STUDY OF ELECTROLYTE DISORDERS AS CRITERION-IMPORTANT MARKERS OF ENDOGENOUS INTOXICATION IN PATIENTS WITH ANASTOMOSIS LEAKEGE AGAINST A BACKGROUND OF RESECTION OF THE SMALL INTESTINE
Authors: Tymchenko M. Ye.
Published: July 2020

Summary. The aim of the study was to study the dependence of ion exchange and saturation with iron transferrin on the background of increasing endotoxicosis, depending on the severity of the clinical course of acute small bowel obstruction and peritonitis.

Materials and methods. The research was carried out at the SI «ZIGUS NAMSU» and was based on the analysis of laboratory data of 63 patients with a failure of small intestinal anastomoses who in the future needed one of the options of resections of the segments of the small intestine, which were treated in the clinic from 2016 to 2019. All patients were divided into 3 groups according to the degree of physical severity of the condition on the APACHE II scale. The study was conducted in two stages: the first stage examined the content of zinc, copper and iron ions in the serum of all patients studied, the second stage of the study in patients evaluated the objective indicators of endogenous intoxication on the basis of leukocyte index of intoxication, index of content molecular weight, malonic aldehyde and diene conjugates in serum and iron levels in whole blood, as well as its serum.

Results and Discussion. The study of Fe2+, Zn2+, Cu2+ metabolism in the serum of all patients with inflammatory phenomena of the peritoneum on the background of anastomosis failure revealed significant changes. In the clinical group of patients with small bowel anastomosis, the level of zinc upon admission to the hospital was significantly increased. In the second stage, we conducted a study on the detection of an increase in serum iron content, endogenous intoxication and a decrease in transferrin iron saturation depending on the clinical course of the disease in patients with acute intestinal obstruction and peritonitis and the degree of contamination of the small intestine. The results shown in study indicate that in the studied patients, depending on the severity of the disease there is a progressive decrease in the content of iron in whole blood, along with an increase in its serum level against the background of a significant decrease in iron saturation and increase in objective indicators of endogenous intoxication.

Conclusions. On the basis of the results of the research, we can conclude that the increase of serum iron content with simultaneous decrease of transferrin iron saturation in the studied patients on the background of intensification of endotoxicosis depending on the severity of the condition, considering it as a factor of increasing the aggressiveness of bacterial resistance and flora correlates with the severity of the clinical course, according to which appropriate adequate additional corrective therapy is performed in complex surgery. treatment of patients with a small bowel anastomosis.
Revealed by Water, Hidden in Water
Authors: Mukhopadhyay Anway , Choudry Anuradha
Published: July 2020

This essay explores two basic trajectories of the hydro-epistemology of sacred things in Indic cultures: things revealed by water—the visible gifts of water—and things hidden in water with which we can communicate only indirectly, by touching the water. Unlike Mircea Eliade’s concept of hierophany, this represents a mode of the sacred that cannot be auto-manifest and depends on water for radiating its sacrality. While the sacred things revealed by water—the conch shell, the bana linga, the svarnamukhi shila, the shaligrama shila—are water’s gifts to the Indic religions, there are things that are hidden by water; their hiddenness maintains their secrecy and sacrality. For instance, in certain Sati pithas, the petrified body parts of Goddess Sati are said to remain submerged in water. One can only touch them indirectly, by touching the water that is in touch with the Sati’s body. This article illustrates this two-pronged epistemology of the sacred that is propelled by water in Indic religious cultures.

