Visitors’ perceived trust in sincere, authentic, and memorable heritage experiences

ABSTRACT The success of cultural destinations often centres on whether consumers trust the provenance and integrity of the heritage assets, activities, and services therein. However, few studies examine whether this ‘perceived trust’ influences the authenticity, sincerity, and memorability of cultural heritage consumption. To investigate the relationships between these constructs, we surveyed 320 visitors to Iranian cultural heritage sites. The findings suggest that perceived trust positively influences visitors’ perceptions of sincerity, existential authenticity, and object-based authenticity, stimulating memorable experiences in the process. This, in turn, emphasises the antecedent importance of perceived trust in shaping consumption. In the face of increasing commercialisation within the cultural heritage sector more generally, we therefore encourage practitioners to prioritise safeguarding the integrity of their offerings, promoting heritage assets in a manner that stimulates perceived trust.
When a Master Dies: Speculation and Asset Float

An artist’s death constitutes a negative shock to his future production; death permanently decreases the artist’s float. We use this shock to test predictions of speculative trading models with short-selling constraints. As predicted in our model, we find that an artist’s premature death leads to a permanent increase in prices and turnover; this effect being larger for more famous artists. We document that premature death increases prices (by 54.7%) and secondary market volume (by 63.2%).
Non-linear return to human capital for workers of productive sectors in Indonesia

This study is aimed to investigate a typical return to human capital for workers of productive economic sectors in Indonesia. Instead of satisfying Mincer’s linearity assumption, we use a piecewise linear spline function in order to trace marginal returns to education and job tenure and to find out how large the returns to both variables could be moderated by certain variables. The research is conducted on 2609 individuals who work for Indonesian top-five productive sectors in 2016, as recorded in National Work Force Survey (SAKERNAS). We implement quantile regression analysis to produce three levels earning model. The result shows that the return to education varies across schooling level and apparently negative for academy schooling. We also find that job training participation does not always enhance the return to education especially for higher earning workers. The return to job tenure is found to diminish during career length. However, graduating from certain college majors significantly slowdown the diminishing return to job tenure and thus promoting better career. Based on these findings, we outline several ideas concerned to developing higher education and job training provision in national scale for more efficient supply of human capital in the productive sectors.
The nutritional quality of feedstuffs used in dairy goat nutrition in Vojvodina

The study was to conduct to evaluate the chemical composition and nutritive values of feedstuffs (forages and concentrate mixtures) used for dairy goats nutrition in Vojvodina. Samples were collected from six farms, including one organic farm. The results showed that the relative feed values of analyzed forages were in the range of good, medium to lower quality. Average protein content from lowest to highest for investigated forages was: corn silage (Zea Mays) (65.37-82.57g kg? DM), alfalfa haylage (Medicago sativa L.) (159.99-184.17g kg? DM), pasture (185.30g kg? DM), and alfalfa hay (Medicago sativa L.) (167.48-203.60g kg? DM). The non-fibre carbohydrates and protein content most varied in organic hay samples (cv: 29.25% and 19.09%, respectively). Generally, feedstuffs used in organic nutrition, including organic concentrate, were of lower nutritional quality and moreover contained higher amounts of crude fibre and lignin. Especially, a high source of variation was observed in investigated concentrate mixtures for the crude protein content (p<0.0001), ranged from 135.32 to 209.87g kg? DM. Corn silages also varied substantially in their chemical composition and significant difference (p<0.05) was observed in regard to acid detergent fibre (ADF) and lignin content (ranged: ADF: 242.20-319.24g kg? DM; ADL: 27.98-52.54g kg? DM, respectively). Furthermore, pasture contained the most soluble materials during May and June and their content was related inversely to crude fibre amount. This survey highlights that investigated farms still pay insufficient attention to the quality of the feedstuff. For the development of intensive goat farming, greater emphasis should be placed on using higher quality feedstuffs, as well, standards for feed quality must be considered and established.
The Effectiveness of Open-Ended Problems Based Analytic-Synthetic Learning on the Mathematical Creative Thinking Ability of Pre-Service Elementary School Teachers

This study aims to analyze the achievement of mathematical creative thinking ability of pre-service elementary school teachers who received open-ended problems based analytic-synthetic learning and conventional learning. This study is a quasi-experimental research with pretest-posttest control group design to pre-service elementary school teachers in a state university of West Java with 136 students divided into two groups of research subjects, of 68 students each. The instrument used in this research are prior mathematical knowledge test, mathematical creative thinking ability tests, and interview guidance. The results of data analysis using statistic of parametric and non-parametric showed that: 1) The Achievement mathematical creative thinking ability of students who received open-ended problems based learning analytic-synthetic better than those conventional learning is reviewed whole and each level prior mathematical knowledge as well; 2) the effect size of open-ended problems based analytic-synthetic learning on the achievement of students' mathematical creative thinking ability in high category. The research recommended that open-ended problems based analytic-synthetic learning can be used achievement of mathematical creative thinking ability.
Who are business owners and what are they doing?

