Beyond the Smile: The Infrapolitics of the Host in Volunteer Tourism
Authors: Benali Amira , Munar Ana María , Adu-Ampong Emmanuel Akwasi
Published: November 2023

Central to the volunteer tourism experience is the encounter with the host community. Much of the existing literature privileges the voices of volunteers and organizations, with the perspectives of the local communities poorly represented. This study on the host–guest relationships
of orphanage volunteer tourism in Nepal challenges the understanding of the stable and hierarchical configuration of power. It reflects on the multiplicity and particularity of political action and how this action is not only found in the grand narratives of historical social change, but often
unfolds in the small, fragile, and repetitive actions of touristic daily lives. By focusing on the acts of performing volunteer tourism, this article questions the victimization of those who are at the edges of traditional power structures.
Not Tourism Worldmaking: A Critical Dialogue with Hollinshead and Vellah on Post-Covid-19 Sensible Entanglements
Authors: Tzanelli Rodanthi
Published: November 2023

Hollinshead proclaimed tourism worldmaking as the creative/imaginative and often false/faux processes that management agencies and mediating bodies use to favor particular representations of places and people. While this remains valid at an organizational level, the COVID-19 pandemic
has radically (and maybe also hopefully) changed the very regimes of sensory apprehension on which tourism is based, thus also suggesting that we rethink the worldmaking aspects of its postindustrial creation (rather than production and consumption chains). Considering some recent
discussions on what may happen to tourism after the end of the pandemic I claim that: 1) we should begin by reassessing the realm of the sensible, 2) talk more about “travel worldmaking”, and 3) reconsider the centrality of the traveler’s emotional work during
world travels. The thesis develops at the intersection of the “must” (urgency to sustain), the “ought” (call to respect), and the “desire” (drive to enjoy). It calls for a reassessment of worldmaking agency as a structured form of action, which gestures
towards a durable change in sensible entanglements between humans and the world. I engage in a critical collegial dialogue with Hollinshead and Vellah’s thesis that tourism as a postcolonial or postindustrial moment per se contributes to postidentity. Instead, I argue that after the
COVID-19 event (among other viral worldmaking events threatening to eliminate humanity), world travelers resort to what is deemed accessible through their sensory capabilities within structured conditions. Tourism is thus also reimagined at a sensible level separately from the organizational/institutional
processes that Hollinshead and Vellah placed center stage in their thesis.
Comprehending The Concept Of Comparison In Early Childhood Through Block Games
Authors: Wedani Putu , Suyanta I Wayan
Published: November 2023

Early childhood was the most crucial age in obtaining an education. In Early Childhood Education (PAUD), six development aspects need to be considered by the teacher. Those aspects included NAM, cognitive, physical motor, language, social-emotional, and art. These developments could stimulate various activities. Education in early childhood is not only about academic skills, but teachers must be able to develop children’s creativity. One of the crucial development aspects was cognitive. Children’s cognitive development could stimulate through various activities, including comparison ability. Comparison ability was an activity or comprehending comparison, both in the form of images and concrete objects. Comparison is one of the activities given to children to stimulate cognitive development. However, judging from the phenomenon in the field, the lack of teacher creativity in utilizing APE (Educational Game Tools) made the children less comprehend the concept of comparison. So, it was provided solutions by researching and comprehending the concept of comparison through block games. This study aimed to provide comprehension to B group students at Kumara Sari 1 Penarungan Kindergarten regarding the concept of comparison in early childhood through block games, as well as improving the creativity of the students and teachers. The block games aimed to develop cognitive and physical motor skills aspects in early childhood. This research was qualitative research with the model of Miles and Huberman. In this model, there were several stages conducted, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion (verification). Qualitative research must be conducted directly so that researchers can find the needed data. The data collection techniques used by researchers were observation, interviews, and documentation. This study’s primary informants or respondents were B group students, then B group class teachers and school principals. The results of this study stated that there was an improvement in the B group student comprehension at Kumara Sari I Penarungan Kindergarten regarding the concept of comparison through block games and increasing the creativity the students possessed. So, the block games could be used by the teachers to improve children’s comprehension of comparison abilities or the ability to compare objects such as concrete objects, pictures, and videos. In addition, the game tools could be used to improve students’ creativity.
Micro-Inclusions in Corundum from Puesto La Peña Complex Ouachitites, Mendoza, Argentina: A Window to the Mantle
Authors: Zappettini Eduardo O. , Santos João O.S.
Published: November 2023