TANDONIA BOLENSIS N. SP., A NEW SLUG (GASTROPODA: PULMONATA: MILACIDAE) FROM THE ISLAND OF BRAČ (DALMATIA, CROATIA)

Authors: De Mattia Willy , Nardi Gianbattista
Published: July 2020

The genus Tandonia Lessona & Pollonera, 1882 is represented along the Western Balkans by about 13 taxa, most of which  are regional endemics. Recent collecting on the island of Brač (Croatia) has provided a single, fully grown specimen of a totally black slug. A careful investigation of the genital anatomy and body traits, reveal characteristic and unique morphological features which until now have never  been observed in other representatives of the genus. Such results have led to the description of new species. Tandonia bolensis n. sp. is easily distinguishable by virtue of its genital features, the dummy-like penial-atrial papilla, and the long and partially spiral-convoluted, thorny spermatophore.
BIOGEOGRAPHY OF THE HIGH MOUNTAIN LEPIDOPTERA IN THE BALKAN PENINSULA
Authors: Varga Zoltán
Published: July 2020

Balkanic high mountains represent nearly all types of European vertical zonation. The elevation and vegetation character of the timberline and allied vegetation types (scrubs, tall vs short, closed vs. open rupicolous swards) but also the edaphic traits, etc. considerably influence the biogeographical composition of butterfly and moth assemblages. The habitats of the high elevations are populated by several types of mountain species. They belong to five main biogeographical groups: (i) boreo-montane (“Siberian”) species, often represented by isolated, partly differentiated populations mostly in the coniferous forests zones; (ii) arctic-alpine (in majority Eurasiatic!) species represented by isolated, most often taxonomically differentiated populations in alpine zones of highest Balkanic mountains; (iii) alpine (nearly exclusively European!) species represented by isolated, mostly taxonomically differentiated populations in subalpine-alpine zones of Balkanic mountains; (iv) Balkanic-oreal species often with isolated populations (subspecies) also in the Southern or Southwestern Alps and Massif Central, in special cases also Appenines and/or in Southern and Eastern Carpathians, as well; (v) oro-Mediterranean-xeromontane species occurring in the southern Balkanic mountains, being either endemic or represented by differentiated subspecies of western Asiatic species. The most typical biogeographical patterns in butterflies and macro-moths are as follows: (i) close connections of the western Balcanic (Dinaric) populations of alpine and arctic-alpine species with southeastern Alpine ones; (ii) close connections of the eastern Balcanic (Thracian) populations of alpine and arctic-alpine species with southern Carpathian ones; (iii) the “Central Balcanic split” in taxonomic subdivision of several alpine and arctic-alpine species; (iv) the southern limit of distribution of boreo-montane, arctic-alpine and alpine species agrees with the “Adamović-line”, i.e. the southern limit of the alpine type of vertical zonation of vegetation; (v) the northern limit of oro-Mediterranean xeromontane species also well agrees with this important line, since these species are connected with the oro-Mediterranean type of vegetation (partly by food plant specialisations, see: endemic Polyommatina or by rupicolous habitats, as some Noctuinae).

CLIMATE CHANGE AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS TOWARDS GREENER ENVIRONMENT IN THE WORLD
Authors: Pandya Mayuri , Das Binod
Published: July 2020

Climate change is a multi-dimensional global problem. Its causes and impacts are distributed and felt across the International system, surpassing the traditional boundaries and jurisdictions of the states. The complex politics of climate change results from the global economy's interdependence on green house gas emissions. This paper attempts to explore the politics of climate change between developed and developing countries, International relations practice and environment issues in various International conferences. The historical perspective of climate change issues eliberated since Stockholm conference to the latest Paris conference is analysed.

Adaptation, mitigation, finance, technology all these issues are highlighted in the paper. The paper has viewed that the International policy on environment is being shaped by inequality of bargaining power between the North and South. The developing countries under the leadership of India have taken firm position against the developed nations on the issue of green house gas emission, funding and technology, the paper has argued. Towards the end, this paper has focused on possible measures to address the problems of climate change through foreign policy initiatives, trade and investment, adaptation and mitigation.

