Authors: Hoffmann Alexandre Urbano , Machado Ivan Guerra
Published: October 2023

Resumo Este artigo mostra resultados de uma investigação sobre o comportamento de conjuntos produzidos com juntas soldadas de filete, submetidos a carregamentos excêntricos, quase estáticos e de impacto estrutural “fora do plano”. Sendo assim, os conjuntos soldados foram fabricados, com um dos elementos em “balanço”, utilizando-se aços estruturais ASTM A-36 e ASTM A-572 grau 50, unidos pelo processo de soldagem a arco com proteção gasosa (MAG). Para fins de comparação, todas as soldagens foram realizadas com os parâmetros mantidos constantes e eletrodos classes AWS ER70S-6 e AWS ER120S-G. Dentre os principais resultados foi observado que nos ensaios com carregamento quase estático, para ambos os metais base, os cordões paralelos soldados com AWS ER120S-G pré-aquecidos a 150 °C suportaram maiores carregamentos por tempos menores, e os cordões transversais suportaram menores carregamentos por tempos maiores. Nos ensaios de impacto estrutural dos conjuntos soldados com metal base ASTM A572 grau 50, cordões paralelos soldados com eletrodo AWS ER70S-6, pré-aquecidos a 150 °C resistiram cerca de 50% da carga projetada. Superfícies de fratura produzidas pelo carregamento por impacto estrutural dos cordões soldados com eletrodo AWS ER120S-G foram analisadas por microscopia eletrônica de varredura. Cordões de solda paralelos produziram fraturas com características dúcteis e cordões perpendiculares fraturas dúcteis com planos de clivagem.

Abstract The Baixada Maranhense Environmental Protection Area of the Brazilian state of Maranhão encompasses a biologically rich region that includes the basins of four principal rivers, the Mearim, Pericumã, Pindaré, and Turiaçu, which form a complex of wetlands. The present study provides a comprehensive inventory of the fish fauna of the rivers that drain the Baixada Maranhense based on the identification of voucher specimens that were deposited in a scientific collection. Expeditions were conducted between 2014 and 2020. The inventory identified a total of 100 fish species representing 79 genera, 34 families, and 11 orders, which are found in both freshwater and estuarine environments. Six (Potamotrygon orbignyi, Leporinus piau, Moenkhausia loweae, Serrasalmus spilopleura, Pachypops fourcroi and Peckoltia greedoi) of the 100 taxa identified here are considered to be new records for one or more of the basins surveyed during this study, based on the existing data, while four – Colossoma macropomum, Megaleporinus macrocephalus, Cichla sp. and Cichla kelberi – are not native. The most speciose orders were the Siluriformes and Characiformes, while the most diverse families were the Loricariidae, Characidae, Auchenipteridae, Cichlidae, and Serrasalmidae. These data are consistent with the findings of most of the previous studies of freshwater ecosystems in the Neotropical region, in particular those of the rivers of Maranhão. The results of the present study represent an important advance in the understanding of the diversity of the fish fauna of the Mearim, Pericumã, Pindaré, and Turiaçu rivers, which are still poorly studied, and have likely had their diversity underestimated up to now.

Published: October 2023

Abstract Artificial impoundments are frequently built to mitigate the water scarcity in the drylands such as the Caatinga region in Brazil. The São Francisco Interbasin Water Transfer (SF-IWT) megaproject implemented many artificial reservoirs for that purpose. A checklist of fish species from the SF-IWT reservoirs is provided based on samples from eight years of monitoring. The collections were conducted semiannually at 28 reservoirs divided into three groups: the East Axis, North Axis, and Agreste Branch. The SF-IWT reservoirs presented a total of 47 species, 46 were recorded in the North Axis, 27 in the East Axis, and only seven in the Agreste Branch. Characids and cichlids represented most of the species. The three analyzed groups of reservoirs presented distinct communities and the reservoirs’ age, richness and abundance were relevant variables responsible for fish composition. The SF-IWT reservoirs present a diverse and heterogeneous ichthyofauna, typical of lentic environments. The main colonizers of the SF-IWT reservoirs were fish from the São Francisco donor basin, invasive species anthropically released in those sites, and eventual species from the surrounding receiving basins. As the accumulation curves suggested, a continuous effort could reveal additional species, patterns in long-term colonization, and contribute to data on the reservoirs’ future stabilization phase. Since invasive species were present in most reservoirs, along with donor-basin native species with potential to disperse to the receiving basins, a continuous and detailed monitoring is key for management planning and possible impacts assessment.

