PENGEMBANGAN PRODUK WISATA DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN TEKNIK TOURISM OPPORTUNITY SPECTRUM TERHADAP KEPUTUSAN BERKUNJUNG (Survei Pada Pengunjung Cukang Taneuh/Green Canyon Kabupaten Ciamis)

Cukang Taneuh located in the village Kertayasa District Cijulang Kudat district is a tourist attraction that environment (ecotourism). Based on data Cukang Taneuh increase the number of tourists during the past four years, but a decline in the percentage of growth in the average number of visits are very significant. 2009 to 2010 the number of percentage increase amounted to only 9.24% of the target achievement of the increase in the number of tourists by 25% in 2010. Not achieving the target of tourist arrivals is presumably due to the lack of development of tourism products so that tourists experience burnout or boredom. One effort to improve and restore the number of tourists is the development of tourism products by using the technique of tourism opportunity spectrum. The purpose of this study was 1) to obtain findings regarding the development of tourism products by using the technique of tourism opportunity spectrum in tourist attractions Cukang Taneuh 2) To obtain findings regarding the decision to visit the tourist attractions Cukang Taneuh 3) To determine the effect of tourism product development by using the technique of tourism opportunity spectrum of the decision to visit the tourist attractions Cukang Taneuh. This research is descriptive and verification, because the method used is explanatory survey method using an ordinal scale. The analysis technique used in this research is the analysis of the path (path analysis), the sampling technique using systematic random sampling method through cross-sectional approach, the samples taken from the overall population of 150 visitors. The study of the hypothesis shows that the development of tourism products by using the technique of tourism opportunity spectrum consisting of accessibility, the characteristics of tourism facilities, social interaction, and the degree of management control has direct and indirect influence on the decision to visit the tourist attractions Cukang Taneuh 93.2% while the remaining 6.8% is influenced by other factors not examined in this study. The dimensions of the development of tourism products by using techniques spectrum of tourism opportunity to get high to low valuation is characteristic of tourism facilities, social interaction, the degree of management control, and accessibility
A field‐based parameterization of wind flow recovery in the lee of dryland plants

Wind erosion is a key component of land degradation in vulnerable dryland regions. Despite a wealth of studies investigating the impact of vegetation and windbreaks on windflow in controlled wind‐tunnel and modelling environments, there is still a paucity of empirical field data for accurately parameterizing the effect of vegetation in wind and sediment transport models. The aim of this study is to present a general parameterization of wind flow recovery in the lee of typical dryland vegetation elements (grass clumps and shrubs), based on their height (h) and optical porosity (θ). Spatial variations in mean wind velocity around eight isolated vegetation elements in Namibia (three grass clumps and five shrubs) were recorded at 0.30 m height, using a combination of sonic and cup anemometry sampled at a temporal frequency of 10 seconds. Wind flow recovery in the lee of the elements was parameterized in an exponential form, uref−u0.1−e−bxh+u0 . The best‐fit parameters derived from the field data were u0 = uref(0.0146θ − 0.4076) and b = 0. 0105θ + 0.1627. By comparing this parameterization to existing models, it is shown that wind recovery curves derived from two‐dimensional wind fence experiments may not be suitable analogues for describing airflow around more complex, three‐dimensional forms. Field‐derived parameterizations such as the one presented here are a crucial step for connecting plant‐scale windflow behaviour to dryland bedform development at landscape scales. © 2016 The Authors.

Effects of Corporate Governance on Not-for-Profit Financial Vulnerability: Evidence from the Australian Aged Care Sector

Financial vulnerability in the not-for-profit (NFP) sector has received little research attention compared to the broad literature in the for-profit sector. Hence, the purpose of the study is to examine the impact of board characteristics on the extent of NFP financial vulnerability (FV) in the Australian aged care sector. More specifically, the study attempts to contribute to the existing literature by addressing the following research question: What is the effect of board characteristics on the extent of financial vulnerability? Panel regression results indicate the extent of FV in the Australian aged care NFP sector is influenced by board independence, board gender diversity, board members’ finances, and aged care-related competence, and the size of the NFP. The study contributes to resource dependency theory (RDT) literature of NFPs by identifying that independent directors bring more resources to an organisation due to their professional experience, expertise, competence, and relationships with other organisations in the external environment, which reduces resource dependency and the level of FV in the NFP sector. The policymakers can consider these factors for framing policies related to board composition in the NFP sector to improve financial health in the Australian aged care NFP sector.
Sequential Consumption-Aware Ranking Model for Recommendations at Twitch