THE JOURNEY OF TEACHING ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE IN INDIA: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE
Authors: Rajput Soniya
Published: July 2020

India is a land of various hundred languages; commonly spoken languages are Hindi, English, Punjabi, Gujarati and many more. English officially has a position of assistant language, but the fact is that it is one of the most prominent languages in India. Being one of the imperative languages, the use of English has become a necessity in India. It has been given the main importance as children have been taught English right from kinder garden to middle school and higher education. English represents in Indians minds better culture, better education and superior intellect. The use of English language in India was limited before the incursion of the British. Gradually, people started taking interest in learning and teaching English as a second language because of its use in financial, legal, business, corporate and education in India. Further, the future of learning and teaching English is essential for the reason that it is a world
language and universally spoken and written. I believe that English will maintain the lingua franca of the world for next 25-30 years as the numbers of learners are increasing. Thus, the present paper will focus on the journey of teaching and learning English as second language in India emphasizing on its past, present and future.

Published: July 2020

Dental and oral health problems in pregnant women are caused by poor care behavior of dental and oral hygiene as well as the condition of dental and oral hygiene of pregnant women itself. Those can lead to an impact of premature birth and low weight of the baby at birth. Strategies for behavioral change in pregnant women were one achieved through dental and oral hygiene education in the form of counseling along with material delivered that was well received by the pregnant women as the subject of research. The modification of Kuru-Kuru as game model can improve skills, self-reliance and as a media of counseling to pregnant women. The aim of research is to create KuruKuru, a game model, as an effort to improve dental health treatment to pregnant women. Research and Development method (R & D) was adopted with model testing of quasy-experimental one-group pre-test posttest design for this research. OHI-S and the skills of pregnant women are the dependent variables. The expert validation used intra-class correlation coefficient, while for the normality test, it used Shapiro Wilk. In addition, variable of abnormal pregnant women used non-parametric test (Wilcoxon). The result of KuruKuru game model is either relevant or feasible as an effort to improve dental and oral hygiene of pregnant women shown by p-value less than 0.003. This game effectively improves the skills of dental and oral hygiene with pre-test result in 5.92±1.158 and post-test in 9.54±0.613 (p < 0,000) and lowers the score of OHI-S pregnant women with pre-test in 1.211±0.605 and posttest in 0.155±0.275 (p < 0,000). It can be concluded that Kuru-kuru game model is effective as an effort to shape the behavior of pregnant women in improving dental and oral hygiene.
The role of NATO in shaping the global security system. Reflections on the 70th anniversary of the founding of the organization
Authors: Rogozińska Agnieszka
Published: July 2020

NATO has survived until its 70th anniversary, essentially in the same condition as practically every year of its existence. According to commentators and external experts, the Alliance seems to be in a constant crisis, and every new version of the crisis is seen as final and deadly. By contrast, for those who are active internally, NATO seems stronger than ever before - it is engaging in more places than ever before, presenting new initiatives at an unprecedented pace and in ever-longer summit declarations. The problem situation presented in this way allows us to formulate the main research problem: What role does NATO play in shaping the global security system? The research problem formulated in this way consists of detailed problems formulated in the form of questions: 1) What are the current challenges for NATO? 2) What are the current threats to NATO? 3 What is Donald Trump's policy towards NATO? The presentation aims to present an analysis of the role of NATO in ensuring collective security in the context of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the organization. The research process uses methodological methods of scientific cognition, mainly analysis and criticism of literature.
Organizational psychological studies in a county of the Hungarian Police – comparison of two departments
Authors: Tőzsér Erzsébet
Published: July 2020

Organizational psychological studies deal with the assessment and interpretation of psychological processes taking place in an organization. In the organization of the Police, these studies are carried out by answering managerial questions which are composed using empirical experiences and theories of organizational psychology. The present study compares the results of organizational psychological surveys of two rural police departments, with an emphasis on social indicators. It attempts to present how McGregor’s X and Y theory as the management’s approach to their employees affect the working community of the Police. The results clearly indicate that in one department, the management’s approach has a positive, while in the other department, it has a negative effect on the individuals and the whole organization unit. The comparison indicates that the management’s approach can have a significant role in shaping the results of the organizational psychological study. Therefore, it is important to take the management’s approach into consideration when dealing with organizational problems and establishing the organizational human strategy.
Instruction in a holistic approach to discrimination
Authors: Makkos Nándor
Published: July 2020

