Some observations on the acquisition of evidentiality in bulgarian as a second language by native english speakers
Authors:   ", Raykova Aleksandrina ,   St. Cyril and Methodius",   University of Veliko Tarnovo
Published: November 2021

Second language acquisition of grammatical evidentiality in Bulgarian is studied through analyzing the spoken language use of a number of native English speakers. The category is found unstable at the higher levels of language proficiency, which indicates incomplete acquisition. There are cases of probable full acquisition which the current analysis cannot confirm. Suggestions regarding the role of the linguistic worldview are put forward.
Varia: Cognitive aspects of the sentence definition
Authors:   Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofa. Bulgaria, Georgieva Mariana
Published: November 2021

The analysis is based on the cognitive reading of the definitive sentence characteristics ‘predicativity’, ‘modality’, ‘intonational completeness’ and ‘grammatical formation’. The article presents the cognitive characteristic of achieving the subject-predicate structure of the sentence and hence – the predicative as its definitive characteristic. As a result of this approach to the analysis, the terminological paradigm requires appropriate specification.

Some cases of linguistic interference in Bulgarian in English-Bulgarian bilingual children and english native speakers learning Bulgarian as a second language
Authors:   ", Dimitrova Iliyana ,   St. Cyril and Methodius",   University of Veliko Tarnovo
Published: November 2021

he study examines some linguistic errors in the process of learning Bulgarian by Bulgarian-English bilingual children and by native English speakers who study Bulgarian as a second language. The emphasis is on some typical interference errors which are common (identical) for both the bilingual children’s speech and the speech of native English speakers learning Bulgarian as a second language. Based on the analyzed aberration corpus, the opinion we give is that many of the processes taking place during the acquisition of the Bulgarian language are the same for both bilingual children with English and native English speakers.

Orestes’ Tragedy of (un)awareness in Dracontius: Between Mycenae and Thebes
Authors:   Russian Academy of Education, Russian federation, Pichugina Victoria , Mozhajsky Andrej
Published: November 2021

The dramatized epic Orestis Tragoedia is one of the works of Dracontius, a poet of the second half of the 5th century, who addressed both pagan and Christian themes. In this work, Dracontius not only combines different mythological stories about Orestes and his relatives, but also highlights Orestes’ moving into adulthood as one of the main storylines. Dracontius breaks from the existing tradition, within the framework of which young Orestes was placed under the care of Strophius, the King Crissa in Phocis, and then returned to his homeland to avenge the death of Agamemnon. His Orestes is not so much a “product” of educating people who seek to implement the revenge plan, but rather a person who implements a hidden self-education program that helps him in the struggle for power. Dracontius’ protagonist is struck with a specific type of moral disease; he is portrayed either as a man who knows (= an adult) or a man who does not know (= still a child). The article also explores the use of Thebes by Dracontius as a mirror, which reflects the events of the Orestis Tragoedia. Draconius also uses the mythological tradition associated with Thebes as a means of assessing the behavior of his heroes.

A new book for teaching German as a foreign language is presented in the paper. The author, Yanka Koeva, writes about the modern dimensions of some methodological issues since learners, educational policy and social demands have changed. Considering the latest achievement in neurodidactics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics as well as the European dimensions of education policy allows the author to define the goals, principles and content of the modern foreign language teaching. Well-known traditional teaching methods are presented followed by some recently developed alternative methods. Yanka Koeva gives special attention to teaching and acquiring linguistic knowledge and skills, necessary for learners to be able to use the target language for communication; she also systematizes modern views of the teachers’ professional competencies and gives useful ideas for organizing the process of foreign language teaching.
Differences in body composition between three groups of students
Authors:   “St. Cyril and Methodius” University in Skopje, Republic of North Macedonia, Zeqiri Linda , Shukova Stojmanovska Daniela , Georgiev Georgi
Published: November 2021

