Tourism and mobile devices: provenance of academic research through a bibliometric study
Authors: Ortega-Fraile Francisco José , Ríos-Martín Miguel Ángel , Ceballos-Hernandez Cristina
Published: December 2022

Purpose

This paper aims to outline a map of all the research that exists on mobile technology and tourism archived in the two main databases worldwide (Web of Science and Scopus). Accordingly, with the identification of all the scientific articles that deal with both mobile technology and tourism, the authors seek to ascertain the evolution of mobile technology in the tourism sector through the years, countries, universities and authors and determine the various collaborations brought about between authors, universities, institutions and/or companies in various research projects. Finally, it also allows the authors to distinguish the main topics under study within the scope of ‘mobile tourism’.

Design/methodology/approach

A mixed methodology has been carried out. The search focused on the principal databases of bibliographic references and citations of periodical publications, such as articles from scientific journals, books and other types of printed material. Once the results were obtained in the respective databases, it was necessary to be able to work with them. In this respect, the authors had to extract the relevant data and dump it in a bibliographic reference manager, for which they chose Mendeley. After this, the tabulation of data was performed in Excel and tables and graphs were created from all the data collected.

Findings

The main results obtained and analyzed are the number of articles per year, countries and universities. In the same way, it is interesting to highlight the number of countries and universities that participate in each article under study. On the other hand, an analysis has been carried out regarding the number of articles per author, as well as the topics dealt with in the different articles.

Originality/value

This analysis reveals the role that has been played by mobile phones in tourism since the first scientific article was recorded in 2002. In this regard, in recent years there has been a significant increase in the number of articles, finally resulting in moderate figures in relation to countries (40) and universities (233) that have formed part of the subject matter under study. In contrast to other areas of research in tourism, the relevance of this subject is therefore evident, as is the need for greater background knowledge to establish research models adapted to the new reality of tourism in a world of ever-increasing mobility.

Authors: Blanco Canto Miguel , Bares López Lydia , Hrynevych Oksana
Published: December 2022

Purpose

The economic crisis of 2008 has caused a significant increase in the number of unemployed in Spain and a decrease in investments in active training policies. In this context, it is even more necessary to demand improvements in the degree of efficiency of the training programs aimed at unemployed people.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper presents the opinions of a group of experts in labor intermediation on the need to include transversal competences in the training contents of employment courses aimed at the tourism sector to improve the degree of employment of the unemployed.

Findings

All the experts consulted have indicated the need to enrich the subjects of the training courses by incorporating workshops that favor the implementation of certain transversal competences such as team work, management in stress situations, problem-solving, willingness to learn, self-initiative, verbal communication and mastery of social networks.

Research limitations/implications

The main limitations are given by the small number of experts in the field. However, their long career and participation in employment programs make their opinions valuable.

Practical implications

The main practical implication is in the fact that the proposed suggestions about modifications in the contents of the training courses for employment in the tourism sector are perfectly applicable, and according to the expert’s opinions, they would improve the degree of labor insertion of the participants.

Social implications

The improvement of the degree of employability of the unemployed who participate in the training actions and a greater adaptation to the specific characteristics of the jobs offered by the entrepreneurs of the sector.

Originality/value

The adaptation of the formative contents of the courses focused on the unemployed can make possible two desirable effects. On the one hand, the improvement of the quality of the tourist resources and on the other hand, increase the degree of employability of the unemployed, and in this way improve the efficiency of training programs.
Preliminary look at the motivators and decision-making process of medical tourists from Nigeria to India
Authors: Abiodun Balogun Babatunde
Published: December 2022

Purpose

The past decade has witnessed a tremendous and progressive growth in the number of Nigerians who engage in medical tourism from Nigeria to India. Various commentators have advanced diverse reasons for this trend. However, there is a dearth of research that has sought to provide empirical insights. This paper aims to investigate the decision-making process of Nigerian medical tourists and why they prefer medical tourism to India to medical care locally.

Design/methodology/approach

Eight Nigerian medical tourists are interviewed on a one-on-one basis with open-ended questions using purposive criterion sampling technique from an interpretivist mind-set.

