The construction stage is a stage that needs attention so that the main goal of producing a quality project can be achieved. In the construction stage, project managers should consider the positive and negative aspects that will occur in the next stage, namely the operational stage. The contractor's profit will be obtained when it is appropriate to apply the construction method at the project site. Different construction methods must also differ in the needs of ny resources, waste generated, and almost certainly differ in the achievement of project objectives in terms of cost, quality, and time.In completing a project to achieve goals effectively and efficiently, a good management system is needed. To implement a good management system, various methods are needed according to the type of building completed. Management develops and directs methods to align resources and equipment use to achieve project objectives. Many factors affect the accuracy of equipment use and resource utilization including cost, time, and and social. To achieve the goal effectively and efficiently, construction management involves the stages of the standard method used in each building (house, building, etc.).

Published: February 2023

To meet the needs of fish consumption for the community, African catfish are cultivated intensively. African catfish cultivation is carried out intensively with high stocking density, but some disadvantages inhibit growth. To support growth, it is done by giving a combination of fucoidan supplements with turmeric. Fucoidan and turmeric are known to increase fish growth, but there are no reports of using a combination of fucoidan and turmeric given in feed to increase fish growth. Therefore, this study wants to determine the effect of fucoidan supplementation with turmeric on the growth of African catfish. The method used was a completely randomized design with treatment B: (400 mg fucoidan + 1350 mg turmeric extract) kg-1 feed, C: (800 mg fucoidan + 1200 mg turmeric extract) kg-1 feed, D: (1200 mg fucoidan + 1050 mg of turmeric extract) kg-1 of feed and control (A), each with 4 replications. The parameters observed were weight and length gain, survival growth rate (SGR), feed conversion rate (FCR), and feed efficiency (FE). Data were analysed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) at the 95% confidence level and continued with Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The results showed that the combination of fucoidan supplementation with turmeric significantly increased (p <0.05) weight and length growth, SGR, FCR, and FE. The addition of fucoidan supplements with turmeric can be used to cultivate African catfish with an optimal dose (1200 mg fucoidan + 1050 mg turmeric extract) kg-1 feed.

Islam is a complete and comprehensive religion. The comprehension of Islam does not lie in the completeness of the verses of the Qur’an and the words of Hadith, because in fact the verses of the Qur’an and the words of Hadith are limited, meanwhile the human problems continue to grow. So, the role of ijtihad as a means of reform of Islamic law is vital. One of the methods of ijtihad is Istishâb. This study describes the meaning of Istishâb, scholars’ opinion about the value of its strength as a source of law, as well as the influence of scholars’ opinion about the value of his resistance to differences of opinion in Islamic law. This study concludes that the majority of scholars of the Maliki, Shafii, and Hambali sect assert that Istishâb is a hujjah to defend (daf’i) and establish something (itsbat). The late ulamas of the Hanafi sect assert that Istishâb is a hujjah in defense of something, while the majority of the Hanafi scholars and some scholars of the Shafi’i sect state that Istishâb is not a hujjah at all. The difference of the ulama’s view of the use of Istishâb in ijtihad has led to differences in their views on Islamic law, as in the case of the law of the disappeared’s inheritance. In addition, the existence of Istishâb becomes a solution to find out contemporary Islamic law, Especially In the field of criminal law, personal status and civil law.

Analysis of changes in L2 writing over the time of a short-term academic English programme
Authors: Lahuerta Ana Cristina
Published: February 2023

The present study investigated what aspects of academic writing improved, if any, at the completion of one semester of studying an EAP course titled Advanced Academic English, which was specifically designed for undergraduate students from the degree in English Studies at a Spanish university. This study aimed to ascertain the nature and extent of the development of the English L2 writing proficiency of 59 college-level EFL learners at an advanced level of English proficiency over the time of a short-term academic English language programme by means of quantitative measures targeting different components of the syntactic complexity of the learners’ writing performance (global, clausal and phrasal). Results point to a significant increase in coordination and clausal and phrasal elaboration, at the expense of subordination. Results also suggest a tendency towards greater use of more complex phrasal constructions by more competent writers. Overall, these results underscore the importance of syntactic complexity, particularly nominal complexity in producing successful academic writing, and highlight the pedagogical attention that should be paid to the production and meaning of such structures in EAP courses and in L2 English writing instruction in general.
The impact of interdisciplinary Project Based Learning on young learners’ speaking results
Authors: Cabanillas Hilario Eneko
Published: February 2023