Administrative activity is present in all walks of life and it has a universal character nowadays. This article has been tabled to draw attention to the discriminatory erosions that sometimes appear as a hiding place in public administration, which may appear as minor deviations in childhood, but may lead to disintegration of organizational unit in adulthood. On the other hand, however, the quality of life of workers is impaired because workers exposed to psychosocial risks show significantly higher levels of health risk than those who are not. The most common symptoms are stress, sleep problems, fatigue and depression (URL1). I have tried to approach the relationship between instruction and discrimination holistically, from the slightest socialization error of man to the most serious crime. I believe that a person's discriminatory behavior is characterized by the inclusion of the milder deviations of a person to the more serious ones. Genocide certainly involves its four milder stages, the physical assault transmission, discrimination, verbal expression, and discriminatory thought. We have drawn attention to the harmful effects of ’invisible’ in its form, but abnormal in its content. Perhaps avoidance is one of the most insidious behaviors of our time, which, by distorting personality in childhood, can put its mark on the daily life and public service of an adult. In the case of discrimination, sanctions of a non-legal nature which undermine the offender's social authority may also be significant, e.g. mocking, exasperation, appearance, speaking, which are more common than legal sanctions and can cause a great deal of torment to the perpetrator and his environment, we need anti-instructional discrimination in the public sector to ensure good public services and well-being of public service employees. In the bureaucratic system, it is precise regulation that can be used to combat discrimination by instruction, because it not only serves to coordinate and fix the best method, but also ensures standardized, equal treatment of individual cases (Gajduschek, 2000, 44.). It is also worth noting that enforcing the prohibition of discrimination, its principles, its loyalty, impartiality, responsibility or professionalism, and the confidence of users of public services in the public service is in the interests of professional administration.

A Quake Quenching the Vela Pulsar
Authors: Bransgrove Ashley , Beloborodov Andrei M. , Levin Yuri
Published: July 2020

The remarkable null pulse coincident with the 2016 glitch in Vela rotation indicates a dynamical event involving the crust and the magnetosphere of the neutron star. We propose that a crustal quake associated with the glitch strongly disturbed the Vela magnetosphere and thus interrupted its radio emission. We present the first global numerical simulations of a neutron starquake. Our code resolves the elasto-dynamics of the entire crust and follows the evolution of Alfvén waves excited in the magnetosphere. We observe Rayleigh surface waves propagating away from the epicenter of the quake, around the circumference of the crust—an instance of the so-called whispering gallery modes. The Rayleigh waves set the initial spatial scale of the magnetospheric disturbance. Once launched, the Aflvén waves bounce in the closed magnetosphere, become de-phased, and generate strong electric currents, capable of igniting electric discharge. Most likely, the discharge floods the magnetosphere with electron–positron plasma, quenching the radio emission. We find that the observed ∼0.2 s disturbance is consistent with the damping time of the crustal waves if the crust is magnetically coupled to the superconducting core of the neutron star. The quake is expected to produce a weak X-ray burst of short duration.
High-z Universe Probed via Lensing by QSOs (HULQ). I. Number Estimates of QSO–QSO and QSO–Galaxy Lenses
Authors: Taak Yoon Chan , Im Myungshin
Published: July 2020

It is unclear how galaxies and their central supermassive black holes coevolve across cosmic time, especially for the nonlocal universe (z ≳ 0.5). The High-z Universe probed via Lensing by QSOs project proposes to utilize quasi-stellar object (QSO) host galaxies acting as gravitational lenses (QSO lenses) to investigate this topic. This paper focuses on the feasibility of this project, that is, whether sufficiently large numbers of QSO lenses are expected to be found in various concurrent and future imaging surveys. We find that ∼440 QSO lenses will reside in the Hyper Suprime-Cam Wide survey (HSC/Wide), which is expected to be the most prolific concurrent survey, with this number being boosted by one to two orders of magnitude (to ∼10,000) with upcoming surveys such as that conducted with the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). We discuss several methods of how to study the redshift evolution of the

relation, which is a standout illustration of the coevolution. In addition, we demonstrate how the intimacy of lensed images to the bright deflector QSO for most systems will affect the detectability of QSO lenses. We estimate that only ∼82 and 900 will be detectable for HSC/Wide and LSST, respectively; the decrease is significant yet still yields an acceptable sample for the main objective. This decrease will be less of a problem for space-based imaging surveys, for their small point-spread function FWHMs will allow detections of lensed images lying relatively close to the deflector QSO, and thus unveil the less massive yet more numerous QSO hosts.

