Microsensors in the retention treatment of orthodontic patients - literature review
Authors: Jasińska Joanna , Łazicka Patrycja , Jakubowska Eliza , Miziniak Marta , Karolak Aleksandra
Published: June 2023

Introduction

Removable retainers have been successfully used for many years as an independent or additional form of retention in patients after orthodontic treatment. Unfortunately, it has been proven that most patients do not follow the orthodontist's recommendations and do not use the braces for the number of hours necessary to stabilize the treatment effects. It has therefore become necessary to look for solutions and devices that are able to objectively record the actual time of retainers use.

Aim of the study

The aim of the study was to assess the usefulness of electronic microsensors in monitoring wear time of removable retainers.

Materials and methods

A search was conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar, ResearchGate databases. Articles were searched in English using the following key words: “microsensors”, “retention”, “orthodontic”, “TheraMon”, “Smart Retainer”.

Results

The results of the literature review show that microsensors embedded in the elements of removable retainers are a valuable tool for monitoring the time of their use. Awareness of the presence of electronic sensors increases patient discipline. In addition, they provide data that, apart from objectively documenting the course of retention treatment, may be used in the future to determine optimal retention protocols.

Conclusions

The retention stage is an indispensable element of orthodontic treatment. The use of microsensors built into removable retainers can help to improve the stability of treatment results. However, further research and work are needed to improve the performance and reliability of this type of electronic sensors.
Multiple solutions to Bahri-Coron problem involving fractional $p$-Laplacian in some domain with nontrivial topology

IS REMEMBERING A KIND OF IMAGINING?
Authors: Mendes dos Santos Rafael Fernandes
Published: June 2023

The scope of this paper is my objection to Michaelian’s claim, who advocates that the reliability condition is the mark which specify genuine rememberings. Against this view, I argue that this strategy is doomed to fail, since the relationship between memory and past has to be already in play and so everything which could count as reliable for a genuine remembering is itself a genuine remembering. If my argument is sound, the conclusion is that the appeal to reliability implies circularity, and so simulation theory cannot provide an explanatory account of the distinction between imagining, understood as a sort of confabulation, and genuine remembering.
CETICISMO, CRITÉRIOS E AUTOCONHECIMENTO
Authors: Mendes dos Santos Rafael Fernandes
Published: June 2023

Meu objetivo central é investigar temas essenciais à filosofia de Stanley Cavell, sobretudo sua compreensão sobre ceticismo, o que ele nomeia ameaça cética, e o vínculo entre sua prática filosófica e a obtenção de autoconhecimento. Dessa forma, em primeiro lugar, apresento sua defesa do ceticismo como um fenômeno natural, em conjunto com a relação entre tal fenômeno e o silenciamento da possibilidade de se exprimir estados subjetivos. Em seguida, procuro esclarecer como Cavell lê a noção wittgensteiniana de critério presente nas Investigações Filosóficas, concebendo o ceticismo como repúdio à critérios, motivado por uma visão epistêmica que resulta na demanda por Conhecimento infalível tanto do mundo como das outras mentes. Veremos que, segundo seu argumento, ao cobrarmos o que critérios não poderiam nos dar, isto é, a garantia de que a aparência fenomênica corresponda a existência de um fenômeno, somos ameaçados pelo ceticismo. Ao cair nela, excluímos nossa subjetividade das interações comunicativas no interior das formas de vida. Por final, diante dessa ameaça cética, procuro mostrar como Cavell atribui à filosofia ou à prática de recordar critérios de significação da linguagem ordinária a função de nos tornar consciente de quem somos.
DAS CONTRIBUIÇÕES DAS INVESTIGAÇÕES FILOSÓFICAS PARA OS ESTUDOS DA LINGUAGEM
Authors: El-Jaick Ana Paula
Published: June 2023

Neste breve artigo buscamos trazer contribuições das Investigações filosóficas do Wittgenstein maduro para o campo da Linguística. Para além desse objetivo mais geral, esboçamos o que pode vir a ser uma linguística antropológica com base sobretudo nas ideias wittgensteinianas de forma(s) de vida, semelhança de família e jogos de linguagem. Claro está que a perspectiva wittgensteiniana de linguagem já é seminal para os estudos da linguagem, mas lamentamos que muitas de suas ideias são absolutamente desconsideradas pela Linguística, fazendo com que percamos algumas possibilidades de ferramentas descritivas. Neste trabalho procuramos dar alguns exemplos dessa quase negligência por parte dos linguistas, como a não consideração dos jogos de linguagem para o estudo de aquisição de linguagem, nem a concepção wittgensteiniana de regra para se conceber o próprio funcionamento linguístico. Entendemos, ainda, que conceitos como “comunidade linguística” e mesmo “palavra”, que ainda nos causam embaraços teórico-metodológicos, poderiam ganhar com novas metodologias à luz do pensamento do Wittgenstein maduro.
A PSICOLOGIA DE SENSO COMUM
Authors: De Orione Arraes Fagundes Juliana
Published: June 2023

