Share of wallet and customer's loyalty and satisfaction are positively correlated. As a result, marketers in recent years have spent more resources on developing loyalty programs. Some researchers have argued that customer's satisfaction is not a strong enough predictor for share of wallet, and that marketers should fo... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Share_of_wallet |
This means that using Net Promoter Score is not useful by itself when marketers are looking to increase share of wallet, as it doesn't look at the category as a whole.Previous research has also found that higher switching costs of loyalty programs leads to higher share of wallet - regardless of customer satisfaction.

The Inglehart–Welzel cultural map of the world is a scatter plot created by political scientists Ronald Inglehart and Christian Welzel based on the World Values Survey and European Values Survey. It depicts closely linked cultural values that vary between societies in two predominant dimensions: traditional versus secu... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inglehart–Welzel_cultural_map_of_the_world |
Analysis of the World Values Survey data by Inglehart and Welzel asserts that there are two major dimensions of cross-cultural variation in the world: x-axis: Survival values versus self-expression values y-axis: Traditional values versus secular–rational values.The map is a chart in which countries are positioned base... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inglehart–Welzel_cultural_map_of_the_world |
Societies that embrace these values have high levels of national pride and a nationalistic outlook.Secular-rational values have the opposite preferences to the traditional values. Societies that embrace these values place less emphasis on religion, traditional family values and authority. Divorce, abortion, euthanasia ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inglehart–Welzel_cultural_map_of_the_world |
They are linked with a relatively ethnocentric outlook and low levels of trust and tolerance. Self-expression values give high priority to subjective well-being, self-expression and quality of life. Some values more common in societies that embrace these values include environmental protection, growing tolerance of for... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inglehart–Welzel_cultural_map_of_the_world |
A 2017 version of the map had countries divided into nine clusters: the English-speaking, Latin America, Catholic Europe, Protestant Europe, African-Islamic, Baltic, South Asian, Orthodox and Confucian clusters. In previous studies, the African-Islamic cluster was split into two (the African cluster and the Islamic clu... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inglehart–Welzel_cultural_map_of_the_world |
Out of Western world countries, the United States is among the most conservative (as one of the most downwards-located countries), together with highly conservative Catholic countries such as Ireland and Poland. Simoni concludes that "On the traditional/secular dimension, the United States ranks far below other rich so... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inglehart–Welzel_cultural_map_of_the_world |
This is true even between countries with shared cultural histories. Additionally, even cultural clusters of countries do not intermix much across borders. This suggests nations are culturally meaningful units. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inglehart–Welzel_cultural_map_of_the_world |
The map is updated and modified regularly along with the new waves of data from the World Values Survey. The different versions are available at the website of the World Values Survey.An early version of the map was published by Ronald Inglehart in 1997 with the dimensions named "Traditional vs. Secular-Rational Author... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inglehart–Welzel_cultural_map_of_the_world |
The cultural map has generally been well received and it is often cited or referred to. In 2009 Arno Tausch described it as "one of the most famous pieces of Inglehart's research tradition". Likewise, a number of scholars have referred to it as famous (Niels-Christian Fritsche in 2009, Elisabeth Staksrud in 2016, Manfr... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inglehart–Welzel_cultural_map_of_the_world |
In 2007 Majima and Savage have questioned which measures of culture are most adequate and whether the measured change over time is real, and Bomhoff and Gu in 2012 have argued that East Asian attitudes and values are not adequately reflected.In 2010 calculations by Beugelsdijk and Welzel suggested that the split into t... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inglehart–Welzel_cultural_map_of_the_world |

Anno 1503: The New World (released as 1503 A.D. : The New World in North America) is a 2002 construction and management simulation video game developed by Austrian developer Max Design and published by Sunflowers Interactive. Part of the Anno series, it is a direct sequel to Anno 1602, the most commercially successful ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_1503 |
Like its predecessor, the game was a commercial hit in the German market, and became Germany's best-selling computer title of 2002. By 2006, the game's global sales had reached 2 million units, with over 750,000 sold in German-speaking territories. It was followed by an expansion pack, Treasures, Monsters & Pirates, an... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_1503 |
