Understanding and overcoming negative impacts of tourism in city destinations: conceptual model and strategic framework

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to clarify the mechanisms of conflict between residents and tourists and to propose a conceptual model to assess the impact of such conflicts on city tourism and to suggest a framework to develop strategies to deal with such conflicts and mitigate negative impacts. Design/methodology/approach Based on desk research a conceptual model was developed which describes the drivers of conflicts between residents and visitors. Building blocks of the model are visitors and their attributes, residents and their attributes, conflict mechanisms and critical encounters between residents and visitors, and indicators of the quality and quantity of tourist facilities. Subsequently the model was used to analyse the situation in Hamburg. For this analysis concentration values were calculated based on supply data of hotels and AirBnB, app-data, and expert consultations. Findings The study shows that in Hamburg there are two key mechanisms that stimulate conflicts: (1) the number of tourists in relation to the number of residents and its distribution in time and space; (2) the behaviour of visitors measured in the norms that they pose onto themselves and others (indecent behaviour of tourists). Research limitations/implications The model that was developed is a conceptual model, not a model with which hypotheses can be tested statistically. Refinement of the model needs further study. Practical implications Based on the outcomes of the study concrete strategies were proposed with which Hamburg could manage and control the balance of tourism. Originality/value City tourism has been growing in the last decades, in some cases dramatically. As a consequence, conflicts between tourists, tourism suppliers and inhabitants can occur. The rise of the so-called sharing economy has recently added an additional facet to the discussion. The ability to assess and deal with such conflicts is of importance for the way city tourism can develop in the future. This study is an attempt to contribute to the understanding of the mechanism behind and the nature of those conflicts, and the way they can be managed and controlled. Besides it illustrates how data generated by social media (apps) can be used for such purposes.
Effects and Mechanisms of Luteolin, a Plant-Based Flavonoid, in the Prevention of Cancers via Modulation of Inflammation and Cell Signaling Molecules

Luteolin, a flavonoid, is mainly found in various vegetables and fruits, including carrots, cabbages, onions, parsley, apples, broccoli, and peppers. Extensive research in vivo and in vitro has been performed to explore its role in disease prevention and treatment. Moreover, this compound possesses the ability to combat cancer by modulating cell-signaling pathways across various types of cancer. The studies have confirmed that luteolin can inhibit cancer-cell survival and proliferation, angiogenesis, invasion, metastasis, mTOR/PI3K/Akt, STAT3, Wnt/β-catenin, and cell-cycle arrest, and induce apoptosis. Further, scientific evidence describes that this compound plays a vital role in the up/down-regulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) in cancer therapy. This review aims to outline the anti-cancer mechanisms of this compound and its molecular targets. However, a knowledge gap remains regarding the studies on its safety and efficacy and clinical trials. Therefore, it is essential to conduct more research based on safety, efficacy, and clinical trials to explore the beneficial role of this compound in disease management, including cancer.
Near‐surface hydraulic conductivity of northern hemisphere glaciers

The hydrology of near‐surface glacier ice remains a neglected aspect of glacier hydrology despite its role in modulating meltwater delivery to downstream environments. To elucidate the hydrological characteristics of this near‐surface glacial weathering crust, we describe the design and operation of a capacitance‐based piezometer that enables rapid, economical deployment across multiple sites and provides an accurate, high‐resolution record of near‐surface water‐level fluctuations. Piezometers were employed at 10 northern hemisphere glaciers, and through the application of standard bail–recharge techniques, we derive hydraulic conductivity (K) values from 0.003 to 3.519 m day−1, with a mean of 0.185 ± 0.019 m day−1. These results are comparable to those obtained in other discrete studies of glacier near‐surface ice, and for firn, and indicate that the weathering crust represents a hydrologically inefficient aquifer. Hydraulic conductivity correlated positively with water table height but negatively with altitude and cumulative short‐wave radiation since the last synoptic period of either negative air temperatures or turbulent energy flux dominance. The large range of K observed suggests complex interactions between meteorological influences and differences arising from variability in ice structure and crystallography. Our data demonstrate a greater complexity of near‐surface ice hydrology than hitherto appreciated and support the notion that the weathering crust can regulate the supraglacial discharge response to melt production. The conductivities reported here, coupled with typical supraglacial channel spacing, suggest that meltwater can be retained within the weathering crust for at least several days. Not only does this have implications for the accuracy of predictive meltwater run‐off models, but we also argue for biogeochemical processes and transfers that are strongly conditioned by water residence time and the efficacy of the cascade of sediments, impurities, microbes, and nutrients to downstream ecosystems. Because continued atmospheric warming will incur rising snowline elevations and glacier thinning, the supraglacial hydrological system may assume greater importance in many mountainous regions, and consequently, detailing weathering crust hydraulics represents a research priority because the flow path it represents remains poorly constrained.
A Possible Tectonic Response Between the Qingchuan Faultand the Beichuan‐Yingxiu Fault of the Longmen Shan Fault Zone? Evidence From Geologic Observations by Paleoseismic Trenching and Radiocarbon Dating

