Inclusivity and Responsible Tourism: Designing a Trademark for a National Park Area
Authors: Sica Edgardo , Sisto Roberta , Bianchi Piervito , Cappelletti Giulio
Published: December 2020

Responsible tourism provides a particular lens by which to consider how to improve the sustainability of tourism with the ambition to enhance the positive impacts of mainstream tourism, while reducing the negative ones. In this view, facilitating travel for people with disabilities represents an exceptional opportunity, and the idea that what is accessible to one traveler may be very difficult to access to another one with a different type of disability, makes inclusive tourism a relevant part of the global sustainable tourism agenda. The present study aims to provide empirical evidence on the adoption of the principles of responsible and inclusive tourism within a national park area. To this end, the paper discusses the case of the “E-Parks” research project which investigated the area of the Gargano National Park (Italy) with a special focus on the problems faced by tourists with disabilities, and on the improvements to enable all tourists to have the full enjoyment of their tourism experience. The study contributes, therefore, to enriching the empirical literature on inclusive and responsible tourism that has its application in the design of trademark procedural guidelines enabling tourists with different disabilities to access a protected natural area.
Towards Improved Circular Economy and Resource Security in South Korea
Authors: Lee Kyounga , Cha Jongmun
Published: December 2020

This study explores the importance of critical raw materials and minerals by analyzing the Republic of Korea’s recent circular economy and resource security policy. Raw materials and rare metals are becoming increasingly significant to the Korean economy because the country is currently shifting away from fossil fuels and nuclear power towards renewable energy resources as well as transforming its industries towards decarbonization, digitization, and automation. Korea is a resource-poor country and is heavily dependent on imported minerals and rare earths, which are essential for its economy and new industry. Responding to these challenges and concerns, Korea is moving towards a sustainable circular economy and achieving greater resource security. Despite certain limitations, this transition would ultimately contribute in preparing Korea for current and future challenges in the areas of critical raw materials and minerals.
Technology Transfer for Social Entrepreneurship: Designing Problem-Oriented Innovation Ecosystems
Authors: Gerli Francesco , Chiodo Veronica , Bengo Irene
Published: December 2020

Innovation systems are increasingly oriented towards the solution of societal and environmental problems. Social entrepreneurship can be regarded as a market-based actor, inherently aimed at finding solutions for these problems. The development of technologically advanced social entrepreneurship represents an outcome of problem-oriented innovation systems, requiring a closer link between social and technological innovation. Nonetheless, the literature has not yet explored a key element of these innovation systems: the technology transfer processes, which may enable social entrepreneurial organizations to act as innovation actors leveraging on technology. This paper investigates the relationship between the technology transfer processes targeting social entrepreneurship and different models of problem-oriented innovation ecosystems. The paper relies on a multiple-case-study design, including two problem-oriented innovation ecosystems in the Italian context, namely, MIND and Torino Social Impact, which are technology transfer projects designed to target social entrepreneurship. Drawing from content analysis of interviews, documents and direct observations, the results stress that the different objectives and contents of technology transfer, coupled with different perceptions of the idiosyncratic features of social entrepreneurship compared to commercial entrepreneurship, fit different ecosystem models in terms of the participating actors, governance and primary orientation to social or economic value generation.
Impact of Land Use Change on Water Conservation: A Case Study of Zhangjiakou in Yongding River
Authors: Pan Tianshi , Zuo Lijun , Zhang Zengxiang , Zhao Xiaoli , Sun Feifei , Zhu Zijuan , Liu Yingchun
Published: December 2020

