Abstract. The usual quantitative study of inter-state war and peace tallies observations on hundreds, sometimes thousands, of dyads or pairs of states. These observations miss elementary features of inter-state relations that should be examined when testing Realist explanations of war and peace. The way in which three prominent studies (Bremer, 1992; Bueno de Mesquita, 1981; 1985) chose to count the Seven Weeks War dramatically reveals the theoretical difficulties when tallying dyads. Re-analyses of these studies demonstrate the sensitivity of the results to particulars of 1866 Germany and, more importantly, illustrate the merits of analyzing the dispute rather than the state dyad or the state-dyad year.Résumé. L'étude quantitative des périodes de guerre et de paix entre États comptabilise des observations relatives à des centaines, parfois des milliers de dyades ou paires d'États. Ces observations ne prennent pas en compte certaines caractéristiques élémentaires des relations entre États qui devraient pourtant être examinées lorsque l'on teste les théories réalistes expliquant guerre et paix. La manière dont trois études reconnues (Bremer, 1992; Bueno de Mesquita, 1981; 1985) ont choisi de comptabiliser la guerre des Sept Semaines révèle de manière éclatante les difficultés théoriques dans la comptabilisation des dyades d'états. De nouvelles analyses de ces études ont démontré la sensibilité des résultats aux caractéristiques de l'Allemagne de 1866, mais soulignent surtout les mérites de l'analyse des disputes par rapport à l'analyse des dyades d'États ou des dyades d'États annuelles.

The discussion on coastal hotels' green products is usually one-sided, with a focus on supply or on demand. In this investigation, authors perceive the way both sides think concerning to green products and to what extent exists a correspondence. Supported in a quantitative study in a coastal hotel sample and in another qualitative and quantitative study on a sample of tourists, two models are tested. The results suggest that coastal hotel green strategies should be more market-centric than just complying with regulations. The tourist model permitted to perceive that tourists who are more sensitive to environmental issues are willing to pay more and recommend green hotels, but this relationship should be better understood by coastal hotel decision makers to align their green strategy and communication.

Age Range

A mixture modelling technique is applied to age-specific frequency distributions of quantitative results from serological surveys for measles, mumps and rubella using samples collected across the age range in England and Wales in 2000. In accordance with previous studies the analysis suggests that the antibody response to natural infection is stronger than that produced by vaccination, that vaccine-induced antibody levels wane with time and that levels of vaccine-induced antibody response vary for each virus infection being strongest for rubella and weakest for mumps. The current mumps epidemic in the United Kingdom is focused in cohorts born during 1982–1987 who were too old to have received routine MMR vaccination. In the cohort born in 1981–1985 the model estimates that 7·5% have no evidence of mumps specific IgG and 24·9% have the lowest level of detectable antibody. The similar proportions of mumps antibody in these categories among cohorts with opportunity for 1 or 2 doses of vaccine is a concern, as the degree to which these individuals are protected is unclear. Investigations into the efficacy of two doses of a mumps containing vaccine should be a priority during the current epidemic.

In considering the kinetics of the simpler hæmolytic systems, we have already dealt at some length with one form of inhibition—that shown by serum in conjunction with saponin or one of the bile salts as a lysin (1, 2). This form of inhibition is that which has been most widely studied, and is one of great importance, for it has been shown that the inhibitory properties of serum are possessed by hæmoglobin, and that these properties must be taken into account when dealing with the percentage hæmolysis curves for such a substance as saponin (3). Other substances than serum, however, inhibit the action of saponin and the bile salts, and besides these, there is the class of substances wnich produce an acceleration of hæmolysis; no quantitative study of these has yet been made, and since we cannot proceed farther with the kinetics of simple hæmolytic systems without a knowledge of the way in which these accelerating and inhibiting substances produce their effect, this paper will be devoted to a quantitative study of some of the reactions involved. The phenomena to be studied fall into two classes. In the first we have those substances which produce an inhibition of hæmolysis, such as certain bases and sugars. The inhibitory action of members of this group is quite different from that shown by serum. In the second group are those substances which accelerate hæmolysis, such as most acids. One other class of acceleration can be added—that produced by serum when added in a certain manner to a hæmolytic system containing one of the bile salts; this phenomenon, however, we do not propose to consider in this paper, as its investigation presents special difficulties.

The internet meme is a recent phenomenon in the mass media industry, but its etymological route can be traced back over 4 decades, when evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins decided to coin a “monosyllable that sounds a bit like ‘gene’”. Memes carry the prolific characteristics of a parasite, and can be as common as a catchphrase. This aspect of memes has revolutionized the way content is consumed on digital platforms, and therefore the advertising of content on such platforms This research examined how recognizability, humour and shareability each impact meme virality. This research found positive correlations between recognizability and virality, humour and virality; and shareability and virality.

The 4.0 industrial revolution in business changed the way of working, including changes in the work patterns of employees, who had to work at office to work at home using the internet, called as telecommuting employees. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of financial compensation and flexibility of working hours provided by e-commerce companies on the performance of their telecommuters. In this quantitative study, it was released that the financial compensation variable based on the T test had a coefficient of 0.126 and Sig. 0.195, which means there is no influence between financial compensation and telecommuting employee performance. As for the second independent variable, the flexibility of working hours based on the T test has a coefficient of 0.607 with Sig. 0,000, which means that employee flexibility is very influential in employee performance.

Competitiveness is outside modernity in all sectors of society. The execution of tasks has become too complex due to the problems brought by the integration of globalization as a synonym for competition. Undoubtedly, the way to respond to the complexity of the current environment is through the integration of work teams that can be efficient; And the only way to guarantee success is by supplementing the few personality traits developed with the well-worked skills of other team members. Therefore, this research developed a quasi-experimental study in 62 people; to demonstrate that work teams formed by eneatypes or personality traits, obtained by the enneagram map test, are more efficient than traditional equipment. The main contributions to the knowledge gap of this research are: demystification of the enneagram; demonstrating through a quantitative study that the participants obtain better results when working in teams formed with enneagram; participants have a positive perception about enneagram; and using the tools of neuroscience it is proved with physiological data that the theoretical precepts of enneagram are correct.
