Tree Method

Aim/purpose–The aim of the paper is to identify the features of ‘green’ small and medium-sized enterprises operating in Poland.Design/methodology/approach –The paper is based on a quantitative approach and a group of 200 small and medium-sized enterprises operating in Poland were examined. The classification tree method was used to analyze the data gathered.Findings–The ‘green’ small and medium-sized enterprises operating in Poland were characterized and their important features were identified, e.g., belonging to the TFL (Transport Forwarding Logistics) sector and a direct relationship with the supply chain leader. In the case of enterprises from the TFL sector, their area of activity is a natural environment for the development of ‘green logistics’ practices.In turn, the supply chain leader usually pushes for specific solutions aimed at achieving the assumed goals, in-cluding environmental goals.Research implications/limitations–The research results enable the identification pro-cess of small and medium-sized enterprises interested in implementing the ‘green logis-tics’ concept and, consequently, their support. Nevertheless, small and medium-sized enterprises operating in Poland were the only examined, thus the research findings can-not be generalized for other countries. However, the paper could be a starting point for comparative analyses on an international scale.Originality/value/contribution–The development of ‘green logistics’ among small and medium-sized enterprises in Poland is still not recognized by researchers. The paper is a valuable addition to this research gap Keywords:green logistics, SME, classification tree. JEL Classification:L21, M20, Q50

Abstract. Despite the high prevalence of hypovitaminosis D in older adults, universal vitamin D supplementation is not recommended due to potential risk of intoxication. Our aim here was to determine the clinical profiles of older community-dwellers with hypovitaminosis D. The perspective is to build novel strategies to screen for and supplement those with hypovitaminosis D. A classification tree (CHAID analysis) was performed on multiple datasets standardizedly collected from 1991 older French community-dwelling volunteers ≥ 65 years in 2009–2012. Hypovitaminosis D was defined as serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D ≤ 50 nmol/L. CHAID analysis retained 5 clinical profiles of older community-dwellers with different risks of hypovitaminosis D up to 87.3%, based on various combinations of the following characteristics: polymorbidity, obesity, sadness and gait disorders. For instance, the probability of hypovitaminosis D was 1.42-fold higher [95CI: 1.27–1.59] for those with polymorbidity and gait disorders compared to those with no polymorbidity, no obesity and no sadness. In conclusion, these easily-recordable measures may be used in clinical routine to identify older community-dwellers for whom vitamin D supplementation should be initiated.

Durant la période de confinement, la chaîne d’approvisionnement de la filière nucléaire a pleinement joué son rôle. Mais en sort-elle renforcée ? Si l’expérience acquise par les différents acteurs de la supply chain va lui offrir plus de robustesse, les difficultés économiques rencontrées par les autres filières industrielles, comme l’automobile ou l’aéronautique, risquent de fragiliser des acteurs essentiels à la filière nucléaire.

Changement Climatique

Le changement climatique est le défi mondial majeur le plus urgent. Afin d’atténuer la tendance actuelle, l’Union européenne (UE) a fixé des objectifs ambitieux qui nécessitent un effort de tous et de tous les secteurs, énergétique en particulier. Une chaîne d’approvisionnement nucléaire solide et diversifiée peut aider l’UE à atteindre ses objectifs climatiques. Harmoniser la chaîne d’approvisionnement nucléaire européenne et assurer aux États membres de l’UE la possibilité d’utiliser des composants modernes de haute qualité fabriqués pour d’autres industries permettra d’amplifier le processus. FORATOM1 a précisément analysé la supply chain nécessaire à cette ambition.