The Qingchuan fault is located along the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau and connects to the Beichuan‐Yingxiu fault of the Longmen Shan fault zone (LMSF), which produced the 2008 MW 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake and 2013 MW6.6 Lushan earthquake. After the two devastating earthquakes, whether the Qingchuan fault could produce a large earthquake or not and its tectonic activity is highly debated. Based on the detailed field investigations and paleoseismic trenching combined with multiple radiocarbon dating, we suggest that the Qingchuan fault might not show intense fault activity (or specific dextral strike‐slip deformation) since the late Quaternary. The deformation evidence revealed in the trench indicates a pattern of tensional deformation in the strata, which is inconsistent with the regional compressional tectonic stress field. Moreover, the timing of these deformation events coincides with that of paleoearthquakes that occurred on the Beichuan‐Yingxiu fault. Therefore, we speculate that the large earthquakes that occurred on the northern segment of the Beichuan‐Yingxiu fault highly likely contribute to the formation of the tensional structures observed along the Qingchuan fault. The uplift of the Minshan Mountain affects the tectonic deformation and seismic activity of the northern segment of the LMSF. However, considering that the LMSF shows forward‐thrust characteristics, the fault activity of the Qingchuan fault was possibly the most affected by the uplifting of the Minshan Mountain. In other words, this specific regional tectonic frame might constrain the buildup of tectonic stress and seismic potential for generating large earthquakes on the Qingchuan fault.

FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH DEVELOPING CHRONIC DAILY HEADACHE IN MIGRAINE PATIENTS

To examine the factors associated with developing chronic daily headache in migraine patients. Two hundred patients with migraine were selected for this descriptive study conducted from 01-Sept-2023 to 30-Nov-2023 at the Department of Medicine, Lady Reading Hospital, Medical Teaching Institution, Peshawar. Factors associated with developing chronic daily headache were assessed. SPSS 23 was employed for analyzing the data. The mean age was 38.09±12.03 years. The frequency of chronic daily headache in our study was 31 (15.5%). Female gender (p = 0.02), smoking (p = 0.0001), high caffeine intake (p = 0.0001), painkiller overuse (p = 0.0001) and obesity (p = 0.0001) were factors significantly identified for developing chronic daily headache. We conclude that the factors for developing chronic daily headache in migraine patients were female gender, smoking, high intake of pain relieving medicines, high intake of caffeinated drinks and obesity.
On the Momentum Flux of Internal Tides

The action of the barotropic tide over seafloor topography is the major source of internal waves at the bottom of the ocean. This internal tide has long been recognized to play an important role in ocean mixing. Here it is shown that the internal tide is also associated with a net (domain integrated) momentum flux. The net flux occurs as a result of the Doppler shifting of the internal tide at the point of generation by near-bottom mean flows. Linear theory is presented that predicts the amplitude of the wave momentum flux. The net flux scales with the bottom flow speed and the topographic wavenumber to the fourth power and is directed opposite to the bottom flow. For realistic topography, the predicted peak momentum flux occurs at scales of order 10 km and smaller, with magnitudes of order 10−3–10−2 N m−2. The theory is verified by comparison with a suite of idealized internal wave-resolving simulations. The simulations show that, for the topography considered, the wave momentum flux radiates away from the bottom and enhances mean and eddying flow when the tidal waves dissipate in the upper ocean. Our results suggest that internal tides may play an important role in forcing the upper ocean.
A systematic review and Bayesian meta-analysis assessing intelectin-1 in cancer patients and healthy individuals

Background Intelectin-1 (ITLN1) is an adipokine with multiple physiological functions, including a role in tumour formation and development. Previous research reported variable ITLN1 levels for cancer patients and healthy individuals. This study aimed to compare ITLN1 concentrations between controls and cancer patients and to determine the adipokine’s physiological level. Methods Five databases were searched in January 2022 for studies that measured the level of ITLN1 in adults that were healthy or diagnosed with any type of cancer. After title, abstract and full-text screening, the methodological quality of the studies was assessed. The extracted data were meta-analysed using the R language and Bayesian statistical techniques. Results Overall, 15 studies compared circulating ITLN1 levels between healthy individuals (n=3424) and cancer patients (n=1538), but no differences were observed between these studies. ITLN1 was not different between groups in an analysis that evaluated high-quality studies only (n=5). The meta-analysis indicated considerably higher ITLN1 levels in gastrointestinal (i.e., colorectal, pancreatic, gastric) cancer compared to controls, while the other cancer types did not demonstrate differences between groups. The mean ITLN1 level of healthy individuals was 234 ± 21ng/ml (n=136), while the average value in high-quality studies (n=52) was 257 ± 31ng/ml. Conclusion Different types of cancer showed different circulating ITLN1 patterns. Circulating ITLN1 concentration was higher in gastrointestinal cancer compared to controls, with strong support from the meta-analytical model. Our analysis also determined the mean ITLN1 level in healthy individuals; this is a crucial starting point for understanding how this cytokine associates with diseases. Two-thirds of the studies were of low methodological quality and thus, future work in this field must focus on improved methods.

