Hello, good morning. Here are eight opportune regional business indicators. 1- Consumer segmentation. 2-Analysis of the purchase situation. 3-Analysis of direct competition. 4-Analysis of indirect competition. 5-Analysis of complementary products and services. 6-Analysis of neighboring industries. 7-Analysis of foreign markets. 8-Analysis of the environment.

Dear Fikrat M Hassan , this is the fine upcoming event.

International programme of workshops and debates brings together government ministers, university leaders, innovators and students to set a new agenda for how higher education can help accelerate the global transition to net zero...

One crucial issue is policy that is operated at national levels. Some developing counties see sustainable development as more of a talk show and are yet to put out right policy that would address the issue or they design policies that are contradictory in nature and would not give desired outcomes that promotes sustainable development.

Good Q

You can use several indicators such as the availability of natural resources, the existence of natural processes, the efficiency of natural resources, the effectiveness of natural processes, and … to evaluate it. There are also numerous working frameworks and methods in this regard.

Yes I agree, transitions and shifts in other stages of the food chain (cf. processing, distribution, consumption) need to be considered together. A transition in India has also been observed. India is second largest producer of food grains, fruits and vegetable crops. Record food grains of 285 million ton produced during 2017-18 and per capita availability of foods have increased from 169.8 kg/year (2015) to 176.8 kg/year (2018) but consumption of foodgrains have decreased to 147kg/year because of increased awareness for nutritious food and paying capacity people are demanding different kinds of foods fruits, vegetables, milk, chicken, meat, fish etc. It is also an example of transistion and shifts.

Dear colleagues

I would be grateful if someone could provide me with any information about questions below.

-When it will be the first evaluation of the indexed journals in the ESCI (Emerging Sources Citation Index)  to a possible transference to SCIE (Science Citation Index Expanded)?

-Is it possible those journals indexed in ESCI (since 2015) will be included to SCIE in 2018 and, consequently, included to JCR (Journal Citation Reports), receiving an impact factor in 2018?

Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.

Please see the attached link which redirect you to a paper of mine. You might find it interesting.

Write on derivatives, bitcoin, impact of oil price crisis, impact of US and North Korea diplomatic issues, etc.

Dear Neda,

Choosing the right method depends on the characteristics of your problem. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) - comment of Mr.Mehdi. This is very important. You have to understand your work and the different

vulnerability assessment methods, their advantages/disadvantages etc. Based on that you should select the method.

Many researchers have used 'Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)'. Also explore the AHPDST Vulnerability Indexing Model. (DST- Dempster–Shafer theory). Read the attached paper - you will get idea.

Compared to general entrepreneurship, in export entrepreneurship, there can be many constraints and external forces which are beyond the control of the entrepreneur. Especially, influence of macroeconomic factors and the economic stability may be critical

Take a look at the lessons learned from this article I wrote:  “Guiding Change as President of the Board of Trustees:  Learning from the Liminal Drama of It All,” Journal of Business Anthropology, Special Issue 2, Spring 2016: 105-137. 

How are you thinking of 'the community'?  Are they an audience who might be interested in what you are researching, a population who might be directly affected by your findings immediately or in the long term, a source of data for your research who will therefore be entitled to know the outcomes?  There is a lot of literature on how knowledge can be co-constructed with communities if that is your aim, but obviously it requires a very different approach to research.  Think about how much power you want to give other people over your work - for example, if a group disagreed with your interpretation of a focus group discussion, would you agree not to publish it but only to publish an amended version they approved?  

It would help to know your discipline - if you want to co-construct knowledge or have  visible impact in a limited timescale, it's probably easier for a social scientist, local historian or public artist than for a physicist (though still not easy or direct!)  How long are you prepared to wait for your research to become effective?

Most people who work in this area think that a first step is getting the community themselves to identify the issues, so your research question and methodology emerge from their view.  This may well be the key to finding research impacts which are not externally imposed, and therefore likely to be effective - but they require you to relinquish much of the agenda setting to others.  Risky and no guarantee of success, but hugely satisfying when it works!

 Dear Prof. Murat,

Thank you so much.

Hi Mayda-

I have some suggestions.

You can start wit the W3C. This organization tends to be technocentric, but it does provide some information on accessibility metrics that you might find valuable:

I would definitely use WebAIM's accessibility tools to help calculate some metrics:

Here are some other reading suggestions for accessibility metrics:

Hope this helps. I can provide you more citations if you need them.

Sincerely,

Shari Thurow

Surely answer is region as well as crop specific ..and it goes down further to soil specific . Most important is have such an information . One possible method could be to identify the crop , look at those major production centres , try to locate the major soils in those areas . But , such exercise will be limited only to these issues. To get soil test -based fertilizer recommendation for a given crop  , i am afraid , not that simple...

