Published: January 2024

This study examines, from a comparative standpoint, the contribution of domestic tourism and international tourism to hotel sales revenue (HSR) and its three key revenue sources: room sales revenue (RSR), food and beverage sales revenue (FBR), and other sales income (OSR), using data
from 2003 to 2020. The results indicate that domestic tourism has a greater impact on HSR than international tourism. In addition, we discovered that domestic tourism contributes more to OSR than RSR and FBR, but international tourism contributes more to FBR than OSR and RSR. Notably, panel
threshold regression test results indicate that the effects of domestic tourist arrivals (DTA) on hotel sales (HSR, RSR and FBR) show different degrees of sensitivity to economic fluctuations. Domestic tourism’s impact on hotel sales (HSR, RSR, FBR and OSR) is less sensitive to economic
fluctuations than the impact of international tourism. The RSR’s response to tourism is the least sensitive to economic cycles, whereas the FBR is the most sensitive.

Published: January 2024

Desensitization (DSZ) or oral tolerance induction is increasingly used in children who do not outgrow their food allergies. Off-label omalizumab (OMZ) is used as adjuvant therapy for those with severe reactions, but there is little information on outcomes when OMZ is withdrawn. The long-term outcome in a group of children with severe milk or egg allergy who had undergone an OMZ-assisted DSZ procedure is here described. Clinical data from 21 children from the time they started DSZ until database closure were retrospectively collected, to assess the appearance of symptoms and response to clinical decisions under real-life conditions. Patients received OMZ before, during, and after the DSZ procedure itself and OMZ was subsequently discontinued. The scheduled treatment protocol had to be changed in almost all patients due to reactions or individual needs. Three of 21 patients had to prematurely abandon the procedure due to DSZ failure. The other 18 patients were able to tolerate the target dose of food, but nine of them developed symptoms when eating the food 1.5 to 6 months after stopping OMZ. These patients underwent a second course of OMZ-assisted DSZ, which was successful in six, but three had a second relapse 3 to 8 months after stopping OMZ and decided to quit. OMZ-assisted DSZ failed in almost a third of patients with severe allergy even after a second course of OMZ, almost 40% had a successful outcome with one course of OMZ, while almost a third required a second course. Relapses of symptoms occurred up to six months after stopping OMZ.

In a time when both the quantity and number of medical records are growing, protecting medical information has taken on particular significance. Medical data security and privacy are still compromised by the current system, which leaves room for manipulation and data leaks. Prior research has suggested techniques to safeguard medical data using encrypted algorithms like Blowfish and Vigenere. Nonetheless, this study suggests blockchain technology as a remedy for medical data security and decentralized data protection solutions this work, we implement decentralized data protection and medical information security using smart contracts. Smart contracts are blockchain-encoded agreements that, under specific circumstances, guarantee the contract's execution. In medical information management, smart contracts are used to control how patients, physicians, and healthcare organizations may utilize information. By doing this, patients can consent to the secure and encrypted use of their medical data, guaranteeing that only individuals with the proper authorization can access the information. In this work, we leverage smart contracts and blockchain technology to enhance the security of medical data stored in hospitals or outpatient clinics. The study's findings demonstrate that the data held in blockchains is distributed among several nodes, making them resistant to malware attacks and making the technology hard to alter

Rice husk ash as a substitute for silica gel
Authors: Bonanza Rahmad , Dan Mugisidi
Published: January 2024

Silica gel has been widely used as a dryer for food, medicine and various other purposes. Silica gel is basically a safe material, but because of its hydroscopic nature, silica gel is easily contaminated with dangerous materials. Apart from that, silica gel cannot decompose easily naturally, so using large amounts of silica gel will cause piles of silica gel waste. Therefore, efforts are being made to find replacement materials, one of which is using rice husk ash which can easily decompose naturally. This research aims to test the ability of rice husk ash as a substitute for silica gel. Tests used commercial silica gel (SG), silicon gel in non-woven geotextile bags (SG-N), and rice husk ash in non-woven geotextile bags (AS-N). In this study, AS-N was compared with SG and SG-N. The water vapor absorption test was carried out on a weight of 15 grams for 180 minutes. Each of the three samples was placed in a closed jar to avoid contamination with water vapor in the environment. The relative humidity of each jar was measured with a hygrometer. The jar lid was kept closed throughout the test. The results showed that SG, SG-N and AS-N reduced humidity by 23%, 22% and 24% respectively. Modeling with the Avrami equation is used to extrapolate the absorption results. The research results showed that 15 gram non-woven geotextile rice husk ash had superior water vapor absorption capabilities compared to silica gel and silica gel non-woven geotextiles. So it can be concluded that dryers with rice husk ash as the basic material can be used for needs such as clothes dryers, food dryers and other needs