Business owners have been the fastest-growing part of the UK labour force since at least 2000. Between 2000â€“01 and 2015â€“16, the number of employees grew by 15%, while selfemployment (including those operating as a sole trader or as a partner in a partnership) grew by 25% and the number of directors of companies with at most two directors more than doubled. The number of new businesses created in the UK between 2007â€“08 and 2015â€“16 was higher than in any other OECD country. This is an important labour market trend and is often hailed as a success because small businesses and start-ups are commonly viewed as the engines of growth. This is questionable in light of evidence that the UK has a long tail of low-productivity firms. However, to date, our understanding of business owners has been limited because they are not well captured in traditional survey data sources. Learning more about this group is crucial for understanding labour market trends better and informing public policy as it relates to business owners. In this report, we use the universe of business ownersâ€™ administrative tax records provided by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) to learn more about business owners and their businesses than has previously been possible using survey data. Specifically, using these data, this report documents the numbers, characteristics, incomes and business activities of business owner-managers in the UK. We track the same business owners over time â€“ something that has not been possible before â€“ and use this to analyse patterns of business start-up and closure and to explain substantial falls in sole trader incomes since 2008
The role of asymmetry in the interplay between internal and external factors: Empirical evidence from the US, Brazil, Canada and Mexico

In this study, the real economic activity and monetary policy in the US are examined in comparison with the foreign trade balance and exchange rates, using Qual VAR and nonlinear VAR models. We found that the foreign trade with Brazil, Canada and Mexico do not lead to a possible recession in the US. The value of the domestic currency of Brazil, Canada and Mexico against the US dollar does not contribute to a possible recession over the foreign exchange market. We also show that a contraction in the US economy and contractionary monetary policy will lead to the appreciation of the US dollar by leading to capital inflows. Although the shadow interest rate may have asymmetric effects on the foreign trade balance with Canada and USD/CAD, we find that the foreign trade balance with Mexico and USD/MXN will be affected positively/negatively by an increase/decrease in the shadow interest rate.
Authoritarian resurgence: towards a unified analytical framework

Abstract This introductory note to the Special Issue ‘Autocracy Strikes Back: Authoritarian Resurgence in the Early 21st Century’ situates this collection of articles in the burgeoning literature on authoritarian resurgence, and illustrates the conceptual terrain on which these articles make their contribution. In this regard, we discuss autocratization, authoritarian resilience, democratic transition failure, and autocracy-to-autocracy transition as processes of regime change representing different ways in which authoritarian resurgence may advance. Relatedly, we clarify how these processes of regime change differ from each other and provide a few basic coordinates to frame their comparative analysis.
Unearthing Digital Financial Services and Financial Inclusion: An Empirical Evidence from India

The present study aims at determining the role of information and communication technologies (ICTs), macroeconomic and demographic characteristics of individuals in advancing financial inclusion levels in India. Financial inclusion has been proxied by credit penetration, account ownership and digital financial services by key digital modes (i.e., mobile cellular subscriptions and internet penetration). The secondary data have empirically been analysed by using ordinary least squares estimation at the macro-level and employing logistic regression at the micro-level. The findings suggest that internet usage and mobile penetration rates have a positive association with financial inclusion in India. The study further discovers that individual characteristics and economic circumstances like education level, income level, age, gender, government transfers and saving behaviour are also likely to impact financial inclusion indicators in India. Unearthing a perfect balance between adopting an inclusive financial approach, pro-poor growth, and a technologically advanced infrastructure is indispensable for each facet that has an important role to contribute. Finally, the study recommends that such moves are not an end in themselves, rather expected to shoulder the responsibility of creating new economic order in India via financial inclusion toolbox through sustainable development goals (SDGs).
Recalibrating talent management for hospitality: a youth development perspective