The aim of this research study is to analyse the impact of interdisciplinary Project Based Learning (PBL) for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching on speaking skill results. A quasi-experimental design was selected to that effect, with a control group (24 participants) and an experimental one (22 participants) from the 5th grade of Primary Education, in the bilingual region of The Basque Country (Spain). The intervention for the control group was founded on a traditional method, whereas the experimental one was developed through interdisciplinary projects. Furthermore, the effect of the method on students’ motivation was measured as well. There was no initial difference between the groups, but there was a statistically significant difference, associated with the instruction method, in the experimental groups’ post-test speaking results. Moreover, data showed a significant difference in motivation in favour of the control group. Notwithstanding, the variance of the groups for the results in motivation were different. The findings revealed that the effect of the interdisciplinary PBL to EFL teaching was greater on the speaking results. Nevertheless, the difference in motivation could not be directly attributed to the training method.

Published: February 2023

Due to climate change, the temperature is increasing; however, its spatial and temporal distribution and trend are lessunderstood. To fill this research gap, this study examines the nature of temperature rise in the Queensland State of Australia. Based on the daily maximum and minimum temperature data of 17 weather stations covering 1969-2018, the geographical patterns as well as the temporal variations of hot days and heatwaves over the state are examined. The Mann-Kendall trend test and simpleregression methods are employed for detecting trends. The majority of the stations show a significant increase in temperature indices, indicating the warming of the state. Out of 17 stations, 12/14 display a significant increase in the annual frequency ofwarm days/nights, and 2/11 reveal a significant decrease in the frequency of cool days/nights. The restof the stations show no change, except two stations showing an upward trend for cold nights. The Excess Heat Factor (EHF) index is used to identify theheat waves. Over Southern Queensland, frequency, total duration, and maximum duration of heatwaves are found to have increased significantly with agreater magnitude compared to other parts of the state. These findings will be useful for climate adaption and mitigation measures in Queenslandis compulsory.

Urban areas in tropical regions have higher flood risks due to the more frequent occurrence of intense convective rainfalls. The rising urbanization process have caused more surfaces to be covered with impervious materials, resulting in increased runoff. Modelling urban growth and its impact on urban hydrology is essential to ensure informed decision in the sustainable management and planning of cities in developing country like Malaysia. The aim of this research is to develop an integrated system for simulating future flood extents by coupling flood and urban growth models for the Upper Klang Ampang catchment which includes Kuala Lumpurcapital city. HEC-HMS was used for flood modelling while SLEUTH cellular automata model was employed to analyse urban growth in the catchment. The results indicate that using historical satellite images from 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2016 as input data layers alongwith slope, land use, hill shade, road and restricted area layers, a slight increase in urban growth from 2020 until 2050 is predicted which can cause the peak discharge to increase by about 11-15%. The integrated flood estimation-urban growth system can be used as an effective tool in urban planning and management for the city.

The occurrence of unprecedented flood events has increased in Malaysia recently. To mitigate the impact of the disaster, the National Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre has endeavored to improve the warning system to produce more accurate and reliable early warning to the public. The paper describes the use of radar composites from the radar network in Peninsular Malaysia to produce quantitative precipitation estimates (QPE) as input to the flood model. The processing of the raw radar data and the conversion of rain rate are described. The comparison between radar QPE and gauge rainfall shows that radar QPE underestimates the gauge rainfall, and the results are better at the western parts of Peninsular Malaysia compared to the eastern parts of Peninsular Malaysia. The comparison between Marshall Palmer (MP) and Rosenfeld (RF) conversion equations shows that there is not much difference in performance between the two equations. Both underestimate the rainfall, although RF estimates higher radar QPE for high rainfall intensity. The underestimated radar QPE is improved by calibration process via the Mean Field Bias (MFB) correction technique. The study introduced zoning into smaller regions for the MFB factors derivation. Results indicated that the radar QPE is much improved after the calibration process. Simulation of flood event in December 2021 for the case study of Langat River basin indicates the improvement of correlation coefficient from 0.67 to 0.99 after the calibration process via MFB for smaller zones.

