Influence of ISO 9001:2015 in Building Project of Sharjah

The goal of this study is to evaluate how organizational culture, leadership, and other factors affect the extent to which the ISO 9001:2015 quality management system is implemented in the construction industry. The 150 construction employees serve as the study sample's population. SEM (Structural Equation Model), together with LISREL software version 8.70, is used in this study's research. The findings demonstrate that motivation, competence, and commitment have a small influence on the effectiveness of the ISO 9001:2015 quality management system implementation; however, leadership and organizational culture have a significant impact on it.

ISO 14001 and 26001, Agents of Change in the SME

At present, business strategies in SMEs (Small and medium enterprises) are crucial for consolidation in highly competitive markets, in achieving a better image and in business profitability. One of the strategies that are currently being used and that have a high level of success are the practices focused on sustainability and social responsibility, through standardized standards such as: ISO 14001 and ISO 26001. The literature related to sustainable business is based mainly on the theory of resources and capabilities, and in theory based on Stakeholders. These currents state that companies should focus on profitable strategies to ensure significant and long-term results, in order to achieve organizational and financial results for stakeholders. In this work, the sample consists of 215 companies from the commerce, services and industry sectors, located in the southern region of the State of Sonora in Mexico.The objective of the work is to analyze the influence of ISO 14001 and 26001 standards on the image and profitability of SMEs. The statistical analysis of the data has been carried out through the linear regression technique by OLS (Ordinary Least Squares). The findings prove that the ISO 14001 standard is the one that most influences the improvement of the business image and the level of profitability of the SME. In addition, we discovered that ISO 26001 has a partial influence on the image and profitability of the SME.

Identifying the influence of quality management of ISO 9001 on product innovation and financial turn over interfering the lack of peripheral confidence

This paper aims at identifying the influence of Quality Management of ISO 9001 on product innovation and financial turn over interfering the lack of peripheral confidence. The population includes 90 employees of industrial factories around Ahvaz and in Ahvaz-Shooshtar road who were selected through random sampling. Stability and the validity of the mentioned questionnaire were also evaluated in this research. Data analysis was performed via descriptive and inferential analysis and also SPSS18 and Lisrel 8.5 and approved by confirmatory factor and goodness of fit for four variables. The results coming from the hypothesis test confirm the both the hypothesis and the influence of ISO 9001 Quality Management on financial turn over and the innovation. Also the turn over itself is effective in product innovation but the inferential role of lack of peripheral confidence on ISO 9001 Quality Management on financial turnover and the product innovation was not approved.

DIAGNOSIS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN A MICROBUSINESS IN THE URBAN VECTOR AND PEST CONTROL SECTOR

This project analyzes and discusses the application of a methodological valuation model of an environmental maturity of a company of vectors and pests control. The method used was the initial environmental diagnostics, which intended to classify in a scale of values the Business Process of the company to Certification based on NBR ISO 14001. As a result of the application of the method were identified EMS Critical Success Spots low performed by the company, and the positive influence of ISO 9001 Certification already established in the organization. As well as, proposed actions to improve the weaknesses that were identified by the diagnostics in order to establish a schedule for the compliance of the first phase of the PDCA method proposed by the ISO 14001.