Purpose This paper aims to challenge existing assumptions in talent management (TM) research, showcasing a misalignment between commonly held assumptions and the characteristics of the youth-intensive hospitality sector workforce. Design/methodology/approach Following a review of the TM literature, Piirto’s educational talent pyramid is adopted to conceptualize a recalibration. Drawing on multidisciplinary literatures (i.e. adolescent development, youth employment, positive psychology), and adopting a (talent) developmental approach, a reframing of prevalent TM discourses is enunciated based on the logic that the hospitality workforce is predominantly in a developmental state. Findings TM discourses are misaligned with the workforce composition of the hospitality industry, which is dominated by young, often unexperienced, workers. The need for dramatically recalibrated TM structures and underlying assumptions, centred around a greater attention to the “development” of talent and a more employee-focused and inclusive approach, can facilitate greater alignment between TM and hospitality. Research limitations/implications This paper extends a body of work advocating for more inclusive TM and developmental postures. The contribution, via a hospitality industry context, has been to create linkages between talent- and youth-development discourses. Practical implications This paper outlines a number of implications, among which are a pathway forward for hospitality industry to rebuild its poor HRM image and conversion of “transient” hospitality jobs to career jobs (for youth). Originality/value This paper identifies youth as a distinct workforce entity and suggests that hospitality jobs represent a critical developmental context for young people, resulting in a series of critical implications for TM practice and theorizing.
Simplified or not Simplified? The Different Guises of Mediated English at the European Parliament

In this article we describe a framework for the corpus-based comparative investigation of interpreting and translation, illustrating it through a study of simplification across different modes of language production and across different language pairs. We rely on EPTIC, a corpus featuring plenary speeches at the European Parliament in their interpreted and translated versions, aligned to each other and to their source texts in English<=>Italian and English<=>French. Aiming to shed light on lexical simplification in different mediation modes, we compare interpretations and translations to each other and to comparable original speeches and their edited written versions. Specifically, we compare lexical features (lexical density, type-token ratio, core vocabulary and list head coverage) in interpreting and translation into English from French and Italian, both in a monolingual comparable perspective and an intermodal perspective. Our results do not unconditionally support the simplification hypothesis: lexical simplification is observed in mediated English, but is found to be greater when the source language is French, and in interpretations rather than translations. We conclude that this feature is contingent on both the mediation mode and the source languages involved, and that the influence of the latter seems to be stronger than that of the former.
Exploring HBCU Student Academic Self-Efficacy in Online STEM Courses

Colleges and universities worldwide are actively engaged in the development and application of quality online distance education programs to enhance learning experiences. The current empirical study investigates the self-efficacy of HBCU students enrolled in online and traditional biology and computer science courses using the Survey of Academic Orientations (SAO) academic self-efficacy subscale. Multiple regression analysis revealed that both online students and traditional students in STEM courses demonstrated similar levels of self-efficacy during their academic experiences. Evidence-based implications for improving online pedagogical practices to enhance online student self-efficacy are discussed in the article. Findings from this research study can be utilized by online faculty and distance education professionals to develop approaches to evaluate online learning programs and increase retention rates and academic outcomes in online courses in STEM fields.
How Large Are the Political Costs of Fiscal Austerity?

There are good reasons to think that fiscal austerity can have important costs, and among these is political instability. We suggest that these political costs may be harder to identify than one might assume. Using a broad sample of countries from 1870 to 2011, we ask whether expenditure cuts are associated with increased leader turnover through either regular or irregular means. Ordinary least squares estimates suggest that there is no effect, but this may be due to a bias whereby leaders adopt austerity only when they think they can survive it. As an alternative empirical strategy, we also report instrumental variables estimates in which expenditure cuts are instrumented by exogenous trade and financial shocks, and we continue to observe a null result. Finally, we consider which interpretations of voter behavior might be consistent with our results.
Miller's milieu, or, the cultural moments of late humanism: science and religion in the golden age of science fiction

concept, were to blame for the horrible atrocities committed. Even as Miller argues for the Church to ethically rein science in, then, he does so in such a way that the reader sees a very human struggle. Furthermore, the conflict worsens as the novel progresses and the Church loses its place as the center of knowledge and power. Thus we see the monks in the first section as the peaceful, pastoral caretakers 7 We shall engage this topic much for fully at the beginning of chapter 2, when we discuss Jameson’s Archaeologies of the Future at more length.
A Direct Test of the Dividend Catering Hypothesis