Findings

The paper identifies two major motivators, namely, inadequate medical infrastructure and poor medical, and customer service from health workers in Nigeria, which spurred medical tourism from Nigeria to India. Further, it finds that first timers premise their decisions on advice from reference groups, while previous personal experiences guide decisions on subsequent medical travels. Findings are explained using the template provided by the theory of planned behaviour.

Originality/value

This exploratory nature of this research provides a useful basis to elucidate the course of decision-making of Nigerian patients so that appropriate marketing communication channels can be applied. It improves the process of recruiting and engaging Nigerian patients and nurturing wholesome relationships between Nigerian patients and hospitals.
Benefit segmentation of a summer destination in Uruguay: a clustering and classification approach
Authors: Perera Gonzalo , Sprechmann Martin , Bourel Mathias
Published: December 2022

Purpose

This study aims to perform a benefit segmentation and then a classification of visitors that travel to the Rocha Department in Uruguay from the capital city of Montevideo during the summer months.

Design/methodology/approach

A convenience sample was obtained with an online survey. A total of 290 cases were usable for subsequent data analysis. The following statistical techniques were used: hierarchical cluster analysis, K-means cluster analysis, machine learning, support vector machines, random forest and logistic regression.

Findings

Visitors that travel to the Rocha Department from Montevideo can be classified into four distinct clusters. Clusters are labelled as “entertainment seekers”, “Rocha followers”, “relax and activities seekers” and “active tourists”. The support vector machine model achieved the best classification results.

Research limitations/implications

Implications for destination marketers who cater to young visitors are discussed. Destination marketers should determine an optimal level of resource allocation and destination management activities that compare both present costs and discounted potential future income of the different target markets. Surveying non-residents was not possible. Future work should sample tourists from abroad.

Originality/value

The combination of market segmentation of Rocha Department’s visitors from the city of Montevideo and classification of sampled individuals training various machine learning classifiers would allow Rocha’s destination marketers determine the belonging of an unsampled individual into one of the already obtained four clusters, enhancing marketing promotion for targeted offers.

Authors: Hernández Garrido Rocio , Grávalos Gastaminza María Asunción , Escobar Rodríguez Tomás , Pérez Calañas Cinta
Published: December 2022

Purpose: This study sought to identify the factors that affect intention to use applications (apps) related to caravanning and to test a conceptual model based on the literature to assess the intention to use apps to plan a trip in a caravanning sector.

Design/methodology/approach: This study analysed the data obtained from caravanning users using partial least squares (PLS). The model used in this paper is based on a review of the literature.

Findings: This study showed that perceived value, perceived ease of use and satisfaction had an influence on intention to use apps related to caravanning. The key predictors of satisfaction were hedonic motivation and perceived ease of use.

Research limitations/implications: The results are based on users of motorhomes, caravans and campers who have visited Andalusia as caravanning users. The study should be expand to more regions and countries to determine if such expanded samples would field different results and conclusions. Furthermore, there is a lack of studies of caravanning in the literature.

Practical implications: This study could be useful for app developers because of the lack of studies in this specific sector in order to develop marketing strategies.

It would also be convenient for them to have a knowledge of the effect of moderating variables such as gender, marital status and age on the intention to use caravanning apps to develop their strategies in apps.

Originality/value: This is a pioneering study in the field of caravanning and apps. It also offers practical implications for app developers. It is the first paper to use a model based on the literature to test the intention to use apps related to caravanning.

Published: December 2022

O Brasil ocupa o quinto lugar em acidentes de trânsito, sendo o politraumatismo principal consequência desses eventos. Tendo em vista a gravidade das lesões, a vítima pode necessitar longos períodos de internação e, com isso, correr risco de desenvolver sepse. O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar as características de pacientes politraumatizados diagnosticados com sepse e os que não desenvolveram sepse. Estudo quantitativo do tipo caso-controle que foi desenvolvido em uma Unidade de Emergência do interior do Estado de São Paulo. Foram considerados casos aqueles que desenvolveram sepse durante a internação e controles aqueles que não desenvolveram sepse. Os dados foram coletados por revisão de prontuários. Foram incluídos 105 participantes, sendo 35 casos e 70 controles. A incidência de sepse foi de 33,9 casos novos para cada 1000 internações. Os pacientes que desenvolveram sepse necessitaram de maior tempo de internação e da realização de um número maior de procedimentos invasivos, além disso, a sepse aumentou em nove vezes a chance de óbito nos pacientes. Diante disso, a sepse pode impactar negativamente sobre o tempo de permanência hospitalar e sobre o desfecho da internação, resultando em grande perda de vidas.