Published: January 2024

Heavy Equipment Industry is a company operating in the mining heavy equipment industry. The Quality Control Department continues to strive to maintain and improve the quality of every product produced. During 2022 there were complaints from customers, where there were 7 complaints about hangers detaching from the frame. The hanger is a connecting component between the leaf spring and the chassis which functions as a support for the load. This has a very fatal impact because it is related to safety, unit function and unit productivity. The crack defect caused a repair process by re-welding the part of the hanger where the crack was present. The aim of this research is to reduce the defect rate in Hanger defects. The method used is DMAIC. Primary data and supporting data were collected through field observations to describe actual conditions before repairs. Based on the results of the analysis and improvements that have been carried out, it was found that creating work instructions for the process of attaching hangers to units can help manpower understand the process and work sequence in hanger fabrication. The proposal to add reinforcement check points to the hanger setting check sheet is hoped to be able to maintain the hanger without reinforcement entering the next process and increase supervision of the hanger welding quality.

Smoking predisposes to endothelial dysfunction; however smoking cessation would have a beneficial effect oncardiovascular risk. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of smoking cessation on vascular function.Methods: This is a comparative, prospective, descriptive, and multicenter study, carried out between March 2018and April 2021 at two Health Services of the National Gendarmerie and at the Laboratory of Physiology andFunctional Explorations of the Faculty of Medicine in Dakar, Senegal. The population included 45 consenting adultmen, divided into 3 groups: active smokers, weaned smokers, and non-smokers. We assessed vascular functionusing the Flow Mediated Dilation (FMD) technique, which consisted of measuring the diameter of the humeralartery at rest and then every 30 seconds after its occlusion.Results: Non-smokers showed better humeral artery dilation at T1 (30 seconds after occlusion release) with ahigher mean FMD than the other 2 groups (p = 0.0007). In addition, FMD kinetics showed that control subjects aswell as weaned subjects had better arterial compliance (p < 0.05) compared to active smokers. FMD1 values werepositively correlated with smoking cessation duration (p = 0.0411; R2 = 0.3374).Conclusion: Our results showed that stopping smoking improves vascular function and thus constitutes ameans of preventing cardiovascular diseases, hence the need to promote smoking cessation in Africa and moreparticularly in Senegal.

Background: Contemporary concerns recognize atmospheric air pollution as a significant contributor tocardiovascular diseases. Notably, wood dust, colloquially known as sawdust, emerges as a source of air pollution.Our investigation sought to assess the impact of wood dust on the cardiovascular health of carpenters in the Dakarregion.Methods: This cross-sectional study encompassed one hundred (100) carpenters in the Dakar region. Acomprehensive questionnaire gathered data on socio-demographic features, professional experience, medicalhistory, preventive measures, and lifestyle habits. Vascular function assessment involved determining finger-toepulse wave velocity (ft-PWV) using a popmeter. Additionally, we screened for obliterative arteriopathy of thelower limbs (OALL). Heart rate variability measurement provided insights into the sympatho-vagal balanceof nervous control over cardiac activity.Results: The average age in our population was 38 ±7.2 years, with a body mass index of 22.7 ±2.8 kg/m2. A majority(69%) worked an average of 10.2 hours per day for six days per week. Approximately 73% of the shops were observedto be enclosed. Respiratory and ocular symptoms were prevalent among participants. Analysis using the Pop meterrevealed arterial stiffness (ft-PWV>10 m/s) in 3% of participants, and 11% exhibited arterial hypertension.OALL was present in 8% of participants. Furthermore, a positive correlation (P=0.003; r=0.581) between ft-PWVVand mean arterial pressure was noted. Data on cardiac variability indicated a substantial proportion of participantsdisplaying decreased tone in the cardiac-parasympathetic nervous system in the supine position (94.73% hadRMSSD values above norms). Notably, abnormal activation of the parasympathetic system (HF) and decreasedsympathetic system activity (low values for HF, LF, and LF/HF compared with norms) were observed in theorthostatic position.

Conclusion: Carpentry work in environments with elevated air pollution, potentially emanating from wooddust, poses inhalation risks for workers. The inhalation of wood dust appears linked to an increased risk andexacerbation of cardiovascular complications.