Towards in-field assessment of humeral and scapular kinematics: a comparison between laboratory and field settings using inertial sensors

Introduction Inertial measurement units allow for quantitative assessment of body motion in many environments. Determining the ability to measure upper limb motion with inertial measurement units, leveraging procedures traditionally used in the lab such as scapular calibration procedures and humeral axial rotation calculation, would expand the opportunities to assess upper limb function in externally valid environments. This study examined if humeral and scapular motion measured in different field settings is consistent with motion measured in a lab setting in similar tasks. Methods Twenty-eight adults participated in the study (14 field setting, 14 lab setting). Three different types of field settings were included: home (n = 5), work (n = 4), and sports (n = 5). Field participants were matched to lab participants based on sex and body height. All participants were equipped with five inertial and magnetic measurement units (Xsens Awinda, Xsens Technlogies, NL, Fs = 100 Hz) on the torso, humeri, and scapulae. Humeral and scapular angles were measured during a functional task protocol consisting of seven tasks. Data from all three field settings were combined. Statistical parametric mapping (α = .05) was used to assess differences in waveforms between the lab and field data. Results and discussion Five out of seven tasks displayed no differences for humeral elevation and humeral axial rotation, while scapular upward rotation and tilt were not statistically different for any tasks. Scapular internal rotation variability was very high for the field setting, but not for the lab setting. Task-based differences in humeral elevation and humeral axial rotation may be related to equipment modifications for the field protocol and between subjects' variability in task performance. Data indicate that humeral elevation, humeral axial rotation, and scapular upward rotation can be measured in externally valid field settings, which is promising for the evaluation of upper limb movement in natural environments.
Paleozoic subduction-related magmatism in the Duobagou area, Dunhuang block: Constrained by zircon U-Pb geochronology and Lu-Hf isotopes and whole-rock geochemistry of metaigneous rocks

The Dunhuang block, situated at the junction of the Tethyan domain, Tarim craton, North China craton and the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), consists mainly of Archean–early Mesoproterozoic basement rocks and Paleozoic metamorphic and magmatic rocks. In this study we performed systematic analyses on the Duobagou metaigneous rocks, including zircon U-Pb ages and Hf isotopes and whole-rock geochemistry, to discuss the evolutionary history of the Dunhuang block and the surrounding continental fragments during the Paleozoic. The metaigneous rocks in the Duobagou area have been identified to be amphibole plagiogneisses, amphibolites, and biotite plagiogneisses; the first two are classified as metamafic rocks, and the latter are metafelsic rocks. The whole-rock major and trace element and Sm-Nd isotopic compositions suggest that the amphibole plagiogneisses were probably produced by the fractionation of the amphibolites, and their protoliths were formed from a mantle wedge, which was associated with the emplacement of subduction-related arc basaltic magmas. The biotite plagiogneisses have geochemical affinities to typical Phanerozoic arc volcanic rocks, and in combination with the Nd-Hf isotopic compositions, these indicate that they were derived from island-arc magmas with varying degrees of crustal contamination. The Duobagou amphibole plagiogneisses and amphibolites have metamorphic ages of 425 ± 31 Ma and 442 ± 2 Ma, respectively, that are in agreement with the crystallization age (436 ± 5 Ma) of the biotite plagiogneisses. The geochemical and geochronological features of these metafelsic rocks provide substantial evidence of a major subduction-related Paleozoic magmatic event in the Duobagou area of the Dunhuang block. The available data illustrate that the accretionary orogenesis in the Dunhuang block may have continued to the Carboniferous, and those in the Beishan orogenic belt most likely lasted until the Permian. However, those recorded in the North Altun–Qilian orogenic belt probably ended in the Ordovician. The temporal-spatial distributions of the orogeny-related metamorphic-magmatic rocks in the Dunhuang block seemingly match well with those in the CAOB, supporting the interpretation that the Dunhuang block was most likely involved in the orogenic activities of the CAOB during the Paleozoic.

Comprehensive Review on the Biocontrol of Listeria monocytogenes in Food Products

Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen that causes listeriosis, a group of human illnesses that appear more frequently in countries with better-developed food supply systems. This review discusses the efficacy of actual biocontrol methods combined with the main types of food involved in illnesses. Comments on bacteriophages, lactic acid bacteria, bacteriocins, essential oils, and endolysins and derivatives, as main biological antilisterial agents, are made bearing in mind that, using them, food processors can intervene to protect consumers. Both commercially available antilisterial products and solutions presented in scientific papers for mitigating the risk of contamination are emphasized. Potential combinations between different types of antilisterial agents are highlighted for their synergic effects (bacteriocins and essential oils, phages and bacteriocins, lactic acid bacteria with natural or synthetic preservatives, etc.). The possibility to use various antilisterial biological agents in active packaging is also presented to reveal the diversity of means that food processors may adopt to assure the safety of their products. Integrating biocontrol solutions into food processing practices can proactively prevent outbreaks and reduce the occurrences of L. monocytogenes-related illnesses.
