Code-switching and screen translation in British and American films and their Italian dubbed version: a socio-linguistic and pragmatic perspective
Authors: Monti Silvia
Published: September 2021

Much attention has been recently focused on exploring how a language shapes its speakers’ identity in multiethnic contexts of interaction (Carter, 2004), where linguistic identities are constantly open to renegotiation, reconstruction and reinterpretation. From this perspective, multicultural audiovisual products prove to be one of the most apt media to represent the richness and complexity of real-life multilingual realities (Bleichenbacher, 2008) within which code-switching plays a crucial role. Starting from these assumptions, this paper sets out to investigate the conversational functions code-switching fulfils in two British and two American intercultural films: Bend it Like Beckham (Chadha, 2002), Ae Fond Kiss (Loach, 2004), Spanglish (Brooks, 2004) and Gran Torino (Eastwood, 2008), where it is functional both to plot development and to the bilingual immigrants’ characterisation (Wahl 2008). In establishing a specific socio-linguistic and pragmatic framing within which code-switching seems to operate in audiovisual products, the film scripts will be analysed: looking contrastively, in both the original and the Italian dubbed version, at the translation strategies of the different types of code-switching; focusing on the scenes where code-switching emphasizes the competing visions of the world held by the two generations (Myers-Scotton, 1993); pointing out which functions of code-switching are encoded in the Italian version and which ones are lost in translation; showing what can be achieved by both dubbing and subtitling in terms of transcultural transmission in conveying the “translaguaging space” (Wei, 2011, p. 1222) the immigrant characters live in.
Constraints on and dimensions of military interpreter neutrality
Authors: Snellman Pekka
Published: September 2021

Military interpreters are soldiers assigned to interpretation duties. As soldiers, they may approach the notion of interpreter neutrality differently from civilian interpreters. This paper addresses the neutrality of military interpreters and contributes to the discussion on interpreter loyalty. The author’s own experiences and interviews with 14 Finnish military interpreters who have served in crisis management operations form the basis of this article. I examine neutrality as an ethical concept in its physical, professional, linguistic and cultural dimensions. Moreover, I explore the relationship between neutrality, loyalty, trust and identity. The results suggest that issues regarding neutrality are more complex for military interpreters than for their civilian counterparts. Furthermore, military interpreters may not always be considered neutral in the sense traditionally attributed to interpreters and with regard to the established ethical guidelines of the profession in particular.
Translation, hospitality and conflict: Language mediators as an activist community of practice across the Mediterranean
Authors: Taronna Annarita
Published: September 2021

This article reports on a research project that involved conducting interviews with a group of language mediators who assisted the newlyarrived migrants in Southern Italy by not only interpreting for them, but also advising and helping the “boat people” to claim and negotiate their rights in the hosting country. Interview questions addressed a range of urgent issues, many of which demonstrate how the practice of language mediation is particularly relevant in today’s context of migration emergency.  Indeed, it profoundly shapes how we think about terms such as language, negotiation, contact, conflict, hospitality and community, and how we consider the roles of the mediators in building effective cross-border solidarity networks in real time.  However, the interview answers do not provide an idealistic and idealized vision of welcoming the other. Rather, they outline a geography of proximity marked by the ancient hospes–hostis dichotomy that connotes the complexity, the ambiguity, the uncertainty, the unpredictability and the contingency  characteristic of relations with the other.
A functional approach to translation quality assessment: Categorizing sources of translational distortion in medical abstracts
Authors: Martikainen Hanna
Published: September 2021

The translation of Cochrane Systematic Review abstracts plays an important role in ensuring the communication of medical research results to the non-English-speaking public. The presentation of results should, of course, be free of errors and as objective as possible. Translation, however, is a highly subjective activity requiring extensive interpretation and is prone to errors. Translated Cochrane abstracts therefore contain elements that could affect readers’ interpretation of the results of a Review, and that specifically could have an impact on the effectiveness of the intervention studied. Guided by the function of these translated texts, we have categorized such sources of distortion into a context-specific typology that will be used to measure translational distortion in Cochrane abstracts. Building on previous research and empirical corpus analysis, the typology accounts not only for translation errors with considerable potential impact, but also for biased translations of phraseological and modal structures that can markedly affect readers’ interpretation of the degree of certainty expressed by authors.
Retrospective protocols in simultaneous interpreting: Testing the effect of retrieval cues
Authors: Gumul Ewa
Published: September 2021

