Analysis of travellers’ experiences with petty crimes using biopsychosocial model: A systematic scoping review
Authors: Thirumaran K , Sabharwal Jagdeep Kaur , Goh Sandra
Published: January 2024

With surge in post-COVID tourism, the travel destinations are seeing a high volume of travellers seeking to fulfil their pent-up wanderlust. Travellers generally do not consider themselves vulnerable to crimes when on holidays – specifically to first world countries in Europe. However, there has been a significant increase in petty crimes against tourists which have become common in tourist hotspots across Europe and other places. Petty crimes experienced by tourists can often lead to not only material and monetary loss but also result in tainting the whole travel experience. The present paper reviewed existing research in a scoping review which examined tourists’ experiences following petty crimes on their well-being with focus on Europe. Utilizing the Biopsychosocial model, the post crime experiences of travellers were grouped as biological, psychological, and social outcomes to understand the complex ways in which travellers are affected by less than positive experiences while visiting tourist locations. The review shows paucity of works that aimed to understand travellers’ experiences, with majority of works choosing to focus on effect of petty crimes on hospitality sector.
Events, Urban Tourism and Cultural Appropriation: A Critical Perspective
Authors: Lotoaso Renee , Faisal Abrar
Published: January 2024

Events in urban tourism destinations are continuously gaining prominence globally and are recognised to have substantial economic and socio-cultural impacts on countries, communities, and individuals. Despite this, the socio-cultural impacts of community events in urban destinations have not been widely researched. While the event industry and its diﬀerent aspects have been extensively explored, there is a lack of literature on the cultural impacts of events and how cultural events in urban locations may impact local communities and their culture. This paper extensively reviews the literature pertaining to event impacts and oﬀers a critical insight into the concepts and empirical ﬁndings on the signiﬁcance and impacts of cultural events in urban destinations.
Analysis and Experiment of Blank Holder Gap in the Cylindrical Cup Deep Drawing of Low Carbon Steel to Prevent Cracking-Wrinkling
Authors:   Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Surabaya, INDONESIA, Candra Susila
Published: January 2024

This paper aims to investigate Blank Holder Gap (BHG) in order to prevent wrinkles and crack defects in the deep drawing process of cylindrical cups with a diameter of 30 mm, using low carbon steel grade SPCC that is 0.7 mm thick. Mathematical and experimental approaches were applied to study the effect of BHG on wrinkle wave height and product quality. The analytical approaches used were the slab method and the Forming Limit Diagram (FLD) to determine the final thickness of the product specimen and the height of the wrinkling wave, respectively. Each method in this study had been compared to each other. Punch-die dimensions were determined based on the standard tool designed. According to the research, BHG is set 100% to 114% of the thickness of the initial material or equivalent about 0.70 to 0.80 mm. By using the value of this gap, the height of wrinkles can be avoided, the magnitude of the drawing force is still below the critical limit, and the product specimen does not experience wrinkles and cracks. The results of this study are applicable to the deep drawing of cup products on SPCC material with a thickness of no more than 1 mm.

Authors:   Department of Mechanical Engineering, B.S.Abdur Rahman Crescent Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai-48, INDIA, M Thirumurugan
Published: January 2024

This work aims to enhance the viscoelastic and mechanical properties of the neat Polycarbonate/Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (PC/ABS) blend by incorporating graphite filler. Thermoplastic composites were prepared with PC/ABS as the matrix and graphite powder as fillers of 3, 6, and 9 wt% by injection molding. The influence of graphite particulate on the mechanical properties of PC/ABS/graphite composite was studied through tensile strength, tensile modulus, percentage elongation, impact strength, flexural strength, and modulus. The results show a 20% improvement in the tensile and flexural modulus of the PC/ABS/graphite composite compared to the neat PC/ABS blend. However, the tensile strength and percentage elongation were reduced by 11.64% and 29.63%, respectively. The storage modulus with 9 wt% of graphite in the PC/ABS blend has the highest modulus over the entire temperature range compared to the neat PC/ABS blend. The addition of graphite filler to the PC/ABS blend increased the tensile, flexural, and storage modulus, even though some mechanical attributes were compromised. The viscoelastic, mechanical, and thermal properties were enhanced by adding graphite as a filler to help plastic product designers design plastic products for automobile applications.

