The East Coast islands of Malaysia are becoming increasingly popular as a world-class nature tourism destination. Not only are they naturally beautiful and accessible, they are also attractive and appear as a destination image. However, whether satisfaction based on the aesthetic quality of the island is sufficient in determining a tourist’s duration of stay is being questioned. This study, therefore, sets out two objectives to investigate the relationship between Aesthetic qualities and Tourist Satisfaction which are to investigate which aesthetic quality has a significant influence on tourist satisfaction of Malaysia’s East Coast islands and to determine whether the length of stay has a significant influence on tourist satisfaction of the East Coast islands of Malaysia. This study used both quantitative and cross-sectional methods to collect data. Then a Smart PLS-SEM analysis was used on the 150 responses; the 5000 replication of samples reveals that all aesthetic qualities contributed to tourist satisfaction. The ANOVA analysis, supported by the post hoc multiple comparison analysis among the groups, the Least Square Difference (i.e., LSD) Fisher’s Test, and Games-Howell Test, yielded intriguing results for the significant difference between the duration of stay groups on these islands. All aesthetic qualities, especially scenery, showed significant differences during a short stay. The findings would raise public awareness of the importance of sustaining the aesthetic quality of island tourism while also benefiting many stakeholders. There is also a need for more promotional efforts to extend the tourists’ duration of stay. However, generalisations of the results of this study are limited to responses given mainly from three main islands of Terengganu.

Ecotourism is a sub-component of sustainable tourism that involves a visit to a natural area and manages the living parts of the natural environment. Moreover, ecotourism’s perceived potential as an effective tool for sustainable development, including economic development and conservation strategies. Currently, the importance of ecotourism service quality is gaining tremendous attention due to the growing demand for ecotourism worldwide and increasing expectations from visitors. A challenge remains in identifying how natural resource and nature-based tourism providers can best achieve those benefits and increase the visitor’s satisfaction levels, while at the same time minimising the effects of degradation to the natural resource being used. Hence, the main purpose of this study is to assess the ecotourism services quality at Kuala Tahan National Park. This study will adopt the ECOSERV instrument to measure visitor’s expectations and perceptions of service quality. This study was conducted using a quantitative approach by obtaining responses from 153 tourists. Based on service quality provided at Kuala Tahan National Park, visitor’s were satisfied with the services provided there. The data collected was analysed using descriptive statistics and Multiple Regression Analysis to achieve the objectives of the study. This study also finds the responsiveness, empathy, and assurance have a significant relationship with service quality at Kuala Tahan National Park. However, they have an unsignificant relation between ecotangibles, tangible and reliability with tourist’s satisfaction. The finding of this study is important for ecotourism activity at Kuala Tahan National Park and for government be able to promote ecotourism product as the main attraction in Malaysia.

There has been a growing reliance on consumer generated content as a source of knowledge for hospitality product decision-making. People post their views, ratings, and reviews of products and services on such platforms, and companies and research organizations are interested in analyzing and extracting all of the comments. It is critical for hotels to take advantage of online customer review information in order to better understand their customers and enhance hotel efficiency. However, analyzing guest reviews is challenging as it contains abundance of data. Using The St Regis Kuala Lumpur as a case study, the objective of the paper is to profile the hotel online reviews using a Netnography approach, identify the hotel attributes that guest comment based on the hotel online reviews and examine the guest satisfaction attitude based on the hotel online reviews. A total of 388 reviews from TripAdvisor were collected. The findings revealed that most of the hotel guests who left comments were international tourists, and couples. Many of whom left excellent ratings for the hotel. The findings show there are nine attributes that are frequently mentioned namely, amenities, location, price, service, cleanliness, food and beverages, hotel and room environment. The results also show that guests left both positive and negative reviews in few common categories such as hotel cleanliness, hotel environment and amenities. Among all the attributes mentioned, satisfied guests tended to leave positive comments for things like hotel cleanliness, hotel and room environment, while dissatisfied guests emphasised the amenities or the lack thereof. The findings of this study make several theoretical and managerial inferences with regards to identifying hotel attributes that contribute to guest satisfaction and improves the understanding of what satisfies and dissatisfies guests from the comments left by the guests on TripAdvisor. The paper concludes with limitations and suggests future research.

