Seasonal Dynamics of Tropical Forest Vegetation in Ngoc Linh Nature Reserve, Vietnam Based on UAV Data
Authors: Dang Hoi Nguyen , Trung Dung Ngo
Published: July 2021

Seasonal dynamics in tropical forests are closely related to the variation in forest canopy gaps. The canopy gaps change continuously in shape and size between the rainy and dry seasons, leading to the variation in the vegetative indicators. To monitor the variation of the canopy gaps, UAVs were used to collect datas in the mentioned tropical forests at an altitude of over 1,000m in Ngoc Linh Nature Reserve, Vietnam with a post-processing image resolution of about 8cm, which allows the detection of relatively small gaps. The analysis results at 10 squares of 1 ha showed a decrease in the area of ​​ canopy gaps from the rainy season in September 2019 to the dry season of May 2020. The mixed broad-leaved or broadleaf forest dominates with a greater variation, when the area of ​​the gaps decreases significantly. The variation in forest canopy gaps and vegetative indicators are closely related to the high differentiation of terrain, the seasonal and the dry season climatic characteristics. The fluctuation of the vegetation cover affects the habitats of the species under the forest canopy such as animals, birds and soil fauna. This is one of the scientific bases that contributes to the management and conservation of flora and fauna biodiversity, especially in mountainous tropical forests such as Ngoc Linh Nature Reserve.
Mil e um mistérios, de António Feliciano de Castilho: uma paródia da literatura de horror
Authors: Pavanelo Luciene Marie
Published: July 2021

Apontado como o precursor da literatura gótica portuguesa, devido à sua balada "A Noite do Castelo" (1836), António Feliciano de Castilho (1800-1875) é também aquele que foi responsável pela "verdadeira sátira ao romance de horror" (Sousa, 1979, p. 59) em Portugal. Pelo fato de Castilho ter entrado na historiografia como poeta, a crítica literária praticamente ignora a publicação de Mil e um Mistérios: romance dos romances, cuja primeira parte foi lançada em 1845. A obra recebeu uma continuação na edição de 1907, publicada pelo seu filho, a partir de um fragmento encontrado entre os manuscritos de Castilho, mas, mesmo assim, permaneceu incompleta. Apesar de inacabado, o romance merece ser estudado por trazer uma faceta praticamente desconhecida de Castilho. Sendo assim, é nosso objetivo apresentar uma análise de Mil e um Mistérios, de forma a enriquecer a compreensão sobre o gênero no Oitocentos português.
Efectividad del desarrollo del autocontrol a través de la Educación Física
Authors: Smith Palacio Eulisis , Bermejo-García S
Published: July 2021

Esta investigación examinó los efectos del Programa Delfos de educación en valores a través del deporte, sobre los comportamientos de autocontrol en escolares de quinto y sexto curso de Educación Primaria Obligatoria. La muestra estuvo formada por estudiantes del Colegio Agustín Rodríguez Sahagún de la Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid con un (n=187) con una edad de entre 11 y 13 años. Se pasó en cuestionario CACIA que mide el autocontrol personal a través de cinco dimensiones. Al grupo experimental se le aplicó el programa de Intervención Educativa en 20 sesiones de iniciación al fútbol sala, cada sesión tuvo una hora de duración. Se encontró resultados significativos en el grupo experimental, en la dimensión retroalimentación personal y autocontrol criterial. El pensamiento de que la práctica deportiva por si misma desarrolla la moralidad y el carácter, que se encuentra en la formación del origen del deporte moderno y el Ideario Olímpico, está lejos de ser evidente. Esto no significa que el potencial de desarrollo mediante el deporte no exista, sino que para que la práctica deportiva tenga logros pedagógicos, debe existir una planificación didáctica que estructure toda una estrategia educativa, que permita el desarrollo personal y social de los discentes. Es decir, el desarrollo psicológico y social se puede obtener, mediante propuestas educativas como la que se presenta en este estudio, siempre y cuando los profesores o entrenadores pongan en juego adecuaciones para el desarrollo personal y social de los participantes.

La educación en Paraguay en tiempos de COVID-19
Authors: Noguera Derlis Alfredo
Published: July 2021

El coronavirus es una realidad que trajo consigo un replanteamiento para cada uno de los habitantes de la tierra. Los proyectos, el trabajo, la economía, nuestra agenda han quedado suspendidos o desaparecieron, esta crisis nos obliga a adoptar otro estilo de vida acorde con los cambios que enfrentamos. Con gran parte de la población mundial forzada a realizar teletrabajo y muchos que se han quedado sin empleo, racionalizamos más los recursos moderando nuestro consumo, obligados a trabajar y a vivir pensando en la salud y en el bienestar de todos los que nos rodean.