The implementation of ecological projects can largely change regional land use patterns, in turn altering the local hydrological process. Articulating these changes and their effects on ecosystem services, such as water conservation, is critical to understanding the impacts of land use activities and in directing future land planning toward regional sustainable development. Taking Zhangjiakou City of the Yongding River as the study area—a region with implementation of various ecological projects—the impact of land use changes on various hydrological components and water conservation capacity from 2000 to 2015 was simulated based on a soil and water assessment tool model (SWAT). An empirical regression model based on partial least squares was established to explore the contribution of different land use changes on water conservation. With special focus on the forest having the most complex effects on the hydrological process, the impacts of forest type and age on the water conservation capacity are discussed on different scales. Results show that between 2000 and 2015, the area of forest, grassland and cultivated land decreased by 0.05%, 0.98% and 1.64%, respectively, which reduces the regional evapotranspiration (0.48%) and soil water content (0.72%). The increase in settlement area (42.23%) is the main reason for the increase in water yield (14.52%). Most land use covered by vegetation has strong water conservation capacity, and the water conservation capacity of the forest is particularly outstanding. Farmland and settlements tend to have a negative effect on water conservation. The water conservation capacity of forest at all scales decreased significantly with the growth of forest (p < 0.05), while the water conservation capacity of different tree species had no significant difference. For the study area, increasing the forest area will be an effective way to improve the water conservation function, planting evergreen conifers can rapidly improve the regional water conservation capacity, while planting deciduous conifers is of great benefit to long-term sustainable development.
The Visual Effect of Signboards on the Vitality of the Streetscapes Using Eye-Tracking
Authors: Kim Byungsuk , Park Jina
Published: December 2020

This study focuses on whether signboards attract people’s visual concentration as a foreground element of the streetscape and check the difference in streetscape image according to the area of the signboard. For this purpose, 133 street-view photographs were taken at five major commercial districts in Seoul and 17 photos were selected for this study. The photos were then classified into the High Signboard Group (HSG) and Low Signboard Group (LSG) according to the area of the signboards and conducted eye-tracking experiments and surveys. Finally, data from 33 people were collected and a t-test was conducted to identify differences between the two groups. As a result, the number of fixations, the fixation time, and the revisits of fixation on signboards were measured higher in HSG, and the distance of gaze movement (saccade) was lower. The results of the image survey analysis showed that HSG groups had low streetscape satisfaction, signboard satisfaction, and streetscape aesthetic quality. However, Dynamic and Interesting factors were high. Taken together, the signboard can be seen as a landscape element that focuses attention by giving people an active and interesting image, which shows the importance and possibility of using signboards in future streetscape design.
Exploring EU’s Regional Potential in Low-Carbon Technologies
Authors: Bergamini Enrico , Zachmann Georg
Published: December 2020

This research builds on the regional innovation literature, and aims to better understand the potential for, and development of, low-carbon technologies in the European Union. Exploiting the OECD’s REGPAT for regionalised patent data, we estimate the potential advantage of European NUTS2 regions have in 14 green technologies. We use network proximity between technologies and between regions to understand technological/regional clusters of revealed technological advantage and build the regressors for estimating regional potential advantage in specific technologies via zero-inflated beta regressions. Based on this, we explore the region-technology networks, finding two gravity centres for green innovation in France’s and Germany’s industrial and high-tech hubs (Île de France, Stuttgart, and Oberbayern). We also construct a dataset of lagged potentials and labour market, economic and demographic variables, and perform an elastic net regularisation to understand the association with current revealed advantages. Our approach indicates an association between technological advantage in green technologies and the (lags of) participation rates in labour markets, sectoral employment in science and technology, general higher education, duration of employment, percentage of GDP spent on R&D (public and private) and other expenditure on R&D. If confirmed by causality tests, the established associations could help in designing horizontal economic policies to enable specific regions to realise their specialisation potential in specific green technologies.

Published: December 2020

In this study, the Metanil Yellow (MY) decolorizing mixed culture, namely FN3, has been isolated from agriculture soil. The mixed culture was immobilized using gellan gum. In order to optimize the immobilization process for maximal dye decolorization, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was performed. The optimal conditions for immobilization predicted by desirability function are 130 mg/L of MY dye concentration, 1.478% of gellan gum concentration, 50 beads and 0.6 cm of beads size with the percentage of decolorization of 90.378%. The correlation coefficients of the model (R2 and R2 adj) are 0.9767 and 0.9533, respectively. This indicates that the established model is suitable to predict the effectiveness of dye decolorization under the investigated condition. The immobilized beads of mixed culture FN3 were able to be reused up to 15 batches of decolorization. The immobilized cells also have high tolerance towards heavy metals. This was proven by higher dye decolorization rate by the immobilized cells even with the addition of heavy metals in the media. The decolorization potential of the mixed culture indicates that it could be useful for future bioremediation of soil contaminated sites and treatment solutions of water bodies polluted with MY dye.

