External Factors. Chapter 4 will focus on external factors. First, it will discuss whether regulatory changes have affected the Conventions’ envisaged aim of unifor- mity; and if this is the case, to what extent. The regulatory changes will be assessed in light of both revisions to the initial text, and the emergence of new consumer rights at regional and domestic levels, as exemplified by the adoption in the European Union in 2004 of Regulation No 261/2004 establishing common rules on compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of denied boarding and of cancellation or long delay of flights (hereinafter ‘EU Regulation 261/2004’).61 Second, it will review the response formulated by Courts to the possible elements found in Chapter 2. The outcome of this analysis is designed to apply the interpretation principles detailed in Articles 31 to 33 of the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (hereinafter the ‘1969 Vienna Convention’)62 to the possible aim of uniformity of the Conventions. Third, it will assess the potential consequences of having the Conven- tions drafted in and translated into different languages.
External Factors. 6.1 Withholdings If at any time the Borrower is required by law to make any deduction or withholding from any payment due from the Borrower to the Bank, the Borrower shall simultaneously pay to the Bank whatever additional amount is necessary to ensure that the Bank receives a net sum equal to the payment it would have received had no deduction or withholding been made.

External Factors. Grown Rogue's business strategy includes commercial scale production and sales of cannabis. The success of this strategy is subject to numerous external factors, such as the availability of suitable land packages, Grown Rogue's ability to attract, train and retain qualified personnel, the ability to access capital, the ability to obtain required state and local permits and licenses, the prevailing laws and regulatory environment of each jurisdiction in which Grown Rogue may operate, which are subject to change at any time, the degree of competition within the industries and markets in which Grown Rogue operates and its effect on Grown Rogue's ability to retain existing and attract new customers. Some of these factors are beyond Grown Rogue's control.
External Factors. Lastly, a few external factors influenced the delivery of OHS sessions. The recurrence of OHS, the duration of sessions, number of attendees, and abundance of webinars during this period could have operated as barriers. The sessions were hosted every two weeks for two months. Presenters recommended that the interval of sessions could be monthly. The ON suggested that the sessions could have been shorter as well. OHS #1 and #2 were two hours long, while OHS #3 and #4 were close to an hour long. Another thing the presenters noted as barriers were external factors. OHS was hosted in June and July 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic. One presenter mentioned that participants may have been inundated with many webinar invitations from other organizations. Therefore, OHS attendance might have been influenced by the saturation of COVID-19 webinars being promoted at the same time OHS were being promoted. The series attendance was lower than anticipated, as explained by presenters. For future OHS, a presenter suggested distinguishing themselves from other organizations and virtual events. A method suggested by a presenter was targeted marketing for future OHS. Table 4: Themes Associated with Evaluation Question #4: What were barriers to delivering OHS? Theme Description Data Source Example Low interaction When OHS note taker or presenter comment on the engagement of participants.

External Factors. External factors are circumstances, conditions, situations, or the external environment of a company or entrepreneur (Xxxxxx, 2011). External factors are factors that have an important impact on SMEs in economic growth and job creation to face theneed to change business models from the perspective of entrepreneurs and business opportunities (Xxxxxxx et al., 2014). Inglehat and Xxxxx (2000) found empirical evidence that economic development can predict changes in culture and socio- political life. This impact causes businesses to require external factors related to entrepreneurial activities, such as initiative- taking, resource consolidation, management, relative autonomy and risk taking. The same thing was also examined by Xxx (2018), who conducted research to understand the relationship between the unique characteristics of national culture and entrepreneurship and the forces of the economic environment, political/legal and social which will affect the level of entrepreneurship, and ultimately the global competitiveness of the nation. Then Man et al., (2002), state the lack of market power and the turbulent nature of the emerging markets faced by many SMEs, often making them more vulnerable to externalinfluences than larger firms. While Xxxxxxxx et al. (2007) stated that entrepreneurial orientation is influenced by external factors, and this is necessary to develop individuals.
External Factors. Since 2013 important changes in the geopolitical context have taken place in Europe as well as Asia that are likely to shape how ‘third countries’ impact on EU–Japan security relations. In the European context, the Russian annexation of the Crimea in 2014 and mounting threats since then directed at other East European states have raised the spectre of a prolonged conflict with Russia. Chinese maritime assertiveness in the China seas, involving the Chinese declaration of an Air Defence Identification Zone in the East China Sea in 2013, and the North Korean missile launches, including trajectories over Japanese territory, have heightened tensions and the possibility of military conflict. Clearly EU–Japan security cooperation does not exist in isolation but takes place within broader and often longer-established security networks, forcing both sides to take the interests of so-called third parties into consideration. For the EU and even more for Japan, the US has been crucial in shaping and sustaining these networks. Most of the EU member states are part of NATO and embrace a broader defence arrangement with the United States. In contrast, Japan finds itself in a bilateral defence relationship via the US–Japan Security Treaty of 1952, which continues to bind Tokyo to the foreign policy decisions of Washington (Xxxxxx 2016). An example is the issue of non-proliferation, where Japan’s position of simultaneously promoting nuclear disarmament and relying on extended nuclear deterrence by the United States has sometimes invited criticism both within the country as well as from abroad (Xxxxxxxx and Tsuruoka 2019). North Korea’s escalating nuclear threats and assertive Chinese maritime actions in the East and South China Sea affect the security of both the United States and – more directly – Japan. The perceived need for US protection is to some extent reinforced by the Japanese image of the EU as being either unable militarily or unwilling politically to be a genuine security provider. It is of course true that the EU is primarily an economic rather than a military entity, such as NATO, and is consequently limited in terms of providing military assistance. The reference to unwillingness relates to the so-called neutral role the EU has adopted in the maritime conflict between China and Japan, especially over the territorial claims of the Senkaku/Diaoyu islands. The perceived lack of EU military clout and its neutral political stance amount to what Tsuruoka (2008) co...
External Factors. Subdivision design must provide for external factors of community-wide concern including the proper extension of major streets, extensions of utilities, preservation of major drainage channels and related flood lands, and the reservation of needed school and park sites. Additional external factors to be considered include proximity to local, community, and regional shopping centers; places of employment; educational and recreational facilities; and to public transportation.
External Factors. The external factors are the outside factors, which can not be studied on a hill slope. They usually affect a larger area and hence are called regional factors. These factors include concentrated rain fall and earthquakes. Since many a time these factors are responsible for initiation of landslides, they are also known as triggering factors.