El sistema educativo nacional debe responder a un cambio de paradigma en la enseñanza y el desarrollo de las clases, así como en la evaluación de conocimientos y competencias. Los órganos estatales encargados de establecer las políticas educativas deben desarrollar a corto plazo las medidas de contingencia necesarias para garantizar el bienestar de la comunidad educativa en general y a su vez asegurar el acceso a la educación, para lo cual las tecnologías de la información y comunicación se constituyen en un factor clave.

Se necesita la colaboración de todos los sectores educativos, tal como lo indica nuestra carta magna: «La educación es responsabilidad de la sociedad y recae en particular en la familia, en el municipio y en el Estado». Nos encontramos con el desafío de desarrollar la resiliencia necesaria para entender los nuevos retos y adaptarnos a ellos.

El diccionario de la RAE define al historiador con una sencilla fórmula: «Especialista en historia». Mucho más extensa y explícita es la definición de historia a la que nos remite, con múltiples y variadas acepciones; si atendemos a las tres primeras, historia es la «narración y exposición de los acontecimientos pasados y dignos de memoria, sean públicos o privados», pero también lo es la «obra histórica compuesta por un escritor», así como la «disciplina que estudia y narra cronológicamente los acontecimientos pasados».
Just Kidding: Stand-Up, Speech Acts and Slurs
Authors: Alward Peter
Published: July 2021

People respond to moral criticism of their speech by claiming that they were joking. In this paper, I develop a speech act analysis of the humor excuse consisting of a negative stage, in which the speaker denies he or she was making an assertion, and a positive stage, in which the speaker claims she or he was engaged in non-serious/humorous speech instead. This analysis, however, runs afoul of the group identity objection, according to which there is a moral distinction between jokes targeting members of vulnerable groups made by members of those groups and similar jokes made by non-members. In order to avoid this objection, I offer a revision to the speech act analysis that draws upon Perry’s distinction between beliefs and belief-states.
Twenty-First Century Male Elegance Amongst Elegantly-Dressing Polish Males and Self-Declared “Dandies”
Authors: Maciejewski Grzegorz , Lesznik Dawid
Published: July 2021

Dandyism was a thriving philosophical and social movement amongst elegant men of the nineteenth century. The prevailing conviction in the literature on the subject is that the dandy trend began to gradually disappear in the twentieth century, whereas in the new millennium it essentially no longer exists, or at best exists only as a mere shadow of itself. Herein we report a questionnaire study of elegantly-dressing Polish males regarding their behaviour on the fashion market, seeking to gain an better image of this particular market segment and at the same time to identify the features of contemporary dandies and possible connections with the “metro” style. The results indicate that dandyism (at least in the respondents’ opinion) is still a lively and thriving e-consumer community, which clearly differs in terms of certain features from metrosexualism. However, the modern-day “dandies” cannot easily be considered heirs to the ideals of their nineteenth-century counterparts. Our findings, in particular the characterization of twenty-first-century elegant-dressing men in Poland, may be of use to fashion brands in the broader men’s elegance segment.
Marketing, Start-Ups and Innovation: A Framework for Understanding the Possibilities for Harnessing Technological Innovations in Tourism (Based on the Example of the Georgian Tourism Sector and Russian Start-Ups)
Authors: Trzmielak Dariusz Michał , Shonia Devi , Skoneczna Magdalena
Published: July 2021

The travel and tourism industry is one of the largest and fastest-growing sectors in the world. In the case of countries like Georgia, where tourism is a priority sector of the economy, innovation is crucial for a tourism-based development strategy — and this has become particularly important in the post-pandemic realities. This paper proposes a certain framework for understanding the possibilities for harnessing technological innovations in the travel industry (particularly apps and websites). It then considers the specific example of the country of Georgia, outlining the state’s measures meant to foster IT innovation in tourism and also certain moderate successes to date in this respect. Next, the paper looks to Russian tourist-sector start-ups as models for operation that be successfully harnessed in the Georgian tourism industry, examining several such Russian start-ups in closer detail.

