Stakeholder Mismanagement Learning from failure at two major music festivals
Authors: Jones Steve , Kerr Tim
Published: February 2023

People are an integral part of any event, from the organisers and event partners, to the customers and local community. These affected individuals, groups or organi- zations can be defined as stakeholders; “any group or individual who can affect or is affected by the achievement of the organization’s purpose and objectives” (Freeman, 1984: 46). Increasingly, event and project management models are recognising stakeholder management as an integral part of effective event planning, requiring a strategic and systematic approach. This chapter examines the cases of two similar-sized festivals in Sussex, UK; both of which launched shortly after the 2008 global recession and experi- enced significant problems in their first year caused by the mismanagement of stakeholders.
Safety in Numbers The challenges of managing free to attend events
Authors: Drakeley Claire , Brown Tim
Published: February 2023

Community events have long been a cornerstone of local life (Getz & Page, 2020; Ferdinand & Kitchen, 2017; Shone & Parry, 2019), but these events have evolved significantly in recent years to become annual traditions and signify a wider community identity (Antchak et al.,2019). The communities around the event expect the event to happen, that they will be able to attend without charge, and that it will be a safe and enjoyable experience. The societal expectation is that the local council (that is, the public sector) fund and manage the event (Richards & Palmer, 2010), creating a potential perception by some attendees that it is not their responsibility to either contribute or behave safely (Silvers & O’Toole, 2021). Therefore, for community events, the tangible challenge is ensuring safety and fulfilling expectations within the financial resources available, particularly when public funding can be limited. Most community events take place in public spaces, and the legal requirements around access to public spaces mean that controlling access, ingress and egress for free-to-attend events is challenging (Smith, 2016). Operationally, this may require significant resources, such as security personnel and stewards, and barriers and signage, to ensure securely controlled access. This creates the need to manage a delicate balance between staging a successful event without impinging upon public access. Simply put, event managers cannot restrict pedestrian access to the entirety of a public space, such as a high street or park (Smith, 2016), even though there may be allowances for closing off or controlling elements of a public space when delivering the event. Financially, delivering events in public spaces requires significant cost and personnel, requiring high levels of knowledge, expertise, and time. It is this tension between expectation and resource that results in many community events failing in terms of safety, expectations, or financial viability.
What a Waste Stakeholder engagement and sports event waste management: An analysis on operational efficiency
Authors: Gan Joo Ee , Low Brian , Ze Benjamin Wong Tziak
Published: February 2023

Waste management is an integral part of a green event and crucial to its environ- mental credentials (McCullough et al., 2016; Verdonk et al., 2017). Conventional waste management studies focus on municipal waste collection (Schneider et al., 2017); waste separation behaviour (Stoeva & Alrikkson, 2017); intervention strategies (Shearer et al., 2016) and governance-related challenges (Kromidha et al., 2019). But as green events become more prevalent, research on the waste management of events is gaining momentum (Wall-Tweedie & Nguyen, 2018; Han et al., 2015; Barber et al., 2014; Mair & Laing, 2013). Waste management is the most visible green measure in sports events. It is also relatively low cost, compared to the incorporation of eco-designs in the construction or retro-fitting of sport facilities (Hedayati et al., 2014). Moreover, it is easier to promote recycling than to engage with transportation stakeholders to address the carbon footprint of non- domestic travel in sports tourism (Wicker, 2017).
Adding Fuel to the Fyre Leaving it late at Vestiville
Authors: Edwards Leila Jane , McGavin Nikki
Published: February 2023

