Study on the key success factors for developing attire of healthful materialWang, Kai-sen 03 June 2009 (has links)
Human beings¡¦ attire evolves, starting from having the functions of providing comfort and keeping warm in the primary stage, and then it is for looking good and fashion; then, attire becomes the symbol of demonstrating personal taste, fashion and social identity; finally, it evolves into the tendency to demonstrate personal value¡X the value performance of health tendency, environmental protection appeal, and green consumption. As the era evolves, consumers¡¦ demand and preferences have different tendencies. Under the planning of market segmentation, aiming at the attire materials based on health appeal, we hope to understand further: in such an era with fast changes in upgraded techniques, consumers¡¦ preferences and prices, what factors make consumers choose and buy? Hence, when companies are making product and marketing plans further, they can make them exquisite and conform to trendy fashion. Therefore, this study has explored the key success factors aimed at developing attire of healthful materials.
Through questionnaire surveys for experts and scholars on the study of the key success factors aimed at developing attire of healthful materials, this study had made two times of analyses of AHP verification and statistics, in order to verify and extend the gained results by AHP. The study results in the second time have been adopted, and the following viewpoints have been proposed at the same time:
1. As for the study on the key success factors for developing attire of healthful materials, through two times of AHP data analyses, this study is of the opinion that the key factors are the six items: ¡§physiological comfort¡¨, ¡§functionality capability¡¨, ¡§manufacturing quality and craft techniques¡¨, ¡§style and design, ergonomics¡¨, ¡§user experience¡¨ and ¡§price¡¨.
2. In the evaluation indicators chosen for the third-layer reference plan in the structure of this study, when the direction is based on developing attire of healthful materials, obviously silk material is superior to organic cotton, while organic cotton is superior to bamboo-carbon fiber.
3. Under different considerations, silk material possesses considerably large advantage in the four key factors: ¡§physiological comfort¡¨, ¡§manufacturing quality and craft techniques¡¨, ¡§user experience¡¨ , and ¡§declaring personality and personal value¡¨. Organic cotton also possesses considerable advantage in the factors of ¡§style and design, ergonomics¡¨, and ¡§brand¡¨. Bamboo-carbon material has advantage of product development in the three items: ¡§price¡¨, ¡§trendy fashion¡¨, and ¡§functionality capability¡¨.

Online Brand Perception : Functionality and Representationality in the Printer Manufacturing IndustryLarsson, Jenny, Törnqvist, Maria January 2005 (has links)
<p>Background and problem: As Internet usage has become increasingly common and important in our society it is crucial for companies to acknowledge the impact of online branding. As differences between products are decreasing it is no longer sufficient to compete solely on price or quality. Thus the importance of brands and branding is increasing. Even though branding is a heavily research topic, almost all research has been performed with consumer markets in mind, more or less ignoring industrial markets. This is done in spite of most markets being predominated by industrial firms.</p><p>Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how printer manufac-turers’ online brand messages can be perceived regarding functional benefits and representational satisfaction, and how this may affect the examined brands.</p><p>Method: To fulfil our purpose we chose to conduct a qualitative method, since this would provide us with in-depth answers. To structure our study we created a questionnaire to use as an analysical tool for our examination of the selected companies.</p><p>Conclusions: The conclusions drawn from this study are that printer manufacturers mainly emphasise the functional factors of their products to a large extent. Further, almost all brands of our sample can be perceived to be augmented ones. Of the few companies with highly developed brands, those with separate web sites for business and consumer buyers were in majority. Finally, since most printer manufacturers stress functionality the added-value of their brands is not as sustainable as it could be.</p>

Wissenschaftliche Schriftenreihe "Eingebettete, selbstorganisierende Systeme" / Scientific Series "Embedded Selforganising Systems"23 April 2013 (has links)
Diese neu ins Leben gerufene Schriftenreihe widmet sich einer sehr aktuellen Thematik der Technischen Informatik, den eingebetteten, selbstorganisierenden Systemen (ESS). Seit Jahren durchdringen eingebettete Systeme unseren Alltag in fast allen Lebensbereichen. Angefangen von automatisierten Türöffnungssystemen, über komplex gesteuerte Servicemaschinen, z.B. Waschmaschinen, bis hin zu mobilen, persönlich zugeordneten Systemen wie Mobiltelefone und Handheld-Computer sind eingebettete Systeme zu Selbstverständlichkeit geworden. Neue Anforderungen durch den Kunden, der in immer kürzeren Zeitintervallen Neuerungen erwartet und steigende Festkosten für die Einrichtung einer Produktlinie haben einen neuen Aspekt in den Entwurf und Betrieb eingebetteter Systeme gebracht: Selbstorganisation. Einzelaspekte der Selbstorganisation können Selbstdiagnose, Selbsttest, Selbstheilung oder auch statische sowie dynamische Rekonfigurierung von Systemen sein. Dabei sind die Aspekte der Funktionalität und der Kommunikation zu unterscheiden. Beide haben großen Einfluss auf die Performanz und Stabilität eines eingebetteten Systems. Im Bereich der Kommunikation sind die Schnittstellen, die Komponenten des eingebetteten Systems verbinden, von besonderem Interesse. / This newly launched book series addresses a very current subject of computer engineering, embedded selforganising systems (ESS). For years, embedded systems permeate our everyday lives in almost all areas of life. Ranging from automated door opening systems through complex controlled service machines, e.g. Washing machines, to mobile, personally associated systems such as mobile phones and handheld computers, embedded systems have become for granted. New requirements by the customer, who expected changes in shorter time intervals and rising fixed costs of setting up a product line have brought a new aspect in the design and operation of embedded systems: selforganisation. Individual aspects of selforganisation may be self-diagnosis, self-test, self-healing or static as well as dynamic reconfiguration of systems. The aspects of the functionality of communication are distinguished. Both have great influence on the performance and reliability of an embedded system. In the field of the communication interfaces of the embedded system are of particular interest.

