Abstract This study seeks to define the role of corporate brands in achieving business excellence by conducting a field study on the agencies of Algerian mobile operators “Mobilis” and “Djezzy” in the state of Djelfa where the questionnaire has been used for the collection of opinions sample (45 employees) and then processed with the statistical program (SPSS). The results have shown that there is high awareness of corporate brands and business excellence. We have also found that the two dimensions of corporate brand (strategic vision, stakeholder image) affect the business excellence, whereas the organizational culture does not affect it. The results have also demonstrated that corporate brands as a group explain 47 % of the variation in business excellence, while the difference test have demonstrated that the awareness of the sample about “corporate brands” is not different according to the company but the awareness of the business excellence is in favor of the company “Mobilis” at the expense of the mobile operator “Djezzy”.

The City

For some time now, following the constitutional reform, the debate on the metropolitan city has been reignited. The topic has been at the centre of attention given that cohesion policies attribute to metropolitan cities a key role in planning and the constitutional reform seems to have given an answer to the spending review which wipes out the provinces and formally identifies the European Strategy under the form of a programmatic suitability of intermediate metropolitan level. This level should counterbalance the municipal egoism which provides a distorted interpretation of subsidiarity which has marked planning since the revising of Title V. Very few are acquainted with the implications and complexities of these entangled mechanisms which will fail if all conditions are not met whether they be effective, nominal or opportunity related. This explains why the term Metropolitan City is preferred to conurbation, agglomeration or metropolitan area. Metropolitan Area and City do not coincide the area is in a portion of territorial recognition which entails attractive and competitive factors, the city is identified as such only if within the territorial organization that explains why the creation of both must be ensured: the city must be promoted in terms of competition, with or without a demographic dimension, by fostering the shared political project and by creating relational and productive conditions to attract and offer services and what else is necessary. What makes the difference is how to build and what to build. The strategy and the role of the future Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria and Messina stem from two different regulations and from the attempt to integrate interregional functions through the project I put forward: the strategic corridor platform of the Straits area. The platform is a non-confined territorial dimension which encompasses the two metropolitan cities and shares relational functions and understandings with the vast territory. It fully exploits the possibilities and available reforms in order to organize and provide the territory with competitive and functional dimensions so as to compete in Europe and in the Mediterranean. The prototype-project, the first part of the study has already been published, fosters an idea of governance and urban system which will devise, through future cohesion policies and multidimensional strategies, a single strategic vision of the territory able to dialogue at a local and Euro-Mediterranean level with the new scale economies and meet the challenges of 2020-2050. Without going into detail, the project proposes and organizes the intangible functions of the Area (new assets and networking) so as to satisfy the demand for services and infrastructures physical and non-physical (functional and international indicator).

The present study focuses on determining the difference among the levels of emotional maturity and self- concept of low, moderate and high users of internet. Two dimensions of emotional maturity have been studied in the research viz-a-viz Emotional Instability and Personality Disintegration. For the purpose of the study, a sample of 100 participants were selected which consisted primarily of students between the age group of 17-24, considering the fact that an individual’s personality has been shaped and the self-concept of individuals in this age group may/may-not be affected due to external variables. After the data collection, the results showed that low internet users will have lower emotional instability, lower chances of personality disintegration and lower self-concept. Moderate users were seen to be having a positive correlation between Emotional instability and Personality Disintegration and negative correlation with respect to self- concept and High users of Internet were seen to be having Higher Emotional Instability, Lower personality Disintegration and Low self-concept. Mean, Standard deviation and Pearson Product movement correlation was used to analyze data and bar graphs and line graphs were used to interpret data.

The Difference

AbstractWe explore the migration-trade nexus in the case of Germany over the period 2000-09, disentangling the two dimensions of intra-industry trade (vertical and horizontal). We find that immigration is positively and significantly related to intraindustry trade. However, the magnitude and statistical significance of migration’s impact on trade are considerably higher for horizontal intra-industry trade and increase with the difference in the level of development between Germany and the partner countries. This pattern is consistent with the view that information flows between migrant communities and their country of origin may be more important for consumer goods (where trade in varieties prevails) and that this information effect is more important if trading countries are very different.

