Published: September 2020

The previous progress and future trend of ecotourism research are undergoing a significant paradigm shift in tourism research following the recent Covid-19 pandemic. The present study introduces a bibliometric review investigating of ten years publication between 2010 and 2020 in journal and proceeding documents. By adopting a bibliometric approach, this article addressed five key information’s of journal and proceeding paper publications: (a) years and volume of publications (b) affiliation contribution (c) source and document type (d) the topic covers and (e) publication and intellectual knowledge. 37 relevant publications in the journal and proceeding paper were included in the study after excluding books, books series, chapter in book, thesis, citation document and several parameters. The trend of research on ecotourism has found a downward trend of productions produced per year, except in 2012. Moreover, marketing is the highest main topic of study.  Such bibliometric analysis findings can be useful to find an opportunity for future study within the ecotourism setting, especially in protected areas such as national parks.

Protective effects of olive oil phenolics oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol against hydrogen peroxide-induced DNA damage in human peripheral lymphocytes
Authors: Zorić Nataša , Kopjar Nevenka , Rodriguez Jadranka Vuković , Tomić Siniša , Kosalec Ivan
Published: September 2020

This study investigates antioxidant capacity and protective effects of phenolic compounds oleuropein (OLP) and hydroxytyrosol (HT), present in olive oil and olive leaves, against H2O2-induced DNA damage in human peripheral lymphocytes. Antioxidant potency was determined using the measurement of radical-scavenging activity (ABTS∙+ assay), ferric reducing power (FRAP assay) and cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC assay). Both substances were found to be potent antioxidant agents due to their free radical-scavenging activities. Antigenotoxic effects of oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol against H2O2-induced damage in human lymphocytes were evaluated in vitro by alkaline comet assay. At tested concentrations (1, 5, 10 µmol L−1), oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol did not induce a significant increase of primary DNA damage in comparison with the negative control. Pretreatment of human lymphocytes with each of the substances for 120 min produced a dose-dependent reduction of primary DNA damage in the tested cell type. Hydroxytyrosol showed a better protective effect against H2O2-induced DNA breaks than oleuropein which could be associated with their free radical-scavenging efficacy.
The use of Hericium erinaceus and Trametes versicolor extracts in supportive treatment in oncology
Authors: Winder Mateusz , Bulska-Będkowska Weronika , Chudek Jerzy
Published: September 2020

Substances available in nature with potential therapeutic effects are the subject of research that raises tremendous hopes for new challenges in medicine. Fungi are the most common organisms in the ecosystem and the most interesting in this respect. This review discusses two species of edible fungi, used for centuries in Eastern natural medicine, with the best-documented effect – Hericium erinaceus (He) and Trametes versicolor (Tv). The results of in vivo and in vitro studies conducted on mice and human cell lines demonstrate immunomodulatory, potentially, anticancer, anti-inflammatory and neuroregenerative effects of substances isolated from these fungi. The substances contained in the extracts of He and Tv seem to have immunomodulatory effects that may support chemotherapy. The use of these extracts is justified stronger than the other supportive treat ments based on supplements.
Investigation of design space for freeze-drying injectable ibuprofen using response surface methodology
Authors: Preskar Maja , Videc Danijel , Vrečer Franc , Gašperlin Mirjana
Published: September 2020

This study explores the use of a statistical model to build a design space for freeze-drying two formulations with ibuprofen. A 2 × 3 factorial experimental design was used to evaluate independent variables (filling volume and annealing time) and responses as residual moisture content, specific surface area and reconstitution time. A statistical model and response surface plots were generated to define the interactions among the selected variables. The models constructed for both formulations suggest that 1 mL of filled volume and no annealing should be used to achieve optimal residual moisture content, specific surface area and reconstitution time. The proposed models were validated with additional experiments, in which the responses observed were mainly in close agreement with the predicted ones. Additionally, the established models demonstrate the reliability of the evaluation procedure in predicting the selected responses.

Authors: Romaniuk Małgorzata , Suswał Konrad , Skałecka Aleksandra , Gromek Maria , Kozłowska Martyna , Krukow Paweł
Published: September 2020

Introduction: Deep Brain Stimulation can directly alter brain activity in a controlled manner and the effect is reversible. The mechanism is that the electrode acts locally on neural activity, which is transferred to monosynchronous and multisynaptic network connections.

Methods: We present studies conducted on a group of patients that show an improvement in mental state after Deep Brain Stimulation.

Material: The diseases we included in our work are: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Eating Disorder, Depression and Bipolar Affective Disorder.

