Employing “Someone to be Your Voice” in an Artisanal Gastronomic Tourism Business: Authenticity, Cultural Capital, and Human Resources
Authors: Frost Jennifer , Mellon Victoria , Stalmirska Anna , Frost Warwick
Published: June 2024

The difficulty of hiring suitable staff in rural areas has been particularly challenging for small gastronomic family businesses involved in tourism. Their human resources needs may include the ability of employees to tell stories about the business, including the family history, and
to assist in maintaining its authentic image for visitors. This article explores the experiences of artisanal food or beverage tourism businesses with respect to employment of staff and draws on qualitative data from case studies of South Gippsland, Victoria in Australia and the UK???s Peak
District. Sixteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with relevant stakeholders. Findings suggest that familiness played an important role in the way that many of these artisanal gastronomic businesses made their decisions to employ staff, linked to issues of authenticity and cultural
capital. While employing nonfamily members to interact with visitors in public-facing roles was generally not a preferred option, these businesses may need to train and empower nonfamily staff to tell the family story in a convincing and acceptable way or pursue collaborations with other artisanal
businesses to overcome the problem of staff shortages.

Authors: Pilgrim Stephen W. , Quow Keston M. , Hilt Jorge A.
Published: June 2024

Este estudio examina los factores que afectan el desempeño de los supermercados en un pequeño país en desarrollo. La industria minorista en Trinidad y Tobago es bastante importante e impactante; sin embargo, la falta de investigación en esta área hace que esta sea necesaria.
Utilizando un diseño cuantitativo, no experimental, transversal, correlacional y predictivo, se recolectaron datos de una muestra de 142 supermercados en Trinidad. Se crearon instrumentos para las variables que miden el desempeño de marketing, la gestión/liderazgo y los factores económicos, y se adaptó un instrumento para medir el desempeño de los supermercados. Se analizó un modelo de regresión lineal múltiple en el que el desempeño del supermercado era la variable dependiente y las demás mencionadas eran las variables independientes.
El modelo de regresión lineal múltiple mostró que las variables de gestión/liderazgo general (β = .316) y factores económicos (β = .276) son predictores significativos del desempeño del supermercado. El modelo explicó el 39,4% de la varianza del desempeño dependiente del supermercado. Se concluye que la gestión del supermercado impulsa la eficiencia mediante la gestión de factores económicos para establecer el desempeño óptimo.
El modelo final proporcionó información valiosa sobre el sector de supermercados, pero la muestra utilizada se compuso principalmente de supermercados pequeños y medianos. Como consecuencia, el modelo puede estar limitado en su aplicación.

Authors: Aceng Aceng Badruzzaman , Mamun Sukron , Fauzi Ahmad
Published: June 2024

Bersaing dalam ilmu pengetahuan, teknologi dan rekayasa merupakan masalah pendidikan Indonesia secara keseluruhan, khususnya pondok pesantren. Di era digital yang terus berkembang ini terbukti jika pondok pesantren mempertahankan metode pembelajaran konvensional tanpa mengintegrasikan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi sehingga pesantren tidak akan mampu bersaing dan menjawab setiap hambatan dalam arus ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi (digital). Namun, jika pesantren mampu memadukan keduanya maka akan tercipta generasi yang berkarakter, beriman, cerdas dan siap menghadapi segala tantangan  ilmu pengetahuan atau teknologi yang mungkin diberikan dunia di era digital ini. Pengenalan dan penerapan AI dalam pondok pesantren dapat menjadi solusi inovatif untuk meningkatkan kompetensi guru dan kualitas pendidikan Islam. Dengan pelatihan, pengembangan konten digital, dan pengukuran hasil yang baik, AI dapat membantu mencapai tujuan pendidikan yang lebih baik di pondok pesantren, yang merupakan pusat pendidikan Islam yang penting di Indonesia. Pengenalan dan penerapan kecerdasan buatan (Artificial Intelligence/AI) dalam pendidikan memiliki potensi besar untuk meningkatkan kompetensi guru di pondok pesantren. Karena pada dasarnya, perpaduan AI dan pendidikan ini berfokus pada kebutuhan setiap individu melalui fitur-fitur seperti game yang disematkan AI dan program yang disesuaikan. Selain itu, solusi yang didukung oleh AI dapat menganalisis riwayat pembelajaran siswa sebelumnya, mengidentifikasi kelemahan, dan menawarkan kursus yang paling sesuai untuk peningkatan kualitas pembelajaran dan memberikan banyak peluang. Analisis ini memungkinkan guru untuk membuat program pembelajaran terbaik untuk semua siswa. Dengan menganalisis kebutuhan khusus setiap siswa, guru dan profesor dapat menyesuaikan kursus mereka untuk mengatasi kesenjangan pengetahuan sebelum siswa tertinggal terlalu jauh.

