An Academic Study of Clothing Ethnoculture and Modern Clothes Production: Interaction Practices in Ukraine
Authors: Oliynyk Maryna
Published: April 2022

As a result of globalization processes, the lives of average people are nowadays filled with uniform products. In Ukraine, contemporary clothing featuring national markers stands out from among the wide range of cultural and artistic trends. Ukrainian academics are currently studying the specific features of the diffusion of traditional clothing into everyday urban life. A knowledge of the historical path of the penetration, adaptation, and development of traditional Ukrainian clothing within the urban cultural system is necessary for an understanding of its modern transformation processes. An examination of the theoretical model of the diffusion and development of nationally marked clothing from 1861 to 2020 reveals that, in the context of urbanized culture, the spread of Ukrainian clothing is subject to five factors: social and economic, religious and ritual, identification (patriotic), cultural and artistic, and design and production. Within each subperiod, namely 1861–1920, 1921–1990, and 1991–2020, these factors have influenced clothing culture to varying extents, and their content is transformed in accordance with the historical circumstances. In addition to the publication of the above developments in scientific journals, considerable efforts to popularize them are also being made. Several thematic lectures have been given on the influence of the above-mentioned driving forces at different historical stages, accompanied by the multimedia presentation of prominent members of the Ukrainian intelligentsia posing in Ukrainian attire. The ZETA Atelier clothing manufacturing team produces collars embroidered with Ukrainian folk motifs, which became fashionable among Ukrainian intellectuals in the early 20th century. Collaboration based on the educational platform of the clothing brand Zerno has given rise to the idea of producing a line of stockinette T-shirts with prints of historical photographs of the Ukrainian cultural figures previously featured during lectures and presentations. The aim is to shape a contemporary urban culture of nationally marked clothing via the introduction of national images into consumer practices.
The Folk Art Revival and Applied Ethnography in the Hungarian Heritage House
Authors: Sándor Ildikó
Published: April 2022

The present study introduces the role played by the Hungarian Heritage House in applied ethnography and the folk art revival. It is the first such study to review their antecedents over the past 70 years, the evolution of the institutional background, and activities of varying emphasis (research, teaching, certification) in the fields of folk dance, folk music, and folk handicrafts. The second part of the study evaluates professional tasks in the context of the organizational framework of the Hungarian Heritage House, which was founded in 2001, highlighting the internal relationships among activities embedded within the historically developed structure. The study then goes on to describe the intermediary role of the institution in relation to the practical use/usefulness of basic ethnographic research in terms of: (a) knowledge transfer — the utilization of basic ethnographic research in trainings and courses; and (b) digitization — ensuring wide access to ethnographically authentic archive folk music and dance recordings as the socialization of basic ethnographic research; and (c) research activities within the scope of applied ethnography and existing and potential cooperation with the academic sector. By way of conclusion, the study outlines pressing tasks in the field of applied ethnographical research that are crucial to the everyday, practical work of folklorism. These tasks include delineating the image (i.e., concept) of folk art and folk tradition in the Hungarian Heritage House; clarifying the terminological issues that affect the profession as a whole; creating a professional historical archive of folklorism; organizing a regular forum for critical discussion; and rethinking the cultural context and function of the folklore revival in light of the present-day challenges.

Introduction. Follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) accounts for 10-20% of the differentiated thyroid carcinomas (DTCs), and it is the second most common thyroid malignancy after papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). FTC is typically more common in women and in older age group than PTC. Unlike PTC, FTC metastases late to the lymph nodes, with only up to 10-20% of the patients having nodal metastases at the time of diagnosis.On the other hand, distant metastasis via hematogenous spread is more likely in patients with FTC due to the invasion of blood vessels. Prognosis depends on the extent of the distant metastasis which drop 10-year survival significantly. Aim. Although DTCs have usually favorable prognosis, metastatic disease in these patients has a long clinical course. Cranial imaging in these patients should be performed during the follow-up after the treatment of FTC with thyroidectomy and RAI. Description of the case. We report a case of late onset but catastrophic hematogenous distant metastases beginning 8 years after the diagnosis & treatment of FTC and becommimg widespread during the following 10 years with a long clinical course in a 60 year old female patient. Conclusion. In the RAI refractory metastatic lesions SRS and surgical resections should be conserned as the first management approach to improve survival.