Linseed is an important industrial crop cultivated for its edible seeds and fiber linen. Organic fertilizers have beneficial effects on soil properties and quality of crops. Therefore, we conducted two field experiments during 2018–2019 and 2019–2020 to determine the effect of organic fertilizers on soil fertility, yield and fiber quality of linseed varieties Roshni, BL1 and Chandni under low soil moisture conditions. We prepared organic fertilizers from seed cake of Eruca sativa, leaves of Moringa oleifera and chicken peat in various combinations by composting method. The various formulations of organic fertilizers included OF1(1 kg seed cake of Eruca sativa), OF2 (1 kg seed cake of Eruca sativa + 1 kg chicken peat), OF3 (1 kg seed cake of Eruca sativa + 0.5 kg chicken peat + 0.25 kg Moringa oliefera leaves) and OF4 (1 kg seed cake of Eruca sativa + 0.250 kg chicken peat + 0.5 kg Moringa oliefera leaves). Compositional analysis of organic fertilizers indicated that OF3 and OF4 had higher and may potentially sufficient quantities of NPK and organic matter. Both of these fertilizers significantly improved soil total N, available P, K, Zn and Fe contents. Growth response of linseed varieties to organic fertilizers was evaluated under water deficit stress (40% field capacity of soil) at tillering stage for one month. Water stress had significantly adverse effects on plant height, production of tillers per plant, leaf relative water content (LRWC), number of capsules per plant, thousand seed weight, total seed yield, straw yield, fiber length and fiber weight of linseed varieties. However, the application of OF3 and OF4 significantly enhanced plant height, tillers production, LRWC, seed yield, straw yield, fiber length and fiber weight under water deficit stress. Water deficit stress also resulted in a significant increase in the content of phenolics of both the leaves and roots. For each measured quality parameter of linseed varieties, organic fertilizer treatments resulted in higher values than untreated and irrigated control. We concluded that organic fertilizers particularly OF3 and OF4 significantly improved soil fertility and minimized negative effect of water deficit stress on plant height, tillers production, LRWC, seed yield, straw yield, fiber length and fiber weight of linseed varieties.
Place-Based Directionality of Innovation: Tasmanian Salmon Farming and Responsible Innovation
Authors: Fløysand Arnt , Lindfors Emil Tomson , Jakobsen Stig-Erik , Coenen Lars
Published: December 2020

The aim of this paper has been to explore, in depth, the place-based conditions enabling and constraining the directionality of responsible innovation in the Tasmanian salmon farming industry, and to discuss how this case can inform the broader literature on directionality of innovations. Theoretically, we argue that the combination of literature on responsible research and innovation (RRI), regional innovation system (RIS) and discourse theory is a useful starting point for addressing innovation as a territorial complex consisting of a material dimension in terms of technologies and resources, an organizational dimension in terms of innovation systems and regulations, and a discursive dimension in terms of narratives in play. When applying the complex to analyze how place-based conditions have enabled and constrained the directionality of responsible innovation in the Tasmanian salmon industry, the case discerns that the directionality of responsible innovation arises from a rather mature and well-organized regional innovation system, which allows multiple stakeholders to articulate their narratives. Under such circumstances, responsible innovation becomes a multidimensional, interactive, and co-created phenomenon consisting of several dilemmas. Still, although the contextualization of responsible innovation is highlighted, our case study acknowledges that certain “universal” characteristics shine through. By this we mean that context sensitivity must not supersede the fact that place-based responsible innovation is always subject to some generic dynamism: under all circumstances there will be a territorial innovation complex at play.
Air Pollution and Its Association with the Greenland Ice Sheet Melt
Authors: Vikrant Kumar , Kwon Eilhann E. , Kim Ki-Hyun , Sonne Christian , Kang Minsung , Shon Zang-Ho
Published: December 2020

The Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) has been a topic of extensive scientific research over the past several decades due to the exponential increase in its melting. The relationship between air pollution and GrIS melting was reviewed based on local emission of air pollutants, atmospheric circulation, natural and anthropogenic forcing, and ground/satellite-based measurements. Among multiple factors responsible for accelerated ice melting, greenhouse gases have long been thought to be the main reason. However, it is suggested that air pollution is another piece of the puzzle for this phenomenon. In particular, black carbon (BC) and other aerosols emitted anthropogenically interact with clouds and ice in the Arctic hemisphere to shorten the cloud lifespan and to change the surface albedo through alteration of the radiative balance. The presence of pollution plumes lowers the extent of super cooling required for cloud freezing by about 4 °C, while shortening the lifespan of clouds (e.g., by altering their free-energy barrier to prompt precipitation). Since the low-level clouds in the Arctic are 2–8 times more sensitive to air pollution (in terms of the radiative/microphysical properties) than other regions in the world, the melting of the GrIS can be stimulated by the reduction in cloud stability induced by air pollution. In this study, we reviewed the possible impact of air pollution on the melting of the GrIS in relation to meteorological processes and emission of light-absorbing impurities. Long-term variation of ground-based AERONET aerosol optical depth in Greenland supports the potential significance of local emission and long-range transport of air pollutants from Arctic circle and continents in the northern hemisphere in rapid GrIS melting trend.
The Economic Impact of Climate Change on Urban Drainage Master Planning in Barcelona
Authors: Ortiz Alejandro , Velasco Maria José , Esbri Oscar , Medina Vicente , Russo Beniamino
Published: December 2020

In the context of global change, urban drainage infrastructures must be planned considering future challenges such as new climate change and urban growth scenarios. Large cities require master plans to properly rank and schedule infrastructure development. The flood mitigation measures proposed in previous plans must be revised and updated to address future urban challenges with special regard to climate scenarios. Regarding risk assessment, there is no linear relationship between an increase in rainfall and an increase in risk value. For risk management, the relationship between an increase in rainfall increase and the budget for mitigation measures is even more complex. To investigate this relationship and the economic impact of the aforementioned update, a new plan should be elaborated. Urban drainage master plans have been developed in Barcelona city for the last 50 years. In terms of rainfall, the impact of climate change has been established to be an increase of 7–26% at peak intensity, depending on rainfall duration. The Integral Drainage Master Plan of Barcelona (PDISBA) addresses these new challenges. The modification of rainfall scenario planning and the typology of mitigation measures result in an important rise in investment budget, infrastructure life cycle, and operation and maintenance budgets for said infrastructure. The total cost of the planned measures outlined in the PDISBA has risen to €1.442 million, nearly double that of the previous plan developed in 2006.
Improving the Carbon Capture Efficiency for Gas Power Plants through Amine-Based Absorbents

Published: December 2020

Environmental concern for our planet has changed significantly over time due to climate change, caused by an increasing population and the subsequent demand for electricity, and thus increased power generation. Considering that natural gas is regarded as a promising fuel for such a purpose, the need to integrate carbon capture technologies in such plants is becoming a necessity, if gas power plants are to be aligned with the reduction of CO2 in the atmosphere, through understanding the capturing efficacy of different absorbents under different operating conditions. Therefore, this study provided for the first time the comparison of available absorbents in relation to amine solvents (MEA, DEA, and DEA) CO2 removal efficiency, cost, and recirculation rate to achieve Climate change action through caron capture without causing absorbent disintegration. The study analyzed Flue under different amine-based solvent solutions (monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), and methyldiethanolamine (MDEA)), in order to compare their potential for CO2 reduction under different operating conditions and costs. This was simulated using ProMax 5.0 software modeled as a simple absorber tower to absorb CO2 from flue gas. Furthermore, MEA, DEA, and MDEA adsorbents were used with a temperature of 38 °C and their concentration varied from 10 to 15%. Circulation rates of 200–300 m3/h were used for each concentration and solvent. The findings deduced that MEA is a promising solvent compared to DEA and MDEA in terms of the highest CO2 captured; however, it is limited at the top outlet for clean flue gas, which contained 3.6295% of CO2 and less than half a percent of DEA and MDEA, but this can be addressed either by increasing the concentration to 15% or increasing the MEA circulation rate to 300 m3/h.