Authors: Nas Sevil , Yılmaz Hande Öngün
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT Objective This study aims to determine the effect of fruit consumption time on blood glucose regulation in pregnant women with gestational diabetes. Methods The study was carried out with 64 volunteer participants diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Participants who were directed to the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics were divided into two groups according to the order of application; Group 1 was included in the nutrition treatment program for a week, consuming fruit for the main meal and Group 2 for the snack. During this process, the participants were applied a personalized nutrition plan that was adjusted equally for macronutrients of all meals containing isocaloric 3 main and 4 snacks. In this process, blood glucose values were measured six times a day by the participants and the blood glucose results of both groups before starting the nutrition therapy and on the seventh day after starting the medical nutrition therapy were compared. Results The mean age of the women participating in the study was 33.50±4.95 years and 32.28±5.18 years for the 1st and 2nd groups, respectively, and the groups were similar in terms of anthropometric measurements. The post-diet average of postprandial blood glucose levels in the morning within each group dropped from 180mg/d to 115mg/dL (p<0,001) for Group 1 and from 185mg/dL to 110mg/dL (p<0,001) for Group 2. There was a decrease in the fasting plasma glucose and postprandial blood glucose levels measured in the morning, noon and evening before and after the medical nutrition therapy of the groups, but no statistically significant difference was found between the groups (p>0.05). All participants on the gestational diabetes diet had normal blood sugar levels without the need for insulin. A statistically significant decrease was observed in the postprandial blood glucose-fasting plasma glucose difference levels of the pregnant women in the group that consumed fruit for snacks (Group 2) on the seventh day of the study (p<0,001). There was no significant difference in the pre-diet and post-diet morning fasting plasma glucose values of both groups (p>0,05). Conclusion This study found that medical nutrition therapy in pregnant women with gestational diabetes led to a decrease in blood glucose levels, but consuming fruits as a snack or at the main meal did not make a significant difference on fasting plasma glucose and postprandial blood glucose. It was concluded that the type and amount of carbohydrates consumed daily in gestational diabetes are determinative on blood glucose level.

ABSTRACT Objective: This study aimed to review the psychometric properties of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) questionnaires for the Brazilian adult population. Methods: A systematic review was performed based on the COSMIN guidelines (PROSPERO CRD42022300018). The studies were obtained through electronic searches in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Lilacs, VHL (BIREME), SciELO, and Embase databases. Results: The search was performed in December 2022. Articles on OHRQoL that reported the cross-cultural adaptation of instruments into Portuguese (Brazil) and evaluated the psychometric properties of measuring instruments in adult patients were included. Those about the development of a novel instrument and participants under 18 years of age were excluded. Information was collected on the country, type of instrument validated, psychometric tests, and adaptation process. The certainty of the evidence was assessed using GRADEpro program. The search returned 6,556 articles, and 14 were considered for this review. However, two studies did not report the cross-cultural adaptation process. Content validity, internal consistency, criterion validity, construct validity, reliability, general discriminant validity, Cronbach’s alpha value, and general intraclass correlation coefficient value were confirmed in 12 studies. Cronbach’s alpha ranged from 0.69 to 0.96. The certainty of the evidence was considered moderate and low. This study has some limitations, such as the lack of information in some reviewed studies, the unavailability of Brazilian instruments, and absence of longitudinal validation of some instruments. Conclusions: In conclusion, there are 14 OHRQoL instruments adapted for Brazilian adults that can be used with caution by researchers and clinicians, since they presented moderate to low certainty of the evidence.

