In the following years we published four papers related to “big killers” (cardiac and oncology) that showed some differences in birth months distribution of this group and studied by LA, NS Gavrilov’s centenarians. The aim of this study was to study conception and birth months of another modern “big killer”—cerebral stroke (CVA) that is taking a leading role among cardiovascular causes of death in the last decades. Methods: 130,120 deaths of both gender CVA victims in Lithuania at 1989-2013 were studied. In addition to birth month, the months of conception (9 months before birth) were studied. Our data were compared with results of centenarians (birth of LA, NS Gavrilov’s study and transformed by authors also their conception month). Results: The maximum of births were January, March and May for CVA victims, while the analogical conception maximum were in April, June, May and July. The similar data for centenarians were that maximal births were in November, September, October (LA, NS Gavrilov) and conception in December, January, February. These results are similar to data related to cardiac and oncology deaths published in our previous publications. Conclusion: The conception and birth month of victims of CVA is different of similar data obtained by centenarians study. Different environmental conditions at different parts of the year and solar cycle can play a role affecting the embryo at early stages of development, predisposing to some pathologies in coming years of life.展开更多

Based on this, this paper analyzes the basic content of the concept of time and space, and puts forward some practical strategies, such as guiding the transfer of geographical knowledge, rationally designing interdisciplinary teaching, using historical maps, and constructing efficient classrooms, in order to give full play to the advantages of interdisciplinary teaching and lay a solid foundation for realizing students all-round development.展开更多

However, in realistic cases, the above time should not be neglected for both the time itself and its effect. In order to model the effect of the possible overlapping of inspection span with failure downtime on determining the optimal inspection interval, we propose a block-based inspection model for a single component-based on delay time concept. We further compare this model with the age-based model to show the practical sense. The developed models are also demonstrated by numerical examples.展开更多

Applied research has been trying to find a ＂panacea＂ to prevent or at least predict M＆A failure, investigating motives, synergies and performance. Despite the growing unease with the stationary explanatory models in literature, research has only marginally focused on the concept of time, with inquiries into market timing and integration speed. Yet other timing concepts have been neglected in concepts so far despite early empirical evidence for their existence. The purpose of this paper is thus to identify and elaborate on the importance of further relevant theories of timing. For this, and true to the exploratory nature of the topic, the authors have chosen a qualitative comparative case study design based on existing case reports which are investigated for narrations highlighting timing concepts. This study reveals six factors which have a crucial impact on the M＆A outcome： time of acquisition, M＆A duration in its entirety, M＆A sequence, synergy chronology, frequency of acquisitions and time to step back. It contributes to theory and practice in outlining the careful attention that needs to be paid in planning in these factors to enhance the chances of a successful M＆A transaction.展开更多
近年来,AI设计爆火出圈并对人们的生活产生了巨大的影响。当老字号品牌遇到AI设计时会产生怎样的火花?深入研究AI设计老字号品牌产品的作用机理和消费者的产品态度对老字号品牌具有现实意义。本文将AI设计产品的理念引入老字号品牌的研...近年来,AI设计爆火出圈并对人们的生活产生了巨大的影响。当老字号品牌遇到AI设计时会产生怎样的火花?深入研究AI设计老字号品牌产品的作用机理和消费者的产品态度对老字号品牌具有现实意义。本文将AI设计产品的理念引入老字号品牌的研究,通过设计四个情境实验,探讨了老字号品牌产品设计来源(AI v s.人类)对产品态度的影响、中介机制及边界条件。研究结果显示,老字号品牌使用AI(v s.人类)设计产品对消费者产品态度产生积极影响,其中新奇感起到中介作用。同时,老字号品牌产品设计来源对新奇感的影响受到品牌概念的调节及消费者怀旧倾向的再调节作用。此外,消费者对老字号品牌的规范信念在老字号品牌产品设计来源对产品态度的影响中起调节作用。本研究拓展了老字号品牌产品设计的理论研究,为老字号品牌如何选择产品设计来源以改善消费者的产品态度提供了实践启示。展开更多