Anno 1503 begins with the player in control of a ship filled with men and material searching for an island to settle. After finding a suitable site, city-building begins. Resources begin as food and cloth, but progress into more complicated and different goods. Eventually, citizens become Aristocrats, and require at le... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_1503 |
The game is constructed around one human player and three computer AI players. As in Anno 1602, the AI is progressive, meaning that it advances along with the human player. The AI also has adjustable personalities, which the player customizes before the beginning of a game. Each different player, human or computer, is ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_1503 |
The economy in Anno 1503 is built on providing different goods to colonist citizens. It begins with the creation of cheap goods, and progresses in civilization levels throughout the game leading to more advanced goods. Since the game is built on different levels of civilizations (pioneer, settler, citizen, merchant, ar... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_1503 |
Technology in Anno 1503 begins on the pioneer level. After giving citizens basic goods like food, cloth, and alcohol, they develop into settlers, the second civilization level. The second level allows the player's settlers to build more advanced buildings; however, settlers also require more goods to stay alive. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_1503 |
Buildings in the game do not necessarily have a specific function for the player, but have an implied or effective function for settlers in the game. Building abilities are amplified with expansion, meaning larger populations have more effective building powers. Military operations in this game are more complex than in... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_1503 |
The game has more than seven different types of units as opposed to Anno 1602 with only four. Thus, during battles, the game experience becomes more intense as deploying different units becomes a key strategy for winning a battle. The buildings in the game are also more extensive than those of Anno 1602. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_1503 |
This is mainly because the gameplay area and islands are many times bigger than in 1602. Thus, it makes it possible to have many more plantations and a diversity of farmhouses. Alongside the houses and farms featured in the previous game, this game also has many more extensive farms for gems, silk, whale blubber, lamp ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_1503 |
Anno 1503 began development in January 1999, following the success of 1998's Anno 1602. Publisher Sunflowers Interactive announced it in November of that year.An add-on titled Treasures, Monsters & Pirates was released in 2004. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_1503 |
Commercial expectations for Anno 1503 were high, as its predecessor, Anno 1602, was the German market's all-time best-selling video game by 2002. Retailers pre-purchased 450,000 units of the game ahead of its launch, and it became a hit that "dominated" the charts in German-speaking countries during its first months of... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_1503 |
Tim Pototzki of GamesMarkt wrote that the game's early performance "astonished" Germany. The Verband der Unterhaltungssoftware Deutschland (VUD) soon awarded the game "Gold" status, indicating sales of at least 100,000 units across Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. Anno 1503 finished its first seven days with a total ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_1503 |
The game was knocked to second place on GfK's charts by Age of Mythology and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets during its fourth and fifth weeks, respectively, but it held the #1 position on Media Control's chart for November overall. In early December, Sunflowers announced a record €1.4-million television advert... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_1503 |
Anno 1503 then maintained first place on GfK's charts for the last three weeks of the year, recovering from a drop to fourth during its seventh week on shelves. Media Control named it the #1 computer game of December.Anno 1503 continued to sell in 2003. GfK ranked it in position 1 for the first two weeks of January, an... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_1503 |
At the time, 4players reported that the game's sales during its first 10 weeks were three-fourths higher than Anno 1602's over the same period. Sell-through in the German market increased to 420,000 copies by mid-February and 450,000 by early March. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_1503 |
On Media Control's monthly charts, the game secured fifth for February, then placed in the top 14 for another four months. It had maintained an unbroken streak in Media Control's top 30 by September. Coinciding with the 2003 holiday shopping season and the release of the Treasures, Monsters, and Pirates expansion pack,... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_1503 |
It subsequently rose to seventh and ninth on Media Control's charts for November and December, respectively.In January 2004, the VUD awarded Anno 1503 a "Special Prize" for sales above 500,000 units in the German-speaking market. At the time, it was the fastest full-price computer title to reach this milestone in the r... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_1503 |
Anno 1503's worldwide sales surpassed 800,000 copies that August, when it finished 14th on Media Control's list for the German market.