Authors:   University of Nagasaki, Japan, Ishida Satoshi
Published: December 2021

The tourism industry has been recognised as a potential development mechanism in local communities facing various changes and challenges. In recent years, content tourism, which is the utilisation of lands associated with works appearing in subcultures and other content works for which Japan has attracted international attention, as a tourism resource. However, previous studies have not revealed much about the practice of contents tourism, especially those that examine it from the perspective of collaborative governance. This article presents a case study of a cross-sectoral organisational network designated to promote contents tourism in Sasebo, Nagasaki. This paper briefly introduces the topics of collaborative governance and contents tourism, and then the network for cross-sectoral collaboration and the research method. As a result, findings are discussed in terms of key elements of collaborative governance, aspects of the network formation and development process and features of the Sasebo’s context that may influence the network development. In conclusion, this paper focuses on the role of key stakeholders in formatting a network in the context of content tourism. The struggle to formulate a collaborative governance approach for effective content tourism may bring positive socio-economic benefits to the city and similar declining cities in Japan. As this approach is conceptually tentative and in its developmental stage in theory and practice, it needs to be complemented by additional research findings from empirical case studies conducted with broader and more diverse stakeholder involvement.

As a result of globalisation, destination marketing has become essential as cities, states, regions and countries compete with one another to attract huge investment and tourists (Baker & Cameron, 2008). In order for these destinations to compete effectively, it is essential to explore how natural disasters may have impacted the destination. Basic utilities such as water resources could have been impacted by natural disasters. To date, little is known on the impact of natural disasters on the water supply which may directly and indirectly affect the image of a destination. Information on the characteristics of natural disasters, namely floods and drought, (i.e., the time duration, location and the severity) based on the individual destination are also not known. Hence, the main objective of this study is to understand the economic and socio-economic aspects of natural disasters on water supply. To fulfill the research gap, a qualitative study was performed. Specifically, two focus group discussions were executed on household representatives of the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur in regard to natural disasters like floods and droughts. Based on the research findings, there is no issue of water supply associated with the flood crisis. However, there are mix opinions on the correlation of droughts and the water supply, with majority believing that there is no correlation between droughts and water supply in the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur. The findings of this qualitative study may serve as the foundation for a quantitative study (i.e., developing sets of questionnaires), and may contribute for policymakers and water utility providers in comprehending the issues and taking precautions prior to the occurrence of natural disasters.

Published: December 2021

If one has not read local English novels like The Garden of Evening Mists and The Night Tiger, one would never be able to imagine the wonders of locales depicted in these two books. One of the reasons the authors here want to visit a said destination is because of the way a certain place is pictured in narratives. Tan Twan Eng brings to life the beauty of Japanese gardens in Cameron Highlands, in the backdrop of postWorld War II while Yangsze Choo takes us into several small towns of Kinta Valley in the state of Perak in her beautifully woven tale of the superstitions and beliefs of the local people in Chinese folklore and myth in war torn Malaysia in the 1930s and after. Many of the places mentioned in these two novels should be considered places to visit by tourists local and international. Although these Malaysian novelists live away from Malaysia, they are clearly ambassadors of the Malaysian cultural and regional heritage. In this paper, a few of the places in the novel will be looked at as potential spots for the coming decade. The research questions considered here are i) what can be done to make written narratives the new trend to pave the way for Visit Malaysia destinations? ii) how could these narratives be promoted as guides to the history and culture of Malaysia? The significant destinations and the relevant cultural history of the regions will be discussed in-depth to come to a relevant conclusion.

Published: December 2021

The hotel industry which supports the tourism industry, plays a crucial part in Malaysia’s economic development. Unfortunately, the outbreak of COVID-19 has caused the tourism industry to make huge losses, both locally and globally in terms of cancellation of all travel and tour activities, including accommodations. Many researchers have attempted to highlight the effects of COVID-19 pandemic on various sectors, however limited studies have been conducted to address how the hospitality industry can mitigate this situation to recover and revive the hospitality industry. Recent reported figures lack of empirical and academic underpinning. This paper aims to fill the gap. It is thus imperative to examine the measures being taken by hoteliers in order to overcome this unprecedented scenario. Therefore, this study’s aim is to highlight the measures taken by the hoteliers to overcome the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in terms of staff employment, working terms and hotels’ loss of revenue. A qualitative research method was deemed appropriate to investigate this scenario. The data collection was founded based on the Grounded Theory approach and feedback was collected through semi-structured interviews among 15 staffs from the Food and Beverage, Accounts and Front Office departments which were selected using purposive sampling from five different hotels in Penang. The findings showed that all of the respondents have come to the agreement that the measures taken by their hotels to overcome the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of staff employment and work conditions were to lower the hotel operations costs. This was done by reducing the number of employees and reducing staffs’ salaries. Other measures taken by the hotel management to mitigate the pandemic’s impact include increasing room sales, venturing into other services, and extending bookings for events. The findings of this study have some practical implications for hoteliers as they can adopt similar strategies in their respective hotels as a means of coping with impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Benicio niño con diabetes mellitus tipo 1. Criterios diagnósticos en diabetes mellitus tipo 1. ¿Es momento para el cambio?
Authors: Valdez Silvina
Published: December 2021

