Loyalty Programs. Role, Structure and Potential Benefits
No full textA loyalty program consists of an integrated system of marketing activities, aimed at increasing members’ loyalty by rewarding customers according to their purchasing frequency and amount spent. Loyalty schemes, customer clubs and sales promotion techniques are the most common relationship tools used in marketing practice. To join the program and receive a card, consumers must fill in a registration form, providing demographic, behavioural or even psychographic data. Loyalty schemes and customer clubs offer long lasting benefits to participants. Sales promotion techniques can be used both as tools to attract new customers, as well as instruments to stimulate repurchase behaviour. The potential of a loyalty scheme to achieve members depends mainly on rewards value, diversity and timing. Similar, the success of clubs depends on whether customers perceive enough relational benefits according to their personal interests. Although currently, loyalty programs have become very popular, programs effectiveness and implicitly the managerial decision to implement them are determined by different factors, including: homogeneity of supply and products purchase frequency, competition and consumer demand characteristics and the internal environment of the company.Customer clubs, loyalty schemes, relationship marketing, rewards, sales promotion techniques

In the first part of this work there will be outlined Spannbrucker's life and professional career based on elaborate archival research. Special attention will be devoted to proprietors and a patronage of building projects wherein Spannbrucker participated or whereof was an author. In the connection, his work will be brought in contiguity of contemporaneous cultural, socioeconomical and aesthetical notions and relations. In the second part of this thesis there will be pointed out a characteristic and spring of inspiration of Spannbrucker's architecture by means of an accurate formal analysis. Final part will be a catalog of Filip Spannbrucker's works. Filip Spannbrucker, Czech baroque architecture, count František Josef Schlik, Jean Baptiste Mathey, region of Jičí

Towards the cost-benefit function of peripheral vision in sports
No full textPeripheral vision seems especially valuable in dual-task situations that require the pro-cessing of motion-related information, such as sports tasks of monitoring players and ini-tiating a motor response (Williams, Janelle, & Davids, 2004). With a multiple-object track-ing/change-detection dual-task that mimics exactly these demands in a lab setting, we could show that peripheral vision is used for object monitoring and change detection, with particular sensitivity to motion changes in the latter (Vater, Kredel & Hossner, 2016, 2017). In the present follow-up study, we determine how high vs. low visual and attentional de-mands affect performance and gaze behaviour in these dual-task situations.
Fourteen participants were tested in a MOT task that required the monitoring of 4 targets among 10 moving squares for 6 s. As a secondary task, a button had to be pressed if a target stopped moving. Gaze was measured with a mobile eye-tracker (EyeSeeCam, 220 Hz), integrated in a motion-capture system (Optitrack, 200 Hz). In a 2 x 2 experimental de-sign, visual demands (temporary crowding of three “group targets” by three distractors) and attentional demands (collisions between the “group targets” and the frame) were ma-nipulated. Gaze-anchoring distance to the group targets, the percentage of trials with sac-cades to the group targets, as well as tracking and detection accuracy were calculated.
As expected, in the crowd compared to the no-crowd condition, tracking performance was lower, F(1,13) = 103.80, p < .01, ηp2 = .89, and gaze was anchored closer to the group tar-gets, F(1,13) = 13.78, p < .01, ηp2 = .52, highlighting configuration-dependent eccentricity costs. In the collision conditions, a main effect for collision, F(1,13) = 239.94, p < .01, ηp2 = .95, presented the largest ANOVA effect size, indicating that more saccades are initiated before than after the collision. A comparison of change detection rates with and without anticipatory saccades showed that detection accuracy is reduced if the saccades occur during the period of the target change, F(1,13) = 5.81, p = .03, ηp2 = .31. This finding em-phasizes that saccade costs must be considered in the optimisation of gaze behaviour.
For sports, our findings suggest that – rather than fixating sequentially on relevant cues – athletes should anchor their gaze between objects in a cost-optimised manner and espe-cially, refrain from saccades if a crucial event is anticipated in the following moments. We are currently testing this conceptualized cost-dependent optimisation of gaze behaviour in sport-specific dual-task situations (e.g., with action responses in martial arts, basketball and soccer).

Trainingspraktiken im Sportverein für Menschen mit Behinderungen
No full textEinleitung
Für die Trainingsgestaltung im Sportverein für Menschen mit Behinderungen sind be-sondere Kompetenzen der Trainerinnen und Trainer erforderlich, weil je nach Behinde-rungsart spezifische Anpassungen notwendig sind (Heubach, 2013). Das gilt für separa-tive Behindertensportgruppen als auch für inklusive Vereinsgruppen, in denen Men-schen mit und ohne Behinderungen gemeinsam Sport treiben. Allerdings ist generell ein Mangel an qualifiziertem Trainingspersonal und deren Unterstützung zu konstatieren (Becker & Anneken, 2013). Weiterführende Befunde zu den Besonderheiten der Trai-ningspraktiken im separativen und inklusiven Vereinssport fehlen. Das Ziel dieses Bei-trages ist, die Trainingspraktiken in separativen und inklusiven Sportvereinsgruppen ver-gleichend zu analysieren.
Methode
Für die Erfassung der Trainingspraktiken wurden Trainerinnen und Trainer von neun separativen und sechs inklusiven Sportvereinsgruppen der Deutschschweiz mittels ei-nes leitfadengestützten Interviews befragt. Der Leitfaden enthielt Fragen zu Wissen, Ausbildung und Erfahrung der Trainerinnen und Trainer, den Besonderheiten und Her-ausforderungen bei der Planung und Durchführung der Trainings, den Unterschieden von separativem und inklusivem Training sowie der Unterstützung und den Ressourcen für das Training. Die Daten wurden mittels strukturierender qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet.
Ergebnisse und Diskussion
Die Befunde zeigen übergreifend, dass spezifisches Wissen und entsprechende Erfah-rung zu den unterschiedlichen Formen der Beeinträchtigung und den sich daraus erge-benden Bedürfnissen in der Trainingsgestaltung für Menschen mit Behinderungen un-abdingbar sind. Des Weiteren sind Unterschiede in den Trainingspraktiken zwischen se-parativen und inklusiven Vereinsgruppen festzustellen. Beispielsweise ist der personelle Unterstützungsbedarf und spezifische Materialieneinsatz bei separativen Gruppen hö-her; in inklusiven Gruppen ist hingegen der Anpassungsbedarf der Trainingsinhalte grösser. Mit den Befunden können sowohl den Trainingsleitenden als auch Verbänden für ihre Ausbildungslehrgänge Ansatzpunkte für eine gelingende Trainingsgestaltung im separativen und inklusiven Vereinssport aufgezeigt werden
Modular System for Distributed User Data Management
No full textTitle: Modular System for Distributed User Data Management Author: Filip Pavliš, Author's email: [email protected] Department: Department of Distributed and Dependable Systems Supervisor: Mgr. Pavel Ježek, Department of Distributed and Dependable Systems Abstract: The main objective of this project was to create a multiplatform modular system for distributed data management. The system supports both local and remote accessible data storage. Therefore a part of the solution is also a server for remote data access. System also provides parallel usage of a local and remote storage which guarantees that the storage is accessible also when connection to server is lost. In this case, system is capable to synchronize changes between the server and a client. A client can use multiple instances of his storage and our system is able to synchronize them through central server. The system provides abstraction over data model to separate plugin developers from its specific behavior. As practical preview of system usability was created an extension application called TuaLoca. The application will contain implementation of preview plugins and basic user interaction.
