Are virtues national, supranational, or universal?
2014
Many studies investigated cultural differences in values, most notably by Hofstede and Schwarz. Relatively few have focused on virtues, a related and important concept in contemporary social science. The present paper examines the similarities and differences between nations, or blocks of - culturally related - nations on the perceived importance of virtues. Adults (N = 2.809 students) from 14 countries were asked to freely mention which virtues they found important to practice in daily life, and next to rate a list of 15 virtues, which reflect the most frequently mentioned categories in The Netherlands, as found in a previous study. The 14 nations included the United States, Mexico, nine E…
Strongly decelerated expansion of SN 1979C
2002
We observed SN1979C in M100 on 4 June 1999, about twenty years after explosion, with a very sensitive four-antenna VLBI array at the wavelength of 18cm. The distance to M100 and the expansion velocities are such that the supernova cannot be fully resolved by our Earth-wide array. Model-dependent sizes for the source have been determined and compared with previous results. We conclude that the supernova shock was initially in free expansion for 6 +/- 2 yrs and then experienced a very strong deceleration. The onset of deceleration took place a few years before the abrupt trend change in the integrated radio flux density curves. We estimate the shocked swept-up mass to be about 1.6 solar masse…
A new marketing mix model to rescue the hospitality industry: Evidence from Egypt after the Arab Spring
2017
After January 25th 2011 Egypt witnessed political, economic and social instability leading to drastic consequences in the hospitality and tourism industry. Thus unstable situation reflected on the deteriorated occupancy percentages that led to declined profit margins, higher employee layoffs and degraded quality of product and services.

A methodological framework was designed to help in the assessment process of management practices pertaining…
Datorizēta FM-100 testa izmantošana hromatiskās jutības sliekšņa noteikšanai
2016
Bakalaura darbs ir uzrakstīts latviešu valodā uz 33 lapaspusēm. Tas satur 17 attēlus, 2 tabulas, 29 atsauces uz literatūras avotiem. Mērķis: aprobēt jaunu nodaļa izveidotu (R.Trukša) FM-100 datorizētu testu cilvēkiem ar krāsu redzes defektiem (KRD) un bez KRD un salīdzināt rezultātus ar HRR testu, D-15 testa divām versijām (Farnsworth un Lanthony) un HMC Oculus anomaloskopu. Pētījumā piedalījās 15 cilvēki, no kuriem 3 bija ar KRD. Datorizēta FM-100 testa datu analīzei izmantoja Vingrys & King-Smith metodi. Izmantojot iegūtos datus tika noteiktas normas vērtības, balstoties uz cilvēku bez KRD rezultātiem.