Corundum xenocrysts from ouachititic dikes related to the ultrapotassic Puesto La Peña Complex, Mendoza, Argentina, contain inclusions of oxides, silicides, and silicates. Oxides identified are hibonite, carmeltazite, and as yet unnamed minerals consisting of ZrTiO3, (Al,Ti,Zr) oxide, and (Mn,REE) oxide. An unnamed Ti2(Mn,Fe)4Si5 phase was also recognized. Silicates include wodegongjieite and grossmanite. All minerals are enriched in rare earth elements. The formation of these mineral inclusions under extreme P-T conditions would have occurred in the primeval Earth, preserved in the lithospheric mantle and protected from oxidation by crystallization of corundum through the introduction of mantle-derived magma-transported fluids. The corundum crystals would have been transported by a rising plume in a back-arc extensional setting during the Miocene and incorporated as xenocrysts in an alkaline ouachititic magma, conferring its peraluminous signature.

This study was designed to examine student records and the effective management of public secondary schools in the South West and Littoral Regions of Cameroon. The study was guided by two objectives which examine the impact of students’ admission files and students’ attendance registers on the effective management of secondary schools. This is supported by the system theory by Bertalanffy (1968) seeorganizations as interdependent and interrelated where there is constant interaction among the members of the organization may be very useful to this study. This theory is relevant to this study as it shows that students’ record keeping in relation to school management should not be treated as an independent aspect of school management but, it should be treated with needed attention to the overall management of the school system. The Triangulation research method specifically the descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. The instruments use for data collection were a questionnaire (closed ended questions) for academic staff (teachers) and an interview guide for administrators (principals and bursars). The sample for this study consisted of 302 teachers and 24 principals/bursar. The proportionate stratified sampling and purposive sampling techniques was adopted for the study. Data from close ended questions was analysed using SPSS 23.0, with the aid of descriptive and inferential statistical tools while the interview was analysed thematically. The Spearman’s rho was used to test the research hypotheses formulated for the study. Findings reviled that students’ admission files play a role on the effective management of secondary schools and that students’ attendance registers play a role on the effective management of secondary schools. Hypothetically, there is a positive significant, relationship between students’ records keeping and the effective management of secondary schools with (R-value =0.129*, p-value < .025 < 0.05). The positive sign of the correlation value implies that the management of students’ records will contribute to a certain extent in the effective management of secondary schools. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that students’ records especially admission files if completely compiled immediately at the beginning of the school year may be of great impact to the records management system of the school and effective management of the school.

This study was designed to examine planning of school meetings as a correlate to principals’ administrative effectiveness in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study was guided by two objectives which examine the relationship between planning school g meeting goals and principals’ administrative effectiveness and the benefits of planning school meetings on principals’ administrative effectiveness. This is supported by the goal setting theory. The descriptive survey research design was used for the study which allowed the researcher to utilize both qualitative and quantitative data. The population of the study comprises Secondary Schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The target population constituted 192 secondary Schools; that is public, confessional and lay private secondary schools in Fako, Manyu Meme and Ndian division in the South West Region of Cameroon. The sample population for the study was made up of 132 principals. Both the stratified and purposive sampling technique was used for the study. The instrument use for data collection was a questionnaire (closed and open ended questions). Data from the close ended questions were analysed using SPSS 23.0, with the aid of descriptive and inferential statistical tools while open ended question were analysed thematically. The Spearman’s rho was used to test the research hypotheses formulated in the study. Majority 76.0% of principals accepted to carry out adequate planning of school meeting goals and a majority 81.1% of principals accepted that planning school meetings goal is of benefit to the principal. The hypothesis statistics showed that there is a significant, positive and moderate relationship between planning of school meetings by principals and administrative effectiveness (R-value=0.425**, p-value= 0.000< 0.05). The positive nature of correlation value implies that principals’ administrative effectiveness is more likely to increase when they adequately plan for school meetings. In addition to existing training programs of school principals, more programs should be redesigned to meet the needs of principals and to also train them on how to effectively plan and manage school meetings to foster trust and confidence of the society as well as administrative effectiveness.