Resumo: Este trabalho versa sobre as abordagens de segunda pessoa e de terceira pessoa para atribuição de estados mentais. A partir da metade do século XX, aproximadamente, considera-se que a perspectiva mais apropriada para uma compreensão da mente é a partir da psicologia de senso comum, ou seja, a capacidade natural que temos de atribuir estados mentais para explicar e prever o comportamento dos outros. Sem isso, não seríamos capazes sequer de manter um diálogo com alguém. A atribuição de estados mentais foi muito estudada a partir das atitudes proposicionais, como crença e desejo. A partir do trabalho de Diana Pérez, pretende-se dar um passo atrás e olhar para atribuições de estados mentais a partir das emoções compartilhadas antes da aprendizagem da linguagem.  

PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Psicologia de senso comum; Diana Pérez; segunda pessoa.  

ABSTRACT: This paper is about the third and the second person perspectives for mental attributions. Since the middle of the 20th century, approximately, it has been common to consider that the most appropriate perspective to study the mind starts from the folk psychology, that is, our natural ability to attribute mental states in order to explain and predict the behaviors of others. Without it, we wouldn’t even be able to talk to anyone. The attribution of mental states has been extensively studied based on propositional attitudes, such as beliefs and desires. Using Diana Pérez’s work, we intend to take a step back and achieve an approach to the attribution of emotional mental states that is based on emotions that are shared before the language learning.

KEYWORDS: Folk psychology; Diana Pérez; second person.

Derechos y deberes de información: el rol de la atención primaria de salud en la implementación de la ley que despenaliza la interrupción voluntaria del embarazo en tres causales en Chile
Authors: Casas Becerra Prof. Lidia , Montero Dra. Adela , Vivaldi Macho Prof. Lieta , Álvarez Rubio Sr. Juan José , Bozo Carrillo Sra. Natalia , Babul López Jorge
Published: June 2023

Este artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación cualitativa que indaga sobre la implementación de la ley de interrupción del embarazo que despenalizó el aborto en tres causales específicas en Chile en 2017 (Ley 21.030) y el rol que la atención primaria de salud (APS) en la Región Metropolitana de Chile. Se realizaron 19 entrevistas a personal de la salud de la APS y del nivel secundario de atención en la Región Metropolitana además de dos personas del Ministerio de Salud. El cambio de régimen de penalización total a uno de despenalización por causales exige capacitación a los equipos de salud e información a la población. Los hallazgos revelan que la falta de información y capacitación formal al personal sanitario constituye un obstáculo para el ejercicio de los derechos de las mujeres que otorga la ley, produciéndose un efecto cascada, en que las mujeres no cuentan con la información suficiente para ejercer sus derechos. A ello se suma, una disposición en la ley que produce confusión entre profesionales sobre publicidad e información sobre los servicios. Se analizan los resultados a partir de estándares normativos nacionales e internacionales respecto a la obligación de informar, y el derecho a ser informado en contexto de prestaciones sanitarias relativas al aborto.
Estudio exploratorio sobre la situación de los comités de ética frente a emergencias sanitarias y brotes de enfermedades en Latinoamérica y Caribe
Authors: Garau Marïa Laura , Roitman Adriel Jonás , Durán Adriana , Nardi Carlos S. , Vukotich Claudia Teresa
Published: June 2023