Electroplating industry generatesharmful anionic heavy metalwhich is Hexavalent Chromium (Cr6+) that need to be treated before it can be discharged into the environment following accordance to the Environmental Industry (Effluent Regulation) 2009. These Cr6+ ions must be reduced to chromium trivalent (Cr3+) using a reducing agent before undergoing precipitation process for complete removal of (Chromium) Cr component. The common reducing agent is using Sodium Metabisulphite (SMBS). This chemical generates harmful gases which are Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) and Sulphur Dioxide (SO2). Circular economy practices encouraged by theDepartment of Environment (DOE) includes repurposing industrial waste, where the undesired by product is seen as a potential resource for other purposes. In this study, sludge from Acetylene gas production is used as a reducingagent. Acetylene production sludge (APS) contains high (Calcium) Ca element and (Ferum) Fe ions that are essential for the reduction of Cr6+ to Cr3+. The analysis of APS characterization is done by XRF and XRD instrument with the result of high Ca and Fe ions with (Ca(OH)2) alkaline properties. The initial concentration of Cr6+ is 3.25 mg/L and total Cr concentration is 1124 mg/L. The highest percentage reduction is 61.5% found at pH5.51 with the APS dosage of 1.15 ml. For the effect of APS dosing, 100% reduction of Cr6+ is achieved at pH 6.04 with volume of APS used at 1.8 ml.

This paper aims to developa prediction model for the natural frequencies on Kevlar/Glass hybrid laminated composite plates using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Finite element simulations were performed to generate data for the natural frequencies under various lamination schemes and fibre angles. Rectangular symmetric and anti-symmetric hybrid laminated composite plates were modeled using commercial software, ANSYS, and meshed using shell elements. The Matlab-ANN tool was used to generate the prediction model, where the generated data (natural frequencies) from the finite element simulations were used for training and testing of the prediction model. The network adapted a two-layer feed-forward algorithm. The adequacy of using ANN in predicting natural frequencies was verified, where the coefficient of determination, R2, was found to be over 0.995. The overall results proved that ANN could be a useful tool, where the prediction model produced an error of less than 5%, when compared to the simulated values of natural frequency of various hybrid laminated composites using finite element analysis. These findings concluded that the current study had contributed significant knowledge in understanding the prediction of natural frequency on hybrid laminated composite using the ANN model.

Zakat has the excellent potential to overcome social welfare problems. Baitul Mal Aceh (BMA) is a body that can maximize the benefits of zakat funds for the welfare of the poor in Aceh province; therefore, it is necessary to strive for better management of zakat to obtain better results. This study aims to determine the management of zakat in BMA in terms of a good governance approach. The method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive method with data obtained through interviews, observation, and document study. The research results show that the zakat management in Aceh is quite good. Management should be based on the principles of good governance, such as openness and transparency; societal participation; accountability; and effectiveness and efficiency. Hopefully, BMA can continue to maintain and even improve its performance in managing zakat, so that it can improve the welfare of zakat recipients in Aceh.

Published: February 2023

The article unravels the roles of buyas (charismatic scholar of the community) in coping with confidence issues amongst politicians who competed in the Limapuluh Kota Regency’ 2015 Regional Election in West Sumatra. The study aims to answer the following questions: first, what are the politicians’ motives to seek audience from the buya? Second, what are rituals and statements that the buya provide? As part of a qualitative research conducted within the Regency, the data were collected through in-depth interviews to four buyas and four candidates. The interview results were then analyzed through qualitative approaches. The result of the study indicates that politicians and their canvassers performed ‘political safari’ by visiting buyas upon becoming candidate hopefuls or being pronounced candidates by the Election Committee. It is worth noting that although buyas never rejected any politician or canvasser who wished to meet them, they were never involved in direct campaigns with the candidates or canvassers. In essence, buyas provide politicians a sense of legitimacy at a time when they are losing confidence in themselves. Eventually, as in all political competitions, there will always be victors and losers.

Authors: Wirman Hardi Putra , Burhanuddin Nunu , Elvira Maiza
Published: February 2023

As ethnic minorities who adhere to the majority belief (Islam), ethnic Chinese Muslims in Jakarta are faced with a complex identity crisis, especially in the area of political participation. In the 2017 Jakarta regional elections (Pilkada), ethnic Chinese Muslims were faced with a political situation, whether to choose leaders from ethnic Chinese or leaders from the Muslim community. This situation puts them in a dilemma. However, ethnic Chinese Muslims have survived the complicated politics of ethnicity, even though regional election politics has caused a crisis of identity politics in Jakarta. Based on the research results, Chinese Muslims in Jakarta were able to survive despite the difficulties caused by their identity. This research is important because there are not many studies that specifically discuss the survival strategies of Chinese Muslims in Jakarta. This research is a socio-political research. To collect data, the methodology used is in-depth interviews with several informants. The results of the interviews and data are then processed using a qualitative and analytic approach. This is done in order to show how the Chinese Muslim ethnic group have survived the complicated political situation in Jakarta
Leveraging What Students Know to Make Sense of Texts: What the Research Says About Prior Knowledge Activation
Authors: Hattan Courtney , Alexander Patricia A. , Lupo Sarah M.
Published: February 2023