The purpose of the present study was to examine the role of grammatical and semantical constraints in linguistic strings functioning as maskers. 12 college age, normal hearing, native speakers of English, served as subjects. Three conditions of 25 words with grammatical strings as competing speech, 25 words with semantically anomalous strings as competing speech, and 25 words with ungrammatical strings as maskers were assessed in a treatment-by-subjects analysis of variance. A critical difference test indicated that the difference lay between the mean articulation scores for the semantically anomalous strings and the grammatical and ungrammatical strings. Thus, subjects' performance when the semantically anomalous strings functioned as the masker was depressed relative to performance under the other two conditions of competing speech. These results appeared to be centered around the concepts of attention (familiarity of masker), probability and information content of the masker, and constituent analysis.

The role of SMEs in the economy of a country, including Indonesia, cannot be underestimated. For example, in the Netherlands, SMEs constitute 98.8% of existing companies and absorb 55% of the workforce. A total of 35 million US dollars of Italian exports is the contribution of SMEs that absorb 2.2 million workers. In Vietnam, 64% of the workforce is absorbed by SMEs. The same thing happened in Indonesia. One application of ICT and the internet in the field of business and trade is electronic commerce (e-commerce). The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of e-commerce on improving the performance of SMEs. Sample to be studied is Small Business Medium in Cilacap, Indonesia. This study uses quota sampling that will be taken a sample of 30 units of SMEs. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling Analyzed performance difference is the performance of SMEs in the show with two dimensions of the increasing number of sales and number of relations, Analysis using statistical program package. Based on the results of the research can be concluded that e-commerce has a positive effect on performance SMEs. This is shown by the increasing sales and relationships of SMEs. More sales will increase the income that the end is the welfare of SMEs.

Dekkers and de Lang (1977) have discussed a practical method of realising differential phase contrast in a STEM. The method involves taking the difference signal from two semi-circular detectors placed symmetrically about the optic axis and subtending the same angle (2α) at the specimen as that of the cone of illumination. Such a system, or an obvious generalisation of it, namely a quadrant detector, has the characteristic of responding to the gradient of the phase of the specimen transmittance. In this paper we shall compare the performance of this type of system with that of a first moment detector (Waddell et al.1977).For a first moment detector the response function R(k) is of the form R(k) = ck where c is a constant, k is a position vector in the detector plane and the vector nature of R(k)indicates that two signals are produced. This type of system would produce an image signal given bywhere the specimen transmittance is given by a (r) exp (iϕ (r), r is a position vector in object space, ro the position of the probe, ⊛ represents a convolution integral and it has been assumed that we have a coherent probe, with a complex disturbance of the form b(r-ro) exp (iζ (r-ro)). Thus the image signal for a pure phase object imaged in a STEM using a first moment detector is b2 ⊛ ▽ø. Note that this puts no restrictions on the magnitude of the variation of the phase function, but does assume an infinite detector.

In Vitro Uptake

In vitro uptake of 67Ga-citrate and 59Fe-citrate by DS sarcoma cells in the presence of tumor-bearing animal blood plasma showed a dramatic inhibition of both 67Ga and 59Fe uptakes: about ii/io of 67Ga and 1/5o of the 59Fe are taken up by the cells. Subcellular fractionation appears to indicate no specific binding to cell structures, and the difference of binding seems to be related to the transferrin chelation and transmembrane transport differences

Ideal Dielectric

Within the ground penetrating radar bandwidth the medium is considered to be an ideal dielectric, which is not always true. Electromagnetic waves reflection coefficient conductivity dependence showed a significant role of the difference in conductivity in reflection strength. It was confirmed by physical modeling. Conductivity of geological media should be taken into account when solving direct and inverse problems, survey design planning, etc. Ground penetrating radar can be used to solve the problem of mapping of halocline or determine water contamination.

A human-centred approach to the environment is leading to ecological collapse. One of the ways that speculative realism challenges anthropomorphism is by taking non-human things to be as valid objects of investivation as humans, allowing a more responsible and truthful view of the world to take place. Brian Willems uses a range of science fiction literature that questions anthropomorphism both to develop and challenge this philosophical position. He looks at how nonsense and sense exist together in science fiction, the way in which language is not a guarantee of personhood, the role of vision in relation to identity formation, the difference between metamorphosis and modulation, representations of non-human deaths and the function of plasticity within the Anthropocene. Willems considers the works of Cormac McCarthy, Paolo Bacigalupi, Neil Gaiman, China Miéville, Doris Lessing and Kim Stanley Robinson are considered alongside some of the main figures of speculative materialism including Graham Harman, Quentin Meillassoux and Jane Bennett.
