The Visit Intention of New York City: The Influence of Social Media Marketing (Study on Tourist Who Wish Visit The New York City)
Authors: Herstanti Ghassani
Published: May 2023

The largest market in the US for overseas visitors, who often stay longer and spend more, is New York City. Depending on past tourist behavior, there are two approaches that should be taken when promoting New York City (NYC) as a destination. When promoting a destination to tourists who have already been there before, the emphasis should be on updating them on new information and luring them back. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of social media marketing initiatives, destination image, attitude, awareness, and perceived value on visit intention to New York City. The SEM-PLS approach was employed in this study's data analysis. 42 travelers who intended to visit New York City filled out a 1–5 scale questionnaire that was used to obtain the data. Ten theories pertaining to the 6 factors under investigation were put up. The study's findings indicate that Social Media Marketing Activity has no relationship with the Destination Image, Destination Attitude, Destination Awareness and Perseced Value variables. While the variables that have a relationship with Visit Intention New York City are Destination Awareness and Perceived Value. This study has consequences for giving tourists who want to visit New York City an overview and an explanation.
AIPLE-IS: An Approach to Develop Product Lines for Information Systems Using Aspects
Authors: Braga Rosana T. Vaccare , Germano Fernão S. Rodrigues , Pacios Stanley F. , Masiero Paulo C.
Published: May 2023

Product lines for information systems present variabilities both in non-functional and functional features. Aspects are being used successfully in the implementation of non-functional features, as they provide intuitive units for isolating the requirements associated to this type of features. However, aspects could also be used to implement some product line features that refer to functional requirements. Using that approach, the instantiation of specific products could be done by combining the desired aspects into the final product. In this paper, we propose an approach, named AIPLE-IS, to incrementally build a product line for information systems using aspects. The product line core is developed first, followed by the addition of optional features through aspects. A case study for a product line in the domain of information systems for psychology clinics is presented to illustrate the approach.

Konzernweite Matrixstrukturen
Authors: Hölken Deborah
Published: May 2023

Group-wide matrix structures lead to a variety of challenges in terms of labour law. The book examines the existence of units that are eligible for works councils and shows that the common concept of an establishment predominantly leads to appropriate results even in the matrix structure. However, "virtual" matrix cells in particular can lead to a dual establishment structure. The book also focuses on the affiliation of the employees to the establishment and the works council’s participation rights in the hiring of matrix managers. The delegation of the right to issue instructions to matrix managers as well as the implementation of the matrix structure under company law and liability risks for managing directors are also discussed.
Strategies towards Empowering Nurses on the Rational Use of Antiretrovirals in Children Initiated and Managed on Therapy in Rural Primary Healthcare Clinics of South Africa
Authors: Nkateko Mabila Linneth , Hulisani Demana Patrick , Maria Mothiba Tebogo
Published: May 2023

HIV has affected the health and welfare of children and undermined the success of child survival in some countries. The introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in managing HIV is one great public health success story. ART has commanded increased survival for people living with HIV (PLHIV). Barriers to achieving ART outcomes in children have been simplifying the prescribing process for non-paediatricians, such as medical doctors and nurses familiar with prescribing ART for adults but involved in treating children, particularly at the primary health care level. And the lack of appropriate antiretroviral formulations for children. The calculation of individualised doses for liquid oral ARVs for children at each clinic visit is considered complicated and time-consuming. ART failure among children seems to be an under-recognised issue, and adherence to treatment guidelines is reported to be a challenge among nurses caring for children and PLWHIV. Rational medicine use is essential to ensure the success of pharmacologic interventions. The attainment of ART goals depends on the effective use ARVs as recommended in guidelines. It is pivotal that nurses be empowered with strategies aimed at promoting the rational use of antiretrovirals.
Child Sex Trafficking Pandemic of the 21st Century in Kenya
Authors: Kimathi Jane
Published: May 2023