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a prevalência e a incidência de atividade física insuficiente em adolescentes brasileiros e identificar os subgrupos mais afetados durante a pandemia. Métodos: Este estudo utilizou dados da ConVid Adolescentes - Pesquisa de Comportamentos, que avaliou, por meio de um questionário online autopreenchido, o comportamento de 9.470 adolescentes brasileiros no período de restrição social, em virtude da pandemia da COVID-19 em 2020. Os participantes foram convidados por meio de um procedimento de amostragem em cadeia denominado “bola de neve” virtual. Foram relatadas informações sobre a frequência de atividade física antes e durante a pandemia. As variáveis de exposição utilizadas foram sexo, faixa etária, raça/cor da pele, região do Brasil, tipo de escola, escolaridade materna, dificuldades financeiras durante a pandemia e restrições sociais. Foram utilizados modelos de regressão logística. Resultados: Os adolescentes praticaram menos atividade física durante a pandemia, visto que a prevalência de atividade física insuficiente aumentou de 71,3% no período anterior para 84,3% durante a pandemia. A incidência de atividade física insuficiente durante a pandemia foi de 69,6%. Os subgrupos de adolescentes mais afetados foram os que se autodeclararam da raça/cor da pele preta, que relataram dificuldades financeiras durante a pandemia, residentes nas regiões Sudeste e Sul do país e que realizaram restrição social intensa e total. Conclusão: Altas incidências de atividade física insuficiente foram observadas entre adolescentes brasileiros durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Recomenda-se que novos estudos explorem períodos posteriores aos analisados para identificar a dinâmica comportamental dos adolescentes a partir do retorno das atividades presenciais.

Resumo Este artigo analisa quais fatores condicionam a disponibilidade dos dados educacionais. Com foco no ensino médio, o artigo demonstra que os municípios e as escolas que, em 2022, não tinham dados disponíveis para o Sistema de Avaliação da Educação Básica (Saeb) apresentaram, em sua maioria, baixos indicadores médios de proficiência em 2019, ou também não tinham dados disponíveis em 2019. Por meio de uma regressão logística, o artigo demonstra que a probabilidade de um município ter alcançado a taxa mínima de participação para o Saeb, em 2022, foi maior entre aqueles com alta proficiência média em 2019, maior quantidade de matrículas e respostas mais efetivas à pandemia de covid-19. Os resultados indicam uma reprodução das desigualdades educacionais na disponibilidade dos dados.

Published: October 2023

Abstract Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the mental health of university students. In this period of uncertainty and challenges, the development of resilience, that is, the ability to deal with and recover from adverse situations, was necessary. From the perspective of social isolation, spirituality is shown to be an important resource for resignification, which can have a positive impact on students’ resilience. Objective: To identify the degree of resilience of medical students during the social isolation caused by COVID-19 and its relationship with spirituality and personal factors. Methodology: A mixed cross-sectional study carried out with medical students from Brazilian private and public institutions. Data were collected from June to September 2020 using a questionnaire containing sociodemographic and opinion questions about positive and negative aspects of social isolation, the Resilience Scale and the Spirituality-Related Attitudes Scale (ARES). For the analysis of the open responses to the questionnaire, a content analysis was performed with categorization of responses by topic. Result: 308 students participated in the study. The average scores found showed that the students showed moderate resilience and high spirituality. A weak positive correlation was observed between the degree of spirituality and resilience. The variables that positively impacted both resilience and spirituality were high level of satisfaction in studying to become a doctor, high level of happiness with life in recent months, better quality of life during isolation, having a religion and high importance attributed to the fact of having a religion. Female students aged over 25 years old showed greater spirituality. The most often cited positive points were related to social relationships, leisure and personal development. The most frequent negative points and difficulties were mental-physical-social health and remote teaching/adaptation to a new routine. Conclusion: The study suggests that students with greater spirituality are more resilient, being better able to deal with stressors; to adapt and have a positive view of adverse situations. These results can contribute to a reflection on educational strategies that aim to help students in coping with stressful situations, such as those experienced as a result of social isolation.