Published: December 2020

Data on the cross section and kinetic rate of charge exchange (CX) between the bare beryllium nucleus, the ion Be(+4) and the neutral hydrogen atom are of great interest for visible-range high-resolution spectroscopy in the ITER tokamak because beryllium is intended as the material for the first wall in the main chamber. Here an analysis of available data is presented, and the data needs are formulated. Besides the active probe signal produced by the CX of the diagnostic hydrogen neutral beam with impurity ions in plasma, a passive signal produced by the CX of impurity ions with cold edge plasma is also important, as it shows in observation data from the JET (Joint European Torus) tokamak with an ITER-like beryllium wall. Data in the range of a few eV/amu to ~100 eV/amu (amu stands for the atomic mass unit) needed for simulations of level populations for principal and orbital quantum numbers in the emitting beryllium ions Be(+3) can be obtained with the help of two-dimensional kinetic codes. The lack of literature data, especially for data resolved in orbital quantum numbers, has instigated us to make numerical calculations with the ARSENY code. A comparison of the results obtained for the one-centre Coulomb problem using an analytic approach and for the two-centre problem using numerical simulations is presented.

дифференциальных уравнений. Основными критериями, которым должны
соответствовать уравнения, являются простота и удобство для практического
использования в условиях строительной площадки. В статье рассмотрены две
нелинейные подмодели, показывающие распределение тепла при бетонировании
колонны с использованием внешних источников тепла, приведены экспериментальные
данные бетонирования фрагмента бетонной колонны при различных режимах подачи
тепла и сравнение полученных практических результатов с теоретическими
данными.
На основании полученных данных было выявлено следующее:
1. Нелинейные подмодели хорошо коррелируют с практическими
результатами;
2. Наиболее точное описания получилось для случая малой и средней
мощности;
3. Доказана эффективность использования подмоделей, найденных
методами группового анализа дифференциальных уравнений.
AESTHETICS INFLUENCE ON THE SHAPING IN ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN
Authors: Kalashnik D. , Popov A.
Published: December 2020

In environmental design, great importance is attached to the function, ergonomics and economy of the object, but aesthetic parameters are extremely important to fully meet the modern requirements of environmental design. This article is devoted to the aesthetic comprehension of the material basis of the environment, on the basis of which the aesthetics forms in design. Within environmental creativity, there is the possibility of an unhindered transition of one form of aesthetic activity into another. Their joint implementation is due to their development on the same material basis of the environment. A complete solution to aesthetic problems can only be found if their solution can be relevant to the solution of functional, economic and technical problems. Environmental design is a specific area of activity for the development of a subject-spatial environment, in order to give the design results high consumer properties and aesthetic qualities. Aesthetic activity in environmental design is a generator of expressive forms of any sphere of human activity, given as an independent and sensually expressed value. A positive aesthetic assessment of the subject-spatial environment takes place only by means of a sense of harmony between the appropriate organization and the beautiful image of the form.
Movements and trends in modern food design.
Authors: Lychagina A. , Klimenko V.
Published: December 2020