"Thrips tabaci Lindeman (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), commonly known as onion thrips, is a serious global pest of commercial onion, causing direct and indirect important damages. This survey carried out in natural areas of Biskra province (Algeria) during two periods, 2008/2009 and 2011/2012, aims to review the plant species harbouring T. tabaci in this region. Algerian and Spanish researchers confirmed twenty-three thrips species. T. tabaci is the most abundant and polyphagous. Studies have indicated that it settled in fifty one plant species belonging to nineteen botanical families. The most important are Asteraceae, Brassicaceae, Fabaceae, and Amaranthaceae. In Biskra, T. tabaci was found in sites between -32 m and 1000 m of sea level. The results also indicate the presence of sexual and asexual populations. This study shows that T. tabaci is ubiquitous in the natural habitat of Biskra province. Further research is needed to confirm its host plants and the most common mode of reproduction in this region by studying the largest number of plants in various environments and demonstrating the sex ratio over a broad survey spectrum."

Simmaco, Sidonio Apollinare e la gloriosa genealogia dei Syagrii di Lione
Authors: Porena Pierfrancesco
Published: January 2024

The movement of aristocratic people and their literary production between Italy and Gaul during the 4th and 5th centuries progressively restricted itself within different regional horizons. Ammianus, Symmachus and Ausonius offer important information on the career of (Afranius) Syagrius, ordinary consul in 381 AD and praetorian prefect in 380-382 AD, enhanced by the emperor Gratianus. This evidence shows a constant and fluid dialogue between aristocrats located in Italy and in Gaul. Almost a century later, around 470 AD, Sidonius Apollinaris celebrates this Syagrius in some letters and in his carmen 24, as the progenitor of a noble family of his time. The descendants of Syagrius, especially the praetorian prefect of Gaul in 451-453 AD, Tonantius Ferreolus, are praised by Sidonius as a rare example of family continuity at the top of the senatorial administration of Gaul. In the space of less than a century the movement of members of the senatorial order and the circulation of their writings between Italy and Gaul seems to have ceased. Sidonius interprets the political, social and cultural environment of his times within a closed Gallic horizon.
The Role of the Office of Religious Affairs in the Prevention of Underage Marriage in the perspective of Maqashid Syariah
Authors: Rahmadhani Layla Rizki , Attamimi Faisal , Hanafi Suhri
Published: January 2024

This study discuss role of the Office of Religious Affairs in preventing underage marriages from the perspective of maqashid syari’ah. This study used  qualitative  approach with a case study methodology. Both primary and secondary data were  utilized in this study, employing data collection techniques such as observation, in-depth interviews, and written document analysis. The findings of this study show that the role of the religious office in preventing underage marriages involves the implementation of two preventive activities, namely, religious study sessions (majelis ta’lim) and the formation of mosque youth groups. The role of the office in preventing underage marriages should be further enhanced, advocating for the optimal implementation of religious study programs and the formation of mosque youth groups in prevention efforts. The challenge factors include  insufficient funding and a lack of community attention. From the maqashid syari’ah perspective, the role of the office  in preventing underage marriages does not align with the Sharia objectives in preserving lineage (hifz nazhl). This misalignment arises because the office  role falls short of regulating marriages in accordance with the dictates of Sharia and the Marriage Law regarding age regulations. Implications of this study  call for the necessity of enhancing the office  role in preventing underage marriages to align with maqashid syari’ah universally.
Modelling individual tree maximum basal area growth rates of five tall eucalypt species growing in even-aged forests
Authors: West P. W.
Published: January 2024

