The role of customers in green supply chain management needs to be identified and recognized as an important research area. This paper is an attempt to explore the involvement aspect of customers towards greening of the supply chain (SC). An empirical research approach has been used to collect primary data to rank different variables for effective customer involvement in green concept implement...

OBJECTIVE To analyse the role of individual and contextual variables in injury mortality inequalities from a small area analysis perspective, looking at the data for the city of Barcelona (Spain) for 1992-98. SETTING Barcelona (Spain). METHODS All injury deaths in residents older than 19, which occurred in the period 1992-98 were included (n=4393). Age and sex specific mortality rates were ...

Contextual type theory distinguishes between bound variables and meta-variables to write potentially incomplete terms in the presence of binders. It has found good use as a framework for concise explanations of higher-order unification, characterize holes in proofs, and in developing a foundation for programming with higher-order abstract syntax, as embodied by the programming and reasoning env...

in this paper, we discuss the ways that communication accommodation theory (cat) can be a useful framework for understanding and diagnosing interactional issues in interpersonal and intergroup conflict situations. we argue that the theory’s construct of attuning strategies provides a multidimensional view of mutual adjustment, leading to insights relevant to successful versus unsuccessful confl...

This paper presents a cross-cultural examination of the trans-contextual model in University education setting. The purpose of the study was to test the effect of students’ perceived autonomy support and in-lecture learning motivation on motivation, intention, and behaviour with respect to after-lecture learning via the mediation of the social cognitive variables: attitude, subjective norm, and...

BACKGROUND Traumatic dental injury (TDI) during childhood may negatively impact the quality of life of children. OBJECTIVE To describe the association of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and domains (oral symptons, functional limitation, emotional- and social-well-being) of children with individual and contextual variables. METHODS A cross-sectional study was performed using a r...

The majority of the extant literature on inmate victimization considers only one level of analysis, thus ignoring the interaction effects between inmate- and prison-level variables. To extend this literature, multilevel modeling techniques were used to analyze self-report data from more than 1,000 inmates and 30 prisons in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Ohio. Results revealed that demographic variabl...

Models of errors during routine sequential action are typically interface-independent. We present here evidence that different task spatial layouts, however, result in different patterns of sequence errors. We explain this data by expanding upon the Memory for Goals framework’s activation-based, sequential process to include environmental (such as visual) contextual cues, as well as a richer pr...

Recently, a dual reinforcement process to contextual discounting was introduced. However, it lacked a clear interpretation. In this paper, we propose a new perspective on contextual discounting: it can be seen as successive corrections corresponding to simple contextual lies. Most interestingly, a similar interpretation is provided for the reinforcement process. Two new contextual correction me...
