Published: September 2023

The object of this study is the technological operation of removing the oxide film from the surface of the metal melt, foundry production of commercial lead, zinc. To carry out the robotization of this technological operation, it is proposed to use a manipulation robot with a spherical coordinate system. A kinematic structure of a manipulation robot with six degrees of mobility and two arms is proposed. On the first arm of the manipulation robot, a movable blade is fixed, and on the second arm, a rotary blade is fixed. With the translational movement of the first hand, the movable blade rakes the oxide film onto the rotary blade. Further, the oxide film collected on the rotary blade is thrown into a special container with a rotational movement. Restrictions are introduced on the values of generalized coordinates, velocities, and accelerations for each degree of mobility of the manipulation robot. Taking into account these limitations, for the implementation of this process, software trajectories have been developed for the degrees of mobility of the manipulation robot, which are approximated by quadratic polynomials. Each program movement is divided into three sections, in the first section acceleration with a given acceleration is carried out, in the second section movement with a given speed, in the third section braking with a given acceleration. To assess the reliability of the developed software trajectories, simulations were carried out in the MatLab software environment, version R2015b. The resulting graphs of program trajectories coincide with the calculated values of the generalized coordinates, time intervals, speeds, and accelerations of change in the generalized coordinates in terms of the degrees of mobility of the manipulation robot. The period of time required to remove the oxide film is 15.88 s. On the basis of the results obtained, a cyclogram for controlling a manipulation robot was built to perform the technological operation of removing the oxide film in the production of commercial lead, zinc

Published: September 2023

A qualitative analysis of the process of packaging liquid products (non-carbonated drinking water) using the example of a hybrid mechatronic dosing and packaging module was performed. The computer model of the mechatronic module is described by the basic operators of the Simulink program, taking into account the differential equations for changing the technological parameters of liquid dosing and the accepted initial and boundary conditions of the process. The modes of operation of the hybrid mechatronic dosing and packaging module are programmed using the driver. The boundary conditions of the process of formation and extrusion of the dose of the product are taken into account. The control system of the module is arranged on the principle of feedback and a sharp change in pressure in the portion receiver (from excess, within 3 bars to rarefaction up to –850 mbar). The analysis of individual stages of the dosing process is described, followed by the elaboration of accepted assumptions. During the tests of the computer model of the hybrid mechatronic dosing and packaging module, the accuracy of repetitions of dose formation was determined within ±0.22 % and 0.9 % of the set value of the dose mass of 50…200 ml.
An experimental bench was designed, which could provide an opportunity to check the results obtained from the computer model. The research results would allow using digital control and measuring equipment to check the accuracy of dosing of the product from 50 ml to 200 ml.
In the course of computer simulation, the effects of the given parameters of the dosing process on the accuracy of the product dose formation were determined, as well as the laws of the necessary distribution of compressed air pressure were formed to maintain the given productivity. The research results could make it possible to improve the designs of liquid product dosing modules and to determine the input parameters for field studies

The COVID-19 pandemic caused changes in the operation of children’s hospitals around the world. The prevention of the spread of infections is one of the most pressing issues faced by everyone involved in medical care. The following article reminds what the Karol and Maria Hospital for Children in Warsaw opened in 1913 did to prevent nosocomial infections. At the time, this hospital was one of the most modern in Europe, and the solutions it offered were welcomed with admiration and amazement. Even if not widely used, many of them seem relevant today.
When cordons broke and borders were born… Western Galicia Province in November 1918
Authors: Meus Konrad
Published: September 2023

The 19th century, referred to by historians as the “long century”, as it lasted from the beginning of the French Revolution (in the case of Poland, to the time of the Partitioning) to the collapse of the “old” European order in the wake of the Great War. For Poles living in the Austrian partition, the twilight of the old era came in November 1918, a month that can unquestionably be regarded as the “longest month” of the “long 19th century”. It was a month in which the situation in the counties of Western Galician changed like a kaleidoscope: from euphoria, through critical moments, to relative stability.

