Respons på forskningskommunikation. Forskarstuderandes tvärvetenskapliga möten
Authors: Olsson Jers Cecilia
Published: July 2023

I denna artikels blickpunkt finns forskarstuderande från olika discipliner som möts i en kurs om att presentera forskning och forskningsresultat muntligt för olika typer av åhörare. Författarens intresse är att undersöka hur dessa möten gestaltas och vilken betydelse respons har för de forskarstuderandes kunskapsbygge om forskningskommunikation. Ett väntat resultat var att de forskarstuderande skulle utmanas i synen på muntlig forskningskommunikation. Ett mer oväntat resultat var att humor fram träder som en del av kunskapsbygget kring responsgivning av forskningskommunikation. Ett annat överraskande resultat var den betydelse andra forskarstuderandes erfarenheter fick för det egna ethosbyggandet. I två övergripande tema, Kommunikations- mönster utmanas och Meningsfulla möten, presenteras dessa och andra resultatet. Artikeln avslutas med en diskussion om betydelsen av tvär vetenskapliga möten när forskar studerande bygger muntliga ethos.
Det indskrevne publikum i politiske kommentarer
Authors: Bengtsson Mette
Published: July 2023

I denne artikel fremsættes en kritik af kommentargenren i en dansk ­kontekst. Med udgangspunkt i 90 kommentarartikler fra landsdækkende aviser under folketingsvalget i 2011 laves en analyse af genrens ind­skrevne publikum efter Edwin Blacks analyseforskrifter i tre trin: Først ­analyseres materialets væsentligste påstande og stilistiske spor for at ­kunne tegne et billede af det indskrevne publikum. Herefter relateres ­dette billede til forskellige demokratiforståelser og herunder forståelser af borgerrollen, og der argumenteres for, at det diskursive publikumsbillede er sammenfaldende med forståelsen af borgerrollen i et konkurrence­demokrati. Slutteligt gives en moralsk vurdering af publikumskonstruk­tionen, og i forlængelse heraf diskuteres konsekvenserne af denne ud fra to studier, der hver giver et bud på et faktisk publikums reaktion på ­publikumskonstruktionen. Artiklen kan være udgangspunkt for komparative analyser i et skandinavisk retorikmiljø og bidrage til mere generelle diskussioner om massemediernes rolle i et demokrati.
Habermas og strategisk kommunikasjon
Authors: Hoem Iversen Magnus
Published: July 2023

Denne artikkelen er et bidrag til den orientering retorikken som vitenskap har hatt mot samfunnsvitenskapelige og sosialfilosofiske retninger – nærere bestemt mot offentlighetsteori, deliberativt demokrati og enkelte retninger innen sosiologi. Artikkelen tar for seg Habermas språkfilosofi, som formulert i The Theory of Communicative Action (1984). Hovedargumentet i artikkelen er at Habermas’ teorier og kategorier er nyttige for retorikkfaget. De knytter vurderingen av ytringer tettere opp mot toneangivende demokratiteori, i tillegg til å tilby supplerende eller bærende verktøy i de konkrete retoriske analyser. For at teoriene og kategoriene skal bli nyttige, er det imidlertid nødvendig med visse grep og justeringer. Hovedgrepene består i å behandle forholdet mellom konseptene ‘strategisk’ og ‘kommunikativ’ som et glidende kontinuum fremfor en streng dikotomi, å anerkjenne kategorienes iboende normativitet, samt å veksle mellom en deskriptiv og en normativ posisjon. Artikkelen ser disse teoriene i lys av diskusjonen rundt det norske forbudet mot politisk reklamefilm.