Diabetic foot infection is any infection of the foot in a diabetic person. The most frequent cause of hospitalization for diabetic patients is due to foot infections. Symptoms may include pus from a wound, redness, swelling, pain, warmth, tachycardia, or tachypnea. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_foot_infection |
Complications can include infection of the bone, tissue death, amputation, or sepsis. They are common and occur equally frequently in males and females. Older people are more commonly affected. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_foot_infection |
They most often form following a diabetic foot ulcer, though not all foot ulcers become infected. Diabetic foot ulcers can be caused by vascular disease or neuropathy and its prevalence occurs in approximately 25% of diabetics throughout their lifetime. Some risk factors for developing diabetic foot infections include ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_foot_infection |
Most diabetic foot infections are polymicrobial (contain multiple infective organisms), and bacteria that are commonly involved include staphylococcus, including methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), streptococci, pseudomonas, and gram-negative bacteria. Previously, MRSA infections were usually acquired f... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_foot_infection |
The underlying mechanism of diabetic foot infections often involves poor blood flow and peripheral neuropathy. Diagnosis is based on symptoms and may be supported by deep tissue culture.Treatment involves proper wound care and antibiotics. Pseudomonas aeruginosa empiric therapy is not warranted unless the patient had a... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_foot_infection |
MRSA empiric therapy is also not warranted unless the patient has a critical infection such as sepsis, if the rate of MRSA infections are particularly high in a local area, or if the patient had a previous MRSA infection. The duration of antibiotics depends on the severity of infection, ranging anywhere from 1–12 weeks... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_foot_infection |
Severe infections typically require IV antibiotics that cover more pathogens, such as gram positive organisms, gram negative organisms, and obligate anaerobes to allow for better treatment outcomes. Total antibiotic treatment of severe infections should be approximately 2–3 weeks or more, depending on how extensive the... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_foot_infection |
Neuropathy, peripheral artery disease, and trauma contribute individually and in combination to the pathophysiology of diabetic foot infections. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_foot_infection |
Diabetes causes a symmetric polyneuropathy that may affect motor and sensory neurons. Intrinsic atrophy of foot and ankle muscles leads to anatomic changes of the foot arch, most commonly depressing the metatarsal heads and creating high pressure zones. Neuropathy is present in approximately 60% of patients who develop... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_foot_infection |
Metabolic changes in diabetes, including hyperglycemia, lead to increased likelihood of -hyperlipidemia and developing atherosclerosis. In diabetes, this atherosclerosis is preferentially distributed to the posterior and anterior tibial arteries, decreasing perfusion to the lower extremities. This may lead to loss of s... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_foot_infection |
Foot infections range from the most superficial, cellulitis, to deeper soft tissue necrotizing fasciitis, which may necessitate limb amputations or become life-threatening. Infections may also extend to bone, termed osteomyelitis. Infections are commonly polymicrobial and involve antibiotic-resistant strains of organis... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_foot_infection |
Initial diagnosis of diabetic foot infections is made primarily via thorough history and physical to include visual inspection of the feet, evaluation of any wounds, distal pulses, and neurologic function. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_foot_infection |
History should be taken for known recent foot trauma, and the lower extremities should be inspected for signs of recent trauma, including redness, induration, edema, visible ulceration with exudate or pus, or bony deformity. Ulcers do occur in the absence of pathological infection. Diagnosis of an infected wound is cla... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_foot_infection |
In patients with non-palpable pulses, evaluation of PAD with an ankle-brachial index should also be performed. Ulceration or deeper wounds should be probed to identify the depth of penetration and determine involvement of bone, which would indicate osteomyelitis. Neurologic testing includes testing peripheral sensation... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_foot_infection |
Imaging may also be used for further evaluation. Plain x-ray, the most common initial imaging study, may show fractures, osteomyelitis, gas collection from gas-producing infective organisms, calcification of blood vessels, or foreign bodies. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is useful to determine the depth of soft tiss... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_foot_infection |
Acute management of diabetic foot infections generally includes antibiotic therapy, pressure offloading, re-vascularization, if appropriate, and debridement of infected tissues (or amputation if necessary). Hospitalization is more likely needed when lower extremity pulses are absent or when infection penetrates to the ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_foot_infection |
When debridement is necessary, wounds are left open so that serial debridements may be performed over the course of the wound’s healing.Antibiotic choice should be guided by deep tissue culture, severity of the infection, presence or absence of osteomyelitis, prior antibiotic treatment, and previous or current MRSA inf... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_foot_infection |
