The Impact

The study aims to determine the importance of supply activities in building the enterprise’s positioning in the international market. In its theoretical framework, the study adopted the issue of international supply as an independent variable in addition to the strategy of positioning in the international market as a dependent variable. Hover, the practical framework of the study included identifying the impact of commitment to implement supply activities on the enterprise’s positioning in the international market. The supply activities consisted of procurement, transportation, storage, distribution, and packaging. The Hasnawi Group of Companies was chosen as an international enterprise to conduct the study. As for the study sample consisting of 42 individuals, it was randomly chosen. By analyzing the questionnaire using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS V. 20), the results showed that the enterprise under study pays attention to international supply activities as a key factor in building international positioning. The study also found that there is a correlation and influence between the supply activities and the dimensions of positioning in the international market represented in quality, cost, delivery speed and brand. Notably, the storage and packaging activities had the greatest impact, which means that the company seeks to build its positioning internationally by providing products near the consumer, in addition to adopting a packaging policy that is consistent with the characteristics of the international marketing environment.

The Impact

The aim of the paper is to scrutinize activities related to the commemoration of Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky. There were three main goals of the research. The first one was to identify the most important actors of the commemorative activities. The second goal was to reconstruct the strategies applied by these agents. Thirdly, this research aimed to consider current processes in the Ukrainian political system. In particular, the question was what we can know about the evolution of these commemorative activities after the Euromaidan based on relations between different agents in the mnemonic field. Special emphasis was placed on Sheptytsky’s attitude during the Holocaust and on the impact of this topic on the commemorative activities. As a theoretical framework of the research, Jan Kubik and Michael Bernhard’s theory of the politics of memory was applied. The research enabled verification of some elements of Kubik and Bernhard’s concept. Inter alia it was an issue of a set of presumptions regarding interrelations between strategies applied by mnemonic actors, the structure of mnemonic regime, and prospects for democratization of a political system.

This list deals with the impact of the Halliwick Swimming Concept on subjective experience and psychical states of people with physical impairment. By means of the Halliwick Swimming Concept, that consisted of 10 swimming lessons, we observed the psychical response of the tested persons to individual lessons as well as to the whole programme within a frame of a case study. The acquired data indicate a positive impact of the swimming programme in the field of elimination of negative psychical state in water environment such as anxiety, discomfort and despondency and gradual increase of psychical well-being, activity and feelings of power and energy connected with positive expectations. Most of these changes proved not only in individual lessons, but also from the point of view of the whole programme evaluation.

The aim of the present study is to clarify the effect of the intervention of live-in maids in the family affairs and especially in the interactive relationship between couples whether by revealing respect or by their position in quarrels. The maid is a key factor in the domestic life of the host family; she plays a role in the food preparation and the cleaning, gives medicine to the children, resolves their problems and helps with their homework. The method and methodology for this study was the social survey and stratified random sample application. A questionnaire was used for the current study to collect data from 1,800 families consisting of a husband and a wife who live with the maid in the same house. The statistical package that was used in this study was SPSS for analyzing the collected data applying statistical equations such as the Independent Sample T-test for the two independent samples of the husbands and wives. Additionally, the Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) and the Post Hoc Multiple Comparison for Observed Means for comparisons between the averages of arithmetical means of the data of the study were used to investigate the effect of independent variables. The scale for the independent variable related to the maid’s interference in the family affairs included three levels as follows: (a –high intervention b – medium intervention c-absolute no intervention). The purpose was to know the effect of the independent variable on the two dependent variables which are 1 -respect between spouses 2 – fights between spouses). The findings of the study suggest that there is a statistical significance between the feelings of respect between spouses as well as the quarrels between the couple and the live-in maid’s interference in family affairs. Finally, the study recommends that future studies and research shed more light on the various problems with house servants like crimes and theft.

The Impact

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of the chosen specific internationalization pathway on the relationship between internationalization and firm performance. Design/methodology/approach – This paper analyses the internationalization pathway among small- and medium-sized enterprises which internationalize through exporting and are more limited in terms of the resources they can leverage across markets. Findings – Empirical evidence obtained from a sample of wineries in La Rioja shows that the internationalization – export performance relationship is characterized by a U-shaped curve for firms with a gradual internationalization pathway, and an S-shaped curve for firms with an accelerated internationalization pathway. Research limitations/implications – This empirical study on the impact of export intensity on performance has acknowledged the importance of costs caused by the liability of foreignness and the transaction and coordination costs involved in each market expansion process. However, it has not examined the effect of differences in absorptive and coordination capabilities at the firm level. Practical implications – The findings about the role of the specific internationalization pathway in driving export intensity and performance appear to be relevant from a public-policy perspective. Local policies aimed at promoting exports have been widely based on the argument that firms can improve their performance through increasing their level of international sales. However, empirical evidence shows that these efforts may not work as well as was thought, unless combined with the right market expansion pathway and the optimal level of exports associated with this international market expansion. Social implications – Most studies on the effect of international market expansion on firm performance have not considered the influence of the specific market expansion pathway chosen. In taking this factor into account, this paper contributes to the existing body of work by developing an integrative theoretical framework that explores how the pathway of internationalization impacts on firms’ performance. Originality/value – Most studies on the effect of international market expansion on firm performance have not considered the influence of the specific market expansion process chosen. In taking this factor into account, this paper contributes to the existing body of work by developing an integrative theoretical framework that explores how the process of international market expansion impacts on firms’ performance.

The Impact

Using data from the 2011-2012 season of the Premier League, we study empirically and theoretically the impact of soccer suspension rules on the behavior of players and referees. For players facing a potential one-game suspension, being one versus two yellow cards away from the suspension limit results in an approximate 12% reduction in fouling, while for those facing a potential two-game suspension, the reduction is approximately 23%. The probability such players receive a yellow card is also reduced. In addition, we find some evidence of slight referee bias for the home team in the dispensing of penalty cards, but not in the calling of fouls. Finally, we develop a theoretical framework for investigating the effects of suspension rules on the number of fouls committed. Within this framework, we investigate how policy instruments such as referees’ propensity to give out yellow cards or their consistency in giving them out affect the impact of suspension rules.

Abstract Background We assessed the impact of resident teaching in medical students' overall assessment of an obstetrics and gynecology clerkship. Methods Between September 2007 and March 2010, third-year medical students completed a questionnaire at the end of their clerkship. Questions covered the number of topics they recalled learning about from residents, perceptions of the quality of education received from residents, perceptions of the experience with the residents as teachers, and overall rating of the obstetrics and gynecology clerkship. Results Questionnaires were completed by all medical students (N  =  74), with 63 students returning complete surveys. There was a small correlation between the number of topics students recalled learning about from residents and ratings of quality of education (r  =  0.249, P  =  .03), a small correlation between the number of topics students recalled learning about from residents and level of satisfaction with the clerkship (r  =  0.262, P  =  .04), and a larger correlation between assessment of the overall experience with residents as teachers and ratings of quality of education received from residents (r  =  0.687, P < .001). Overall experience with residents as teachers and perceived quality of education from residents were both associated with satisfaction with the clerkship (r  =  0.756, P < .001 and r  =  0.603, P < .001, respectively). A regression model with these variables accounted for 58% of the variability in students' ratings of the clerkship (F  =  27.103, P < .001, R  =  .761, R2  =  .579). The only significant independent variable was assessment of the overall experience with residents as teachers (t  =  5.350, P < .001). Conclusion Quality of interactions between residents and medical students is a key factor in medical students' assessment of their clerkship.