Ska vi lära folk att tala?
Authors: Stagnell Alexander
Published: July 2023

Texten ämnar undersöka vad Barbara Cassins omläsning av striden mellan filosoferna och sofisterna har för konsekvenser för den samtida förståelsen av kopplingen mellan Retoriken och det politiska. Via hennes kritik av Platon och Aristoteles utreds därmed effekterna av att konflikten mellan sofistik och filosofi inte främst rör kunskapen (epistemologi/doxologi) utan varat (ontologi/logologi). Med hjälp av begrepp från Lacans ­psykoanalys skrivs sedan grunden för vad ett logologiskt förhållningssätt till det politiska kan innebära fram.
Retorisk historiedidaktikk
Authors: Knutsen Ingunn , Knutsen Ketil
Published: July 2023

Mens begrepet historie viser til fortellinger om fortiden, viser historiedidaktikk til hvordan mennesker samhandler med fortellinger om fortiden og med hvilke konsekvenser. Didaktikken kommer til utrykk gjennom et stort mangfold tekster fra papirtekst til film, hypertekst, fysiske minnesmerker og personlige minner. Tekstene kan innebære komplekse samspill mellom nåtid, fortid og fremtid og mellom lesere, fortellere og forfattere, og grensene mellom disse er ikke alltid er like tydelige. For å kunne undersøke og forstå historiedidaktikk er det derfor ikke tilstrekkelig å bare finne dens betydninger, som i Jörn Rüsens narrative historiedidaktiske teori. Vi må også spørre hvem som gjør hva med historie – og undersøke det performative. I denne artikkelen viser vi hvordan historiedidaktikk kan forstås som retorisk handling med Kenneth Burkes dramatistiske teori og metode.
Krisekommunikation som model for virksomhedsretorik?
Authors: Kjærgaard Rasmussen Rasmus
Published: July 2023

Denne artikel argumenterer for, at aktuelle krisekommunikationsteorier savner et retorisk perspektiv på kriser. De anlægger et organisations-centrisk perspektiv og betragter kriser som apriorisk givne fænomener, hvilket gør dem ude af stand til at belyse, hvordan organisationskommunikation i sig selv konstruerer kriser. Artiklen foreslår at genindskrive retorik i krisekommunikationsfeltet ved hjælp af stasislære og framingteori. Hermed understøttes et syn på både organisationer og kriser som kommunikatvt konstituerede. Ved at introducere CCO-teori (”communication as constitiutive of organizations”) præsenterer artiklen en analytisk ramme, der anskuer kriser som retoriske framingprocesser. Denne gentænkning af krisekommunikationsteori kan samtidig yde et bidrag til en generel teori om virksomhedsretorik.
Making Angry Public Rhetorics Work Better for a Global ‘Us’
Authors: Condit Celeste M.
Published: July 2023

In the twenty-first century, as throughout human history, anger has played a pivotal role in governance and international affairs. This essay contributes to the substantial scholarly literature on public emotion by summarizing an integrative analysis of public anger built both on multi-disciplinary literatures theorizing emotion and upon three case studies surrounding the attacks now commonly labelled “9/11.” Examples from the rhetorics of Osama bin Laden, President George W. Bush, and Susan Sontag illustrate the predispositional complex of anger well, because the elements of that complex are evident among all three rhetorics, despite the dramatic differences in culture, ideology, and positionality of the rhetors from whom they emanate. The essay concludes by urging the development of conditions and rhetorical practices that would enable global anger to serve its valuable adjudicatory functions rather than to reprise endlessly its function of rallying peoples to attack each other.
Nonfictionality, Function, and Salience
Authors: Phelan James
Published: July 2023

Focusing on different treatments of the same nonfictional entity, Huntington’s disease, in two global fictions, Ian McEwan’s Saturday (2005) and Lisa Genova’s Inside the O’Briens (2015), this paper seeks to understand the affective, ethical, and aesthetic dimensions of crucial problematic moments in each. It deploys the concepts of status (fictional, nonfictional, or a blurring of the two), function (how does the particular element contribute to the larger narrative purpose) and salience (how significant is that function for that larger purpose) in order unpack the rhetorical logic of those passages. This unpacking leads to a more positive view of McEwan’s construction of Saturday than the one offered by many of McEwan’s previous critics as well as a general defense of Genova’s construction of Inside the O’Briens. More generally, the essay offers new insights into the interaction of local nonfiction and global fiction.
Slægtskabsreguleringer. Feministisk retsretorik som analyseramme og dens potentiale for at identificere lovens performative effekter
Authors: Kroløkke Charlotte
Published: July 2023