One crucial aspect for prevention of diabetic foot infections is educating patients of what to monitor for and when to follow up with a healthcare professional. Patients should be regularly checking their feet daily, if they are not able to view the bottom of their feet they can use a mirror to aid them. Prevention of ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_foot_infection |
Patients should avoid exposing their feet to hot water or harsh chemicals, as well should avoid walking barefoot to prevent development of diabetic foot infections. Patients should also be educated about the importance of regularly trimming their toenails and ensuring they are kept short to avoid an infection from deve... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_foot_infection |

Race relations is a sociological concept that emerged in Chicago in connection with the work of sociologist Robert E. Park and the Chicago race riot of 1919. Race relations designates a paradigm or field in sociology and a legal concept in the United Kingdom. As a sociological field, race relations attempts to explain ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_relations |
These relations vary depending on historical, social, and cultural context. The term is used in a generic way to designate race related interactions, dynamics, and issues. In the 1960's, the prevailing understanding of race relations was underdeveloped and was acknowledged by sociologists for its failure to predict the... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_relations |
It was critiqued for being explicitly used to give an explanation of violence connected to race. The use of paradigm was criticized for overlooking the power differential between races, implying that the source of violence is disharmony rather than racist power structures. Race relations are divided into positive and n... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_relations |
Positive or good race relations promote equality, empathy, and inclusivity, while negative race relations generate tension, conflict, and social divisions. Detractors of the term "race relations" have called it as a euphemism for white supremacy or racism. Opinion polls, such as Gallup polls, use the term "race relatio... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_relations |
Robert E. Park of the University of Chicago formulated a theory known as "race relations cycle," which is currently discredited. He believed race relations have a universal pattern: when races come into contact, at first they are hostile, but thaw over time. However, Park only conducted minimal studies related to it an... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_relations |
The cycle was postulated to be driven by subjective attitudes that members of races feel toward other races. The steps in Park's cycle were contact, competition, accommodation, and assimilation. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_relations |
Park's students tested his ideas by studying communities of Chinese and Japanese origin living in the United States and found that, contrary to Park's theory, adopting white culture did not lead to acceptance by white Americans. However, Park did not discard his theory in spite of the failures to verify it.In 1919, whi... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_relations |

Maceration is a bone preparation technique whereby a clean skeleton is obtained from a vertebrate carcass by leaving it to decompose inside a closed container at near-constant temperature. This may be done as part of a forensic investigation, as a recovered body is too badly decomposed for a meaningful autopsy, but wit... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maceration_(bone) |
Maceration is a form of controlled putrefaction, a stage of decomposition in which the proteins of the body's cells are broken down and consumed by bacteria in anaerobic conditions. The temperature is usually maintained at a constant optimal temperature in an incubator. Maceration generates very strong and distasteful ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maceration_(bone) |
In the process of maceration, the carcass is first skinned and defleshed by hand as much as is practical, and all internal organs are removed. In this process, extra care is taken when removing the eyeballs, ears and jugular muscles, because some bones are shallow and brittle, such as the thickened external acoustic op... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maceration_(bone) |
Water is then put in a container and maintained a constant temperature, usually 35 °C though not warmer than 50 °C. Washing powder with enzymes (like Biotex) may be added, as it will soften the tissue. A mild detergent or emulsifier is sometimes used to remove fatty acids from the bone. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maceration_(bone) |
When the carcass is put in the container, putrefying bacteria begin (or continue) to consume the soft tissue cells of the carcass, and will continue to do so as long as the temperature remains constant. After a few days, the water is replenished to maintain the bacteria, and some additional flesh may be cut away. Most ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maceration_(bone) |
Lipids and fatty acids in the bone and in the fat tissues tend to stain the bone brown. Oxidising bleaches may be used to whiten the bone, but if too much is used the perchlorate or hypochlorite damages the bone tissue, leaving it chalky and brittle. Hydrogen peroxide at quite low concentrations, say 1% to 3% replenish... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maceration_(bone) |
When the process of maceration is complete, the bones are removed from the solution and left to dry. If the skeleton is human and the subject of an investigation, the forensic anthropologist will then conduct an inventory and analysis of the remains. If the individual is to be identified, occupational and age-related o... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maceration_(bone) |
If a crime has been established, an examination of the bones without overlying soft tissue may provide evidence on what weapon (if any) was used or on the nature of the injuries sustained.

