Business analysis and further development possibilities of “WEIS A” LLC.
No full textVairāk kā 10 gadus pēc uzņēmuma dibināšanas, siltumnīcu pārdošanas uzņēmums SIA “Weis A” atvēra savu metāla konstrukciju ražotni. Lai novērtētu pēdējā laika izmaiņas uzņēmumā, bakalaura darba mērķis ir veikt SIA “Weis A” saimnieciskās darbības analīzi un identificēt iespējamos tālākās attīstības virzienus. Saimnieciskās darbības analīzes veikšanai autore izmantoja finanšu koeficientu analīzi, PESTLE, SVID un Portera 5 spēku metodes un salīdzinošo novērtēšanu. Pētījuma gaitā noskaidrojās, ka ražošanas uzsākšana uzņēmumam gan nodrošināja priekšrocību pār konkurentiem, gan atklāja vairākas uzņēmuma vājos punktus. Bakalaura darba apjoms ir 77 lapas, kas satur 7 attēlus, 20 tabulas, 15 formulas, 1 pielikumu un 44 izmantotās literatūras avotus.

To assess the changes that have happened in the company, a research was conducted with the aim of performing “Weis A” LLC business analysis and identifying further development possibilities of the company. To perform business analysis, the author of this paper applied following methods: financial ratio analysis, PESTLE, SWOT, Porter 5 forces method and benchmarking. In the research it was discovered that opening of its own factory gave company not only a huge competitive advantage, but also highlighted its weaknesses. This paper consists of 77 pages, including 7 pictures, 20 tables, 15 formulas, 1 annex and 44 sources of information.

Auswertung von Therapien mit den TNF-α-Antagonisten Infliximab und Adalimumab sowie dem Proliferationshemmer Mycophenolat Mofetil bei Patienten mit Sarkoidose
No full textSteroidrefraktäre Sarkoidosepatienten wurden im Therapieversuch mit Biologicals behandelt. Eingesetzt wurden die TNF-α-Antagonisten Infliximab und Adalimumab sowie der Proliferationshemmer Mycophenolat Mofetil. Es wurde die Wirksamkeit dieser Therapeutika in Bezug auf Verbesserung der Lungenfunktion (Vitalkapazität), des Röntgen-Scores und der Fatique Symptomatik bei Sarkoidose überprüft. Bei allen drei Therapeutika konnte eine positive Wirksamkeit mit unterschiedlichem Niveau erzielt werden. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse müssten in einer randomisierten Phase-III-Studie bestätigt werden.von Eric Weis

Effect of the Degree of the Gate‐Dielectric Surface Roughness on the Performance of Bottom‐Gate Organic Thin‐Film Transistors
No full textIn organic thin‐film transistors (TFTs) fabricated in the inverted (bottom‐gate) device structure, the surface roughness of the gate dielectric onto which the organic‐semiconductor layer is deposited is expected to have a significant effect on the TFT characteristics. To quantitatively evaluate this effect, a method to tune the surface roughness of a gate dielectric consisting of a thin layer of aluminum oxide and an alkylphosphonic acid self‐assembled monolayer over a wide range by controlling a single process parameter, namely the substrate temperature during the deposition of the aluminum gate electrodes, is developed. All other process parameters remain constant in the experiments, so that any differences observed in the TFT performance can be confidently ascribed to effects related to the difference in the gate‐dielectric surface roughness. It is found that an increase in surface roughness leads to a significant decrease in the effective charge‐carrier mobility and an increase in the subthreshold swing. It is shown that a larger gate‐dielectric surface roughness leads to a larger density of grain boundaries in the semiconductor layer, which in turn produces a larger density of localized trap states in the semiconductor
Continuous local martingales and stochastic integration in UMD Banach spaces
No full textRecently, van Neerven, Weis and the author, constructed a theory for stochastic integration of UMD Banach space valued processes. Here the authors use a (cylindrical) Brownian motion as an integrator. In this note we show how one can extend these results to the case where the integrator is an arbitrary real-valued continuous local martingale. We give several characterizations of integrability and prove a version of the Itô isometry, the Burkholder-Davis-Gundy inequality, the Itô formula and the martingale representation theorem.Delft Institute of Applied MathematicsElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc

Thomas Merton\u27s Gethsemani: Landscapes of Paradise
No full textFor twenty-seven years, renowned and beloved monk Thomas Merton (1915-1968) belonged to Our Lady of Gethsemani, a Trappist monastery established in 1848 amid the hills and valleys near Bardstown, Kentucky. In Thomas Merton\u27s Gethsemani, dramatic black-and-white photographs by Harry L. Hinkle and artful text by Merton scholar Monica Weis converge in a unique experience for lovers of Merton.
Hinkle was allowed unprecedented access to many areas inside the monastery and on its grounds that are generally restricted. His photographs invite the reader to experience the various knobs, lakes, woods, and hermitages Merton sought out for times of solitude and contemplation and for reading and writing. These unique images, each accompanied by a passage from Merton\u27s writings, evoke personal reflection and a deeper understanding of how and why Merton came to recognize himself as a part of his Kentucky landscape.
Woven throughout the book, Weis\u27s text explores Merton\u27s fascination with nature not only at Gethsemani, but during his early childhood, throughout his spiritual conversion to Roman Catholicism, and while a member of the Trappist community. She examines how Merton\u27s lifelong interaction with nature subtly revealed and informed his profound spiritual experiences and his writing about contemplation. Thomas Merton\u27s Gethsemani replicates Merton\u27s path on his solitary hikes in the woods and conveys the wonder of the landscapes that inspired him.
Harry L. Hinkle is a fine art photographer in Lexington, Kentucky.
Monica Weis, SSJ, a Sister of St. Joseph, is professor of English at Nazareth College in Rochester, New York.

Make notifications great again: learning how to notify in the age of large-scale vulnerability scanning
No full textAs large-scale vulnerability detection becomes more feasible, it also increases the urgency to find effective largescale notification mechanisms to inform the affected parties. Researchers, CERTs, security companies and other organizations with vulnerability data have a variety of options to identify, contact and communicate with the actors responsible for the affected system or service. A lot of things can – and do – go wrong. It might be impossible to identify the appropriate recipient of the notification, the message might not be trusted by the recipient, it might be overlooked or ignored or misunderstood. Such problems multiply as the volume of notifications increases. In this paper, we undertake several large-scale notification campaigns for a vulnerable configuration of authoritative nameservers. We investigate three issues: What is the most effective way to reach the affected parties? What communication path mobilizes the strongest incentive for remediation? And finally, what is the impact of providing recipients a mechanism to actively demonstrate the vulnerability for their own system, rather than sending them the standard static notification message. We find that retrieving contact information at scale is highly problematic, though there are different degrees of failure for different mechanisms. For those parties who are reached, notification significantly increases remediation rates. Reaching out to nameserver operators directly had better results than going via their customers, the domain owners. While the latter, in principle, have a stronger incentive to care and their request for remediation would trigger the commercial incentive of the operator to keep its customers happy, this communication path turned out to have slightly worse remediation rates. Finally, we find no evidence that vulnerability demonstrations did better than static messages. In fact, few recipients engaged with the demonstration website.Accepted Author ManuscriptOrganisation & Governanc