The necessity and virtues of meticulous event planning cannot be extolled highly enough in ensuring successful outcomes for key stakeholders, the event organization itself, and the wider event community. For stakeholders, the benefits include: excellent consumer satisfaction, positive word-of-mouth recommendations, and media attention. The event organization benefits from enhanced reputation, attainment of event objectives, profit and longevity. Previous media coverage and existing events management literature highlight numerous cases of successful events and festivals (e.g. London 2012 Olympic Games). There are also many high profile examples of unsuccessful events verging on the edge of disaster (e.g. Fyre Festival and Hope & Glory Festival), which achieved notoriety because organisers failed to anticipate and address challenges encountered within the event planning and implementation process. In retrospect, event failure raises numerous questions from teaching, learn- ing and practitioner perspectives, not least regarding the reasons for failure (Kinnunen & Haathi, 2015; Getz, 2002) contributory factors (Nordvall & Heldt, 2017) and, whether or not these were within the organization’s control. In today’s challenging times, where resources are both limited and stretched, organisers can ill afford to take chances or short cuts in relation to attendee health and safety, as the resulting consequences can be dire, if not fatal, in worst case scenarios. Yet, despite advances in the sector’s professionalisation and the availability of event planning software, event failure and mismanagement recur. The Vestiville Festival is an example of such a failure and is the main case study examined in this chapter. Scheduled to take place in Lommel, Belgium, in June 2019, this music festival was shut down by local authorities over safety concerns on its opening day.
Managing Event Stakeholders Expect the unexpected
Authors: Drakeley Claire
Published: February 2023

The expectations of, and placed upon, event managers are often complex and frequently implicit. However, there is currently no overall template for determin- ing professionalism within the sector, even though there are many examples of best practice in specific areas of work. Events of any form do not happen in isolation. Events, and event professionals, are mutually dependent upon clients, suppliers, venues, attendees, sponsors, and colleagues. Such relationships involve implicit expectations, relating to: communication, behaviour, decision-making, and collaboration. These are informed by a range of factors, such as: previous experiences, individual and organizational reputations, project constraints (e.g., time, cost and quality), and evolving circumstances. The last of these indicates that expectations are not static and can change in response to developments in the client/supplier relationship, or because of any other environmental factor. These issues can lead to misaligned expectations of the event manager’s role or performance, and present challenges to managers of all types of events, regardless of scale or scope. If we can minimise either this misalignment, or the expectations themselves, then events will run more effectively, will be more likely to achieve their objectives, will make best use of the resources available, and will enable positive collaboration between stakeholders. Understanding and manag- ing misaligned expectations is a key step in overcoming event failures, given the importance and complexity of stakeholders.
VIP Hospitality Packages – Style over Substance
Authors: Fry Jonathan
Published: February 2023

This chapter advocates the importance of effective communication by exploring examples of VIP/hospitality event packages where experiences fail to meet consumer expectations. VIP event packages have received limited academic coverage, with luxury hospitality in particular identified as an area requiring future research (Heyes & Minor, 2021). Upselling or augmenting standard event tickets, such as via ‘Meet and Greet’ options, is a method used by event organisers to create more luxurious experiences and opportunities to participate in the event (Swarbrooke, 2018). Ticketmaster (2019) states that a “VIP package is when artists offer exclusive packages for an unforgettable concert experience”. The additional spend on VIP/Hospitality over face-value tickets will likely heighten attendee expectations, as VIP experiences “cannot possibly be the same as [for] other guests or customers” (Getz, 2007:194). VIP Nation (2019) website positions packages with phrasing evoking prestige, for example using phrases such as ‘best seats in the house’ and ‘exclusive’ which appeals to the corporate market and general public alike. Often focused on the affective or emotional achievement of attendees, experience-driven events outcomes are generally high-end or premium priced. These are commonly applied to corporate, music or high-profile festivals, as well as large-scale hospitality events including banquets and weddings. Sensory stimulation promoting attendee memories often occurs via the event’s ambiance, decor, service provision and technology (Bladen, 2021). However, are expected consumer experiences being delivered effectively, especially in relation to VIP offers?
Learning from Events Mismanagement
Authors: Higson Phil
Published: February 2023

