Abstract. This paper describes the examination of three practical tsunami run-up models that can be used to assess the tsunami impact on human beings in densely populated areas. The first of the examined models applies a uniform bottom roughness coefficient throughout the study area. The second uses a very detailed topographic data set that includes the building height information integrated on a Digital Elevation Model (DEM); and the third model utilizes different bottom roughness coefficients, depending on the type of land use and on the percentage of building occupancy on each grid cell. These models were compared with each other by taking the one with the most detailed topographic data (which is the second) as reference. The analysis was performed with the aim of identifying how specific features of high resolution topographic data can influence the tsunami run-up characteristics. Further, we promote a method to be used when very detailed topographic data is unavailable and discuss the related limitations. To this purpose we demonstrate that the effect of buildings on the tsunami flow can be well modeled by using an equivalent roughness coefficient if the topographic data has no information of building height. The results from the models have been utilized to quantify the tsunami impact by using the tsunami casualty algorithm. The models have been applied in Padang city, Indonesia, which is one of the areas with the highest potential of tsunami risk in the world.

The main purpose of this article is to present the proposal of an innovative approach to optimizing the calculation methodology in the conditions of specific furniture production -single beds. The proposal presented is based on the results of actual research of the anthropometric measurements of the Slovak adult population, which indicate the trend of changes and the following modified dimensional requirements for the production. Our review of available scientific proposals for innovative calculation methodology proved the need for potential of concept of the variable costing at the base of cost classification to variable and fixed items according to capacity using. The practical imperfections of the information provided in the absorption costing system and its general rigidities was the reason of the application selected methodology. The authors proposed an alternative for calculation methodology by the determination of overheads rates and delimitation individual level of contribution margin.Keywords: calculation, contribution margin, bed furniture dimensions, ergonomics, secular trends, innovation. DOI: 10.21272/mmi.2017.4-28Formulation of the problem. A person, especially its size and power capabilities, is a primary factor when designing and assessing the arrangement of workplaces, when producing the ergonomically correct working tools, machinery and furniture. The design of optimal workplace (furniture, working tools, etc.) is always based on measurements of the target sampling unit which is compared to the data of the whole population living in a certain area, usually broken down into men and women. Population data are detected usually on the sample at a certain point in time. They may change over a longer time from various reasons (such as the way of nutrition of the population, lifestyle, etc.). In addition to changes in time, important anthropometric characteristics may vary secularly and in space. It is related to the characteristics of the human population living in certain space. Secular trend refers to the tendency in increasing of the body size of successive generations compared to the previous generations. The final state is evaluated and not the speed with which the final state was reached. The main purpose of this article is to present the proposal of an innovative approach to optimizing the calculation methodology in the conditions of specific furniture production -single beds. The proposal presented is based on the results of actual research of the anthropometric measurements of the Slovak adult population, which indicate the trend of changes and the following modified dimensional requirements for the production. This innovative approach offers more exact information for management at the decision making tasks, as in strategic as well as 1 This research was supported by project APVV-16-0297 -Updating of anthropometric database of Slovak population, project VEGA No.

“…Higher socioeconomic status implies higher income and is associated with better education, resulting in better nutrition, better child care, and better medical and social services. 7 The association between grip strength and anthropometry in some countries has shown variations in results. The normative value or prediction formula in one population should not be used in other population.…”

Objective: To examine the prediction of Jamar grip strength value by using aneroid sphygmomanometer cuff method in adults.Methods: This study involved 120 subjects, aged 20-59 years old. The grip strength of subjects were measured using Jamar dynamometer and aneroid sphygmomanometer cuff method. Spearman analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between variables and grip strength. Forward stepwise was used to analyze the regression of Jamar dynamometer using aneroid sphygmomanometer cuff method.