Published: November 2023

Background and Objectives. Urothelial carcinoma of the bladder is more common than urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract. Carcinoma of the bladder is the tenth most common cancer in the world, with 570,000 new cases and 213,000 deaths annually. Men are significantly more likely than women to develop bladder cancer, with an incidence of 9.5 per 100,000 and a mortality of 3.3 per 100,000, which are rates approximately four times those seen among women globally. Clinicopathological profiling is highly significant in bladder carcinoma because the majority of specimens are received through TURBT. Materials and Methods. This observational descriptive study takes a retrospective approach. The population of this study consists of paraffin blocks obtained from biopsy, transurethral resection of bladder tumor, and cystectomy that were used to diagnose urothelial carcinoma of the bladder through histopathological analysis in the Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital between January 2018 and December 2022. The demographic and histopathological data were taken from the patients’ medical records. Results. The majority of patients were men (88%). The average age of the patients was 58.65 years, with a range of 21–80 years and peak incidence occurring at 51–60 years (39%). The procedure most frequently employed was TURBT (68.48%), and squamous differentiation was the most frequent histologic finding (87.5%). The most common type of urothelial carcinoma of the bladder found on urine cytopathology examination was negative for high-grade urothelial carcinoma (81%). Conclusions. The clinicopathological profile is very important in determining the prognostic factor in urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. Most patients herein were men in the age group of 51–60 years. The procedure most frequently employed was TURBT. Most tumors comprised urothelial carcinoma with squamous differentiation, and the majority was negative for high-grade urothelial carcinoma on urine cytopathological examination.

Published: November 2023

Individuals with disabilities are among the most disadvantaged in many communities. There are pieces of evidence that individuals with disabilities across the globe face distinctive obstacles when accessing healthcare facilities, and have worse health outcomes than people without disabilities. The purpose of the study was to explore access to healthcare services by students at Savelugu School for the Deaf in the Savelugu Municipality in Northern Region, Ghana. Purposive sampling was used to select fourteen (14) students for the study, five (5) girls and nine (9) boys. Data for the study was gathered through face-to-face in-depth interviews using semi- structured interview guide. Thematic analysis was performed on the interview data after it had been transcribed, coded, and analyzed. The analysis of the data showed that the most significant obstacles to students’ access to healthcare services were communication barriers. Participants were optimistic that when provisions like sign language use by healthcare providers and other health workers as well as the use of interpreters are made available at various health facilities, access to healthcare would improve. Based on the findings, the study recommended that teachers in the school should encourage students to visit approved healthcare facilities for healthcare services instead of visiting native doctors and prayer camps for treatment. The Ministry of Health (MoH) in collaboration with other stakeholders should introduce sign language education in the curriculum of health training institutions so health practitioners can properly assist persons with hearing disability to access proper health care. This study adds to the existing literature on challenges faced by persons with disabilities in accessing healthcare across Ghana and the globe.

Published: November 2023

Aviation is rapidly expanding and recovering from the pandemic impact driven by the experience economy. This is particularly subject to interfaces such as the aircraft seats, which are getting intense attention as a differentiator in the cabin. The focal point of this paper is to assess and convert customer requirements into what must be done for an optimum aircraft seat. To achieve this, a 2-step analytic hierarchy process and quality function deployment (AHP-QFD) methodology was successfully applied, consolidating product quality characteristics. Then, it leverages a novel scoring method of interdependencies to isolate dependable design variables. Consequently, safety, weight, and durability scored maximum, emphasizing backrest design and alternative composite materials, while test infrastructure was determined as a critical investment component. Furthermore, it is shown how AHP-QFD can be used for product strategy and strategic portfolio management of R&D projects.

Published: November 2023

We present new angular diameter measurements for 33 stars from the Navy Precision Optical Interferometer, reaching uncertainties on the limb-darkened diameter of 2% or less for 21 targets. We also determined the physical radius, bolometric flux, luminosity, and effective temperature for each star. Our sample is a mix of giant, subgiant, and dwarf stars, and span spectral classes from mid-A to to mid-K. We combined these 33 stars with samples from previous publications to analyze how the NPOI diameters compare to those obtained using other means, namely (V − K) color, the JMMC Stellar Diameters Catalog, and Gaia predictions.
Hot Jupiters from Disruption of Resonant Chains in Postdisk Evolution
Authors: Wu Dong-Hong , He Ying
Published: November 2023