Suplementação de sulfato ferroso entre gestantes: um estudo de série temporal no extremo Sul do Brasil
Authors: Linhares Angélica Ozório , Cesar Juraci A.
Published: April 2022

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito de algumas características maternas sobre o uso do sulfato ferroso entre puérperas pertencentes a cinco estudos perinatais do Município de Rio Grande, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Entre 1º de janeiro e 31 de dezembro dos anos 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016 e 2019, entrevistadoras previamente treinadas aplicaram, em até 48 horas após o parto, ainda no hospital, questionário padronizado a todas as puérperas residentes nesse município e que tiveram parto nos dois únicos hospitais locais. Foram investigadas características demográficas, socioeconômicas e cuidados recebidos durante a gestação e o parto. Teste qui-quadrado foi utilizado para comparar proporções e regressão de Poisson com ajuste robusto da variância na análise multivariável. A medida de efeito utilizada foi razão de prevalências. Dentre as 12.645 participantes (98,1% do total), 74,5% (IC95%: 74,7-76,2) utilizaram o sulfato ferroso durante a gestação. Essa prevalência variou de 61,7% (IC95%: 59,7-63,6) em 2007 a 81,1% (IC95%: 79,5-82,7) em 2019 (valor de p para tendência < 0,001). Após ajuste, verificou-se que a suplementação de sulfato ferroso foi significativamente maior entre gestantes adolescentes, de menor escolaridade (0-8 anos), pertencentes ao menor quartil de renda, que realizaram pré-natal considerado adequado e no setor público de saúde (p < 0,05). Houve grande melhora na prevalência de uso de sulfato ferroso no período estudado, no entanto ainda falta atingir a equidade. Recomenda-se que os profissionais de saúde priorizem as mulheres com mais idade, com melhor nível socioeconômico e que utilizam o setor privado de saúde durante o pré-natal.
REFLEXÕES SOBRE O ENSINO E A APRENDIZAGEM DE ÁLGEBRA A PARTIR DAS PRODUÇÕES DO GT04 DA SBEM
Authors: LIMA GABRIEL LOUREIRO DE , BIANCHINI BARBARA LUTAIF
Published: April 2022

RESUMO: Este artigo é uma análise interpretativa de caráter bibliográfico. Tem por objetivo, estabelecer interlocução entre cinco pesquisas de autoria de membros do Grupo de Trabalho Educação Matemática no Ensino Superior (GT04), da Sociedade Brasileira de Educação Matemática, sobre o ensino e a aprendizagem de Álgebra, com reflexões presentes em estudos de outros autores de renome na Educação Algébrica. As discussões organizam-se em três temáticas: requisitos para aprender Álgebra; como a Álgebra é ensinada e como deveria ser ensinada; e a natureza das dificuldades evidenciadas na aprendizagem de Álgebra. Para coletar, categorizar e analisar dados, adotamos alguns pressupostos da Análise de Conteúdo na ótica de Bardin. Por meio do estudo realizado, pudemos perceber que, embora os objetos das pesquisas do GT04 sejam o ensino e a aprendizagem de Matemática na universidade, muitas das discussões relacionadas à Álgebra presentes nas investigações dos membros deste Grupo por nós iluminadas e articuladas com afirmações de pesquisadores de renome, tanto no cenário nacional quanto internacional da Educação Algébrica, não dizem respeito especificamente ao ensino superior. Considerações relacionadas à especificidade do GT se fazem presentes de maneira mais contundente nas reflexões acerca da natureza das dificuldades evidenciadas na aprendizagem de Álgebra, havendo, no entanto, mesmo nesta categoria de análise, considerações pertintentes também à Educação Básica.
Tolerância política e ativismo de protesto no Brasil: efeitos comportamentais do apoio a direitos políticos
Authors: Ribeiro Ednaldo , Borba Julian , Fuks Mario
Published: April 2022

Resumo: A literatura sobre comportamento político tem analisado as relações entre atitudes de tolerância política e diferentes formas de ativismo, com resultados conflitantes. Procurando contribuir com essa agenda, esse artigo explora dados da onda de 2018 do Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP) para analisar os efeitos da manifestação de tolerância política sobre o ativismo de protesto no contexto brasileiro. Trata-se, portanto, de estudo sobre possíveis consequências comportamentais de atitudes políticas em um contexto de crescente polarização afetiva. Utilizando técnica não paramétrica de combinações (Coarsened Exact Matching - CEM), os resultados encontrados indicam que, mesmo tendo seus efeitos controlados por variáveis explicativas reconhecidas pelos estudos sobre participação, o impacto positivo da tolerância política é consistente, favorecendo o ativismo político contestatório.
Para além do antagonismo: desenvolvimentismo e liberalismo no Brasil da República de 1946
Authors: Chaloub Jorge , Cannone Helio
Published: April 2022