Retrospection in simultaneous interpreting research often uses either (1) transcripts of the source text or (2) recordings of the target texts as retrieval cues. This study tested their influence on the informativeness and the accuracy of retrospective reports in addition to the verbosity of the interpreters. The study also set out to examine the participants’ perception of the cueing stimuli. The participants in the study were 36 trainee interpreters, who took part in an experiment consisting of interpreting a speech simultaneously and performing self-retrospection immediately after the interpreting task. They were divided into two groups: group A, which was exposed to a source-text transcript as the retrieval cue during retrospection, and group B, which relied on target-text recordings. The results suggest that the differences between the two retrieval cues may be less marked than is generally assumed: the three parameters of verbosity, informativeness and accuracy do not display statistically significant differences between the two experimental conditions. However, some discrepancies can be observed as far as the participants’ perception of the cueing stimuli is concerned. The results also suggest that idiosyncratic reporting styles might have more impact on the retrospective reports than the type of cueing administered.
That Synching Feeling: An Exploration of Student Engagement in an Online Environment
Authors: Kelly Kate , Lock Edward
Published: September 2021

In response to the COVID-19 epidemic, universities were forced to shift to an online, remote delivery system. This paper presents the design and evaluation of two skills-based first-year units that were adapted to a predominantly asynchronous mode of delivery. The evaluation results indicate that student engagement was high, and that students felt well-supported by the strong teacher presence throughout their units. Furthermore, the impact of this engagement and support was evident in their final grades and the overall unit completion figures. These findings indicate that individualized support, teacher presence and flexibility are key factors in student success in an online environment. This suggests that asynchronous learning can be valuable to students from various academic backgrounds providing that the content and teacher are readily accessible in various formats and that the teachers are mindful of the complexities of students’ lives outside of an academic setting.

PRESERVICE ELEMENTARY TEACHERS AND THE FUNDAMENTALS OF PROBABILITY
Authors: DOLLARD CLARK
Published: September 2021

This study examined how preservice elementary teachers think about situations involving probability. Twenty-four preservice elementary teachers who had not yet studied probability as part of their preservice elementary mathematics coursework were interviewed using a task-based interview. The participants’ responses showed a wide variety of misconceptions about the meaning of probability. In particular, when they were asked to think about the probability of an irregularly shaped object, many participants had misconceptions about the classical and frequentist interpretations of probability. These findings suggest that instruction for preservice elementary teachers should address the meaning of probability, including the subjective, classical, and frequentist interpretations of probability.

GRADUATE TEACHING ASSISTANTS’ STATISTICAL CONTENT KNOWLEDGE OF SAMPLING
Authors: NOLL JENNIFER
Published: September 2021

Research investigating graduate teaching assistants’ (TAs’) knowledge of fundamental statistics concepts is sparse at best; yet at many universities, TAs play a substantial role in the teaching of undergraduate statistics courses. This paper provides a framework for characterizing TAs’ content knowledge in a sampling context and endeavors to raise new questions about TAs’ content knowledge and its potential impact on the teaching of undergraduate statistics. The participants in this study were sixty-eight TAs from 18 universities across the United States. These TAs demonstrated considerable knowledge of theoretical probability distributions. However, they experienced tensions when attempting to quantify expected statistical variability in an empirical sampling situation and had difficulty explaining conceptual ideas of variability.

