In this paper the proposed approaches to the management of cultural tourism and tourism in general are considered. The first is a review of the historical context of cultural tourism, and, through the collection of the opinions of numerous authors, an overview of the concept itself. Then there was a parallel between broken concepts, culture and tourism, and synergy and networking of these two terms. Furthermore, Montenegro is taken to be the study case, as country which has been recognizable in previous years, as one of the prosperous tourist countries in the region and beyond. Montenegrin cultural tourism and tourism in general were analyzed since the restoration of Montenegrin independence in 2006. The SWOT method was used, the application of which were obtained qualitative results that define the guidelines and suggestions for further development of cultural tourism and tourism in general in Montenegro.
SÖZLÜ KÜLTÜR VE YAZI TAKINTISI
Authors: KANCA Elif
Published: November 2020

Kültür tarihi içinde, sözlü kültür anlatıları, bilgi ve deneyimin aktarımında öncelikli bir konumdadır. Ancak, politik bir araç olarak ve zorunlulukla devreye giren yazılı geleneğin baskın kültürü karşısında, sözlü kültür devreden çıkmasa da anlam ve işlev değişikliğine uğramıştır. Dahası, sözlü anlatıların, bilimsel araştırma konusu olmasıyla birlikte, araştırmacıların zihninde hâkim olan metinselcilik nedeniyle, anlam değişimi yeni bir boyut daha kazanmıştır. Sözlü kültür anlatıları, metinselciliğin hâkim olduğu toplumlarda, geçmişin kalıntıları ve kültürel miras olarak keyfi, hayali kurmacalar olarak değerlendirilmişlerdir. Öte yandan, sözlü kültürün hâkim olduğu toplumlarda, sözlü anlatılar yerine getirdikleri işlevlerden hareketle, toplumsal bellekte yer etmekte ve toplumsallığın yeniden üretiminde önemli işlevler yerine getirmektedir. Bu nedenle, sözlü anlatıların anlaşılması ve çözümlenmesinde, üretildikleri toplumsallıktan hareket edilmesi gereklilik taşımaktadır. Bu çalışma, yazılı kültür ve sözlü kültür farklılığına ve sözlü anlatıların anlaşılmasında, antropolojik perspektifin önemine odaklanmaktadır.

Published: November 2020

Bu makale, Türk işgücü göçünün yurda dönen işçilerin siyasal tutum ve davranışları üzerindeki etkisini incelemektedir. Ankara’nın Yenimahalle ilçesinde gerçekleştirilen bir alan araştırmasının sonuçlarına dayanan çalışma; araştırma örnekleminde yer alan işçilerin yurtdışına gitmeden önceki sosyo-ekonomik statülerini, yurtdışına ne şekilde ve niçin gittiklerini, yurtdışındaki ve geri döndükten sonraki sosyo-ekonomik statülerini ve son olarak siyasal tutum ve davranışlarını kapsamaktadır. Makalede yurtdışındaki Türk işçilerinin homojen bir kitle oluşturmadığı dikkate alınarak, tüm göç sürecinin ve siyasal tutum ve davranışların, işçilerin yurtdışına gitmeden önceki sosyo-ekonomik statülerine bağlı olduğu varsayımı ileri sürülmektedir. Bu çerçevede, işçi göçünün tek başına sosyal ve politik dönüşüm yaratabilecek bir olgu olmadığı, ancak belli koşullar altında böyle bir etkiye yol açabileceği sonucuna varılmaktadır.