Inventory plot data were available providing over 87,000 individual tree basal area growth rates from even-aged native forests of three ash eucalypts (Eucalyptus regnans, E. obliqua, and E. delegatensis), from temperate regions, and two other species from more sub-tropical climes (E. grandis and E. pilularis). Models were developed relating maximum observed growth rates for these species in relation to tree size when, presumably, trees were under ideal environmental conditions and without competition from neighbours for site growth resources. These maximum growth rates increased with increasing tree size to a maximum of their own and then declined as tree size (hence age) increased further. The tree sizes, at which these maximum growth rates reached their maxima, were much greater for the ash eucalypts than for the other two species. It is hypothesised that the ash eucalypts may have evolved physiological characteristics that make them more efficient in compensating for the well-known physiological constraints imposed on growth rates as trees grow to great heights and ages.

Anthocyanin-Based Natural Food Colorant from Fresh Waste Carnation Flower Petals: Effect of pH, Temperature, and Drying Method on its Degradation Kinetics and its Use in Ice Cream
Authors: VURAL Ecem , TOPUZ Ayhan
Published: January 2024

The carnation flowers (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) with broken stems or overgrown buds remain in the greenhouse and are discarded after all cutting operations are completed. Waste flowers are also separated while bouquets are being prepared. Therefore, this study aimed to utilize these fresh waste flowers in the production of natural food colorants. Anthocyanin extract was obtained from waste carnation flowers and turned into powder products via freeze- and spray-drying. Various properties of the powders were analyzed and statistically compared. Since degradation parameters of anthocyanins should be taken into consideration during the planning of the materials to which anthocyanin-based colorant will be added, the kinetic parameters of carnation anthocyanins were calculated at different pH (2.6, 4.0, and 6.0) and temperature (70, 80, and 90°C) values. Except for the liquid extract, the activation energies of all samples sharply decreased when the pH changed from 2.6 to 6.0. The most and least susceptible samples to the temperature elevation were freeze-dried samples at pH 2.6 and spray-dried samples at pH 6.0, respectively. Across all the data, the activation energies of the liquid extract sample at pH 2.6 and pH 4.0 were not significantly different from each other (p
Statistical correlations between cells, blood vessels, oxytalan fibres and nerves in normal mouse molar periodontal ligament using transmission electron microscopy
Authors: Freezer Simon R. , Sims Milton R.
Published: January 2024

Mandibular ligament mesiobuccal to the mouse first molar was sectioned from the alveolar crest to the tooth apex in three animals. At statistically predetermined levels, TEM sections were examined and then quantified using stereological techniques. Statistically significant associations between periodontal cells, blood vessels, oxytalan fibres, nerves and cells were elucidated by constructing Pearson correlation matrices on a Cyber 173 mainframe computer. These results establish a mathematical model for normal mouse molar periodontal ligament. Fibroblasts demonstrate a statistically significant correlation with both oxytalan fibres enclosed in collagen bundles (p < ·01) and oxytalan fibres lying adjacent to periodontal cells (p < ·01). Moreover, K-cells have a statistically significant correlation with perivascular oxytalan fibres (p < ·05), myelinated and unmyelinated axons (p < ·05 and p < ·01, respectively) and anatomically distinct blood vessels which contain 88 percent of the periodontal blood volume (p < ·01). The findings also indicate that separate vascular and nonvascular populations of oxytalan fibres and nerve axons occur within the ligament. A further statistical association exists between myelinated and unmyelinated nerves in both the tissue parenchyma (p < ·01) and within blood vessel walls (p < ·01). These previously unreported associations of complex structures may delineate operant mechanisms that could influence functional tooth support and orthodontic tooth movement.