A MULTI-INSTITUTIONAL STUDY OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HIGH SCHOOL MATHEMATICS ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE IN INTRODUCTORY COLLEGE STATISTICS
Authors: DUPUIS DANIELLE N. , MEDHANIE AMANUEL , HARWELL MICHAEL , LEBEAU BRANDON , MONSON DEBRA , POST THOMAS R.
Published: September 2021

In this study we examined the effects of prior mathematics achievement and completion of a commercially developed, National Science Foundation-funded, or University of Chicago School Mathematics Project high school mathematics curriculum on achievement in students’ first college statistics course. Specifically, we examined the relationship between students’ high school mathematics achievement and high school mathematics curriculum on the difficulty level of students’ first college statistics course, and on the grade earned in that course. In general, students with greater prior mathematics achievement took more difficult statistics courses and earned higher grades in those courses. The high school mathematics curriculum a student completed was unrelated to statistics grades and course-taking.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ATTITUDES IN STATISTICS EDUCATION
Authors: RAMIREZ CAROLINE , SCHAU CANDACE , EMMİOĞLU ESMA
Published: September 2021

People forget what they do not use. But attitudes “stick.” Our article emphasizes the importance of students’ attitudes toward statistics. We examine 15 surveys that purport to assess these attitudes and then describe the Survey of Attitudes Toward Statistics, a commonly used attitude survey. We present our conceptual model of Students’ Attitudes Toward Statistics (SATS-M), which is congruent with Eccles and colleagues’ Expectancy-Value Theory (Eccles’ EVT), as well as others. The SATS-M includes three broad constructs that impact Statistics Course Outcomes: Student Characteristics, Previous Achievement-Related Experiences, and Statistics Attitudes. We briefly describe Eccles’ EVT and other theories that support our SATS-M. We relate findings from research using the SATS to our model and end with implications for statistics education.

EXTERNAL REPRESENTATIONS FOR DATA DISTRIBUTIONS: IN SEARCH OF COGNITIVE FIT
Authors: LEM STEPHANIE , ONGHENA PATRICK , VERSCHAFFEL LIEVEN , VAN DOOREN WIM
Published: September 2021

Data distributions can be represented using different external representations, such as histograms and boxplots. Although the role of external representations has been extensively studied in mathematics, this is less the case in statistics. This study helps to fill this gap by systematically varying the representation that accompanies a task between participants, and assessing how university students use such representations in comparing aspects of data distributions. Following a cognitive fit approach, we searched for matches between items and representations. Depending on the item, some representations led to better achievement than other representations. However, due to the low overall accuracy rates and various difficulties that students displayed in interpreting these representations, we cannot make strong claims regarding matches between items and representations.

EXPLORING THE ROLE OF CONTEXT IN STUDENTS’ UNDERSTANDING OF SAMPLING
Authors: WROUGHTON JACQUELINE R. , MCGOWAN HERLE M. , WEISS LEIGH V. , COPE TARA M.
Published: September 2021

Context provides meaning for data analysis and the evaluation of evidence but may be distracting to students. This research explores the role of context in students’ reasoning about sampling: specifically, the relationship between the strength of students’ opinions about a topic, which provides the context for a study, and their ability to judge the quality of the sampling method and the scope of the conclusions in the study. Data were collected at four diverse institutions in both a testing environment and through individual interviews. Student responses were analyzed using a grounded theory approach. Testing environment results showed little evidence of the use of context whereas interview results showed more evidence of reliance on context-based opinions rather than statistical principles.

USING REAL-LIFE DATA WHEN TEACHING STATISTICS: STUDENT PERCEPTIONS OF THIS STRATEGY IN AN INTRODUCTORY STATISTICS COURSE
Authors: NEUMANN DAVID L. , HOOD MICHELLE , NEUMANN MICHELLE M.
Published: September 2021

Many teachers of statistics recommend using real-life data during class lessons. However, there has been little systematic study of what effect this teaching method has on student engagement and learning. The present study examined this question in a first-year university statistics course. Students (n= 38) were interviewed and their reflections on the use of real-life data during the classes were coded into themes. Resulting themes were (a) relevant perspective in learning, (b) interest, (c) learn/remember material, (d) motivation, (e) involvement/engagement, and (f) understanding of statistics. The results indicate both cognitive and affective/motivational factors are associated with using real-life data to teach statistics. The results also suggest the features in data sets statistics teachers should look for when designing their lessons.

