The Geographical Factors on the Failure of Bricklin Canada Limited

Williamson, Shawn 04 1900 (has links)
<p> This research paper investigates the factors on business failure in the Maritime region of Canada via a sample study of Bricklin Canada Ltd. This sample illustrates· the effects of regionalism and geographic location on the manufacturing industry. This company's failure will be examined as how it arose from reasons including geographic isolation, regional disparities, externalities, scale economies and external forces. A study of this particular industrial failure will lend insights regarding the needs of future regional policy. Although businesses from these marginalized regions of Canada have realized success, there are still a great many steps yet to take. A means must be found to reintroduce a self-sustaining economy to these regionalized areas of Canada where it is lacking. </p> / Thesis / Bachelor of Arts (BA)

Aspectos geográficos e epidemiológicos da hanseníase em Cuiabá e Várzea Grande - MT / Geographical and epidemiological aspects of Hansens disease in Cuiabá and Várzea Grande - MT

Santos, Emerson Soares dos 31 May 2012 (has links)
A hanseníase é um importante problema de saúde pública nas cidades de Cuiabá e Várzea Grande. O coeficiente de detecção para as duas cidades, em 2010, era de 6,97 casos por 10.000 habitantes, o que caracteriza a forte presença endêmica da doença nesta área. A hipótese é de que os casos de hanseníase estariam agrupados, formando focos de contato e disseminação relacionados ao ambiente geográfico e fatores sociais e econômicos. Com isso, se objetiva analisar a distribuição espacial e os aspectos epidemiológicos da doença sob a perspectiva da Geografia. Trata-se de um estudo ecológico, tanto do ponto de vista da metodologia proposta por Maximilien Sorre quanto pelo seu delineamento epidemiológico, utilizando técnicas baseadas em Análise Espacial de Dados Geográficos e Análise Multivariada de Dados. Foram georreferenciados os casos de hanseníase registrados em Cuiabá e Várzea Grande entre os anos de 1999 a 2010, e posteriormente submetidos a testes estatísticos de dependência espacial entre casos, de existência de focos espaciais e de áreas de risco, e da possível influência de fatores sócio-econômicos e ambientais na presença ou ausência deste risco. Os resultados indicam a formação de focos endêmicos durante o período do estudo, cuja distribuição está condicionada a fatores sócio-econômicos e às formas de uso-ocupação da terra no ambiente urbano, mas esses fatores têm graus de influência diferentes dependendo da escala de análise. Na escala do bairro, o risco relativo esteve relacionado com a existência de domicílios com muitos moradores em áreas com média a alta densidade de casas, baixos percentuais de cobertura de saneamento básico e baixa renda. Nesta escala, o saneamento básico é o principal fator com maior poder de explicação entre as variáveis estudadas, e já na escala do setor censitário, não é um fator com grande poder explicativo e sem significância estatística, tendo na alfabetização e uso da terra os principais fatores explicativos. / The Hansens disease is an important public health problem in the cities of Cuiabá and Várzea Grande. The detection rate for the two cities in 2010 was 6.97 cases per 10,000 inhabitants, which characterizes the strong presence of endemic disease in this area. The hypothesis is that Hansens disease cases were grouped together, forming foci of contact and dissemination related to the geographical environment and social and economic factors. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze the spatial distribution and epidemiological aspects of the disease from the perspective of the Geography. It is an ecological study, both from the standpoint of the methodology proposed by Maximilien Sorre as for its epidemiological design. The techniques used are based on Spatial Data Analysis and Multivariate Data Analysis. The Hansens disease cases registered in Cuiabá and Várzea Grande from 1999 to 2010 were geocoded, then submitted to statistical tests for spatial dependence among cases, existence of spatial foci and risk areas, and the possible influence of socio-economic and environmental factors in the presence or absence this risk. The results indicate the formation of endemic foci during the period of study, and the distribution is conditioned by socio-economic factors and forms of land-use in the urban area, however these factors have different grades of influence depending on the scale of analysis. In neighborhood scale relative risk was related to the existence of houses with many residents in areas with medium to high density of houses, low coverage of basic sanitary services and low income. In this scale, basic sanitary services is a major factor with the greatest explanatory potential between the studied variables, however in the census tract scale, it is not a factor with great explanatory potential and it is not statistically significant, being the literacy and land use, the principal factors of explanation.

Vliv klíčových faktorů dynamiky vývoje sněhové pokrývky v podmínkách Šumavy / Effect of key factors on dynamics of a snow cover evolution in Šumava Mts. conditions

Fliegl, Ondřej January 2013 (has links)
Master thesis is concerned with the subject of a snow cover dynamics (focused on snow melting) and of the detailed analysis of each physical-geographic factors effect on its character. Knowledges published in the domestic and foreign scientific literature are confronted with the data acquired within a number of expeditionary snow monitoring campaignes carried out during winter periods 2011/2012 a 2012/2013 in headwaters of rivers of Šumava (Šumava Mts., southwestern Czechia). Mobile field survey was done in a number of time horizons within the broadly conceived research in the upper Otava River basin concentrated on the assessment of the retention potential in headstream areas.