Article shows a complex review of new movements and trends in food design. Food design types are described, and alternative classification is presented. The matrix classification model is built on the traditional scheme of Russian school of design thinking called “man-subject-environment”. The subject is divided into tools or instruments and the food itself as a product of man plus machines’ activity. Trends in modern food design are divided into physical, social and cultural types based on a simplified Satter’s foodrole model. Attention is paid in majority to social and cultural trends. Cultural heritage renovation, sustainable food design and food design experience are described as significant trends. The article also describes several projects in the field of the search for new food. This trend continues since the second half of the twentieth century and implies food only as a saturation tool. The author suggests perceiving nutrition in food design as an instrument of social interaction, a way of self-actualization in the global multicultural world and an instrument of psychological therapy. In conclusion, directions for design projects are proposed in accordance with the identified trends.
La trayectoria escolar asistida: entre el aula heterogénea, las pruebas Aprender y un poco de autoayuda. Tensiones cotidianas del Nuevo Régimen Académico para la escolaridad secundaria (Córdoba, Argentina)
Authors: Bocchio María Cecilia , Grinberg Silvia Mariela
Published: December 2020

Las reformas al régimen académico de la escuela secundaria ocupan un lugar central en la agenda educativa. Variar el formato escolar se asume desde la Ley de Educación Nacional como una estrategia clave para garantizar la inclusión en la escuela secundaria.

Abordamos el Nuevo Régimen Académico lanzado de “modo piloto” por el Ministerio de Educación de la Provincia de Córdoba en 2018. El estudio de caso se desarrolla en una de las 76 escuelas que en 2018 iniciaron la puesta en acto de esta política. La secundaria se emplaza en una Ciudad-Barrio de Córdoba, signada por la vulnerabilidad socioeducativa de su matrícula. Desde los aportes de la Teoría de la Regulación Social analizamos la trayectoria escolar asistida como mecanismo de inclusión que es tensionado por diversos instrumentos de evaluación, entre ellos, la evaluación estandarizada y externa, como las pruebas Aprender. Proponemos que tales tensiones involucran tanto la búsqueda de alternativas docentes para que el aprendizaje tenga lugar en la hoy denominada “aula heterogénea”, como así también dar respuesta a los requerimientos que las evaluaciones le imprimen al trabajo docente. Entre ambas los relatos de autoayuda aparecen en la escena escolar como modos de afrontar el desafío de garantizar la inclusión apelando a las voluntades individuales sobre lo que se quiere y lo que se puede hacer por los alumnos.

Para todos o para nadie. El debate sobre la Ley de Zonas Francas en el Congreso de la Nación Argentina
Authors: Moltó Mauricio
Published: December 2020

Durante la década de 1990, la agenda económica argentina se vio traccionada por la idea de “volver al mundo”. En paralelo con la deslegitimación de la intervención estatal, ganaron terreno discursos relacionados con la competitividad y la eficiencia. En este contexto, resurgió la idea de dotar al país de una normativa para la regulaciónde actividades en las zonas francas. En este sentido, interesa analizar el proceso mediante el cual la idea de las zonas francas como dispositivode desarrollo económico retorna a la agenda pública argentina. Asimismo, observaremos las diferentes posiciones e intereses que seentrecruzaron durante el tratamiento de la Ley 24.331. La hipótesis es que la posibilidad de crear zonas francas funcionó como punto deequilibrio entre la demanda de políticas públicas económicas por parte de las provincias y la oferta de herramientas disponibles en manos del gobierno nacional, las cuales le permitían mantenerse dentro de los márgenes discursivos de la posición ideológica.

De uma luta singular à uma causa exemplar
Authors: Rodrigues João Paulo
Published: December 2020

Uma série de atos contra monumentos e referências memoriais, em diversos países, se sucedeu às imagens agônicas da morte do cidadão negro estadunidense George Floyd, nos últimos meses. Para além do ataque a estátua do traficante de escravos inglês Edward Colston, personagens que, aparentemente, não guardavam nenhuma relação com a violência policial contra Floyd tiveram suas efígies questionadas, a exemplo de James Cook, na Austrália, e os bandeirantes, no Brasil. Tomando como fontes matérias publicadas em jornais e revistas e valendo-se, sobretudo, das reflexões teóricas de Michael Pollak e Pierre Nora, este artigo se dedica a analisar as disputas de memória que se puseram em marcha nessa onda contestatória recente, contra referências imagéticas que se espalham pelas paisagens de diversos países pelo mundo.
Imagens militantes
Authors: De Menezes Marcos Antonio
Published: December 2020