peaking to his son after a cataclysmic fire destroyed much of Thomas Edison’s life’s work, the prolific inventor famously said: “There is great value in disaster. All our mistakes are burned up. Thank God we can start anew.” (Clemmer, 1999: 94) This quote on coping with failure is one of many to offer inspiration during dif- ficult times. Indeed, any number of entrepreneurs, leaders or captains of industry say the foundation of their success was a positive attitude to failure. There can be no doubt that there is much to learn from mistakes, mishaps, failures, and disasters. In fact, it would be very bad management not to seek to do so. Whilst learning from failure is a fundamental aspect of lifelong learning, it should also be a basic tenet of good management. Therefore, this chapter aims to do three things. First, it explores the nature of management learning within the context of learning from failure. Second, it examines the range of management disciplines, approaches, and techniques which event managers might use to help them avoid failures. Third, it addresses each of these within the context of events management failures. This chapter is thus designed to both underpin the case studies presented throughout the book, and to help inform the reader’s understanding and application of the lessons to be learned.
Running the Risk Examining the risk management practices surrounding the 2011 Kimberley Ultramarathon
Authors: Lade Clare
Published: February 2023

Many different risks exist in staging a major sporting event and subsequently, there are various risk management strategies available to event organisers to protect all of the stakeholders involved. Risk management can be defined as ‘a proactive process that involves assessing all possible risks to the event and its stakeholders by strategically anticipating, preventing, minimising and planning responses to mitigate those identified risks’. This chapter explores the key theoretical concepts pertaining to risk management within events development and examines these specifically in relation to the staging of the 2011 Kimberley Ultramarathon in Australia, as a case study. Limited research exists in relation to extreme sporting events and this analysis will benefit event management practice by identifying key areas of risk and recommendations for future consideration and implementation within the staging of similar and events in general.
Mishap in Macao Unexpected accidents at motorsport events
Authors: Couto Ubaldino , Lei Clara
Published: February 2023

Motorsport races are some of the most vibrant and exciting events on the event calendar. These events bring enormous economic benefits and are lucrative tourist spectacles in the host community, although they are also associated with a myriad of problems to local residents (Fredline & Faulkner, 2001). Celebrating its 68th edition in 2021, the Macau Grand Prix is one of the most challenging motorsport city circuit racetracks in the world and is world-renowned for its numerous sharp and narrow bends, along 6.12km of narrow city roads. It is the only racetrack in the world that hosts Formula 3, motorcycle and touring car races. Many top Formula 1 drivers have raced in the Macau Grand Prix, including Riccardo Patrese, Ayrton Senna, the Schumacher brothers, Edoardo Mortara, and Lewis Hamilton.
Don’t Believe the Hype? Concepts, causes, and effects of event mis marketing
Authors: Vlachos Peter
Published: February 2023

The ubiquitous availability and use of digital and social media combined with the transitory nature of live events offers fertile ground for event mis-marketing. When event marketing efforts fail through over-promising but under-delivering, the negative impact potentially affects not only the event’s own brand, but also that of the venue, the event sub-sector, and the events industry more widely. Live events are classic service goods (Parasuraman et al., 1985; Brassington & Pettitt, 2006) that are intangible, inseparable, heterogeneous, perishable, and lack ownership. As service goods, live events are particularly vulnerable to gaps between user perceptions and perceived experiences (Fitzsimmons & Fitzsimmons, 2013). As symbolic goods (Bourdieu, 1985) live events play a significant role in post-industrial production and consumption. In this chapter we propose that the ephemeral and often speculative nature of live events combined with the ubiquitous availability of digital marketing tools together provide fertile ground for events marketing mismanagement, as illustrated by failed events such as the Fyre Festival (Burrough, 2017). Typical event marketing errors include dissonance in attendee expected and perceived quality, miscalculation of demand (volume and flow), dilution of original event objectives, and poor complaint handling.
Roadside Graves: Cultural and Traditional Significance of Akumadan Traditional Area of Offinso North District of Ghana
Authors: Shanunu Zakaria , Mahama Edward Salifu , Alhassan Eliasu
Published: February 2023