A NUMERICAL STUDY ON THE TRANSITION CHARACTERISTICS OF AN INVERSE MICRO-SCALE DIFFUSION FLAME TO MICRO-SCALE PREMIXED FLAME UNDER HEAT RECIRCULATION CONDITIONS
Authors: Hossain Akter , Ahmmed Sarder Firoz
Published: December 2022

In this investigation, the gaseous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is issued at the inner port, and methane (CH4) is injected at the outer port of the sub-millimeter scale burner in order to establish an inverse CH4/H2O2 micro-scale diffusion flame numerically under heat recirculation conditions. The velocity of gaseous H2O2 is considered only as a numerical parameter in this study and the velocity of CH4 is kept constant to examine the flame structure and the transition behavior of an inverse micro-scale diffusion flame. The numerical simulation has been conducted using ANSYS Fluent 14.5 based on Finite Volume Method (FVM) under normal gravity (1G) conditions with low thermally conductive burners. The semi-detailed reaction model, which consists of 58 chemical reactions and 17 chemical species, has been applied in this study. It is found that when the momentum of the gaseous H2O2 is high, then a CH4 /H2O2 inverse micro-scale diffusion flame is formed, and this flame is attached just on the top of the burner by which one can easily analysis an active flame-wall interaction phenomenon. On the other hand, when the momentum of the gaseous H2O2 has been reduced significantly, then H2 /O2 micro-scale premixed flame is established entirely inside the micro-burner. Furthermore, it is found that when the momentum of H2O2 reduces remarkably, then CH4 does not diffuse inside the micro-burner at the flame zone, and consequently only H2 /O2 micro-scale premixed flame is established there as H2O2 is playing the role of a monopropellant, where no extra oxidizer is needed for the survival of flames. This type of flame mode transition phenomenon under micro-burner systems is the first ever reported event in the literature of reacting fluid dynamics (i.e., combustion dynamics). Besides, this is the primary findings of our ongoing research, and hence, the further numerical calculation adopting different pertinent parameters is now under progress with the aim of extracting more profound physical and chemical insights that are associated with the aforesaid transition phenomena.
WOMEN-LED INTEGRATED HOMESTEAD AGRO-FARMING: A DESIGNERLY PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Parvin Afroza , Das Antu , Piashi Sumaiya Rahman
Published: December 2022

A growing population with rising per capita income has intensified the competition for limited land in Bangladesh. As regulation of land use is largely absent in rural areas, agricultural land use is getting indiscriminately converted into non-agricultural uses. This conversion is threatening agro-based food security of the country in general and of the rural households in particular. Regarding this issue, the current government has emphasized the rural homestead as a ‘production unit’ of agro-farming. As an important source of food and nutrition, homestead farming is an integral part of rural settlements where women play a vital role. However, in most of the cases, it is done in an un-integrated and rudimentary manner. As a result, they are unable to yield the maximum from homestead farming. In this context, the research focuses on designing integrated homestead agro-farming based on case studies of two homesteads of a typical village in Batiaghata, Khulna. With an exploratory approach the research methodology is designed with a three-stage framework. Stage I includes investigation of the categories and needs of agro-products focusing on the role of women in production, processing, management and consumption; Stage II includes exploration of existing spatial-morphological patterns and extent of different types of agro-farming; while Stage III includes development of design schemes for integrated homestead agro-farming. Based on the triangulation of findings, this research contributes strategic physical-spatial design considerations for integrated homestead agro-farming towards ensuring household food security in a socially sustainable and agro-ecologically resilient manner.

