Selection Of

The previous economic and social elite lost its influence after the World War II. They were chased, sentenced to prison and many of them were tortured to death. The Commun-ist Party's local members were appointed to be managers of large estates and factories. They were the so called „worker directors". Their tasks were the dismissal of the previous managers and the launch of the planned-economy. Large estates were parceled in 1945. In the ages 1950 the owners of these parceled lands established farmers' co-operative. Some well-functioning manors were transformed to large state farms. The selection of executives was based on how loyal to the Communist Part they were. Because of these, the produc-tivity of the agriculture and the industry declined.

Abstract Purpose: To study whether the incidence of bladder cancer in an industrialized area in ​​North-Eastern Spain remains as high as in the nineties.Methods: Patients diagnosed with histologically confirmed primary bladder cancer, during 2018-2019, in an area in North-Eastern Spain (430,883 inhabitants) were included. Crude incidence rates were estimated per 100,000 person-year based on the number of individuals getting their first diagnosis. Direct age-standardized incidence rates were calculated applying both the European and the World Standard Populations.Results: 295 patients were included (mean age 72.5±10.3 years; 89.8% men). The crude rate was 62.6 (95%CI:55.0-70.1) for men and 6.8 (95%CI:4.4-9.3) for women. The annual rate adjusted to the European Standard Population was 85.3 (95%CI:75.0-95.5) for men and 7.0 (95%CI:4.5-9.5) for women, and adjusted to the World Standard Population, 31.7 (95%CI:27.9-35.5) and 2.9 (95%CI:1.8-3.9) respectively. Conclusion: The incidence of bladder cancer in this area in ​​North-Eastern Spain is one of the highest in men and one of the lowest in women, both in Europe and Worldwide. The decrease in the industrial activity has not led to a decrease in bladder cancer incidence. The heterogeneity of bladder cancer registries in terms of definition and inclusion criteria makes it difficult to compare results.

This chapter examines the recent changes to the Vietnamese Civil Code and its impact on contract formation and third party beneficiaries. Since the enactment of the first modern civil code in 1995, major revisions have been made every ten years with the 2015 Code repealing more than 50 per cent of the 2005 Code; representing more than 300 articles of the 2005 Code. Concepts like apparent authority were only recognized in 2005, while the notion of an offer to the world (rather than to specific parties) was only recognized in 2015. The 2015 Code was a product of the move from a planned economy to a socialist-oriented free market economy. The challenge of the Code was to address state interest and regulatory concerns to modify the norms of contractual freedom found in the Code.

The most important changes that relate to North Korea in 2005 were the great strides in the inter-Korean relationship and the economic ““reform”” since 2002, which grafts ““profit maximization”” to the heart of what is arguably the most rigid planned economy the world has ever known.

The first day you [to another teacher] were talking about some way you did things differently in Ireland. It never occurred to me. I thought there was a world standard.

Abstract I have not gone into compounding and testing results on polyisoprene and polybutadiene. As you well know, they are widely used in the rubber industry. From a technical standpoint, we know we can replace natural rubber with cis-polyisoprene. However, the profitability of the process is closely tied to the availability of isoprene monomer and the price ratio of cis-polyisoprene and natural rubber. Sometimes the economics is favorable and sometimes unfavorable. Consequently, polyisoprene expansion is slow in the Free World. In the Communist countries, however, the planned economy is pushing ahead with polyisoprene—projections for 1985 are for 817 000 metric tons versus 227 000 metric tons in the Free World. Is there a possibility of an entirely new synthetic rubber that will be the equal of polyisoprene, but more economical? Is there a blend of elastomers that will replace natural? Is there a chance the economics of polyisoprene might become more favorable? Certainly the answers pose a challenge to those of us in research. We cannot sit back and say we have reached the ultimate, for the world of the tire is constantly changing, and we must be able to meet the change. The work reported here could not have been carried out without the invaluable contributions of my colleagues at BFGoodrich. I wish to especially mention: Jim Shipman and Jack Kiehl for the early infrared work and claiming that I was trying to fool them with my first copolymer; Vern Folt, the enthusiastic section leader for the early project ; Earl Carlson, who elucidated the conditions for making trans-polyisoprene and trans-polybutadiene ; Dave Craig for supplying the pure isoprene for the early work; Bob Minchak and Harold Tucker for some of the cobalt studies and titanium studies; Harvey Scott for the cobalt chloridealuminum chloridethiophene catalyst; Ed Wilson and M. Reinhart for compounding studies; Waldo Semon and Carlin Gibbs for directing it all and allowing us such a free hand; Floyd Miller, who did such an outstanding job of scaling the process directly from a 50 g lab recipe to production size runs; and the numerous, capable technicians who have worked for me— they are the unsung heroes of the laboratory work. Let me say again how highly honored I feel to receive this award. I am accepting it for all at BFGoodrich, for it was truly a team effort.

Low Performance

PT APCB is an electronics company that produces electronic device components called Narrow Shaft. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the maintenance activity in a pre-turning machine by measuring the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) level. The OEE level is obtained based on the Availability, Performance, and Quality Rate of the pre-turning machine maintenance activities. In addition, the purpose of this study is to identify the causes of the ineffectiveness of pre-turning machine maintenance activities and provide improvement suggestions for maintenance effectiveness at PT APCB. Based on the results of the calculation of the OEE value it is known that the PT APCB company still has not reached the world standard of 85%. This shows that the company still has to improve maintenance activities in the pre-turning process. The calculation of OEE value shows that the lowest OEE level in February 2016 was 48.31%, while the highest OEE level in September 2016 was 83.23%. The low performance of the pre-turning machine process was due to the ineffectiveness of maintenance activities which were caused by 14 factors. The primary causal factor with the highest value is the bar feeder problem with the highest request frequency value of 250.