This systematic literature review examined the research on prior knowledge and its activation to ascertain how these terms are defined, what specific techniques have been empirically investigated, and the conditions under which prior knowledge activation facilitated students’ comprehension. Fifty-four articles met the inclusion criteria and revealed that the terms prior knowledge and prior knowledge activation were often vaguely defined. Further, 30 unique techniques for activating readers’ prior knowledge representing eight different categories were identified. Those categories were open-ended prompts, procedural or strategic supports during reading, visual representations, analogical reasoning, text alteration, augmented activation, extratextual activities, and spontaneous activation. Techniques meant to facilitate knowledge activation prior to reading were most common, although the prompting of students’ existing knowledge was beneficial during and after reading as well. Variability in the effectiveness of activation techniques was related, in part, to the amount, accuracy, and specificity of students’ knowledge. Based on the key findings identified in this review, recommendations for future inquiry are forwarded, including suggested definitions of prior knowledge and prior knowledge activation.
Novedades y radicalidad de las «derechas alternativas» en el Uruguay reciente. El caso de Cabildo Abierto
Authors: Caetano Gerardo
Published: February 2023

Existe todo un contexto global y regional que tiende a sustentar la noción de que el auge de las llamadas «nuevas derechas» o«derechas alternativas» constituye uno de los fenómenos más emblemáticos de nuestro tiempo. La interrogación acerca de cuán nuevos y cuán radicales son estos actores en crecimiento inesperado reaparece siempre para comparar similitudes y diferencias. Desde ese foco analítico, en el presente artículo se busca presentar e interpelar el caso de Cabildo Abierto, el partido/movimiento más novel y también el más desafiante que presenta la política uruguaya actual. Se analizan sus orígenes y antecedentes, los perfiles de su líder y de sus principales dirigentes, sus definiciones más salientes y algunos de sus desempeños relevantes a lo largo de su corta historia, desde su participación en el proce- so electoral de 2019 hasta su inmediata integración en la coalición de gobierno liderda por el presidente Lacalle Pou desde marzo de 2020.
العلاقات العثمانية الروسية في إطار مؤتمر برلين الأول 1878 م

سعت روسيا إلى التدخل في شؤون الداخلية للدولة العثمانية وكسب أراضي عثمانية لمد إمبراطوريتها إلى المياه الدافئة في البحر المتوسط , ولهذا عملت على تقويض القوة العثمانية من الداخل بإثارة الطموحات القومية لدى رعايا المسيحيين للباب العالي:السلاف في البلقان , والأرمن في الأناضول وغيرهم من الاقليات . وقد شهدت العلاقات الدولية في النصف الثاني من القرن التاسع عشر تنافس سياسي واقتصادي ودبلوماسي، لاقتسام املاك الدولة العثمانية، وسعت روسيا  الى أضعاف الدولة العثمانية، وتقسيم ممتلكاتها، وتوسيع النفوذ الروسي في شواطئ البحر الاسود بالطرق الدبلوماسية والحروب العديدة التي خاضتها لتحقيق ذلك. لكن قضت معاهدة برلين على إنتصارات روسيا في حربها مع الدولة العثمانية ،و وضعت  معاهدة برلين حداً لبطش روسيا وأدى إلى خيبة أمل روسية بألمانيا التي كانت تتوقع من الأخيرة الوقوف إلى جانبها في تلك  المعاهدة , فنتج عن ذلك سوء العلاقة الروسية الألمانية وتوترها , وهكذا عدت معاهدة برلين العامل الرئيس للعداء الروسي الألماني والذي كان أحد الأسباب لإندلاع الحرب العالمية الأولى 1914 فيما بعد، وبالمقابل إنقلبت  الدولة العثمانية من مصاف الدول العظمى المتبوعة إلى مصاف الدولة التابعة وقد إنهارت فيها دعائم المقاومة للأخطار الداخلية والخارجية التي تواجهها . بلغت الدولة العثمانية ذروة مجدها وقوتها خلال القرنين الساس عشر والسابع عشر , ودَبَ في القرون اللاحقة الضعف وكثرت الثورات وتدخُل الدول العظمى في شؤون الدولة أدى إلى إنهاكها , ولم تنتهِ الكوارث بإبرام معاهدة برلين فقد توالت عليها الأزمات التي أثارتها تلك الدول للقضاء على ماتبقى لها من ممتلكات ونفوذ. وإذا كان المرء يبحث عن سبب جذري لـ "الحرب العالمية الأولى"، فيجب اعتبار مؤتمر برلين لعام 1878 أحد أهم الأسباب لحرب عام 1914. فلابد من دراسة مؤتمر برلين بعناية باعتباره نقطة تحول حقيقية في التاريخ الدبلوماسي الأوروبي.

