Authors: Matijová Mária , Šenková Anna , Dzurov Vargová Tünde , Matušíková Daniela
Published: December 2023

Sustainable tourism is a challenge for current and future generations in an effort to develop it in the spirit of maintaining a balance between its basic pillars: economic, social and environmental. The presented contribution aims to identify the differences of significant social, economic, and environmental indicators with the tourism indicator. The analysis was carried out at the level of NUTS 1 - the Slovak Republic and at the level of NUTS 3 - Prešov self-governing region. In the first phase of the research, 6 significant indicators were identified at the level of the Slovak Republic and at the level of the Prešov self-governing region 5 significant indicators with tourism indicators. Comparison of significant indicators was carried out using torque characteristics of shape, position, variability and through a set of tests - Mann Whitney test, Levene test, and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The differences between the indicators at the national and regional level were shown to be significant every time, regardless of whether the indicator was identified as significant, primarily in relation to the number of overnight stays at the national or regional level. The documented results point to the heterogeneity of the quality, and also the quantity of social, economic, and environmental indicators with the tourism indicator at the national and regional levels. It can be concluded that the sustainable development of tourism at different levels is conditioned by different indicators. This fact should be considered by the state economic policymakers and other tourism industry entities.
Social Perception and Attitude Towards International Sporting Events of Local Residents
Authors: Máté Tünde , Kajos Attila
Published: December 2023

Sporting events are central to the world of professional sports, making the acceptance and support of these events critical to their success. Our study aimed to analyse the relationship between opinion formation (support or opposition) and general attitudes toward sporting events in Hungary. And also to explore how attitudes towards sporting events differ from those who do not. To determine the connection and effects of the model, we use Covariance-based Structural Equation Modelling (CB-SEM), while in order to analyse the differences of supporter types we concluded a Cluster analysis. The latent variables of the developed SEM model had high internal consistency and good reliability, while the model had good psychometric properties. The results indicate that attitude has a significantly positive effect on perceived positive impacts of sports events (=0.93), explaining 87% of its variance, while it also has a significantly negative effect on perceptions of negative impacts of sporting events (>=-0.42). In addition, there is a strong direct effect between positive attitudes towards sports events and their positive perception. Through cluster analysis, we identified four significantly distinct groups: "Opponents" (13.5%), "Indifferent" (28.6%), "Rational Supporters" (29.4%), and "Enthusiastic Supporters" (28.6%). Most of the respondents agreed that international sporting events can enhance the image of the host city, promote economic development, and stimulate the local economy. However, perceived negative effects were driven by political reasons, such as government support for sports and lack of information. Therefore, our findings suggest that education and the provision of accurate information can help increase support for similar sporting events.

Applying Push and Pull Theory to Determine Domestic Visitors’ Tourism Motivations
Authors: Duong Lang Ngoc , Pham Long Hong , Hoang Thao Thi Phuong
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the study was to determine the motivations driving domestic tourists’ travel decisions to Vietnam’s Central Highlands. These motivations are categorized as originating from within the tourists themselves (push) and as being shaped by the attractiveness and external attributes of the tourist destination in the Central Highlands (pull). Additionally, the study aimed to examine how demographic factors such as gender and age influence these motives. To conduct this research, the authors gathered relevant studies and expert opinions to construct a research model. A total of 745 visitors were surveyed over a period of more than two months. The collected data was quantitatively analyzed using two tools: SPSS and AMOS. The findings indicated that three factors impact push motivation: personal factors, escapism, and knowledge and cultural experiences. Furthermore, three elements influence pull motivation: destination information and accessibility, the destination’s unique image, and personal factors. Gender and age exhibited significant effects on these aspects at various levels, except for males, who had no influence on the escapism factor. These findings provide valuable insights for the Central Highlands tourism sector, enabling tourism managers and stakeholders to adjust their services and marketing strategies to better cater to the preferences and demands of domestic visitors. Moreover, the outcomes of this study could be applied to other regions with similarities, such as the Northwest region of Vietnam, the mountainous areas of the central provinces of Vietnam (challenging regions with diverse ethnic minorities), or analogous areas worldwide.
Travellers’ Attitude and Intention towards post Covid-19 Travel: The Moderating Role of Traveller Personality Type
Authors: Abou-Shouk Mohamed , Bayoumy Mohamed , Alzboun Nidal , Al-Leheabi Saleh Muhammad Zeki , Abdel-Jalil Marwa
Published: December 2023