This paper uses a direct measure of investors’ time-varying preference for dividends to test the dividend catering hypothesis proposed in Baker and Wurgler (2004a, 2004b). Specifically, we use Internet search volume for dividend-related keywords as a direct measure of investor preference for dividends (i.e., dividend sentiment). We validate this measure by showing that mutual funds that pay high dividends receive more inflows when the dividend sentiment is stronger. Further, we find that firms initiate or increase dividends when the dividend sentiment is stronger. These effects are concentrated among firms located in states with high dividend sentiment. Differences in risk or other firm characteristics do not explain our findings. Collectively, these results provide support for the catering theory and show that managers cater to investors’ time-varying demand for dividends. JEL classification: G32; G35.
The determinants of the hotel sector revenues: The case of French Polynesia

This article is an empirical analysis focused on the hotel sector in French Polynesia in 2007–2017. One assesses the impact of a set of variables on the French Polynesian hotel sector monthly revenues through a gravity model. First, one specifies a basic model that embeds several potential explanatory variables (the exchange rate (both nominal and real), the rate of unemployment, the geographical distance, some specific historical events, etc.). Next, a second model is specified so as to assess the impact of hotel capacities measured by the number of bedrooms offered. Estimates rest on an unbalanced monthly panel database that embeds main countries from where tourists present in French Polynesia are originated. In order to compare results, each specification is estimated by two methods: classical panel regression (Ordinary least squares /Generalized least squares) and pseudo Poisson maximum likelihood. Both methods lead to coherent results.

Vibrato: What do We Know from Research about This Shaking, Waving, Wobbling Thing Anyway?

Early vibrato study involved investigating acoustical characteristics or properties of vibrato. The first recorded scient ific research on vibrato was conducted by Carl Seashore at the University ofIowa in the 1920s and early 1930s (Herrick, 1983). Seashore first measured the pitch range and speed of vocal vibrato , but soon turned his attention to vio lin vibra to . Soon after, other researchers also began examining violin vibrato. Using vacuum tube voltmeters, tonescopes, and electronic tuning forks to examine individual pitches through film analysis and slowed phonograph record ings, varying degrees of pitch fluctuation and speed were found, depending on the performer (Ches lock, 1931; Ho llinshead, 1932; Small, 1936). Reger (1932) expanded vibrato studies to include the viola, ce llo, and double bass in addition to the vio lin. Using a strobophotographic camera, he found findings similar to the previous violin studies, but additionally he found that vibrato on the lower instruments was slower and wider. He also found that vibrato on louder pitches wassomewhat faster and more narrow than on quieter pitches. This result was confirmed by Fletcher, Blackham, and Geersten (1965). Whi le the earlier stud ies investigated characteristics of vibrato on individual pitches, two more recent studies (Papich and Rainbow, 1974, 1975) described the characteristics of vibrato on violin, viola, cello, and double bass within a musical context. Using electronic means to analyze the frequency of vibrato, they found that vibrato speed differed among the different instruments. In general, the larger the instrument, the slower the vibrato, although there was no difference between the vibrato of vio linists an d violists . Addit ional findings included: performers begin vibrato immediately (from the initial attack of each tone) and tend to oscillate up from the pitch. The mean width of vibrato was widest for cellists and most narrow for double bassists. Papich and Rainbow also compared the vibra to of subjects performing as soloists and as members of an ensemble. Subjects performed musical passages fro m standard literature three times as a solo ist and three times as an ensemb le member. Resul ts revealed that subjects' vibrato was faster and sharper in solo performance than in ensemble performance.
Helping Villages Help Themselves

Key to Myanmar’s current reform is the shift towards people-centered development. In wake of this trend, I/NGOs are localizing their projects through autonomous village organizations. This research appraises the motivations leading to the proliferation and effect of such VOs in Myanmar. Data was gathered through desk review, surveys, FGDs and interviews. Sample for this study was drawn from development projects funded by Livelihoods and Food Security Trust Fund in Myanmar. The findings and conclusions suggest: motivation of I/NGOs for creating VOs are reactive and opportunistic; VOs are established in response to the government’s development strategy and gradual opening of development space in Myanmar. VOs also manifest national mood of economic liberalization, and I/NGO’s unwavering faith on market as the solution to poverty reduction. I/NGOs are setting up VOs for instrumental ends, as channels to implement projects efficiently. Most of the VOs have created a boundary spanning role, working with decision makers at the grassroots to make services work with and for local people.