Qualitative Research in Rheumatology: An Overview of Methods and Contributions to Practice and Policy
Authors: Kelly Ayano , Tymms Kathleen , Fallon Kieran , Sumpton Daniel , Tugwell Peter , Tunnicliffe David , Tong Allison
Published: July 2020

Patient-centered care is widely advocated in rheumatology. This involves collaboration among patients, caregivers, and health professionals and is particularly important in chronic rheumatic conditions because the disease and treatment can impair patients’ health and well-being. Qualitative research can systematically generate insights about people’s experiences, beliefs, and attitudes, which patients may not always express in clinical settings. These insights can address complex and challenging areas in rheumatology, such as treatment adherence and transition to adult healthcare services. Despite this, qualitative research comprises 1% of studies published in top-tier rheumatology journals. A better understanding about the effect and role, methods, and rigor of qualitative research is needed. This overview highlights the recent contributions of qualitative research in rheumatology, summarizes the common approaches and methods used, and outlines the key principles to guide appraisal of qualitative studies.
Le général et le particulier : théoriser la noblesse et produire des généalogies en Espagne, en France et en Angleterre au XVII e siècle
Authors: Pollet Camille
Published: July 2020

Opérée par les chercheurs, la séparation de l’étude des opérations généalogiques de celle des pratiques de théorisation de la noblesse a le plus souvent laissé dans l’ombre les multiples liens entretenus par les deux types de production. Cet article, qui concerne les sociétés monarchiques d’Europe de l’Ouest, propose d’abord une typologie de ces interactions : la définition des preuves généalogiques dans les traités généraux sur les élites nobiliaires, la forme généalogique de l’histoire de la noblesse, les théorisations dans le péritexte des nobiliaires ou encore la fréquente identité des théoriciens et des généalogistes. Trois études de cas sont ensuite développées autour des figures de Bernabé Moreno de Vargas, de William Dugdale et de Claude François Ménestrier.
La poétique du sonnet chez le mystique aveugle Jean de Saint-Samson

Si les textes en prose du carmélite aveugle Jean de Saint-Samson (1577-1636) sont assez connus, il n’en va pas de même pour sa production poétique, constituée en particulier de cantiques et n’ayant jusqu’ici fait l’objet que de quelques études dans une perspective d’histoire des idées religieuses. Le présent travail s’intéresse à une partie encore plus méconnue de l’œuvre, les sonnets. À travers cinquante-cinq pièces demeurées manuscrites, le mystique, qui pratiquait aussi la musique, exprime sa vision et ses sentiments religieux dans un style qui bouleverse les règles en vigueur.
Shaping Alcohol Health Literacy: A Systematic Concept Analysis and Review
Authors: Okan Orkan , Rowlands Gill , Sykes Susie , Wills Jane
Published: July 2020

Background:

This study uses an innovative methodology to understand the implications of applying the emerging concept of health literacy to other contexts using the example of alcohol.

Methods:

An evolutionary concept analysis combined with the principles and standards of the systematic review process enables a rigorous analysis of the conceptual representation of alcohol health literacy.

Key Results:

Alcohol health literacy includes a wide range of attributes that encompass many different health literacies beyond simply the capacity to understand alcohol-related harms and use that information in decision-making. Alcohol health literacy empowers people to understand alcohol marketing and messages and how alcohol information is distributed through social networks. It is an outcome of media-related alcohol education, and its consequences include health action skills and realistic expectancies of alcohol.