COVID-19 has crucially changed the motivations, attitudes, and behaviours of travellers. This study explores the shifts in travel attitudes after the COVID-19 pandemic and how these changes affect the intention for upcoming travels. It investigates the moderating role of the traveller personality in forming the relationships between travel attitude’s antecedents and future travel intention. The study adopts the deductive approach and employs the quantitative method to achieve its aim. It compares the perceptions collected via a questionnaire from random travellers from three countries: UAE, Egypt, and Jordan. PLS-SEM is used for data analysis. It is revealed that protection motivation intentions, destination selection factors, and travel patterns/ arrangements predict travel attitudes post the pandemic. Cautious travellers are highly concerned with protection intentions and destination selection post-epidemic compared with normal travellers. Findings help us understand the shifts in travel attitudes and intentions after the pandemic. Understating the influence of the epidemic on tourists’ attitudes and intention to travel post-pandemic is strongly needed to accelerate tourism recovery and ensure a safe travel environment for tourists. Theoretically, the study responds to the research calls for examining the changes in travel motivations, attitudes, and behaviours. Practically, the study profiles travellers based on their travel personality (i.e., cautious versus normal travellers) and identifies the characteristics of each category. This will help destination marketers and service providers to adopt the relevant strategies to meet the tourists’ needs, expectations and fears in the post-pandemic new normal.

The main purpose of this study was to establish a theoretical framework for researchers concerning studies on dimensionality and reveal trends in studies on dimensionality. Therefore, the bibliometric features of publications on dimensionality
in the Web of Science (WOS) database were analyzed using the Biblioshiny interface in R programming language. The study determined which studies on dimensionality were effective in education and psychology, which concepts were
associated with these concepts throughout the years, and which authors and countries contributed to the progress of studies on this concept. A total of 1726 authors’ studies on dimensionality in education and psychology, published
between 1970 and May 2023, were reached. The number of citations was 26.49 on average. Out of 1726 authors, 132 single-author articles were published. The number of articles written on dimensionality started to increase from 2003
on, with fluctuations in the rate of increase until 2012. However, since 2012, there has been a rapid increase in the number of articles on dimensionality. The study found that the average annual citation count increased from 6.7
in 1977 to 79.23 in 2011. The journal with the highest number of published articles on dimensionality was Psychological Reports, which has published 38 articles. Another finding indicated that Schumm Wr, Longan Cj, and Marsh Hw
had the most publications on dimensionality. The most commonly used keyword regarding dimensionality was model. Turkey had cooperation on dimensionality research with several countries, such as the United States, Romania, Canada,
Brazil, and China. Studies on dimensionality clustered around topics, such as multidimensionality, unidimensionality, validity studies, and measurement models.

