Exploring the Satisfaction and Dissatisfaction Factors Derived from Food and Beverage Services of Thermal Hotels

The increase in supply and demand in thermal tourism has led to the intensification of competition. This situation causes the thermal hotels to spend more effort on issues such as understanding customer expectations and providing customer satisfaction. Food and beverage services have great importance in all areas of tourism as well as in thermal hotels. Thus, the main purpose of the study is to reveal the factors affecting the tourists’ satisfaction or dissatisfaction in food and beverage services in thermal hotels. The research was conducted in thermal hotels in Denizli, Turkey. Tourists’ online reviews on TripAdvisor were analysed by content analysis. The findings clearly show the main areas of satisfaction of the food and beverage services in the thermal hotels as taste of food, employees, quality of food and activities in the restaurants. However, the main areas where the online reviewers are dissatisfied are high price, variety of food, capacity for restaurants and freshness of food. Then, one-way ANOVA was performed to determine whether satisfaction levels of food and beverage service has an affect on overall hotel performance in the different categories of review. Results show the strong relationship between customers’ satisfaction on food and beverage services and overall thermal hotel satisfaction. The abstract of this study was presented in Cultural Management and Governance for European Thermal Tourism: Creativity and Innovation for cultural and tourism management in European Thermal Routes and Sites Conference, Cori, Italy, 6 November 2017.
HOMEOTIC TRANSFORMATION IN DOMESTIC DOGS-ARE PUG 1 DOGS BREAKING MAMMALIAN EVOLUTIONARY CONSTRAINTS ? 2

29 The number of cervical vertebrae in mammals is almost constant at seven, regardless of their 30 neck length, implying that there is selection against variation in this number. Homebox (Hox) 31 genes are involved in this evolutionary mammalian conservation and homeotic 32 transformation of cervical into thoracic vertebrae (cervical ribs) is a common phenotypic 33 abnormality when Hox gene expression is altered. This relatively benign phenotypic change 34 can be associated with fatal traits in humans. Mutations in genes upstream of Hox, inbreeding 35 and stressors during organogenesis can also cause cervical ribs. The aim of this study was to 36 describe the prevalence of cervical ribs in a large group of domestic dogs of different breeds 37 and explore a possible relation with other congenital vertebral malformations (CVM) in the 38 breed with the highest prevalence of cervical ribs. By phenotyping we hoped to give clues as 39 to the underlying genetic causes. Twenty computed tomography studies from at least two 40 breeds belonging to each of the nine groups recognised by the Federation Cynologique 41 Internationale, including all the brachycephalic “screw-tailed” breeds that are known to be 42 overrepresented for CVM’s were reviewed. The Pug dog was more affected by cervical ribs 43 than any other breed (46%) (p<0.001) and was selected for further analysis. No association 44 was found between the presence of cervical ribs and vertebral body formation defect, bifid 45 spinous process, caudal articular process hypoplasia/aplasia and an abnormal sacrum, which 46 may infer they have a different etiopathogenesis. However, Pug dogs with cervical ribs were 47 more likely to have a transitional thoraco-lumbar vertebra (p= 0.041) and a pre-sacral 48 vertebral count of 26 (p<0.001). Higher C7/T1 dorsal spinous processes ratios were 49 associated with the presence of cervical ribs (P<0.001) supporting this is a true homeotic 50 transformation. Relaxation of the stabilizing selection has likely occurred and the Pug dog 51 appears to be a good naturally occurring model to further investigate the aetiology of cervical 52 ribs, other congenital vertebral anomalies and numerical alterations. 53
The Response of Tube Splitting on Circular Tubes by Using Various Types of Semi-Angles Dies and Slits Modeling of Impact Energy Generated by Free Falling Ball

Pattern recognition technique which needs three mean steps of fault diagnosis -feature extraction, dimensionality reduction and fault classification was used. This paper focuses on the faulty bearing which is mainly caused by mass imbalance and axis misalignment. By analyzing the vibration signal obtained from the test rigs (rigs that are built to demonstrate the effect of faults in rotating machinery), it gives solid information concerning any faults within the rotating machinery.
Conceptualisation of Self-Education for Healthy Life Style: From Satisfaction of Psychological Needs to Implementation of Life Objectives