The purpose of this paper was to confirm whether there is any difference in body composition between the three groups: Group1 – females (N=25) aged 19–21, Group2 – females aged 22–24, (N=27), and Group3 – males aged 19–24 years (N=22). Respectively to determine whether gender and calendar age has an impact on the body composition of women and men. The parameters of the body composition applied in this research were: height of the body (height), body weight (weight), body fat (body fat), muscle mass (muscle), daily calorie intake (kcal), metabolic age (metabolic age), total body water (water), visceral fat (visceral fat) and body mass index (BMI). Measurements were performed at the Faculty of Education in Pristina. The basic statistical and distribution parameters that have been applied in this paper are Minimum, Maximum, Mean, Std. Deviation, Skewness, Kurtosis, max-D, and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (K-S). To confirm the differences between the arithmetic mean of the groups the LSD-post hoc test was applied. The results obtained showed that differences were obtained in the arithmetic averages in all parameters of body composition between Group1 and Group2. But a statistically significant difference between these two groups has been gained in the metabolic age variable which shows that from the age of 22 in women begins a decrease in daily physical movements. Also, after processing the results by ANOVA analysis, significant statistical differences were obtained between the groups of females and the group of males, in the arithmetic mean in all variables of body composition p<0.01 (except for the variable of body composition Daily Calorie Intake (Kcal) p>0.38).

Authors:   ", Dimitrova Iliyana ,   St. Cyril and Methodius",   University of Veliko Tarnovo
Published: November 2021

This study looks at a small fragment of the Bulgarian linguistic picture of the world related to individualism/collectivism in culture. The linguocultural analysis of various sayings and words in the Bulgarian language proves a close relationship between the individual and the group in the Bulgarian linguistic picture of the world. The linguocultural analysis represents and reinforces linguistic evidence which confirms the hypothesis of a rather collectivistic type of culture in Bulgarian society.

The health and socio-economic challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic have led to greater reliance on the internet to meet basic needs and responsibilities. Greater engagement in online activities may have negative mental and physical health consequences for some vulnerable individuals, particularly under mandatory self-isolation or ‘lockdown’ conditions. The present study investigated whether changes in levels of involvement in online activities during the COVID-19 pandemic (i.e., watching TV series, online sexual activities, video games, social networks, gambling, online shopping, and instant messaging) were associated with problematic internet use, as well as whether certain psychological risk factors (positive/negative affect and impulsivity) were significant predictors of these changes. A total of 1,275 participants (66.1% female, aged between 18-55 years) completed an online survey while in lockdown in Spain (April 15th-23rd, 2020). The survey assessed current engagement in seven different online activities and their engagement prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as psychological risk factors (affect and impulsivity). Most participants (between 60.8%-98.6% depending on the activity) reported no changes in participation in online activities, but there was a significant increase in weekly internet use (between 25 and 336 min). However, increased internet use was not accompanied by a corresponding increase in problematic use, except for problematic TV series watching and video gaming. Psychological risk factors considered in the study (affect, impulsivity traits) were largely minor or non-significant predictors. Thus, increased internet use during the lockdown in Spain was not related to a proportional growth in problematic usage, suggesting that these behavioral changes may constitute adaptive coping strategies in the context of the pandemic.
Gender differences in videoed accounts of victim blaming for revenge porn for self-taken and stealth-taken sexually explicit images and videos
Authors: Attrill-Smith Alison , Wesson Caroline J. , Chater Michelle L. , Weekes Lucy
Published: November 2021