It provides a broad overview of Juǀʼhoan life, both past and present, and an intimate portrai... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nǃai,_the_Story_of_a_ǃKung_Woman |
Marshall compiled the footage of Nǃai over the course of 27 years. Marshall shot over 353,000 feet of color film during his expeditions into the Nyae-Nyae region. The footage of Nǃai as a young girl, including her wedding ceremonies, was recorded in 1951. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nǃai,_the_Story_of_a_ǃKung_Woman |
"Before the white people came we did what we wanted," Nǃai recalls, describing the life she remembers as a child: following her mother to pick berries, roots, and nuts as the season changed; the division of giraffe meat; the kinds of rain; her resistance to her marriage to ǀGunda at the age of eight; and her changing f... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nǃai,_the_Story_of_a_ǃKung_Woman |
The uniqueness of Nǃai may lie in its tight integration of ethnography and history. While it portrays the changes in Juǀʼhoan society over thirty years, it never loses sight of the individual, Nǃai. The film is credited with the introduction of the dialogical structure, whereby both the voices of the filmmaker and the ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nǃai,_the_Story_of_a_ǃKung_Woman |

There... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_of_well-being_scale |
The QWB was originally called the Health Status Index, then the Index of Well-Being, and then eventually became the Quality of Well-Being Scale. It has undergone several modifications since its development. The process of administering the QWB can be described in three stages. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_of_well-being_scale |
They are the assessment of functional status, scaling the responses and indicating prognosis. Assessment of functional status involves a structured interview which records the symptoms and problems experienced over the last eight days. It is used to classify the patient’s level of functioning. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_of_well-being_scale |
The interview takes about seven minutes or longer, according to the patient’s level of health. Questions in the interview covered three criteria of functioning: physical activity, social activity and mobility and confinement. The interview also records the presence of symptoms or problem complexes, which are problems t... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_of_well-being_scale |
Preference weights were given for each function level by 867 raters. The preference weights indicated the social judgement of the importance of each function level. A score is generated, which is known as W. W can then be adjusted to reflect the prognosis of a given medical condition. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_of_well-being_scale |
Since the development of the Quality of Well-Being Scale and the consequent Quality of Well-Being Scale-Self Administered, the questionnaire has been utilized in numerous studies worldwide.

Extramural English (EE) is a term used in the field of second language acquisition and an example of informal learning of English. The term was first coined in 2009 by Pia Sundqvist. It refers to 'English outside the walls' (from Latin extramural, where the prefix, extra, means 'outside' and the stem, mural, means 'wal... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extramural_English |
EE includes both online and offline activities and is always initiated by the learner, not by the teacher. EE activities can be carried out with or without deliberate intention to improve English language proficiency. Hence, EE encompasses both incidental and intentional language learning. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extramural_English |
EE research that centers on online activities is often viewed as computer-assisted language learning (CALL) research. EE is linked to the theory of learner autonomy. Research studies report several learning benefits of EE, such as promoting vocabulary acquisition., fostering learner autonomy, increasing literacy develo... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extramural_English |