THE PROBLEM OF THE AUTHENTICITY OF A GENRE SOURCE
Authors:   Altai State Pedagogical University, Tyukaeva N. I.
Published: June 2024

This article is carried out in line with research on the problems of genre studies. The author tries to solve the problem of developing a method for describing the speech genre as a communicative unit of the ethical level. The relevance of the study is due to the unsatisfactory result of many years of attempts to develop a methodology for describing the genre that can identify the meaningful factors of a typical utterance as an object. As one of the solutions to the problem, it is proposed to put forward the theory of genre source studies with the development of a technology for modeling a genre source by introducing a formula of a communicative situation into the model of a typical utterance as a factor determining the reference of the genre.The novelty and significance of this work is due to the description of an original and potentially productive approach to determining the genre structures of an utterance through the construction of a genre source model through the prism of communicative components.
AXIOLOGY OF THE DIALOGUE OF CULTURES: “CHINESE” RECEPTION OF F. M. DOSTOEVSKY’S CREATIONS IN THE XX-XXI CENTURIES
Authors:   Altai State University, Wang Yifan , Khalina N. V.
Published: June 2024

The article analyses the reception of Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky’s creation in the works of Chinese researchers. The main attention is paid to the historical context in which Dostoevsky’s works were translated. The analysis of the cultural factors, in the horizon of which the translation was carried out, allows us to conclude that the interaction with Dostoevsky’s works became the basis for the formation of a value approach in Chinese intellectual culture. The reception of the key themes and peculiarities of Dostoevsky’s style, which resonated with Chinese scholars and writers, including Lu Xun, Yu Hua, Liu Lin, Yu Dafu and Liu Cixin, is considered as the foundations of Chinese axiological philosophy, formed in dialogue with Russian culture and Russian linguistic consciousness, functionally developed with a reliance on “participatory (axiological)” thinking. The peculiarities of Dostoevsky’s work reception in modern China are noted: high appreciation of artistic talent, ability to create vivid and memorable images, mastery in the use of language, attention to complex philosophical issues relevant in the circumstances of modern history.

A. PLATONOV’S LYRICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL STORIES AS «VERBAL MUSIC» (on the material of «Poems of thought»)
Authors:   Institute of Philology of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Proskurina Elena N.
Published: June 2024

The article is devoted to the study of musical modus in the work of A. Platonov. The early story “The Poem of Thought” (1921), which has not yet been analyzed in this aspect, is involved in the analysis. The main elements of musicality of Plato’s early philosophical prose, which has the author’s nomination of “poem”, are considered. These include motif, rhythm, intonation analysed in correlation with the philosophical and aesthetic views of the young writer. The dynamism of the development of the plot of the “Poem of Thought” in its coherent relationship with Beethoven’s music is revealed. The connection of the “rebellious” poetics of the story with the musical “rebelliousness” of Beethoven, which became relevant in the revolutionary era as a musical realization of the plot of “uprising against the universe”, is shown.

THE PHENOMENOLOGICAL COMPONENT IN THE POETICS OF THE NOVEL «THE LIFE OF KLIM SAMGIN»: (on the question of the meaning of the refrain: «was there a boy?»)
Authors:   Moscow International University, Ivanov Evgeny E.
Published: June 2024

The article interprets the meaning of the mysterious refrain of M. Gorky’s largest text. The refrain “Was there a boy?” is presented as a phenomenological reduction of intellectual and revolutionary reality in the illusionist reception of the protagonist. The key episodes in the formation of the image of Klim Samgin are subjected to a detailed discourse analysis. To highlight the context of M. Gorky’s novel, metatextual (the story “The Old Woman Izergil”) and intertextual (Dostoevsky’s novel “Crime and Punishment”) were produced comparisons. Some intersections with the prose of G. Gazdanov, as well as with the tragedy “Boris Godunov” by A. Pushkin, are considered. Klim Samgin’s «emptiness of the soul» is explained through the category of «typical» and parameterized with the groundlessness and futility of forcibly solving problems that have accumulated in the history of the formation of Russia as part of the Western world.
Novel Antiarrhythmic and Cardioprotective Effects of Brilliant Blue G
Authors: Abdel-Salam Omar M. E. , El Baset Marawan Abd , Morsy Fatma A. , Sleem Amany A.
Published: June 2024

