This paper reviews and analyzes factors contributing to the rise and the fall of football game in Lyari Town. This town has the passion and the talent for football, which should be groomed to produce international players. A model football academy on the pattern of Grêmio (Brazil), Altınordu (Turkey), La Masia (Spain) and INF Clairefontaine (France) is proposed with football- oriented curriculum and international-level-football-training facilities on a green campus. The players are to be inducted at the age of 5 years after rigorous psychological and physical examinations as well as fitness testing. They study and play football here till they pass their Higher Secondary Certificate Examination. Measures are suggested for safety and security at campus as well as use and abuse of controlled substances. A survey was conducted to obtain opinions of footballers, coaches and general public in order to determine causes of decline of football in Lyari. The questionnaire was divided into 3 parts — lack of physical resources, noises influencing football game and shortage of human resources. The responses were indicative of the community‟s strong feeling that Lyarites can become international- standard footballers, if they are given the infrastructure and the facilities combined with motivation to achieve distinction. The proposed football academy should be the first step to change mindset of Lyarities from indulging in drugs and crime to healthy sport activities.

Chapters 1 and 2 made brief reference to a number of potential geographical resources for tourism. Some of these resources are located within the physical environment, such as landscapes, and include coastal area, moorlands and mountains. Others are part of the human environment, including towns and cities and historic monuments – in summary this is usually known as the built environment. These physical resources and human resources are not necessarily located separately but are often found together. For example, a coastal tourism destination has a physical environment which may be made up of a beach, a shoreline, the sea and it could be backed by cliffs. This will be coupled with a human environment of, for example, hotels, restaurants and bars and possibly, a harbour or marina. This chapter considers the physical and human resources for tourism.

This chapter describes how since successful communication with stakeholders is a vital process for every company, it is necessary to consider language and cultural barriers as external factors to internationalize SMEs, that company owners must consider carefully. The language industry is constantly growing and getting stronger to supply business needs and to support SMEs in their internationalization processes. A survey was applied to a sample of Translation Service Providers in order to analyze the physical, digital and human resources they use in their translation processes. It found that they use different state of the art digital resources, they do not really use physical resources frequently (different from dictionaries) and they include proofreaders and experts in different areas as human resources, in addition to specialized translators, in their processes. As a conclusion, Translation Service Providers are getting prepared to support companies and especially to promote the internationalization of SMEs, by helping them break language and cultural barriers.

This study aims to ascertain the influence of the structure and process on the effectiveness of donation of organs and tissues. It is an evaluative, longitudinal study, with a quantitative approach, undertaken in six hospitals of Natal-RN, with 65 potential donors. The data collection instrument was a structured script of non-participant observation. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the application of the Chi-squared, Fisher, and Mann Whitney tests. The effectiveness of donation was 27.7%. No significant difference occurred between structure and effectiveness of donation, however, inadequacies were observed in the physical resources (36.9%), material resources (30.8%), organizational structure (29.2%), and human resources (18.5%). In the process, the phases of maintenance (p=0.004), diagnosis of brain death (p=0.032), family interview (p≤0.001) and documentation (p=0.001) presented significant differences with effectiveness. The adequacy of the factors related to the structure and process is associated with the effectiveness of the donation. Improvement of these indices depends on the speed with which the process is conducted, in addition to the adequate structure.

In accordance with the 1973 Emergency Medical Services Systems Act in the United States, one of the 15 functions to be performed by every EMS (Emergency Medical Services) system is disaster planning. The predicate of success in remediating such a macrosystem challenge as regional disaster planning requires the consensus of multidisciplinary health care and public safety human resources prior to the effective cataloging of physical resources. As the emergency physician is the medical leader of EMS system design and implementation, it is important that he explore newly developing disaster planning methodologies to facilitate consensus disaster planning.

The Relationship

This paper synthesizes five determinants of innovation and productivity of a nation. They are: Human resources and their characteristics, Natural and physical resources and their characteristics, Systems and strategies and their characteristics, Interactions and relationships among above three aspects, and Changes in the above four aspects. Though this paper separately identifies the determinants of innovation and productivity, using them for creating innovation and productivity into a process is complex and dynamic. Hence, for instance, we suggest primarily investigate how the characteristics of human resources in a nation determine its innovation and productivity; or how national reward management of a nation can affect innovation potential of the nation, in consideration of complexity of the relationship among the variables. Further, this study proposes to explore how these five determinants influence each other and work together among them; and/or whether they work collaboratively or competitively. These studies can pave the ways for determining the actual level of innovation and productivity of a nation. This paper, as a base, contributes to that extent.

