other commercial website. After that, an online store can be known by customers without continuing the third step. But if you can follow-up, that will strengthen the brand awareness and brand preference. The third step can be working the virtual community or marketing offline. There is no priority between these two stages, and you can also adopt both on the same time. That would be no difference.

Since Hunt put forward the concept of a "strategy group" , a great many of scholars have engaged in research on different in - dustries with regard to this concept. This paper tries to introduce this concept to the research on Taiwan''s integrated securities brokerage firms, and to differentiate their operational strategies among different groups of these firms. The result of a survey on integrated securities brokerage firms show that there are different operational strategies for different groups of these firms. Based on different strategy variables, this paper classifies such firms into four groups, that is, the broking type, the underwriting type, the scale type and mini type. The main characteristics of these different types are as follows: Broking type: relatively speaking, these emphasize the stategy variable of the broking department. Underwriting type: relatively speaking, these emphasize the stategy variable of the underwriting department. Scale type: these have large scale operations and engaged in high - level multilateral business. Mini type: They have small amount of capital, and do not have an underwriting department. Due to these different concepts, the integrated securities brokerage firms constitute different groups and each group have its competitive niche. However, only by improving to the weak points can they develop and servive in the highly competitive and risky securities market.

It is the research to discuss the most appropriate strategy for the marketers from Taiwan Digital Publishing Industry to enter the Mainland China market. Textual Analysis, Porter Five Forces Analysis and SWOT Analysis are the main tools and be applied for responding below issues raised in this research: 1. Why Mainland China market is attractive to Taiwan Digital Publisher and what are the obstacles for them to enter? 2. What are the competencies and limitations for Taiwan Digital Publishers? 3. What strategies are recommended for Taiwan Digital Publishers to apply? According to Question 1, as the market size of Mainland China is considered huge and Digital Publishing is totally a brand new industry, therefore, Taiwan Digital Publishers are attracted to enter this potential market. However, policies and controls by China Government are one of the obstacles and some Local Digital Publishers who had overseas and Hong Kong background promoted forward integration strategy also became one of the obstacles. Apart from this, piracies and illegal copies are also one of the major obstacles and it caused reluctance for Taiwan Digital Publishers to enter the Mainland China market. For Question 2, the competencies of the Taiwan Digital Publishers are specialized in editing and better industry background than Local Publishers in Mainland China. However, there are still some limitations for the Taiwan Digital Publisher such as lacking of knowledge in digital technology, skills, queries in e-book copyright, high cost, difficult to be granted the right to publish and inflexible to make further investment and run the operations smoothly for small and medium business. For Question 3, the geographic obstacles can be overcome if there is a specific marketing strategy for promoting the digital publishing items. The most appropriate and flexible strategy for Taiwan Digital Publisher to go into the Mainland China market is to set up the Strategy Alliance. At last, more suggestions are recommended to the digital publishers, Taiwan government and further researches. The marketers are recommended to think twice and well-planned about the strategies as well as their competencies and obstacles beforehand. Since, China government dominants the market, hence, The Taiwan government is suggested to provide legal aid for the marketers who plan to enter the Mainland China market instead. Finally, other researchers are also welcomed to provide their own point of views and share their experiences in order to enrich the contents and findings in this research.

A recent report by Terrapin Bright Green “Mid-century (Un) Modern” discusses the desperate condition of mid-century modern high-rises in Manhattan. The article argues that it would be beneficial both economically and environmentally to demolish these buildings and build new ones with an assumed increase in FAR. To re-build, repair or re-skin are the questions Mid-century Modern High-rises (MMH) face today. This study focuses on Houston, Texas, which is very different from New York City both climatically and from a planning stand point. It is dreaded for its hot and humid climate and notorious for its consistent refusal to adopt any zoning. These high-rises in Houston represent the economic success of the city immediately after WWII. These buildings were constructed as the city transformed from the Bayou City to the Space city. In this study I have mapped the status of these high-rises and the strategies that were used to renovate them. The questions I further wish to address are how preservation or energy efficiency are addressed while renovating these buildings. Even preservationists might agree that all buildings are not equal and a new look would benefit some. The real challenge lies in resolving the grey areas, where one is not talking about a Seagram or a Lever House, but a well designed environmentally sensitive building.text