Using video recounts from revenge porn victims, this study explores whether levels of victim blaming differs for the sharing of self- and stealth-taken sexually explicit images and videos. Building on previous work which has demonstrated victim blame for both self- and stealth generated images in occurrences of revenge porn (Zvi & Schechory-Bitton, 2020), the reported study presents an original and ecologically valid methodological approach whereby 342 (76 male, 266 female) participants (Mage = 39.27, SD = 11.70) from the UK watched videoed accounts of real experiences of falling victim to revenge porn, rather than using text based, often fictional, vignettes to attribute blame which dominate studies in this area. All data was collected in 2019. The results demonstrated that significantly more blame was assigned to victims when participants were indirectly rather than directly asked who was to blame for the occurrence of revenge porn, supporting the notion of an unconscious processing bias in attributing blame. More blame was also assigned to those victims who themselves generated the material compared to when it had been acquired without their awareness by a perpetrator, suggesting the cognitive bias to be in line with a just world hypothesis. Male participants were more likely to blame a victim than were female participants, although sex of victim and mode of shared sexually-explicit material (video or image) did not appear to affect levels of victim-blame. Findings are considered in terms of extant research and the need for future work in the area of victim blame and revenge pornography.
The selfie production model: Rethinking selfie taking, editing, and posting practices
Authors: Qutub Afnan
Published: November 2021

With the rise of digital technologies, selfies are a contemporary and popular form of digitally produced self-expression for Saudi women. Informed by Goffman’s (1959) self-presentation theory and Hall’s (1966) proxemics theory, this study explores the process of producing and posting selfies on Instagram and Snapchat platforms, and examines how these practices are shaped by cultural norms and platform affordances. Methodologically, an ethnographic approach was employed to observe selfie practices involving: focus groups, face-to-face interviews, online observation, and photo-elicitation interviews. The sample consisted of 35 Saudi women between 18-57 years old. The results were used to develop a framework for understanding selfie production consisting of six processes: the motivation process, pre-photo process, platform affordances process, audience customization process, assessment of cultural norms process, and the process of reposting selfie. Also, the study identified a number of strategies practiced by Saudi women to present a more desirable self, including: digitally editing the selfie using beautifying filters, arranging the background, retaking the selfie, and adding digital makeup. Cultural norms were found to heavily influence selfie practices, as selfie takers carefully select particular audiences with whom to share the selfie, while blocking others from viewing the selfie using “virtual walls” depending on veiling practices, habitual proximity, and the appropriateness of the content. The model and the identified strategies make an important empirical contribution that provides a new way of thinking about selfie practices outside Euromerica.

TRAIL Spotlight: Ionospheric Radio Propagation
Authors: Curtis Scott
Published: November 2021

How can our radios receive signals from stations beyond our line of sight? One common mode of transmission and reception of radio waves is “skywave,” or ionospheric propagation. In skywave transmission, a radio station transmits medium or high frequency (MF or HF) radio waves away from the Earth and toward the ionosphere, an atmospheric layer extending from approximately 50-400 miles (approximately 80-640 km) above the ground. The ionosphere gets its name from the high concentrations of charged ions and free electrons present at this altitude. These charged particles act as a mirror for the transmitted radio waves, reflecting them back toward Earth. The skywave can bounce once, or many times, between the ionosphere and the Earth, before reception by a radio receiver. We experience skywave reception with long-distance AM radio reception, as well as for shortwave radio and many of the radio bands used by amateur radio “hams.”
Designing and Marketing a LibGuide for Presidential Papers
Authors: Denton A. Blake
Published: November 2021

When I joined the faculty at the Fred J. Taylor Library at the University of Arkansas at Monticello (UAM) in July 2019, I became the coordinator of our institution’s Federal Depository Library Program and Arkansas Documents repositories. As I began inspecting our collections, I discovered that documents were dispersed throughout the library. Though the library has a designated Government Documents Collection cataloged under the SuDoc classification scheme, numerous documents were cataloged under the Library of Congress classification as well. Compounding this issue, documents classified under LC were distributed across various collections. The distribution of government documents across multiple collections is not unique to UAM, and is a common problem among FDLP depositories. Having government documents classified under different schemes and shelved in multiple collections can lead to discrepancies in cataloging, particularly as personnel change over time. Finding multiple split-cataloged series in our collections convinced me that, with rare exception, documents should be consolidated into a revamped Government Documents Collection.
More Than a Domain: An Approach to Embedding Government Information Within the Instruction Landscape Using Active and Passive Collaboration
Authors: Simms Sarah , Johnson Hayley
Published: November 2021