Die fisieke vermoëprofiel van 10-17-jarige atlete met fisiese gestremdhede / P. HumanHuman, Petro January 2008 (has links)
According to research (Maher et al. 2007:450), participation in physical activity have health-, psycological, as well as physiological benefits for persons with or without physical disabilities. Participation in physical activity will also lead to improvement of physical fitness. Inactivity is associated with health-related diseases. It is therefore important to improve the physical fitness of athletes with physical disabilities to decrease health risks and to improve their performance in sport.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the physical fitness levels of 10 to 17 year old athletes with physical disabilies, in order to compile physical-ability profiles for spesific classes of participation. A second purpose was to compile exercise recommendations for specific classes of participation to enchance physical ability and reduce health-related diseases. A group (N=83) was selected by the coaches of selected schools in the Free State and Central Gauteng Provinces. Different racial groups [White (n=36), Black (n=46), Coloured (n=l)] formed part of this group. From this group, 56 boys and 27 girls completed the Brockport Physical Fitness Test (BPFT) (Winnick & Short, 1999).
For the analysis of the data, the Statistica for Windows computer package, 2008, was used. The physical-ability profiles indicated that most of the athletes have poor aerobic capacity, muscle strength and leg-, hip-, and trunk flexibility. It is further recommended to include 20-30 minutes of aerobic exercises in the programme. To increase muscle strength, 8-12 repetions of an intensity level of 50 - 70 % of the 1RM, 1 - 2 sets and 1 - 2 minutes rest between exercises is recommended. To improve leg-, hip-, and trunk flexibility it is further recommended to inclode stretching of 15 - 30 seconds. These recommendations will improve components of health-related physical fitness and functionality as well as decrease risks of developing health-related diseases. / Thesis (M.Sc. (Human Movement Science))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2009.

Alternative Search : From efficiency to experienceHenriksson, Adam January 2014 (has links)
Search engines of today are focusing on efficiently and accurately generating search results.Yet, there is much to be explored in the way people interact with the applications and relate to the content. Individuals are commonly unique, with complex preferences, motives and expectations. Not only is it important to be sensitive to these differences, but to accommodate the extremes. Enhancing a search engine does not only rely on technological development, but to explore potential user experiences in broader perspectives - which not only gratifies the needs for information, but supports a diversity of journeys. The aim of the project is to develop an alternate search engine with different functionality based on new values that reflects contemporary needs. The result, Exposeek, is an experiential prototype supporting exploratory browsing based on principles of distributed infrastructure, transparent computation and serendipitous information. Suggestive queries, legible algorithms and augmented results provide additional insights and present an alternative way to seek and peruse the Web. / Search Engines, Interaction Design

An Architectural Dimensions Based Software Functional Size Measurement MethodGencel, Cigdem 01 July 2005 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis study aims to examine the conceptual and theoretical differences of Functional Size Measurement (FSM) methods, to identify the improvement opportunities of these methods and to develop a new FSM method. A comprehensive literature review is performed and two multiple-case studies are conducted as a research strategy. In the light of the results obtained, some improvement suggestions on two of the most challenging improvement opportunities identified for FSM methods are made &ndash / improvement opportunities which are related to the conceptual and theoretical basis of FSM and the extension of the applicability of these methods to different software functional domain types. The work behind these suggestions involves the critical examination of the concepts &ldquo / functionality&rdquo / and &ldquo / functional size&rdquo / and the depiction of &ldquo / types of functionality&rdquo / considering the components of software architecture and the forms of information processing logic performed in different software functional domain types. Based on the suggestions made, a new FSM method, called ARCHItectural DIMensions Based FSM (ARCHI-DIM) is developed conforming to the ISO/IEC 14143-1 standard. A third multiple-case study is conducted in order to evaluate the new method and to identify future directions for FSM methods.