La diabetes mellitus tipo 1 (DM1) es la forma prototípica de DM mediada por autoinmunidad. Clásicamente la DM1 se clasifica como DM1 presintomática, caracterizada por una disminución de la masa de células β sin síntomas, y DM1 sintomática, en cuyo estadio los síntomas de hiperglucemia se hacen evidentes. Alternativamente, la DM1 se puede subdividir en tres estadios: la etapa 1 caracterizada por la presencia de autoanticuerpos y ausencia de disglucemia; la etapa 2 caracterizada por la presencia de autoanticuerpos y disglucemia, y la etapa 3 en la que aparecen los síntomas (DM1 sintomática).A pesar del gran avance en la comprensión de la historia natural de la DM1, todavía se utilizan los criterios de diagnóstico definidos por la Asociación Americana de Diabetes (ADA) en 1997 los cuales cambiaron ligeramente a lo largo de los años. La comunidad ha dado pasos importantes hacia un mejor diagnóstico de la DM1, que desafían viejos dogmas, como ser que la DM1 ocurre solo en niños y la DM2 solo en adultos, o que la obesidad impide el diagnóstico de DM1. En este sentido, sería importante reconocer a la etapa "prediabética" como parte integral del diagnóstico de DM1, como ocurre hoy en día para los pacientes con otras enfermedades autoinmunes. La presencia de dos o más autoanticuerpos de los islotes circulantes y la disglucemia deben utilizarse ahora como criterios de diagnóstico de DM1, reconociendo así la primera etapa de la enfermedad: la diabetes tipo 1 independiente de insulina, que precede a la etapa de diabetes tipo 1 (dependiente de insulina) para casi todos los pacientes. Anticipar el diagnóstico de DM1 proporcionaría beneficios reales para los pacientes.Por último, es importante contar con plataformas mejoradas para medir los autoanticuerpos de los islotes que hagan factible la detección en la población en general. La identificación temprana de la DM preclínica permitirá una menor cetoacidosis diabética, el inicio temprano de la terapia con insulina y el potencial para retrasar o prevenir el inicio de la DM1.
Simposio: Abordaje terapéutico. Patrones alimentarios y célula beta
Authors: Vázquez Fabiana
Published: December 2021

Al indicar un plan alimentario a un paciente, intentaremos promover y sostener patrones alimentarios saludables que lo lleven a un mejor estado de salud, pero al hacer la indicación debemos recordar que la alimentación propia de cada persona se basa en factores ambientales, económicos, sociales y culturales difíciles de modificar, los cuales debemos conocer y respetar antes de la prescripción alimentaria que consideremos adecuada. Realizar pocas modificaciones al patrón que trae el paciente previamente lleva a una mayor adherencia al cambio, que podría implementarse en forma progresiva.De las dietas más utilizadas en los últimos tiempos, la dieta mediterránea es la que cuenta con mayor evidencia de beneficios para el paciente, tanto clínicos como antiinflamatorios, facilidad de adherencia y sostén en el tiempo, pero resulta habitualmente más costosa. Fue extensamente estudiada y existe evidencia en poblaciones a largo plazo, siendo contundentes los datos sobre su beneficio.El otro patrón alimentario que cada vez cuenta con más seguidores y evidencia de beneficios es la dieta vegetariana en todas sus variantes. Las personas que pasan a dietas como la vegana (y basada en plantas) deben recibir adecuada educación nutricional por especialistas a fin de evitar carencias de nutrientes. Las dietas que mayor control médico exigen por posibles complicaciones son la cetogénica, la “muy baja en calorías” (400 a 800 diarias) y el ayuno intermitente.Todas demostraron beneficios a corto plazo, pero aún quedan muchos puntos sin conocerse de sostenerlas a largo plazo. En los pacientes en los que necesitamos promover el descenso de peso, la evidencia muestra que cualquier dieta con la cual el paciente logre reducir la ingesta calórica diaria resultará beneficiosa, independientemente del porcentaje de cada macronutriente que se indique en el plan alimentario. Finalmente, respecto de la preservación de la célula beta y su capacidad de secreción de insulina, solo el descenso de peso y las dietas de bajo índice glucémico demostraron evidencia en este sentido.

Authors: Bukuru Epiphany , Tabitha Nasieku
Published: December 2021

Purpose: The study sought to evaluate financial factors affecting the production efficiency of small-scale coffee farms in Burundi.