While the state of government information librarianship continues to evolve alongside the libraries in which those librarians work, there remains a consistent lack of full integration of government information into the instruction landscape. The reasons for this have been covered within the literature as well as suggestions on how to overcome those barriers. Even with this literature, a gap in implementation remains. This article highlights the collaborative partnership between a government information librarian and student success librarian that attempts to bridge the gap between scholarship and practice in the hopes of creating a more robust government information presence in the academic instruction landscape at their university both in the classroom and beyond.
Improving the Freedom of Information Act Through the Office of Information Policy
Authors: Webb Chelsea
Published: November 2021

Government transparency is a modern expectation of the United States of America’s government operations. Information transparency can be found from presidential records to congressional hearings and can be found in places such as the Congressional Record, GPO databases and programs, and many other databases that house or link to government information. The Freedom of Information Act does well to ensure that citizens are able to stay informed and have the ability to request access to some federal agency information. In addition to this, the DOJ has the Office of Information Policy (OIP) that has set focus on continually improving the FOIA by launching an Open Government Initiative in 2010 and releasing three additional revisions by 2016. All plans continue to increasingly evolve the OIP, while dissecting the efficacy of the Open Government Initiatives across agencies that are required to disseminate information to the public. Exploration of dissemination of information relating to the OIP and the prevalence of access issues are discussed.

Intergroup threat and affective polarization in a multi-party system
Authors: Renström Emma A. , Bäck Hanna , Carroll Royce
Published: November 2021

What explains affective polarization among voters and societal groups? Much of the existing literature focusing on mass political polarization in modern democracies originates in the US, where studies have shown that, while ideological separation has grown, political conflict increasingly reflects social identity divisions rather than policy disagreements, resulting in affective polarization. We focus on explaining such polarization in a multi-party context. Drawing on social identity theory and intergroup threat theory, we hypothesize that individuals who perceive an intergroup threat show stronger intergroup differentiation and increased affective polarization. We analyze the influence of perceived threat on affective polarization drawing on two large-scale representative surveys in Sweden (N = 1429 and 1343). We show that individual-level affective polarization is related to perceived intergroup threats among the voters in both studies, measuring affective polarization using social distance, negative trait attribution, and party like-dislike ratings.
Search and restore: a study of cooperative multi-robot systems
Authors:   , Haire Matthew Samuel
Published: November 2021

Swarm intelligence is the study of natural biological systems with the ability to transform simple local interactions into complex global behaviours. Swarm robotics takes these principles and applies them to multi-robot systems with the aim of achieving the same level of complex behaviour which can result in more robust, scalable and flexible robotic solutions than singular robot systems. This research concerns how cooperative multi-robot systems can be utilised to solve real world challenges and outperform existing techniques. The majority of this research is focused around an emergency ship hull repair scenario where a ship has taken damage and sea water is flowing into the hull, decreasing the stability of the ship. A bespoke team of simulated robots using novel algorithms enable the robots to perform a coordinated ship hull inspection, allowing the robots to locate the damage faster than a similarly sized uncoordinated team of robots. Following this investigation, a method is presented by which the same team of robots can use self-assembly to form a structure, using their own bodies as material, to cover and repair the hole in the ship hull, halting the ingress of sea water. The results from a collaborative nature-inspired scenario are also presented in which a swarm of simple robots are tasked with foraging within an initially unexplored bounded arena. Many of the behaviours implemented in swarm robotics are inspired by biological swarms including their goals such as optimal distribution within environments. In this scenario, there are multiple items of varying quality which can be collected from different sources in the area to be returned to a central depot. The aim of this study is to imbue the robot swarm with a behaviour that will allow them to achieve the most optimal foraging strategy similar to those observed in more complex biological systems such as ants. The author’s main contribution to this study is the implementation of an obstacle avoidance behaviour which allows the swarm of robots to behave more similarly to systems of higher complexity.