Sequential models to encode past user behavior have shown great progress in web-scale personalized recommendation systems. While most of these models are trained for next-item prediction for end-to-end recommendations, we explore the use of these sequential models in the ranking stage of a multi-stage recommendation system. Sequential models capture short-term user preferences which complement batched features learned over a longer time period. In particular, we explore various design choices in encoding user interaction history as a plug-and-play module in any deep-learning ranking system and introduce a novel way of incorporating time watched in the sequential model in addition to the user interaction sequence. We experiment with Twitch (a community driven live streaming video platform) user-interaction data, present various ablation results
Representative Slice Selection and Multi-View Projection Learning for Pulmonary Tuberculosis Infectiousness Identification Using CT Volume

Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is a major global health threat. Diagnosing PTB infectiousness is vital for clinical decision-making, but existing etiological examination methods do not meet the requirements for speed, accuracy, and cost effectiveness. Developing deep learning models for infectiousness identification based on computed tomography (CT) volume measurements holds promise for meeting these requirements. However, with limited samples and coarse annotations, the large amount of information in the CT volume poses a challenge for models to distinguish information related to patient-level labels, which often leads to severe model overfitting. In this study, A dual-branch framework is developed for identifying PTB infectiousness using CT volume. To address the issue of imbalance between the CT volume information and the patient-level labels, we propose a method for selecting representative slices to reduce redundant information and adopt a multiple-instance learning framework to improve label supervision. Furthermore, we incorporate multi-view projection information to compensate for the deficiency of global information caused by using single-dimensional slices as the input. Experimental results demonstrate that our strategy effectively mitigates overfitting and achieves desirable performance on an external test set, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 80.48%. This performance is superior to that obtained for models using the 3D CT volume or 2D projection images alone as the input.
Hamburg University Radiocarbon Dates IV

This list consists of dates of soil samples from selected soil profiles in Tunisia, Sudan, and Argentina. The profiles from Tunisia were taken to elucidate ages of typic paleosols of paleoclimatic significance. The Sudan profiles increase our understanding of pedogenesis of Sudanese Vertisols. The existence of pedoturbation in these profiles is further explored and questioned. The profiles of Argentina were dated to supplement information from chemical and micromorphological studies.
Factors Influencing Productivity and Sustainability of Small-Scale Beef Farms in Thailand

Over the past few decades, Thailand has witnessed a decline in production from small-scale beef cattle farming, accompanied by a reduced interest from younger generations in continuing family farming. The present study aimed to determine the state of these farms based on good agricultural practices (GAP) and explored factors influencing beef herd productivity and the willingness of the next generation to sustain the family business. Data from 1,175 questionnaires from 34 provinces was analyzed using SPSS. Beef herds with higher calving rates (CR ≥ 60%) had better herd, reproductive, and health management scores compared with the lower CR (<60%) group. Results from a negative binomial regression showed that factors, i.e., prediction of calving date and routine deworming positively impacted CR, while others like feeding types, mineral supplements, vaccination and hormonal estrus synchronization negatively correlated with CR. Expert opinions (N = 83) highlighted the importance of recording systems, heat detection programs, pregnancy diagnosis, feeding type, sufficient qualified water supply and mineral supplements. The use of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and GLM analysis also noted that farm potential score, farmer gender, and occupations were pivotal for the sustainability of beef farming. This research aids in strategizing for enhanced sustainable beef production in Thailand.
Decadal-scale variability in the meridional circulation of Upper Circumpolar Deep Water and its impact on primary production in the Southern Ocean

The Southern Ocean is vitally important in understanding climate change, both regionally and globally. This is due partly to physical factors such as the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), which facilitates the interchange of heat, nutrients and carbon dioxide between the world oceans. These physical factors also include the seasonal variation in sea-ice around the Antarctic continent and the strong Southern Hemisphere westerly winds, which are responsible for the divergence-driven upwelling of deep water to the surface, south of the Polar Front. The Upper branch of the Circumpolar Deep Water (UCDW) is warm, relative to Antarctic waters, and is high in dissolved inorganic carbon and nutrients, in particular iron. It contributes to carbon dioxide regulation, therefore, through temperature effects on solubility, the out-gassing of carbon dioxide and also via its effect on primary production and the biological pump. This project examines long-term trends in the meridional circulation of UCDW and in upper-ocean structure, primarily in the Australian region (110160E, 40-70S) of the Southern Ocean. This is achieved by the use of the Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA) 2.0. 2/2.0. 4 reanalysis of ocean climate variability, which combines output from an ocean global circulation model with observational data, through a sequential data estimation scheme. Trends are produced for 1958-2007, in five-degree latitudinal bands that approximate the ACC frontal zones, for UCDW and mixed layer hydrodynamic variables and these are related to trends in Southern Hemisphere winds and global climate indices. In addition, similar trends are also produced for the shorter period 1997-2007, for which satellite data are available, and these trends are related to trends in chlorophyll-a, a proxy for phytoplankton biomass, and primary production. As well as these trends, interannual variability in chlorophyll-a in spring and summer, and its controls, are also studied. Considerable interannual variability, both in the magnitude and phenology of the bloom, is found in chlorophyll-a, as well as differences in its controls, depending on the season and latitudinal zone. In spring near the Antarctic continent, sea-ice concentration and irradiance are major controls. However, in summer, it is wind stress, together with the effect of UCDW via sea-surface
Regional difference and catastrophe of climate change over Urumqi River Basin.