Methodology: The research design used during the study was descriptive. The research targeted a population of 300 small-scale coffee farmers. The study had a sample population of 121 smallholder coffee farmers. The study conducted the research for a 6-year period between 2015-2020. The data was collected using a secondary data collection sheet. Secondary data was obtained from Coffee federations' annual reports, cooperatives reports, and coffee farmers’ records. Analysis of the data was done using the Eviews student 11 version. The analyzed data was presented in form of tabulations, mean and standard deviation.

Findings: The study findings showed that the correlation analysis showed that the selling prices per kilogram of coffee beans had a negative and significant correlation to the production efficiency by R = 0.98. Production efficiency had a negative and significant correlation to capital availability by R = 0.260. Lastly, production efficiency had a positive and significant correlation to production costs at R = 0.500. The findings of the research obtained that selling prices per kilogram of coffee beans had a not significant negative effect on production efficiency, while capital availability and production costs had a positive effect on the production efficiency.

A unique contribution to theory, practice, and policy: The study recommended that government should review the policies relating to the selling prices per kilogram of coffee beans to improve small-scale coffee farmers’ incomes. Government should also facilitate access to credit to small-scale coffee farmers. The study incorporated the Cobweb theory of price fluctuation, the theory of credit rationing also called adverse selection theory, and the high payoff inputs model.

A kortárs oktatássegítők, demonstrátorok, a Pécsi Tudományegyetem Általános Orvostudományi Kar (PTE ÁOK) angol nyelvű programjának nemzetközi hallgatói voltak. Elsődleges célunk a magyar hallgatók angol nyelvi kommunikációs hajlandóságának fejlesztése volt a szaknyelvi órákon. Egy motiválóbb és természetesebb nyelvtanulási környezetet kívántunk biztosítani, amelyben a célnyelv volt a résztvevő tanulók közös nyelve. Ezen túlmenően arra is törekedtünk, hogy javítsuk a résztvevők interkulturális kompetenciáját egy olyan platform biztosításával, ahol az Általános Orvostudományi Kar magyar és nemzetközi hallgatói találkozhatnak, megismerkedhetnek, és együtt dolgozhatnak. A szemeszter végén a résztvevő magyar hallgatók véleményét félig strukturált, fókuszcsoportos interjú keretében kérdeztük meg. Az adatokat tematikusan elemeztük, és az eredmények azt mutatták, hogy a magyar orvostanhallgatók lelkesek és motiváltak voltak a szerepjátékok során, nőtt az angol nyelvi kommunikációs hajlandóságuk és ezzel együtt az órai teljesítményük is. Az interjú eredményei arra is rámutattak, hogy a közös szerepjátékkal sikerült közelebb hozni a magyar és a külföldi diákokat.
Planning needs analysis research for international students in higher education
Authors: Furka Ildikó
Published: December 2021

Research-informed language education has been a valued trend in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) around the world (Hyland, 2014; Purpura − Graziano-King 2004; Akyel − Ozek, 2010; Rao, 2014) and in Hungary (Sárdi, 1997; Édes, 2008; Doró, 2011; Prescott, 2008). EAP instruction for international students in higher education in Hungary, however, is a fairly new phenomenon (Lannert, 2018). Due to the growing number of international students studying in Hungarian higher education institutions, faculties have started to feel the need for systematic attention to students’ skills development. As part of a larger research effort to provide course design, materials development and recommendations for language teachers and subject matter instructors, an inquiry into the current situation at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) was initiated recommended by previous practice (Hyland, 2014, Purpura − Graziano-King, 2004). The paper describes the stakeholders and the background of EAP instruction at BME, the initial identification of data sources, methods of data collection, and preliminary data analysis to inform the next step of the larger research effort. Results will inform the needs analysis instruments to be used to identify the required learning outcomes, the respective language content for the course design and materials development, and the recommendations for teachers involved.