Economic growth is different from the economic development. They are measured with indicators used in development economics. The economic growth can be measued with the variation in the Gross Domesctic Product (GDP), the Gross National Product (GNP) and/or the National Revenue. Efficiently, economic development growth is measured with the variation in the Human Development Indicator (or Index) (HDI). The economic development can also be measured with the poverty indexes (P0, P1 and P2), and the inequality indexes, such as the Gini Index.

According to my research palm oil is used to produce variety of plastic products in Malaysia. It is a great achievement with so much demand and feasible and economic trend.

The history of the term "Quaternary" is well explained above by Mr. Dill. So in an old way of earth creation classification, Quaternary was the fourth phase, and maybe the etymology is from Italian language "Quarto".

Arduino was firs to use it, when studying the geological cross section of north Italia observed four kind of rocks, which began from ultramaffic rocks (primary) to recent unconsolidated depositions (fourth or quarto).

The acceptance of this concept was very difficult, but at the end the Quaternary is the only therm survived by the fourth class classification.

Today is accepted than Quaternary begin 2.6 million years before now, and is subdivided into Pleistocene -2.6Ma to 11.7 ka, and Holocene from 11.7Ka until present.

The main characteristic is the appearance of Homo Sapiens during this geological Period and the glacial inter-glacial oscillation during Pleistocene (four significant).

Quaternary deposition are deposition that belong to this period, younger of which belong to Holocene. Quaternary landslides is a therm that I encounter for the first time, but I believe they are actual and active landslides and that this must be the correct terminology. I don't believe a landslide can be collected with an entire geological period, as we can do it with tectonic activity.

But it must be in the concrete framework. if they are some landslides, created by sea level rise during the Holocene transgression, you can use a term like Holocene landslides, but the correctness of this term is to be evaluated.

 

 

Dear Michael Mies, 

Thank you, I will look it up.

I think Springer supports for open access publication in Springer only and not for other publishers like Intech open access, etc. Is not it?

Absolutely agree with Hemlata, above; and with Peter, that researchers "..do stuff.."---with the aim of consolidating, and sometimes furthering knowledge in their field; otherwise, there's no point "..doing stuff..".

Its good to pick up RCA directly from WITS for "quick" research or first look at the data. But there are different measures of RCA, so its depends on your research question and whether you would like to take export and imports into account, or just exports . Then, I would prefer to construct them by yourself in Excel or some other software.

Dear Lilian. The project ended in 2015, but low-carbon transition is a topic which we still are working with. We focused on clothing in one part of the project because we wanted to address the impact on energy consumption from the interaction between production and consumption within a practice area (clothing). Other parts of the project focused empirically on smart grid, LED, bio-energy, mobility, and housing. I have attached the final reporting to the funding agency. It includes a list of the publications from the project. Please do not hesitate to ask further questions about the project and our analyses, findings, etc.

I also think you should also look at inequality measures. Differences in degree of inequality both relative and absolute may prove to be good proxies

One of the most important answers to my questions is your answer, Mr Amir, so I respect  your responses and take it into account

Thanks 

Impact factor measures how much are papers in a particular journal cited. Papers in natural sciences are simply more cited. You can read more about it the blog below. For example:

“Only” 12% of medicine articles are not cited, compared to about 82% (!) for the humanities. It’s 27% for natural sciences and 32% for social sciences (cite).

Thank you very much, the paper is helpful.

One way is to increase the productivity of agriculture. GMOs could be one way but that is not the only way. Cultivation techniques, crop rotations, soil amendments, complete use of agri-products (integration of bio-products into larger economy such as medicines, industries, and fuels), expansions of growing areas (marginal lands, urban spaces, etc.) and novel crop choices are some more ways. If you can make more, and more useful, agricultural products you will have economic growth.

Waiting for some more answers....Please Please..

thanks Laurie for your great answer

Good question! As a very rough rule of thumb, 20 seems to be a good score, in the sense that if your article gets an Altmetrics score of 20 or more, then it is getting more public attention than most other articles. However, the number is very sensitive to context. For instance, I could imagine that your research results could easily be presented in a way that would generate public interest and thus potentially get high Altmetric scores but would also have to compete with other high-scoring articles in the field. In contrast, I would be happily surprised if any of my pure maths articles were to get an Altmetric score of more than 0. It is therefore worth looking more closely at the Altmetric details of a particular article: the Altmetric data gives a detailed rundown of who was interested in your article and also how it is ranked in comparison with other articles in general, other articles from the same source, other articles of the same age, and so on. If your article gets more attention than 99% other articles from the same field, then that is worth bragging about, regardless of the particular Altmetric score.

I think its best you go through review material on the subject matter so that you see what others have done and the area of application. That will serve as a guide for you to decide which one will best suit what you intend to do.

Check the attached material also.

Dear Aiman

I agree with David, what you plan to do is something unusual. The value of qualitative research is to go deeper into a specific topic. It seems to me that one possibility might be to study the perspective that different employees and managers have on "earnings quality" and how to measure it. This way you could do several in depth interviews. You could contrast how various positions in the organizational structure look at the topic.