Discussion: The use of deep brain stimulation can inhibit development of acute state of patients and improve both psychiatric features and the time of remission. The results indicate the greatest effectiveness of Deep Brain Stimulation in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders.

Conclusions: Brain stimulation may be a promising therapeutic target in mental illness. In a properly selected location, it can contribute to a significant clinical improvement however further research in this direction is necessary.
My Body Is Rotting: A case report of Cotard’s syndrome in a postpartum woman
Authors: Karakuła Kaja Hanna , Romaniuk Małgorzata , Krupa Karol , Futyma-Jędrzejewska Małgorzata , Juchnowicz Dariusz
Published: September 2020

Introduction: Cotard’s syndrome (CS) is a rare set of psychopathological symptoms, the main symptom of which is nihilistic delusions concerning the negation of the existence of internal organs or the entire body

Aim, material and methodology: The aim of the study is to present a case of a patient treated for postpartum depression who developed Cotard’s syndrome. The patient’s symptoms began immediately after her daughter. The clinical picture was dominated by anxiety and apathy, nihilistic delusions about the atrophy of the urethra and other lower abdominal organs, and olfactory hallucinations - she could smell rot.

Discussion: The available literature on Cotard’s Syndrome does not allow us to indicate a certain reason for its development. Perhaps the birth of the first child - the woman doubted herself as a mother, she was afraid that she would hurt the cause of the disorders observed and described by us was transient ischemia of the CNS during delivery.

Conclusions: Cotard’s syndrome can develop in the course of many mental and somatoform disorders. The described case is, to our knowledge, the first description of Cotard’s Syndrome in the deprivation period. Difficulties in establishing the etiopathogenesis and pathophysiology of Cotard’s Syndrome translate into therapeutic problems. It has been suggested that the treatment of the underlying disorder on the basis of which CS is developed remains the most effective method of therapy.
The effect of trial periods in employment on firm hiring behavior
Authors: Sin Isabelle , Chappell Nathan
Published: September 2020

Recent changes in New Zealand law decreased the cost of dismissing employees within their first 3 months with an employer, with the aim of encouraging firms to increase hiring by reducing the associated risk. We use monthly linked employer–employee data and exploit the staggered introduction of the policy to estimate its effect on hiring. We find that the policy had little effect on the number of hires, the hiring of jobseekers of unknown quality, or the stability of employment. Our results suggest that policies that temporarily lower dismissal costs do not necessarily increase firm hiring.
Students’ leisure consumption patterns in cities: Three-dimensional pictures from Lodz and Turin
Authors: Zasina Jakub
Published: September 2020

The research conducted relates to university students’ leisure practices in urban settings. A three-dimensional framework to picture and analyse students’ leisure, focusing on its temporal, economic and spatial dimensions, is proposed. The analysis is based on empirical evidence from two European cities, namely Lodz, Poland and Turin, Italy. First, the findings show that students’ leisure consumption goes beyond visiting music and disco clubs, and it is oriented towards meeting at home, visiting pubs and cafés, and also shopping for non-daily products. Secondly, the geographies of the majority of students’ leisure activities do not spatially overlap with the places of their education and accommodation. Thirdly, the data obtained on students’ leisure consumption in Lodz and Turin reveal many similarities, despite the contextual differences between the two cities.

Authors: Dharani Kumar S. , Sendhil Kumar S. , Arun Kumar K.
Published: September 2020

Vehicle suspension plays a vital role in maintaining the center of gravity to achieve perfect balancing of the vehicle to provide the comfortable ride. While designing the suspension system of automobile, vibration is the main aspect to be considered. This paper aims to analyze the automobile front and rear suspension for a four wheeler using analytical and numerical approach. Existing details of the suspension is collected using the concept of reverse engineering. Natural and forced frequency of the front and rear suspension system is calculated theoretically based on the collected data's. The natural frequency and forced frequency is numerically computed for front and rear suspension. The amplitude of vibration is reduced by replacing the spring material and its forced frequency is reduced by 1.18 % and 1.56 % for front and rear suspension system respectively. This result reveals that low carbon steel has ability to reduce the forcing frequency and can produce comfort ride.
Position Control of a Pneumatic Actuator Under Varying External Force
Authors: Zisser Eddie , Sintov Avishai , Shapiro Amir , Riemer Raziel
Published: September 2020

In this paper a high accuracy position control strategy for a pneumatic actuation system subjected to a varying external force is proposed. A novel approach for the mathematical modeling of the pneumatic actuator, based on energy methods, is presented. The Lagrangian is derived from combining the kinetic and potential energies, leading to formulation of the Euler-Lagrange equation of motion. The nonlinear backstepping method is applied to derive the control law, and the derivative of the potential energy is used as the controlled parameter. Experimental results show that tracking a sine wave of 0.1m magnitude produces a maximum error of ±0.008m while the actuator is subjected to a time varying external force with a magnitude ranging from 570N to 1150N.