Ufrivillig barnløshed er et efterhånden velkendt fænomen og i Danmark bliver hvert tolvte barn i dag født ved hjælp af assisteret reproduktion. Danmark indtager i dag en nøgleposition både, hvad angår antallet af børn, der fødes efter et besøg på en fertilitetsklinik, og som aktør på det globale marked i sæd og reproduktive teknologier. I artiklen udvikler forfatterne en feministisk retsretorisk analyseramme og belyser, hvordan det danske lovmateriale om adoption og assisteret reproduktion samt Det Etiske Råds redegørelser konstruerer meget forskellige rammefortællinger om ”naturlige”, ”kunstige” og ”monstrøse” måder at få børn på. Afslutningsvis diskuterer forfatterne den feministiske retsretoriske analyserammes potentiale herunder dens evne til at kunne fremanalysere retoriske figurer og metaforer, der (il)legitimerer bestemte typer af slægtskaber, samt dens mulighed for at forholde sig til kønsligestilling i loven.
Thukydides: Pesten i Aten och Perikles epidemiska tal
Authors: Lindqvist Janne , Iordanoglou Dimitrios
Published: July 2023

Pesten kom med kriget. Sommaren år 430 före vår tideräknings början hade Atens befolkning, tillsammans med stora skaror från landsbygden, för­skansat sig innanför stadsmurarna för att söka skydd mot ett anfall från en militärt överlägsen allians under Spartas ledning. Då slog farsoten till, med förödande ­resultat. Uppemot en fjärdedel av invånarna – mellan 75.00 och 100.000 personer – skulle dö i epidemin, många fler insjuknade; protester och oroligheter bröt ut ­(Littmanm 2009; Martinez 2017). Stadens ledning hamnade under stark press, trots att beslutet att gå i krig hade fattats ”demokratiskt”. Det var nödvändigt för det atenska imperiets arkitekt och egentlige ledare, statsmannen Perikles, att tala till ­medborgarna (Tracy 2009; Martin 2016). Det talet publiceras här i en ny svensk översättning.
Orla Lehmanns Casinotale 1848
Authors: Lund Marie
Published: July 2023

Overgangen fra enevælde til demokrati foregik fredeligt i Danmark – det er i hvert fald den almindelige forståelse. Men historieforskning har godtgjort, at denne fortælling er en myte. Opmærksomheden bør i stedet rettes mod en tale, som blev holdt af den liberale politiker Orla Lehmann. I denne tale udlægger Lehmann de seneste efterretninger om de politiske beslutninger i den slesvigske stænderforsamling og advarer om, at slesvigholstenernes oprør kan føre til det danske riges opløsning. Det gør Lehmann på en måde, der skal opildne til hurtig handling, men han gør det uden belæg og mod bedre vidende. Artiklen diskuterer og vurderer på baggrund af en retorisk nærlæsning af argumentation og insinuationer i Orla Lehmanns Casinotale, om det danske demokrati er grundlagt på et retorisk bedrag.
Berørte kroppe: Forsinkede anklager, affekt og afmagt
Authors: Hoff-Clausen Elisabeth
Published: July 2023

Opsigtsvækkende anklager om krænkelser og overgreb, som ligger årtier ­tilbage i tiden, har med metoo-bevægelsen fyldt i den offentlige samtale. Gennem en læsning af et konkret eksempel fra 2018 reflekteres der i artiklen over, hvorfor mange af anklagerne først fremsættes længe efter det hændte. Afsættet for analysen er retsretorik i kombination med en affektteoretisk ­betoning af krop, affekt og følelsers betydning i offentlig retorik og for retorisk agency. Der peges på, hvordan det ikke er ligetil at fremsætte en anklage mod en foruretter, når krop og sind er stærkt berørt. Den forurettede kan, udover at mangle en igangværende samtale med en retorisk anledning og et kollektivt sprog, som faciliterer anklagen, befinde sig i en affektiv tilstand og forståelseskrise, hvor et narrativ om det hændte ikke lader sig konstruere
Karaktermord, angreb og selvanklager omkring Karl Ove Knausgårds Min kamp
Authors: Andersen Kraglund Rikke
Published: July 2023