Prevalence and Perceptions of Cigarettes, Vaping, and Waterpipe Among Veterans
Authors:   University of North Carolina in Wilmington, Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center Aurora, CO
Published: November 2020

Introduction: Vaping has become an epidemic with serious health concerns. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently released a national alert on vaping hazards and its associations with a mysterious lung disease. The prevalence of alternative tobacco products such as waterpipe and vaping have been on the rise, with health hazards similar to those of cigarettes. However, the public is less aware of those hazards. Because the literature on alternative tobacco use among Veterans is limited, the purpose of this study is to examine veterans’ use, perceptions, and knowledge of the hazards linked to alternative tobacco products. Materials and Methods: A convenience sample of 200 veterans seeking medical care at the Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center, primary care clinics completed a survey on tobacco use. Results: Cigarettes remain the most prevalent form of tobacco used by veterans. The prevalence of “ever use” of waterpipe and/or vaping was 21% among participants, and almost all of those participants also reported cigarette use, 20.5%. About 42% of participants were unaware of harm levels from waterpipe. Discussion: Veterans are unaware of the risks associated with vaping and other alternative tobacco products and show similar use rates as the general population. Because educational campaigns have proven to be successful in decreasing smoking, the next step is to conduct educational campaigns on the hazards of alternative tobacco products among the veteran population to address myths and misperceptions regarding those products.

Resum: El patriarca bíblic Jacob és el referent objectiu amb el qual el poeta Joan Vinyoliconstrueix el poema «Nit d’àngel». El seu estudi en el context del poemari on és inclòs, ElCallat, em porta a veure’l com una exposició, diguem, del que per a ell és la paraula “inspiració”.Diria que Vinyoli, feta l’anàlisi del poema i una possible interpretació, ens hi mostraquin és l’esforç d’accés a la pròpia i més fonda interioritat, la qual retorna a l’exterior amb eltreball poètic, és a dir, en la construcció que ell anomena «els cants». L’experiència de Jacobd’haver lluitat amb un àngel, doncs, com a imatge reflexa de la descoberta de la intimitat i,simultàniament, de quin és del sentit de la seva vida de poeta.
Paraules clau: Jacob, inspiració, interioritat, símbol, transcendència, natura.
Abstract: The biblical patriarch Jacob is the objective reference with which the poet JoanVinyoli constructs the poem «Nit d’àngel». His study in the context of the book of poems inwhich is included, El Callat, makes me see it as an exhibition, let us say, of what for him isthe word “inspiration”. I would say that Vinyoli, once the analysis of the poem and a possibleinterpretation have been made, shows us what the effort is to access one’s own deepestinteriority, which returns to the exterior with the poetic work, that is, in the construction ofthe one he names “els cants”. Jacob’s experience of having struggled with an angel, then, asa reflection of the discovery of intimacy and, simultaneously, of what is the meaning of hislife as a poet.

Assessment of the applicability of transthoracic lung ultrasound for diagnosing purulent lobar pneumonia – A case study
Authors: Grabala Jolanta , Grabala Michał , Onichimowski Dariusz , Grabala Paweł
Published: November 2020

Introduction:
Purulent lobar pneumonia is an inflammation of pulmonary tissue that may progress to parenchymal necrosis and abscess formation. The authors present a case of purulent lobar pneumonia diagnosed using transthoracic lung ultrasound (TLU). Abscess-type lesions had not been visualized in previous computed tomography (CT) scans.

Aim:
To analyze the potential of TLU as a diagnostic tool for purulent lobar pneumonia.

Case study:
A 55-year-old patient with a several-week history of cough, abdominal pain, and diarrhea was admitted to the intensive care unit due to rapidly progressing cardiopulmonary failure. CT revealed merging parenchymal/interstitial densities within the right lung. Broad-spectrum antibiotics were initiated. TLU revealed the presence of lesions characteristic of pneumonia with the development of abscesses and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Despite treatment initiation, the patient’s condition progressively worsened. On the 3rd day of hospitalization, the patient passed away. At autopsy, purulent lobar pneumonia was identified as the direct cause of death.

Results and discussion:
Despite broad and well-documented knowledge regarding its applicability, ultrasound has not been widely used as a diagnostic tool.