Chronic verapamil treatment remodelsICa,Lin mouse ventricle

In this study we tested the hypothesis that ventricular homeostasis of L-type Ca(2+) current (I(Ca,L)) minimally involves regulation of the main pore-forming alpha-subunit (Ca(V)1.2) and auxiliary proteins that serve as positive or negative regulators of I(Ca,L). We treated animals for 24 h with verapamil (Ver, 3.6 mg.kg(-1).day(-1)), isoproterenol (Iso, 30 mg.kg(-1).day(-1)), or Iso + Ver via osmotic minipumps. To test for alterations of Ca(2+) channel complex components we performed real-time PCR and Western blot analysis on ventricle. In addition, cardiac myocytes (CMs) were dispersed and current was recorded in the whole cell configuration to evaluate I(Ca,L). Surprisingly, 24- to 48-h Ver increased Ca(V)1.2 mRNA and protein and I(Ca,L) current (Ver 11 +/- 1pA/pF vs. control 7 +/- 0.5pA/pF; P < 0.01). I(Ca,L) from CMs in Ver mice showed no change in whole cell capacitance. To examine the in vivo effects of a physiologically relevant Ca(2+) channel agonist, we treated mice with Iso. Twenty-four-hour Iso infusion increased heart rate; Ca(V)1.2- and Ca(V)beta(2) mRNA levels were constant, but the Ca(2+) channel subunit mRNA Rem was increased twofold. Cells isolated from 24-h Iso hearts showed no change in basal I(Ca,L) density and diminished responsiveness to acute 1 muM Iso. To further examine the homeostatic regulation of the Ca(2+) channel, we treated animals for 24 h with Iso + Ver. The influence of Iso + Ver was similar that of to Iso alone on Ca(2+) channel mRNAs and I(Ca,L), with the exception that it prevented the increase in Rem seen with Iso treatment. Long-term Ca(2+) channel blockade induces an increase of Ca(V)1.2 mRNA and protein and significantly increases I(Ca,L).

SAUDI COMPANIES ATTITUDE TOWARD ISO 9000 QUALITY STANDARDS: AN EMPIRICAL EXAMINATION

A sample consisting of senior executives of 61 companiues in Saudi Arabia was obtained to examine the nature of their attitudes toward ISO 9000 quality standards. Results indicate that those companies that are highly and positively inclined toward ISO 9000 standards are mostly manufacturing firms with an ownership status of joint ventures or partnerships, have a large number of employees and market products in both domestic and foreign markets. The personnel of these companies have been persuaded and educated about ISO 9000 standards through direct contact and personal involvement. Most of these have traced overall quality improvement, an d improved flow of activities and coordination to the influence of ISO 9000 standards. Service and trading sectors and small companies in Saudi Arabia seem less concerned about ISO 9000 standards.

Functional responses of the left and right heart of diabetic rats to α- and β-adrenergic receptor stimulation

It was the aim of the present study to examine the influence of α- and β-receptor stimulation on the function of the right (RV) and left (LV) ventricle of streptozotocin-diabetic rats (STZ; 60 mg · kg −1; n = 14). Phenylephrine (PE; 3 mg · kg −1 · h −1) or isoproterenol (ISO; 24 μg · kg −1 · h −1) were infused intravenously for 20 min 4 weeks after STZ injection. The hemodynamic parameters were measured on intact, anaesthetized animals with special Millar ® ultraminiature tipcatheter manometers. In the non-diabetic animals ( n = 15), PE caused a significant elevation of left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP) from 138.5 ± 3.2 to 205.4 ± 7.5 mmHg and raised heart rate (HR) from 362 ± 12.6 to 399 ± 17.2 beats · min −1 (mean ± S.E.M.; P < 0.05). LVSP and HR were significantly lower in the diabetic animals under control conditions (110.5 ± 6.4 mmHg and 273 ± 16.0 beats · min −1, respectively) and not affected by PE. ISO induced a significant and comparable decrease in diastolic aortic pressure (DAP) and an increase in HR in both the non-diabetic and diabetic group. The PE-induced enhancements of LV dP dt max and RV dP dt max from 10533 ± 805 to 21533 ± 1386 and from 2044 ± 262 to 3867 ± 733 mmHg · s −1 were significant in the control animals. In the diabetic rats, LV dP dt max was lower (5971 ± 901 mmHg · s −1) and was increased by PE to the range of control rats (11171 ± 1591 mmHg · s −1. The PE-induced elevation of RV dP dt max from 2028 ± 284 to 2771 ± 391 mmHg · s −1 was less pronounced in the diabetic rats than in the controls. Under the influence of ISO, the increase of dP dt max in both ventricles was comparable to the effect of PE and fully preserved in the diabetic animals. Right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) was increased under PE and ISO in both groups to comparable values. These results demonstrate that the in vivo response to β-adrenoceptor stimulation is well preserved in the diabetic rat, while the effects of α-stimulation are markedly reduced, especially in the left ventricle and systemic circulation.