Published: October 2023

Abstract: Introduction: In western contemporary society, attempts to prevent death and suffering promote a medical training focused on dealing mostly with the biological aspects of illness and death, to the detriment of the psychosocial aspects related to those issues. Objective: The authors intended to identify medical students’ perceptions about the approach to death and dying in the light of Freudian theory about death. Method: This was a qualitative study with an exploratory approach, developed based on six focal groups consisting of 55 students from all the undergraduate medical school semesters from a federal university in the interior of the state Minas Gerais. The data produced was analyzed according to the thematic or category-based content analysis, from which the following categories emerged: 1- The death topic in undergraduate medical school; 2- The medical professional facing death. Results: To discuss death and dying in the formative process is to talk about the anguish in the face of human finitude. The students identified the approach to death and dying in undergraduate school, but in a limited and insufficient way. They indicated the need to increase contact with the topic in the curriculum, and to include, in a mandatory way, the contents on Palliative Care. The medical role encompasses both the care focused on healing and the assistance in moments when healing is not possible. The preparation to deal with death throughout undergraduate training involves personal conceptions and experiences, undergraduate practice, access to theoretical contents, specificities and subjective aspects related to each situation. The mentioned resources to deal with death, in addition to the studies, were religiosity and psychotherapy. Conclusion: To approach death in undergraduate medical curricula involves great complexity and challenges. From the viewpoint of psychological reality, human beings try to deny death and avoid suffering. Thus, the challenges in medical formation and practices consist in assuming the indissociable articulation between the biological, cultural and psychosocial aspects. To take care of life is also to take care of death and avoiding it may cause greater suffering to the patients, family members, students and medical professionals.
Gynecological patients differ from prenatal patients in appraisals of medical student participation in outpatient clinics
Authors: Sobral Dejano Tavares , Wanderley Miriam da Silva
Published: October 2023

Abstract Introduction: The participation of students in clinical consultations is essential for their medical education. This experience allows for the acquisition of technical skills and the transmission of ethical and professional values. Objective: To evaluate how differences in outpatient conditions (gynecological or prenatal care), appraisal of previous experience, and sociodemographic profiles influence women’s willingness to accept student participation in their consultations. Methods: We selected 743 cases (45.1% prenatal) with previous experience in student participation of 893 women attending outpatient gynecological (52.6%) or prenatal (47.4%) clinics at Brasilia University Hospital from 2016 to 2019. Scales were adopted for women’s appraisal of student interpersonal communication, willingness to accept, and unwillingness to accept student participation. We used t tests to assess differences, chi-square statistics to compare proportions between outpatient groups, correlations between key variables, and linear regression to estimate variables predicting the willingness outcome. Results: Odds ratios over 1 (p< 0.01) emerged for age older than 35 years, not married, less than higher education, multiparity, discomfort with students, and lower acceptance of gender equality in relation to the Ob-Gyn gender for the gynecological group. Women in the gynecological group offered a better appraisal (from one to five) of interpersonal communication (4.75 vs. 4.43, effect size g= 0.605), showed more willingness (4.58 vs. 4.26, g= 0.625), and conveyed less unwillingness to accept student participation (2.35 vs. 2.47, g= 0.143) than women in the prenatal group. In the linear regression analysis (N= 743), a higher willingness to accept student participation was significantly related (in decreasing impact) to better appraisal of student interpersonal communication (p< 0.001), lower unwillingness (p< 0.001), gynecological group (p< 0.001), tolerance to pelvic examination by a student (p= 0.017), and age older than 35 years (p= 0.016). Conclusions: The experience of supportive interpersonal communication, especially regarding the gynecological group, had a predominant impact on the patient’s willingness to accept the participation of students in consultations. Overall, the willingness to accept this participation differs depending on the patient’s (reason for consultation, lower unwillingness, age) and student’s (communication, gender) factors. Hopefully, the findings can contribute to fostering student-patient partnerships from the perspective of the articulation between service and teaching in medicine.