Conclusions:
TLU is a safe, repeatable, and inexpensive diagnostic tool. The use of ultrasound in diagnosing pneumonia is well documented, and based on specific diagnostic criteria. As a diagnostic tool for pneumonia, dynamic air bronchogram had a high specificity and positive predictive value. The high sensitivity and specificity of TLU, as pertains to detecting necrosis or abscesses in the course of pneumonia, is comparable with CT. TLU facilitated visualization of small-diameter abscesses.

Published: November 2020

Como una manera de contribuir a la formación de los estudiantes, generar una cultura de la paz en nuestra sociedad y tratar de propiciar un clima agradable para los estudiantes, se pretende conocer en qué medida el estudiante de preparatoria percibe la solución de conflictos y la tutoría académica como predictores del ambiente escolar. Para ello, se planteó una investigación aplicada con enfoque explicativo, de corte cuantitativo y transversal. Se administraron 218 encuestas a estudiantes de primer y tercer semestre de la Preparatoria 13 de la Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León. El modelo indica que dos de los factores son predictores significativos logrando explicar el 12.6% de la varianza en el clima escolar. Los factores predictores resultaron ser la solución de conflictos por mediación personal (B = .280, p = .000) y la tutoría dedicada y confiable (B = .167, p = .013). En conclusión, ambos factores explican significativamente y con un bajo tamaño del efecto el ambiente escolar. Se recomienda realizar acciones que ayuden a mejorar el clima escolar a través del uso de la mediación como método de la solución de conflictos y la tutoría dedicada y confiable. Socializar los resultados de esta investigación con compañeros puede ayudar a mejorar el clima escolar dentro de la institución educativa.

Authors: Antonysamy Grace , Maria Marian Benita
Published: November 2020

Background: Physical and mental health are interrelated and influenced by various factors. Infertility is a physical condition that impacts the mental health of individuals experiencing it. It is a well-established fact that all over the world millions of couples are affected by infertility. In India many couples are infertile. Discovering that one is infertile is more than just another stressful event in oneÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s life. Being confronted by failure and helplessness, one feels increasingly anxious and immobilized. Aim: To understand the psychosocial problems faced by women due to infertility. Methodology: A Descriptive research design was adopted for the study. Women attending the clinic for treatment of infertility were the respondents. A semi-structured interview schedule was used to obtain the data. Results: Majority of the educated women married at a young age and sought treatment within five years of the marriage. They had menstrual problems and were referred by their families for treatment. Most of them had identified the problems and were into treatment. They were anxious, yet hopeful of success. They experienced problems of stigmatization in their own families and society and desired acceptance. Conclusion: This study highlighted the situation of couples facing infertility and the need for awareness of the condition of infertility. Support for couples by the multidisciplinary team inclusive of the Social Worker through the process of diagnosis and treatment, to maintain their health and mental health as they overcome the challenge of infertility is the need of the hour.

The processes associated with transformations of oxygen-related radiation-induced defects in Czochralski-grown silicon crystals irradiated with fast electrons or neutrons and subjected to heat-treatments in the temperature range 450 – 700 °C have been studied by means of IR absorption spectroscopy. It is found that upon disappearance of the VO3 and VO4 defects the new vacancy-oxygen-related complexes, which give rise to a number of vibrational absorption bands in the 980 – 1115 cm–1 vawenumber range, are formed. It is argued that these complexes are VOm (m ≥ 5) defects which serve as radiation-induced nucleation centers of enhanced oxygen precipitation.

Sintering of powder compacts can lead to an increase in their density, with the neck between the particles growing. Powder sintering diagrams are constructed in coordinates: the relative size of the particles radius (the size of the neck between the sintered particles divided by the particle radius) and the homological melting temperature of the material. To build sintering diagrams, it is necessary to solve a system of pairs of velocity equations for the existing sintering mechanisms. The solution gives the equations of the boundaries separating the regions on the graph “relative radius of the particles – homological temperature”, in which the sintering rate by one mechanism is greater than the other. At these boundaries, the two selected sintering mechanisms make equal contributions to the growth rate of the neck between particles. Sintering diagrams of titanium powders of various dispersions were built (with an average particle size of 0,1 mkm, 1 mkm, 5 mkm and 10 mkm.). The sintering diagrams show that the dominant mechanisms of the sintering of titanium micro- and nanopowders in the temperature range 0,6 – 0,9 absolute melting temperature are surface diffusion from the surface and volume diffusion of the substance from the sources at the boundaries of grains.