I denne artikel studeres effekten af den flertydige anklageretorik i og omkring Karl Ove Knausgårds Min kamp 1-6 (2009-11). Romanseriens portrætter af en række navngivne personer og familiemedlemmer vakte en heftig debat om forholdet mellem kunstnerisk frihed og æreskrænkelse, om ansvar, skyld og skam, og igangsatte forhandlinger af kollektive normer og værdier i forbindelse med vidnesbyrd i selvbiografiske romaner. Med en analyse af de retoriske strategier bag familiens anklageskrifter ved udgivelsen, belyses indledningsvis de etiske dilemmaer anklagerne var med til at rejse i den offentlige debat. Dernæst studeres anklagerne i romanserien selv, og artiklen viser, hvorledes der er behov for at med­tænke, hvor forskelligt anklager optræder i og uden for romanens rum, idet den selvbiografiske romangenre etablerer en tvetydig udsigelse, som ikke genfindes i mediernes dækning

Den nakna sanningen
Authors: Bagerius Henric
Published: July 2023

Sommaren 1932 startade Dagbräckning, den första svenska nudisttidskriften, med målet att få människor att sola, bada och gymnastisera nakna. Den följdes snart av Natur och Hälsa och Solvännen som tillsammans med Dagbräckning bidrog till att väcka intresse för den framväxande svenska nudiströrelsen. Ett återkommande inslag i tidskrifterna var omvändelseberättelser där svenska kvinnor och män beskrev hur det gick till när de blev nudister. I den här artikeln analyseras trettiosex omvändelseberättelser från 1930- och 1940-talen, och av dem framgår hur en narrativ struktur hämtad från ett religiöst sammanhang hjälpte nudisterna att förstå sin nya identitet och övertyga andra om nudismens möjligheter. Med Ernest G. Bormanns begrepp retorisk vision och hans teori om symbolisk konvergens som tolkningsram visar artikeln att nudisterna på det här sättet vävde samman sina erfarenheter till en större berättelse om den frihet som väntade dem som valde att leva nakna.
Norsk Omstilling i høyere utdanning som retorisk praksis – en fortolkende kritikk av tillit og agency
Authors: Brinch Iben , Ulvestad Jorun
Published: July 2023

On a winter morning a questionnaire pops up in the inbox of the 1700 staff members at one of the new universities in Norway. Now everyone is supposed to answer questions about the work envi-ronment joining what is called an ‘ARK-survey’. It has been two mer-ges of institutions and a period of accreditation to get the status as university since the last time the staff was asked about the work envi-ronment. “The leader at my unit always acts honestly toward me” one of the questions sounds, expecting you to answer on a scale from 1 to 5. How to answer? The article constitutes an interpretative rhetorical criticism of a cluster of texts that prepared the institution for the sur-vey, the texts that formed the survey and selected texts that were pre-sented to the university board after the survey. The questions we seek to answer concern the rhetorical practices: What forms of rhetorical agency that are to be found? How do the texts and transactions reflect trust between leaders and employees? And how does the ARK-survey as a discursive tool impact a university in transformation?

State of Bicycle Modeling in SUMO
Authors: Roosta Aboozar , Kaths Heather , Barthauer Mirko , Erdmann Jakob , Flötteröd Yun-Pang , Behrisch Michael
Published: July 2023