Based on climatic data of two stations in the Urumqi River Basin,methods of regression analysis and moving average were used to study the climatic changing trend of the study area under the background of global warming.Results showed that the temperature was relatively low in the 1960s,1970s and 1980s and high in the 1990s,in other words the temperature was in a decreasing trend before the 1980s and in a ascending trend after the 1990s due to the rise of temperature in autumn and winter;the precipitation of upstream river basin showed a downward trend from the 1960s to the 1980s,then showed the increasing trend obviously.Since the beginning of the 21st century,the precipitation increasing has especially been rapid.The precipitation of the downstream in the 1960s was little,then increased gradually,and quickly increased in 2000s.The temperature change in the lower reach area was more obvious than that in upper reach area.The warming trend in autumn and winter was more obvious than that in spring and summer.Also the precipitation in the upstream area was more than that in the downstream area,and the mountains area's more than plain's.What is more,methods of T test,YAMAMOTO(SNR),Mann-Kendall,Cramer and Pettitt were employed to analyze the climatic break,indicating that the abrupt changes of temperature and precipitation were not obvious in the study area,and different test methods had different results,however it showed that temperature in spring and summer had abrupt change in 1997.The temperature abrupt change in autumn and winter happened in the late 1980s and the early 1990s.The abrupt change of temperature in autumn and winter was earlier than that in spring and summer.The abrupt change of precipitation in the upstream area might occur in the 1990s,while the abrupt change of precipitation in the downstream area might occur in the late 1970s and the early 1980s,about 10 years earlier than that in the upstream area.
Displaced Women and Sexual and Reproductive Health Services: Exploring Challenges Women With Sexual and Reproductive Health Face in Displaced Camps of Nigeria

Background: Displaced women are affected by sexual and reproductive health (SRH) challenges, often exacerbated by poor living conditions, limited access to healthcare, and cultural norms. The aim of this study was to explore SRH issues, the effects of displacement into camps on women’s SRH, and challenges with accessing and utilizing SRH services among women in camps for the displaced in Benue State, Nigeria. Methods: A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed to gain an in-depth understanding of the women’s SRH challenges, based on 12 focus group discussions between women of different age groups and eight in-depth interviews. The data were collected using tape recorders and notes. Data analysis followed a thematic approach. Ethical approval and appropriate consent were obtained for the study. Results: The majority of research participants stated that sexually transmitted disease/human immunodeficiency virus was the most serious SRH issue in the camp. Their stay in camp enhanced the women’s vulnerability and exposed them to sex in exchange for basic needs/palliatives, increasing their SRH challenges. Access to and use of SRH services were impacted by their migratory lifestyle, cultural and religious views, lack of SRH knowledge, and other difficulties. Short-term approaches to intervention, health providers’ poor communication, and attitudes were reported to affect SRH service use. Conclusion: There is an urgent need for comprehensive interventions to address SRH challenges among women in displaced settings, including proper coordination of humanitarian services, education on transactional sex, encouragement of men to participate in SRH initiatives, and expansion of access to services, as well as the training and hiring of culturally competent healthcare providers.
Tsc1 Loss in VIP-Lineage Cortical Interneurons Results in More VIP+ Interneurons and Enhanced Excitability

The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway is a powerful regulator of cell proliferation, growth, synapse maintenance and cell fate. While intensely studied for its role in cancer, the role of mTOR signaling is just beginning to be uncovered in specific cell types that are implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders. Previously, loss of the Tsc1 gene, which results in hyperactive mTOR, was shown to affect the function and molecular properties of GABAergic cortical interneurons (CINs) derived from the medial ganglionic eminence. To assess if other important classes of CINs could be impacted by mTOR dysfunction, we deleted Tsc1 in a caudal ganglionic eminence-derived interneuron group, the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)+ subtype, whose activity disinhibits local circuits. Tsc1 mutant VIP+ CINs reduced their pattern of apoptosis from postnatal days 15–20, resulting in increased VIP+ CINs. The mutant CINs exhibited synaptic and electrophysiological properties that could contribute to the high rate of seizure activity in humans that harbor Tsc1 mutations.
How old is the water? Simulating groundwater age at the watershed scale