Swimming pools in guest houses and hotels in many cities in sub-Saharan Africa have been labelled ‘beautiful irritation’ or hazard zones for public health issues due to the unwholesomeness of water. Pollution in swimming pools is therefore, not uncommon and it is a serious public health issue both at the global, regional, national and local levels. This study focused on application of water quality index in assessment of swimming pools water quality in hotels in emerging Africa littoral metropolis of Warri, Delta State, Nigeria. It used stratified random sampling technique to select five hotels with swimming pool in Warri for assessment. Temperature, pH, turbidity, free (residual) chlorine, total heterotrophic bacteria, total heterotrophic fungi, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus tested in the laboratory using scientific method of sampling. Water quality index (WQI) was computed using Weighted Arithmetic Water Quality Index (WAWQI) to evaluate in general, the quality of water in each of the five sampled swimming pools. A five-point scale (excellent, good, poor, very poor and unsuitable) was used to rank each swimming pool quality. Result showed that Wellington Hotel had the value of 2.52 and considered excellent in terms of water quality index value. Also, Brook View and Best Western Plus Hotels were classified as good water based on water quality index values of 36.9 and 39.9 respectively while BB swimming pool was ranked poor due to water quality index of 51.4. In contrast, Oasis Place Hotel swimming pool was declared unsuitable for recreational purpose due to a water quality index of 102.1. The study recommended routine and periodic surveillance of swimming pools and other recreational water sources to guarantee optimum health and wellbeing of users.

Published: November 2020

This study proposed and tested a new mobbing scale for academicians in higher education institutions. A two-stage methodology consisting of a qualitative approach and quantitative measuring was used in the study. First, mobbing behavior items were developed by using an in-depth interview technique on a group of Turkish academicians. Then, the developed items were formulated and applied to academicians (n = 165) working in eight state universities in Turkey. Both exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were used to test the construct validity of the scale. Additionally, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was examined in order to determine its reliability. The results of the analysis showed high validity and reliability values and revealed a two-dimensional structure of the scale. These dimensions were labeled as “vertical/horizontal mobbing” and “vertical mobbing.” The scale was labeled as the Mobbing Scale for Academicians (MS-A). As a result, MS-A is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring mobbing in the higher education environment and determines the level of mobbing behaviors. Unlike the mobbing scales in the literature, this scale is more effective because it is developed specifically for academicians. Additionally, the scale is considered to be more economical in terms of time and labor due to its brevity.

Published: November 2020

The fall in the ruble exchange rate and the fall in demand for wood led to significant financial difficulties for logging companies. The situation was also affected by the abnormally warm winter of 2019—2020, as a result of which considerable amounts of harvested wood simply could not be exported. These situations aggravated the problems associated with the death of domestic forest engineering, and even more acutely raised the question of the need to create logging complexes based on domestic machines. In recent years, after the introduction of sanctions against Russia, our country localized the production of road and agricultural machines. Unfortunately, this has not been done for the forest engineering industry, which, in fact, has ceased to exist in Russia. For a relatively quick partial import substitution in forest engineering, it is advisable to use well-developed road and agricultural machines as basic machines, applying the principle of modular construction of complexes to them.