Discussion:

The focus on health literacy, which emphasizes not only individual skills but also draws attention to the social determinants of alcohol use and how alcohol health literacy is shaped by social networks and interactions, provides important lessons for alcohol health promotion interventions. Health literacy when applied to alcohol includes many different domains and the innovative method used here provides a framework to develop interventions that build health literacy in different contexts.

Published: July 2020

This chapter presents entrepreneurial education as a source of social transformation in relation to the urgent need to adapt to the new modus operandi, influenced by economic and social forces. The goal is to provoke reflections on the theoretical conception of being an entrepreneur, the education, the entrepreneurial activity that drives changes, the growth and the development of the local and global economies based on the analysis of entrepreneurial education in Brazil as a methodic journey through a literature review and critical analysis by the authors, who gather solid experience in the area of education for entrepreneurship. As a result of the study, there is the need for intensive investments which offer entrepreneurial education from basic education, in order to attend the continuous training directed to students, beginner and experienced entrepreneurs, and to individuals in immigration situations.
Promotion of Migrant Entrepreneurship
Authors: Calado Pedro , Couteiro Ana
Published: July 2020

Migration is a dynamic reality in today's global and modern societies, representing challenges and opportunities. Studies show that migrants and refugees are resilient and more likely than non-migrants to start new businesses, although they still encounter obstacles mainly associated with their legal status. The High Commission for Migration (ACM) is a public institute in Portugal responsible for the implementation of public policies for the reception and integration of migrants. Through its Migrant Entrepreneur Support Office (GAEM), ACM promotes a range of initiatives to support migrants and refugees wishing to develop micro-business in Portugal, based primarily on skills development, capacity building, networking, and institutional referral. From the Portuguese experience, this chapter will describe the investment in public measures in this area, demonstrating how the promotion of entrepreneurship is a fundamental dimension for the integration of migrants and how ACM supports migrants and refugees in the development of their entrepreneurial projects.
Gentrifiers Against Gentrification
Authors: Guerreiro Jorge André , Marques João Filipe
Published: July 2020

This chapter presents a case-study of tourism gentrification in a fishing town in Algarve, South Portugal. Olhão is a former industrial city that saw much of its fishing industry disappear since the 1980s. Over the last few years, hundreds of foreigners have moved into its historic centre. This rapid influx of citizens to derelict neighbours mostly comprised of old retirees and few active fishermen prompted a gentrification process. Olhão now faces the threat of mass displacements of its older and most vulnerable citizens, a fact that is worrying the foreigners that criticize the touristification of the city, with rents at historical highs and landlords forcing out the Portuguese residents in order to promote short-term rentals to tourists. The chapter presents the results obtained from an extensive mixed-methods research, ending with some notes about the future of the city and the implications that can be taken from this case.
Perspectives on Community Involvement in the Revitalisation of Cultural and Natural Heritage for Sustainable Tourism
Authors: Agapito Dora , Chan Chung-Shing
Published: July 2020

This chapter explores how local community involvement contributed to reviving cultural and natural heritage as assets for sustaining tourism on a small offshore island in Hong Kong. Yim Tin Tsai is a village established by the Hakka Chan clan and the main economic activity was salt production in the past. After the village became deserted due to villagers' migration, the existing salt fields were revived by the community. This process has increased the interest of visitors to travel to the village to experience the cultural, religious, and natural heritage of the destination. This case study combines in loco observations, interviews with key stakeholders on the island, and consultation of secondary sources. Opportunities and challenges regarding community involvement in tourism and its contribution to the conservation of tangible and intangible heritage assets of this offshore island are discussed.