The formation of hot Jupiters has been a subject of interest in the field of exoplanet science. According to conventional scenarios, these gas giants are believed to form beyond the snow line and subsequently migrate inward. Although the early formation history of hot Jupiters is not well understood, they may emerge in resonant chains as a result of disk migration. Here we study the formation of hot Jupiters via the disruption of resonant chains after the gas disk disappears. We perform N-body simulations on planetary systems consisting of one gas giant and several super-Earths. The initial configuration involves all neighboring planet pairs being in a 3:2 mean motion resonance. We track the evolution of these resonant chains after the gas disk has vanished. Our results reveal that the resonant chains are prone to instability following the dispersal of the gas disk, with more than 80% of instabilities occurring within 3 million years. Only approximately 4% of resonant chains can survive the dynamical evolution. Notably, we find that resonant chains hosting hot Jupiters are more likely to be unstable compared to those hosting warm Jupiters. Our simulations indicate that 33% ± 4% hot Jupiters and 70% ± 4% warm Jupiters could possess nearby companions. Furthermore, incorporating the effects of general relativity and tidal dissipation increases the isolation of hot Jupiters, resulting in nearby companion occurrence rates of 20% ± 4% for hot Jupiters and 69% ± 6% for warm Jupiters.

Assisted by the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission capturing unprecedented high-resolution data in the terrestrial magnetotail, we apply a local streamline-topology classification methodology to investigate the categorization of the magnetic field topological structures at kinetic scales in the turbulent reconnection outflow. It is found that strong correlations exist between the straining and rotational part of the velocity gradient tensor as well as the magnetic field gradient tensor. Strong energy dissipation prefers to occur at regions with high magnetic stress or current density, which is contributed mainly by O-type topologies. These results indicate that the kinetic structures with O-type topology play a more important role in energy dissipation in turbulent reconnection outflow.

Published: November 2023

The Zeeman effect has been routinely used to image and quantify the solar photospheric magnetic field (B). Such a direct measuring technique is not yet available for the corona (Lin et al. 2004). Since almost all transient nonthermal radio emissions from the corona are either partially or fully circularly polarized, observing their polarization signatures over broad frequency ranges would be of help to estimate B as a function of heliocentric height. This article aims to describe the design and development of a Cross-polarized Log-Periodic Dipole Antenna (CLPDA), an integral part of a radio spectro-polarimeter, which works in the 50–500 MHz frequency-range and to explain the tests that were carried out to characterize it. The above frequency range corresponds to a heliocentric height range ≈1.03 < r < 2.5 R
⊙ (R
⊙ = photospheric
radius), wherein the numerous coronal nonthermal transients associated with space-weather effects are observed to originate. The CLPDA is used to determine the strength and sense of polarization of the received radio signal. The uncertainty involved in the determination depends on the polarization-isolation (PI) between the two orthogonal components of a CLPDA. Some of the recent advancements made in the antenna design concepts at high frequencies (∼GHz) were adopted to reduce the PI at low frequencies (∼MHz). Throughout the above frequency range, the CLPDA has a gain, return loss, and PI of ≈6.6 dBi, ≲−10 dB, and ≲−27 dB, respectively. The average PI of the CLPDA varies from −30 to −24 dB over an azimuthal angle range 0° to ±45° within which the observations are performed regularly.
The Rapid Optical Variability of the Nearby Radio-loud AGN Pictor A: Introducing the Quaver Pipeline for AGN Science with TESS
Authors: Smith Krista Lynne , Sartori Lia F.
Published: November 2023

The sampling strategy of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) makes TESS light curves extremely valuable for investigating the high cadence optical variability of active galactic nuclei (AGN). However, because the TESS instrument was primarily designed for exoplanet science, the use of the satellite for other applications requires careful treatment of the data. In this paper, we introduce Quaver, a new software tool designed specifically to extract TESS light curves of extended and faint sources presenting stochastic variability. We then use this new tool to extract light curves of the nearby radio-loud AGN Pictor A, and perform a temporal and power spectral analysis of its high-cadence optical variability. The obtained light curves are well fit with a damped random walk (DRW) model, exhibiting both stochastic AGN variations and flaring behavior. The DRW characteristic timescales are τ
DRW ∼ 3–6 days during more quiet periods, and τ
DRW ∼ 0.8 day for periods with strong flares, even when the flares themselves are masked from the DRW fit. The observed timescales are consistent with the dynamical, orbital, and thermal timescales expected for the low black hole mass of Pictor A.
ALMA Observations of the Extraordinary Carina Pillars: A Complementary Sample

We present a study of six dusty and gaseous pillars (containing the Herbig–Haro (HH) objects HH 1004 and HH 1010) and globules (that contain the HH 666, HH 900, HH 1006, and HH 1066 objects) localized in the Carina Nebula using sensitive and high-angular-resolution (∼0.″3) Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations. This is a more extensive study that the one presented in Cortes-Rangel et al. As in this former study, we also analyzed the 1.3 mm continuum emission and C18O(2−1), N2D+(3−2), and 12CO(2−1) spectral lines. These new observations revealed the molecular outflows emanating from the pillars, the dusty envelopes+disks that are exciting them, and the extended HH objects far from their respective pillars. We reveal that the masses of the disks+envelopes are in the range of 0.02–0.38 M
⊙, and those for the molecular outflows are of the order of 10−3
M
⊙, which suggest that their exciting sources might be low- or intermediate-mass protostars as already revealed in recent studies at infrared and submillimeter bands. In the regions associated with the objects HH 900 and HH 1004, we report multiple millimeter continuum sources, from where several molecular outflows emanate.