Published: December 2023

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis dasar pertimbangan hakim dalam menemukan dan memutuskan perihal pelepasan aset atas dasar akta pernyataan keputusan rapat umum pemegang saham (RUPS) serta untuk menganalisis akibat hukum jual beli atas aset perseroan terbatas yang didasari oleh akta pernyataan keputusan rapat umum pemegang saham (RUPS). Metode penelitian hukum yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian hukum normatif. Bahan hukum diperoleh melalui studi pustaka yakni dengan memperoleh bahan hukum melalui buku-buku teks, jurnal, makalah, artikel, dan bahan lainnya yang tersedia di perpustakaan ataupun internet. Berdasarkan penelitian dan analisis yang peneliti lakukan, Majelis Hakim Pengadilan Negeri Tangerang menyatakan bahwa gugatan yang diajukan oleh PT. Nisshinkan Indonesia dinyatakan tidak dapat diterima karena dianggap kurang pihak. Namun, hakim pengadilan tinggi justru menyatakan bahwa sepenuhnya menjadi hak PT. Nisshinkan Indonesia selaku Penggugat terkait Romeo Ura yang tidak dijadikan sebagai Tergugat. Dalam kasus yang terjadi pada PT. Nisshinkan Indonesia, dimana organ perseroan tidak hanya berdomisili di Indonesia, maka prinsip kehati-hatian yang harusnya dilakukan oleh Notaris Lusi Indriani, SH., MKn., adalah: (a) melakukan pengenalan terhadap identitas penghadap; (b) memverifikasi secara cermat data subyek dan obyek penghadap; (c) bertindak hati-hati, cermat, dan teliti dalam proses pengerjaan akta; dan (d) memenuhi segala teknik syarat pembuatan akta. Untuk akta pernyataan keputusan rapat (akta PKR) yang termasuk jenis akta partij sehingga isinya merupakan keterangan dan kehendak yang disampaikan oleh para pihak di hadapan Notaris. Sehingga, Notaris tidak bertanggung jawab atas isi dari akta pernyataan keputusan rapat tersebut. Meski Notaris tidak bertanggungjawab atas kebenaran materiil, namun sebelum membuat akta pernyataan keputusan rapat (akta PKR), notaris harus berhati-hati dalam melihat dan memeriksa kelengkapan dokumen yang dibawa oleh Direksi atau pihak yang diberi kuasa datang ke hadapannya.

ATIVISMOS E NOVOS DISCURSOS SOBRE SEXUALIDADE DE PESSOAS COM DIVERSIDADE FUNCIONAL: um olhar sobre as movimentações queer-crip através da experiência Yes, we fuck!
Authors:   , ROCHA LOUISE LIMA STORNI
Published: December 2023

Tendo como eixo potencial as alianças queer e crip e o uso de categorias de interseccionalidades como gênero, sexualidade e diversidade funcional, a pesquisa realizou uma análise das diferentes estratégias de ativismos do grupo criador do projeto Yes, we Fuck!, situando suas origens, tensões, potencialidades políticas e desafios. A aliança deste grupo com coletivos transfeministas, sediados na cidade de Barcelona (Espanha), se mostra essencial para desnaturalização de categorias referentes à normatização corporal. Por meio de uma pesquisa qualitativa que utilizou métodos como análise de material documental, entrevistas semiestruturadas e observação participante, foram percebidas, sobretudo, como as novas representações sobre a sexualidade de pessoas com diversidade funcional, refletidas nas ações/projetos audiovisuais dos grupos, contribuem de forma decisiva para o deslocamento do imaginário conservador em direção à atualização de novos discursos e, consequentemente, na difusão de estratégias micropolíticas em torno da sexualidade e dos direitos sexuais e reprodutivos de pessoas com diversidade funcional.

A Survey on Mosquito Control Knowledge and Insecticide Use in New Orleans, La, 2020–2021
Authors: Cloherty Erin R. , Mcallister Janet C. , Ottea James A. , Healy Kristen , Riegel Claudia
Published: December 2023

