By selecting a sensible form of travel, a direct and lower-emission route as well as an airline that uses modern aircraft, everyone can reduce the environmental impact of their journey. In the name of ethics, companies should not compromise on their travel, but on their emissions.

  • Comparison of World Airline Rankings with Different Criteria: Best Airline Ranking and EVAMIX Method Rank
    American Research Journal of Humanities Social Science (ARJHSS)R) 2019 American Research Journal of Humanities Social Science (ARJHSS) E-ISSN: 2378-702X Volume-02, Issue-03, pp-38-46 March-2019 www.arjhss.com Research Paper Open Access Comparison of World Airline Rankings with Different Criteria: Best Airline Ranking and EVAMIX Method Rank Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ozlem Deniz Basar, Istanbul Commerce UniversityDepartment of Statistics Sutluce Mah., Imrahor Cad., No :90, Beyoglu / Istanbul / Turkey Phone : +90-212-444-0413/4613 ABSTRACT:- Competition in the transportation sector is in constant rise as in all sectors today. It is crucial for airlines, which are one of the most important shareholders in the transportation sector, to be recognized and reliable in order to have a place in the market. For this reason, different companies prepare and share a world airline ranking with public each year. These rankings are prepared using different criteria and methodologies. Hence, each of these rankings differs from each other. This study considers the Best Airline Ranking prepared by Airhelp in 2018. The first 15 airlines in this ranking are re-ranked with the EVAMIX method using unused criteria and the results are compared with the Best Airline Ranking. In the conclusion of the study, it is found out that rankings changed significantly; hence, it is greatly important to determine what is desired to measure when the airlines are compared. Keywords: Airline, Ranking, EVAMIX, Critic Method I. INTRODUCTION It is of importance to meet the changing consumer demands, reach and serve more customers in the aviation sector as in all other sectors.

  • The United Arab Emirates Case of Economic Success
    The United Arab Emirates Case of Economic Success The Federal Government Economic Policies Final Work in the form of Internship Report submitted to Universidade Católica Portuguesa for the obtainment of the Master Degree in Management by Pedro Alexandre Azevedo Dias Lima Delgado under orientation of Alexandra Pinto Leitão, PhD Católica Porto Business School July 2016 Acknowledgments I would like to thank Professor Alexandra Pinto Leitão for all the helpful advice, guidance, and invaluable comments on this essay, which have helped me to develop the present Master’s Final Work. iii iv Abstract Within 44 years the United Arab Emirates (UAE) evolved from the backdrop of a subsistence economy into an innovation-driven economy characterized by a high-mass consumption society. Prudent policy-making by the UAE Federal Government was vital in providing proper guidance on the how, where and when to apply hydrocarbon revenues and support the much needed process of economic diversification. Due to its astonishing economic development the UAE has become a role model in economic diversification for oil-producing countries. In this sense, the present Master’s Final Work sheds light on the following research question - “What were the policies adopted by the United Arab Emirates Federal Government that made the Emirates economy a case of success?”. A “two building-block” rationale was adopted in order to address the research question at hand. The first “building-block” allowed us to verify that the UAE is a case of economic success. Within 44 years, the country has now one of the most competitive economies in the world and is at par with most advanced economies in terms business regulations, infrastructure and technological advancement.

  • Democratic Republic of Congo: Arming the East 1
    Previous Democratic Republic of Congo: arming the east 1. Introduction Weapons and munitions have continued to flow into the Great Lakes Region and to those forces known to flagrantly abuse human rights in the eastern DRC despite the peace agreements in 2002 between warring groups of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and between the governments of Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Rwanda and Uganda.(1) The UN Security Council imposed a mandatory arms embargo on the provinces of North and South Kivu and the Ituri region of the eastern DRC, and also on groups not party to the peace agreement in the DRC, on 28 July 2003. This embargo was considerably strengthened and applied to the whole of the DRC, with certain exceptions, on 18 April 2005. Yet, before and after the imposition of the UN embargo, reports of arms and related deliveries continued. International arms flows into the region have corresponded to the clandestine supply of military aid by powerful forces in the DRC, Rwanda, and Uganda to their competing client armed groups and militia in eastern DRC who practise banditry and show little or no respect for human rights. Although fighting has subsided since the peace agreements, there have been regular clashes in which civilians have been brutally targeted. The military situation remains tense and civilians still live in fear and continue to be frequently exposed to large-scale human rights abuses. The current shortcomings in the demobilisation process, the easy availability of small arms, and the recent arming of "self defence" militia have also lead to a rapid rise in armed banditry.

  • A US Army War College Analysis of Russian Strategy in Eastern Europe, an Appropriate US Response, and the Implications for US La
    The United States Army War College The United States Army War College educates and develops leaders for service at the strategic level while advancing knowledge in the global application of Landpower. The purpose of the United States Army War College is to produce graduates who are skilled critical thinkers and complex problem solvers. Concurrently, it is our duty to the U.S. Army to also act as a “think factory” for commanders and civilian leaders at the strategic level worldwide and routinely engage in discourse and debate concerning the role of ground forces in achieving national security objectives. Project 1704 and is produced under the purview of the United States Army War College to foster dialogue of topics with strategic ramifications. This study drew upon the expertise of hand selected U.S. Army War College faculty and students from across the services, departments, agencies and from eight nations to provide a thought-provoking and relevant discourse of a topic of timely relevance; the reemergence of Russian strategic landpower.
