APPLYING SUSTAINABLE MARKETING STRATEGIES – THE KEY TO OBTAINING COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES ON THE INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS MARKET
2014
The crux of any marketing strategy is to give business an advantage in a competitive market. The success of implementing a strategy is measured in economic terms by: sales volume, market share, profits, listed stock prices etc. In general, managers attach too much importance to obtaining short-term profit and ignore or disregard the profit made by the company in the long run. If for a company the only objective is to achieve economic success in the short term, then the interest in the direction of sustainable development is not the subject of the discussion. The studies published in various economy publications, the media debates, the actions undertaken by different NGOs frequently bring to…
Etude de l'impact du contrôle postural associé au port de verres prismatiques dans la réduction des troubles cognitifs chez le dyslexique de développ…
2007
But de l’etude L’objectif de ce travail est d’evaluer l’impact des modifications proprioceptives induites par un traitement postural sur les troubles cognitifs d’une population d’enfants souffrant de dyslexie de developpement. Patients et methodes Il a ete constitue un groupe de 20 enfants dyslexiques traites par prismes posturaux, semelles « de posture » et reeducation posturale, et un groupe temoin de 13 enfants dyslexiques portant uniquement des lunettes sans prismes. Tous les enfants etaient de sexe masculin. Lors de leur inclusion dans l’etude (M0) et 6 mois plus tard (M6), tous les participants ont ete evalues par un bilan ophtalmologique et postural et ont recu un examen neuropsychol…
A Novel Model for Cybersecurity Economics and Analysis
2017
In recent times, major cybersecurity breaches and cyber fraud had huge negative impact on victim organisations. The biggest impact made on major areas of business activities. Majority of organisations facing cybersecurity adversity and advanced threats suffers from huge financial and reputation loss. The current security technologies, policies and processes are providing necessary capabilities and cybersecurity mechanism to solve cyber threats and risks. However, current solutions are not providing required mechanism for decision making on impact of cybersecurity breaches and fraud. In this paper, we are reporting initial findings and proposing conceptual solution. The paper is aiming to pr…
Health and social impact of culture
2009
Abstract This master`s thesis concentrates on health and social impacts of culture. Main concepts of the thesis are: health, culture and social capital. Purpose of the research is to find out which are the health impacts of culture, how to measure those impacts and how could the methods used in health-measurement be improved. There will be six researches analyzed in this master`s thesis. Methodology used is content analysis of the secondary data, choosen among many scientific researches on the area of health and social impacts of arts and culture. Searching was carried through in databases of the Library of the University of Jyväskylä and in database scholar google. The main focus was set i…
Injury and Throwing Distance in Teenage Cyclist- Vehicle Crash
2016
The study of the injury caused by vehicle-teenage cyclist crash is presented in this paper. The results of the crash with three vehicles: sedan, SUV and Pick up are compared. Three different positions are analyzed: front, rear and lateral position. The injury on the cyclist head is examined by HIC criterion, in the way indicated by the rules. A comparison is done between the results of the simulations for Pick up, SUV and sedan, concluding that the injury of the head is more dangerous for Pick-up impact than SUV or the sedan, but only at greater speed than 40 km/h. Teenage cyclist is more likely to suffer an injury to the chest in rear impacts with the sedan, because 3 ms values remain abov…
HIC evaluation in teenage cyclist – SUV accident
2015
The study of the crash between normal sedan and teenage cyclist was examined in previous paper, and is here continued analyzing the influence of the front part of the vehicle in the injury caused by the accident. The vehicle is a SUV, with high frontal part. No variation is executed on the model of the teenage cyclist and the bike. The position of the teenage cyclist regard to SUV is the same: three different positions are analyzed: front, rear and lateral position. The injury on the cyclist head is examined by HIC criterion, in the way indicated in the rules. Correlation HIC – AIS is used to calculate the lethality of the injuries. The work is arranged to calculate the damage to the chest …
Teenage cyclist - Pick up crash by multibody simulation; HIC evaluation and comparison with previous results
2016
The study of the injury caused by Pick-up vehicle-teenage cyclist crash is presented in this paper. The vehicle has high frontal part, in order to compare the results with those obtained previously in the sedan and SUV - teenage cyclist crash. No variation is executed on the model of the teenage cyclist and the bike. Three different positions are analyzed: front, rear and lateral position. The injury on the cyclist head is examined by HIC criterion, in the way indicated in the rules. Correlation HIC – AIS is used to calculate the lethality of the injuries. A comparison is made between the results of the simulations for Pick up, SUV and sedan, concluding that the injury of the head is more d…
Biomechanics Parameters in the Vehicle-Cyclist Crash with Accident Analysis in Palermo
2014
The vehicle-bicyclist impact is studied in this paper. After analysis of the accidents in Palermo in the last years, the multibody simulation of the crash is executed by making use of Visual Nastran. Dummy, car and bicycle are those used in previous works. The attention is on a teenage cyclist, because the data on this argument are found in literature with difficulty. The impact is simulated at four different speeds until 50 km/h, with three different positions of the cyclist relative to the vehicle: frontal, side and rear. In particular the injury of the head is analyzed using the parameter HIC and the chest injury is analyzed by 3 ms criterion; the likelihood AIS 4+ is calculated, conclud…
Biomechanics Parameters in Teenage Cyclist – SUV Accident and Comparison with the Pedestrian
2015
The study of the injury caused by the vehicle-teenage cyclist crash is presented in this paper. The vehicle is a SUV, with high frontal part, in order to compare the results with those obtained previously in the sedan- teenage cyclist crash and begin a study of the influence of the frontal shape of the vehicle. No variation is executed on the model of the teenage cyclist and the bike. Three different positions are analyzed: front, rear and lateral position. The injury on the cyclist head is examined by HIC criterion, in the way indicated in the rules. Correlation HIC – AIS is used to calculate the lethality of the injuries. The principal conclusion is done that the injury of the head is mor…
A New Theoretical Approach on Teenage Cyclist-Vehicle Crash
2016
Data obtained in teenage cyclist impact against three vehicles (sedan, SUV and Pick Up), tested in previous works, are analyzed to verify the theoretical results by the coupling of momentum conservation principle and energy conservation principle. The speed of vehicle and thorax are compared with theoretical ones, obtaining an excellent agreement. Following the results found in the literature, particular emphasis is done on teenager cyclist thorax and head speeds, indicating that the cyclist speed can be theoretically until 1,41 times the impact speed, while greater values, until 2, are obtained in the simulations. A small slowing of the vehicle is found theoretically and in the simulations…
