<b>Reconstruction of affected SMEs: A Case Study of a Marine Products Processor </b>

The paper focuses on the development of women fisheries entrepreneurship groups in the marine products distribution sector in Japan. In particular, we will discuss the women’s groups in fishery cooperative associations (FCAs) who live in fishing communities and conduct economic activities using local resources centred on fishery products. The case study of the Sanmi Sea Mothers will also be examined following its historical evolution up to its current operational and economic performance.

Central Sulawesi

Many bussinessman develop the restaurant of seafood in the Palu Town, Central Sulawesi. The production’s fisheries activities yielded high protein products and consumed by community, not only limited to fisheries products but also the processed product with various taste. One of the products of fisheries that distributed in the market were the marine products in The Palu town. The objectives of this study is to analyse the preferences of consumer on the marine products in the Palu town. The study method is the case study (case study with a unit of famous seafood restaurant cases MJM that located in the Palu town. The sampling method which used in this study was accidental sampling. The type of fisheries product that sold in the Seafood Restaurant of MJM were groupers, snapper fish, baronang, katamba, mangrove’s crabs, shrimps and squid. The interest of marine product was undertaken with analysis of multiple linear regression and yielded F-count > F-Table with level of significance 95% shown concordance of consumer’s interest to attribute of product. Simultanously, attribute of product of diversity (X1) = , quality (X2), price (X3), taste (X4), and service (X5) have influenced significantly to preference of consumer whereas partially, the product attribute of quality (X2) possess effect the most dominant with coefficient of regression value is 0,531 or 53,1%. Thus, the preference of consumer to marine product is quality of fish was level of freshing quality, clean, consumed healthty.

Long-term and season-specific changes in the body concentrations of iron, copper, zinc, and selenium by means of quantitative analyses of beard samples collected every day — a case study

The Relationship

A total of 4269 beard samples were collected from the same person every day over a 12-year period and analyzed by PIXE using a standard-free method. It was found that the concentrations of copper and zinc showed certain short-term changes but did not show a noticeable long-term trend over the study period, with only iron showing a slightly decreasing tendency with age. All of these elements showed clear yearly variations with a cycle of a few years possibly due to periodic metabolic changes in the subject’s body or long-term changes in eating habits. In contrast, however, selenium showed clear seasonal variations. Its concentration significantly increased in the summer and decreased in the winter, just as was observed with arsenic and mercury. This suggests that most of the subject’s selenium intake was from marine products, whose supply and consumption were increased in the summer. These findings confirmed that beard analyses are useful not only for evaluating essential-element intake but also for estimating the relationship between the body-element concentrations and ingestion of certain foods.

The 1960S

AbstractUsing interviews with former militants and previously unpublished documents, this article traces the genesis and internal dynamics of the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (People's Revolutionary Army, ERP) in El Salvador during the early years of its existence (1970–6). This period was marked by the inability of the ERP to maintain internal coherence or any consensus on revolutionary strategy, which led to a series of splits and internal fights over control of the organisation. The evidence marshalled in this case study sheds new light on the origins of the armed Salvadorean Left and thus contributes to a wider understanding of the processes of formation and internal dynamics of armed left-wing groups that emerged from the 1960s onwards in Latin America.

The World

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.

Abstract Hoerl and McCormack demonstrate that although animals possess a sophisticated temporal updating system, there is no evidence that they also possess a temporal reasoning system. This important case study is directly related to the broader claim that although animals are manifestly capable of first-order (perceptually-based) relational reasoning, they lack the capacity for higher-order, role-based relational reasoning. We argue this distinction applies to all domains of cognition.

Abstract Sociocultural developmental psychology can drive new directions in gadgetry science. We use autobiographical memory, a compound capacity incorporating episodic memory, as a case study. Autobiographical memory emerges late in development, supported by interactions with parents. Intervention research highlights the causal influence of these interactions, whereas cross-cultural research demonstrates culturally determined diversity. Different patterns of inheritance are discussed.

Deformation Patterns

Modern polishing, precision machining and microindentation techniques allow the processing and mechanical characterization of ceramics at nanometric scales and within entirely plastic deformation regimes. The mechanical response of most ceramics to such highly constrained contact is not predictable from macroscopic properties and the microstructural deformation patterns have proven difficult to characterize by the application of any individual technique. In this study, TEM techniques of contrast analysis and CBED are combined with stereographic analysis to construct a three-dimensional microstructure deformation map of the surface of a perfectly plastic microindentation on macroscopically brittle aluminum nitride.The bright field image in Figure 1 shows a lg Vickers microindentation contained within a single AlN grain far from any boundaries. High densities of dislocations are evident, particularly near facet edges but are not individually resolvable. The prominent bend contours also indicate the severity of plastic deformation. Figure 2 is a selected area diffraction pattern covering the entire indentation area.