Microscopic traffic simulation tools provide ever-increasing value in the design and implementation of motor vehicle transport systems. Research and development of automated and intelligent technologies have highlighted the usefulness of simulation tools and development efforts have accelerated in recent years. However, the majority of traffic simulation software is developed with a focus on motor vehicle traffic and has limited capabilities in the simulation of bicycles and other micro-mobility modes. Bicycles, e-bikes and cargo bikes represent a non-negligible modal share in many urban areas and their impact on the operation, efficiency and safety of traffic systems must be considered in any comprehensive study. The Differentiation between different types of micro-mobility modes, including microcars, e-kick scooters, different types of bicycles and other personal mobility devices, has not yet attracted enough attention in the development of simulation software which creates difficulties in including these modes in simulation-based studies. On November 25th, 2022, members of the SUMO team at DLR organized a workshop to assess the state of bicycle simulation in SUMO, identify shortcomings and missing capabilities and prioritize the order in which bicycle traffic related features should be modified or implemented in the future. In this paper, different aspects of simulating bicycle traffic in SUMO are examined and an overview of the results of the workshop discussions is given. Some suggestions for the future development of SUMO emerging from this workshop, are presented as a conclusion.
Analysis and Modelling of Road Traffic Using SUMO to Optimize the Arrival Time of Emergency Vehicles
Authors: Soni Shamli , Weronek Karsten
Published: July 2023

Traffic simulation tools are used by city planners and traffic professionals over the years for modelling and analysis of existing and future infrastructural or policy implementations. There are numerous studies on emergency vehicle (EV) prioritization in cities all over the world, but every area is unique and requires the data collection and simulation to be done separately. In this case, the focus area is the Mörfelder Landstraße in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, one of the busiest streets in this city. Thestudy illustrates demand modelling, simulation and evaluation of a traffic improvement strategy for EVs. Vehicular traffic such as passenger cars and trams are simulated microscopically. To perform accurate traffic simulation, input data quality assurance and cleansing of Master Data is required. Therefore, the data is adapted to reproduce the real-world scenario and transformed into the readable format for the simulation model. Vehicular demand is calibrated by traffic count data provided by the Frankfurt Traffic Department. To model road traffic and road network, origin destination matrices using the Gravity Mathematical Model and Open Street Maps are generated, respectively. This process is time-consuming and requires effort. However, this process is critical to get realistic results. In the next step, the road traffic is simulated using SUMO (Simulation of Urban mobility). Finally, EV relevant key performance indicators (KPIs): total trip time and total delay time are derived from simulations. The real-world scenario is compared with five alternative scenarios. The comparison of the KPIs revealed that the real-world scenario results in longer travel times compared to the EV-prioritization scenario. In the least case, the overall travel times for EV has decreased significantly and, as we know, in the case of EVs, even a few seconds saved could prove crucial for a person in need.
Service Time Improvement Proposition For Insurance Customer Operation At Bpjs Kesehatan West Bandung Office: A Discrete Event Simulation Approach
Authors: Utami Sri Hajarismala Rizka , Wasesa Meditya
Published: July 2023

BPJS Kesehatan is one of the public legal entities in Indonesia and provides public services to the public, one of which is the administration process service and the provision of face-to-face information directly to the nearest BPJS Kesehatan office. The Customer Satisfaction Index is an assessment of whether the services provided by BPJS Kesehatan are in accordance with participants' expectations. To create excellent service for participants, BPJS Kesehatan refers to 5 dimensions of service quality, namely Tangibility, Empathy, Responsiveness, Reliability, and Assurance. One of the face-to-face service problems faced by BPJS Kesehatan West Bandung Office every day is the waiting time and long queues. This problem was even listed on the Customer Satisfaction Index as one of the participants' dissatisfaction points. To find out what causes long queues and the long waiting time for participants, interviews, and observations of conditions in the field are needed. This can be searched in a structured manner using Fishbone Analysis. To help find solutions to these problems, we use Discrete Event Simulation in the Anylogic application to analyze the existing service conditions and find alternative solutions to solve the issue. As a result, we propose several alternative operational scenarios and define the best scenario that can be applied to increase CSI and reduce participant complaints about waiting times and long queues.