Published: July 2021

Early detection and diagnosis of cancer followed by a personalised approach to treatment is a key and can save lives. It has been an important issue in both the medical and social fields. The search for instruments and/or diagnostics tools able to detect cancers at an early stage has led to consideration of the usage of various approaches, such as exhaled air, biomarkers in blood, urine testing as well as imaging techniques. This actual time and everything that is happening around us could be characterised as a strange and very unpredictable time. This comparison could be made not only due to the actual coronavirus situation, but also the same can be noticed in the personalised medicine of the second decade of 21st century — by means of check point inhibitors. The old dogmas, for instance, chemotherapy and metastasis-surgery are being appended with new diagnostic and therapy use of checkpoint inhibitors. What exactly is the checkpoint blockade and how it is working in three tumour modalities: bladder cancer, prostate cancer and renal cancer. Our study group will provide a brief and detailed, guideline-compliant outline. The aim of this review was to provide a summary of the current state of the art of immune therapy as potential treatment of prostate, urinary bladder, and kidney cancer.

The measurement result if expressed without confidence interval estimate it is not complete. Confidence Interval is characterized as uncertainty and is a quantitative indicator of the measurement result quality. Measurement uncertainty is mainly caused by factors such as measuring instrument, operator, workpiece, applied strategy and/or measurement conditions. GPS, a standard defining geometrical specification and product verification, integrates the entire product geometry description and defines uncertainty at each stage. The result is a total uncertainty which is usually significantly greater than measurement uncertainty (sometimes twice greater). This study provides a method for estimating total measurement uncertainty of determining flatness error using coordinate measuring machines (CMM).

Consignment sales are a special case of supply chains, as the products are never the property of the seller, so the distribution logistics network and the logic of the structure of the products are radically different from those of normal supply chains. Another problem is that the products have a shelf life. The inventory mechanism (qmin; qmax) is most often used for the commissioned stocks of companies producing food supplements and when checking the central inventory, i.e. replenishment to the maximum stock level when a certain stock level is reached. There are several factors to consider when filling up commission stocks and reviewing them by period. With the mathematical correlations of these factors, it is possible to distribute the commissioned finished products optimally. The paper deals with this problem.

Presentación. Debate sobre la colonialidad y los feminismos descoloniales en los sures globales
Authors: Mendoza Breny , Ochoa Muñoz Karina
Published: July 2021

El propósito principal de este número especial de Tabula Rasa es expandir el canon descolonial a través de la inclusión de una diversidad de voces en el mundo que apuntan a un descentramiento de Occidente en el terreno ontológico, epistemológico y capitalocénico. La expansión del canon descolonial conlleva no solo pensar en experiencias coloniales que se dan dentro y fuera, antes y después, del colonialismo europeo, sino que requiere de nuestra parte tomar nota de cómo aquellos que piensan fuera del canon descolonial perciben y conciben los discursos de la colonialidad y la descolonialidad que surgen del ámbito latinoamericano. El texto de Shu-mei Shih que abre la discusión es interesante en este sentido porque no solo ofrece una crítica profunda de cómo se ha estudiado el mundo colonial hasta ahora, sobre todo en los intentos de romper con el excepcionalismo europeo desde el punto de vista de la literatura e historia universal, sino que nos demuestra cómo hemos de emprender un estudio del mundo que no caiga en la trampa de sustituir un centro de poder por otro.

Assessing Health Risk For Community Adaptation In Urban Heat Island Area Of Padang City
Authors: Sari Putri Nilam
Published: July 2021

Areas classified as Urban Heat Islands (UHI) have a higher health risk due to climate change. High population activity, increasing population density, and low vegetation cover cause this area to become warmer than its surroundings. From the detection of the spatial pattern, Padang City has nine sub-districts belonging to UHI. In this area, environmental problems often occur due to climate calamities and have an impact on health. Therefore, this study was to determine the classification of public health risks and community adaptation to climate change in urban heat island areas. This research was conducted on 141 households in Koto Tangah sub-district as the large UHI area and highly prone to climate problems. Data collected by questionnaires, observation, and literature study. The risk assessment matrix was used to identify health risk status. The results showed that water pollution, respiratory problems, and diarrheal diseases are classified as high risks. The community needs to adapt to climate change, mainly doing routine physical activities, to increase immunity from many diseases.

Published: July 2021

Marine tourism shapes experiences in tourism in coastal and marine ecosystems. In recent years, its consolidation and exponential growth is a powerful mechanism toward re‑structuring coastal destina‑ tions. At the same time, it triggers a set of socioeconomic, sociocultural and environmental impacts. In this context, the activity has received academic attention from different disciplines and approaches, trying to unravel the different complexities of the model as given throughout the world. In this sense, methodological tools are necessary to produce solid knowledge that encourages a comprehensive analysis of marine tourism, based on the products available and resources as a platform for different uses. This article, based on a diag‑ nosis of marine tourism in the Canary Islands (Spain) suggests a classification of marine tourism products and resources, to clarify the elements that constitute the activity. Furthermore, it provides an analytical and operational framework for future researchers who aim to explore the processes around this reality
Turismo sostenible en empresas turísticas vacacionales. Motivaciones y limitaciones en la implantación de medidas sostenibles en Cataluña
Authors:   Escola Superior de Ciències Social i de l'Empresa (España), Martí Narcís
Published: July 2021

