Yaroshyk, Tatsiana, Temiz, Sinem January 2008 (has links)
<p>The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how a multi-national company can adapt its business marketing strategy to emerging markets.</p><p>The research approach of the thesis was a case study of CCI in Turkey and Kazakhstan to see how the company can adapt it international business marketing strategy to conditions of local market.</p><p>The study was done by identifying of the current situation on the emerging markets and the company and by describing external environment and institutional factors within emerging markets. Analysis of current elements of international business marketing strategy and environmental factors that have affected it was done by applying theoretical framework to the case study. The last step was to give recomendations for the company to adapt or standart international business marketing strategy and importance of analyze external enviromental factors for the international business marketing strategy for the emerging markets. Data for the thesis was collected from primary sources through interviews and secondary data through company’s presentations and articles, internet sources.</p><p>The study showed that CCI enters each new market with standard brand portfolio tries to make adaptations of promotion and communication strategies to conductions of local market and to get external fit which will bring competitive and societal advantages for CCI on those markets where company operates. We have identified number of external environmental factors in Kazakhstan that have a certain influence on CCI’s operations. Economical situation has largely affected CCI’s operations and activities in Kazakhstan. This factor directly affects consumption level and purchasing power and behavior of local consumers. The legislation has obviously affected the company as well, resulting in local production. Cultural issues are also influenced CCI operations in Kazakhstan. That expressed through difference in consumption preferences of local consumers, which were directed aside traditional drinks.</p><p>In the end of the thesis some recommendations are given. Among the most important are – to balance between standart brand portfolio and adapt communication and distribution strategies accorging local enviromental factors; to identify which environmental factors can affect the company, which will require adjustments, and which can be influenced by the company; to effort developing personal relationship with customers, distributors, retailers in order to increase the competitive advantage and gain an increased loyalty among them.</p>

Turczynowicz, Leonid. January 2000 (has links) (PDF)
Includes CD-ROM inside back cover of volume 2. Bibliography: p. 178-222. Aims to identify current risk factors for asthma and to determine which of these factors, at the population level, is associated with asthma prevalence in children in South Australia. In addition, modelling techniques are used to determine which factors are significant predictors of asthma prevalence in 4 to 5 year old children in S.A. Study results show that at the population level, 9 risk factors are significantly associated with lifetime prevalence and 24 factors with period prevalence. Study findings are generally consistent with existing literature.

De uma forma geral, sua ocorr?ncia est? associada a grupos sociais vulner?veis vivendo em ?reas deficit?rias em servi?os de saneamento ambiental e a padr?es de comportamento da popula??o. Al?m disso, altera??es promovidas no ambiente por atividades humanas em diferentes contextos, sobretudo aquelas que afetam diretamente as cole??es h?dricas podem favorecer a instala??o ou manuten??o de focos da doen?a. Desta forma, o presente estudo objetivou analisar os fatores ambientais e sociais associados ? din?mica de ocorr?ncia da esquistossomose no munic?pio de Serro, estado de Minas Gerais. Para tanto, conduziu-se estudo epidemiol?gico, de car?ter descritivo e quantitativo dos casos de esquistossomose ocorridos no per?odo 2010-2014, a partir de dados levantados junto ao Programa de Controle da Esquistossomose de Serro e de entrevistas com a popula??o. Foram identificados 352 casos diagnosticados no per?odo considerado, dentre os quais 104 participaram das entrevistas. Da popula??o total afetada, observou-se ser esta predominantemente masculina (62,78%), em idade economicamente ativa de 15-59 anos (80,1%), com ensino fundamental incompleto (52,8%) e residindo na ?rea rural (81,5%). Dentre os entrevistados, a maioria era natural do pr?prio munic?pio (84,7%), morando na atual resid?ncia h? mais de 20 anos (70%) na qual convivem de 3-6 pessoas (65,4%). A principal forma de ocupa??o s?o as atividades agropecu?rias (48,1%), com a maioria mantendo h?bito regular de fazer exames e consultas m?dicas (62,5%). A maior parte faz uso de ?gua proveniente de nascentes (56,7%) e consideram a ?gua consumida nas casas de boa qualidade (86,5%). A maioria das moradias possui banheiro com vaso sanit?rio (79,8%) destinando o esgoto para fossas secas no quintal ou rede de esgoto da rua (73,1%). ? expressivo