Hip strength change induced by overflow ipsilateral to handgrip
Authors: Zhang Kelly , Moretto Guilherme Henrique , Rosa Gustavo Henrique de Mello , Araujo João Eduardo de
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Neurofunctional rehabilitation often employs various approaches to enhance recruitment and muscle strength through overflow, a phenomenon that amplifies the motor response of homologous muscles in the contralateral segment. Overflow has been well documented in the literature, particularly in techniques like FNP and cross-education. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the overflow mechanism in nonhomologous and ipsilateral muscles during an instructed handgrip task. Methods: We recruited 90 subjects of both genders between 18 and 30 years with right upper limb (RUL) motor preference. Each subject was seated with their lower limbs flexed at the hip, knee, and ankle to 90 degrees. We used a lower limb dynamometer to measure baseline strength by having the subjects perform three maximal left hip flexion contractions with 6-second contractions and 10-second intervals. For the second evaluation, the subjects performed three maximal handgrip contractions on a rigid dynamometer, followed by three maximal isometric contractions for left hip flexion (also with 6-second contractions and 10-second intervals). After a 10-minute rest period, we took new measurements of the maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) for both handgrip and hip flexion. We excluded subjects who were unable to produce 70% of their MVIC during testing. We conducted a statistical analysis using a multiple comparisons analysis of variance with a significance level of P < 0.05. Results: We found a decrease in strength between males and females during T3 (post-test) (P = 0.006), and an increase in strength between T3 and BL3 in female subjects (P = 0.045). Conclusion: Our study demonstrated an increase in hip flexor strength in women when subjected to a maximal isometric task with the ipsilateral upper limb.

Introduction: Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, a rare clinical entity, is caused by the reactivation of the varicella zoster virus, which results in inflammation of the geniculate ganglion of the facial nerve. Characterized by the triad: ipsilateral facial paralysis, otalgia and herpetic vesicles in the external ear. Due to the broad symptomatology, which encompasses atypical symptoms and present in several other pathologies, it is often underdiagnosed. Case report: A 62-year-old woman admitted to Hospital Evangélico de Londrina due to paresthesia in the left hemiface, associated with vertigo and severe headache. On physical examination, peripheral facial paralysis on the left and vesicles on the palate and left external ear were observed. AVC protocol exams were requested (normal) and liquor was collected (clear, colorless appearance, 92% lymphocytes). New serologies and magnetic resonance imaging of the skull with contrast were requested. Prescribed acyclovir, prednisone, eye drops and ocular occlusion. The patient evolved with maintenance of headache and otalgia. Prednisone was replaced by intravenous dexamethasone, gabapentin and topical lidocaine were added, and other medications were maintained. Non-reactive requested serologies. Analysis of the herpes simplex virus by polymerase chain reaction > 30. In view of the data, a diagnosis of viral meningitis due to herpes associated with Ramsay Hunt syndrome was diagnosed. Maintained treatment, patient evolved with improvement of the condition. Conclusion: Based on the clinical correlation and unfavorable prognosis, the importance of early identification and treatment lies in order to reduce the time of active disease and neural damage, avoiding possible complications.

Published: July 2023

Case report: A 57-year-old woman was referred to our service after noticing difficulty in coordinating the movements of the right hand. The symptoms occurred after she consumed ayahuasca in a religious ceremony and persisted after the psychedelic effects weaned off. On the first evaluation, she had right hemiataxia and increased blood pressure (200/100 mmHg). The head computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a left basal ganglia hemorrhage. No abnormalities were found on CT angiography. The patient later reported that a few years earlier, she was diagnosed with a hemorrhagic stroke at another hospital, which also happened within a few hours of ayahuasca intake. However, she has not stopped using it monthly since then. Discussion: Ayahuasca is a potent plant-based hallucinogenic brew used traditionally for spiritual and medicinal purposes. The substance responsible for its effects is Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), which is known to be a potent serotonin receptor agonist, especially the 5HT2A. This substance may induce an acute raise in blood pressure and consequently trigger a hemorrhagic stroke. To this date, there are no cases reported of hemorrhagic stroke after using this drug. Conclusion: Although ayahuasca has been associated with spiritual and therapeutic benefits, its potential risks should not be ignored, including serious complications, such as hemorrhagic stroke.

