Market segmentation is useful in developing the profiles of consumer segments in order to better understand their behavior. The most commonly-used approaches are applied — a food-related lifestyle FRL and the theory of planned behavior. Data from a 2015 nationwide Czech food consumer survey n = 331 of young students were used in a factor analysis to identify sustainability-oriented variables, health-oriented variables as well as social and ethics-oriented variables. These factor scores were used to identify student segments; this was done by means of multilevel latent class cluster analyses. Developing students segments and finding the differences was based on the FRL concept. It can be pointed out that segmentation based on FRL gives good results when dividing consumers into groups, but this has only been verified among young people.
PurposeThe purpose of this study is to segment Czech consumers based on their sustainable food consumption and their relationship with listening to music. Specifically, the authors attempt to answer the following question: is the relationship to music a segmentation difference for young consumers in the case of sustainability? The food-related lifestyle (FRL) concept is used as a framework; little attention has been paid to the FRL profile in the context of certain types of consumer orientations toward sustainability as a social value among consumers in Czechia.Design/methodology/approachIn this research, the authors used 22 items related to sustainability (identify sustainability-oriented and health-oriented variables and socially and ethically oriented variables). The statistical data analysis techniques included factor analysis and cluster analysis. The results of the cluster analysis are the market segments. The total sample consists of 331 university students from Czechia. These data are from a continuous research project. A factor analysis identified six factors with satisfactory reliability coefficients. Using factor scores, a cluster analysis was run, resulting in four segments. These segments were further analyzed and described toward their sustainability orientation.FindingsFRL concept was used to evaluate whether there are differences in the profiles of consumer orientations. Results emphasize the importance of personal characteristics and attitudes toward music, which in turn affect strategies to communicate with different segments to promote sustainable foods. Each segment has statistically significant differences in terms of its FRL.Originality/valueThis study explores the link between attitudes and behavior and suggests strategies to better understand the effect of information on consumer behavior. The results can help practitioners develop labeling strategies for fair-trade and sustainable foods to better focus on specific segments of consumers. This can be relevant when a sustainable food market is just starting, but hopes to reach more maturity in Czechia should be of the utmost importance for investors making long-term investments.

Jde o chirurgický výkon, a proto jako každá operace skýtá svá rizika jak pro matku, tak pro novorozence. Po provedeném císařském řezu je dle studií možné pozorovat souvislost mezi císařským řezem a vznikem gynekologických potíží, komplikací v následujících graviditách a dysfunkcí pánevního dna u matky. Cíl: Hlavním cílem přehledové práce byla prezentace a sumarizace publikovaných poznatků o problematice císařského řezu z hlediska rizik pro matku. Metody: K vyhledávání literárních zdrojů byly využity elektronické informační databáze PubMed, EBSCO, Medvik (BMČ) a databáze Google Scholar. Dokumenty byly vyhledávány ve stanoveném období 2007-2018 pomocí klíčových slov ověřených v třídníku tezauru Medical Subject Headings a kombinování pomocí Booelovských operátorů. Výsledky: Z hlediska krátkodobých rizik je plánovaný císařský řez srovnatelný s vaginálním porodem. Akutní císařský řez je však provázen vyšším výskytem krevních ztrát, viscerálních poranění, infekčních a tromboembolických komplikací. Mezi dlouhodobá rizika, na která může mít císařský řez vliv, lze zařadit gynekologické potíže jako je intermenstruační spotting, dysmenorea a pelvialgie. Významná rizika představuje císařský řez pro následující těhotenství. Závěry: Mnoho studií zabývající se riziky císařského řezu ukazuje rozpoluplné výsledky. V souvislosti se zvyšujícím se počtem císařských řezů jsou zapotřebí další a podrobnější výzkumy, které by pomohly osvětlit další souvislosti. Nelze také zapomínat na to, že císařský řez může představovat rizika nejen pro matku, ale i pro novorozence. ABSTRACT Introduction:Caesarean section is the most common obstetric operation that ends the delivery and pregnancy in the third trimester. It is the surgical procedure and like any other operation, it can pose risks to both, the mother and the newborn child. According to current studies, after the caesarean section is perfermed it is possible to observe a link between the operation and occurence of gynecological problems, complications in subsequent pregnancies, and dysfunction of mother´s pelvic floor. Aim: The main aim of this review was to present and summarize the published findings of the issue of caesarean section from the perspective of maternal risks. Methodology: Electronic information databases PubMed, EBSCO, Medvik (BMČ), and Google Scholar were used for searching literal sources. Documents from the period of 2007-2018 were searched using keywords verified in the Medical Subject Headings thesaurus and combined via using Booel´s operators. Results: In the perspective of short-term risks, planned CS is comparable with vaginal birth. However, acute SC is associated with a higher incidence of blood loss, visceral injury, infectious and throm...