The study investigated cultural and traditional significance of road side graves/burial grounds at the Akumadan traditional area of the Offinso North District. Inextricably linked to the human environment are burial grounds. It's been a common belief for a very long time that after someone dies, their spirit lives on in another form. The study used the Ethnological theory approach by John (2018) which takes into consideration the subculture of a group or group that has a common culture, it’s goal is creating a detailed and comprehensive descriptions of the community and then interpret the ingrained patterns. Achieving the aspirational goal of becoming an ancestor after death is impossible if one attempts to use advance care directives in Africa to request an unnatural death. This study has not been explored previously and therefore adds value to theories and realities of roadside graves or burial grounds. The inter-prettiest paradigm served as the driver to the entire research process for this study. According to interpretivists, reality can only be fully understood by the subjective interpretation of and intervention in reality, hence it focuses on the complexities of meaning as enacted in symbols, language, and social interactions. The study reviewed literature on both primary and secondary literature on culture, graves and traditions. The methods used to collect the data for this study included interviews, observation, focus group discussions, and in-depth interviews and transcribed and analysed into themes. The targeted groups was traditional chiefs, sub-chiefs, opinion leaders, religious groups, accidentally sampled individuals 40 years below and 40 years above. Key amongst the findings include: Ancestors should be kept at a place for easy access (“Akantifi” meaning edge of city in Akan). They also believe the dead are part of them (living) and they need not throw them away; hence, they must be nearer them or by the roadside. They also added that is for traditional spiritual protection of the community (either the ‘entrance’ of the town or when leaving the town) and for easy ritual performance. As a policy implication, Offinso North and for that matter Akumadan Traditional area of Ghana is rich in cultural and traditional belief systems. These cultural and traditional believe systems must be properly documented as part of the rich culture of the traditional area. A tourism hub must be created to take care of the area's rich culture.
The Portrayal of Science and Religion in James Hilton’s Lost Horizon and Walter Miller’s A Canticle for Leibowitz
Authors: Perot Shwana Q.
Published: February 2023

In their fictional works, James Hilton and Walter Miller draw the readers’ attention to the negative impacts of scientific and technological developments on human civilization and the environment. They portray that Science and technology have become a tool in the hands of world powers for destructing humanity and the natural world. In James Hilton’s Lost Horizon and Walter Miller’s A Canticle for Leibowitz, science and technology are seen accountable for the nuclear wars that caused the annihilation of humanity and the natural world. The novels proclaim that scientists and educated people are a part of nowadays' problems as they are misrepresented by politicians. Thus, in Miller’s novel a worldwide effort begins to kill the scientists and burn all the books and other materials containing scientific knowledge. Nevertheless, a group of monks and religious men preserve the relics of the world’s scientific knowledge in the hope that one day humankind will be ready to use them decently. Moreover, both novels portray religion as an emblem of peace, rebirth, and survival of humanity; it helps science and humanity to recover and survive. This article discusses the role of science and religion as depicted in Lost Horizon and A Canticle for Leibowitz.

Exploring the Strategies of Translating Cultural References in Kurdish Subtitling
Authors: Omer Hersh A. , Aminzadeh Sirvan
Published: February 2023

The current study investigates the strategies of translating cultural references applied in the Kurdish subtitles of the American movie entitled ‘Scent of a Woman’. This research also determines the parameters that affect the application of translation strategies in the Kurdish subtitles on the movie. In doing so, the English audio scripts (i.e., source text) and their Kurdish subtitles (i.e., target text), were compared and interpreted in accordance with Pedersen’s taxonomy of subtitling strategies and parameters (2011). The results revealed that all the translation strategies proposed by Pedersen (2011) were used in the Kurdish subtitles. However, due to the consideration of the ‘monocultural parameter’, the subtitler most frequently used the strategy of retention in the Kurdish subtitles. On the other hand, he used the strategies of omission and official equivalence least frequently. It is also shown that the parameters affecting the application of subtitling strategies were monocultural, transcultural, infracultural, and polyesemiotics. In sum, the cultural differences between SL and TL made the subtitler adopt justifiable strategies depending on availability of specific parameters.

