Emergence of New Segments of Swiss Wine Consumers: A Comparison with a Segmentation Study from 2011 by Thomas A. Brunner, Thomas Schnetzer, Mathilde Delley

“…Three new segments emerged: local (15.2%), traditional (11.9%), and relaxation-seeking (9.4%) consumers. Our results show that each wine seller has its own place in the market and can benefit from the present study, which determines the appropriate marketing mix for a specific segment.…”

Minimising harms of tight glycaemic control in older patients with type 2 diabetes by Wade Thompson

“…It assesses the evidence from clinical trials and guidelines, with a focus on preventing hypoglycaemia and improving patient-centred care through relaxed HbA1c targets. Large randomised controlled trials show that intensive glycaemic control (HbA1c ≤ 7%) does not reduce cardiovascular risk, but increases hypoglycaemia and mortality, particularly in older adults. …”

Iterative Algorithms for Variational Inequalities Governed by Boundedly Lipschitzian and Strongly Monotone Operators by Caiping Yang, Songnian He

“…He and Xu proved that this variational inequality has a unique solution and devised iterative algorithms to approximate this solution (see He and Xu, 2009). In this paper, relaxed and self-adaptive iterative algorithms are proposed for computing this unique solution. …”

Simona Bozhinovska, Mise en œuvre de politiques monétaires en régime d’accumulation des réserves de change : une approche par la monnaie endogène. Aperçus des opérations des banque... by Simona Bozhinovska

“…First, the theoretical literature on endogenous money in an open economy needs to be supplemented to account for recent changes in operating procedures, namely the adoption of a floor system, thus relaxing the assumption of an endogenous monetary base while maintaining the notion of an endogenous money supply, even in a situation of an increased liquidity stemming from the country’s balance of payments position of the country. …”

One-sided device-independent random number generation through fiber channels by Jinfang Zhang, Yi Li, Mengyu Zhao, Dongmei Han, Jun Liu, Meihong Wang, Qihuang Gong, Yu Xiang, Qiongyi He, Xiaolong Su

“…To certify randomness without the characterization for device, it is crucial to realize the one-sided device-independent random number generation based on quantum steering, which guarantees security of randomness and relaxes the demands of one party’s device. Here, we distribute quantum steering between two distant users through a 2 km fiber channel and generate quantum random numbers at the remote station with untrustworthy device. …”

A Critique on the Book “近世の三大改革 “The Great Triple Reform in Early Modern Japan by Ali Golmohammadi

“…The author’s critical study of the topic focused on the appellation “three major reforms,” their renown and confinement to three periods by the Shogunate, and the explanation is within the two historical perspectives of “Good and Bad Governance Alternation” and “Tension and Relaxation.” Expressing his own definition of “reform,” and some examples in each period, the author tries to criticize fairly the bad governance and its instances. …”

Occupational experiences and their importance for young peoples’ mental health by Ingvill Sørensen Drevland, Mona Asbjørnslett, Unni Sveen, Karen Synne Groven

“…Verbatim transcriptions of the interviews were analysed using thematic analysis.Results Four core themes emerged: ‘doing’ for balance and stability; self-discovery through doing; intentional doing to recharge and feel free; and reflecting on the consequences of doing social media.Conclusions Young peoples’ occupational experiences shape their mental health in several ways: they serve as coping strategies, as a means to experience joy and accomplishment, and as a source of routines and opportunities for relaxation. We suggest that health-promoting initiatives for young people would strongly benefit from the inclusion of an occupational perspective.…”