Published: September 2020

Herein, we are reporting, for the first time, a microwave-assisted synthesis of lead iodide (PbI2) nanosheets (NSs) with codoping of Zn and Mn, confirmed by SEM/EDX. In the co-doping Mn concentration was kept at a constant level (i.e. 15 %) while Zn concentration was varied from 1 wt.% to 10 wt.%. The morphological analysis confirming presence of the dopant was done through SEM/EDX. The single phase and polytypic nature of NSs were established by XRD and FT-Raman examinations. Homogeneous doping of Mn and Zn in prepared PbI2 NSs was confirmed by SEM mapping analysis. The dielectric and electrical properties were measured by preparing a compact pellet of NSs at 49820 Pa pressure. The dielectric constant and electrical conductivity were enhanced by Zn:Mn co-doping in PbI2. The radiation activity was tested by cesium-137 (137Cs) radioactive source and its increase resulting from the doping was observed. The enhanced properties suggest that the prepared NSs may be useful in electro-optic and radiation detection device applications.

D/HH ECA are the most satisfied in their lives equally with their sport participation, social relations, physical health and the level of independence together with general health. D/HH RA reported the highest satisfaction with sport participation, social relations and with physical health and the level of independence. Position of sport is in ECA and RA lives is the priority number one as well as the satisfaction with other QOLDs as social relations, physical health and level of independence. The position of sport participation in D/HH NA among the QOLDs was interestingly in the second place in the order together with physical health and level of independence domain. Inclusive participation in sport from the earliest age of D/HH children together with able-bodied peers should help better understand mutual communication. Than D/HH people would remain in regular sport participation in later life and so S-QOL among D/HH minority population would be significantly increased.
Participation in outdoor recreational activities and cultural identity in Australia: An exploratory qualitative study
Authors: Maniam Vegneskumar , Brown Russel
Published: September 2020

This paper focuses on personal statements written by 23 Year 11 students about what outdoor recreational activities they participated in and their sense of cultural identity in the culturally plural context of Australia.. A sociological approach of inductive analysis of their comments was employed to investigate the extent to which those of culturally diverse identities were actually participating in outdoor recreational activities. The respondents came from six Adelaide co-educational secondary schools which agreed to participate in the study. The responses given to the guideline questions provided evidence of participation in twelve different outdoor recreational activities, some involving individual pursuits and others group activities. Twelve students identified themselves as ‘mainstream Australian’, while eight claimed identities linked to other European and Asian cultural groups and three reported no sense of cultural identification. The evidence from this exploratory study was that those of culturally diverse identities were actually participating in outdoor recreational activities. However, they were more likely to be involved in individual rather than group activities. Furthermore they preferred land-based activities to those requiring water skills. The paper discusses the significance of the findings, implications for making future initiatives and policies in outdoor recreational activities more inclusive, as well as directions for further research.
An Evangelical Protestant’s Reflections on Roman Catholic Mariology
Authors: Arbour Benjamin H.
Published: September 2020

I count myself privileged to respond to Kenneth Collins and Jerry Walls recent book on Roman Catholicism. I live in Fort Worth, TX, and I am a member of Wedgwood Baptist Church, which is one of more than 40,000 churches that together comprise the Southern Baptist Convention. I mention this so readers will know that my comments come from a conservative Evangelical Protestant perspective, and my thinking stems from a tradition that is decidedly not Roman Catholic. Having said this, I’m much more sympathetic to Roman Catholicism than a great many Evangelicals, including Collins and Walls. I offer my criticisms of Rome, but I ask that readers not interpret me as someone who denies that the Roman Catholic Church counts as a Christian institution. In an effort to show good faith on this front, allow me to offer some defenses of Roman Catholicism against what I take to be over the top criticisms from some Protestant Evangelicals.