o n?mero daqueles que declararam frequentar semanal (90,4%) ou quinzenalmente (79,7%) rios, ribeir?es e c?rregos (74,5%), cachoeiras (13,8%) e a?udes (9,6%) na regi?o, na maioria das vezes mantendo contato com as ?guas para pescar (55,3%), nadar (56,6%) e fazer travessia de caminho (41,5%). A maioria dos entrevistados declarou ter alguma informa??o sobre a doen?a antes de ser diagnosticado infectado (81,7%) e 62,5% n?o retornaram aos servi?os de sa?de para realizar o exame ap?s tratamento medicamentoso. A distribui??o da esquistossomose no munic?pio de Serro esteve significativamente agregada na por??o leste do munic?pio, em ?reas com menor varia??o na eleva??o e declividade, maiores ?ndice de vegeta??o e umidade, associada a ?reas com maior propor??o de domic?lios cujo esgotamento sanit?rio ocorria diretamente em cursos d??gua. Observou-se, ainda, que o maior n?mero de casos da doen?a ocorreu em localidades drenadas por rios da bacia hidrogr?fica do Rio Doce. Diante das particularidades apresentadas na extens?o do munic?pio, principalmente em rela??o ? espacializa??o da doen?a entre as duas grandes bacias hidrogr?ficas do munic?pio (Jequitinhonha e Rio Doce), as informa??es apresentadas podem contribuir para o direcionamento das a??es de controle na escala municipal, seja por meio de estrutura??o sanit?ria e ambiental, ou por meio de orienta??es quanto ao comportamento e exposi??o ?s cole??es h?dricas eventualmente contaminadas por parte da popula??o. / Disserta??o (Mestrado Profissional) ? Programa de P?s-Gradua??o em Sa?de, Sociedade e Ambiente, Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri, 2016. / Schistosomiasis is an neglected tropical disease that affects annually millions of people worldwide. It is caused by Schistosoma mansoni worm that besides the definitive host, depends on the aquatic environment and on the Biomphalaria snails as an intermediate host to complete its life cycle. In general, its occurrence is associated with vulnerable groups living in areas where the environmental sanitation services are deficient and also associated to the population behavior patterns. In addition, changes introduced into the environment by human activities in different contexts, especially those that directly affect the water sources may promote the installation or maintenance of the disease outbreaks. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the environmental and social factors associated with the dynamics of Schistosomiasis occurrence in the city of Serro, Minas Gerais. For this it was conducted an epidemiological study, descriptive and quantitative of the Schistosomiasis cases occurred in the period 2010- 2014, from the data collected by the Schistosomiasis Control Program of Serro and interviews with the population. It was identified 352 diagnosed cases in the considered period, among which 104 participated in the interviews. Considering the total affected population, it was observed the predominance of men (62.78%), in work age of 15-59 years old (80.1%), with incomplete primary education (52.8%) and living in rural areas (81.5%). Among the respondents, most were natural of the municipality (84.7%), living at the current residence for more than 20 years (70%) living together with 3-6 people (65.4%). The main form of occupation is agricultural activities (48.1%), and most of them maintain regular habits of doing exams and having medical appointments (62.5%). Most of the respondents makes use of water coming from springs (56.7%) and consider the water consumed in their houses of good quality (86.5%). Most of the houses have bathroom with toilet (79.8%) intended for dry sewage tanks in the yard or street sewer network (73.1%). It is significant the number of those who reported that go to weekly (90.4%)or once every two weeks (79.7%) rivers, brooks and streams (74.5%), waterfalls (13.8%) and dams (9.6%) in the region, most of the time having contact with the water to fish (55.3%), to swimming (56.6%) and to crossing the path (41.5%). Most respondents claimed to have some information about the disease before being diagnosed infected (81.7%) and 62.5% did not return to health services for the exam after drug treatment. The distribution of Schistosomiasis in Serro municipality was significantly aggregated in the eastern portion of the city, in areas with less variation in elevation and slope, the largest index of vegetation and moisture associated with areas with the highest proportion of households where the sewage occurred directly into the watercourses. It was also noted that the highest number of cases of the disease occurred in places drained by rivers of the Rio Doce basin. Given the particularities presented at the county extension, especially in relation to the spatial distribution of the disease between two large municipal watersheds (Jequitinhonha and Rio Doce), the information presented may contribute to the guidance of the control actions on municipal level, either through health and environmental structuring, or through guidelines on the behavior and exposure to possibly contaminated water sources by the population.