Euphoria took hold in Polish homes in late October and early November 1918, when Poles took control of the cities and towns scattered across Western Galicia. The euphoric state associated with regaining independence passed very quickly, and if it persisted, it was rather among those with a strong national and political consciousness. Nevertheless, for the majority of inhabitants of Western Galicia, November was a time of particular concern about what the following day would bring as issues of food, clothing, and energy shortages came to the fore. Food prices “skyrocketed”, reaching dizzying levels in the autumn of 1918. Common violence, affecting mainly the Jewish population, became a plague. Midway through November 1918, thanks to the actions taken by the Polish Liquidation Commission, a process of stabilising the social and political life began, which was reflected in the successive revival (or organisation) of “non-political” associations and the reorganisation of municipal (communal) self-government in the counties.
The influence of Ludwik Krasiński and Maria Ludwika Czartoryska on Ojców architecture at the turn of the 20th century and between the two world wars
Authors: Ziarkowska Joanna , Ziarkowski Dominik
Published: September 2023

In the second half of the 19th century, a spa was set up in Ojców, a village at the time situated by the southern border of the Kingdom of Poland. With time, it became a fashionable destination for visitors from Warsaw, and from other towns and cities located in the territory of the Russian sector of partitioned Poland. Ojców experienced its heyday early in the 19th and 20th centuries and its spa activities continued also between the two world wars. The Ojców demesne was then owned by Count Ludwik Krasiński and his daughter Maria Ludwika, from 1901 Princess Czartoryska. The latter remained the owner of Ojców until the nationalisation of the estate in the wake of the agrarian reform of 1944.

The article attempts to discuss the contribution of Ludwik Krasiński and his daughter Maria Ludwika to the architectural heritage of Ojców. It was their idea to have many buildings, particularly those that catered to the the needs of the local spa, built. Their number includes the Jadwiga and Urocza villas, and the non-extant Goplana hydrotherapy establishment. Moreover, Ludwik Krasiński and later Maria Ludwika Czartoryska ordered works on the ruins of Ojców Castle and development of the Ojców spa park. It was chiefly thanks to their efforts that certain elements of the Swiss spa architecture and subsequently also the Zakopane (Polish highland) style were introduced in Ojców. There are also certain unrealised and partially realised goals worth mentioning, for instance an attempt to restore the castle tower, the initiative to move the historical ­wooden church from Smardzowice to Ojców (ultimately, it was transferred to Mostek, a village in Miechowski County), and the concept of building an immense spa estate reminiscent of a garden city in Złota Góra initiated between the two world wars.

Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT Objectives: Analyze the donor site morbidity of the dorsalis pedis neurovascular flap in traumatic injuries with hand tissue loss. Material and Methods: The study involved dorsalis pedis neurovascular flaps that were used to reconstruct the hands of eight male patients, between 1983 and 2003, aged between 21 and 53 years (mean 34.6, SD ± 10.5 years). The size of the lesions ranged from 35 to 78 cm2 (mean 53, SD ± 14.4 cm2). Surgical procedures were performed two to 21 days after the injuries had occurred. The patients were followed up for an average of 10.3 years (ranging 8–14, SD ± 2.1 years). Results: Regarding the donor site, in one case there was hematoma formation, which was drained; in another case, the skin graft needed to be reassessed. All patients experienced delayed healing, with complete healing from 2 to 12 months after the surgery (mean 4.3, SD ± 3.2 months). Conclusion: Despite the advantages of the dorsalis pedis neurovascular flap, we consider that the sequelae in the donor site is cosmetically unacceptable. Nowadays, this procedure is only indicated and justified when associated with the second toe transfer. Level of Evidence IV; Case series .

Resumo Objetivou-se conhecer as vulnerabilidades vivenciadas pelos familiares/cuidadores de crianças com condição crônica. Pesquisa qualitativa sustentada pelo referencial teórico do filósofo francês Roselló, da qual participaram 15 familiares/cuidadores de crianças com condições crônicas. As informações foram coletadas nos anos de 2018 e 2019 e submetidas à análise temática. Os resultados são apresentados em três temas: A doença como expressão da vulnerabilidade do ser criança; A doença crônica da criança como condição de vulnerabilidade do familiar/cuidador; O suporte das redes de apoio: potencialidades e vulnerabilidades no cotidiano da criança com condição crônica e do familiar/cuidador. Conhecer os componentes da vulnerabilidade vivenciados pelas famílias das crianças com condição crônica é algo complexo, pois exige refletir sobre as situações que essas famílias enfrentam, tendo em vista suas peculiaridades, sentimentos, organização familiar e acessibilidade aos serviços de saúde. Portanto, o conhecimento acerca do contexto em que essas famílias estão inseridas é fundamental para que se possa estabelecer um planejamento adequado das ações de saúde voltadas à promoção de seu bem-estar.
Principles to Facilitate Social Inclusion for Design-Oriented Research
Authors: Wass Sofie ,   University of Agder, Thygesen Elin ,   University of Agder, Purao Sandeep ,   Bentley University
Published: September 2023

