The response characteristics and stability evaluation of vegetated slope under strong wind by Yanlin Liu, Fei Wang, Feng Ji, Lianhua Zhang, Jianjun Zhao, Chen Zheng, Jibin Chen

“…At wind forces ≥ 13 (typhoon: 37.0–41.4 m/s), vegetation exerts a negative influence under the combined action of strong wind loads. (2) Based on the experimentally determined evolution of soil strength parameters, a formula c (v, w) was fitted to express the variation of cohesion with wind speed (v) and moisture content (w). (3) The optimized evaluation model demonstrates increased sensitivity compared to the traditional model, resulting in a 17.88% increase in sliding force and a 10.62–11.64% increase in anti-sliding force. …”

MARKETING AUDIT AS A TOOL OF MARKETING ANALYTICS by Valentyna Litynska

“…Based on the generalization of approaches to the interpretation of the concept of «marketing audit» and factors that have a significant impact on this concept, it is proposed to define marketing audit as an improved tool used by companies for in-depth analysis of their marketing activities in order to identify opportunities for increasing efficiency and competitiveness.  A marketing audit is not only an analysis of a company’s marketing strategies and actions, but also a systematic review of its marketing activities taking into account changing market conditions and internal factors. …”