Authors: Coyne Rhonda , Woods Michael , Abrams Richard
Published: January 2024

A professionally managed telephone survey was undertaken to assess communily-perceived need and demand for orthodontic treatment, and to determine the proportion of the communily with a history of having some form of orthodontic treatment. The sample included 505 respondents, aged eighteen and over, from metropolitan and non-metropolitan households across the state of Victoria in Australia The sample distribution hod a ninely-five per cent confidence limit with a five per cent margin of error, and closely matched the known population distributions for age, sex and geographical location. From the survey it can be concluded that apparently forly-four per cent of Victorian families include someone who has already received some form of orthodontic treatment. Twenly-five per cent of the survey respondents perceived some need for the treatment of a family member; only fifteen per cent of respondents, however, reported that someone in their family actually wanted treatment. This survey has established baseline values for communily-perceived need and demand for orthodontic treatment. Use of these values should assist in future resource management within both the public and private sectors.

Huaqiao Nongchang: Isolated Settlements of Overseas Chinese Inside China
Authors: Strukova P. E.
Published: January 2024

This study offers a comprehensive exploration and analysis of "huaqiao nongchang," commonly known as overseas Chinese farms, situated within contemporary China's territorial boundaries. These administrative units, established in the 1950s-1980s, served as an intriguing aspect of emigrant administration and were established in three distinct phases. Initially, they functioned as agricultural entities, predominantly inhabited by ethnic Chinese returning en masse from countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and others to the newlyformed People's Republic of China in 1949.

The author's primary objective is to fill gaps in our understanding of this phenomenon and to dissect the logic behind the stages of their creation, settlement, and subsequent reforms within China. This article excels in its contextualization within the historical framework, shedding light on the unique characteristics of these settlements. A comprehensive analysis of works by Chinese experts uncovers a significant reason for the PRC authorities' adoption of this approach: it provided a swift solution to hunger-related issues and the employment of vast refugee populations.As time progressed, drawbacks in this approach to managing emigrants became apparent. The initial economic struggles of these settlements, coupled with unfavorable socio-cultural environments and a lack of effective organizational strategies for settlers, necessitated ongoing reforms. The transformation of certain "huaqiao nongchang" units from unproductive state farms into profitable agricultural enterprises occurred due to various factors, including decentralization of decision-making, redirection toward local markets, alleviation of social tensions, workforce training, and their integration into the broader Chinese economy.

This article supplements its analysis with excerpts from settlers' memoirs, offering firsthand insights into the lives and experiences of overseas Chinese emigrants returning to their homeland. Additionally, it provides a concise examination of the terminology associated with this subject matter.

Authors: Barsky K. M.
Published: January 2024

This editorial introduces a series of papers based on presentations made at the "Soviet Diplomacy during World War II" conference held at MGIMO on June 30, 2023. It draws attention to notable aspects of Soviet diplomacy during the wartime period. Firstly, it highlights the persistent effort and skill in negotiating despite significant divergences in interests and approaches. Secondly, it discusses the adeptness in striking a careful balance between steadfastly maintaining one's stance and employing flexibility and pragmatism to achieve the ultimate objective of victory over the enemy. Thirdly, the article examines the history of international negotiations during World War II as an illustration of the clash and collaboration among prominent political figures, notably emphasizing how I.V. Stalin often outplayed his counterparts in this personalized “diplomacy of leaders.”

The history of World War II compellingly illustrates the necessity of diplomacy, not only during the conflict but also in the transition to peace and negotiations thereafter, as well as in the establishment of a new global order.

The Impact of Sustainable Practices on Creating Value for Banks in Emerging Countries
Authors: Dos Santos Vinicius Pereira , Jucá Michele Nascimento
Published: January 2024

Objective: Analyze the impact of sustainable practices on the value of banks, located in 28 countries in emerging economies of Latin America, Caribbean, Africa, Asia, Europe and Middle East.
 
Theoretical framework: The current lack of consensus on the impact of sustainable practices in the banking industry may be an indication of the existence of friction related to market efficiency, resulting from informational asymmetry, agency conflicts and lack of adequate signaling between different stakeholders.
Methodology: Hypothesis H1 - Sustainable practices impact the value of the banks in the study is verified through a regression with pooled data and robustness tests.
 