As we know that the process of visions, strategies, plans, actions, reviews and re-plans are essential to managing a company and strategies obviously are the main guideline of all. The product strategies in marketing are recognized as the starting point to various kinds of strategies in production, marketing, human resource, R&D, finance, information system and logistic…etc. The distribution organization of Multi-Level Marketing companies (hereafter named “MLM companies”) is different from those of other industries because in addition to being a customer, the distributors are not only their sales representatives but also supervisors of the sales teams. Therefore, the characteristics of distribution organization must be particularly taken into account while MLM companies plan on their product strategies. If they know well about the characteristics, the products strategies can be successfully initiated and company goal can be easily achieved as a result. In this study the data was collected through questionnaires which focus on the following three main issues in order to compare the differences and similarities of consideration factors between MLM companies and distributors while MLM companies plan on their product strategies. □To see if there are different viewpoints between MLM companies and distributors on the fitness to individual distributor with different characteristics in selling various kinds of products. □To evaluate the influence to the sales performance based on distributors’ professional knowledge, educational background and gender. □To observe the reactions and expectations of distributors on the new products that MLM companies promote. The findings in the study are as follows, 1)Distributors do think over whether the product is suitable for them or not while joining MLM companies. 2)The characteristics of distributors do affect their choice of selling products and their sales performance. 3)MLM companies are certainly concerned about the characteristics of distributors no matter in the ordinary time or during the period of promoting their new products. 4)There are differences and similarities between the MLM companies and the distributors in the consideration factors about new products. 5)There are differences and similarities between the MLM companies and the distributors in the product strategies, including channel, brand, quality and price. It is hoped that the study will enable MLM companies to realize the importance of the characteristics of distributors to its product strategies and enable them to achieve the best effectiveness by analyzing the characteristics of their distributors.

The trend of rapid increase in all sorts of mobile phones especailly the needs for 2G mobile phones is obvious since the telecommunication liberalization happened. Despite the rapid increase in the use of 2G mobile phones, few people actully use the phones to surf the Internet and the main market is still in the 2G. 3G mobile phones first set foot in Taiwan in 2005. With limited market and competitiveness from other phone companies, many investors need to think of new strategies to widen the market and to increase the profit. Therefore, our study, based on theories of consumer behavior, looks into and analizes the behavior of those buying a 3G mobile phone. Our samples are based on people who live in the Chia-Yi County and who own a mobile phone. We use surveys and questionnaires to investigate the relationship between the consumers’ consumption behavior and phone marketing strategies There are 7 concrete results through the evidence: 1. 90% above consumer thought it purchases the 3G mobile phones the main motive is because of the route inquiry and the job requirement. 2. People who need to have up-to-date information, those who work in the commercial information related businesses or those who want to stay connected to distant family all the times. 3. The primary concerns for 3G mobile phone users are the speed when connecting to the Internet and the availability to send and receive video images. 4. The price of 3G mobile phones has a big influence on customers’ consuming will. For example, discount or no charge on calling fee when calling people within the same phone network. 5. Different types of customers have different value toward “source of information”, “property of products” and “sales-strategy-not-relative-to -price”. The Stylish types of customers value the above three points more than the Efficency types of customers, which value more than the Conservative types of customer. On the other hand, different types of customers have different levels of “consumption motive”. The Conservative Types of customers needs more motives than the Efficency Types of customers than the Stylish Types of customer. 6.Different types of customers have different value toward “sale strategy”. The Efficiency types of customers value the above point more than the Stylish types of customers, which value more than the Conservative types of customer. 7.Different types of customers have different value toward “presentation of self-identity”, “the need for the Internet”, “the style of the phones”. a. The Stylish types of customers value “presentation of self-identity” and “the need for the Internet” more than the Conservative types of customers. b. The Stylish types of customers value “Style of the phones” more than the Efficiency types of customers, which value more than the Conservative types of customer.

As the Internet and digital technology progressing rapidly, we are capable of combining the Internet with the media. Consumers consequently have variety ways of choices in communication and video conference. MOD (Multi-media on Demand), gradually catches consumers’ attention. Nowadays, MOD service not only has to face competitors in the same business field, but also has to compete with the cable television proprietors. Under the circumstances of fierce competition, how to make marketing strategies to raise the consumers’ purchasing wills is a question highly concerned by relative businesspersons; meanwhile, this is also the main topic this research wants to focus on. Based on the relational theories of consumer behavior, this research intends to figure out how MOD marketing strategies affects consumers’ purchasing, according to the investigation into the customers of Chunghwa Telecom Company from Kaohsiung and Tainan.