CHALLENGES IN SEEING DATA AS USEFUL EVIDENCE IN MAKING PREDICTIONS ON THE PROBABILITY OF A REAL-WORLD PHENOMENON
Authors: NILSSON PER
Published: September 2021

This study investigates the relationship between deterministic and probabilistic reasoning when students experiment on a real-world situation involving uncertainty. Twelve students, aged eight to nine years, participated in an outdoor teaching activity that called for reflection on the growth of sunflowers within the frame of a sunflower lottery, where students were involved in the process of creating their own empirical data of the growth. However, the study shows not only that the students do not make use of data for predicting the outcome of an uncertain event, but also how this can be explained by students’ attention to deterministic features of the situation, brought to the fore within an ecology context and connected to a conceptual principle of ‘sharing’.

Published: September 2021

This study explored threshold concepts and areas of troublesome knowledge among students enrolled in a basic biostatistics course at the university level. The main area of troublesome knowledge among students was targeted by using technology to improve student learning. A total of 102 undergraduate students who responded to structured questionnaires were included in this study. The results suggest that threshold concepts regarding “statistics” and “random sample” need to be better understood. “Confidence interval” and “hypothesis testing” were the two most frequent troublesome areas among the participants.The pedagogical role of technology in teaching and learning statistics, and the mechanisms whereby technology may improve student learning were discussed.

Desinformación visual en redes sociales y medios digitales: una propuesta taxonómica de la manipulación fotográfica distribuida durante la pandemia.
Authors: Muñiz-Velázquez Jose Antonio , Navazo-Ostúa Pablo
Published: September 2021

Este artículo presenta una aproximación al fenómeno de la desinformación visual con la intención de desarrollar una taxonomía que clasifique las técnicas empleadas en la producción de imágenes falsas en contenidos desinformativos relacionados con la aparición y desarrollo de la pandemia del COVID-19. Partiendo de una muestra de 80 ítems de contenidos visuales desinformativos en relación con la pandemia y sus consecuencias sociales, extraídos de páginas webs informativas, medios digitales y redes sociales. Se ha desarrollado sobre la muestra un proceso inductivo en cuatro fases: primeramente, una recogida y rastreo, seguido de la observación e interpretación de sus contenidos, para clasificarlos y obtener finalmente unas pautas comunes referenciales extrapolables. De este modo se busca establecer patrones vigentes que permitan catalogar las técnicas y procesos de manipulación fotográfica. Como resultado se ha obtenido una propuesta de taxonomía a modo de mapa de las tácticas que mayoritariamente se han empleado para la desinformación visual durante la pandemia. Se establecen tres segmentos clasificatorios primarios: manipulaciones ex ante, ex facto y ex post, haciendo alusión al periodo temporal en el que la alteración de la fotografía (des)informativa tiene lugar. Finalmente, surge una segunda disposición clasificatoria atendiendo a la tipología exacta de la técnica manipulativa empleada. En conclusión, queda patente el papel de la fotografía en la desinformación que afecta a la crisis pandémica actual, poniendo de relieve los diversos caminos manipulativos que la imagen puede tomar. La propuesta pretende contribuir al anhelo de quienes, ante esta pandemia doble, la vírica y la desinformativa, ven la oportunidad de reforzar una más férrea alfabetización mediática.
DIGITAL MARKETING OF AGRI-FOOD PRODUCTS IN SUPPORT OF RURAL TOURISM DURING THE COVID PANDEMIC
Authors:   Institute of Agricultural Economics, Belgrade, Serbia, Mihailović Branko , Popović Vesna ,   Institute of Agricultural Economics, Belgrade, Serbia
Published: September 2021