Resumo: O presente artigo argumenta que as relações entre desenvolvimentismo e liberalismo não se esgotam em necessário antagonismo. Se há um liberalismo crítico ante a maior parte das expressões do Estado, bem representado por Eugênio Gudin, não é possível restringir a tradição liberal a essa vertente, que é, aliás, minoritária entre os anos 1930 e 1970. Para propor uma nova interpretação sobre as relações entre desenvolvimentismo e liberalismo, analisaremos, a partir das sugestões metodológicas de Reinhart Koselleck, as articulações entre os conceitos de Estado e planejamento em três dos mais relevantes intelectuais públicos da República de 1946: Afonso Arinos, Roberto Campos e Hélio Jaguaribe. A escolha dos autores decorre do fato de eles representarem três distintas perspectivas sobre os conceitos de desenvolvimento, planejamento e liberalismo.
Entre Portugal e o Brasil: Cristóvão de Gouveia, S. J. (1542-1622) e a arquitetura da Companhia de Jesus
Authors: COUTINHO Maria João Pereira
Published: April 2022

Resumo O presente estudo analisa e problematiza a ação de Cristóvão de Gouveia (1542-1622) no contexto das manifestações artísticas da Companhia de Jesus em Portugal e no Brasil, durante a segunda metade do séc. XVI e as primeiras décadas do séc. XVII. Este trabalho parte da revisão de fontes manuscritas e impressas já publicadas, mas acrescenta informações inéditas e notas explicativas, que permitem ter uma visão mais abrangente do percurso desse jesuíta. Os documentos abordados, à guarda do Archivum Romanum Societatis Iesu (ARSI), do Arquivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo (ANTT) e da Biblioteca Pública de Évora (BPE), entre outros acervos, fornecem dados fulcrais sobre o papel determinante que Cristóvão de Gouveia teve quer na dinamização de festas e celebrações da Companhia, quer nas estratégias adoptadas para a construção de algumas casas. Entre estas últimas, destacam-se as quintas de recreio, em Portugal e no Brasil, mandadas construir e reabilitar por esse jesuíta. É, pois, este campo específico da arquitetura da Companhia, pouco conhecido, que este artigo pretende esclarecer.
“Como se de legítimo matrimónio nascida fora”: A Construção da filiação no Império português a partir da legitimação de uma filha sacrílega na capitania da Paraíba
Authors: COUTINHO SILVA Luisa Stella de Oliveira
Published: April 2022

Resumo No império português, a filiação era classificada em legítima e ilegítima. Para sanar os defeitos de nascença dos filhos ilegítimos, para que pudessem tornar-se herdeiros, os pais podiam solicitar ao rei a legitimação desses filhos. No Brasil colonial, tal procedimento envolvia diversas instituições na colônia e em Portugal: era iniciado através de uma escritura feita em tabelião; continuava no Conselho Ultramarino, de onde seguia para Portugal; até chegar às mãos do rei através do Desembargo do Paço, onde, por fim, a graça da legitimação era concedida ou não. Esse procedimento permite levantar questionamentos sobre a interpretação de institutos jurídicos específicos, como o casamento, o concubinato, o exercício da paternidade e da maternidade. Ele também possibilita análises sobre como as famílias eram constituídas e, especificamente, como a filiação e seus estados podem ser compreendidos num império de repercussões globais. Neste artigo, analisaremos essas peculiaridades utilizando fontes do direito de várias jurisdições e um caso prático, o pedido de legitimação da filha do padre Manuel de Oliveira Garrido, iniciado na capitania da Paraíba em 1778. A partir desse caso, defenderemos que a história do direito no contexto da expansão ultramarina deve ser compreendida a partir da análise conjunta de normas e prática.
A analogia entre ondas eletromagnéticas e elastodinâmica linear
Authors: Kinouchi Osame
Published: April 2022