The research conducted by lecturers and students at a university has a strong correlation with the quality of the institution. Unfortunately, the culture of writing and researching is still far from expectation. Meanwhile, some departments in the institution still manually collected the articles from the lecturer or researchers that takes big effort and time to produce a single volume of the journal. This research was conducted to improve research culture in the Petroleum Engineering Department by optimizing a well-known online submission system called Open Journal System (OJS) that has been used in several departments. OJS is configured and optimized based on lessons learned from existing journals so that it could ease the lecturers to submit and the reviewers to examine the articles. The methodology in this research includes identifying existing problems and constraints, creating questionnaires that were distributed to lecturers and students, analyzing the results of the questionnaire and the obstacles, developing and introducing this system to students and lecturers. From the questionnaire result, some problems were identified and subjected to be solved. At the end of the research, the lecturers gave good feedback to the online journal system for its simple view and easiness of publication.

Published: November 2020

Recently, it is quite difficult to find an area for cultivation in the city, therefore, the backyard area in every family house in the city is also used as a farming area known as the urban farming system. The Farmer Group in the city of Yogyakarta, namely the Wijaya Kusuma Farmer Group (WK), has developed this urban farming system in their home yards by growing vegetables and fruits. With the COVID pandemic, they plan to cultivate empon-empon, herbal plants which have benefits to increase the body immunity or known as biopharmaceutical crops. Meanwhile, the Lombok Ijo Farmer Group (LI), which is in the same area as the WK, is more oriented towards making a healthy beverage from empon-empon. However, in this pandemic situation, the price of raw material for herbal drink has increased significantly. In this case, a collaboration between those two farmer groups is needed by utilizing the empon-empon cultivation produced from the WK to meet the raw material needs for herbal drinks produced by the LI. To ensure that both farmer gro ups reach good quality products and able to meet the standards for developing SMSE, it needs to assist in cultivation, post-harvest processing, until product packaging, and marketing by training.

In general, the trainer's technical abilities must be mastered by the trainer. The reason is that those who become coaches are generally former athletes. They are also have training certificates from various training and coaching clinics. However, the ability to communicate in coaching is not necessarily fully mastered by most coaches. The purpose of this research was to add theoretical development about the study of sports coaching communication, especially in the process of athlete physical and mental training by using descriptive qualitative research approaches. The results showed that the coaching communication patterns developed in the training process and outside the training. The form of coaching communication during and outside training is generally face-to-face. The method used in coaching communication is to use lectures and demonstrations as well as to involve video media to further stimulate achievement motivation for each athlete. The approach taken in coaching communication is an open, family, and personal approach. The choice of coaching communication methods has been proven to be able to motivate and build athletes' self-confidence and athletes can accept and interpret the instructional messages conveyed and desired by the coaches. Suggestions and recommendations that can be given in this research are on the certification of trainers for each sports trainer.

The Differential Role of Practical and Emotional Support in Infant Feeding Experience in the UK
Authors: Myers Sarah , Page Abigail Emma , Emmott Emily H
Published: November 2020

Social support is a known determinant of breastfeeding behaviour and is generally considered beneficial. However, social support encompasses a myriad of different supportive acts, providing scope for diverse infant feeding outcomes. Given the vulnerability of postpartum mental health, this paper aims to explore both how support prolongs breastfeeding and which forms of support promote the positive experience of all infant feeding. Using survey data collected online from 515 UK mothers with infants aged 0-108 weeks, cox regression models assessed the relationship between receiving different types of support, support need, and breastfeeding duration. Quasi-binomial logistic regression models assessed the relationship between receiving support, infant feeding mode, and maternal experience of infant feeding. Rates of negative infant feeding experience indicate widespread need for support: e.g. 38% of currently, 47% of no longer, and 31% of never breastfeeding women found infant feeding stressful. Overall, practical support via infant feeding broadly predicted shorter breastfeeding durations and poorer feeding experience; results in relation to other forms of support were more complex. Our findings indicate different forms of support have different associations with infant feeding experience. They also highlight the wide range of individuals beyond the nuclear family on which postpartum mothers in the UK rely.

