Šķirkļa struktūras analīze biznesa terminu vārdnīcās

2019

Šajā pētījumā tika veikta biznesa terminu vārdnīcu šķirkļa struktūras analīze. Pētījuma mērķis bija analizēt un salīdzināt šķirkļa struktūru biznesa terminu vārdnīcās drukātajā un elektroniskajā vidē, lai parādītu atšķirības starp tām. Šajā pētījumā tika pielietotas literatūras apskata un šķirkļa struktūras satura analīzes metodes. Rezultāti ir parādījuši, ka ir daudz atšķirību starp drukātās vides un elektroniskās vides biznesa terminu vārdnīcām, tai starpā informācijas daudzveidības ziņā. Galvenais šī pētījuma secinājums ir tas, ka pastāv atšķirības starp izvēlētajām drukātās un elektroniskās vides biznesa terminu vārdnīcu šķirkļa struktūrām, kas izceļ atšķirības starp šķirkļa struktūru o…

Study regarding the physical-mechanical properties of knits for garments – pilling performance

2017

The effect of the pilling degradation results is an important decreasing in garment quality and a negative influence on the user’s comfort to wear. There are a lot factors, such as the yarn spinning system, fabric geometry and finishing operation, which affect the pilling performance. This research paper presents the investigation of fabric surface concerning pilling formation, especially knits, influenced by the fibrous composition. As samples were used knitted fabric panels, obtained from carded yarns, with fibers composition like cotton, wool or mixed one. Regarding fabric geometry 3 types were used – single jersey, 2x2 rib and moss stitch. In order to establish which of the yarns are mo…

Entry Barriers of Small and Medium-sized Software Firms in the Japanese Market

2007

The Japanese software market size was 131,773 million U.S. dollars in 2004. Due to limited domestic software production, Japan is highly dependent on imported software products. Despite the market potential for foreign software firms in Japan, almost no research exists on what kind of challenges foreign software firms encounter when they are entering the market. To fill this gap, this paper investigates the entry barriers of small and medium-sized software firms in the Japanese market by using a multi case-study. The findings suggest that most of the barriers are firm-specific and mainly related to firms’ resources and capabilities to operate in the market. The entry barriers encountered al…

DEVELOPMENT TRENDS OF ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS OF SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES IN THE REPUBLIC OF LATVIA

2010

The significance of small and medium enterprises (SME) including the development of micro enterprises has been emphasized more and more often in the national economic policy of many countries. This issue is also topical in the economy of Latvia, especially in the situation when it is necessary to revive and stimulate the economic activity in the country. Taking into account the measures planned by the European Commission and the amendments to the legislation of the Republic of Latvia and the planned measures regarding the support of SME as well as the differentiation of requirements in the field of accounting depending on the scale of activities the authors analyse the questions which are c…

Measuring the market power in the ceramic tile industry: An international comparison

2004

This paper measures the degree of competition faced by Spanish and Italian exporters of ceramic tiles in several European Union member states. The results indicate that Spanish producers have a substantial market power while Italian exporters face a high degree of competition. This finding is consistent with the significant gain (loss) in the world production and export shares that Spanish (Italian) producers experienced during the 1990s. The results are also consistent with accounting data. Furthermore, comparisons in the extent of market power across source countries and European destination markets reveal that most variation in the data is related to the source country. JEL no. F12, F14,…

Ossovenography and Epidural Venography

1976

Henning (1940) and Ehrhardt and Kneip (1943) were the first to report injection of contrast medium into bone. In 1952 Fischgold et al. reported that contrast injections into a human spinous process resulted in an outline of the venous plexus of the attached vertebral body. In subsequent years improvements have been made which now permit contrast visualization of the venous plexuses of the entire vertebral axis.

1981

Dynamic-mechanical and dielectric measurements have been performed with some polycarbonate samples. In one set of experiments care was taken to avoid any absorption of moisture. In other sets of experiments, samples were exposed to atmospheric humidity and to boiling water. The glass transition temperature was found to be highly affected by the absorption of water and by the test conditions. Dynamisch-mechanische und dielektrische Messungen wurden an Polycarbonatproben durchgefuhrt. In einer Versuchsserie wurde die Absorption von Wasser vollstandig vermieden, in weitern Versuchen wurden die Proben der Luftfeuchte bzw. kochendem Wasser ausgesetzt. Die Glasubergangstemperatur wurde durch das …

Experimental Investigations and Numerical Analysis for Improving Knowledge of Incremental Sheet Forming Process for Sheet Metal Parts

2009

The paper is related to the analysis of shape distortions and springback effects arising in Single Point Incremental Forming. An experimental set up has been designed and manufactured to carry single point incremental forming on small size sheet metal parts. The experimental set up is mounted on 3-axes CNC milling machine tool and the forming tool is attached and move with the spindle. Experiments have been carried out on sheet metal parts to obtain tronconical shapes. The forming strategy associated to the movement of the forming tool has been also investigated. The experiments indicate that shape distortions arising in the corners of the tronconical shape are clearly related to forming st…

Helical Shift Mechanics of Rubber V-Belt Variators

2011

A very common configuration of V-belt variators for motorcycles considers the correction of the belt tensioning depending on the resistant torque by means of suitable helical-shaped tracks allowing the driven half-pulleys to close/open. The theoretical model for belt-pulley coupling is rather complex for this configuration, where one half-pulley may run in advance and the other one behind with respect to the belt, and requires the repeated numerical solution of a strongly nonlinear differential system by a sort of shooting technique, until all the operating conditions are fulfilled (angular contact extent, torque, and axial force). After solving the full equations, the present study develop…

Sport and Quality of Life

2022

Negli ultimi trent’anni lo sport ha assunto un significato molto rilevante nella vita delle persone e, seppure con notevoli differenze, sia nei paesi a sviluppo economico avanzato, sia in quelli in via di sviluppo. A livello individuale, esso ha costituito un’area di investimento identitario quando ha assunto la forma di sport spettacolo del quale fruire, alimentando la pratica del tifo e il fandom o costituendo il modello di uno stile di vita vincente; ma anche quando ha assunto la forma di pratica del tempo libero attraverso la quale tenersi in forma, facendo crescere, in questo caso, la diffusione di una cultura della salute e del benessere. Si tratta di due modalità di approcciare al co…