Published: October 2023

Abstract Introduction: Heated tobacco products (HTP) have gained popularity in recent years. However, questions have been raised about the damage they cause to health, especially the impacts resulting from exposure to their emissions. This study aims to evaluate the impact of the use of HTPs indoors on air quality and/or the health of passively exposed people, through a systematic review of original studies. Methods: A bibliographic search was carried out in the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System (MEDLINE), Excerpta Medica Database (EMBASE), Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences (LILACS) and SCOPUS databases. Results: 21 studies were selected and included in this review. The results indicate that heated tobacco products are a source of environmental pollution due to the emission of particulate matter. The stages of selection, data extraction and risk of bias assessment of the studies were performed in pairs, independently, and disagreements were resolved by consensus. Conclusion: Heated tobacco products produce emissions that can expose people to toxic substances emitted indoors, just like other tobacco products.

ABSTRACT Objective: Postoperative readmission rates can be used to assess hospital care quality. The rates of unplanned readmission within 30 days after spine surgery are variable in the literature, and no studies have evaluated such rates in a single Latin American center. This study aimed to assess the rate of unplanned hospital readmission within 30 days after a spine surgery at a single Brazilian institution and to identify possible risk factors. Methods: Patients who underwent spine surgery at a single private hospital between January 2018 and December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and those with unplanned readmissions within 30 days of discharge were identified. Risk factors were determined, and the reoperation rate was assessed. Results: 650 patients were included in the analysis, and 74 (11.28%) were readmitted within 30 days after surgery. Higher readmission rates were observed after vertebroplasty and surgeries involving spinal or bone tumors. The risk factors found in the series were older age, longer hospital stays, higher ASA scores, instrumented surgeries, diabetes mellitus, and surgeries involving primary or secondary spinal tumors. The most common causes of unplanned readmission were infection and pain. Of the readmissions, 28.37% required a return to the operating room. Conclusions: This study suggests infection and pain management were the most common causes of unplanned readmission after spine surgery. Strategies to improve perioperative and postoperative care are required to reduce unplanned readmissions. Level of Evidence III; Retrospective Comparative Study.

Published: October 2023

Levando-se em consideração as atuais políticas públicas educativas vinculadas ao processo de universitarização e academicização do contexto formativo no Brasil, o objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar como as dinâmicas curriculares que compõem os currículos dos cursos de formação de professores de Educação Física tem compreendido o lugar da prática, bem como qual tem sido o espaço destinado à tematização das diferentes práticas corporais relacionadas ao âmbito da cultura corporal de movimento ao longo desse processo. Para isso, entrevistou-se 7 formadores oriundos de universidades públicas do Estado de São Paulo, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os resultados foram submetidos à análise de conteúdo e compuseram dois eixos analíticos: 1) O contexto formativo e o lugar da prática nos currículos dos cursos de formação na Educação Física; e, 2) As práticas corporais, a cultura corporal de movimento e sua integração aos currículos e processos formativos no campo da Educação Física. Conclui-se que pouca atenção tem sido dada aos componentes práticos dos currículos dos cursos de formação de professores de Educação Física. Transformar tais perspectivas requer a aproximação dialética da universidade e da escola para que a formação de professores possa estar articulada de modo mais adequado, condizente, coerente e significativo com as atuais necessidades referentes às formas nas quais o campo profissional tem operado e se constituído na contemporaneidade.
Slope visualisation and stability study using geographic information science
Authors: Jian Xianghui
Published: October 2023

High-precision visualised three-dimensional (3D) slope modelling and stability analysis have benefited from the quick development of big data technology. This research aims to utilise unmanned aerial vehicle survey data to obtain influencing information on slope topography. A high-precision 3D surface model is established, which is then overlaid with 3D geological models and 3D mineral models constructed using geographic information system technology. This approach enables more efficient and accurate 3D visualisation modelling of slopes. Based on the 3D model, the search for the most dangerous sliding surface under rainfall conditions is completed. The average absolute error of sample points in the surface modelling effect verification experiment is less than 0.5 m, and the average relative error is less than 2%. These results indicate that the overall modelling effect of the 3D slope model can meet the requirements of subsequent stability analysis. According to the results of random simulation, the minimum safety factor on the most neutral surfaces is less than 1, which indicates that the slopes at some locations in this site do have the possibility of landslide. The neutral surface where the lowest safety factor appears can be used to pinpoint the position of the most hazardous sliding surface.