Analogias físicas ajudam os estudantes a transferir conhecimento de fenômenos familiares para conceitos físicos mais abstratos, especialmente quando a matemática é similar. Aqui apresentamos uma analogia interessante entre campos elásticos e suas equações governantes e campos eletromagnéticos, que são mais abstratos. Para isso, definimos os campos elásticos E e B, e mostramos que a equação elastodinâmica de Navier-Cauchy pode ser colocadas na forma de quatro equações do tipo Maxwell. Também introduzimos um potencial vetor elástico A e um potencial escalar elástico ϕ. Obviamente, a analogia só funciona para o referencial de repouso do meio elástico, mas parece ser pedagógica porque os alunos facilmente imaginam ondas elásticas (ondas de deslocamento u ( r , t ) em um material elástico), mas têm dificuldade em visualizar campos eletromagnéticos. Mostramos também que, embora o potencial vetor elástico A não seja invariante de calibre, o deslocamento u = ∇ κ + A é invariante de calibre (como uma quantidade física mensurável deve ser), onde o campo escalar κ está relacionado a ϕ por ϕ = 1 c ∂ t κ.
Analysis of green technology information from the perspective of individual’s socio-environmental awareness
Authors: Castelli Tiago Machado , Longaray André Andrade
Published: April 2022

Abstract This study’s objective was to analyze the influence of Green IT practices associated with individuals’ perceptions regarding the conscious purchase, use, and post-use of technological equipment on minimizing IT environmental impact. An intervention instrument was applied among IT users. The model developed with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) indicates that the practices: purchasing IT from “green manufacturers,” economic efficiency of technological use, and properly discarding technological equipment make individuals more aware of technology environmental impacts. This study’s main contribution concerns a scale to assess information technology sustainable actions from an individual perspective. The results can raise the scientific community’s interest in developing new studies from this perspective.
Public Policy and Governance Narratives of Distributed Energy Resources in Brazil
Authors: Lampis Andrea , Bermann Célio
Published: April 2022

Abstract Based on the policy document analysis method and a conceptual framework derived from Science and Technology Studies, this paper analyses the construction of institutionally legitimated forms of discursive limitation of energy governance in Brazil. The paper analyzes a subset of selected vital policy documents produced by regulatory bodies such as the National Energy Agency (ANEEL) and the Energy Research Office (EPE). As an insight for further research on the governance of energy policy, the paper’s contribution to the debate is to bring to the fore the relevance of recasting the whole process of regulation of distributed energy in terms of an attempt to build a narrative of control over socio-technical innovation with the potential to democratize access to and use of energy services. This policy narrative’s unspoken goal is to retain control of the Brazilian energy transition at the central level.

Published: April 2022

Abstract The purpose of the article is to discuss the functioning of the Genetic Heritage Management Council (CGen, acronym in Portuguese) from the enactment of Law No. 13,123 / 2015 until December 2019, to understand its role as coordinator of the benefit-sharing policy. CGen’s work context was presented and the theoretical framework of public policy coordination was discussed. The research was carried out based on the analysis of the minutes of the 24 meetings held by the Board, seeking to identify the frequency of full members, the participation of listeners, and the most discussed topics at the meetings. The CGen was found to be a leader in law enforcement, which seeks to use communication and standardization as mechanisms for its coordination. However, the low participation of beneficiaries of the policy and representatives of states and municipalities calls into question the effectiveness of the policy.

Abstract In the municipality of São Paulo, the institution of community gardens has led an innovative social process of self-management of public spaces by citizens, using social networks to organize interventions in an activist way. The research sought to investigate political engagement in community gardens in São Paulo, bringing a perspective based on the concepts of power to act, present in Espinosa’s philosophy, and of commons, based on the work of Dardot and Laval (2017). The methodology consists of an ethnography based on semi-structured interviews and participant observation in community garden joint-efforts, meetings and events. In these meetings, it is possible to consider that there are affections empowering the subjects to engage in significant changes for territorial management, enabling the formation of an expanded collective of action that establishes unique forms of management confronting institutional powers.
Multisensory integration approach, cognitive domains, meaningful learning: reflections for undergraduate nursing education
Authors: Esplendori Gabriela Feitosa , Kobayashi Rika Miyahara , Püschel Vilanice Alves de Araújo
Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT Teaching with a multisensory approach helps students link new information to prior knowledge and understand relationships between concepts. This study aimed to reflect on convergences between the Multisensory Integration Approach Model with the Learning Assimilation Theory and Meaningful Retention with Bloom’s Cognitive Process Domain, and to propose a taxonomic table of lesson planning for teaching Acute Coronary Syndrome, considering the confluence of these references. The three frameworks consider the importance of students’ prior knowledge, the process of abstraction and generalization of knowledge, and the relationship between working and long-term memory. By observing such convergences and the taxonomic table produced, it is observed that teaching topics of interest to nursing undergraduate students, adopting the Multisensory Integration Approach Model as a taxonomic table component (pre-organizing or recall activities to arouse different sensory perceptions aligned with instructional objectives and forms of assessment), in the light of the Learning Assimilation Theory and Meaningful Retention, has the potential to favor the reception and processing of instructional content.