The implementation of sustainable measures in vacational tourism areas has become something of a necessity to ensure their subsistence, but tourism companies seem to have certain difficulties in incor‑ porating them into their organizations. The objective of this article is to analyse what are the motivations and limitations for a tourism company when deciding to implement sustainable measures. For this, the tools proposed by two theories on individual behaviour and values have been used, the Decomposed Theory of Planned Behavior and the Refinement of the Theory of Basic Individual Values, to analyse three tourist brands within the general Catalonia brand platform. The article provides an understanding of the behav‑ iour, beliefs and values of companies and their managers when adopting sustainability measures and detects the motivations and limitations that influence their involvement in the objectives of the destination
Desenvolvimento do turismo no espaço rural como estratégia de reconversão no Brejo paraibano
Authors:   Universidade Federal da Paraíba(Brasil), Josilene Oliveira Ribeiro
Published: July 2021

This article is directed at discussing the process of social reconversion of agricultural hands into small entrepreneurs in the Brejo of Paraíba and at identifying the relationship between this phenomenon and the development of tourism in the municipality of Areia. The question is posed due to the moment of inflection in the agricultural settlers circumstances coincident with the emergence of tourism as an economic activity stimulated by development policies in the Northeast of Brazil. Qualitative research carried out between 2015 and 2016 afforded the valuable ethnographic data included herein. Secondary data, obtained through documentary research and bibliographic review, complement the analysis. The discussion of the results contemplates the story of how the agricultural workers in the Chã de Jardim community have evolved from the second half of the twentieth century through to the present, within the broader context of the widespread and deep transformation of the rural world. The results and conclusions show that the reconversion of the agricultural workers depends upon a change in values with younger more educated workers embracing the discourse of entrepreneurship, and pragmatically pursuing their “dreams”. It was also found that the development of tourism is decisive for the ‘productive conversion’ of the rural territory itself, which ceases to be perceived only as agricultural and becomes a space for leisure and entertainment, a situation that consolidates its perception as complementary to urban territory

Ecotourism, as a community development strategy, seeks to simultaneously achieve conservation and development, but its design does not usually consider the complexity of the local contexts where it is implemented. This study analyzes the role played by the configuration of the local and regional socio‑political context in the development of two ecotourism initiatives in the Zona Maya of Quintana Roo, Mexico. Using qualitative tools, the study compares two ecotourism initiatives. Our results show that the implementation of the ecotourism strategies in the region results in different ecotourism models, even in communities of the same zone. These differences depend mainly on the type of social organisation from which the initiatives originate, which influences their socioeconomic and environmental dynamics. The relevance of ecotourism as a generic conservation and development strategy, the mixed results of its implementation and the importance of the forms of social organisation in its development are discussed

The objective of this article is to present a case study focusing on local development strategies of nautical tourism, currently underway in an inland territory, in the municipality of Avis in the Alentejo region (Portugal). The necessary mobilisation and involvement of the local stakeholders, in the use and valorisation of their endogenous resources toward the construction of an integrated tourist product,in an alternative tourist destination, has been achieved through the application of the world café methodology, which in this case proved to be innovative and fruitful. The results achieved fostered inter‑knowledge and the formation of teams work‑ ing together in a four‑helix process, articulating several local products toward structuring the integrated tourist product – Avis Nautical Station. We have seen how participative methodologies assume a structuring role, critical to success in the development processes. The added value of this article consists in sharing these methodologies toward their incorporation in specific sectors of activity such as tourism and other areas of intervention.

The Mediterranean coastal front has traditionally been a focus of tourism on a national and inter‑ national scale. With regards to the administrative delimitations of the coastline, the situation in the Region of Murcia has been long stagnant, resulting in slower and more unequal processes of modernisation than in other similar regions of Spain. This study is directed at analysing the processes, evolution and causes for this relative divorce between Murcia and the rest of the Mediterranean coastal communities and provinces. A comparison and contrast is made of the various different regional tourist areas in an attempt to ascertain areas of greater strength and the reasons that have led to these being so. The methodology used is quantitative, using the of‑ ficial statistics provided by the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia and the National Institute of Statistics. The main results of this research underline how the Region of Murcia lags behind the rest in terms of tourism, as well as the broad‑ranging inequalities existing between the Murcian coastal municipalities.