Abstract Based on the factors affecting sports performance, from a more comprehensive and broad perspective, after consulting the literature, 52 factors that affect the outcome of football matches are selected, including technology, tactics, physical fitness and referees’ penalties. By watching the video of the game, 52 influencing factors of 200 games and 400 teams were counted. The original data was statistically processed with correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis, and the statistics of the 26 European Cup games were substituted into the winning formula. To verify the scientific nature and objectivity of the formula, we aim to ascertain the core factors in the winning factors of a football game and the quantitative relationship between these factors and the result of the game, so as to provide a certain reference for football training, game analysis and scientific research. The technical and tactical ability of individuals and teams is the core competitive ability factor that affects the result of the game; from a single factor, 15 factor indicators have a significant impact on the result of a football match; on the whole, 10 factor indicators have a significant effect on the result of a football match. In addition, there is a certain quantitative relationship between these influencing factors and the results of the game; empirical evidence shows that the football game winning formula has a certain degree of science and objectivity.

Resource Based Theory

Purpose This paper aims to predict a college football team’s competitiveness using physical resources, human resources and organizational resources. Design/methodology/approach Guided by the resource-based theory, the study used archival data of 101 college football teams. The dependent variable was competitiveness (indicated by win-loss records), the independent variables were physical resources (operationalized as home attendance and total revenues), human resources (measured as coaches’ salary and coaches’ experience) and organizational resources (specified as conference rankings and the number of sports). Kendall Tau correlation and binary logistic regression were used to examine the associative and predictive competitive advantages. Findings The binary logistic regression model showed an overall percentage predictive correctness of 71.3%, with a Negelkerke R2 of 41.1% of the variance of all predictors – with coaches’ experience, total revenues and home attendance being the best predictors of generating competitive advantages that produced superior win-loss records. Research limitations/implications The research focused exclusively on physical, organizational and human resources as sources of competitive advantage and not physiological and/or psychological variables. Practical implications College football teams aspiring to be competitive may benefit from this study by applying a three-fold strategy of hiring well-paid high performing and experienced coaches who can increase attendance and revenues. Originality/value The study was unique in two ways – one, it made clear the positive significance of coaches’ experience as a source of competitive advantage, and second, it highlighted the catalytic effects of revenues and attendance in fueling competitiveness.

Purpose: This study investigates the relationships between service efficiency in 5 major cost centres (namely, business orientation, network coverage, physical resources, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), and human resources) and profitability in the global airline industry.Design/methodology/approach: The study integrates the Slack-based Model (SBM) of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with the Alternating Conditional Expectation (ACE) regression to understand the relationships between an airline’s profitability and its efficiencies in 5 identified operations areas.Findings: Based on the observational data obtained from 75 international airlines, the relationships between operational performances and profitability are found to be curvilinear and contingent on an airline’s operating model.Research limitations/implications: The omission of non-IATA airlines and many low cost carriers may hinder a holistic view of the airline industry.Practical implications: Management can influence the profitability of an airline through its strategic operations decisions that affect an airline’s cost, service quality, and financial structure after the influences of location and size have set the stage. Airlines pursuing cost leadership should seek to increase productivity especially in MRO, human resources and physical resources; whereas airlines pursuing service differentiation may choose to provide quality service at lower efficiencies or pursue an approach to improve quality and efficiencies simultaneously.Originality/value: Identifying operations practices that are consistent with a firm’s competitive priorities is important in the multifaceted service environment today. An integrated SBM-ACE regression model, which permits different input-output mix, variable return to scale and non-linear relationship, is proposed and applied to analyze the profit impact of service efficiencies in the five key operations areas.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze a Psychosocial Care Network structure, based on the compromise of its resources and meeting objectives and guidelines recommended in Ordinance 3,088/2011. Method: an empirical, quantitative study with 123 primary care professionals, psychosocial and emergency care, who work at Western Network of the city of São Paulo. Questionnaires and statistical analysis were applied through the Exact Fisher’s test with 5% significance considering p= <0.05. Results: there is compromise of physical resources in the absence of mental health beds in a general hospital (p=0.047); of technological resources in the lack of discussion forums (p=0.036); of human resources in number of teams (p=0.258); and of financial resources (p=0.159). Psychosocial care is the one that most meets the objectives and guidelines. Conclusion: there are insufficient physical, technological, human, and financial resources for the work articulated in the three care modalities that are heterogeneous in terms of meeting the objectives and guidelines.

Aims: Several aspects are associated with the health system. Development in each aspect in health sector is required parallel to the growth of the population of patients. This study was carried out with the intention of investigating the development in physical resources, human resources, and funds allocation for government health system in Sri Lanka. Methodology: This study considered the development within the period from 1987 to 2019. Necessary data were collected from the annual reports of central bank of Sri Lanka. Data for physical resources, human resources, patients, and expenditures were gathered. Parallel developments of these aspects were analyzed by using descriptive and confirmatory techniques: Pearson’ correlation and canonical correlation. Apart from that some graphical techniques and summary measures were also used in the analysis. Results: Number of both in-patients and out-patients has rapidly increased during this period, while expenditure on the health system also has exponentially grown. However, percentage of GDP allocated for health system has remained almost same. There can be seen a reasonable development in both human resources and physical resources. Conclusion: Even though, health system has been developed to a greater extent, developments in some aspects are not parallel to the development in other aspects. However, further development is needed to meet the growing demand for health services due to increasing population of patients.