Published: July 2023

Environmental protection is one of the first priorities in the activity of various political courts, be they national, European or global. All these organizations have set goals to limit the negative effects on the environment and to prevent their occurrence in the future. Measures to reduce noise pollution require investments, new materials, new techniques in civil and industrial construction, in machine building, rethinking processes, installations, means and traffic systems and last but not least, a civilized behavior of people among themselves. Therefore, the local community has a great role in combating noise pollution as well as other forms of pollution. It is necessary to find solutions and measures that allow for sustained action both nationally and locally by the competent authorities, in order to reduce the level of pollution due to road traffic, and to provide clean air to the inhabitants of these cities. This objective also supports the preparation of the integration of the Romanian transport system in the transport systems of the European Union, as a basic condition of our country's accession to the EU. The objective of the present research is represented by the study of the negative effects of the transport activity on the natural environment and on the society, by reviewing the existing literature, as well as by carrying out an analysis based on statistical data.

The growth of the urban population, as well as the industrial growth, contributes to the increase of the quantities of generated waste. These can affect the environment. In the European Union, the population has a predominantly urban distribution. For this reason, the article analyzes issues related to municipal waste generated. Failure to use raw materials to the maximum leads to rapid depletion of natural resources. Also, in this situation the amounts of waste can increase. The degree of global warming is also influenced by the way the products are made. Thus, in addition to household waste, municipal waste also includes waste generated by small businesses and institutions. For European Union member states, the article presents an analysis of the degree to which municipal waste is treated.

Published: July 2023

The outlook for the tourism sector remains highly uncertain. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continues to hit hard, with international tourism drastically decreasing in all tourism destinations. Domestic tourism is helping to soften the blow, at least partially, and governments have taken impressive immediate action to recover and strengthen the sector, while protecting jobs and businesses. Many countries are also now developing measures to build a more resilient tourism economy post COVID-19. These include preparing plans to support the sustainable recovery of tourism, promoting the digital transition and move to a greener tourism system, and rethinking tourism for the future. This research also provides insights on post-crisis recovery factors affecting travel behavioral intention and demand.

Authors: Remeșovschi Natalia
Published: July 2023

Luând în considerație importanța pe care o au consumatorii în realizarea obiectivelor companiilor, apare necesitatea monitorizării și identificării stadiului de dezvoltare a relațiilor cu clienții, dar și a nivelului de satisfacție primit. Faptul este determinat de unele probleme nestabilite, neidentificate sau nesoluționate cu care se confruntă consumatorii, în rezultat generându-se un comportament negativ a consumatorilor. În rezultat comportamentul negativ poate influența imaginea companiei, viitoarele relații, precum și promovarea ulterioară pe care o fac consumatorii. Abordând, importanța acestei probleme, precum și factorii care condiționează cel mai des astfel de comportamente negative, constatăm necesitatea implementării sistemelor eficiente privind: mаnаgementul reclаmаţiilоr, care poate reprezenta un element оbiectiv și un instrument eficient în reducerea nemulţumirii și insatisfacției; MRC/CRM(customer relationship management) axat pe gestionarea eficientă și profitabilă a relațiilor cu clienții pe parcursul întregului ciclu de relații; cercetarea comportamentului consumatorului, sub aspectul factorilor și elementelor implicate de natură psihofiziologică (preferințe, gusturi, percepție, atenție, gândire, motivație), și elemente de natură sociologică (obiceiuri, deprinderi, experiențe de viață); evaluarea feed-back-ului consumatorului, dependent de gradul de satisfacție a consumatorilor după ce produsul sau serviciul a fost achiziționat și consumat; folosirea cutiilor cu sugestii atrag atenția amănunțită a fiecărei păreri a consumatorilor în parte, și produc cercetări de marketing instantanee; comunicarea permanentă/call center, este o bună metodă de atenuare a comportamentului negativ având capacitatea de a transmite informația nonstop și de a pune la dispoziția clientului cele mai actuale știri despre produsul/ serviciul acordat și linia fierbinte, venind în ajutorul consumatorului prin respectarea drepturilor lor, soluționarea problemelor în cel mai scurt timp, cu orar non-stop; politica de interacțiune permanentă cu clienții prin educarea, informarea și dezvoltarea conştiinţei şi comportamentului consumatorului, precum și dezvoltarea încrederii consumatorilor. Fiind vaste, aceste acțiuni pot fi realizate atât direct de companii prin intermediul reprezentanților, personalului, dar și prin campaniile de relații cu publicul, cât și prin intermediul MASS MEDIA sau SOCIAL MEDIA.