We develop principles that facilitate socially inclusive design-oriented research with marginalized groups. Building on the recognition that the research process must be informed by theoretical perspectives about social inclusion, our effort begins with an empirical investigation of a multiyear research project that designed several IT-based solutions for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We treat the efforts to design each solution as a “case,” capture primary data from multiple sources, and analyze it in light of three facets of social inclusion drawn from prior work: self-determination, belongingness, and social capital. The findings are interpreted to derive five principles for a socially inclusive design-oriented research process: (1) respecting multiperspective problem ownership and integrated solution design, (2) surfacing emic contributions to guide artifact design, (3) leveraging the support network to shape artifact design and refine research conduct, (4) customizing design-evaluate cycles with inclusive practices, and (5) pursuing authenticity in research collaborations. We elaborate each principle with connections to different facets of social inclusion, guidelines suggested by our empirical investigation, and a mapping against contemporary design-oriented research approaches. The five principles suggest key directions to facilitate a socially inclusive design-oriented research process when working with marginalized groups. The paper concludes with a discussion of implications for IS scholars, and pointers for using design-oriented approaches for greater social inclusion of marginalized populations.
Technologies of Power in Digital Inclusion
Authors: Pandey Priyanka ,   King’s Business School, Zheng Yingqin ,   Essex Business School
Published: September 2023

This study moves beyond the conventional focus on technology access, adoption, and participation
in communities, and instead presents a perspective on digital inclusion as a complex process of both
empowerment and subjugation. Drawing on Foucault’s theorization on subjectivity and power, our
case study of community health workers in rural India reveals that the adoption of an mHealth
application simultaneously subordinated and strengthened the subjectivity of the community health
workers. The study explicates the process through which the health workers oscillated between the
enhancement of their individual efficacy, and their submission to institutionalized power as
facilitated by the mHealth application during their everyday work practices. Thus, by shifting the
focus from “who” is digitally included to “how” they become digitally included, our research
provides a fresh perspective that enriches and deepens the discourse of digital inclusion. It generates
both theoretical and practical implications for anyone interested in understanding digital inclusion
from a more granulated and practice-based perspective.

Published: September 2023

Bu çalışmada bir rüzgâr tüneli kullanılarak ölçeklendirilmiş tarımsal traktör modellerine etki eden hava akışı direnci deneysel olarak tespit edilmiştir. Traktör modelleri aynı şekle sahiptir fakat kullanıcının bulunduğu bölümde üç farklı tasarım denenmiştir. Bunlar kabinle kuşatılmış platform, güneşlikli platform ve devrilme sırasında kullanıcıyı koruyacak koruma çubuklu platformdur. Böylece kullanıcı bölümünün tasarımına bağlı olarak yol içi taşımacılıkta traktörlerin maruz kaldığı hava direnci değişimleri ilk defa deneysel olarak belirlenmiş olmaktadır. Geometrik benzerlik esaslarına göre rüzgâr tünelinde kullanılan traktör modelleri 1:13 oranında hazırlanmıştır. Rüzgâr tüneli testlerinde kinematik ve dinamik benzerlik sağlanamamakta fakat Reynolds sayısı bağımsızlığı elde edilebilmektedir. Rüzgâr tüneli hava akış hızı aralığında farklı hava hızlarında deneyler yapılarak bir Reynolds sayısı aralığı taranmıştır. Bu aralıkta modellere etki eden aerodinamik direnç kuvvetleri ve traktörlerin simetri ekseninde hava akışı kaynaklı basınç dağılımları ölçülmüştür. Elde edilen ölçümlerden boyutsuz aerodinamik direnç katsayısı ve basınç katsayısı değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Hesaplamalara göre kabin kullanımı aerodinamik direnci %3-15 aralığında arttırmaktadır. Düşük hızlarda kabin kullanımı kaynaklı direnç artış yüzdesi fazlayken yüksek hızlarda azalmaktadır. Kabin kullanımı sonucunda akışa dik traktör ön izdüşüm alanı artmaktadır. Fakat aerodinamik dirençteki artış ön iz düşüm alanındaki artışa göre bir mertebe daha düşüktür. Kabin kullanımının iş güvenliği açısından sağladıkları da düşünüldüğünde kabin kullanımı kaynaklı aerodinamik direnç artışının kabul edilebilir bir maliyet olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Çalışma sonuçlarının tarımsal traktörlerle yol içi taşımacılıkta enerji tüketiminin ayrıştırılmasına katkı sağlaması beklenmektedir.
Semantic Inheritance in the Lexical Paradigms of Old English Strong Verbs
Authors: Fidalgo Allo Luisa
Published: September 2023