Mosquitoes are a known public nuisance and can vector various diseases. Historically, New Orleans, LA, has long been acquainted with the burden of mosquito-borne diseases, such as malaria and yellow fever in the 20th century and West Nile virus in the 21st century. Government mosquito control awareness campaigns have been around for decades as has the use of organophosphate and pyrethroid insecticides by mosquito abatement districts. However, few data are available on public perception of mosquito control and public usage of insecticides to kill mosquitoes in New Orleans. We conducted a survey from August 2020 to July 2021 to evaluate New Orleans residents’ 1) general knowledge regarding mosquito control and 2) what measures and products they use to control mosquitoes. The aim of this survey was to determine how residents contribute to backyard mosquito control by do-it-yourself or professional applications of insecticides. The survey was disseminated both online and via mail. Of the 396 survey participants, nearly all (99.48%) agreed that mosquito control is important in New Orleans because it prevents mosquito bites (30.85%), prevents mosquito borne-diseases (38.51%), and prevents nuisance mosquitoes (29.17%). More than one-third (35%) of survey participants indicated that they empty containers to reduce adult mosquitoes on their own property. More than two-thirds of the participants (69.95%) would not hire a pest management professional to spray their yard for adult mosquitoes, and only 20% of survey participants do apply a pesticide to kill adult mosquitoes on their own property. None of our findings were associated with the level of education, gender, or age of participants. This study suggests that the City of New Orleans Mosquito, Termite and Rodent Control Board educational and outreach campaigns may be an effective tool in spreading mosquito control awareness and contribute to residents’ knowledge of mosquito control. The data we collected indicate that residents understand what mosquito control is and why it is important in New Orleans.
Do It Yourself: A Modernized Gravid Trap Design for Mosquito Surveillance
Authors: Dewsnup M. Andrew , Widmer Thomas D. , Branham Ella J. , Faraji Ary , White Gregory S. , Bibbs Christopher S.
Published: December 2023

Gravid traps have become a common and frequently essential surveillance tool for parous Culex spp. vectors of West Nile virus and other encephalitis-causing pathogens. The recent closing of BioQuip Products Inc., an entomological supply company, has jeopardized the commercial availability of gravid traps. The Salt Lake City Mosquito Abatement District presents herein a template for making your own gravid trap, but with some modernizations for quieter fans and longer lasting, light weight, lithium battery packs. At the time of writing, the materials cost for the fan ($14 USD), toolbox ($13), cables ($9), ABS pipe ($2.50), aluminum brackets ($10), catch container with lid ($9), trap net ($10), USB battery pack ($35) and the negligible amount of 3D-printed filament ($2), is approximately half the cost (not including labor) of the formerly available commercial model. Additionally, performance validation in the laboratory (t4,9 = 0.1191, P < 0.9109) and within two field sites (χ2 = 0.107, P < 0.744) demonstrated no significant differences in collections of gravid Culex pipiens. We do not present an overhaul of the previous gravid trap blueprint, but the quality-of-life updates to the trap design, the feasibility of in-house manufacture, and the mirrored collection efficacy to the commercial model can allow improved maintenance of gravid trap surveillance networks without a commercial supplier.
Detection of Aedes Scapularis In Southwestern Florida
Authors: Heinig Rebecca , Morreale Rachel , Reeves Lawrence , Lloyd Aaron , Hoel David , Lucas Keira J.
Published: December 2023

Aedes scapularis has recently been detected for the first time in southwestern Florida. During the course of research and surveillance activities by local mosquito control districts in 2020 and 2021, a total of 190 adult females were collected from 14 separate locations in Collier and Lee Counties. To date, Ae. scapularis has been found in 5 counties since its rediscovery in Florida in 2006. Its detection and likely northward expansion into Collier and Lee Counties from the southern Florida Peninsula is in line with ecological niche model predictions that found the environment of the Gulf Coast of southwestern Florida to be highly suitable for the species. Due to its potential ability to transmit both exotic and endemic pathogens such as Everglades virus and Dirofilaria immitis, understanding the range and distribution of Ae. scapularis should be a priority for Florida mosquito control and public health agencies.

Slavery and the slave trade are widespread themes in Caribbean literature, but for a long time they were virtually absent from French-speaking sub-Saharan African literature. In recent years, however, Afropean authors have made it a major theme. Léonora Miano’s La Saison de l’ombre (2013), Wilfried N’Sondé’s Un Océan, deux mers, trois continents (2018) and David Diop’s La Porte du voyage sans retour (2021) offer what Achille Mbembe, in Sortir de la grande nuit (2010), refers to as a “cultural reconfiguration”, specific to “the age of dispersion and circulation”.
The Museum of London ‘Diversity Matters Programme’ and Redbridge Museum: Creating Equality, Exhibiting Ethnicity from a Local Perspective
Authors: Pireddu Silvia
Published: December 2023