Published: April 2022

Resumo Neste artigo, refletimos sobre a função da alteridade na construção do ativismo de um coletivo feminista estudantil inserido em uma instituição federal de educação. Trata-se de uma pesquisa participante, cujo corpus de análise é constituído por diário de campo, análise documental e roda de conversa. A pesquisa situa-se no campo da Psicologia Social, sustentando-se na Teoria das Representações Sociais e na Teoria das Minorias Ativas, em conversa com teóricas feministas. Observamos que as relações de alteridade formam um ponto nevrálgico na criação e atuação do coletivo feminista participante no ambiente escolar. Concluímos que a atuação das jovens enquanto uma minoria ativa cumpriu papel central para que o coletivo alcançasse seus objetivos e fortalecesse sua identificação com o feminismo.
EL ABANDONO ESCOLAR DESDE LA INTERSECCIONALIDAD: EL GÉNERO MARCA DIFERENCIAS
Authors: Recio Rosa Vázquez , Calvo-García Guadalupe , López-Gil Mónica
Published: April 2022

Resumen El trabajo aborda el abandono educativo, tema de interés, a nivel nacional e internacional. Este constructo responde a formas de entender la excelencia en el marco de las jerarquías (sociales, educativas o culturales). Nos interesa su análisis desde una mirada interseccional, en la que sin duda el género juega un papel clave. El análisis se realiza desde la investigación cualitativa, escuchando las voces de 18 chicas entre 12 y 16 años, nacidas en Cádiz (España) y que han abandonado el sistema educativo; accediendo a ellas mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas. Se aplicó Nvivo11 en el tratamiento de los datos. Las jóvenes participantes muestran que el género es determinante: la responsabilidad otorgada de cuidado o los roles estereotipados, entre otros elementos, son motivos para el abandono.

Published: April 2022

Abstract Aim Owalla Reservoir, one of the largest and oldest man-made lakes in Osun State supplies potable water to many towns in the state including the state capital, Osogbo. Active fishing activities also takes place in the lake. Inspite of the importance of the reservoir, information on the planktonic community and physico-chemical water quality are scarce. Therefore, this study investigated the water quality and plankton composition of Owalla Reservoir, Osun State, Nigeria, from October 2012 to November 2013 with a view to providing baseline information on limnology of the reservoir. Methods Seven sampling stations (designated Stations 1-7) were established as representatives of the zones and regions of the reservoir and sampling was conducted quarterly. At Stations 1 and 3, only surface water samples were collected while water samples were collected from the surface, mid-depth and close to the bottom at other stations. Samples for total plankton and physico-chemical water quality were analyzed using standard methods. Results The result of the study showed that mean dissolved oxygen (P<0.001), biochemical oxygen demand, conductivity, pH (P<0.001), and alkalinity were higher at the surface of the reservoir. As regards seasonal variation, alkalinity, biochemical oxygen demand had the higher mean values during the rainy season. Also, acidity, dissolved oxygen, and pH showed significantly (P<0.001) higher values during the rainy season. One hundred and thirty-seven (137) taxa of phytoplankton and 39 taxa of zooplankton were recorded from the reservoir. The horizontal pattern of variation showed an increase in the mean abundance of most of phytoplankton groups from inflow to the dam area while vertical variation showed a decrease in mean abundance from surface to the bottom of the reservoir. Most of the phytoplankton and zooplankton taxa were more abundant during the dry season than in the rainy season. Conclusions The study concluded that all the monitored physico-chemical water quality parameters were within the guide level range as of the World Health Organisation (WHO) for drinking water, Owalla Reservoir is qualitatively rich in both phytoplankton and zooplankton and the reservoir can support a viable aquatic community and sustainable fishery production.
The Role of Vitamin D Levels in Early Dental Implant Failure
Authors: Kuhad Abhiti
Published: April 2022