Socio-psychological characteristics of the life orientations of retired seniors
Authors: Гераськина М.Г.
Published: January 2024

Проблематика смысложизненных ориентаций особенно остро встает перед пенсионером, достигающим определенного «рубежа», нового социального статуса. С изменением социального статуса его мир сужается, ограничивается круг общения, возникает экономическая зависимость от государства или родственников и как следствие — деструкции, отражающиеся на его здоровье и самооценке, иногда приводящие к летальному исходу. Разное психологическое, социальное, экономическое положение пенсионеров в современном обществе требуют выработки широких социальных смыслов жизни для определенных групп пенсионеров и узких — для каждого пенсионера отдельно, для чего разрабатываются социально-психологические технологии повышения смысла их жизни. В статье автором рассматриваются теоретико-методологические аспекты смысложизненных ориентаций с точки зрения социально-психологического подхода, обосновывается их важность для личности, анализируется зарубежный и отечественный опыт по развитию смысложизненных ориентаций пенсионеров. Приводятся и интерпретируются результаты проведенного эмпирического исследования сформированности смысложизненных ориентаций пенсионеров, проживающих на базе государственного бюджетного стационарного учреждения Рязанской области «Рязанский геронтологический центр имени П. А. Мальшина. Описываются факторы и условия их формирования, а также возможности использования для этого арт-терапии, логотерапии, трудотерапии. Даются краткие социально-психологические рекомендации по их развитию.

The problem of life orientations grows especially acute for retired senior citizens who reach a certain “milestone” and obtain a new social status. With this change in social status, their world narrows down, as the social community is restricted, economic dependence on the state or relatives arises and, as a result, worsening of health and self-esteem, sometimes leading to their death. What is required is development of special programs for various categories and individual development programs, as all pensioners are in different psychological, social, and economic situations. The goal should be a broadening of social meanings of life, to increase the sense life purpose. In the article, the author examines the theoretical and methodological aspects of life orientations within the socio-psychological approach, substantiates their importance for individuals, and analyzes foreign and domestic experience in the development of life-meaning orientations of pensioners. Here, the results of an empirical study of the formation of life orientations of pensioners living in the state budgetary inpatient institution of the Ryazan Region, “Ryazan Gerontological Center named after P. A. Malshin” are presented and interpreted. The factors and conditions for their formation are described, as well as the possibilities of using art therapy, logotherapy, and occupational therapy.
Ecology of the Zombie
Authors: Oloff Kerstin
Published: January 2024

Ecology of the Zombie proposes that the zombie - an originally Haitian figure - is fundamentally ecological in that it encapsulates the logic of the specific nature-society relations that constitute the capitalist world-system. In its various incarnations - from enslaved body toiling on fields, to vacant-eyed, light-skinned female imprisoned within patriarchal structures, to the cannibalistic mass zombie roaming apocalyptic scenarios - the zombie speaks powerfully to capitalism's constitutive metabolic rifts, that is, the alienation of the mass of the population from their lands and their bodies. The book provides an original perspective on the twentieth-century cultural history of this figure and offers an important intervention in current debates around the ecologies of Gothic imaginaries. It argues for the centrality of the Caribbean monstrous to understanding Gothic ecologies, due to the region's central role in the emergence of capitalist modernity. Ranging across a variety of literary and filmic texts from the Caribbean (including Haiti, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Martinique, Puerto Rico and Cuba) and the US, the book cuts across various academic fields, including Caribbean Studies, Gothic/Monster Studies, film studies, postcolonial studies, and ecocriticism.

Evidence abounds that young stellar objects undergo luminous bursts of intense accretion that are short compared to the time it takes to form a star. It remains unclear how much these events contribute to the main-sequence masses of the stars. We demonstrate the power of time-series far-infrared (far-IR) photometry to answer this question compared to similar observations at shorter and longer wavelengths. We start with model spectral energy distributions that have been fit to 86 Class 0 protostars in the Orion molecular clouds. The protostars sample a broad range of envelope densities, cavity geometries, and viewing angles. We then increase the luminosity of each model by factors of 10, 50, and 100 and assess how these luminosity increases manifest in the form of flux increases over wavelength ranges of interest. We find that the fractional change in the far-IR luminosity during a burst more closely traces the change in the accretion rate than photometric diagnostics at mid-infrared and submillimeter wavelengths. We also show that observations at far-IR and longer wavelengths reliably track accretion changes without confusion from large, variable circumstellar and interstellar extinction that plague studies at shorter wavelengths. We close by discussing the ability of a proposed far-IR surveyor for the 2030s to enable improvements in our understanding of the role of accretion bursts in mass assembly.
A 3D Parametric Venusian Bow Shock Model with the Effects of Mach Number and Interplanetary Magnetic Field

