The Corus Maintenance centre of excellence within the works units
No full textIn dit verslag wordt een onderzoek naar de optimale implementatie van maintenance engineering processen binnen Corus IJmuiden beschreven. Het doel van de optimalisatie van het maintenance engineering proces is er voor te zorgen dat de maintenance engineer zo goed mogelijk gaat bijdragen aan het verschuiven van correctief- naar preventief onderhoud aan de productie-installaties binnen Corus IJmuiden. Het resultaat daarvan zal zijn dat onder andere de productie-installatie beschikbaarheid en betrouwbaarheid verhoogd worden. - This report describes an investigation on the implementation of maintenance engineering within the working units of Corus IJmuiden. The aim of the implementation of maintenance engineering is to optimize the shift from corrective maintenance towards preventive maintenance of the production-installations at Corus IJmuiden and thus to be able to find a better balance between these two. The results of this will, amongst others, lead to an increase of the installation availability and reliability.Mechanical, Maritime and Materials EngineeringMarine and Transport TechnologyTransport Engineering and Logistics (TEL

Emotional Certainty and Health Communications
No full textAt risk individuals tend to avoid information that might perturb their sense of security. I propose certainty appraisal as an important emotional dimension that affects health message processing and persuasion. Specifically, I suggest that emotions high on certainty appraisal can provide confidence to cope with the insecurity instigated by threatening health communications.
Five studies are proposed to demonstrate the interaction of certainty appraisal with two health message characteristics: vulnerability to threat and response efficacy. Studies 1-3 provide evidence that when a health threat is highly self-relevant uncertainty related emotions impede processing whereas certainty related emotions facilitate it. Studies 4-5 show that individuals who are feeling uncertain prefer to attend a high efficacy message as it offers reassurance via useful recommendations.
The findings extend affect regulation theories to involve emotional uncertainty as a state to be "repaired" by avoiding further deterioration or striving for restoration.Ph. D
The effects of anticipated goal-inconsistent behavior on present goal choices
No full textPrior work has examined how, in the pursuit of long-term goals, past goal behavior influences present goal choices. Instead, the present work focuses on how anticipating future goal behavior, specifically future goal-inconsistent behavior, influences present goal choices. For example, how anticipating overspending on an upcoming vacation influences current spending behavior. The authors propose that the effect of anticipated goal-inconsistent behavior on present goal choice is moderated by the perceived changeability of the future behavior. When future goal-inconsistent behavior is perceived as changeable, consumers tend to imagine it away, and it has no systematic effect on present goal choices. However, when future goal-inconsistent behavior is perceived as unchangeable, consumers accept it as a matter of fact, and systematic effects occur. Specifically, some consumers not only fail to buffer against future goal-inconsistent behavior\u27s negative consequences, but tend to exacerbate those consequences by increasing their goal-inconsistent behavior in the present. Four studies examine this surprising behavior, using an individual difference (the response-to-failure scale) to identify when and for whom it occurs. The studies demonstrate the role of perceived changeability using various manipulations across multiple critical goal domains such as spending, eating, and academics
Critical Literacy Programs: Can Business Literacy be a Catalyst for Economic and Social Change?
No full text While literacy is widely believed to be a driver of well-being and economic development, the actual performance of many literacy programs fails to deliver on these promises. Many existing literacy programs are based on an autonomous model of literacy, which assumes that literacy skills are ideologically neutral and can be easily applied, regardless of the social context. Yet literacy practices are socially constructed and can serve to reinforce the status quo and existing interests or these practices can be used to challenge inequities and inspire social change. An ideological model of literacy is used to critique a range of literacy programs that employ livelihood training and various forms of business literacy. Finally, the role of business literacy practices as an impetus for change is explored. </jats:p

No full textExploring spatial vulnerability: inequality and agency formulations in social space
No full textDue to copyright restrictions, the access to the full text of this article is only available via subscription.The authors derive from critical urban geography and consumer research on vulnerability to investigate the ways in which vulnerability within social space is shaped and negotiated. Multiple power dynamics and ideological tension around the production and consumption of social space are explored through diverse examples within the contexts of spaces of consumption, public space as shared good and digital space. The authors offer a conceptualisation of spatial vulnerability and a framework to understand, critique and transform socio-spatial disadvantages. The spatial perspective offered in this article illuminates the ways in which marketplace vulnerability can be institutionalised and become pervasive through and within spaces of everyday life. Yet, the creative and radical potential of social space in managing spatial disadvantages is also explored along with theoretical, managerial, public policy and practical implications