LINGVISTIKA U NEVERBALNOJ KOMUNIKACIJI
Authors: Starčević Sabadini Nada
Published: November 2021

Poznato je da se čovek i sav njegov ambijent izražavaju bilo znakovima ili simbolima i da su to kodeksi komunikacije, koju treba da prevedemo, dekodifikujemo da bismo se razumeli. Ako je sve način komuniciranja, jer ne postoji nekomunikacija, onda možemo da kažemo da verbalni deo ima najmanji udeo u čitavoj komunikaciji. Ako malo bolje proučavamo koje su to manifestacije koje govore o nama, onda možemo uspeti da ih podelimo u dve grupe: fizička (manifestacije, znači, simboli koji su često otisak kulture) i emocije (osećaji odnosno onaj deo ličnosti koji će često „izleteti” iz racionalnog kaveza i reći nešto o nama što ne želimo i otkriti naše podsvesne namere i mišljenja).
UTICAJ ODNOSA MEDIJA I POLITIKE NA JAVNOST
Authors: Vilendečić Jovo , Vilendečić Simeun
Published: November 2021

Mediji su uvijek imali bitnu ulogu politici, jer mogu u značajnoj mjeri oblikovati mišljenje i ponašanje javnosti, što je danas izraženije nego ikada do sada. Ponavljanjem i isticanjem određenih vijesti daju do znanja šta je bitno za društvo, a zanemarene vijesti brzo postaju marginalizovane i istisnute iz pažnje javnosti. Na taj način se javnost usmjerava na određene odluke i pravce djelovanja u svim sferama života, uključujući i politiku. Političari su prepoznali medije kao efikasno sredstvo za ostvarenje svojih ciljeva, te se debate i vijesti političkog sadržaja svode uglavnom na pobuđivanje emocija u javnosti, a sve manje na konstruktivan dijalog i upoznavanje javnosti sa bitnim činjenicama korisnim za formiranje informisanog stava glasačkog tijela. U vrijeme kada sadržaj postaje sporedan i kada je interpretacija događaja učestalija od objektivnog prenošenja svih okolnosti u vezi sa događajem, mediji i politika su prilagodili i uspostavili odnose koji im omogućavaju ostvarenje njihovih ciljeva. Problem je što se ciljevi javnosti i ciljevi medija i političara često ne poklapaju. Možda rast cinizma i senzacionalizma u medijima ne povećava netrpeljivost i nepovjerenje u javnosti, ali sigurno ne doprinosi ni njenoj boljoj informisanosti. Trenutno stanje je logična posljedica poslovnih interesa, ali i interesa javnosti za zanimljivosti. Kada se tačna i kompletna informacija bude više cijenila i tražila, biće zastupljenija i u medijima i u politici.

Finansijska pismenost u Republici Srpskoj danas je na višem nivou nego ranijih godina iako se savjeti o upravljanju novcem traže tek nakon suočavanja sa problemom koji je vezan za lični budžet. Da bi se ovakvi problemi izbjegli, potrebno je naučiti kako se novac troši i štedi, te se upoznati sa svim što sa sobom nose finansijski proizvodi i usluge, kojih je u savremenim uslovima poslovanja sve više. S ciljem procjene i evaluacije finansijske pismenosti mladih u Republici Srpskoj sprovedeno je istraživanje na uzorku od 208 osoba starosne dobi od 18 do 25 godina, a rezultati pokazuju srednji nivo finansijskog znanja. Mlade u Republici Srpskoj uglavnom finansiraju roditelji, više od polovine mladih štedi, a njih 60% drži novac kod kuće.