A three dimensional direct-age finite element simulation model was developed based on advective-dispersive transport with a zero-order source term (after Goode, 1996). The approach provides a continuous distribution of groundwater age, and accounts for age mixing. The model is applied to predict and visualize the steady state age distributions which evolve within natural and stressed (pumped) watershed-scale flow systems, including the major well fields within the multi-aquifer Waterloo Moraine. The age of the pumped water is compared with estimates based on particle tracking, with both methods showing characteristic age distributions controlled by the regional hydrogeologic structure.
Imaging and quantification of spreading and trapping of carbon dioxide in saline aquifers using meter‐scale laboratory experiments

The role of capillary forces during buoyant migration of CO2 is critical toward plume immobilization within the postinjection phase of a geological carbon sequestration operation. However, the inherent heterogeneity of the subsurface makes it very challenging to evaluate the effects of capillary forces on the storage capacity of these formations and to assess in situ plume evolution. To overcome the lack of accurate and continuous observations at the field scale and to mimic vertical migration and entrapment of realistic CO2 plumes in the presence of a background hydraulic gradient, we conducted two unique long‐term experiments in a 2.44 m × 0.5 m tank. X‐ray attenuation allowed measuring the evolution of a CO2‐surrogate fluid saturation, thus providing direct insight into capillarity‐dominated and buoyancy‐dominated flow processes occurring under successive drainage and imbibition conditions. The comparison of saturation distributions between two experimental campaigns suggests that layered‐type heterogeneity plays an important role on nonwetting phase (NWP) migration and trapping, because it leads to (i) longer displacement times (3.6 months versus 24 days) to reach stable trapping conditions, (ii) limited vertical migration of the plume (with center of mass at 39% versus 55% of aquifer thickness), and (iii) immobilization of a larger fraction of injected NWP mass (67.2% versus 51.5% of injected volume) as compared to the homogenous scenario. While these observations confirm once more the role of geological heterogeneity in controlling buoyant flows in the subsurface, they also highlight the importance of characterizing it at scales that are below seismic resolution (1–10 m).
Explaining Chinese Consumers’ Continuous Consumption Intention toward Prepared Dishes: The Role of Perceived Risk and Trust

With the rapid development and the increasing importance of the consumer market of prepared dishes in China, it is imperative to study the formation mechanism of Chinese consumers’ continuous consumption intention (CCI) toward prepared dishes for promoting the sustainable development of Chinese prepared dishes industry. The aim of this study is to study the formation mechanism and the role of perceived risk and trust in it. Based on the Expectation Confirmation Model, this study constructed a model of continuous consumption intention of prepared dishes by introducing perceived risk and trust. 381 adult consumers were surveyed and the data was analyzed by an Exploratory Factor Analysis and the Partial Least Squares Structure Equation Model. The results showed that: (1) The confirmation of expectation had a significant positive impact on trust and satisfaction, a significant negative impact on the perceived risk (PR). Trust and satisfaction had a significant positive, while PR had a significant negative, impact on CCI. (2) The dimensions of PR included social, health, quality, psychological and purchasing risk, among which quality risk had a significant negative impact on CCI. (3) All dimensions of trust (ability, integrity, benevolence and government trust) had a significant positive impact on CCI, among which integrity trust played the most important role. (4) Overall, trust had a significant negative impact on PR. Benevolence trust could mitigate all dimensions of PR, integrity trust could mitigate all dimensions of PR except health risk, and ability trust, government trust could only mitigate quality risk. Therefore, the enterprises should pay high attention to the quality of their products and the establishment and maintenance of consumer trust, and the government should establish an authoritative image.
The Management of Postoperative Recurrence in Crohn’s Disease

Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease with different phenotypes of presentation, inflammatory, penetrating, or stricturing disease, that significantly impacts patient well-being and quality of life. Despite advances in medical therapy, surgery sometimes represents the only treatment to address complications, such as strictures, fistulas, or abscesses. Minimizing postoperative recurrence (POR) remains a major challenge for both clinicians and patients; consequently, various therapeutic strategies have been developed to prevent or delay POR. The current review outlines an updated overview of POR management. We focused on diagnostic assessment, which included endoscopic examination, biochemical analyses, and cross-sectional imaging techniques, all crucial tools used to accurately diagnose this condition. Additionally, we delved into the associated risk factors contributing to POR development. Furthermore, we examined recent advances in the prophylaxis and treatment of POR in CD.