Authors: Khotimah Khusnul , Laksono Kisyani , Suhartono Suhartono
Published: December 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the use of specialized terminology that is either new or beyond the lexical limits of its general usage. The mass media use various language tools to package constructive and destructive ideologies related to the environment, such as euphemisms and dysphemisms. This study discusses the patterns of dysphemism and the effect of using dysphemism in reporting on COVID-19 by the Indonesian mass media. This qualitative descriptive study utilized data collected from several Indonesian online media. Distributional and equivalent techniques were used for data analysis. The results showed that the Indonesian mass media applied four types of dysphemism expression units to report COVID-19, i.e., words, phrases, clauses, and sentences. These dysphemisms generally refer to humans, plants, animals, soil, toxic materials, trash and waste, pollution, destruction of nature, and taboos. In addition, the feelings contained in dysphemism are creepy, awful, disgusting, reinforcing, and disrespectful. There are several reasons for using dysphemism, namely: (a) attracting the reader's attention, (b) confirming speech or strengthening meaning, (c) word variations, (d) provocation, and (e) saving space. Some of the impacts of using dysphemism in society are rude language patterns, irritability, disturbed psychology, and blurred understanding.

Published: December 2022

Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is considered one of the most harmful diseases of pepper plants. Recently, research on plant disease control through the rhizosphere microbiome has been actively conducted. In this study, the relationship with disease occurrence between the neighboring plant confirmed by analyzing the physicochemical properties of the rhizosphere soil and changes in the microbial community. The results confirmed that the microbial community changes significantly depending on the organic matters, P2O5, and clay in the soil. Despite significant differences in microbial communities according to soil composition, Actinobacteriota at the phylum level was higher in healthy plant rhizosphere (mean of relative abundance, D: 8.05 ± 1.13; H: 10.06 ± 1.59). These results suggest that Actinobacteriota may be associated with bacterial wilt disease. In this study, we present basic information for constructing of healthy soil in the future by presenting the major microbial groups that can suppress bacterial wilt.
Detection of Colletotrichum spp. Resistant to Benomyl by Using Molecular Techniques
Authors: Isa Dalha Abdulkadir , Kim Heung Tae
Published: December 2022

Colletotrichum species is known as the major causal pathogen of red pepper anthracnose in Korea and various groups of fungicides are registered for the management of the disease. However, the consistent use of fungicides has resulted in the development of resistance in many red pepper-growing areas of Korea. Effective management of the occurrence of fungicide resistance depends on constant monitoring and early detection. Thus, in this study, various methods such as agar dilution method (ADM), gene sequencing, allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) were applied for the detection of benzimidazole resistance among 24 isolates of Colletotrichum acutatum s. lat. and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides s. lat. The result of the ADM showed that C. gloeosporioides s. lat. was classified into sensitive and resistant isolates to benomyl while C. acutatum s. lat. was insensitive at ≥1 µg/ml of benomyl. The sequence analysis of the β-tubulin gene showed the presence of a single nucleotide mutation at the 198th amino acid position of five isolates (16CACY14, 16CAYY19, 15HN5, 15KJ1, and 16CAYY7) of C. gloeosporioides s. lat. Allele-specific PCR and PCR-RFLP were used to detect point mutation at 198th amino acid position and this was done within a day unlike ADM which usually takes more than one week and thus saving time and resources that are essential in the fungicide resistance management in the field. Therefore, the molecular techniques established in this study can warrant early detection of benzimidazole fungicide resistance for the adoption of management strategies that can prevent yield losses among farmers.

Published: December 2022

Root-knot nematode disease is a widespread and catastrophic disease of tobacco. However, little is known about the relationship between rhizosphere bacterial community and root-knot nematode disease. This study used 16S rRNA gene sequencing and PICRUSt to assess bacterial community structure and function changes in rhizosphere soil from Meloidogyne incognita-infected tobacco plants. We studied the rhizosphere bacterial community structure of M. incognita-infected and uninfected tobacco plants through a paired comparison design in two regions of tobacco planting area, Yuxi and Jiuxiang of Yunnan Province, southwest China. According to the findings, M. incognita infection can alter the bacterial population in the soil. Uninfested soil has more operational taxonomic unit numbers and richness than infested soil. Principal Coordinate Analysis revealed clear separations between bacterial communities from infested and uninfested soil, indicating that different infection conditions resulted in significantly different bacterial community structures in soils. Firmicutes was prevalent in infested soil, but Chloroflexi and Acidobacteria were prevalent in uninfested soil. Sphingomonas, Streptomyces, and Bradyrhizobium were the dominant bacteria genera, and their abundance were higher in infested soil. By PICRUSt analysis, some metabolism-related functions and signal transduction functions of the rhizosphere bacterial community in the M. incognita infection-tobacco plants had a higher relative abundance than those uninfected. As a result, rhizosphere soils from tobacco plants infected with M. incognita showed considerable bacterial community structure and function alterations.