Indirect Savings from Public Procurement Centralization
Authors: Lotti Clarissa , Muço Arieda , SPAGNOLO GIANCARLO , Valletti Tommaso
Published: February 2023

Centralization of public procurement can lower prices for the government’s direct purchase of goods and services. This paper focuses on indirect savings. Public administrations that do not procure directly through a central procurement agency might benefit from the availability of centrally-procured goods. We exploit the introduction of a central purchasing agency in Italy and find that prices decreased by 22% among administrations that bought autonomously. These indirect effects appear to be driven by informational externalities, especially for less competent public buyers purchasing technologically more complex goods. Accounting for indirect savings increases the estimate of direct ones.
Das Transformationspotential des deutschen Sustainable Finance Diskurses: Eine Einschätzung auf Basis von Logiken und Frames
Authors: Dimmelmeier Andreas , Egerer Elsa
Published: February 2023

Against the backdrop of a simultaneous dynamization of sustainable finance and intensifying environmental and social crises, the following article carries out an analysis of the transformation potential of the sustainable finance discourse that is present in German governance discussions. The discourse is illustrated through a content analysis of the German government's Sustainable Finance Strategy and the final report of the first Sustainable Finance Advisory Council. In order to evaluate the transformation potential, a frame analysis is conducted. Subsequently, the analyzed frames are linked to the concept of institutional logics, which allows for an assessment of their transformation potential. The article comes to the conclusion that the governance discourse on sustainable finance in Germany is dominated by an integrative frame, which describes sustainable finance per se as desirable, and a frame, which emphasizes financial risks. With regard to institutional logics, a state logic that is motivated by location specific competitiveness policies and a financial market logic dominate. This is consistent with the interpretation that the mainstreaming of sustainable finance is accompanied by an increasingly financialized discourse that derives its goals largely from its own system logics, i.e. those inherent in the financial system. Based on the analysis, the article concludes that the transformation potential of the assessed governance discourse on Sustainable Finance in Germany is relatively low.

Published: February 2023

Reliable temperature reconstructions are necessary to improve climate reconstructions and comparisons with paleoclimate model simulations. Most existing paleotemperature proxies are based on organic and inorganic remains of marine organisms. Despite the evidence that the habitat depth of coccolithophores and other phytoplankton depend on their ability to balance light, nutrients, and grazing pressure, calibrations of proxies based on photosynthesizers often assume they live in the surface ocean. Here we present the first globally distributed dataset of core top multi-species coccolith clumped isotopes (∆47), which show a clear latitudinal thermal gradient and demonstrate coccolith ∆47 sensitivity to temperature. The application of the most recent ∆47-temperature calibration for marine biogenic carbonates yield calcification temperatures implying deep habitats for tropical coccolithophores (from ~50 to up to ~150 m), which could photosynthesize with 1-10% of surface photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) levels. Given the low upper ocean temperature gradient of well-mixed high-latitude locations and the current uncertainties of ∆47 thermometry, coccolith ∆47 cannot be used to reliably constrain a specific habitat depth in these locations. Nevertheless, they are a good indicator of paleotemperatures of the mixed layer. We also use coccolith ∆47 to derive the first regression relating core top coccolith ∆47 and sea surface temperatures (SST). Although this formulation cannot be considered a proper coccolith-specific ∆47 calibration, since it ignores coccolithophore’s potential for calcification at depth, it facilitates comparison with temperature proxies like UK37', which are regressed to SST, rather than production temperature.
Measuring Intellectual Curiosity Across Cultures: Validity and Comparability of a New Scale in Six Languages