Dental implants are being utilized by numerous dentists to replace missing teeth by restoring the function of teeth without compromising the aesthetics. An implant is attached to the bone through the process of osseointegration, which is the connection between bone and artificial implant. For a dental implant to be successful long-term stable osseointegration is required. Early dental implant failure (EDIF) usually occurs within the first four months of implant placement. Osseointegration is dependent on the serum levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D is a secosteroid hormone synthesized by skin cells under the influence of UV radiation or is ingested through a diet or supplemental medication. Low levels of vitamin D negatively affect bone formation thus, affecting the longevity of implant. Vitamin D facilitates bone metabolism, alveolar bone resorption thus, preventing tooth loss. The relationship between bone formation and vitamin D levels have been observed in animal models. According to numerous studies conducted on rodents, vitamin D has been found to increase bone formation around implants. Vitamin D serum levels can be influenced by a variety of factors such as malnutrition, insufficient sun exposure, pigmented skin, obesity and advanced age. As vitamin D levels decrease with increasing age, osteoporosis and periodontal diseases are often diagnosed within the elderly population. Vitamin D is involved in the wound healing process and involves numerous different cells and calcium signaling pathways. This review paper will investigate the relationship between serum vitamin D levels and its impact on wound healing and EDIF.
Anchored or Not: A Short Summary of a Bayesian Approach to the Persistence of Inflation
Authors: Kiley Michael T.
Published: April 2022

Consumer price inflation in the United States, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, jumped to just above 7 percent in the twelve months ending in December 2021. Inflation in 2021 reached the highest level seen since the early 1980s. The jump in inflation outside of the range experienced over several decades has raised questions regarding the speed with which, or the degree to which, inflation may return to the 2-percent range consistent with the Federal Reserve's inflation objective.
Factors influencing hospitality management major college students’ online learning engagement and performance during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Cho Mi-Hea , Jeong Miyoung , Shin Hyejo
Published: April 2022

Higher education institutions are under greater pressure to identify a new pedagogy that can promote students’ motivation and achievement in learning. The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic has completely changed the educational environment to online learning from face-to-face learning, which potentially raises issues related to the quality of student education. In the online learning environment, it is necessary to examine factors affecting students’ motivation, learning styles, online learning engagement, and their learning outcome because students’ motivation, learning styles, and online learning engagement can be predictors of their critical thinking and learning performance. This study examined how students’ motivation, learning styles, engagement, and critical thinking influenced their online learning outcomes. This study conducted an online survey for university students who majored or minored in hotel and tourism management for two months in September and October 2020 through an online survey by Qualtrics of the United States, and verified the hypothesis using structural equation modeling. The findings suggested students’ motivation was the most important factor in online learning because motivation has a positive impact on both behavioral and emotional engagements, thereby leading positive consequences, such as critical thinking skills, learning outcome, and intention. This study provides recommendations for online education along with suggestions for future research.
Hotel brand value by the implementation of a digital-based untact service: The case of luxury hotel room division
Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Jin Jin-Hee , Cho Min-Ho
Published: April 2022

Based on the expectation confirmation model, this study analyzed the relationships among AI service characteristics, choice confirmation, vicarious satisfaction, self satisfaction, and hotel brand value. In order to test the research model, this study conducted a survey with hotel guests of five-star hotels that implemented AI service in the Republic of Korea. A total of 384 valid surveys were analyzed through structural equation modeling. The results showed that two functional characteristics of the AI service (i.e., convenience and enjoyment) positively affected the choice confirmation of the hotel guests. Results also indicated that a social characteristic of the AI service (i.e., new normal receptivity) positively affected the choice confirmation of the hotel guests. Findings also showed that the psychological characteristics of AI service (i.e., digital efficacy) positively affected the choice confirmation of the hotel guest and, in turn, choice confirmation positively affected both vicarious satisfaction and self satisfaction. Finally, both vicarious satisfaction and self-satisfaction positively affected hotel brand value. Theoretical implications of the study and marketing strategies to management for the AI service of luxury hotel rooms were suggested at the end of the study based on the findings of the study.

Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Kim Hyun-ju , Lee Hee-Chan
Published: April 2022

This study aimed to derive optimal choice pairs according to respective property levels of coffee shop service quality factors by using the choice experiment method and estimate their value. Based on previous studies and focus group interview results, a total of five properties—human service, physical environment, additional services, coffee quality, and price of Americano—were divided into three levels. Through orthogonal array design, the number of reasonable alternatives for the survey has been found to be 36, and a total of 18 choice sets have been derived. The survey collected a total of 700 valid samples by targeting men and women who had visited a coffee shop in the metropolitan area in the past year. As a result of the analysis, it has been found that customers were willing to pay 264 won more when human service was improved to a high level and 526 won more when the physical environment was enhanced to a high level. Meanwhile, it has been identified that additional services have reversed lost value by 476 won when they are improved to a high level. Also, coffee quality reversely lost its value by 557 won when improved to a high level and 546 won when enhanced to a very high level. This study is academically meaningful in the sense that it first provided an adequate value level regarding respective properties by estimating marginal willingness to pay, and secondly, it provided significant basic data for coffee shops in setting reasonable coffee prices and establishing highly effective investment strategies.

A special and memorable experience in a certain place affects the sense of place happiness, and this plays an important role in revisiting the place. Recently, convention destinations at home and abroad use both a convention center, which is a traditional convention facility, for meetings and unique venues for official and hospitality events such as opening ceremonies, dinners, and receptions, to strengthen emotional ties with participants. This study investigated the effects of participants’ happiness perceptions at the convention venue on their behavior intention. A total of 241 questionnaires were collected through on-site surveys at the Gyeongju Hwabaek Convention Center (HICO) for convention participants who experienced the convention center and unique venues at the same time. Except for 46 questionnaires of respondents who had never visited a unique venue, including unusable ones, 195 questionnaires were used for the analyses. As a result of the empirical analyses, academic and practical implications were presented by confirming that the psychological as well as emotional placeness factors perceived by insiders at the convention venue could affect participants’ happiness and their intention to revisit the convention destination rather than the physical and active spatiality placeness factors.
Alfred Schaffer, Shaka en die transnasionalisme
Authors: Viljoen Louise
Published: April 2022

In this article, I read the Dutch poet Alfred Schaffer’s volume of poetry Mens dier ding (Man animal thing) against the background of transnationalism. I employ transnationalism as critical or hermeneutic perspective and focus on the identity of the author, the themes worked  out in the volume and the use of anachronism and metapoetical references as literary strategies in support of the transnational nature of the text. Reference is made to the way in which Schaffer’s biography (his Dutch-Aruban descent, his movement between the Netherlands and South Africa, his views on poetry) facilitates a transnational reading of his volume Mens dier ding based on the history of the Zulu king Shaka as depicted in Thomas Mofolo’s novel Chaka (published in 1925). The article also reads Mens dier ding against the background of the idea that transnational literature is a particular kind of literature that emerges at a specific point in history and deals with issues and themes associated with imperialism, colonisation, decolonisation and globalisation such as migration, displacement, cultural hybridity, identity, citizenship and the status of refugees. This reading is prompted by the fact that Schaffer displaces the historical Shaka to the present and eventually also represent him as an asylum seeker in an unnamed country. I discuss the volume’s formal features, the transnational conversation with Mofolo’s novel, the use of anachronism and the insertion of metapoetical elements in the text as literary strategies to deal with transnational issues such as migration, displacement, racial hierarchies, inequality and refugee experience.
grond/Santekraam en bientang: Gesitueer in globale swart seeroetes
Authors: Burger Bibi
Published: April 2022

The Afrikaans poetry collections grond/Santekraam (2011) by Ronelda S. Kamfer and bientang (2020) by Jolyn Phillips both centralise the ocean and both deal with attempts at recovering repressed black histories. Apart from figuring as a source of spiritual fulfilment and connected to figures in the collection’s livelihoods, the ocean is represented in these collections as the bringer of European colonisers and of slaves to South Africa. In this article I contend that references to slavery and colonialism and the use of words in languages brought to South Africa through slave networks position these collections as products of the transnational Black Atlantic tradition, as theorised by Paul Gilroy. The fact that the narratives of both collections take place in the Overstrand region, near the meeting place of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, gives an indication of how Gilroy’s theory needs to be adapted to be applicable to Afrikaans literature: as many English-language South African theorists have argued, oceanic literary studies in South Africa should pay as much attention to routes in the Indian Ocean as to Atlantic routes. The emphasis in both collections on not only a history of slavery, but also one of the displacement of and violence against the people already inhabiting the area when colonisers alighted, further serves to indicate what an Afrikaans black aquatic literature looks like. When taking into account these differences between Afrikaans and other versions of black aquatic art, reading grond/Santekraam and bientang as part of a global black aesthetics allows the researcher to identify the ways in which these collections are characterised by a hermeneutics of suspicion (an interpretation of contemporary life that recognises the ways in which it is structured and functions in anti-black ways) and a hermeneutics of memory (an interpretation of this anti-black contemporary as a continuation of the history of the dehumanisation of black people).
Dreaming Man in the Phenomenology of Madness by Michel Foucault
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Tsvetkova Olga
Published: April 2022