Results and conclusions: Banks consider that the adoption of sustainable practices does not add value in the short term.
 
Research implications: A possible explanation for this fact is presented by the overinvestment hypothesis. According to it, the application of resources in sustainable activities causes banks to divert resources from their main objective of maximizing shareholder wealth to meet the demands of other stakeholders - which leads to a reduction in their value.
 
Originality/value: Among the differences in this study is the analysis of banks located in emerging countries. The result obtained provides feedback to the financial market in its investment decisions in banks that adopt sustainable practices, especially in developing countries. Another aspect to be highlighted is the maintenance or change of policies adopted - by countries' regulatory entities - in terms of encouraging the adoption of sustainable practices by institutions.

Die Bedeutung der therapeutischen Beziehung als einem zentralen Faktor in der Effektivität von Psychotherapie wird durch eine ansehnliche Zahl von Forschungsergebnissen unterstrichen. Jedoch wissen wir relativ wenig darüber, wie Klientinnen eine optimale therapeutische Beziehung erfahren. Das Modell der Beziehungstiefe, das Mearns und Cooper (2005) entwickelten, stellt einen wertvollen Rahmen zur Verfügung, um diesen Therapieaspekt zu erklären. Ziel der vorliegenden Studie war es, das Wissen über Beziehungstiefe zu erweitern, indem sie die Klientinnen-Perspektive untersucht. Es wurde eine qualitative Studie durchgeführt, basierend auf den Erfahrungen von 10 Beraterinnen als Klientinnen über einen Zeitraum von 33 verschiedenen Therapieepisoden. Die Analyse der Daten erfolgte unter Anwendung der „grounded theory“. Die Klientinnen-Perspektive, so wird aufgezeigt, unterscheidet sich beträchtlich von früheren Forschungsergebnissen, die sich mit der Therapeutinnen-Perspektive beschäftigten. Das, was diese Klientinnen über die erreichte Beziehungstiefe berichten, legt nahe, dass wirklich förderliche therapeutische Beziehungen durch die Bereitschaft gekennzeichnet sind, als Klientin „loszulassen“ und eine dauerhafte Beziehung mit der Therapeutin einzugehen. Die Beschreibungen der Klientinnen machten Aspekte von Verbundenheit in Beziehungen sichtbar, die Praktikern oft verborgen bleiben. Die Implikationen dieser Befunde für die Theorie der Beziehungstiefe und für die Praxis von Beratung und Psychotherapie werden diskutiert.

Andrographis lineata Nees is an erect herb and has been used as a traditional medicine against many diseases. The present study was to investigate the phytochemical analysis and antibacterial activity of A. lineata plant extracts. The methanolic extracts of A. lineata showed a variety of phytochemicals such as alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, tannins, terpenoids etc. The quantitative estimation of major phytochemical constituents revealed maximum amount of phenolic content in the roots and alkaloids in both the stem and leaf. Correspondingly, the highest amount of tannins and terpenoids were recorded in the leaf and flavonoids in the root samples. Furthermore, the plant extracts of A. lineata showed antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains. Comparatively, stem extract was effective against Streptococcus mutans (18.19±0.04 mm), leaf extract against Enterobacter faecalis (24.13±0.14 mm) and root extract against Bacillus subtilis (24.09±0.14 mm) at 30 μg/μL concentration. However, the leaf extract was more effective against Escherichia coli (25.13±0.16 mm), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (20.20±0.13 mm) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (18.18±0.17 mm) at 30 μg/μL concentration. The studies infer that the phytochemical constituents of A. lineata have antibacterial properties and these herbs may be considered as the medicinal plant for treating bacterial diseases.
Organization of effective management of the stock market on the basis of researching the processes of formation of the value of shares of the issuer companies