Jorge

Hello guido

I am sorry. I have no information on this aspect.

Indians always join the trend late. Its neighbour like Maldives and Mauritius have taken a lead in tourism. India has much to offer but must get out of its house in order- cleanliness public toilets, security, affordable hotels for tourist to land in India.

On top of the agenda is its people and hospitality Industry need to be trained at least in MTC (Malaysian Tourism Board) to handle such a lucrative industry.  

For your student work 2015 should be OK too. It  actually focus es on the method of using the value. It takes atleast 3-5 years to get these values free. In the mean time you have to pay for it. It used by consultants who can afford to pay the subscription.

Thank you Valentina. I later came to understand that cost efficiency indices from Frontier 4.1c software are greater than one due to the nature of error term (v+u)

I completely agree with Marcel, besides it gets harder to find respected international journals to publish case reports due to the high flow of manuscripts.  Try some journals specifically printing case reports.  Unfortunately many of these journals require payments to publish unless the case is very interesting. 

Case reports are left mostly to local journals, which may prevent some very interesting cases and approaches to be missed by international readers. 

For an advice, be meticulous when writing case reports, and try to include excellent pictures or diagrams in order to be preferred.    Use the most recent literature in the field.

Good luck.

I hope you find something in my article as attached. I will be very glad to have your feedback accordingly. Rgds

Mahmud, you should also be mindful because those are the conditions that predatory journals will propose to you. Stavros is right about your conditions being a hard find.

The ability to measure what KPIs accurately identify interactions within supply chain networks to track environmental impacts on stakeholders becomes a critical Green Supply Chain Management Tool. Based on my initial research I identified the following Environmental Supply Chain KPIs:

KPI Critical Path = Cost Reduction>Customer Demand>Current and Future Regulations>Risk Avoidance

Once measured how do you quantify KPI measurements and how does it translate along the Critical Path? Has any organization successfully done it and if so has it been published? As Multinational Organizations strive to develop best in Class Practices in Sustainability how can you validate it's true worth? How can you identify the effort as window dressing, benchmarking or Best Environmental Management Practices (BEMPs) based on the data? 

Dear friends, 

Thanks for your participation. Actually, I am not asking about methods for analyzing a specific research problem. I, rather, want to know about the common methods that are used by practitioners of monitoring and evaluation of development programs and projects. As we know, there are numerous statistical and econometric methods, it is very interesting to work on those methods that are applicable to impact evaluation of projects and programs. There is one book by world bank, but it is not very rich in statistical terms. If you have experience in monitoring and evaluation, please share your experience with us. It may also be very helpful if you can share the types of outcomes you are interested to measure so that we can guess of an appropriate statistical method.

Thanks for your cooperation in advance.

Regards,

I would recommend you two main points:

(1) The contribution of your research should be clear in your article. you have to explain in detail what is your research question, why the others have not or could not answer it, and how you are going to solve it.

(2) When your data or your case study is from a developing country, it should be considered that making your results to be expandable. Your findings should be interesting (and also applicable) for readers from another countries.

Here is an example of publication from a developing country to a prestigious American journal:

hello

would you please clarify your request?

Thanks

my dear, i agree with firoz

Policy instruments impact heavily on sustainable manufacturing principles and practices if they are not consistent. But how can the policies on sustainable manufacturing be consistent? They cannot because one or the other principles of sustainability: Economy, Society and ecology is weakly founded.

Take the example of Climate Change. Several billion dollars have been poured into saving the Earth from the vagaries of climate change. Marching in comes a DENIER of climate and out goes the policy on Climate Change. Look deeply into the consistency factor.

Dr. Mirza Arshad Ali Beg 

Thank you Dr. Mangiafico for your guidance. I will explore all the possibilities.. 

Dear Mohammed,

I believe in a wider perspective. Broaden your range. the more you research, the more you realise how different disciplines converge. I speak especially for the Arts, which are a result of human activity. And yes, you can do both. start on a specific problem. Your sources will lead you to other aspects, other disciplines.

concept of sustainability

Like Mark Twain said, 'predictions are difficult, especially about the future'.

Nevertheless, the trends are there: have a look at the country data in this site, which are based on long term records by the national met services ( not really suspect of data manipulation, I think). You'll see that Europe is a prime place to observe climate change... and hence to be concerned about carbon emissions...

They also record impacts on several important features or activities, such as agriculture, extreme events ( flash foods, etc...), forest fires, etc... Quite telling in my opinion, but maybe not in yours.

And I'll stop it here, because I guess the only point on which we can agree on this topic, is to disagree!

I don't think a control group is relevant. It's more important to consistently compare the studies by adjusting their results for the different methodologies used. Often the only way is to obtain original data from the authors, but that is difficult in my experience :)