The article analyzes the development of the ideas of Ludwig Binswanger in the early works of Michel Foucault. The transformation of the basic concepts of Dasein-analysis by M. Foucault leads him to the idea of a human as a dreamer being, and a dream as a way of understanding the ontological foundations of human existence. The article reveals M. Foucault’s idea of the predominance of dreaming activity over conscious, rational and reasonable human activity. The article analyzes M. Foucault’s idea about the essence of madness, presented in his early phenomenological works. He notes the inadequacy of interpreting the meaning of dream images, as psychoanalysis does, it is necessary to consider a dream as a pure potentiality of being, which is constructed into normal or pathological worlds. The article considers the influence of the works of L. Binswanger and S. Freud on the ideas of M. Foucault. Z. Freud was one of the first to open a dialogue with madness. He drew attention to the fact that dreams have meaning and reflect an unconscious part of a person’s mental life. Following him, the Swiss psychiatrist Ludwig Binswanger proposed the Dasein-analysis method for understanding the pathological world of the mentally ill, based on the ideas of M. Heidegger’s ontology, E. Husserl’s phenomenology and Z. Freud’s psychoanalysis. From this moment, madness becomes the subject of research in existential psychology, phenomenological psychiatry and philosophical anthropology. In modern philosophy, madness is often viewed as a trait that distinguishes humans from animals, the problem of madness is compared with the problem of reality. The article notes the inadequacy of a positivist psychiatric approach for understanding madness. The article also highlights the importance of studying the problem of madness for a more holistic understanding of the human phenomenon, socio-cultural processes, where it often becomes difficult to draw a line of demarcation between norm and pathology. The article shows how L. Binswanger’s ideas about dreams developed by M. Foucault are continued in the works of modern Russian philosophers who study the phenomenon of madness.
On the Commensurability of the Incommensurable
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Gerasimova Irina
Published: April 2022

Today the world lives in a unique historical situation. There are transformations of earthly space and time on the way of collecting numerous tempo worlds of ethnic groups and cultures. The global crisis and environmental catastrophic risks are relentlessly forcing people to unite to solve common problems. Thoughtless attitude to the biosphere, waste of the planet's resources, pollution of the environment are menacing symptoms of the threat of self-destruction of mankind. Only the unification of peoples and an unshakable sense of geosolidarity can resist. The support in the confrontation between technologization and aggressive geopolitics is seen in traditionalism, in the spiritual origins of the traditions of different peoples. The study of non-Western philosophies, attempts to penetrate cultures with different ethnic codes form multiple new trends in the world intellectual space of philosophy. For epistemology, the dialogue of cultures has given rise to a number of methodological problems. What can be the criteria for comparative studies if incommensurable conceptual systems and different worldviews are compared? Science, focused on the knowledge of the external world, relies on intelligence or "embodied consciousness." The empirical mind as an analyzer of feelings in the Indian tradition is not considered independent. The article discusses correlations in the methodological strategies of spiritual thought in the Indian and Old Russian traditions, as well as correlations with the methodologies of non-classical science. The author shows that any abilities in hierarchical ontologies with extreme levels can be thought of only as a part of the whole. Integrity at the ultimate ontological level potentially contains the qualities of subsequent differentiation (emanates). The concept of the mind as dependent is characteristic of spiritual practices, which can be seen in the texts of the Explanatory Palaia and texts of Indian teachings. Comparative analysis of the problem of the nature of intelligence is of interest in connection with discussions on artificial intelligence. An obstacle to the perception of holistic methodologies is the dualistic language in the European tradition (opposition of matter and consciousness, matter and spirit, brain and consciousness). The criteria for the commensurability of different cultural-semiotic systems are developed in the course of the dialogue of cultures.