Published: February 2023

Intellectual curiosity—the tendency to seek out and engage in opportunities for effortful cognitive activity—is a crucial construct in educational research and beyond. Measures of intellectual curiosity vary widely in psychometric quality, and few measures have demonstrated validity and comparability of scores across multiple languages. We analyzed a novel, six-item intellectual curiosity scale (ICS) originally developed for cross-national comparisons in the context of the OECD’s Programme for the International Assessment of Adults Competencies (PIAAC). Samples from six countries representing six national languages (US, Germany, France, Spain, Poland, and Japan; total N = 5,557) revealed that the ICS possesses very good psychometric properties. The scale is essentially unidimensional and showed excellent reliability estimates. On top of factorial validity, the scale demonstrated strict measurement invariance across demographic segments (gender, age groups, educational strata) and at least partial scalar invariance across countries. As per its convergent and divergent associations with a broad range of constructs (e.g., Open-Mindedness and other Big Five traits, Perseverance, Sensation Seeking, and Job Orientations/Vocational Interests), it also showed convincing construct validity. We recommend the ICS for assessing intellectual curiosity, especially in cross-cultural research applications, yet we also point out future research areas.
Delusions in Anorexia Nervosa
Authors: Gadsby Stephen
Published: February 2023

Anorexia nervosa involves seemingly irrational beliefs about body size and the value of thinness. Historically, researchers and clinicians have avoided referring to such beliefs as delusions, instead opting for the label ‘overvalued ideas’. I discuss the relationship between the beliefs associated with anorexia nervosa and the distinction between delusions and overvalued ideas, as it is conceived in both European and American psychiatric traditions. In doing so, I question the benefit of applying the concepts of delusion and overvalued idea to anorexia nervosa and raise some issues with contemporary use of the Brown Assessment of Beliefs scale for assessing the level of delusionality associated with the disorder.
Influence of additional filters on radiation dose during chest radiography.
Authors: Al-Murshedi Sadeq , Mohammed Ali Ali
Published: February 2023

The goal of this study was to examine the impact of using additional aluminum (Al) and copper (Cu) filters on radiation dose during the adult chest x-ray examination. Adult chest phantoms without and with different slabs of animal fat were used for simulating underweight, overweight, and obese patients, respectively. Phantoms were examined without and with various levels of extra Al and Cu filtering over a range of exposure parameters. A dose area product (DAP) meter was used to measure the radiation dose. Results demonstrated that radiation doses were significantly reduced (p=0.001) when applying extra filters compared with no filters for all of the different phantom sizes. The highest reduction in radiation dosage was 38, 41, and 42 percent for underweight, overweight, and obese phantom size, respectively, by 1mm Al+0.2mm Cu. In conclusion, the use of extra filters in chest x-ray imaging provides an optimal  dose reduction choice regardless of the thickness of the chest region to be radiographed.

Polski megamusical? Teatr Wojciecha Kościelniaka a światowy teatr musicalowy
Authors: Golonka Marek
Published: February 2023

The book presents the artistic biography and some productions of Wojciech Kościelniak, the director and scriptwriter behind a number of novel and very well received music shows ("Les Misérables", "The Phantom of the Opera", "Notre Dame de Paris", "Dance of the Vampires"). His works are usually called musicals but to stress their uniqueness, commentators sometimes use a more whimsical name, "the kościelniaks". The shows by the artist are juxtaposed with analyses of famous musicals from other countries to demonstrate that "the kościelniaks" are not only fascinating artistic experiments but also the author’s original response to key trends in global musical theatre.
Educational tourism as an economic category and a tool for increasing the competitiveness of the tourism industry: conceptual framework and classification
Authors: Mamrayeva D.G. , Tashenova L.V.
Published: February 2023

Object: The object of research is the essence and content of educational tourism.Methods: Bibliographic analysis and classification method.Results: The article studies the approach to the definition of “educational tourism”, including economic, activity, program-oriented, need-oriented, and combined. Based on the bibliographic analysis in the scientometric database Web of Science, an array of publications was studied and key scientific directions on the scientific problem under consideration were identified. The existing classification of educational tourism is given. The author’s definition of the concept of “educational tourism” is given and classification of the types of educational tourism is obtained based on the distinguished features of the grouping.Conclusions: At present, there is still no single approach to the definition and classification of educational tourism due to its interdisciplinarity, characterized by the relationship of economic, pedagogical, geographical, historical, behavioral, and many other sciences. Within the framework of this scientific article, we have identified 16 classification features of educational tourism, given the authors’ definition, including aspects of digitalization, which have become an integral component of the modern process of learning and cognition.
