...Recoletos de Bacolod Graduate PhD-Business Management University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos Bacolod City Business Research NAME: Evans B. Sansolis Acceptability of a Low-Cost Medical Diagnostic Test System in Philippine Barangay Health Centers CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Project Context The Philippines is a third world country wherein a large number of its citizens living in urban and rural areas subsist below the poverty line. Millions of people are unemployed, and countless citizens earn an income below Php 5,000 a month. In fact, a lot of families in the country have been struggling to survive. According to the book, "Poverty in the Philippines" published by Asian Development Bank, "Economic growth has gone through boom and bust cycles, and recent episodes of moderate economic expansion have had limited impact on the poor. Great inequality across income brackets, regions, and sectors, as well as unmanaged population growth is considered some of the key factors constraining poverty reduction efforts.” This idea tells us that a lot of families in the country are suffering from extreme poverty which eventually affects their health and medical needs. Thus, our government is lacking in an adequate, systematic, elaborate collection and storage of medical data for our underprivileged countrymen. In light of this, open-source hardware that is open for modification can easily be converted to form a new machine, gadget, or instrument, wherein its hardware schematics...

...(KTVL), on a sunset photographic flight. The aircraft was supposed to fly within 20 miles of the airport with a return to the same airport, or with the option to continue to Burbank California. At dusk, the pilot and passengers load the aircraft and departed the airport. The flight departed under visual flight rules and visual meteorological conditions. The weather was reported at 2 miles in lowering clouds and 900 feet overcast and deteriorating. After takeoff, the aircraft rotated and entered the lowering mist. Approximately 5 miles past the end of the runway, the aircraft was seen exiting the clouds in a steep left rolling bank, trailing smoke. On scene actions Upon arrival at the accident scene, a preliminary visual inspection was done. Following the preliminary inspection, specific areas of responsibility were delegated to the rest of the investigating party. On Scene Observations The aircraft first struck the top of a 100 foot communication tower. After the initial impact with the tower, the aircraft began a roll to the left and impacted the ground 400 feet from the base of the tower. This was determined by the discovery of the red tip light. With the discovery of the green tip light that was found 100 feet from the first ground scar, it was determined that after the first impact, the aircraft began to cart wheel and impacted the ground with the right wing. The aircraft fuselage separated from the wings and came to rest 50 feet from the last ground scar, and burned...

...The effect of strategy on the use of supply chain management tools – exploratory survey in the Hungarian automotive industry István Jenei1, Krisztina Demeter2, Andrea Gelei3 Budapest University of Economic Sciences and Public Administration, Hungary Abstract Supply chain management (SCM) usually goes beyond company boarders.

Our results support the proposition that the connection between strategy and supply chain tools (configurations and practices) is very strong. It is underlined with not only the comparison of the two supply chains but can also be detected in the strategic change at one of the focal companies which resulted in supply chain changes, as well. Besides the main objective a detailed view is provided about the past, present and future of the Hungarian automotive industry.

...Chapter 2 Planning the New Venture Having great ideas and singling out the great opportunity is only the first step in a long journey to a viable venture. The next steps typically need some planning, mostly packaged into what will eventually become a “business plan.” The business plan is a document that evolves from the initial idea into a business concept proposal (BCP) and from there into an opportunity assessment. At each stage of this evolution, the entrepreneur can decide to proceed or move on to a more promising venture. The exercise of putting a business plan together is a helpful one, and by the end of the process you will have a document that helps you and potential investors think about how promising the venture truly is. This chapter covers the whys and how-tos of a business plan in depth, looking at the main parts and why they are important, as well as what to do with your business plan. In addition, we will look at other common themes characteristic of the early phase of technology startups such as product development and marketing and communications strategy, as well as issues of intellectual property. 2.1 What Is a Business Plan? A business plan is a document describing a venture’s opportunity, its product or service, context, strategy, team, required resources, and potential financial returns [1]. It is guided by three basic questions [2]: • Where are we now? • Where do we want to be? • How are we going to get there? There is ample material available...