This work delves into the semantics of Old English lexical paradigms based on strong verbs. Its aim is to describe the patterns of semantic inheritance that hold in these paradigms, which present morphologically related words sharing the form and meaning of the base of derivation. The analysis carried out permits to circumscribe semantic derivation in these Old English lexical paradigms into the lexical entailment relations of troponymy, -troponymy, backward presupposition and cause, and the semantic relations of synonymy and opposition. The data of research has been retrieved from the lexical database Nerthus (Martín Arista et. al 2016). On the theoretical side, this examination follows the English lexical database WordNet (Princeton, 2010). This research unfolds a systematic methodology that is thoroughly described and illustrated by means of the paradigm (ge)berstan. It has not only been possible to circumscribe semantic derivation into the six semantic relations mentioned, but also to determine their frequency of occurrence in the paradigms under analysis, which indicates that synonymy and troponymy are the most recurrent semantic relations.

Published: September 2023

The aim of this population-based study is to comprehensively investigate the prevalence, severity, and management of common androgenic symptoms in individuals with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). By analyzing a diverse population sample, this study aims to provide valuable insights into the understanding and effective management of androgenic symptoms associated with PCOS. In the endocrine disorder known a PCOS, the ovaries produce an excessive number of androgens, which are male sex hormones that are typically present in women in modest amounts. The disorder known as polycystic ovarian syndrome is characterized by an abundance of small cysts (fluid-filled sacs) produced by the ovaries. Google forms-based survey data was gathered to better understand recent trends among female patients. In order to understand the pattern of androgenic symptoms in PCOS patients, the obtained replies were examined and analyzed. According to this study, hirsutism, alopecia, and acne are the most typical androgenic symptoms experienced by women. Common treatments for these symptoms include taking biotin supplements, applying minoxidil topically for alopecia, and utilizing over-the-counter acne drugs such benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. Additionally, drugs that reduce testosterone are used to treat hirsutism. These results underline how crucial it is to identify and treat androgenic symptoms in women because they can significantly affect both physical appearance and general wellbeing.

Age appropriate optimal Infant and young child nutrition is one of the a main strategy to improve under nutrition in children. Sub optimal Infant and Young Child Nutrition (IYCN) practices need to be strengthen in rural, tribal and urban mothers.

The present study was planned to assess the Knowledge and practices of lactating mothers on selected Infant and Young Child Nutrition (IYCN) practice

This study was conducted from November 2022 to February 2023. There were 34 UHC (Urban Health Centre) in the area of Urban Vadodara. One UHC was selected purposively. Informed verbal and written consent were obtained from hundred mothers before data collection. Knowledge and practices on selected IYCN practices was collected using pre tested semi structured questionnaire. Total 100 mothers were interviewed.

60% mothers were having knowledge regarding early initiation of breastfeeding but only 53% followed the correct practices. 61% of mothers were having knowledge regarding colostrum but only 58% followed correct practice. 82% mothers reported to have knowledge regarding pre lacteal but only 73% were following the correct practice. 60% knew that infant should be breastfed exclusively for 6 months but only 44% followed correct practices.

Infant and Young Child nutrition (IYCN) practices were foundto be suboptimal. There is a need to sensitize young mothers for timely and optimal IYCN practices through various counselling strategies in government programmes.
Deep bite -An insight
Authors: Chauhan Sonia
Published: September 2023

Deep bite is one of the most common malocclusion which affects children and even adults leading to a number of oral health problems. Patients with deep bite encounter periodontal and temporomandibular problems. Deep overbite refers to the increase of overlap of maxillary incisors over mandibular incisors beyond normal coverage of 30-40%. There are many factors which lead to the development of deep bite like inherent and acquired factors. Inherent factors like tooth morphology, skeletal patterns, rotation of condyle affects the bite. Acquired factors like muscle habits, loss of posterior tooth support or lateral tongue thrust may affect the bite. Deep bite can be corrected by number of different methods which include intrusion of anterior teeth, extrusion of posterior teeth or a combination of both. In non-growing patients surgical treatment is a suitable option to achieve stable results.This article describes various appliances and their biomechanics involved for correcting deepbite malocclusion