This paper is the first to describe the conditions and features of the channel formation for the lower Irtysh (from the city of Omsk to the confluence with the Tobol River), with a focus on the formation of the channel’s bends and branches at various structural levels. Basing on the geological and geomorphological structure of the river valley, we divided the Irtysh into ten sections, each of which has its own characteristics of the distribution of channel types, their parameters, and transformations. The portion of the Irtysh River from Omsk to the Tobol River mainly meanders, and its bends are often complicated by islands in the near-top parts, on their upper wings or on rectilinear ‘inserts’ of large adjacent bends the tops of which are located at opposite sides of the valley bottom or islands being an element of sinusoidal and finger-shaped bends. At the beginning of the section, channel (island) branchings are common, mostly single and one-sided, being 112 km in total length, which is 9.6 % of the length of the river (from Omsk to the mouth of the Tara River). The results obtained are of great importance for the water management and water transport development of the river.

The article presents a spatio-temporal assessment of the changes in meteorological parameters characterizing the temperature regime of the Trans-Baikal Territory during the period of modern warming, which began in the mid-1970s. We analyzed both the average annual and average seasonal air temperatures as well as important indicators of heat supply such as stable periods with different air temperatures, a period without frosts, their beginning and end, the sum of air temperatures above 5 and 10°C. The distribution of the considered characteristics and their changes by geo-administrative districts of the region is shown. For the study period, along with an increase in the average annual air temperature, mainly associated with intensive growth in the spring months, there is also noted an increase in the duration of stable periods above certain air temperatures and a period without frosts. The dates of their onset began to be noted earlier in the spring and later in the autumn. The sums of temperatures above 5 and 10°C have also increased. The last decade has been characterized by the most intensive rise in air temperatures, especially in the winter months. As a result, the growth rate of most of the other parameters considered in the paper, which mainly characterize the heat supply of the warm period, has been declining in recent years. The results obtained can be used as a scientific basis for planning sectoral and regional strategies for adaptation to modern climate change.
MILITARY TOPICS IN RUSSIAN SOCIO-GEOGRAPHICAL RESEARCH: APPROACHES, TRENDS, PRIORITIES
Authors:   Southern Federal University, Druzhinin Alexander G.
Published: October 2023

The article discusses the factors, trends, research approaches, and priorities for the development of ‘military subjects’ in Russian human geography. The focus of the analysis is both a prolonged retrospective (since the first half of the 19th century) and current processes, including relevant aspects of the Special Military Operation in Ukraine. Priority attention is paid to the peculiarities of the formation and development in Russia of a special geographical subdiscipline – military geography, as well as the evolution of its basic methodological postulates (considered in the context of global trends). Russian military geography, having initially been one of the drivers of the development of Russian geographical science as a whole, has been on the periphery of scientific search since the middle of the 20th century; the increasing distancing from other (non-military) sections of geography (primarily those related to social studies) has become one of the basic factors (and manifestations) of actual stagnation and marginalization of military geographical research. The paper shows that the metamorphoses of the nature of ‘war’ manifested in the last decades (as well as its reflection by society), complemented by the increasing role of the ‘military component’ in the spatial organization of society, initiate the necessary transition to an extremely broad understanding of the scope of ‘military geography’, whose subject-object sphere is designed to comprise the totality of not only geographical aspects of military activity but also military operations themselves, with priority attention to spatial determinants, consequences as well as structures of war (military districts, theaters of military operations, military landscapes, etc.). It is emphasized that in modern Russia, there are both multidimensional prerequisites for the further development of military geographical research (including in line with the ‘geopoliticization’ of science) and significant barriers (informational, institutional, moral and mental) to their cultivation within human geography.