A intenção neste estudo é valermo-nos das imagens como fonte historica e a partir da leitura de um conjunto delas, produzidas na França no período que vai de 1784 a 1793, ler algumas representações da Revolução Francesa de 1789. Pretendemos ler nas imagens certa intencionalidade em retratar o presente e propor uma ação que se dá no viés do político. Para tal, selecionamos quatro (4) pinturas de Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825), que, sob nossa ótica, são representativas dos acontecimentos do período mais revolucionário que a França, e talvez o mundo, já viveu. Todos temos claro que uma imagem (uma tela) pertence à outra categoria de objeto, diferente de um texto escrito e, portanto, exige um redobrado esforço metodológico para sua leitura. E é bom que se diga que nenhum objeto de investigação é portador de verdade total e é por tal motivo que os historiadores sempre estão a reclamar uma coleção de documentos ao seu redor quando se dispõem a pesquisar.

Published: December 2020

O presente artigo, de cunho teórico-empírico, busca analisar as representações atribuídas aos trabalhos manuais na obra literária “Olga”, de Fernando Morais. Para tanto, se propõe a investigar e interpretar as passagens da narrativa que exaltam práticas como o bordado, o crochê e o tricô, a fim de verificar suas inferências na vida da protagonista e dos demais personagens quanto a estes ofícios. Objetiva-se compreender as aproximações entre os trabalhos manuais e os conceitos de memória, identidade e imaginário.

The jellyfish bloom, i.e. the aggregation of Pelagia noctiluca, which occurred in January 2016 along the Shivrajpur coast facing the Arabian Sea, is reported. The jellyfish population was studied based on the Pelagia noctiluca individuals that were stranded in low tide pools and those that were washed ashore. Transects were laid to collect data on the jellyfish density. The oceanographic and physicochemical parameters at the time of bloom were studied. The probability of correlation between the time of bloom and the movement of P. noctiluca was considered. Additionally, mating and predation on the species were documented. We assume that the jellyfish bloom might have drifted to this coast due to the landlocked characteristics of the Arabian Sea and northward movements of sea currents. So far, jellyfish has been known to be the dietary preference of several vertebrate predators. Here, we report an interesting event of Anemonia viridis feeding on Pelagia noctiluca during their blooms in several intertidal pools on the coast.

This article aims to examine the relationship between willingness to pay and tourists’ circuit in Kundasang-Ranau, Sabah. The research approach used was the evaluation and case study. This study involves the use of quantitative methods through a survey questionnaire of 150 respondents. The result shows that the majority of the tourists’ travel status to selected tourism locations in Kundasang-Ranau were decided personally by the tourists themselves which are 131 respondents (87.3%). The status of travel to tourist destinations set by tourism package was 11 respondents (7.3%) and travel set by the organization or institution was eight people (5.3%). A total of 105 respondents (70%) stated that the price of the entrance fees to tourist destinations influenced their decision to determine the tourist destination they visit. Next, the main criterion taken into account by tourists in choosing a tourist destination is the destination that they have never visited, which is 59 people (59.3%). The results of the study also found that tourists’ circuit is not only influenced by the willingness of visitors to pay to a certain destination but also influenced by the type of travel status chosen.
Reconstruction of the right-hand part of a distributed differential equation using a positional controlled model
Authors: Blizorukova M.S. , Maksimov V.I.
Published: December 2020