Abstract The descriptive conceptual analysis-based article aims to substantiate the construct of person’s self-education for healthy life. So why the research question in the following: How is conceptualised the person’s selfdevelopment for a healthy lifestyle in the Self-Determination Theory on the basis of the natural psychological needs of the person, motivated and pursued by the theory? Personal self-education in the education science is associated with a modern, dynamic and holistic educational concept, which implies a life-long process of human development and an individual path. By planning, organizing, managing and controlling the process of personal development, a person takes responsibility for the direction, goals, ways and final result of self-education. A healthy lifestyle as a kind of self-education fulfills the conditions of holistic development and contains physical, mental, social, spiritual self-education. In conceptualizing a person’s self-education for a healthy lifestyle, it is best to refer to the intrapersonal health education theories. These theories emphasize the influence of environmental and social factors on a person’s lifestyle, and the person’s knowledge, skills, motivation, attitudes and free determination to change oneself and his/her lifestyle. The Self-Determination Theory reveals the trends of personal development and calls it eudaimony or a path of life based on the satisfaction of general personal psychological needs - autonomy, competence and conenction, as well as the pursuit of inner goals and universally recognized values. Realized and satisfied natural psychological needs encourage person’s inner energy, internal motivation associated with person’s native inclination for development. In pursuit of personal development and health-oriented goals, a person finds a sense of meaning in his or her activity and experiences a state of well-being.
Authors’ response to interactive comment by Reviewer #3

This work analizes the performance of different snow routines based on the degree-day method in the framework of the HBV hydrological model. For this, runoff together with other snow-related variables are simulated in a large number of basins in Alpine areas in Central Europe and then compared to different sets of observations. The routines include different modifications for the snow routine components in HBV. De-spite the significant variability found among cases, the results identified an exponential snowmelt function as the best modification in terms of model performance, followed by the adoption of a seasonal degree-day factor; other processes, like refreezing, added little benefit to the model pointing out that complexity itself is not an advantage without careful model design. The work addresses an interesting topic for areas where physical modelling approaches demand larger data sets than the available observations, and it is very clearly presented. Despite the conclusions cannot be directly extrapolated to other snow regions in the world, the number of study cases cover a large area in Central Europe, where snow processes condition the hydrological response in many rivers. I have some observations that can be assessed by the Authors to emphasize the applicability of the results and the scope of the study; some minor comments are also included.
Nature Inspired Algorithms multi-objective histogram equalization for Grey image enhancement

Nature is a very rich source of inspiration. Many algorithms have inspired from nature and source of algorithms inspiration development are diverse with different quality. Nature–inspired optimization techniques play an essential role in the field of image processing. It reduces the noise and blurring of images with improves the image enhancement, image segmentation, image pattern recognition. The Image enhancement is a process to make image ready for further uses in certain applications. The image quality is individually related with its contrast by rising the contrast, further disfigurements can be produced. In this paper covers current equalization enhancement technique some nature inspired algorithm for medical images. In addition, proposed an image enhancement method built by using two natures inspired algorithms Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Bat Optimization Algorithms (BOA) combined to produce better enhancement. Here an objective criterion for measuring image enhancement is used which considers the Discrete Entropy (DE), the Structural Similarity Index Matrix (SSIM) and Executing Time (ET). The results showed the Bat Algorithm has produced a batter enhanced images when comparing with Particle Swarm Optimization images and the existing histogram-based equalization methods. The final results showed proposed image enhancement method can not only improve the contrast of the image, but also preserve the details of the image, which has a good visual effect.

Observations of a naturalized Gazania population & fruit morphology of a Baccharis species

Gazania linearis is reported to be naturalized in California (amongst a host of cultivated Gazania hybrids and species), and the fruits of Baccharis salicifolia ssp. salicifolia are reported to have 5 ribs. By carrying out a morphological study of a naturalized Gazania population, and fruits of a B. s. ssp. salicifolia individual, I was able to conclude that G. linearis may not be the only naturalized Gazania species in the population studied here (and perhaps across California), and that the number of ribs on the fruits of B. s. ssp. salicifolia are not restricted to 5, and in fact, vary in numbers.
University of Groningen Efficient control of gene expression by a tetracycline-dependent transactivator in single Dictyostelium discoideum cells Blaauw,