We present 0.″22-resolution Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of CO(2−1) emission from the circumnuclear gas disk in the red nugget relic galaxy PGC 11179. The disk shows regular rotation, with projected velocities near the center of 400 km s−1. We assume the CO emission originates from a dynamically cold, thin disk and fit gas-dynamical models directly to the ALMA data. In addition, we explore systematic uncertainties by testing the impacts of various model assumptions on our results. The supermassive black hole (BH) mass (M

BH is consistent with the BH mass−stellar velocity dispersion relation but over-massive compared to the BH mass−bulge luminosity relation by a factor of 3.7. PGC 11179 is part of a sample of local compact early-type galaxies that are plausible relics of z ∼ 2 red nuggets, and its behavior relative to the scaling relations echoes that of three relic galaxy BHs previously measured with stellar dynamics. These over-massive BHs could suggest that BHs gain most of their mass before their host galaxies do. However, our results could also be explained by greater intrinsic scatter at the high-mass end of the scaling relations, or by systematic differences in gas- and stellar-dynamical methods. Additional M
BH measurements in the sample, including independent cross-checks between molecular gas- and stellar-dynamical methods, will advance our understanding of the co-evolution of BHs and their host galaxies.
High-altitude Spider-type Prominence above the Magnetic Null Point
Authors: Filippov Boris
Published: November 2023

Rather unique observations of a high-altitude spider-type prominence in 2023 February are presented. The prominence or corresponding filament on the disk was not visible all the time but could appear and disappear in the course of a particular day. However, it persisted during the whole half of a solar rotation, being observable from day to day starting from the east limb of the Sun to the west limb. We show that the prominence was located in sagged coronal field lines just above a coronal magnetic null point. The presence of the null point and magnetic dips above it is confirmed by calculations of the potential magnetic field. The mass of the prominence apparently was appearing due to the condensation of hot coronal plasma after several eruptions that occurred in an active-region complex where the prominence was located. The prominence material flowed down along widely spread large coronal loops as coronal rain and was sometimes swept away by subsequent eruptions.

Published: November 2023

The systematic urban floristic research of Budapest was started in 2018 by the authors with detailed methodology. One scope of the research was to gain knowledge on the plant taxa appearing in Budapest and to compile the inventory of the urban flora of Budapest.

We have provided the inventory of the urban flora of Budapest, which includes distribution data for all 973 taxa found in Budapest between May 2018 and May 2023. We also provided new detailed occurrence data for 49 species in Budapest. Seven of them are new to the adventive flora of Hungary (Campanula portenschlagiana Roem. & Schult., Clinopodium nepeta (L.) Kuntze, Chasmanthium latifolium (Michx.) H.O.Yates, Cyrtomium fortunei J.Sm., Linaria maroccana Hook.f., Talinum paniculatum (Jacq.) Gaertn.), three were rediscovered in Hungary (Glebionis coronaria (L.) Cass. ex Spach, Lagenaria siceraria (Molina) Standl., Sisymbrium irio L.) and 18 were recorded for the first time in Budapest. We also provided data for two data-poor (Artemisia scoparia Waldst. & Kit., Polygonum rurivagum Jord. ex Boreau) species and we documented the major expansion of six species.

Published: November 2023

Comment le Salvador et le Nicaragua ont-ils été amenés à interdire complètement l’avortement, respectivement en 1997 et en 2006 ? Quelles priorités les féministes se fixent-elles, depuis ces deux décennies de pénalisation absolue de l’avortement ? Cet entretien croisé avec Morena Herrera, présidente du groupement stratégique pour la dépénalisation de l’avortement au Salvador, et Ana María Pizarro, gynécologue, fondatrice de la clinique SI Mujer au Nicaragua, permet de répondre à ces questions. Il éclaire également les différentes praxis féministes selon les contextes, les trajectoires professionnelles et le sens donné à l’engagement politique.