In this study, we investigated the effects of the purinergic P2X7 receptor antagonist brilliant blue G (BBG) on cardiac arrhythmia and myocardial injury induced by intravenously (i.v.) administered epinephrine in anesthetized rats. We also examined the possible involvement of beta-adrenergic receptors or cholinergic mechanisms in the effects of BBG. Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with epinephrine (10 μg/kg, i.v.). Brilliant blue G (100 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally (i.p.) administered thirty minutes prior to i.v. epinephrine. The effects of pretreatment with propranolol (2 mg/kg, i.p.) or atropine (2 mg/kg, i.v.) given prior to BBG and epinephrine were examined. The control group received saline. Moreover, the effects of only BBG on electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters were investigated. Results showed that compared with the saline control, BBG caused significant bradycardia (from 405.8 ± 1.18 to 239.4 ± 6.69 beats/min), increased RR interval (from 0.149 ± 0.002 to 0.254± 0.007 sec) and PR interval (from 0.051 ± 0.0008 to 0.059 ± 0.0004 sec), increased R wave amplitude (from 0.238 ± 0.019 to 0.548 ± 0.009 mv), and shortened QTc interval (from 0.169 ± 0.006 to 0.141 ± 0.003 sec) over 15 minutes after of BBG administration. BBG did not cause cardiac arrhythmia. Meanwhile, epinephrine produced significant bradycardia (209.8 ± 28.78 vs. 405.8 ± 1.18 beats/min), increased PR interval, prolonged the QRS complex, shortened QTc interval, decreased R wave amplitude and induced ventricular tachycardia. Brilliant blue G given prior to epinephrine increased heart rate and completely suppressed the epinephrine-induced ventricular arrhythmia. The inhibitory effect of BBG on the arrhythmia caused by epinephrine was prevented by atropine. In contrast the epinephrine induced arrhythmia was completely suppressed with propranolol and BBG. The histopathological study showed that epinephrine caused necrosis and apoptosis of cardiac muscle cells, degeneration of cardiac muscle fibers, and interstitial haemorrhages. These changes were markedly prevented by BBG alone, propranolol/BBG and to a less extent by atropine/BBG pretreatment. The study provided the first evidence for a cardioprotective and anti-arrhythmogenic actions for BBG against epinephrine-induced arrhythmia and myocardial damage, and suggested that cholinergic mechanisms are involved in its anti-arrhythmogenic action.

Published: June 2024

A preservação da qualidade das águas é uma necessidade universal que exige atenção por parte das autoridades sanitárias, particularmente em relação aos mananciais e águas destinadas a utilização pública, visto que sua contaminação por efluentes de origem humana e animal possa torná-las um veículo na transmissão de patógenos. A pesquisa a nível microbiológico de um corpo hídrico faz-se importante, pois além de fornecer dados sobre o grau de contaminação, pode evitar o surto de várias doenças. Com objetivo de avaliar a qualidade microbiológica da água no Rio do Cascão em Salvador, BA, usando como bioindicadores coliformes termotolerantes (CTo) e totais, foi realizada coleta da água no mês de mar/2012 em pontos escolhidos ao longo do curso d’água. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que água do rio do Cascão encontra-se em condições satisfatórias com valores de coliformes termotolerantes abaixo dos limites da resolução CONAMA 357/05 para águas doces classe 2.
MODELOS DE APRENDIZAGEM DE MÁQUINA PARA PREVISÃO DA DEMANDA DE ÁGUA DA REGIÃO METROPOLITANA DE SALVADOR, BAHIA
Authors: Jesus Edmilson dos Santos de
Published: June 2024

O aquecimento global e o crescimento da população mundial (DINIZ, 2019) tem como consequência o crescimento da demanda por água potável. A população mundial aumenta em cerca de 80 milhões de pessoas ao ano, ou em mais de 200 mil pessoas por dia, o que confirma a necessidade crescente de água disponível para consumo humano (RIPPLE et al., 2019). Nesse aspecto, o gerenciamento adequado dos serviços públicos de abastecimento de água é de fundamental importância para garantir a disponibilidade contínua de água potável para a população. A decisão sobre o gerenciamento de serviços públicos de abastecimento de água, depende de níveis futuros de demanda, onde o horizonte e a periodicidade de previsão são os principais motores para a escolha da técnica e do modelo para previsão, segundo Donkor et al. (2014). Por isso, a necessidade de, cada vez mais, aprimorar a precisão na previsão da demanda de água, sendo que a utilização de modelos de Aprendizagem de Máquina, como Redes Neurais Artificais (ANNs, do inglês Artificial Neural Networks) e suas variações, podem contribuir de forma decisiva neste processo com a predição de cenários futuros de demanda.