Organizaciona kultura predstavlja deo opšte kulture. Tradicija, običaji, navike, sistem vrednosti, stavovie, merila predstavljaju kulturu. Organizaciona kultura se predstavlja kao sistem pretpostavki, vrednosni način ponašanja. Izvor organizacione kulture i motivacije je u samom pojedincu, a cilj je uspešno izvršenje posla i zadovoljstva koje iz toga proizlazi. O motivaciji i organizacionoj kulturi kod nas se mnogo govori, nesporno se priznaje njen veliki značaj za uspeh u radu i kvalitetu. Radnici su motivisani na razne načine. Jedan od glavnih faktora motivisanja je novac odnosno zarade. Pojam motiva podrazumeva pokretač ljudske aktivnosti pa se može reći da motivacija predstavlja sastavni i pokretački deo svake ličnosti. Motivacija usmerava ponašanje u pravcu zadovoljenja određenih bioloških, psihičkih i socijalnih potreba i utiče na intenzitet i trajanje aktivnosti.

The dorsal raphe nucleus (DR) and median raphe nucleus (MR) contain populations of glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons that regulate diverse behavioral functions. However, their whole-brain input-output circuits remain incompletely elucidated. We used viral tracing combined with fluorescence micro-optical sectioning tomography to generate a comprehensive whole-brain atlas of inputs and outputs of glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons in the DR and MR. We found that these neurons received inputs from similar upstream brain regions. The glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons in the same raphe nucleus had divergent projection patterns with differences in critical brain regions. Specifically, MR glutamatergic neurons projected to the lateral habenula through multiple pathways. Correlation and cluster analysis revealed that glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons in the same raphe nucleus received heterogeneous inputs and sent different collateral projections. This connectivity atlas further elucidates the anatomical architecture of the raphe nuclei, which could facilitate better understanding of their behavioral functions.

The rite of Seeing Off a Recruit is one of the most relevant Udmurt family rite traditions that is still performed. Conscription is of particular importance in the life of the Udmurt family and recruit. This article aims to study the songs performed in the rite, and more precisely, their functions of performance at different stages such as the symbolic patterns and items that build a connection between the rite songs and the rite itself. The ethnographic data collected is based on the tradition of the village of Chutozhmon, Malaya Purga District in the Udmurt Republic of the Russian Federation. Through analysis of the data, I construct a detailed description and scenario for the rite of Seeing Off a Recruit. The model for the rite is similar in all Udmurt traditions, although the song component is rather different depending on the village. The original songs and tunes used in the village of Chutozhmon are well preserved and create a complete picture of the rite, thus it has been possible to thoroughly research it.

We dedicate this article to Tatiana Grigor’yevna Vladykina. Let us list her titles: Doctor of Philology, Professor, leading researcher at the Udmurt Research Institute, author of more than three hundred publications (monographs, popular-science publications, didactic writings, scientific articles), honoured scientist of the Udmurt Republic. It is impossible to overstate Tatiana Vladykina’s contribution to the development of Udmurt folkloristics in particular, and Russian folkloristics in general. We do not exaggerate when we say that she is the leading folklorist not only in the Udmurt Republic, but also in the whole Urals–Volga region. Her dedication to research, her selfless work, her uninterrupted self-improvement and endeavours to find new fields and results, her fidelity to her people, these are some of the fundamental personal qualities that have determined her biography and scientific career.
Grateful Remembrances

I perfectly remember my first meeting with Tatiana Grigor’yevna Vladykina. I had just arrived in Udmurtia and entered University. I studied Udmurt theatre and had joined a folklore group. Tatiana Grigor’yevna had heard about me from my teacher, professor Vladykin, who had become my second father. She asked about my situation, how my studies were going, whether everything was all right. She has always been characterised by modesty and sensitivity, the ability to unobtrusively offer help and support.
A Mind That Understands Words…