Se realizó un estudio exploratorio a través de una encuesta a Comités de Ética en países de América Latina y el Caribe de habla hispana, con el fin de relevar su situación frente a emergencias sanitarias y consultar los dilemas éticos enfrentados en las investigaciones para COVID-19. Se obtuvieron respuestas de 106 comités, pertenecientes a 14 países. Solamente el 24% respondió que existía una red de comunicación eficiente y efectiva entre comités, previa a la pandemia. El 45% respondió que no existían en su región comités específicos para evaluar proyectos vinculados a emergencias sanitarias con anterioridad a la pandemia. El porcentaje de CEI que disponía de procedimientos previos para evaluar investigaciones en situaciones de emergencias sanitarias, fue sólo de 7%, si bien el 52% estaba en proceso de elaboración a raíz de la pandemia. El porcentaje de CEI que consideró razonable un tiempo inferior a 5 días para la evaluación de proyectos de investigación, varió en virtud del diseño: 32% para los estudios observacionales y 12% para los ensayos clínicos con drogas o con vacunas. Los tres problemas éticos principales identificados en los estudios para COVID estuvieron relacionados con el consentimiento informado, los aspectos metodológicos y la poca información previa o falta de evidencia para los productos de investigación. Consideramos que debemos reformular la manera de pensar los problemas éticos de las emergencias hacia un abordaje global, con un enfoque preventivo, donde las redes de colaboración entre los CEI deberían convertirse en regla.
Acreditación de los comités de ética en investigación en el Paraguay: un imperativo ético
Authors: Caballero García Cristina Raquel , Bianchini Alahí Dana
Published: June 2023

En la última década, el Paraguay ha presentado avances en el desarrollo de la investigación relacionada con la salud con seres humanos. Sin embargo, existe una obligación estatal de asegurar que las investigaciones sean realizadas éticamente: protegiendo la dignidad, los derechos y el bienestar de los participantes, la integridad científica y la adherencia a pautas éticas locales e internacionales. Los comités de ética de la investigación institucionales constituyen la instancia o recurso principal para garantizar la mencionada obligación. Ante lo expuesto y el contexto carente de adecuada regulación en el cual actualmente se desarrollan las investigaciones en el país, en el presente artículo defenderemos el imperativo ético de establecer un sistema de acreditación de los comités de ética de la investigación. Para ello, expondremos y justificaremos su necesidad y buscaremos responder algunas objeciones relativas al imperativo ético defendido, como, por ejemplo, el valor per se de la acreditación de los comités de ética en investigación en la protección de los participantes, la inversión de tiempo y burocracia que implican los procesos de acreditación y el marco regulatorio incipiente para las investigaciones en seres humanos en el Paraguay. Finalmente, propondremos el fortalecimiento de la gobernanza de la ética de la investigación en el país, como medio principal para establecer, implementar y supervisar un sistema de acreditación de los comités de ética de la investigación.
Una mirada bioética a la representación social de la discapacidad psicosocial
Authors: Calle Carrasco Ana , Campillay Campillay Maggie
Published: June 2023

La representación social facilita la construcción de un modelo explicativo que permite comprender el contexto y los significados en torno a fenómenos, tales como la discriminación y estigma sobre aquellas personas que están limitadas de ejercer sus derechos y deberes de manera plena e igualitaria, como es el caso de las personas con discapacidad psicosocial. Este trabajo contribuye a la reflexión desde una perspectiva bioética, por lo que aborda aspectos teóricos de la representación social de personas con discapacidad psicosocial en el contexto de salud y desde el déficit de ciudadanía que limita la participación efectiva de estas personas en la sociedad. Se puede decir que las representaciones sociales que se tiene el personal sanitario de las personas con discapacidad psicosocial han sido influenciadas por corrientes teóricas del paradigma médico rehabilitador. Esto determina el predominio de intervenciones paternalistas, ya que se les considera población vulnerable en sentido negativo. Junto con esto, se asocia a una carga estigmática hacia personas con trastornos de salud mental, característico del modelo médico. Al respecto, es posible considerar acciones que prevengan la discriminación de este grupo en el contexto sanitario, con el fin de abandonar la noción “capacitista” de la discapacidad en la práctica clínica y equilibrar los riesgos y beneficios en torno a una visión que privilegie la autonomía, Además, de tomar acciones dirigidas hacia la ciudadanía que promuevan el reconocimiento de la diversidad de las sociedades democráticas.
Heterodyne Laser Doppler Vibrometer with squeezed light enhancement
Authors: Yu Mengwei , Schnabel Roman , Gewecke Pascal , Suedbeck Jan , Schoenbeck Axel , Rembe Christian
Published: June 2023

An important feature of heterodyne laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) is the possibility of measuring an optical path length oscillation at frequency f at a choosable frequency f_het-f, at which the photo-electric detector shows a sufficiently high dark noise clearance. The full squeezed light enhancement of a heterodyne LDV's signal to noise has not been achieved so far.
Here we use a sideband spectrum that is squeezed around f_het=40 MHz and demonstrate the squeezing enhanced measurement of an optical path length vibration at f=1 MHz of about 3.5 dB while fully maintaining the signal power. The proof of principle we provide will enable the realization of ultra-precise LDVs over extended signal bandwidth for probes or environments that require low intensities.
In lieu of flowers: An a/r/tographic journey of apology and forgiveness
Authors: Long Nancy
Published: June 2023