Published: February 2023

Organofosfat merupakan zat kimia sintetis yang terkandung dalam pestisida untuk membasmi hama. Organofosfat terdiri dari ester asam fosfat atau tiofosfat yang toksik secara akut terhadap hewan bertulang belakang seperti ikan, burung, cicak, dan mamalia. Salah satu contoh insektisida organofosfat dengan merek dagang yaitu Dursban 200EC dengan bahan aktif berupa klorpirifos. Ikan mas (Cyprino carpio L.) merupakan salah satu jenis organisme yang hidup di air tawar. Ikan mas memiliki tingkat sensitivitas yang tinggi dan rentan terhadap perubahan lingkungan, sehingga adanya pencemaran dari limbah insektisida berpotensi membunuh ikan mas tersebut. Penelitian telah dilaksanakan pada bulan januari 2021 sampai dengan februari 2021. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian yaitu metode eksperimental menggunakan rancangan acak kelompok dan diberi perlakuan menggunakan uji statik (non renewal). Kelompok eksperimen diberi beberapa perlakuan dalam jangka waktu tertentu, setelah itu dilakukan pengamatan dan analisis variabel terikat terhadap variabel bebas dan kontrol. Penelitian menggunakan insektisida organofosfat dengan masing-masing konsentrasi 0 ml/L (kontrol) ; 0,25 ml/L ; 0,75 ml/L ; 1,25 ml/L dan 1,75 ml/L dan diamati setiap 24 jam, 48 jam, 72 jam, dan 96 jam. Analisa data yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah analisis varian dan uji lanjut Post Hoc Test (LSD).Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada waktu paparan 24 jam didapatkan nilai LC50 sebesar 0944 ml/L, nilai LC50 48 jam sebesar 0,681 ml/L, nilai LC50 72 jam  sebesar 0,095 ml/L,  dan  LC50 96 jam sebesar 1,529 ml/L. Nilai TUa yang didapat dari  pemaparan selama 24, 48, 72 dan 96 jam berturut-turut yaitu sebesar 1,059 ; 1,468 ; 10,52 ; 0,654. Hasil analisis statistik dengan ANOVA diketahui bahwa konsentrasi 0,25 ml/L, 0,75 ml/L, 1,25 ml/L, 1,75 ml/L menyebabkan kematian ikan mas secara signifikan. Kesimpulan penelitian adalah ikan mengalami stres dan kehilangan keseimbangan, gerakan melemah, sisik berlendir, operculum terbuka, insang menjadi pucat sehingga ikan kekurangan oksigen, hingga mengalami kematian. Lethal Consentration (LC50) dari insektisida organofosfat selama 24 jam  sebesar   0,944 ml/L, 48 jam sebesar 0,681 ml/L, 72 jam sebesar 0,095 ml/L, dan 96 jam sebesar 1,529 ml/L. Konsentrasi pertama yang memiliki dampak nyata terhadap ikan mas (Cyprinus carpio L.) yaitu 0,25 ml/L. Konsentrasi yang mulai berpengaruh terhadap mortalitas ikan mas (Cyprinus carpio L.) yaitu 0, 25 ml/L, Semakin tinggi konsentrasi yang   diberikan maka semakin tinggi mortalitas ikan mas. Artinya penggunaan insektisida organofosfat dengan konsentrasi 2 ml/L bersifat sangat toksik terhadap hewan non target.