I once had the honour of becoming acquainted not with Tatiana Vladykina, but with Tatiana Perevozchikova. It was so long ago… It was in 1985, in Syktyvkar, the capital of the Komi Republic. It was an exciting Finno-Ugric scholarly congress: for the first time, Western Finno-Ugrists were allowed to visit a Finno-Ugric region in Russia, and to meet many more Russian colleagues than the Congresses abroad could host. It was also a treat to many Eastern European scholars, who accessed for the first time Russia’s Finno-Ugric regions, which they had been working on for decades. It was the beginning of the opening up, the first swallow: some five years later, it became possible to access many other regions. The Tatiana Perevozchikova whom I met had just published one, or perhaps even more books, in the Golden zither series, collections of Udmurt folklore with Russian translations, my first contact with Udmurt folk culture. I am sure that there remained much I could not access, as I did not know anything at the time about folk culture in general and Udmurt folk culture in particular. But I remember the day Tatiana offered me that book.
Misinformation effects in an online sample: results of an experimental study with a five day retention interval

Traditional face-to-face laboratory studies have contributed greatly to our understanding of how misinformation effects develop. However, an area of emerging concern that has been relatively under-researched is the impact of misinformation following exposure to traumatic events that are viewed online. Here we describe a novel method for investigating misinformation effects in an online context. Participants (N = 99) completed the study online. They first watched a 10-min video of a fictional school shooting. Between 5 and 10 days later, they were randomly assigned to receive misinformation or no misinformation about the video before completing a recognition test. Misinformed participants were less accurate at discriminating between misinformation and true statements than control participants. This effect was most strongly supported by ROC analyses (Cohen’s d = 0.59, BF10 = 8.34). Misinformation effects can be established in an online experiment using candid violent viral-style video stimuli.

Este estudo analisa a influência da reputação da marca, da qualidade da informação do site e a presença de comentários, avaliações e recomendações típicos do comércio social, na confiança e intenção de compra dos consumidores brasileiros e uruguaios de agências de turismo online. O estudo foi realizado a partir de uma pesquisa survey aplicada a 249 brasileiros e uruguaios que afirmaram fazer uso de sites de viagens e turismo regularmente. Os resultados apontam a reputação da agência como principal preditor da confiança em ambos os países, e esta influenciando fortemente a intenção de compra dos consumidores. Os resultados também sugerem que tanto as recomendações online quanto a qualidade da informação do site são importantes antecedentes da confiança, não havendo diferenças significativas quanto ao comportamento de compra dos consumidores analisados. O estudo aponta para a presença de uma cultura latino-americana superior à cultura nacional de brasileiros e uruguaios quanto ao turismo online. As descobertas aqui obtidas trazem contribuições teóricas e gerenciais que podem auxiliar pesquisadores e profissionais das áreas de Turismo, Marketing e Tecnologia da Informação interessados em empresas que atuam em mais de um país ou com consumidores de diferentes culturas nacionais, seja elaborando estratégias mercadológicas ou aprimorando suas plataformas.

Authors: Santos Luiz Henrique de Oliveira
Published: November 2021

O presente artigo tem como objetivo realizar um diagnóstico da estrutura física e observar a distribuição espacial dos atrativos turísticos naturais do Circuito Terras Altas da Mantiqueira, sul de Minas Gerais – Brasil e, com isto, apresentar a possibilidade de inserção de ferramentas geográficas (geoprocessamento e geossistemas) no planejamento turístico da localidade. Para se chegar às conclusões foram criados mapas utilizando: trabalhos acadêmicos de perspectiva geossistêmica sobre a região, arquivos oficiais de órgãos do governo (IBGE, IDE-SISEMA) e dados coletados pelo Inventário Municipal de Turismo de 2017, com o objetivo de espacializar os atrativos naturais da região, em um contexto complexo. Como resultado, o levantamento se apresentou útil na compreensão dos espaços, tanto para o planejamento, quanto para facilitar a metodologia de avaliação dos formulários de pesquisa. Outro ponto relevante abordado é a necessidade de um alinhamento metodológico na aplicação do Inventário Municipal de Turismo.