This research-creation project explored the tension and evolving relationship between the author and the public memorial to the victims of the Montreal massacre, a space she had been avoiding for over twenty years. The victims were fourteen women, who, in 1989, were gunned down at their university in Montreal in a violent act of misogyny. A public green space, the Place du 6-décembre-1989, was inaugurated on the tenth anniversary of the shooting and houses a monument titled, Nef pour quatorze reines. The project stemmed directly from the author’s first-time visit. The creative process enabled a conversation with matter, allowing the author to reconcile her unsettling relationship with the site and its memorial. Discomfort and vulnerability evolved into an emergent pedagogical story, and an apology in the form of tracings, or visual letters, as peace offerings to each of the fourteen women and as an act of self-forgiveness.

Published: June 2023

This article highlights a series of artworks that reflect my approach to art education. Housed in an abandoned storefront-turned-gallery in Salt Lake City, the work was part of a project titled ‘The Wandering Art Center: From Lower Manhattan to the Colorado Plateau’. In my role as both artist and educator, I discuss how my art practice is the inspiration behind my teaching and how my teaching informs my art. This dialectic exchange includes the ecological, or more-than-human, members of my cultural ecology. The article maps this exchange as it explores the practice of walking, as both an artistic methodology and an educational strategy.

Jude Tallichet’s sculpture of ordinary objects: Life as we don’t quite know it
Authors: Sperling Joy
Published: June 2023

This essay explores how the visual world not only speaks to us passively but can also expect us to respond actively. It proposes that an installation/exhibition of sculpture, in this case Jude Tallichet’s Heat Map, which opened at Smack Mellon and closed again within days as the city went into a COVID-19-induced lockdown, can transform into a set of presumptive living visual identities in the making that ask us to respond to their invitation to visual and social conversation. The installation was not originally about COVID-19, but as the nation changed, so did its meaning. By inverting the question of how artists respond to a critical situation by asking instead how images respond to external events over time, we can begin to comprehend not just how artists make meaning with works of art but how works of art make meaning within themselves. My analytical framework leads to an acknowledgement that there are many kinds of visual culture and many kinds of artists across culture. Art is no longer for the privileged and artists are no longer their subalterns. Our conversations with the art constituting our visual culture should be as diverse and as individual today as their visual creations.

Time, space and art: The Olympic poster and the chronotope
Authors: Milián Marvin R.
Published: June 2023

The visual aesthetic of the Olympic Games fuses time and space into the commodification of sport and culture. Rarely does poster art function beyond commodity and advertising. Spanning over a hundred years, the Olympics has adopted the poster as an artefact of the games, documenting the event’s spirit in concert with the essence of the host city. The union of time and space functioning under one aesthetic device, the poster, brings forth Mikhail Bakhtin’s revolutionary theory of the chronotope that the Russian philosopher and critic exposed in language and literature. This article will look at the poster not as evidence of the commodification of sport but as a dialogic medium of time and space. By investigating the nuance of typography and visual aesthetics of Olympic poster art concerning the chronotope, the poster elevates beyond advertising tool performing as a form of artistic dialogue within the culture. This novel interpretation of the Olympic poster as a dialogic exponent of the chronotope will reimagine Olympic art as temporally communitive. Specific poster examples will compose a conversation that reflects a nexus of time and space. Revolving around the intertextual temporality of Bakhtin’s chronotope, the Olympic poster comes to life.
Potential for post-combustion carbon capture system in Sudan
Authors: MOHAMED BABIKER IBRAHIM
Published: June 2023

This study aims to investigate the effect of integrating carbon capture unit (post-combustion carbon capture (PCC) system) to a fossil fuel power plant (sponge coke fired power plant) and how to use different options of energy supply to cover the energy requirements of carbon capture unit. The case study used is Garri VI power plant (a 110 MWe sponge coke fired power plant, contains two parts of 55.04 MWe for each ) burning sponge coke and emitting 100.76 tonnes/h of CO 2 .