A descriptive cross-sectional hospital-based study was conducted with the objectives to study clinical presentations, complications and outcomes of breastfeeding-associated hypernatraemia (BFAHN) in full-term neonates admitted to Ibrahim Malik Teaching Hospital, Khartoum, Sudan, during the period September 2017–2019. Eighty-four neonates with BFAHN were enrolled in the study. Collected demographic data of the neonates and their mothers included age at presentation, gender, birth weight, current weight, mode and place of delivery, maternal age, parity, education level, time of starting breastfeeding, presenting symptoms and signs, complications and outcome. The prevalence of the BFAHN was 15.5%. The mean age at presentation was 9.38 ± 5.95 days, range of 2–27 days and 59.5% were males. Most of them delivered vaginally (85.7%) and in hospital (63.1%). The mothers were multigravida in 58% and with a mean age of 28.14 ± 6.68 years and 3/4th of them started breastfeeding within the first hour. The most common symptoms and signs were fever, poor feeding, decreased urine output, jaundice, dehydration and loss of weight more than 10% of birth weight. The mortality rate was 21.4%. Complications included acute kidney injury in 82.1%, two patients needed peritoneal dialysis, one-third developed convulsions and two patients had intracranial bleeding. Factors associated with the development of the BFAHN were excessive loss of weight, multigravida, low maternal education level and vaginal delivery. Associated factors for death included thrombocytopenia, convulsions and severe hypernatraemia. Breast-milk sodium levels in mothers of 10 of the patients were high compared to 10 controls.

High-intensity interval training method in karate athletes: Can it improve power, agility, and endurance in the Kumite category?
Authors: Hadi  , Yudhistira Dewangga
Published: February 2023

During a special period, physical exercise for Kumite athletes is targeted at developing the dominant physical condition. Arm muscular power, leg muscle power, agility, and anaerobic endurance are the dominant physical conditions in Kumite. The high-intensity interval training (HIIT) technique of physical exercise is in agreement with the characteristics of the energy system in Kumite. However, there are issues and contradictions in past research on its implementation. As a result, the purpose of this research was to put the HIIT training method to the test to develop muscle power in the arms and legs, agility, and anaerobic endurance in karate athletes in the Kumite category during the special preparatory periodization stage. This study employed an experiment using a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample included 15 male and female Kumite athletes aged 20–25 years, weighing 50–80 kg, and standing 155–180 cm tall. Standing broad jump, two-handed medicine ball put, agility t-test, and running anaerobic sprint test were the instruments used. Interviews, questionnaires, and field tests were utilized to collect data. The data analysis technique employed descriptive analysis and the Wilcoxon nonparametric test. The overall value of Asymp.sig (2-tailed) was 0.001 to 0.009, according to the study's findings. The HIIT training method was found to have a significant effect on improving arm muscle strength, leg muscle power, agility, and anaerobic endurance in karate athletes in the Kumite category. Research has contributed to the sport of karate in the Kumite category through the application of training programs and models that correspond to the characteristics of the specific periodization. Subsequent research, of course, does not only focus on the special periods because other periods are also important.

Published: February 2023

The phenomenon of escalating harassment and bullying of female athletes in sports demonstrates that there is a gap and urgency for further scrutiny. This study aims to reveal harassment and bullying cases against female athletes in sports. This study applied a mixed method. Participants in this study were athletes in several sports organizations at the University of Islam 45 Bekasi (n = 30). A questionnaire was used as the quantitative research instrument to measure harassment and bullying in athletes, while in-depth interviews were used as the qualitative research instrument. Quantitative statistical analysis used IBM SPSS to find frequency and percentage, and qualitative analysis used thematic analysis. The quantitative research results significantly proved that all participants often experience harassment and bullying, with the highest rate occurring in gymnastics, swimming, volleyball, and soccer. While the results of the qualitative research showed that all participants had experiences or stories about harassment and bullying, the causal factors included the conditions of the training environment, athletes' clothes, attitudes, and the knowledge of coaches and athletes. In addition, participants stated that harassment and bullying negatively impact their health and psychological aspects. As a result, we emphasize that incidents of harassment and bullying occur frequently in female athletes while they are participating in sports. It is expected that this research could provide information and understanding to all sports practitioners in Indonesia and all countries in the world that harassment and bullying are very dangerous and immoral and must be handled as soon as possible by providing strict rules.