The paper explores the possibilities of restructuring the activities of rural tourism in Serbia, during the COVID pandemic. Having in mind the shock experienced by the tourism sector, as well as the area of rural tourism, digital marketing of agricultural and food products is imposed as one of the solutions. Namely, through online platforms and modern logistics, producers can consolidate business revenues during a pandemic, when rural tourism is almost impossible. The move can be seen as a short-term business restructuring caused by a pandemic. In that way, with the measures of state support, the area of rural tourism in Serbia can be preserved, in order to be ready for the period after the pandemic. Digitization enables small agricultural producers to survive and strengthen their market position in conditions of intensified global competition. This is achieved through digital cooperation, which can play the role of one large agricultural producer, thus achieving the effects of economies of scale, size and breadth.
IMPACT OF PANDEMIC ON SELECTIVE DEVELOPMENT OF TOURISM IN SOUTHERN AND EASTERN SERBIA
Authors:   Academy of Vocational Studies Southern Serbia, Leskovac, Serbia, Ilić Dragana , Stamenković Predrag ,   Academy of Vocational Studies Southern Serbia, Leskovac, Serbia
Published: September 2021

Natural and anthropogenic tourist values, along with the appropriate tourist infrastructure and superstructure, represent the basis for the development of tourism in an area. In modern conditions, when it comes to tourist demand, there are more and more specific motives that encourage tourists to travel. This leads to the segmentation of tourist demand and opportunities for the development of selective forms of tourism. The aim of this paper is to consider the possibilities for the development of selective types of tourism in the region of Southern and Eastern Serbia and the specifics of regional tourism development in the conditions of Covid-19 pandemic.

The American National Institute of Mental Health announced that 10% of the total adult population has some kind of phobia. With the appearance of the COVID - 19 infection, and the huge consequences it left behind, there is a growing fear of people deciding to travel. There is a growing fear of infection after a year, but also a fear of lack of money, at a time when protection measures have destroyed tourism and hospitality. About 6,000 experts, including many scientists from the UK, say Covid measures are physically and mentally harmful to health, as well as to the social environment and the economy. The authors of the paper conducted an online research on the degree of strength of two types of fear that potentially influence the decision to travel. The research was conducted during 2020, on a total sample of 250 respondents. Confirming the reliability of the questionnaire, the obtained results were processed in the software SPSS, 23.00. Descriptive statistical analysis, and multiple regression analysis, confirmed the hypothesis that fears are present in all respondents, and that both types of fears are important in predicting and making travel decisions.

Published: September 2021

Due to the pandemic crisis, the decline in cross-border travel has caused deterioration of consumption and induced the collapse of domestic consumption. Finally, the drop of the consumption in travel service affected the travel trade balance and caused decline of the economy. The aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of the pandemic shock on the touristic sector in Croatia and to measure the effect of this negative trend. The research will be conducted using the SVAR model to disclose pandemic shock. The analysis considers the effect of the pandemic shock on the performance of the tourism sector, what is approximated by CROBEX turist index. Also, the analysis tests the impact of pandemic shock on turnover of the hotel industry. The results confirm the large-scale shock in the touristic sector and implicate the importance of measuring shock in assessing future trends and proposing measures for economic recovery in Croatia.

Hospitality and tourism is one of economic braches which has been severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Finding the ways and identifying the measures for recovering from the crisis which has been lasting for more than a year is the key task of hotel managers and leaders. The main objective of this paper is to examine the state of affairs in the hotel industry that has been devastated by COVID-19 and analyze the possible tools for human resource management in hotels, all with the aim of mitigating the consequences of the crisis. Inductive and deductive research methods were used for the needs of this analysis. One of the possible solutions for overcoming the crisis of human resource management is employer brand. Investing in employer brand may result in creating specific benefits for employees - functional, economic and psychological benefits. During the pandemic, the benefits for employees are expanded to job security, health protection and psychological recovery of employees.