Orthodontists use various dental records such as dental models or casts for diagnosis and treatment planning which includes making of dental impressions and study casts. Conventional alginate impressions are challenging for the patients with extreme gag reflex, irritation & discomfort. Recently 3D technology has led to development of scanning and digital models, but one major concern has been the accuracy. So this study was done to compare the accuracy, time and patient acceptance between intraoral scanner and conventional alginate impression technique.

15 patients were selected. Alginate impressions were made using zhermack neocolloid. The patients were subjected to digital scanning with Medit i500 intraoral scanner. Procedures were timed. After the impressions, each patient was asked to complete survey. Tooth width measurements were made using digital vernier caliper from stone models. In the second method digital images were measured using medit link software. Anterior and overall Bolton ratio was calculated to determine accuracy.

Digital impressions are accurate and comparable to conventional impressions as tooth width measurements did not differ significantly. Conventional impression consumed more time. Patients preferred digital impressions.

Intraoral scanners are accepted by patients and they have comparable accuracy and time efficient compared to conventional impression.

Published: September 2023

Mucins are cell bound high molecular weight glycoproteins which are secreted by epithelial cells. Total 21 mucin variants are identified till date. Mucin1 (MUC1) is a transmembrane glycoprotein, which when reacts with beta-catenin, can able to enter the nucleus to activate T-cell factor/leukocyte enhancing factor 1 transcription factors and gene expression, after which it may inhibit cell-cell and cell-stroma interactions and function as a signal transducer, leading to tumor progression.

To compare and correlate the expression and positive intensity of MUC1 in oral squamous cell carcinoma, oral epithelial dysplasia and normal oral mucosa using Immunohistochemistry.

This study included a total of 45 cases in which the study groups are oral squamous cell carcinoma (n=15), oral epithelial dysplasia (n=15) and control of normal oral mucosa (n=15), which are analysed for the expression of anti MUC1 rabbit monoclonal antibody using immunohistochemical technique.

The mucin1 positive cells in the study groups were as follows, 53.3% cases in OSCC, 13.3% cases in OED and none showed positivity in normal oral mucosa. The results obtained were statistically analysed using Kruskal-Wallis test and there was a statistically significant difference in score between the different tissue groups, Kruskal – Wallis H score = 13.034, p = 0.001.

There is progressive increase in the MUC1 expression from oral epithelial dysplasia to OSCC. This utterance might be due to suppression of inhibitory proteins for MUC1 immunoexpression in mature atypical squamous cells as well as proposed to act both as an anti-adhesive and adhesive molecule.

Published: September 2023

Social Justice is a critical component of many of the helping disciplines. Similar goals govern these different disciplines, which are reflected in the scholarship of their professional training. However, the crossover in scholarship is limited. This review of social justice andragogy literature from various fields in the United States creates a conversation among these helping disciplines so that they may be able to learn from each other. From these separate realms of scholarship, the authors have derived terms and recommendations of what these disciplines may learn from one another through their shared obstacles and through processing of their work.

The effect exerted by the content of ZSM-22 zeolite (15–70 wt.%) in the support on physicochemical properties of Pt/ZSM-22-Al2O3 catalysts was investigated. The study revealed the dependence of the yield and composition of the hydrodeoxygenation products of sunflower oil obtained over these catalysts on temperature (310–340 °С), pressure (3–5 MPa) and mass flow rate (0.8–3 h–1). The possibility of complete hydrodeoxygenation of sunflower oil to obtain hydrocarbons C5+ containing up to 72 % of isoparaffins with the yield of 75–79 wt.% was demonstrated.