Published: February 2023

This study aimed to examine the effect of menstrual pain on sleep quality and anaerobic performance in women and the relationship between menstrual symptoms, sleep quality, and anaerobic performance. The study consisted of 22 (20.64 ± 1.91 years) healthy young women. The participants were divided into two groups according to their verbal expressions as menstruating with pain (n=11) and menstruating without pain (n=11). The study used a calendar-based counting method reported by women and an ovulation prediction kit to determine urinary LH surge. After the menstrual cycle phases were determined, Wingate anaerobic performance test measurements were applied to the participants in three phases (late follicle, ovulation and mid-luteal phase). Besides, the Pittsburgh sleep quality index was used to determine women’s sleep quality, and the menstrual symptom scale was used to measure menstrual symptoms. Mann-Whitney U test, one of the non-parametric tests, was used in the data analysis. In statistical analysis, the level of significance was accepted as p < 0.05. Spearman correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between menstrual pain, sleep quality and anaerobic performance. As a result, the average sleep quality of the participants was higher than the painless group. Menstrual symptom scale "pain symptoms", and "coping methods" scores and menstrual symptom scale total scores differed between the groups. The study found that the power drop score, one of the anaerobic performance scores, differed between the groups in the mid-luteal phase. As a result of the correlation test, menstrual pain and sleep quality were associated with anaerobic performance.

In this account, we discuss the use of genetic algorithms in the inverse design process of homogeneous catalysts for chemical transformations. We describe the main components of evolutionary experiments, specifically the nature of the fitness function to optimize, the library of molecular fragments from which potential catalysts are assembled, and the settings of the genetic algorithm itself. While not exhaustive, this review summarizes the key challenges and characteristics of our own (i.e., NaviCatGA) and other GAs for the discovery of new catalysts.
Parallel implementation of a seismic source recovery algorithm from a series of statistically identical media models using Fortran Coarray
Authors: Койнов В.В.
Published: February 2023

Рассматривается задача параллельной реализации алгоритма определения сейсмического источника внутри случайно-неоднородной среды. Алгоритм определения исходной позиции источника использует данные записанных сейсмограмм на свободной поверхности и информацию о статистических свойствах случайной среды. Предложенный подход требует решения большого количества задач динамической теории упругости для различных статистически эквивалентных скоростных моделей, идентифицированных по статистическим параметрам исходной среды. Это наиболее трудоемкая часть алгоритма решения. Чтобы ускорить расчеты, используется двухуровневая стратегия распараллеливания с помощью создания групп, каждая из которых решает свою задачу динамической теории упругости с декомпозицией расчетной области внутри группы. Реализация программы выполнена с использованием Fortran Coarray. Также приводится сравнение используемых конструкций расширения Fortran Coarray с функциями MPI.

The research considers the problem of parallel implementation of an algorithm for determining a seismic source inside a randomly heterogeneous medium. The algorithm for determining the initial position of the source uses the data of recorded seismograms on the free surface and information about the statistical properties of the random environment. The proposed approach requires solving a large number of problems in the dynamic theory of elasticity for various statistically equivalent velocity models identified by the statistical parameters of the initial medium. This is the most time-consuming part of the solution algorithm. To speed up calculations, a twolevel parallelization strategy is used by creating groups, each of which solves its problem of dynamic elasticity theory with a decomposition of the computational domain within the group. Program implementation uses Fortran Coarray. It also compares the used Fortran Coarray extension constructs with MPI functions.
Wave Terrain Hardware for Modular Synthesis
Authors:   , Carswell Samuel
Published: February 2023

In recent years, modular synthesizers have been rapidly increasing in popularity amongst electronic musicians, due in part to their flexibility and open-ended nature. Similarly, these descriptors have long been applied to wave terrain synthesis: A powerful synthesis technique which, despite a 44 year history of research, remains underexplored, with remarkably few public implementations and no dedicated hardware interface. Those wishing to explore wave terrain synthesis usually resort to designing the tools themselves. Likewise, despite the technique’s parallels with modular synthesis, previous implementations have tended towards fixed architectures, further limiting possible exploration.