Published: September 2020

The three religious communities in Ekasari Village come from a number of regencies in Bali. Only a small proportion of its members come from outside the island. They came in different time periods at the beginning of the 20th century (1930) and then formed their own communities based on religion in accordance with their respective histories. Even though they are separated in religion, administratively they are an area in the village office. The existence of these three communities is colored by identity struggles so it is interesting to be further investigated in cultural studies. The purpose of this study is (1) to understand the form of identity struggles that occur in Ekasari village, (2) understanding the ideology that works behind the identity struggle and (3) analyzing the implications of this identity struggle. This research approach uses qualitative analysis methods. Data collection techniques carried out by in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis. Based on this research method it is found that there are certain ideologies that cause identity struggles found in the dynamics of religious, cultural, political and economic life of the people. The implication is that each religious community strives to fight for and maintain its identity while still trying to build communication through existing means.

ЛІНГВІСТИКА: НАУКА – ДИДАКТИКА – ФІЛОСОФІЯ МОВИ – МЕТОДОЛОГІЯ (ДИСКУРСИВНО-КОМУНІКАТИВНИЙ АСПЕКТ ПРОБЛЕМИ)
Authors: Просяник Оксана
Published: September 2020

У статті порушено проблему делімітації понять лінгвістика як наука, лінгводидактика, філософія мови та лінгвістична методологія. Метою статті є здійснити спробу визначення меж між власне лінгвістичною наукою, практикою використання лінгвістичних знань, зокрема в академічній сфері, та філософією мови, а також визначити місце лінгвістичної методології у системі цих розрізнень. Акцент робиться на прагмафункціональній специфіці цих форм інтелектуальної діяльності. Крім базової прагматики, відмінність між власне науковою та утилітарно-практичною інформацією виникає тоді, коли їх аналіз здійснюється з огляду на структуру соціалізації інформації та використовуваної у процесі їх створення дискурсивної стратегії. Окреслюючи специфіку наукового тексту й наукової інформації, авторка звертає увагу на відмінність наукової інформації від філософсько-світоглядної. Наголошується на важливості методології для тих наук, об’єкт яких не є безпосередньо емпірично даним, до яких належить мовознавство. На дискурсивно-комунікативних підставах окреслено специфіку наукового тексту й наукової інформації різного типу.
Why we should invest further in the development of internal combustion engines for road applications
Authors: Lešnik Luka , Kegl Breda , Torres-Jiménez Eloísa , Cruz-Peragón Fernando
Published: September 2020

The majority of on-road vehicles today are powered by internal combustion engines, which are, in most cases, burning petroleum-derived liquid fuels mixed with bio-components. The power to weight ratio of internal combustion engines combined with the high energy content of conventional fuels, which can be refilled easily in matter of minutes, makes them ideal for all kinds of road transportation. Since the introduction of EURO emissions norms, the emissions from the Transport sector in the European Union have undergone significant reduction. There are several alternatives to fossil fuels with similar properties, which can replace their usage in the Transport sector. The main focus of research in recent decades has been on biofuels, which can be produced from several sources. The production of biofuels is usually energy more intensive than production of fossil fuels, but their usage can contribute to emission reduction in the Transport sector. In recent years, a lot of effort was also put into promotion of electric vehicles as zero emissions vehicles. This statement should be reconsidered, since the greenhouse impact of electrical vehicles is not negligible. Conversely, in some cases, an electrical vehicle can have an even higher emission impact than modern vehicles with sophisticated internal combustion engines. This is characteristic for countries where the majority of the electricity is produced in coal power plants. With the decrease of greenhouse gas emissions in the Electricity Production sector, and with the increase of battery capacity, the role of electric vehicles in the Transport sector will probably increase. Despite significant research and financial investments in electric vehicles development, the transport sector in near future will be mostly powered by internal combustion engines and petroleum-derived liquid fuels. The amount of pollution from transport sector will be further regulated with stricter emission norms combined with smaller amount of alternative fuel usage.
Alfabetização e letramento: um olhar para as teorias e práticas
Authors: Luiz Márcia Michele Justiniano , Silva Patrícia Micarla Guedes da
Published: September 2020

Nesse trabalho, resenhamos a conferência ministrada pela professora e pesquisadora Magda Soares, intitulada Alfabetização e letramento: teorias e práticas, que aconteceu em 31 de julho de 2020, como parte do ciclo de conferências promovido pela Abralin Ao Vivo. Na oportunidade, Soares discorre sobre o cenário de dificuldades em que se encontra o processo de alfabetização e letramento, ao tomar como discurso crível a existência de um único método para nortear o “como ensinar” . Entretanto, a pesquisadora defende que existem métodos no plural, e são eles que dão égide à compreensão do processo de alfabetização e letramento. No tocante aos objetos, a orientação é considerar a aprendizagem cognitiva e linguística da criança, ou seja, deve-se levar em conta a forma como ela aprende.