Authors: Christ Gabriela Daiana , Frohlich Samantha , Mattiello Rafael
Published: December 2021

Universities are institutions whose commitments go beyond the fields of teaching, research, and outreach. In a society that increasingly requires changes, cooperating with other actors must be a path to be followed. At the same time, internationalization has become a priority appearing on many Higher Education Institution (HEI) agenda. However, it is an open question how universities should manage the new demands proposed by society in a very fast challenging world. Therefore, the aim of this article is to provide a framework for strategic priorities which outlines steps and activities that the Western Paraná State University (UNIOESTE) should adopt as part of this transformation project through the lens of the Project Model Canvas (FINOCCHIO JUNIOR, 2013). The methodology is characterized as a qualitative study, with an exploratory character, with the collection of data through documentary research. The results show that to operate successfully in the increasingly globalized environment, Unioeste must continue to foster a commitment to internationalization and make significant efforts to integrate the international dimension into key areas of operation.
EDUCAR É SEMPRE UM ATO POLÍTICO: DESAFIOS CONTEMPORÂNEOS
Authors: Paulo Fernanda dos Santos , Trombetta Sergio
Published: December 2021

O pensamento que perpassa o texto é de que não é possível separar educação e política. A reflexão situa-sena contribuição de Paulo Freire para o campo da pedagogia e da filosofia da educação a partir da relação entre Educação e Política, sobretudo em tempos de um projeto de sociedade ultraneoliberal. Abordaremos sobre as teses centrais de Freire em mostrar que a educação é um ato político, e o discurso que se esforça em negar esse status para a educação é um discurso ideológico, pois busca encobrir a realidade através de uma pseudoneutralidade da ação educativa. Freire é incisivo em abordar essa questão; entendemos que a clareza de seu pensamento continua a elucidar essa questão em tempos de globalização excludente e da avalanche de visões neotecnicistas em educação, como ocorre nos dias atuais.

"No estamos juntas, pero estamos siempre unidas de corazón". Mujeres indígenas, sororidad y vínculos afectivos entre México y Estados Unidos
Authors: Paz Escalante Ambar Itzel
Published: December 2021

Analizaremos el proceso migratorio del pueblo otomí el cual se puede dividir en dos fases, primero como una migración nacional -de mediados a finales del siglo XX- que se dirigió a la capital mexicana, y una segunda fase -de finales del siglo XX a inicios del siglo XXI- en la cual el flujo migratorio llegó a Estados Unidos donde las personas indígenas comenzaron a trabajar sin documentos. Presentaremos dos casos en los que mujeres de diferentes generaciones -quienes emigraron en distintos momentos de su ciclo vital y de las dos fases de migración, interna e internacional-. Conoceremos y analizaremos sus relatos, poniendo especial énfasis en dos temas centrales, los vínculos afectivos en familias transnacionales y la sororidad que se da entre mujeres, familiares y amigas, para apoyarse frente a las violencias vividas.
Políticas públicas sobre transparencia, participación ciudadana y colaboración en el desarrollo de una plataforma de Estado Abierto en la Ciudad de Mendoza
Authors: Grec María Candela
Published: December 2021

El presente trabajo intenta sentar las bases de una plataforma de Estado Abierto en gobiernos locales desarrollando el marco teórico a partir de un estudio exploratorio de una selección de las principales referencias bibliográficas y sistematizando medidas y acciones sobre transparencia, participación ciudadana y colaboración. A partir de allí, se contrasta la teoría con la realidad del caso de estudio. Las acciones implementadas, ubican a la Ciudad de Mendoza como una de las más avanzadas en el desarrollo de Estado Abierto, y cuenta de ello pueden dar la membresía a la Alianza para el Gobierno Abierto en su Programa Local en octubre de 2020; o su cuatro lugar en el Índice Open Knowledge Foundation sobre transparencia en Julio 2021. Las políticas identificadas fueron superiores a las esperadas al comenzar el trabajo. Pero las mismas parecen carecer de coordinación político institucional, problemática recurrente en las Administraciones Públicas, y que la noción de Estado Abierto podría ayudar a resolver, brindando un marco de coordinación, planificación, evaluación y justificación normativa.
Educación, Estado y Hegemonía desde Gramsci: el papel de los intelectuales en la transición democrática en México
Authors: Ramírez Liberio Victorino , Soto Espinoza Yschel
Published: December 2021

El marxismo o posmarxismo y su aplicabilidad en el campo social, político o educativo en este artículo tuvo por propósito aportar elementos teórico-metodológicos a la realidad social mexicana argumentando categorías y conceptos temporales como educación, Estado, hegemonía además del papel de los intelectuales en la transición a la democracia mexicana, explicando las nuevas relaciones del Estado y la educación superior desde el pensamiento gramsciano en el sexenio 2018-2024. Se desarrollaron planteamientos relacionados a los gobiernos regidos por políticas neoliberales en los últimos treinta y cinco años en México y comparándose con el cambio de régimen actual, concluyéndose que la clave del cambio de régimen además del modelo económico reside en una reforma estructural en el contexto de un Estado nacional popular con políticas públicas legales, legítimas y transparentes enmarcado de una reforma intelectual-moral en la transición democrática de la administración sexenal (2018-2024) en el mediano y largo plazos.