This thesis investigates these issues, and documents the development of a dedicated hardware interface for wave terrain synthesis that embraces modularity and facilitates deeper exploration of the technique. The resulting system is a Eurorack module that successfully implements a modular approach to wave terrain synthesis, and introduces novel features to the technique, such as voltage controlled arbitrary trajectory specification and control voltage output. Open-sourced, it will be of significant benefit to modular synthesists interested in wave terrain synthesis, and provides a successful template for future wave terrain research to engage with modular approaches to the method.
Customs Valuation Challenges in Multinational Enterprises’ Controlled Transactions: An African Perspective
Authors: Bornman Marina , Chirevo Simba
Published: February 2023

Purpose: The paper aims, from an African perspective, to investigate the practice of inconsistent custom duty valuations experienced by related MNEs and to explore the impact this may have on MNEs.

Design/Methodology/Approach: Perceptions from industry experts from various African countries were sought by means of a questionnaire and supplemental literature was reviewed with a view to address the stated objectives.

Findings: The main findings point to custom officials’ lack of knowledge of transfer pricing principles, possible corruption by custom officials and custom authorities keeping reference prices. The impact on MNEs appear to mainly relate to additional costs in the form of storage, consignment seizure, and lengthy court battles.

Implications/Originality/Value: Strategies to address challenges arising in custom valuations suggest training of customs officials, coordination and exchange of information between relevant departments within the revenue authority and making use of advanced pricing agreements.
The Swiss Giovanni Lombardi in the History of Civil Engineering of XXI Century
Authors: Zanini Barzaghi C.
Published: February 2023

The history of Civil Engineering in XXI century as well as the history of dams is still to be written. We could certainly begin with the eminent Swiss engineer Giovanni Lombardi (1926-2017), a genius in the field of structural engineering and tunnel construction. He built many “cathedrals of energy” around the world: dams or hydroelectric power stations, introducing innovative solutions in design and calculation. This progress was linked to economic and social pressures of the same period, including the energy (oil) crisis and the need to increase the dam’s reservoirs. His main structures are Muttsee dam (CH), Zeuzier dam (CH), Contra dam (CH), Zimapan dam (MX) and also railway and road tunnels (Gotthard, Gibraltar). This paper aims to outline the history of Giovanni Lombardi through his pioneering mind, his scientific contribution, and technical innovation in a Swiss and global context, highlighting how his engineering can be considered an art.
Why and How to Introduce the Teaching of History in the Cursum Studiorum of Structural Disciplines in Engineering Faculties
Authors: Ceriolo L.
Published: February 2023

Historia magistra vitae is not only a saying, but a true sentence. We cannot do our best without the knowledge derived from the past. We must learn from the past to act in the best way today. In fact, errors, faults and failures in structures and architecture could be avoided with knowledge and experience.

Social progress is connected to technological developments, and vice versa. Just consider two examples. First, the developments of the research about Fracture Mechanics were driven by the necessity to increase the basins of some damaged dams during the energy crisis in the 1970s. Secondly, the cracked experienced by some cast iron bridges drove the production of iron and steel as pure as metals. To study this phenomenon a new branch of science was born: fracture mechanics [1]. Several eminent engineers and historians traced the history of civil engineering and our task is now to translate their teaching to students of engineering together with the study of technical topics and BIM tools. It is important that future professors in science universities should have a general preparation and insight sufficient to teach successfully.

Published: February 2023

Owing to ageing and environmental changes issues, condition assessment of historical and iconic structures contributes defining relevant maintenance programmes, adapted retrofitting actions. Their results also constitute essential long-term structural and architectural records. Here, we illustrate how innovative techniques address these important issues taking into account accessibility and operation constraints as well as specific structural and aesthetical features.

In this frame, three real cases are presented in this paper: a drone inspection of inaccessible structural elements of Mirabeau Bridge built towards the end of the XIXth century over the Seine River in Paris, a structural condition assessment using three-dimensional laser scanners triggered by a fluvial barge shock on Sully Bridge, a 143 years-old metal bridge over the Seine River in Paris, and the SHM (Structural Health Monitoring) system implanted since 1989 in the iconic Louvre Pyramid in Paris.