Published: January 2024

The global economic crisis and the socio-economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic have a significant impact on the increase in volatility and risks of manipulation of stock asset quotes. The subject of the study is the organization of management of the investment fund process, taking into account non-market mechanisms for manipulating the value of shares of issuing companies. The purpose of the article is to improve the efficiency of managing the stock process based on the stock market model and procedures for fuzzy valuation of the value of shares of issuing companies within this model. The research methodology is based on the application of methods for analyzing economic phenomena and processes, a systematic approach to studying the development of issuing companies and stock markets. Modeling of fund processes is based on fuzzy logic theory and efficiency theory. The principles of stock market idealization and the principles of stock market management in a manipulated information environment are formulated. A model of the stock market is presented, which includes: an ideal model of the stock market, a model of fundamental disturbing factors and a model of stock market manipulation. Within the framework of the stock market model, an economic and mathematical model for estimating the value of shares of issuing companies has been developed, in which the uncertainty of parameters is described by fuzzy numbers. The novelty of the research lies in the formulated concept of factor psychodynamics (including a list of factors, functions of factors, the strength of factors and inertia of factors), which serves as the basis for the stock market model; as well as in the developed methodology for fuzzy valuation of shares of issuing companies. Participants of the stock market, potential investors, owners and acquirers of companies on the basis of the presented model of the stock market have the opportunity to obtain additional information about ongoing stock processes. Fuzzy procedures for estimating the value of shares of issuer companies make it possible to calculate the value of their shares in accordance with various forecast scenarios for the development of companies.
Multispecies Flow Indirect-Noise Modeling Re-Examined with a Helicopter-Engine Application
Authors: Gentil Yann , Daviller Guillaume , Moreau Stéphane , Poinsot Thierry
Published: January 2024

Composition noise has recently received increasing attention for its potential to contribute significantly to the indirect noise mechanism. In this study, the importance and definition of composition noise are revisited by proposing a new proper decomposition between entropy and mixture compositional fluctuations. When assuming quasi-one-dimensional, multispecies, isentropic, and nonreactive flow in nozzles, the resulting system of equations shows a new and remarkable one-way coupling between composition waves and both acoustic and entropy waves. Relying on the Magnus-expansion methodology, an exact solution of that system is investigated. The proposed theory is validated by comparing the model predictions with direct numerical simulations of nozzle flows in which compositional fluctuations are pulsed. It is shown that composition transfer functions from the unsteady simulations are in agreement with the analytical model of this paper. Finally, a hybrid approach is investigated consisting of extracting waves from a large-eddy simulation of a real helicopter engine and propagating those through different nozzle geometries. Composition noise is found to be negligible compared to direct or indirect entropy noise since it is at least 20 dB lower than other noise mechanisms for all tested cases.
S’exposer au théâtre : l’émergence de dramaturges sénégalaises
Authors:   Universitat de Barcelona (España), Mallart Brussosa Myriam
Published: January 2024

"After independence, few Senegalese female authors have written theatre plays in French. In the new millenium, however, there began a new tendency, maybe not very substantial, but that seems to be promising. This article offers a panoramic vision of female dramaturgy in Senegal. It examines the causes of this lack of involvement and explores how in a context not very inclined to public exhibition, each author exposes herself in her own way. Actresses have opted for writing when they cannot find engaging roles; novelists and poets have ventured into dramaturgy to reach a wider audience; and, exceptionally, women writers have made theater their favourite area of creation. All of them participate in the rewriting of the role of women through groundbreaking and non-victimist female characters."

Published: January 2024

This paper points out the place given to the creative act as a space for the transfer of the ancestral values and the change of the mind, in the work of Aminata Sow Fall. It will take into consideration that brings the Senegalese writer closer to the expression of emotion, her bergsonian concept of open soul, but also her vindication for the respectability of the most disadvantaged. This paper tries to explore the way with which the writing plural forms supports the ethics of Aminata Sow Fall
