Analýza perspektivy vedoucích prodeje na řízení pojišťovacích agentů v etnicky různorodých zastoupeních v Organizaci G, Malajsie.
No full textCílem této práce je odhalit klíčové faktory a výzvy spojené s řízením etnicky různorodého pojišťovacího zastoupení v oboru životního pojištění v Malajsii. Autor si klade za cíl zkoumat pohled vedoucích prodeje v Organizaci G v Malajsii na jejich způsob řízení agentů. Kombinované kvantitativní a kvalitativní metody budou použity prostřednictvím průzkumu a rozhovorů se 79 agenty a 12 vedoucími prodeje. Odpovědi budou analyzovány za účelem porozumění výzvám, kterým čelí vedoucí prodeje při řízení etnicky různorodého zastoupení, a zkoumat potenciální řešení. Autor navrhuje iniciativy a metody k posílení stylů vedení a zlepšení procesů pro udržení úspěšného zastoupení v kontextu etnické rozmanitosti.The goal of this thesis is to uncover the key factors and challenges in managing an ethnically diverse insurance agency in Malaysia's life insurance industry. The author aims to examine the sales managers' perspective in Organisation G, Malaysia, regarding their expression of managing their agents. Quantitative and qualitative methods will be employed through surveys and interviews among 79 agents and 12 sales managers. The responses will be analysed to understand the challenges sales managers face in managing a multi-ethnic agency and explore potential solutions. The author proposes initiatives and methods to enhance leadership styles and improve the processes for maintaining a successful agency in the context of multi-ethnicity

Fracture toughness at cryogenic temperatures of ultrafine-grained Ti-6Al-4V alloy processed by ECAP
No full textThis research is focused on a study of the relationship between mechanical behavior, microstructure and fracture toughness of a Ti-6Al-4V alloy in both coarse-grained (CG) and ultrafine-grained (UFG) conditions. The UFG state with a primary alpha-phase grain size, but with different orientations with respect to the testing direction, was produced by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) after thermo-mechanical treatment. Fracture toughness and mechanicaltesting were conducted at a temperature of 196 °C. A duplex UFG structure formation in the Ti-6Al-4V alloy led to an enhancement of yield stress and a decrease in the fracture toughness at -196 °C by comparison with the CG alloy. The lowest values of fracture toughness were observed in a sample in which there were elongated grains lying parallel to the loading direction during testing compared to the situation where the grains were perpendicular to this direction.The reasons for the reduction in fracture toughness in the UFG Ti alloy are discussed

On the equation V * G = ΕV
No full textThis note uses some recent powerful tools related with semidirect products V W of pseudovarieties of semigroups, particularly when the second factor is the pseudovariety G of all finite groups, to give syntactic proofs of equalities of the form V G = EV, where EV denotes the pseudovariety consisting of the finite semigroups whose idempotents generate subsemigroups from V. Subpseudovarieties V of DS are considered, including all subpseudovarieties of LI, DA, DS itself, and J, the latter providing a new proof of a result of Henckell and Rhodes. 1. Introduction Since the publication of Eilenberg's treatise [13], motivated by earlier developments stemming from applications in computer science, the theory of finite semigroups has evolved mainly in the form of their classification in pseudovarieties. For later developments, see the introductory book by Pin [23] and the first author's book [1]. From the early beginnings, several operators on pseudovarieties associated with natural operator..
Snubbed Landmark: Why United States v. Cruikshank (1876) Belongs at the Heart of the American Constitutional Canon
No full textUnited States v. Cruikshank (1876) is an unacknowledged landmark of American constitutional jurisprudence. Cruikshank, not the far more famous Civil Rights Cases, limited the Fourteenth Amendment to protect only against state action; Cruikshank, not the notorious Slaughter-House Cases, narrowed the Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to exclude rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights; Cruikshank, not the canonical Washington v. Davis, announced that the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause protected only against provably intentional race discrimination; and Cruikshank, not the Civil Rights Cases or City of Boerne v. Flores, first excepted the Fourteenth Amendment from the general principle that Congress enjoys discretion to select the means of implementing its constitutional powers. Historically, if the argument of this Article holds true, Cruikshank played a crucial role in terminating Reconstruction and launching the one-party, segregationist regime of “Jim Crow” that prevailed in the South until the 1960s. The circuit court opinion of Justice Joseph Bradley unleashed the second and decisive phase of Reconstruction-era terrorism, while the ruling of the full Court ensured its successful culmination in the “redemption” of the black-majority states.
Despite its enormous jurisprudential and historical importance, however, Cruikshank has been omitted from the mainstream narrative and pedagogical canon of constitutional law. The results have been obfuscation and distortion. Unlike the Civil Rights Cases, Slaughter-House, Davis, and City of Boerne — from which students learn the principles actually announced in Cruikshank — Cruikshank lays bare the true origin of those principles in affirmative judicial intervention immunizing overtly racist terrorism against effective law enforcement. By contrast, Plessy v. Ferguson, the legal profession’s chosen focus for confession and atonement, merely let stand the legal product of a white supremacist state government that owed its existence to Cruikshank. With Cruikshank safely off stage, American law students are treated to a happy tale of progress from Plessy to Brown starring the Supreme Court as the primary protector of civil rights — a role that, ironically, the Court carved out for itself by truncating Congress’s civil rights powers in Cruikshank. Add Cruikshank, and the entire narrative shifts in ways that upset time-honored notions in the dimensions of federalism, separation of powers, popular constitutionalism, and class.Peer reviewe

Constructing Tychonoff G-spaces which are not G-Tychonoff
No full textAbstractJan de Vries' compactification problem is whether every Tychonoff G-space can be equivariantly embedded in a compact G-space. In such a case, we say that G is a V-group. De Vries showed that every locally compact group G is a V-group. The first example of a non-V-group was constructed in 1988 by the first author. Until now, this was the only known counterexample. In this paper, we give a systematic method of constructing noncompactifiable G-spaces. We show that the class of non-V-groups is large and contains all second countable (even ℵ0-bounded) nonlocally precompact groups. This establishes the existence of monothetic (even cyclic) non-V-groups, answering a question of the first author. As a related result, we obtain a characterization of locally compact groups in terms of “G-normality”