The possibility of exhaustive enzymatic hydrolysis of semi-bleached sulfate hardwood pulp, a semi-finished product of pulp and paper production, at its super high concentrations in the reaction mixture (up to 300 g/l) is shown. For hydrolysis, Russian commercial enzyme preparations were used, the best of them was Agroxyl Plus, which has a high activity of cellulases and endoxylanase. With the help of Agroxyl Plus (at its dosage of 20 mg protein/g substrate) in the presence of an auxiliary enzyme preparation of β-glucosidase (2 mg protein/g substrate) at an initial concentration of semi-bleached cellulose of 300 g/l, 290 g/l sugars (210 g/l glucose, 30 g/l xylose) were obtained. Due to fed-batch enzymatic hydrolysis, it was possible to halve the dosage of Agroxyl Plus (10 mg protein/g of substrate at a total concentration of semi-bleached cellulose of 300 g/l) while maintaining a high yield of hydrolysis products – 270 g/l sugars (200 g/l glucose, 30 g/l xylose).

Examples of space damages in the light of international space law
Authors: Manikowski Piotr
Published: September 2023

The issue of liability arising to third parties as a result of space activities, has been discussed by academics for nearly fifty years. It has however had a limited practical implications, due to the very few events where third party damage has been sustained. When disaster strikes third parties as well as those directly involved are financially affected. This article considers how these issues are treated under international law. Basic rules of international space law were mentioned, with a special emphasis put on liability issues. Several examples of space accidence and submitted claims were shown. (original abstract)
Evolving sophistication of trade patterns in a transition economy - machinery exports of Poland 1980-2009
Authors: Kellman Mitchell H. , Shachmurove Yochanan
Published: September 2023

Polish history leads to an expectation of exceptional adaptability to changes in the international economic environment. In the period bigenning with Solidarity at Gdansk to the present, Poland has faced huge structural dislocations. Is there any objective indication that the structural changes needed to successfully compete as a full-fledged European Union member were forthcoming? This study examines the behavior of four separate measures of embodied "sophistication." Though methodologically unrelated, these disparate indices tell a common story of rapid and substantial progress in the "battlefield" of a new member of the European Union. (original abstract)
Motives for the foundation of the ECSC
Authors: Berger Michał
Published: September 2023

The establishment of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) can be considered as a milestone for the development of European integration. It is the first concrete achievement of several centuries of reflection on European construction, the gradual evolvement from a coal and steel pooling into the Union in which we live today. The process of subordinating the nation-state order by establishing supranational Community structures was a complex development, provoking national interests, reciprocal obstacles and different methodological approaches to the subject. A fundamental issue was the fact that the coal industry problem could not be reduced to a mere question of adequate supply of raw materials in times of scarcity of coal; it was rather composed of a whole range of closely interconnected problem areas within different political and economic levels. The focus was thus, additionally set on growth, competition issues as well as socio-political aspects coupled with security policy dimensions which appeared to slow down the whole process. The present paper tries to outline the background and motivation of a European alliance within a supranational agency, the initiatives and methods that were used as well as the institutions that were needed in order to eventually transfer power to a common High Authority. The different driving forces shall be examined as well as the motivation of the main actors behind the scenes who were, in this particular case, of prominent importance. The question why Britain did not join the treaty of the six shall be examined and put in the right context. The author finds it especially crucial at present to underline how the first steps towards a European cooperation took place, in particular at a time where the integrity of the Union is being questioned. The motives for such a step will be considered in order on examine whether the decisions taken were based on economic aspects, political aspects or rather on purely external factors. This work is based around two sections and its scope is to illustrate the conceptual approach of the initial six ECSC countries to pool their resources and to go ahead with the unification project. The first section of the paper deals with the chronological order and its developments of an idea of a unified Europe which eventually became political reality. It is divided in three subsections: the period before and after WW II, the announcement of the Schuman Declaration and the negotiation process at the Intergovernmental Conference (IGC) in Paris. It will be argued that France was the main initiator in the process of this early European integration, albeit not from the very beginning, and this section will analyze the motives of France in bringing into existence the ECSC. The second section is devoted to the reactions of the other countries that were invited to join the Community and their reasons behind the decision to become signatory members of the Treaty.

Forty years of tourism education and research
Authors: Airey David
Published: September 2023

After 40 years of growth, tourism education can be found in the higher education repertoire of countries across with world. Indications of its progress can be seen in the development of popular courses that attract large numbers of students as well as in a range of research outputs in some good academic journals. However, progress in the past few years, especially since the 2008 economic crisis, has been less certain. Notably the context of higher education has changed and this has brought some problems for tourism. Increasingly it needs to justify its position in the academy, especially in terms of student recruitment, student quality, research outputs and income, and societal impacts. For many centres of tourism study this represents a challenge. This is creating uncertainty for the future. (original abstract)