We established a tetracycline-regulated gene expression system that tightly controls expression of genes in Dictyostelium discoideum. The control elements are contained in two plasmid vectors, one being an integrated plasmid encoding a chimeric tetracycline-controlled transcriptional activator protein s The second component is an extrachromosomal plasmid harboring the gene of interest preceded by an inducible promoter. This promoter contains a tetracycline-responsive element, which is the binding site for s 1. Tetracycline prevents s from binding to the tetracycline-responsive element, rendering the promoter virtually silent. In the absence of tetracycline, s binds to its target sequence and strongly induces gene expression. The kinetics of activation and repression of the system were monitored using luciferase as a reporter. The results reveal efficient inhibition of gene expression by low concentrations of tetracycline and an induction of gene expression by several orders of magnitude within a few hours after removal of tetracycline. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) provided information about the effects of modulation of the tetracycline concentration on gene expression, at the single cell level, using fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS). We also report that not all cells in a clonal population express the reporter gene. © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
Stress urinary incontinence in young women exercising in the gym – preliminary study

Introduction: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is considered one of the most important health problems in the 21 st century, related to the activity of the pelvic floor muscles. The aim of the study was to conduct a preliminary survey estimating knowledge level of young active women about SUI and their preparation for undertaking physical activity affecting the pelvic floor muscles. Material and methods: A study was conducted in a group 107 of women aged 20-25 years, in several Krakow gyms. A proprietary questionnaire was used, consisting of 12 questions about physical activity during gym workout sessions, knowledge of pelvic floor exercises, and a possible urinary incontinence problem during sports activities. Results: Sixty-nine per cent of the participants had never experienced an episode of SUI, 21% of the respondents were unable to state whether they had experienced such an episode, while as many as 9% answered that they had experienced them. Most of the analysed group regularly doing a workout at the gym; 94 young women confirmed that they knew or had heard about exercises strengthening pelvic floor muscles, but only four of them remembered to practice them during gym workouts. Only two women were encouraged to perform these exercises by their fitness instructor. Conclusions: SUI is an important but underestimated problem among physically active women. Although young women experience SUI, they do not include pelvic floor muscle exercises in their training routine. It is necessary to educate women but also to raise awareness of incontinence among trainers and physiotherapists who work with them.
Android Privacy Made Easier the Cloud Way

The Smartphone industry has expanded significantly over the last few years. According to the available data, each year, a marked increase in the number of devices in use is observed. Most consumers opt for Smartphones due to the extensive number of software applications that can be downloaded on their devices, thus increasing their functionality. However, this growing trend of application installation brings an issue of user protection, as most applications seek permission to access data on a user’s device. The risks this poses to sensitive data is real to both corporate and individual users. While Android has grown in popularity, this trend has not been followed by the efforts to increase the security of its users. This is a well-known set of problems, and prior solutions have approached it from the ground up; that is, they have focused on implementing reasonable security policies within the Android’s open-source kernel. While these solutions have achieved the goals of improving Android with such security policies, they are severely hampered by the way in which they have implemented them. In this work, a framework referred to as CenterYou is proposed to overcome these issues. It applies a pseudo data technique and a cloud-based decision-making system to scan and protect Smartphone devices from unnecessarily requested permissions by installed applications and identifies potential privacy leakages. The current paper demonstrated all aspects of the CenterYou application technical design. The work presented here provides a significant contribution to the field, as the technique based on pseudo data is used in the actual permissions administration of Android applications. Moreover, this system is user and cloud-driven, rather than being governed by over-privileged applications.
THE EFFECTS OF PROPOLIS SUPPLEMENTATION ON BROILER PERFORMANCE AND FEED DIGESTIBILITY