Authors: Ribeiro Manuel Alector , Kim Yo Han , Woosnam Kyle Maurice
Published: July 2020

The purpose of this study is to examine residents' support for tourism development in South Korea by the lens of social exchange theory and theory of reasoned. Random sampling strategy was used to collect South Koreans residents' opinions about the perceived impacts of tourism and their level of support for tourism development. Data were collected online using a questionnaire a link was sent to residents in South Korean through several social media platforms, and 693 respondents answered the questionnaire. By using regression analysis, the findings showed that residents who perceive positive impacts of tourism more than negative impacts are more likely to support tourism, while those who perceive more negative impacts of tourism are less likely to support tourism. Both personal economic benefits and community attachment were found to be important determinants of residents' perception and support toward tourism. Both theoretical and managerial implications are discussed, as well as the limitations and recommendations for future studies.
A Conceptualization of the Senses, Emotions, and Memories in Memorable Tourism Experiences
Authors: Pedro Rui Mendonça , Mendes Julio , Matos Nelson de , Ascenção Mário Passos
Published: July 2020

This chapter explores a conceptualization of the elements that create a memorable tourism experience – senses, emotions, and memories. A comprehensive and coherent theoretical model is established to explain the complexities involved in the tourism experience creation (tourism experience relational model) and in the memorable tourism experience (conceptual model). The data suggest that, first, the senses developed an important role in the experiential stimuli perception; second, the emotions are fundamental to these experiential stimuli understanding and meaning creation, and third, memory is essential in the codification and storage process and anticipation of meaningful information to future experiences. The conceptual model is based on the five senses (sight, smell, taste, hearing, and touch), three positive emotions (joy, love, and positive surprise), and two memorable elements (recollection and vividness). Future research opportunities in the memorable tourism experience are explored, such as the relation between the sense, emotions, and memories.
The Unfolding Theories on Destination Image, 1990-2020
Authors: Carvalho Fatima Lampreia , Sequeira Bernadete Dias , Wikesjö Magda , Ramos Célia M. Q.
Published: July 2020

This chapter examines a 30-year collection of tourism destination image (TDI) components and scale attributes sourced from tourism and hospitality studies to assess the scientific field at hand. From the 1990s, it was clear that cognitive, affective, and overall (holistic) images were involved in destination image formation. Cognitive psychology is crucial to explain tourists´ behaviour, but tourism studies are not simply a branch of cognitive psychology. This study taps into the multidisciplinary character of destination image. At stake are propositions and theories applicable in tourism such as the theory of self-congruity, self-concept, brand signal theory, destination source credibility, novelty seeking theory, and brand equity theory. The intention of the present chapter is to map its theoretical ground and underlying hypotheses by means of a systematic literature review and point out sub-studied dimensions of TDI.
Electronic Games as a Touristic Promotional Tool
Authors: Esteves Fábia , Brito Pedro Quelhas
Published: July 2020

According to the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), in 2017 tourism had the greatest international growth in seven years, and in 2018, international tourism grew 5% reaching the mark of 1.4 billion, a figure reached two years earlier than predicted. At the same time, in the last 40 years, the video game industry has grown steadily, with games beginning to be seen as one of the primary sources of entertainment. However, there are still few studies analyzing the impact of advertising tourist destinations on digital platforms such as video games. The use of video games in the tourist context may be an inspirational tool, supporting the development of new advertising strategies for tourism marketing. Although the connection between tourism and cinema is widely documented, little research has demonstrated a credible correlation between video games and tourists' attitude towards destinations.

New Business Ideas Incubation Process
Authors: Cunha Jorge , Leite Tiago Resende , Polónia Daniel Ferreira
Published: July 2020

The ever increasing competition in which firms operate at a global scale and the need to shift the type of economic growth have led countries to adopt instruments that give them a competitive advantage and deliver growth based on entrepreneurship and innovation. One instrument is the incubation of new business ideas, where incubators play a relevant role in helping firms to survive and grow during their initial stages. This chapter analyzes and discusses the incubation process in three different types of business incubators in Portugal, describing their modus operandi, the relationship with the incubatees, and the results obtained. The main findings are the three incubators are focused on stimulating entrepreneurship, new business ideas and innovation, and are concerned in being a facilitator agent of the success of those new projects; however, some differences might be seen among these incubators, namely in terms of criteria used to select the new business ideas or projects, the support services provided to the incubatees, the incubation period, and the type of projects supported.