In this paper, we consider the stable reconstruction problem of the unknown input of a distributed system of second order by results of inaccurate measurements of its solution. The content of the problem considered is as follows. We consider a distributed equation of second order. The solution of the equation depends on the input varying in the time. The input, as well as the solution, is not given in advance. At discrete times the solution of the equation is measured. These measurements are not accurate in general. It is required to design an algorithm for approximate reconstruction of the input that has dynamical and stability properties. The dynamical property means that the current values of approximations of the input are produced on-line, and the stability property means that the approximations are arbitrarily accurate for a sufficient accuracy of measurements. The problem refers to the class of inverse problems. The algorithm presented in the paper is based on the constructions of a stable dynamical inversion and on the combination of the methods of ill-posed problems and positional control theory.
Enhanced two-photon excited fluorescence by ultrafast intensity fluctuations from an optical parametric generator
Authors: Eto Yujiro
Published: December 2020

We evaluate the enhancement of two-photon excited fluorescence from fluorescent dye by ultrafast intensity fluctuations of light generated by a nanosecond optical parametric generator (OPG). By modifying the well-established techniques for measuring the second-order coherence on ultrashort timescale, we observed the enhancement of the fluorescence from Rhodamine B dye by a factor of two due to the bunching effect of light. A nanosecond OPG can be built at a much lower cost than the ultrashort pulse used in two-photon excitation microscopes. Therefore, our work paves the way toward a low-cost and efficient nonlinear microscope.

Barriers to effective painless labor in developing countries and the remedial measures
Authors: Ali Prof. Liaquat
Published: December 2020

Childbirth has been the most controversial subject in the pain management since ages. While there are some proponents which argue that pain is pain, and it’s the physician’s responsibility to relieve it as he does for the kidney pain or even simple headache; while some argue that it is not a pathological  process, and that pain associated with labor brings about a stronger and lasting bondage between mother and child. A religious argument has also been presented against it. The introduction of epidural anesthesia revitalized interest in offering pain relief in labor even for prolonged periods. In resource poor countries, it has been looked upon with guarded skepticism. The scarcity of resources and staff, coupled with lack of a nation-wide awareness campaign has been largely responsible for the low practice of this modality in SAARC countries. Apicare Journal has raised this issue at SAARC level with the association of representative bodies of the member countries. This editorial is an attempt to present some insight on the barriers to painless labor and remedial measures in our countries.

Indonesia has been fighting the COVID-19 pandemic since the beginning of March 2020, and it doesn’t look that the situation is getting better any soon. Besides the country’s current strategies to minimize the rising mortality rate, a novel therapeutic intervention is required. After a thorough search in several databases, we found stem cells to be a likely candidate. Regardless of the general use of stem cells, studies showed positive results regarding the efficacy of using these in lung injuries. Especially, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are known for their easy accessibility and their diverse mechanisms of action, including MSCs immunomodulatory antiviral effect, and its ability to improve lung function. Moreover, some researches perceived these components to be applicable in COVID-19 patients with end stage acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). While randomized clinical trials are still in progress, many case reports show MSCs to be an advantageous alternative to suppress the cytokine storm and help regulate the immune system. This review summarizes the common functions of MSCs and highlights its therapeutic assets to fully tackle this global pandemic.

Double clear plastic screens to minimize droplet spread and aerosolization at extubation in COVID-19 patient
Authors: Shamim Faisal , Samad Khalid , Khan Muhammad Faisal
Published: December 2020

The droplets of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can be transmitted during aerosol-generating procedures involving tracheal intubation.1 Anesthesiologists are exposed to a higher risk than other specialty healthcare workers because they manage the airway and ventilation.2 Extubation is as high a risk for aerosolization of respiratory secretions as is intubation. Additional barriers have been described for intubation like using intubation box or clear plastic drapes but limited options have been explored for extubation.3 Some experts suggest placing wet gauze over the patient’s mouth and nose just prior to extubation if the patient starts to cough, and/or covering the patient's face with a clear plastic drape.4

Recently, a confirmed COVID-19 patient came for appendectomy in which we have used an alternative approach to protect against aerosolized droplets during extubation. Before induction of anesthesia, we put a large clear plastic sheet (120 x 200 cm), which is routinely used in pediatric surgery. The screen is adjusted in height and width with two infusion poles (drip stands) to the head end. We intubated with a videolaryngoscope, making sure that the plastic screen acted as a barrier between us and the patient.