Published: November 2020

Permasalahan lingkungan akibat kegiatan eksploitasi dan eksplorasi sumber daya alam untuk energi dan pemanfaatan energi sebagai sumber alternatif menjadi isu penting di dunia, khiususnya di Indonesia. Upaya untuk menemukan sumber energi alternatif di dunia masih terus dilakukan karena ketergantungan dari bahan bakar fosil harus dikurangi. Oleh karena itu, alternatif pemanfaatan sumber daya alam sebagai energi sangat dibutuhkan. Salah satu sumber daya yang potensial adalah pemanfaatan dan kotoran ternak sebagai energi alternatif. Salah satu energi alternatif tersebut adalah biogas. Biogas dapat diproduksi dari peternakan limbah. Melalui proses fermentasi limbah ternak dapat diproduksi biogas dan hasil samping lainnya serta efek dari pengolahan ini adalah: organik pupuk, pakan hewan, dan cegah polusi. Dengan beberapa manfaat yang bisa didapat diambil dari limbah fermentasi ternak, pemanfaatan limbah ternak menjadi biogas perlu disebarluaskan di Indonesia, di mana kebanyakan orang berada tinggal di pedesaan dan mata pencaharian mereka bergantung pada pertanian.

Authors: Qi Feng
Published: November 2020

In the paper, by convolution theorem of the Laplace transforms, a monotonicity rule for the ratio of two Laplace transforms, Bernstein's theorem for completely monotonic functions, and other analytic techniques, the author (1) presents the decreasing monotonicity of a ratio constituted via three derivatives of a function involving trigamma function; (2) discovers necessary and sufficient conditions for a function constituted via three derivatives of a function involving trigamma function to be completely monotonic. These results conform previous guesses posed by the author.

Some important research questions require the ability to find evidence for two conditions being practically equivalent. This is impossible to accomplish within the traditional frequentist null hypothesis significance testing framework; hence, other methodologies must be utilized. We explain and illustrate three approaches for finding evidence for equivalence: The frequentist two one-sided tests procedure, the Bayesian highest density interval region of practical equivalence procedure, and the Bayes factor interval null procedure. We compare the classification performances of these three approaches for various plausible scenarios. The results indicate that the Bayes factor interval null approach compares favorably to the other two approaches in terms of statistical power. Critically, compared to the Bayes factor interval null procedure, the two one-sided tests and the highest density interval region of practical equivalence procedures have limited discrimination capabilities when the sample size is relatively small: specifically, in order to be practically useful, these two methods generally require over 250 cases within each condition when rather large equivalence margins of approximately 0.2 or 0.3 are used; for smaller equivalence margins even more cases are required. Because of these results, we recommend that researchers rely more on the Bayes factor interval null approach for quantifying evidence for equivalence, especially for studies that are constrained on sample size.

Published: November 2020

Context: Life expectancy best helps to capture the health and well-being of a population. However, wide differences are seen in life expectancies across different countries and at different points of time.Research objective: This study examines trends in global inequalities in Life Expectancy at birth between countries from 1960 to 2017, and studies how income inequality affects inequality in life expectancy.Data and methodology: Life expectancy at birth is the main variable under study. We have also used data on GDP per capita at purchasing power parity, Health Expenditure per capita and Government Expenditure on health per capita. Six measures of inequality have been used, primary being the Gini coefficient. We have divided the countries into four groups according to the World Bank Classification Scheme, and have used graphs, choropleth maps and Moran’s I for statistical analysis. The causal relationship between inequality in Life Expectancy and per capita GDP is examined using reduced form regression models.Findings: The life expectancy at birth shows a steadily rising trend. The choropleth maps indicate considerable spatial variations in life expectancy, which are stable over time. There is a decline in the global inequality in life expectancy over time. Moreover, the decomposition analysis for the Gini coefficient shows that in any year, the between groups inequality is more important than the within groups inequality. This is corroborated by the decomposition of Gini over time. We infer from the devised regression models that there is a positive association between per capita income inequality and inequality in life expectancy. The regressions point out evidence that inequality in lifespan and inequality in per capita income can be explained in terms of inequality in health expenditure.