We have all seen films that portray the dark and lurid world of human trafficking defections that seem sensationalized and exaggerated for cinematic effects. Yet, it never occurs to our minds that this is happening in front of our doorsteps. Globally, children are estimated to account for 29% of human trafficking. Child trafficking involves the “recruitment, supply, transfer, harboring, illegal adoption, and receipt” of a child for commercial sex or forced labour exploitation. Child trafficking comprises the main category of trafficking cases in Kenya, and children have been known to be trafficked for sexual purposes, particularly along the coastal region. In Kenya, child trafficking happens inaudibly within the communities and families due to poverty, lack of access to education, unemployment, HIV & AIDS, and related orphans, and weak laws and policies for child protection. The coastal region’s financial dependence on tourism, which tends to attract individual travelers, may exacerbate the sexual exploitation of children. Addressing the phenomenon of child sex trafficking has proven difficult because of the presence of the use of private villas for sexual exploitation and the reluctance of law enforcement to inhibit effective child protection. The vital call to individuals, communities, and leaders is to promote a child-friendly environment that makes families move out of poverty and ignorance.
Perspective Chapter: Is Inclusion Safe? The Importance of Community Among Women Who Sleep with Women (WSW)
Authors: McIntosh Tera , Reindl Diana
Published: May 2023

The important presence of community in creating success, well-being, and happiness is essential. Perhaps especially important for those marginalized others where a sense of “community” might be limited due to being different from what society sees as norm. This article explores the different ways women who sleep with women (WSW) evaluate their personal well-being in regards to community and relationships. Specifically, the impact inclusion has on community, practitioners, developers, and professionals who create spaces where others (LGTBQ+) belong. Participants included 37 self-identified WSW from the United States, with a majority being from Southern states. The purpose of the study was to examine perceptions and experiences among women of minority sexual groups. Contributing factors that may lead to more holistic lifestyles emerged. Discussing these questions revealed insight as to why WSW are more negatively affected in health and happiness than their heterosexual counterparts. Most importantly, these questions served as a platform for meaningful conversation, adding rich experiences, thoughts, and perceptions to research regarding the LGBT community.
The Paradigm of Complex Probability and the Theory of Metarelativity: The General Model and Some Consequences of MCPP
Authors: Abou Jaoudé Abdo
Published: May 2023

Calculating probabilities is a crucial task of classical probability theory. Adding supplementary dimensions to nondeterministic experiments will yield a deterministic expression of the theory of probability. This is the novel and original idea at the foundation of my complex probability paradigm. As a matter of fact, probability theory is a stochastic system of axioms in its essence; that means that the phenomena outputs are due to randomness and chance. By adding novel imaginary dimensions to the nondeterministic phenomenon happening in the set R will lead to a deterministic phenomenon and thus a stochastic experiment will have a certain output in the complex probability set and total universe G = C. If the chaotic experiment becomes completely predictable, then we will be fully capable to predict the output of random events that arise in the real world in all stochastic processes. Accordingly, the task that has been achieved here was to extend the random real probabilities set R to the deterministic complex probabilities set and total universe G = C=R+M and this by incorporating the contributions of the set M, which is the complementary imaginary set of probabilities to the set R. Consequently, since this extension reveals to be successful, then an innovative paradigm of stochastic sciences and prognostic was put forward in which all nondeterministic phenomena in R was expressed deterministically in C. This paradigm was initiated and elaborated in my previous 21 publications. Furthermore, this model will be linked to my theory of Metarelativity, which takes into consideration faster-than-light matter and energy. This is what I named “The Metarelativistic Complex Probability Paradigm (MCPP),” which will be developed in the present two chapters 1 and 2.

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanomaterials are very important for generating hydrogen through photoelectrochemical water splitting and remediation of environmental pollution. It has remained the focus of many researchers during last few decades due to their wide applications. Optical absorption properties of TiO2 can lead to increase their photocatalytic activities. However, its overall solar performance is very restricted because of its large bandgap. The emergence of black titania nanomaterials has recently triggered worldwide research interest due to its significantly improved solar absorption and enhanced photocatalytic performances. In this chapter, various synthetic approaches employed to obtain black titania are outlined, and the structural features of the black titania nanomaterials are described in detail, along with their photocatalytic performances towards various applications.
Gut Microbiome and Crohn’s Disease: An Enigmatic Crosstalk
Authors: Sharma Jyoti , Banerjee Tuhina , Naithani Manisha , Kumar Navin , Kumar Singh Sudhir , Basu Somprakas
Published: May 2023

Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic, recurrent, immune-mediated inflammatory bowel disease that demonstrates a spectrum of intestinal and extra-intestinal manifestations. The pathogenesis of CD is multifactorial and involves a complex interplay between environmental and microbiological factors in a genetically susceptible host. There is robust evidence suggesting the role of gut microbial dysbiosis in the development as well as exacerbation of CD by immune dysregulation and alteration in the immune microbiota crosstalk. Patients with CD show reduced commensal microbial diversity, along with increased numbers of pathogenic Enterobacteriaceae and Proteobacteriaceae. Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, an anti-inflammatory molecule-producing bacteria, is also seen in reduced numbers in patients with CD and is associated with an increased risk of recurrence. There has been a paradigm shift in the management of patients of CD, from controlling symptoms to controlling inflammation and promoting mucosal healing. Current treatment strategies aim to replace, remove, reset, or redesign the gut microbiota for the therapeutic benefits of patients with CD. These include microbial restoration therapies such as dietary modification, the use of pre-, pro-, and postbiotics, and fecal microbiota transfer (FMT). This chapter focuses on the role of gut microbiota in the pathophysiology of CD and the emerging concepts in microbial therapeutics.
Neuroendoscopic Techniques in the Treatment of Hydrocephalus
Authors: Wu Youtu
Published: May 2023

Neuroendoscopic techniques have been used to treat hydrocephalus for more than 100 years. With the personalized design of surgical approaches, increased knowledge of ventricular anatomy, and improved neuroendoscopic equipment, the last 20 years have witnessed tremendous advances in the development of neuroendoscopic technology, especially in the treatment of hydrocephalus. Except for obstructive hydrocephalus, the application of neuroendoscopic technology in the field of hydrocephalus is also expanding and has received good results, mainly in the fields of pediatric hydrocephalus and communicating hydrocephalus. Additionally, many scholars have achieved satisfactory results in the application of ventriculoscopy to complex hydrocephalus. Among neuroendoscopic techniques, the third ventricular floor fistula and cyst wall fistula methods are commonly used in the treatment of hydrocephalus and are highlighted in this chapter. Undoubtedly, neuroendoscopic technology has become one of the key treatment methods for hydrocephalus, with its high success rate, few complications, and accurate long-term efficacy.
Physical Analgesia: Methods, Mechanisms and Algorithms for Post-Operative Pain
Authors: B. Koleva Ivet , R. Yoshinov Borislav , A. Asenova Teodora , R. Yoshinov Radoslav
Published: May 2023

Physical analgesia is the application of physical modalities for pain relief. Our objective is to present the potential of some physical factors and correspondent methods of application; and to explain their mechanisms of action. For pain reduction we use: low and middle frequency electric currents (e.g. TENS, interferential currents), electrostatic field (Deep oscillation), magnetic field, light (including Laser), some mineral waters and peloids, physiotherapy (e.g. analytic exercises, mechanotherapy, post-isometric relaxation, massage), reflexotherapy (e.g. acupuncture, acupressure). In rehabilitation practice, we use reflectory connections between the surface of the body and the internal organs (cutaneous-visceral, subcutaneous-visceral, proprio-visceral, periostal-visceral). The theory of Melzack and Wall for gate-control explains some effects of physical factors. We propose our own theory for explanation of mechanisms of physical analgesia. We propose our concept about rehabilitation algorithms in diseases of the nervous and locomotor systems, accentuating on conditions after surgical intervention (neurosurgical and orthopedic operations, including joint endoprosthesis and limb amputations). We present some of our own results in patients with post-operative pain.

Authors: Tkaczyk Michał
Published: May 2023

The use of symbols in politics is an important topic that is subject of many research projects. From the viewpoint of political science, man creates various signs to which certain values and meanings are attributed. The article describes the results of a survey of the University of Warsaw students’ opinions concerning the presence of selected nationalistic and fascistising symbols in the public sphere. It also presents the current state of research concerning in politics, research questions, the formulated hypotheses and the research methods used. The article also describes selected symbols used by national, nationalistic and fascistic organisations. The article also outlines how the symbols associated with the extreme right are perceived by the young people in Poland and what significance it could have in the context of the current political trends. The author underlines the importance of public opinion polls concerning nationalistic and fascistising symbols, especially in the context of the growing wave of nationalism and the extreme right in Europe. The survey, carried out in 2021-2022, revealed that the majority of the respondents negatively appraised the selected nationalistic and fascistising symbols, such as the black sun, the falanga or the Celtic cross. At the same time, some respondents found it difficult to identify individual symbols, which point to the need for more educations as regards the history and ideologies associated with those symbols. The conclusions drawn from the survey indicate the need for more education and greater sensitivity to those issues among young people, who are the future of our society.

