line vulnerability

Examples of line vulnerability in the following topics:

• Product Line

  • Line depth refers to the number of subcategories a category has.
  • Line consistency refers to how closely related the products that make up the line are.
  • Line vulnerability refers to the percentage of sales or profits that are derived from only a few products in the line.
  • The first is a full-line strategy while the second is called a limited line strategy.
  • Line-filling strategies occur when a void in the existing product line has not been filled or a new void has developed due to the activities of competitors or the request of consumers.

• Introduction to top-down approaches

  • In a sense, this more macro lens is looking for "holes" or "vulnerabilities" or "weak spots" in the overall structure or solidarity of the network.
  • These holes or weak spots define lines of division or cleavage in the larger group, and point to how it might be de-composed into smaller units.

• The Lower Class

  • The poverty line is defined as the income level at which an individual becomes eligible for public assistance.
  • While only about 12% of households fall below the poverty threshold at one point in time, the total percentage of households that will, at some point during the course of a single year, fall below the poverty line, is much higher.
  • Many such households waver above and below the line throughout a single year.
  • Lower class households are at the greatest risk of falling below this poverty line, particularly if a job holder becomes unemployed.
  • For all of these reasons, lower class households are the most economically vulnerable in the United States.

• External Sources of Social Change

  • "Organizational strength" falls in line with resource-mobilization theory, arguing that in order for a social movement to organize it must have strong leadership and sufficient resources.
  • Finally, "political opportunity" refers to the receptivity or vulnerability of the existing political system to challenge.
  • This vulnerability can be the result of any of the following (or a combination thereof):

• Urethra

  • Its lining is composed primarily of non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium that becomes transitional near the bladder.
  • The mucuous urethral tissue are mucous membranes that line the interior of the urethra.
  • As the urethra is shorter in females relative to males, they are more vulnerable to bacterial urinary tract infections.

• Compromised Host

  • Invasive devices, for instance intubation tubes, catheters, surgical drains, and tracheostomy tubes all bypass the body's natural lines of defense against pathogens and provide an easy route for infection .
  • Patients' treatments can leave them vulnerable to infection: immunosuppression and antacid treatment undermine the body's defences, while antimicrobial therapy (removing competitive flora and only leaving resistant organisms) and recurrent blood transfusions have also been identified as risk factors.

• Alternative Philosophies

  • A high degree of specialization and its complementary division of labor can make whole classes of workers economically vulnerable in times of recession or as the industries they work in evolve, requiring different skills as the modes of production change.
  • A high degree of specialization and it's complimentary division of labour can make whole classes of workers economically vulnerable in times of recession or as the industries they work in evolve, requiring different skills as the modes of production.
  • A typical approach might be to replace assembly lines with modular work; instead of an employee repeating the same step on each product, they perform several tasks on a single item.
  • Replacing assembly lines with modular work is one example of job enlargement.

• Announcing Security Vulnerabilities

  • Handling a security vulnerability is different from handling any other kind of bug report.
  • Come up with that fix as fast as you can—especially if someone outside the project reported the bug, because then you know there's at least one person outside the project who is able to exploit the vulnerability.

• Gender Differences in Social Interaction

  • The hijras of the Indian subcontinent are a striking example of the way in which the lines between genders can be muddied during the course of social interaction.
  • For example, masculine people expect competition in their friendships.They avoid communicating weakness and vulnerability.
  • In contrast, feminine people are more likely to communicate weakness and vulnerability.

• The paradox of the public pledge

  • There is a tension between a profession's public responsibility and its commitment (also made publicly) to the private, vulnerable client.
  • For many professionals the matter stops with the pledge: "I swear the patient's interests comes first, end of discussion. " Yet this commitment to the vulnerable client is only half the issue, as the business and professional crises of our times illustrate.
  • Instead, that they have agreed to assume a unique ethical burden, to work at the transaction point where issues of significant human value are on the line.