Over the years, antibiotics have been added to poultry feed for improving growth performance, stabilizing the intestinal microflora and preventing some specific pathogenic microorganisms. In recent years, antibiotics have come under increasing scrutiny by some scientists, consumers and government regulators because of the potential development of antibiotic resistant human pathogenic bacteria after long-term use. Nowadays, the possibility of using new natural material instead of antibiotics in diets is being researched. These materials have to allow the production of safe food and should be cost-efficient. Thus, propolis (bee glue) can be an important natural material that shall be investigated for this aim. Propolis is a product of the honey bees. Propolis is used by the honey bees to protect hive, larvae and themselves from the various microorganisms like virus, bacteria and fungi. Propolis has an intensive and fine odour and a somewhat bitter taste. The colour varies according to the geographical area and plant sources from light yellow up to dark brown. Furthermore, propolis varies in structure and consistency according to the temperature. It is hard and brittle at 0-15°C, soft and malleable at around 30°C, sticky between 30 to 60°C and liquefies at temperatures higher than 70°C. The microscopic structure of propolis is incredibly similar regardless of its origin (STANGACIU, 1999). The chemical composition of propolis generally depends on the ecological characteristics of collection zone. The number of chemical compounds in its structure varies between 70 to 80 and the most biological active components are flavonoids, hydroxyflavonoids, dehydro-calcons, short chained volatile oils, aromatic acids, sugars, lactons, alpha and beta amilase, ketones, phenols, vitamins, minerals, transhydrogenase, nucleic acids, aldehydes, cinnamic acid and its derivates, sterols, terpenoids, amino-acids, insoluble parts and unidentified materials (STANGACIU, 1999). Propolis has been used as a natural antibiotic by the ancient Greeks. The use of propolis becomes widespread in medical science, apitherapy and bio-cosmetics fields owing to its anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflamatory, anti-ulceric, local anesthetic, anti-tumoric and immunity stimulative properties (MUTEDT and ZYGMUNT, 2002). Propolis has also been used in treatment of bacteria and viral originated diseases in poultry breeding (HEGAZI and ABD EL HADY, 1994; HEGAZI et al., 1999). Muscular injection
Tongue Localization Method Based on Cascade Classifier

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) verifies that tongue images are closely related to the health of the human organs and tongues’ visual features can provide valuable clues for disease diagnosis. How to locate the tongue region is an important step in the intelligent development of the TCM tongue diagnosis, because the effective removal of interference information outside the tongue can effectively enhance the extraction of tongue features. This paper proposes a cascade classifier based on Local Binary Pattern (LBP) feature to locate and segment the tongue body, which effectively improves the classification accuracy of the tongue feature.
Denial of service attack detection through machine learning for the IoT

ABSTRACT Sustained Internet of Things (IoT) deployment and functioning are heavily reliant on the use of effective data communication protocols. In the IoT landscape, the publish/subscribe-based Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol is popular. Cyber security threats against the MQTT protocol are anticipated to increase at par with its increasing use by IoT manufacturers. In particular, IoT is vulnerable to protocol-based Application layer Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, which have been known to cause widespread service disruption in legacy systems. In this paper, we propose an Application layer DoS attack detection framework for the MQTT protocol and test the scheme on legitimate and protocol compliant DoS attack scenarios. To protect the MQTT message brokers from such attacks, we propose a machine learning-based detection framework developed for the MQTT protocol. Through experiments, we demonstrate the impact of such attacks on various MQTT brokers and evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed framework to detect these malicious attacks. The results obtained indicate that the attackers can overwhelm the server resources even when legitimate access was denied to MQTT brokers and resources have been restricted. In addition, the MQTT features we have identified showed high attack detection accuracy. The field size and length-based features drastically reduced the false-positive rates and are suitable in detecting IoT based attacks.

Noncommutative Chern – Simons theory on the quantum 3-sphere S 3 θ

We consider the θ-deformed quantum 3-sphere S3 θ and study its Chern–Simons theory from a spectral point of view. We first construct a spectral triple on S3 θ as a generalization of the Dirac geometry on S3. Since the choice of Dirac operator is not unique, we give two more natural spectral triples on S3 θ related to the round metric. We then compute the Chern–Simons action with respect to these three spectral triples, it turns out that it is not a topological invariant, that is, it depends on the choice of Dirac operators.
FACTORS AFFECTING CONSUMER BUYING BEHAVIOR TOWARDS MOBILE PHONES

Mobile phones have become basic element of communication. Indian mobile market has witnessed a paradigm shift and emerged as the fastest growing market for mobile handsets globally. Consumers are showing preference towards smartphones as it is being used for a variety of purposes. The aim of the present study is to investigate the factors that affect the consumer buying behavior towards mobile phone. The study was undertaken on 638 mobile phone users of Haryana state of India. The data was analyzed using factor analysis and multiple regressions. With the help of factor analysis ten decision factors of consumer buying behavior were derived. On these ten factors a multiple regression analysis was performed with perceived satisfaction of consumers in terms of buying decision as a dependent variable. The findings showed that “Speed & Performance” has the highest positive impact on the satisfaction followed by “brand & advertising” and “recommendations & reviews”. The study provided useful insights of the consumer buying behavior towards mobile phones.