Published: September 2021

The new millennium brings new twists, as we are witnessing old becoming new again and cultures and cuisines repeating themselves. Culture has always followed or imposed contemporary challenges. Consequently, food culture also participates in global occurrences, such as the recurrence of economic collapses, health cataclysms, natural disasters, the consequences of climate change, etc. The 2020 global pandemic has indicated that the planet is not going in the right direction. The aim is to observe deeper meanings and paradoxes, predict the consequences and describe the role of new approaches and technologies in the traditional gastronomy of the region on the basis of empirical evidence and a case study for the location of Serbia. The dynamics of experience, authenticity, re-representations in the form of new aesthetics are being examined. New culinologies, as a combination of culinary art and food science, will define the future of food in the age of pandemic and as well as new challenges in general, in order to neutralize them or use their power for the sake of humanity.

Authors:   Faculty of Law for Commerce and Judiciary in Novi Sad, Počuča Milan , Matijašević Jelena ,   Faculty of Law for Commerce and Judiciary in Novi Sad
Published: September 2021

The Covid-19 virus pandemic has so far affected all aspects of human life and activity around the planet in an extremely invasive way. What has significantly attracted the attention of the general public is the impact of Covid-19 on the tourism sector, which, last year, suffered daily immeasurable losses. During the crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, areas with relatively low population density came to the forefront in the domain of creating a tourism offer. In times of crisis, rural areas with open, unpolluted spaces, such as protected natural areas, become very attractive and sought after. Bearing in mind that, rural areas are those parts of the territory that has a relatively low population density, but may also have certain characteristics in terms of natural, geographical, and climate specifics, also in terms of the economy, etc. The research part of this paper will deal with the ratio of tourist arrivals and overnight stays, and indexes of tourist demand in 2020 in comparison to 2019, as well as the analysis of the frequency of visitation of tourist spots in Serbia.

The COVID-19 pandemic devastated tourist turnover and caused a crisis of unprecedented proportions in the tourism economy. The strong impact of the pandemic on the tourism sector requires even stronger response of tourism policy, whose primary task is to mitigate the negative effects of the pandemic and, firstly, to propose measures to support the current tourism sector, and then measures aimed at recovering this activity and increasing its flexibility and resistance to future challenges. In this regard, the aim of the paper is to emphasize the importance of effective and responsible tourism policy in crisis situations and point out the numerous challenges faced by tourism policy makers when defining measures to support the tourism economy. By applying qualitative economic analysis, it was concluded that there is no single solution, i.e. universal measures and universal packages of assistance to the tourism sector equally applicable and effective for all countries, but that each country, when creating tourism policy, should respect its own specifics and strive to create a package of measures that will generate the best results in the national framework.

The COVID -19 pandemic made 2020 a devastating year for the tourism industry. To stop the spreading of the virus the restrictive measures such as lockdowns, have affected many economies, from which tourism suffers directly and greatly. The purpose of this study is to analyze the state of tourism at the international level and tourism in the Republic of Serbia during the pandemic, by examining the tourist arrivals and overnight stays in 2020. At the international level, the loss in tourism arrivals and receipts experience even the leading regions in tourism. Also in Serbia, there is a noticeable decrease in foreign tourist arrivals and overall tourist arrivals in 2020.
THE IMPACT OF THE CRISIS CAUSED BY COVID-19 ON WOMEN'S ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN TOURISM IN SERBIA
Authors:   Faculty of Hotel Managament and Tourism in Vrnjačka Banja, University of Kragujevac, Pavlović Nebojša
Published: September 2021

The aim of this paper is to consider the impact of the crisis caused by Covid-19 on tourism and on women's entrepreneurship in tourism in Serbia. The paper will use the methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, abstraction, specification and generalization, observation, testing, content analysis, and case study. Based on the available data, it can be concluded that the crisis caused by Covid-19 on the one hand led to (1) the closure of a large number of entrepreneurial companies in the field of tourism, as a result of which a large number of women entrepreneurs lost their jobs; (2) the increased importance of domestic tourism due to the increase in the participation of domestic tourists in total tourist trends. In the future, more attention should be paid to the possibility of training women entrepreneurs in the field of tourism.