The development of civilized countries is taking place in the direction of creating an information society. In this regard, it becomes obvious that it is necessary to ensure effective management of informatization tools management-at all stages of their life cycle: it is the effectiveness of management in the field of informatization that largely determines the pace of scientific and technological progress.

The business models of many modern companies are strongly dependent on the applied methods of information technology management (IT). In developed countries, IT management has transformed over the past decade from a business support function to a tool for improving efficiency and (at least in some cases) driving business innovation and digital transformation. This article discusses the issues of information management and its features at audit enterprises.

La verificación de las condiciones de navegabilidad del buque como presupuesto para la prevención de catástrofes derivadas del derrame o vertimiento de hidrocarburos en el mar
Authors: Pezoa Huerta Renato
Published: July 2023

Según la Organización Marítima Internacional, los buques petroleros transportan alrededor de 2.900 millones de toneladas de petróleo crudo y productos derivados del petróleo por mar cada año en todo el mundo. La mayor parte del tiempo, los hidrocarburos se transportan de manera segura y tranquila. No obstante, el desarrollo de la actividad transportadora no está exenta de riesgos que amenacen el éxito de la navegación, poniendo en peligro al buque, la carga de petróleo, y como no al medio ambiente. El presente artículo estudia, analiza, sistematiza y comprende cómo la falta de navegabilidad o «innavegabilidad» del barco, constituye un presupuesto que maximiza la probabilidad de advenimiento de una catástrofe ambiental, por el derrame o vertimiento de hidrocarburos en el mar. Para ello, se determina qué es la navegabilidad, los factores en que se erige el concepto; se analizan las consecuencias de la ausencia, carencia de idoneidad, incompetencia o falta de completitud que, de estar presentes tanto en un aspecto estructural y de técnica naval, como en la vigilancia y control que ejerce el armador del buque petrolero, sobre la tripulación y demás dependientes, podrían asegurar y prevenir la ocurrencia de los riesgos que pueden ser causa eficiente para el derrame o vertimiento de hidrocarburos en el mar.
Determinación de reglas y criterios de justicia ambiental en el ejercicio de las facultades de fiscalización, sanción y cumplimiento de la Superintendencia del Medio Ambiente
Authors: Herve Espejo Dominique , Arias Contreras Franco
Published: July 2023

El trabajo plantea que el diseño regulatorio de ciertos instrumentos contemplados en la Ley Orgánica de la Superintendencia del Medio Ambiente (LOSMA) permite incorporar reglas y criterios de justicia ambiental en su aplicación. Con el objeto de determinar cuáles son los posibles estándares de justicia ambiental aplicables en el ejercicio de las potestades de fiscalización, sanción y cumplimiento ambiental de la Superintendencia del Medio Ambiente (SMA), se realiza un análisis de la normativa y práctica administrativa de esta autoridad ambiental, desde su entrada en vigencia, en relación con los principales instrumentos contemplados en su ley orgánica, haciendo especial énfasis en los programas y subprogramas de fiscalización, los programas de cumplimiento y la sanción ambiental. A continuación, se explica el desarrollo de un estudio empírico sobre la aplicación de estos instrumentos en ciertas comunas que han sido catalogadas como «zonas de sacrificio» (Coronel, Huasco, Tocopilla, Quintero y Puchuncaví) y las principales conclusiones obtenidas en cuanto a la incorporación de este tipo de estándares normativos por la autoridad fiscalizadora y sancionadora. Finalmente, se identifican diversas reglas y criterios de justicia ambiental que son aplicables a la fiscalización, sanción y cumplimiento ambiental, y que se deducen de la investigación efectuada.
