Character Animation und User Experience Design für eine Virtual Reality-Schulung in Herz-Lungen-Wiederbelebung
No full textDie Bereitschaft bei einem Herzstillstand Erste Hilfe zu leisten nimmt ab. Im Jahr 2019 führten nur 39% der Notfallzeugen eine Herzdruckmassage durch, 3% weniger als noch im Jahr davor. (Nur ein Drittel hilft mit Herzdruckmassage, 2019) Sofortige und qualitativ hochwertige Wiederbelebungsmaßnahmen können jedoch die Überlebenschancen des Patienten verdoppeln bis vervierfachen. Vor allem der Einsatz eines Defibrillators innerhalb der ersten 3–5 Minuten nach dem Kollaps kann die Überlebenschancen auf 50–70 % erhöhen. (Perkins et al., 2015) Um die Bereitschaft zur Ersten Hilfe im Falle eines Herzinfarktes zu erhöhen, wurde in Kooperation mit der secova GmbH & Co. KG eine Virtual Reality Schulung mit Fokus auf hohe User-Experience entwickelt, in welcher der Anwender in die Rolle eines Notfallzeugen schlüpft. So soll dem Nutzer das richtige Vorgehen auf spielerische Weise nahegebracht werden

The Impact of Commoditization on Competitor Landscapes and Measures to Win the Power Play (A case study of vitamin D3 industry)
No full textSynthetic vitamin industry is commoditizing. Vitamin companies should be aware of the commoditization phenomenon in order to stay competitive. By knowing the right strategy, vitamin producers can retain market share and still maintain profit in a commoditizing market. There is an increasing competition from the new entrants. Most of them are coming from Asian countries with the advantage of lower production cost. As a result, they oversupply the market with lower price products and change the product value proposition. They take incumbents’ market share gradually, starting from the mass market. This thesis utilized qualitative approach to examine the problem. The author conducted interviews with representatives from BASF to provide internal perspectives, and BASF’s customer to provide external perspective. In order to assess the countermeasure that has been done by other companies, comparative case studies was deployed. Vitamin C industry case study was used as a base to understand the commoditization in vitamin D3 industry. As a result, similar commoditization pattern can be seen in vitamin D3 industry. However, vitamin D3 industry is not commoditizing at the same pace as vitamin C industry due to different market size and complexity of production. In the formulation stage, commoditization rate of vitamin D3 product depends on the product form. The strategies to face commoditization revolved around the aspects of positioning, relationship, image, efficiency, pricing and innovation
The influence of zinc sulfate in the fermentation rate of cider under homebrewing conditions
No full textOBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to first determine the effectiveness of zinc sulfate at concentrations of 0.5 and 1 PPM (Parts Per Million) on the fermentation rate of yeast when brewing cider under homebrewing conditions and to compare it to commercial yeast nutrient. Zinc is an essential mineral for the production of alcohol as it is a co-factor in alcohol dehydrogenase, the enzyme responsible for alcohol production in yeast. The general consensus of zinc levels needed for yeast fermentation is 0.4 – 1.07 PPM (Nicola and Walker, 2011).
METHODS: Data was collected using a refractometer of the brews. There were five brews in total, one with yeast nutrient, two with zinc sulfate at 0.5 PPM and two at 1PPM along with their controls.
RESULTS: A total of 25 brews, in five groups of five, were performed. The results showed that supplementing the yeast with commercial yeast nutrient significantly improved the fermentation rate, while zinc sulfate at 0.5 and 1PPM showed no significant difference when compared to the controls.
CONCLUSIONS: While a certain level of zinc is needed for fermentation, this study did not find supplementing homebrew cider with zinc sulfate to significantly improve the fermentation rate in comparison with control brews. When compared to yeast nutrient, zinc sulfate was not found to improve the fermentation rate. In order to consider whether or not supplementing zinc can improve fermentation in homebrewing, more studies must be conducted with different factors taken into consideration such as the yeast variant, the juice used and the initial concentration of zinc compounds in the juice

No full textBusiness Diversification through honey production and marketing: An analysis of Gamerschlagshof GmbH, Xanten
No full textOver the past century, by the evaluation of the business, business diversification has a significant part in any business sector, especially in agribusiness sectors. The study's primary goal is to review business expansion through honey production and market analysis of Gamerschlagshof GmbH. The data were collected from the study area. A beekeeper was interviewed for getting necessary data to determine the costs and profit of honey production and review to expand the honey business. Sixty consumers were randomly selected to interview for getting market information of honey.
The results show that the beekeeper owned 18 beehives and earned 2852.32 euro as a gross profit per year. It indicates that this business is potential for the future, and it is an excellent opportunity for honey business in the study area based on socioeconomic context and some unique features of the farm. The beekeeper identifies some obstacles, and they have implications for some solutions also. Finally, the reacher has given some recommendations to expand the honey business in Gamerschlagshof GmbH.
Keywords: Business diversification, Honey, Production and marketing honey, Profitability, challenges, and opportunities