The occurance of the COVID pandemic in 2020 caused major health problems to the population and the world economy, an economic crisis with an evident decline in financial and productive power, rising unemployment and falling living standards. Unemployment and declining living standards were reflected in tourism trends, which were largely absent in such conditions. Following the stated assumptions, the purpose and goal of this paper is to investigate the impact of the COVID pandemic in the segments of tourist trends on the example of the Istrian tourist destination. The research was conducted from a theoretical and empirical point of view. Theoretical research is focused on finding relevant insights into the impact of the COVID pandemic on tourism trends. Empirical research based on statistical indicators will determine the quantitative impact of the pandemic on tourism trends.

"COVID" or immunity passports are classified as one of the reactions to the world pandemic and its suppression at the international level. Given that implications of this document, its legal nature, the manner of exercising the right to it, etc., are still not quite clear, various dilemmas may arise regarding this document. Also, how much will another bureaucratic obligation in connection with the organization of travel affect tourism, which has suffered incredible financial losses in the past year? It is very difficult to predict the direction of development of tourism and tourist services, especially not after the adoption of the basic rules that will concern "COVID" passports. There are dilemmas about this document in the legal sense, as well as in the sense of its obligation - will each state individually decide whether it is obligatory to enter in it or will it be one of the obligations of everyone at the international level?

This paper shows that due to the closure of countries in order to reduce the possibility of spreading disease, both the number of tourists and the number of overnight stays declined. However, in the summer months and during the holidays, domestic tourists filled capacities and resourceful individuals managed to take advantage of the opportunity that arose by adjusting their offer and/or tourist product. The conducted research is based on statistical data from the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) and Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia. Given the recovery period of the tourism sector as well as the possibility of new and similar diseases in the future, communication with domestic tourists will become increasingly important, as shown by this research.

Recognition of its risk and prognostic factor is critical due to its rapid dissemination and high casefatality rate. Tourism industry as one of the greatest industries has suffered a lot in the pandemic situation. The main aim of the study was to present travelers’ reaction during the pandemic by data mining methodology. The effect of eleven predictors for COVID-19 was also analyzed. The used predictors are: population density, urban population percentage, number of hospital beds, female and male lung size, median age, crime index, population number, smoking index and percentage of females. As the output factors, infection rate, death rate and recovery rate were used. The analyzing procedure was performed by adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The results revealed that the frequency of the used words in the pandemic show the highest impact on the travelers’ reactions. Number of hospital beds and population number is the optimal combination for the best prediction of infection rate of COVID-19.

Published: September 2021

Los avances de la ciencia y la tecnología contribuyen al desarrollo educativo con la aparición de la educación virtual como una alternativa académica para las instituciones de educación superior, y como una oportunidad para miles de personas que trabajan y que necesitan una formación constante, a través de las plataformas educativas. No obstante, existe la problemática en diversas universidades respecto a la exigencia de dominio pedagógico en educación virtual, capacidades tecnológicas para manejo de la plataformas virtuales y habilidades para la producción de materiales multimedia, entre otros.

El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo compilar información en la literatura científica sobre la planificación y estructuración de los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje virtuales, aplicando el Diseño Instruccional. Como resultado se rescató, de forma estructurada, la metodología para llevar a la práctica la educación virtual, partiendo del modelo académico centrado en el estudiante, aplicado en el entorno virtual de aprendizaje, considerando los elementos del aula virtual.

Además, se ha considerado la integración del Diseño Instruccional en la planificación, organización, estructuración y digitalización de los contenidos de la asignatura módulo, tomando en cuenta sus principios y fases. Igualmente, se ha considerado la determinación de ciertas funciones del docente virtual según la secuencia didáctica de los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje que se constituyan en piezas básicas para el planteamiento de actividades pertinentes mediante el uso de herramientas simples y complejas que otorguen oportunidades de enriquecer el proceso de aprendizaje.