The Museum of London ‘Diversity Matters Programme’ was launched in 2018 and closed in 2021. The programme encouraged London’s small non-national museums to embrace the Arts Council England’s directions to stimulate participation across socio-economic barriers such as the Equality Act (2010) and the Equality Duty (2011) recommended. However, the project results indicate a top-down approach to the involvement of minorities that seems to clash with the idea of inclusiveness itself. The local museums aimed to establish a bottom-up local history experience where visitors were content creators. These two opposite perspectives share the same scope but use different methods to achieve inclusion. By discussing survey data, the article investigates the Diversity Matters Programme as realised by Redbridge Museum, London, revealing competing and conflicting power relations that underpin the engineering of diversity and inclusion.

Analysis of the effect of machining parameters on the surface roughness in bore honing
Authors: Sztankovics István
Published: December 2023

Honing is a wide-spread applied machining procedure in finish manufacturing of high precision bores (for example surfaces in internal combustion engines). Machining procedures can be analysed from the point of view of the energy efficiency, productivity, surface quality, etc. In this paper the achievable surface quality after the honing process is studied on sleeves with EN-GJL-250 lamellar cast iron alloy material. The cutting experiments were planned according to the 23 full factorial design of experiments method. Two levels of the analysed factors were chosen in this study. The pressure on the honing stone, the feed of the tool and the average grain size are changed, which resulted in 8 experimental setups. After the roughness measurement and profile evaluation, the main effects are analysed of these 3 parameters. Equations were determined according to the principle of the design of experiment method. The effect of the studied machining parameters is analysed by the application of these equations. The findings in this paper make it possible to explain some phenomenon in the honing process and allow the planning of future experiments in this topic. It was found that lower pressure, higher feed, and finer grains are favourable to achieve low roughness values.

The work is aimed at solving the problem of phase detection in a phase-sensitive reflectometer when working with stochastic Rayleigh reflectors in the fiber. An improvement of measurement methods in coherent reflectometric systems, based on the use of machine learning algorithms, is proposed using a chirp reflectometer as an example. A chirp reflectometer with a tunable wavelength laser source was used to collect data necessary for training neural networks. The study shows that scanning by wavelength allows simulating various external effects, such as deformation or temperature changes over extended areas, thus ensuring efficient data collection for training. The use of even simple neural network algorithms leads to a significant increase in phase measurement accuracy by 43%, demonstrating the potential of this method for detecting phase of complex interferometric signals.

Методом электрофореза с использованием 6,5 % полиакриламидного геля идентифицированы проламины 5 мягких сортов озимой пшеницы — Блюдо, Базальт 2, Черноземка 115, Черноземка 130 и Крастал. Исследования проведены в 2022 – 2023 гг. в условиях юго-востока Центрального Черноземья. Полученные электрофоретические спектры отдельных зерновок каждого сорта на основании их анализа и описания сортировали по биотипам. Данные биотипы представлены в виде белковых формул, отличительные особенности которых определялись числом и сочетанием компонентов α-, β-, γ- и ω-фракций полиморфного глиадина. Установлено, что 4 изучаемых сорта — Базальт 2, Черноземка 115, Черноземка 130 и Крастал — имеют по несколько биотипов и являются полиморфными и один сорт (Блюдо) — мономорфный. По результатам структурного анализа выделенные биотипы проанализированы и оценены по элементам продуктивности. На основании этого дана их хозяйственно-биологическая характеристика.
Carcinoma escamoso variedad sarcomatoide de lengua. Reporte de caso
Authors: Samudio-Scavone Eladio Marcelo , Monzón-Cardozo Rafael Ramón
Published: December 2023