Published: January 2024

Using global magnetohydrodynamics simulations, we have developed a three-dimensional parametric model for the Venusian bow shock based on a generalized conic section function defined by six parameters, with the effects of the solar wind magnetosonic Mach number (M
MS) and the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) involved. The parametric model’s results reveal the following findings: (1) The size of the Venusian bow shock is primarily determined by M
MS. An increase in M
MS results in the bow shock moving closer to Venus and a reduction in its flaring angle. (2) Both the subsolar standoff distance and the bow shock’s flaring angle increase with the strength of the IMF components that are perpendicular to the solar wind flow direction (B

and B

Z
in the Venus-centered solar orbital coordinate system), whereas the parallel IMF component (B

X
) has a limited impact on the subsolar standoff distance but affects the flaring angle. (3) The cross section of the bow shock is elongated in the direction perpendicular to the IMF on the Y–Z plane, and the elongation degree is enhanced with increasing intensities of B

Y
and B

Z
. (4) The quasi-parallel bow shock locates closer to the planet as compared to the quasi-perpendicular bow shock. These findings are in alignment with prior empirical and theoretical models. The influences of M
MS and IMF on the bow shock’s position and geometry are attributed to the propagation of fast magnetosonic waves, showing the nature of the formation of a collisionless bow shock under the interaction of magnetized flow with an atmospheric object.
Korg: Fitting, Model Atmosphere Interpolation, and Brackett Lines
Authors: Wheeler Adam J. , Casey Andrew R. , Abruzzo Matthew W.
Published: January 2024

We describe several updates to Korg, a package for 1D LTE spectral synthesis of FGKM stars. Built-in functions to fit observed spectra via synthesis or equivalent widths make it easy to take advantage of Korg's automatic differentiation. Comparison to a past analysis of 18 Sco shows that we obtain significantly reduced line-to-line abundance scatter with Korg. Fitting and synthesis are facilitated by a rigorously tested model atmosphere interpolation method, which introduces negligible error to synthesized spectra for stars with T
eff ≳ 4000 K. For cooler stars, atmosphere interpolation is complicated by the presence of molecules, though we demonstrate an adequate method for cool dwarfs. The chemical equilibrium solver has been extended to include polyatomic and charged molecules, extending Korg's regime of applicability to M stars. We also discuss a common oversight regarding the synthesis of hydrogen lines in the infrared, and show that Korg's Brackett line profiles are a much closer match to observations than others available.

AT 2020mot is a typical UV/optical tidal disruption event (TDE) with no radio or X-ray signatures in a quiescent host. We find an i-band excess and rebrightening along the decline of the light curve which could be due to two consecutive dust echoes from the TDE. We model our observations following van Velzen et al. and find that the near-infrared light curve can be explained by concentric rings of thin dust within ∼0.1 pc of a ∼6 × 106
M
⊙ supermassive black hole (SMBH), among the smallest scales at which dust has been inferred near SMBHs. We find dust covering factors of order f

c
≤ 2%, much lower than found for dusty tori of active galactic nuclei. These results highlight the potential of TDEs for uncovering the environments around black holes when including near-infrared observations in high-cadence transient studies.
Are Coronal Loops Projection Effects?
Authors: Uritsky Vadim M. , Klimchuk James A.
Published: January 2024

We report results of an in-depth numerical investigation of three-dimensional projection effects that could influence the observed loop-like structures in an optically thin solar corona. Several archetypal emitting geometries are tested, including collections of luminous structures with circular cross sections of fixed and random size, and light-emitting structures with highly anisotropic cross sections, as well as two-dimensional stochastic current density structures generated by fully developed magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. A comprehensive set of statistical signatures is used to compare the line-of-sight (LOS) integrated emission signals predicted by the constructed numerical models with the loop profiles observed by the extreme ultraviolet telescope on board the flight 2.1 of the High-Resolution Coronal Imager (Hi-C). The results suggest that typical cross-sectional emission envelopes of the Hi-C loops are unlikely to have high eccentricity, and that the observed loops cannot be attributed to randomly oriented quasi-two-dimensional emitting structures, some of which would produce anomalously strong optical signatures due to an accidental LOS alignment, as expected in the ''coronal veil“ scenario proposed recently by Malanushenko et al. The possibility of apparent loop-like projections of very small (close to the resolution limit) or very large (comparable with the size of an active region) light-emitting sheets remains open, but the intermediate range of scales commonly associated with observed loop systems is most likely filled with true quasi-one-dimensional (roughly axisymmetric) structures embedded into the three-dimensional coronal volume.
