The relationship between popular culture awareness and socialization in the deaf/hard of hearing and hearing populations

A sample of deaf/hard of hearing students and hearing students ages 11-14 were surveyed to examine social perceptions about intellect and popularity related to popular culture knowledge. Participants also provided descriptive responses to their popular culture favorites.

Enfoque de un programa CRM (Customer Relationship Managment): fidelización, aplicado a detallistas tipo AAA, para un productor de confitería en la ciudad de Quito

Para la empresa la atención de cliente es una variable vinculada de forma directa con la satisfacción del mismo, de tal manera que una no puede separarse de la otra, en este estudio se revisará las acciones por las cuales se considera que la satisfacción del cliente y su fidelización son componentes esenciales para incrementar la competitividad de las organizaciones. La identificación de las necesidades y expectativas de los distintos segmentos de clientes es fundamental para alcanzar su satisfacción. En los actuales momentos, la globalización, la apertura de fronteras, la libre comercialización entre los países, constituyen un reto de estabilidad comercial y sobrevivencia de las empresas ecuatorianas, razón por la cual las compañías y entre ellas las comercializadoras, buscan estrategias y alternativas para garantizar su permanencia en el mercado, por lo que una de ellas a considerar es la fidelización del cliente. El punto de partida de cualquier estrategia sensible a los clientes es un conocimiento profundo de la lealtad, identificándola como una relación de apego hacia los productos o servicios de una empresa . Por esta razón la organización reconocen que la satisfacción de los clientes no basta. Esta debe transformarse en relaciones duraderas y leales. Una vez que se ha determinado que la fidelidad del consumidor es un recurso importante para el desarrollo y crecimiento del cliente-empresa, el siguiente estudio propone estrategias que tiene como finalidad la permanencia del cliente a largo plazo, traducido en desarrollo económico para las dos partes. El estudio inicia con una evaluación de las condiciones actuales de la empresa, en relación al nivel de fidelidad del cliente con el que se desarrolla la misma, los datos recabados son captados a través de encuestas, luego son tabulados, analizados, posteriormente se aplican las estrategias, los resultados obtenidos se evalúan a corto y mediano plazo con el fin de determinar la efectividad de las mismas, finalmente ellas son detalladas en las conclusiones y sustentadas en las recomendaciones.

African easterly wave variability and its relationship to Atlantic tropical cyclone activity

Automatic tracking of vorticity centers in European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts analyses has been used to develop a 20-yr climatology of African easterly wave activity. The tracking statistics at 600 and 850 mb confirm the complicated easterly wave structures present over the African continent. The rainy zone equatorward of 15 degreesN is dominated by 600-mb activity, and the much drier Saharan region poleward of 15 degreesN is more dominated by 850-mb activity. Over the Atlantic Ocean there is just one storm track with the 600- and 850-mb wave activity collocated. Based on growth/decay and genesis statistics, it appears that the 850-mb waves poleward of 15 degreesN over land generally do not get involved with the equatorward storm track over the ocean. Instead, there appears to be significant development of 850-mb activity at the West African coast in the rainy zone around (10 degreesN, 10 degreesW), which, it is proposed, is associated with latent heat release. Based on the tracking statistics, it has been shown that there is marked interannual variability in African easterly wave (AEW) activity. It is especially marked at the 850-mb level at the West African coast between about 10 degrees and 15 degreesN, where the coefficient of variation is 0.29. For the period between 1985 and 1998, a notable positive correlation is seen between this AEW activity and Atlantic tropical cyclone activity. This correlation is particularly strong for the postreanalysis period between 1994 and 1998. This result suggests that Atlantic tropical cyclone activity may be influenced by the number of AEWs leaving the West African coast, which have significant low-level amplitudes, and not simply by the total number of AEWs.