Introducción. El carcinoma de células escamosas es una patología relativamente frecuente en Paraguay, que debe ser diagnosticada y tratada a tiempo. La variedad sarcomatoide es un subtipo poco frecuente, pero mucho más agresivo que la presentación convencional, con altas tasas de recurrencia y metástasis linfática. La exposición previa a radiación es uno de los principales factores desencadenantes.
Caso clínico. Paciente de 83 años con antecedente de radioterapia por carcinoma escamocelular del paladar blando, quien consultó por una masa en el borde lateral de la lengua que correspondió a un carcinoma escamocelular del subtipo sarcomatoide.
Resultados. El paciente fue sometido a cirugía y quimioterapia, pero presentó recaída tumoral a los cuatro meses, sin aceptar una cirugía de rescate, optando por el tratamiento paliativo y falleciendo a los pocos meses.
Conclusión. El examen exhaustivo de la cavidad oral en una primera consulta permite identificar lesiones en estadios tempranos y el tratamiento multidisciplinario temprano puede mejorar la supervivencia global. El pronóstico de estos pacientes en estadios avanzados es desalentador. Actualmente la cirugía microvascular es la mejor opción terapéutica, pero la hemiglosectomía sin reconstrucción sigue siendo una opción aceptable en nuestro medio, conociendo los altos costos de la primera y el requerimiento de un grupo mayor de especialistas, largos tiempos quirúrgicos y estancias hospitalarias.
Periodic traveling waves in Fermi–Pasta–Ulam type systems with nonlocal interaction on 2d-lattice
Authors: Bak S. M. , Kovtonyuk G. M.
Published: December 2023

The paper deals with the Fermi--Pasta--Ulam type systems that describe an infinite systems of nonlinearly  coupled particles with nonlocal interaction on a two dimensional lattice. It is assumed that each particle interacts nonlinearly with several neighbors horizontally and vertically on both sides. The main result concerns the existence of traveling waves solutions with periodic relative displacement profiles. We obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of such solutions with the aid of critical point method and a suitable version of the Mountain Pass Theorem for functionals satisfying the Cerami condition instead of the Palais--Smale condition. We prove that under natural assumptions there exist monotone traveling waves.

Published: December 2023

In the conditions of expanding interaction between friendly countries, the cross-border approach to economic cooperation in strategically important areas is becoming increasingly important. The methodological basis of this study was the dialectical method of cognition, which allows analyzing and synthesizing economic phenomena, dissecting them into separate elements. The methods of logical, economic and situational analysis were also used. The authors give a bibliographic review of economic cooperation between Russia and the Republic of Kazakhstan using a cross-border approach to the analysis of the precious metals and stones market; show the role of the Republic of Kazakhstan at historical stages in the formation of integration processes in the Eurasian space; characterize the structure of the market of precious metals and stones and products made of them. The market of precious metals, gemstones and products made of them is a promising direction of Kazakhstan's economic development. The Republic of Kazakhstan is successfully improving the state regulation of the precious metals and gemstones industry, taking into account global trends and best practices in this area. Cross-border cooperation between Kazakhstan and Russia will contribute to their further economic development.
Capital Flight from Russia and Possible Sources of Financing Budget Expenditures
Authors:   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Moscow, Russian Federation, Zhukov P.E.
Published: December 2023

The article considers the problems of capital flight from Russia in current conditions and the related problems of financing budget expenditures. The difference between capital export and capital flight, which occurs in conditions of extremely high risks or unfavorable investment climate, is substantiated. The balance of payments of Russia in 2022 is analyzed, and it is substantiated that in the current situation capital flows are largely capital flight from political and economic risks. The author estimates the size of capital flight from Russia in 2022 (approximately $232 billion), and concludes that the mandatory sale of foreign exchange earnings in modern conditions can be replaced by more flexible control measures. Further, the paper analyzes a set of complex problems of financing the federal budget expenditures of Russia in the current conditions. Three possible mechanisms of financing the budget deficit (or additional expenditures) are considered: at the expense of new public debt, at the expense of the National Welfare Fund and sale of state assets, as well as at the expense of new emergency taxes. It is concluded that attraction of new sources for government borrowing is practically impossible without a significant increase in interest expenditures. At the end of the paper, for the recovery of the Russian economy, there is a proposal to introduce a new flexible tax on the export of capital, which can create incentives for investment in the Russian economy and solve the problems of financing federal budget expenditures in modern conditions.