Published: October 2023

The article deals with the theoretical and methodological issues of studying the social well-being of the population as one of the indicators showing the state of the territorial community of people. The scientific foundation of the study is behavioral geography, which is presented as a relatively new and dynamically developing branch of human geography. The paper emphasizes theconnection of social geography with behavioral, cultural, and humanitarian geography, the featuresofapproaches and methods; the subject intersection and mutual enrichment with sociology, cultural studies, psychology, and other related sciences are shown. The strengthening of social priorities in the development of social geography necessitates search for sources of growth in human capital, its social component, which is the focus of behavioral geography. The methodological basis for studying the social well-being of the population in behavioral geography is the territorial community of people, representing a conceptual model of the society. The authors substantiate the need to apply new methods of geographical diagnostics of the quality of life througha number of indicators, among which social well-being is to be preferred. The article presents the concept of ‘social well-being of the population’ as a set of parameters that characterize the state of the territorial community of people, suggests methods for conducting its diagnostics and monitoring, and shows the leading role of sociological methods in the study of this issue.The results of studies conducted in the Perm region in the monitoring mode for the period from the early 1990s to 2021 are presented. The role of diagnosing and assessing the well-being of members of the society as an important factor in the preservation of human capital and the social development of the country and the region has been verified.

Published: October 2023

The purpose of this study is to explore the spiritual experiences which people feel through running. The investigation into running experiences was designed to further develop insight and understanding into the possible spiritual nature of the complex and multi-dimensional experiences. For this study a phenomenological approach was used The data for the study came from in-depth interviews with 8 respondents. The interviews revealed two common themes indicating the multi-dimensional aspects of leisure experiences that are spiritual. This study also found that the spiritual experiences of running could only occur not only through catalysts such as practice, nature, and meditation, but also lead to responses of retrospection, loving, and insight by runners. The spiritual running experiences engendered a range of emotional and cognitive responses as the respondents experienced thinking of the past (retrospection), a sense of connection with nature and others (loving), and some individuals seemed to attain enlightenment (insight). The results of this study support the previous conceptual propositions of the spiritual dimensions of leisure, and develop the theoretical implications by exploring the experiential and emotional dispositions people bring to their running experiences.

The purpose of this study is to examine how the customer‘s experience ing the hotel's artistic space affects the customer‘s perceived value of the hotel, in other words, the hotel's brand value. A total of 247 effective questionnaires for empirical data analyses were obtained from customers who had experienced staying at a hotel where various artworks of famous artists had been displayed. Exploratory factor analysis and multiple regression analysis were conducted to test the proposed hypotheses. Review of the related literature suggested four dimensions of experiences within artistic space, such as educational, entertainment, esthetic and escapist experience, and three different dimensions of hotel brand value such as social, functional and emotional value. The result showed that four factors of the experienced artistic space influenced the customers three factors of hotel brand value significantly. Educational experience and esthetic experience were the most important factors for the social value and functional value of hotel. While emotional value was shown to be significantly influenced by entertainment experience and esthetic experience. Furthermore, according to the variables of the level of an individual's income and enjoying visual arts, the results showed the different influence of experience on the perceived brand value of hotel, expecially the social value of hotel brand was found to be influenced most significantly among three factors of hotel brand value. Based on these results, implications and limitations are discussed.

This research explores determinants of the expenditure amount by cruise tourists. All five variables, including destination-related factors (past visiting experience, stay duration, satisfaction of harbor, and loyalty to harbor), as well as cultural background (language area) were anticipated to relate to the amount spent, while the variable of income level was expected to not be significantly related to expenditure. The raw data using 2,785 participants from ‘A Survey of 2013 Inbound Cruise Tourists’ were applied for testing the hypotheses, with some correction. The results showed that none of the independent variables of the five had a significant effect on expenditure. However linguistic types (i.e., Chinese, Japanese, & English speaking participants) had an influence on expenditure and moderating effect on the relationship between the others five independent variables and the dependent variable. In conclusion, the fact that language reflects the respondents’ cultural characteristics to determine his/her consuming behavior and expending size is discussed as well as future research possibilities.