Published: December 2022

Fusarium head blight (FHB) is one of the most serious diseases in barley and wheat, as it is usually accompanied by the production of harmful mycotoxins in the grains. To identify FHB-resistant breeding resources, we evaluated 60 elite germplasm accessions of barley (24) and wheat (36) for FHB and mycotoxin accumulation. Assessments were performed in a greenhouse and five heads per accession were inoculated with both Fusarium asiaticum (Fa73, nivalenol producer) and F. graminearum (Fg39, deoxynivalenol producer) strains. While the accessions varied in disease severity and mycotoxin production, four wheat and one barley showed <20% FHB severity repeatedly by both strains. Mycotoxin levels in these accessions ranged up to 3.9 mg/kg. FHB severity was generally higher in barley than in wheat, and Fa73 was more aggressive in both crops than Fg39. Fg39 itself, however, was more aggressive toward wheat and produced more mycotoxin in wheat than in barley. FHB severity by Fa73 and Fg39 were moderately correlated in both crops (r = 0.57/0.60 in barley and 0.42/0.58 in wheat). FHB severity and toxin production were also correlated in both crops, with a stronger correlation for Fa73 (r = 0.42/0.82 in barley, 0.70 in wheat) than for Fg39.
A New Approach Using the SYBR Green-Based Real-Time PCR Method for Detection of Soft Rot Pectobacterium odoriferum Associated with Kimchi Cabbage
Authors: Jin Yong Ju , Jo Dawon , Kwon Soon-Wo , Jee Samnyu , Kim Jeong-Seon , Raman Jegadeesh , Kim Soo-Jin
Published: December 2022

Pectobacterium odoriferum is the primary causative agent in Kimchi cabbage soft-rot diseases. The pathogenic bacteria Pectobacterium genera are responsible for significant yield losses in crops. However, P. odoriferum shares a vast range of hosts with P. carotovorum, P. versatile, and P. brasiliense, and has similar biochemical, phenotypic, and genetic characteristics to these species. Therefore, it is essential to develop a P. odoriferum- specific diagnostic method for soft-rot disease because of the complicated diagnostic process and management as described above. Therefore, in this study, to select P. odoriferum-specific genes, species-specific genes were selected using the data of the P. odoriferum JK2.1 whole genome and similar bacterial species registered with NCBI. Thereafter, the specificity of the selected gene was tested through blast analysis. We identified novel species-specific genes to detect and quantify targeted P. odoriferum and designed specific primer sets targeting HAD family hydrolases. It was confirmed that the selected primer set formed a specific amplicon of 360 bp only in the DNA of P. odoriferum using 29 Pectobacterium species and related species. Furthermore, the population density of P. odoriferum can be estimated without genomic DNA extraction through SYBR Green-based real-time quantitative PCR using a primer set in plants. As a result, the newly developed diagnostic method enables rapid and accurate diagnosis and continuous monitoring of soft-rot disease in Kimchi cabbage without additional procedures from the plant tissue.

Published: December 2022

En 2016, la mission franco-suisse de Saqqarah a dégagé le péribole de la pyramide de la reine Ânkhnespépy II. Dans l’angle sud-ouest du monument, plus de dix mille ossements de bovidés ont été mis au jour.

La découverte de deux momies et d’un naos a permis de comprendre que l’ensemble provient d’une nécropole pillée dans l’Antiquité et non encore repérée. Les momies ont révélé n’être composées que d’ossements, montrant qu’il s’agissait d’animaux sacralisés, peut-être en relation avec le taureau Apis.