Rickettsial fever is one of a zoonotic disease which is caused by bacteria genus Rickettsia. The ectoparasites such as ticks, mites, fleas, lice... were demonstrated as the main transmited vectors through host reservoirs are rodents and small animals including mice, squirrels, mink... These is the main cause of Rickettsia infection in human. The prevalence of Rickettsia and Orientia tsutsugamushi in rodents and ectoparasites and patients in Vietnam were reported. However, the data still was not clearly and fully understanding. Ha Giang is one of the important provinces with complex mountainous terrain where there is a high risk of zoonotic diseases. The O. tsutsugamushi was detected in patients collected in Ha Giang province. In current paper, we describe the result for investigating the Rickettsia infection rate as well as the seroprevalence of scrub typhus, Rickettsia typhi and Rickettsia spotted fever group in fever of unknown origin patient collecting in Ha Giang province general Hospital. The ELISA result in 162 patients indicates that seroprevalence of Orientia tsutsugamushi, Rickettsia typhi, and Rickettsia spotted fever group are 33.33%, 8.02%, và 1.85%, respectively. The real-time PCR result shows that the positive rates of Orientia tsutsugamushi, Rickettsia typhi and Rickettsia spotted fever group are 24.69%, 5.63%, và 1.41%, respectively.

Soldiers working in trench environment on Island X are influenced by many adverse factors affecting their health such as: extreme microclimate conditions (high temperature, poor ventilation), high humidity, low light intensity, high noise level. In addition, soldiers may be affected by electromagnetic radiation, dust and so on. Adverse environmental conditions causing heat stress affects the health of the soldiers. However, our research results showed that during the state transitions, the obtained microclimate indexes and the noise level after the rehearsal all increased more highly than those of them before the rehearsal. WBGT index ranged from 29.5 to 31.9oC. The measured light intensity ranged from 51.05 to 480.73 lux, not meeting the workplace lighting standards. The indicators of electric field strength and dust concentration in particular, the measured values were met with the permitted workplace conditions according to the regulation in both before and after the rehearsal of state transitions.

The effectiveness of restoring the body function status of 30 Vietnamese military pilots flying Su-30 aircraft has been evaluated by biofeedback training method. The pilots were trained by 7 exercises on the system Reacor. The recoverable ability of the pilot's body function status was assessed through changes of cardiac function index and the results of psychophysical tests using Ritm-Met and UPFT-1/30 systems. The results showed that the body function status of the military pilots after training was improved with the enhancing of cardiac function index and reducing of stress index: Hildebrandt index decreased from 4.6±0.8 to 4.2±0.6 and Tension index of the regulatory systems (TI) decreased from 78.4±2.5 to 75.3±1.2. In addition, the functional state of the sensory organ systems under the control of the central nervous system of the pilots after training was also improved, expressed by the reduction of the percentage of false reflexes in the test "Simple visual reflex" (from 1.41±0.3 to 1.3±0.3%), increasing the percentage of target hits in the "Reflex with moving target" test (from 24.8±5.5 to 31.4±4.6%) and reduced the fatigue index when performing typping tests (from 82.7±4.5 to 79.8±6.1).

This article presents result of outdoor weathering for determination of decorative and protective properties of eight exterior paints: EPR, SPH, JTJ, TOS, NPW, DLW, TSS, DSF and three interior paints: IDLA, INPO, IKVA. The experiment was implemented at three outdoor exposure sites for four years continuously. The results showed that all samples did not appear blistering, flaking, checking, cracking, peeling, dirt collection or fungal growth. Samples of three interior paints were not exhibited any significant coating degradation. Samples of eight exterior paints have low initial gloss values, therefore they had no significant change in gloss. However, the phenomenon of chalking, color change takes place strongly throughout the experiment. Affirming that the decorative characteristics of the exterior emulsion paints have been significantly reduced after 4 years of outdoor weathering in the tropical climate of Vietnam.