An evaluation of the recreational suitability of the certified beaches in Banderas Bay, Mexico, was carried out based on biophysical indicators and perceived values. At the same time, the affinity between the beaches was analysed by common tourism‑adapted components. The results show that the indicatos mark two separate groups that share certain affinity with only three beaches substantially differing from the rest. This evaluation shows coincidences associated with the natural landscape and differences in the availability of infrastructure and services, as well as the level of cleanliness and general quality of hygiene. The present analysis may be used as a trustworthy guide to how to managed tourism activities on the coast, since the meth‑ odologies developed in this research may be extrapolated to all the beaches in Mexico.
Service Quality Satisfaction: Perceptions of Ghanaian Higher Education Students Learning at a Distance

Assessing students’ satisfaction of service quality is vital to educational service providers. This qualitative study hence employed the SERVQUAL Theory to explore the perspectives of 30 distance learning students on the quality of services provided at the University of Ghana Learning Centres. The participants were purposively selected and engaged in in-depth qualitative interviews through a semi-structured interview guide. Our findings revealed varied satisfaction levels with the five dimensions of quality of service: reliability, assurance, responsiveness, tangibility, and empathy. The findings revealed that students’ perceptions of the tangibility and empathy dimensions were negative. We thus advocate leveraging the three dimensions perceived to be satisfying among students while ensuring improvements in the two other dimensions that elicited no satisfaction. Consequently, we offer recommendations framed by UNESCO that may be of interest to providers and managers of distance education programmes in similar learning centres.

Nevus lipomatosus superficialis is a rare form of hamartoma or connective tissue nevus that is characterized by the presence of ectopic adipose tissue within the dermis. They usually present as soft yellowish or skin colored papulonodules with a predilection for the buttocks, upper thigh, and lumbar back. We report a solitary form of nevus lipomatosus superficialis in a 63-year-old woman who presented with a skin colored pedunculated mass. Histopathology showed mature adipocytes in lobules extending to the papillary dermis.

Objectives:

The objectives of the study were: (1) To document the nailfold capillary changes (using a dermoscope) in patients with systemic sclerosis attending a tertiary care center, (2) to study the relation between nailfold capillaroscopic pattern and skin sclerosis assessed by modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS), and (3) to study the relation between nailfold capillaroscopic pattern and organ involvement in systemic sclerosis.

Materials and Methods:

A cross-sectional study was conducted among 40 patients with systemic sclerosis who attended the dermatology outpatient department of a tertiary care center from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2018. Nailfold capillaries were examined with the help of dinolite dermoscope AM4113ZT at 50× and 200× magnification, under polarized light.

Results:

Study participants included 34 (85%) females and 6 males (15%). The nailfold capillaroscopy showed “early scleroderma pattern” in 3 (7.5%) “active pattern” in 28 (70%) and “late pattern” in 9 (22.5%) patients. “Late scleroderma pattern” showed a significant association with disease duration, mRSS, and mean number of organs affected.

Limitations:

The study participants may be over-representing advanced cases since the study was conducted among patients attending a tertiary referral center.

Conclusion:

We found dermoscope to be a useful tool to study the nailfold capillary changes in patients with systemic sclerosis as reported by others. Late scleroderma pattern may serve as an indicator of high mRSS and involvement of more number of organs in systemic sclerosis.
Underwater Park Visitor Center: Its Tasks, Functions, Structure
Authors: Nikolaev Ivan R.
Published: July 2021

Underwater cultural heritage and issues related to its study, preservation and museumification are increasingly emerging in the Russian museological and cultural discourse. Major engineering projects that affect the seabed require underwater archaeological surveys, followed by preservation of underwater artifacts.

The process of underwater cultural heritage preservation and actualization in the coastal zone is increasingly taking the popular approach — creation of underwater parks and routes. The theory of formation of underwater parks as museum-type institutions and the development of opportunities for preserving cultural heritage in the underwater environment attract the attention of subject matter specialists. At the same time, the approaches to organizing the ground structure of these institutions do not receive enough attention from researchers.

This paper aims at forming a structural concept of an underwater park’s visitor center. The article identifies the main studies concerning the theoretical basis of designing underwater parks and forming visitor centers, highlights the possible tasks, and defines the key functions and structural content of an underwater park’s visitor center.

The research is based on Russian and foreign theoretical studies, primarily by authors from the Mediterranean countries. The article considers the design of visitor centers through the prism of mainly Russian works devoted to the creation of visitor centers and museums on the basis of land-based specially protected natural areas.

In conclusion, the article highlights promising areas for further research in relation to underwater parks and the methodology for preserving and updating underwater cultural heritage with their help.