Authors: Fiuza Neto Olimpio Muniz
Published: June 2024

Objetivo do estudo: Analisar se o direito ao saneamento básico era, de fato, assegurado para a população de Porto Seguro assim como é prezado na Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil, a partir das percepções da população. Além disso, procurou-se entrecruzar como referencial teórico os pensamentos de Patrícia Borja e a realidade do saneamento vivenciada pelo público em Porto Seguro.Metodologia: Questionários fechados. O método utilizado foi o quantitativo. Assim sendo, foram aplicados questionários fechados para a população em Unidades Básicas de Saúde de três diferentes bairros da cidade. Em seguida foi feita uma análise quantitativa dos resultados. Relevância: O tema está conexo com a intrínseca relação entre a efetiva prestação dos serviços de saneamento básico e a qualidade de vida da população. Principais resultados: Ficou evidenciada a enorme insatisfação popular com os serviços de saneamento básico ofertados na cidade de Porto Seguro. Apesar das legislações assegurarem a plena eficácia do serviço, na prática não é o que a população percebe, já que conforme os resultados obtidos 83% dos entrevistados discordavam da plena eficácia do serviço. Outro fator analisado foi a percepção de que a maioria não sabia o que englobava os serviços de saneamento básico.Contribuições teóricas: O presente trabalho trouxe como contribuição um implemento na relevância atribuída aos direitos sociais hodiernamente, mostrando que os mesmos, se analisados sob um viés holístico, influenciam diretamente na qualidade de vida da população e, concomitantemente, na manutenção de um meio ambiente saudável e equilibrado.

Published: June 2024

Rice eel’s acceptability as a table food has been tarnished due to its distinct fishy smell. Hence, most Filipinos considered it as the least preferred viand resulting in the least capture for food that hastened its invasiveness. To lessen the impact of rice eel’s presence in rice farms and encourage its utilization, a post-harvest processing technology with emphasis on bottling was conducted. Three falvorings were tested such as pandan (Pandanus amaryllifolius), lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus) and guava (Psidium guajava) and were evaluated in terms of appearance, texture, aroma and taste by fifty (50) panelist using a 9-point hedonic scale and determined its general acceptability using the acceptability composite index. Four treatments were prepared following the ingredients and procedure of the Industrial Technology Development Institute – Department of Science and Technology (DOST-ITDI). Sensory evaluation shows that Treatment 1 (control), 2 (pandan) and 4 (guava) were statistically not significant in terms of appearance, texture, aroma and taste while Treatment 3 (lemon grass) is significantly lower among treatments. Based on acceptability composite index, Treatment 2 (pandan) rated as rank 1 followed by the Treatment 1 (control), Treatment 4 (guava) and Treatment 3 (lemon grass). It was noted, that the texture and aroma of bottled Spanish- style rice eel with pandan got the highest acceptable rating among the treatments while appearance and taste had the highest acceptability in Treatment 1 (or control). A separate study on the shelf-life and waste utilization of rice eel is highly recommended.

Environmental hazard in a work place is an inevitable experience especially when it has to do with working in a filling stations where volatile and combustible substances like petrol, diesel and kerosene are dispensed via PMS and other channels of distribution or outlets and in the process pollute or saturate the air with hydrocarbons. Individuals working in a petrol station pose different risk of exposure to these xenobiotics that enter the body via different means (inhalation, ingestion and skin or eye contact) and could be detrimental to the body system resulting to death if not properly handled. This research was aimed at assessing some biochemical indicators of occupational hazard in fuel pump attendant from selected service stations in Ihiala, Anambra state. A total of eighty apparently healthy subjects (40 males and 40females) aged between 28-35 years volunteers participated in the study. Each gender was further categorized into two groups of 20 each for control (unexposed workers) and exposed pump attendants respectively. The pump attendants that volunteered for this study had spent an average of 5-6 years on the job. Blood samples were collected from the volunteers with their informed consent and selected biochemical parameters such as liver function test (ALP, AST ALT), kidney function test (urea, creatinine and uric acid), protein profile (total protein and albumin), and electrolyte levels were investigated using standard methods. The result of the investigations showed that urea and creatinine level of exposed female pump attendants (5.80±0.02 mg/dl and 82.50±2.15 mg/dl)were significantly higher (P<0.05) than unexposed female pump attendants (5.00±0.45mg/dl and 58.00±0.11 mg/dl respectively). Serum sodium (Na+ ) electrolyte levels of exposed male and female exposed pump attendant (143.00±1.05 and 141.00±1.25 mmol/L respectively) were significantly higher (P<0.05) compared to Na+ electrolyte levels in male and female unexposed workers (138.00±0.14 mmol/L and 139.50±2.11 mmol/L respectively) while the chloride ion level in male and female pump attendants were higher compared to male and female unexposed workers. Alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase (ALT and AST) levels of male and female exposed pump attendant were higher than that in male and female unexposed pump attendant. Petroleum fumes are therefore environmental pollutants that could have serious consequences on biochemical parameters in petroleum product exposed individuals. Therefore, health Safety and Environmental training is recommended for petrol station workers on regular basis to improve their safety and create awareness on the dangers inherent associated with filling station workers exposed to petrol fumes.
