PEST Analysis
In business analysis, PEST analysis ("political, economic, socio-cultural and technological") describes a framework of macro-environmental factors used in the environmental scanning component of strategic management. It is part of an external environment analysis when conducting a strategic analysis or doing market research, and gives an overview of the different macro-environmental factors to be taken into consideration. It is a strategic tool for understanding market growth or decline, business position, potential and direction for operations. PEST analysis was developed in 1967 by Aguilar as an environmental scanning framework. Aguilar argued that firms must scan the economic, technical, political and social categories (ETPS) that may affect strategy, defining environmental scanning as follows, “scanning for information about events and relationships in a company’s outside environment, the knowledge of which would assist top management in its task of charting the company’ ...

PEST Sequence
A PEST sequence is a peptide sequence that is rich in proline (P), glutamic acid (E), serine (S), and threonine (T). This sequence is associated with proteins that have a short intracellular half-life; therefore, it is hypothesized that the PEST sequence acts as a signal peptide for protein degradation. This protein degradation may be mediated via the proteasome or calpain A calpain (; , ) is a protein belonging to the family of calcium-dependent, non-lysosomal cysteine proteases (protease, proteolytic enzymes) expressed ubiquitously in mammals and many other organisms. Calpains constitute the C2 family of proteas .... Other signals thought to identify proteins for degradation include cyclin destruction boxes, which are amino acid sequences that mark cell-cycle proteins for destruction.

Specialized Unit For Special Tactics
The Specialized Unit for Special Tactics (Slovenian: Posebna Enota za Specialno Taktiko (PEST; eng. "FIST")) is a special forces unit of the Slovenian Military Police. PEST is a military and special forces component of the Special Military Police Unit (SMPU) of Slovenian Armed Forces. This is a small platoon-sized unit, trained and equipped for special operations such as: Counter-Terrorism, Combat Search and Rescue, Maritime Opposed and Unopposed Boarding Operations, Deep Reconnaissance, Direct Action, Sabotage, Unconventional Warfare, etc. Common weaponry The unit is trained and equipped according to United States specifications for SWAT Special Weapons and Tactics Unit. *Beretta M92 handgun * H&K SFP9-SD handgun *SIG Sauer P226 handgun *H&K MP5 submachine gun *FN F2000 assault rifle *Zastava M70 assault rifle * FN Minimi Para light machine gun *FN MAG general purpose machine gun * FN M2HB QCB heavy machine gun * H&K GMG automatic grenade launcher *PGM Ultima Ratio Commando ...