Os dados foram analisados mediante a utiliza??o das informa??es dispon?veis no Sistema de Informa??o de Agravos de Notifica??o (SINAN), Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estat?stica (IBGE), Empresa de Assist?ncia T?cnica e Extens?o Rural do Estado Minas Gerais (EMATER) e Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia (INMET). O estudo apresentou como objetivo geral tra?ar o perfil epidemiol?gico da dengue nos munic?pios de Buritizeiro - MG e Pirapora - MG, entre os anos de 2012 a 2015. Os objetivos espec?ficos foram: a) Investigar a incid?ncia de dengue nos munic?pios de Buritizeiro - MG e Pirapora - MG, entre os anos de 2012 a 2015; b) Quantificar os casos confirmados de dengue nos munic?pios segundo faixa et?ria, ra?a/cor, sexo e escolaridade; c) Verificar a distribui??o espacial dos casos de dengue nos munic?pios, comparando com dados de vari?veis ambientais; d) Conhecer o funcionamento estrutural dos munic?pios no que diz respeito ao enfrentamento da dengue, mediante an?lises dos Planos de Conting?ncia para o Controle da Dengue; e) Subsidiar as secretarias de sa?de dos munic?pios de Buritizeiro - MG e Pirapora - MG com informa??es ajustadas sobre a dengue. ? um estudo quantitativo, longitudinal, com an?lises descritivas e explorat?rias, com dados retrospectivos. No munic?pio de Buritizeiro - MG foram notificados 1.801 casos de dengue e confirmados 641, sendo o maior n?mero em indiv?duos pardos, do sexo feminino, com escolaridade ensino m?dio completo. J? no munic?pio de Pirapora - MG foram notificados 3.267casos e confirmados 1.977, sendo o maior n?mero em indiv?duos do sexo feminino, pardos, com escolaridade ensino m?dio completo. A infec??o ocorreu em todas as faixas et?rias, sendo mais frequentes em indiv?duos de 20 a 49 anos de idade. Os munic?pios de Buritizeiro - MG e Pirapora - MG apresentaram incid?ncias vari?veis durante o per?odo do estudo. O ?ndice de Moran n?o mostrou evid?ncias de agrega??o espacial (I = - 0,018 p = 0,421). A an?lise da incid?ncia da dengue em rela??o ?s ambientais n?o evidenciou correla??o estatisticamente significativa para qualquer das vari?veis (temperatura m?dia diurna: r = - 0,0591, p = 0,7268; temperatura m?dia noturna: r = 0,2126, p = 0,1938; NDVI: r = 0,0219, p = 0,8949). O presente estudo servir? de base para elabora??o de pol?ticas p?blicas regionalizadas visando ? conten??o da dengue na Regi?o de Sa?de de Pirapora, Minas Gerais. / Disserta??o (Mestrado Profissional) ? Programa de P?s-Gradua??o em Sa?de, Sociedade e Ambiente, Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri, 2017. / Aiming to know the epidemiological aspects of dengue in the municipalities of Buritizeiro - MG and Pirapora - MG, which compose the Region of Health of Pirapora / MG, a study of the distribution of the disease in the population was carried out. Data was analyzed using the information available in the Notification of Injury Information System (SINAN), Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), Technical Assistance and Rural Extension Company of the State of Minas Gerais (EMATER) and the National Institute of Meteorology (INMET). The objective of the study was to establish the epidemiological profile of dengue in the municipalities of Buritizeiro - MG and Pirapora - MG between the years of 2012 and 2015. The specific objectives were: a) To investigate the incidence of dengue in the municipalities of Buritizeiro - MG and Pirapora - MG, between the years of 2012 to 2015; B) To quantify the confirmed cases of dengue in the municipalities according to age, race/color, sex and education; C) To verify the spatial distribution of the dengue cases in the municipalities, comparing with data of environmental variables; D) To know the structural functioning of the municipalities with regard to coping with dengue, through analysis of Contingency Plans for Dengue Control; E) Subsidize the health secretariats of the municipalities of Buritizeiro - MG and Pirapora - MG with adjusted information on dengue. It is a longitudinal, quantitative study with descriptive and exploratory analyzes, with retrospective data. In the municipality of Buritizeiro - MG, 1,801 cases of dengue fever were reported and 641 confirmed cases, the highest number in mixedrace individuals, females, with a high school education. In the municipality of Pirapora - MG, 3,267 cases were reported and 1,977 confirmed, with the highest number in females, pardos, with a high school education. The infection occurred in all age groups, being more frequent in individuals from 20 to 49 years of age. The municipalities of Buritizeiro - MG and Pirapora - MG presented variable incidences during the study period. The Moran index did not show evidence of spatial aggregation (I = - 0.018 p = 0.421). Dengue incidence was not statistically significant for any of the variables (mean daytime temperature: r = -0.0591, p = 0.7268, mean night temperature: r = 0.2126, p = 0, 1938; NDVI: r = 0.0219, p = 0.8949). The present study will serve as a basis for the elaboration of regionalized public policies aiming at the containment of dengue in the Health Region of Pirapora, Minas Gerais.