The option of using steam extraction from the station was analyzed. The results showed a decrease in the efficiency from 29.5 % to 18.4 % and power generation from 55.04 to 31.3 MWe of plant.
Subacute Appendicular Abscess Masquerading as Neoplasia Causing Large Bowel Obstruction
Authors: Katamreddy Yamini , Fadeyi Olaniyi , Konturek Thomas J.
Published: June 2023

Acute appendicitis is the most common reason for emergency abdominal surgery worldwide. Nonacute appendicitis variants include recurrent, subacute, and chronic appendicitis. Although these are not considered surgical emergencies, they are frequently overlooked, resulting in complications such as perforation or abscess formation. The presentation of nonacute forms is rare in the modern era because of sophisticated diagnostic modalities and treatment measures. We discuss a rare case of subacute appendicular abscess simulating a neoplasm with large bowel obstruction.
Finite Element Investigation of Angle Ring Confinement for Clustered Large-size Stud Shear Connector in Full-Depth Precast Concrete Bridge Deck Panel
Authors: Sriboonma Krissachai , Boonmee Chichaya , Pornpeerakeat Sacharuck , Rodsin Kittipoom , Chaiwino Natawut
Published: June 2023

Full-Depth Precast Concrete (FDPC) bridge deck panel system, consisting of concrete deck and steel girders, has been used widely for highway and bridge construction due to rapid construction and replacement as well as in terms of economics. This system could integrate with clusters of large size headed-stud shear connectors for more significant connection, although larger composite actions were experienced. Therefore, a new angle steel ring confinement was introduced and tested by push-off samples for the most effective shear transfer. The Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of the push-off model with an in-depth investigation of non-linear concrete properties, boundary parameters, and different geometries of angle ring confinement was developed in this study. The FE models were verified with the push-off test in terms of loads, displacements, and failure stages. Nonlinear concrete material models: Concrete Damage (CD) and Drucker Prager (DP) were identified the different abilities either for predicting initial cracks, or determining maximum resistance and critical failure, respectively. The thickness of the angle and the sizes of hook bars were investigated for the most effective aspects of the angle ring confinement. The results showed comparable stiffness and load resistance for various aspects. However, compatible geometries, either 5 mm thick angles with DB12 hook bars or 10 mm angles with DB25 hook bars, were suggested. The final non-linear FEA model was reliable for comparative studies to FDPC push-off with different confinement configurations.
Eschatology, the Elimination of Evil, and the Ontology of Time
Authors: Hollingsworth Andrew
Published: June 2023

Part and parcel of the eschatology of the three Abrahamic faiths is the belief that sin and evil will be eliminated upon the consummation of God’s kingdom on earth. Not only do these beliefs affirm that God will ultimately “deal” with the problem of sin and evil, but that sin and evil will be no more. I refer to this eschatological belief as “the elimination of evil” (EOE). The EOE has important implications for how one understands the ontology of time. In this paper, I contribute to this discussion by arguing that ontologies of time that affirm the concrete existence of past moments are incompatible with the EOE. I also argue that solutions based on theories of hypertime, such as those posited by Tyron Goldschmidt and Samuel Lebens, also fail to solve the problems posed to those ontologies of time affirming the concrete existence of the past. I conclude that the ontology of time that best facilitates the EOE is presentism.
Variability of genetic - morphological traits of eleven seed strains of Mangifera indica L. growing in Upper Egypt
Authors: ZAKI Hoida , MANSOUR Mona Mohamed , OSMAN Samah Osman Ahmed , HUSSEIN Nagwa Rabie Ahmed
Published: June 2023

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is one of the tastiest fruits in the world, with numerous advantages beyond their economic value. Eleven genotypes of mango various cultivars were examined for variability, heritability, and genetic advance, as well as multivariate analysis based on cluster and principal component analysis (PCA) for yield and some of its contributing traits during the two growing seasons, 2021 and 2022. All studied traits showed significant differences, and the phenotypic coefficients of variation (PCV) were found to be higher than genotypic coefficients of variation (GCV), supporting the idea that morphological (genetic) traits are more prevalent than environmental influence. All traits had substantial heritability ranging from 75.63 to 99.93 %, and the highest significant genetic advance (119.09 %) was for the number of fruits per tree than other traits. Four clusters were formed, i.e., clusters I and IV had four genotypes, cluster II had two, and cluster III had one genotype. The highest cluster mean values for fruit diameter, fruit mass, yield per tree, and the number of fruits per tree were found in Cluster II, followed by cluster I. Greater genetic divergence was found between ‘Zebda’  or ‘S9’ or ‘S10’ with most other genotypes, indicating that these genotypes may be used to study the characters’ broad range of variability and to yield high-quality recombinant lines. In light of the fact that mango is a very heterozygous crop, our current genetic results can be used for the selection of the appropriate parents in hybridization programs and in vegetative propagation to yield selective traits.

Nowadays, effective protection of personal data is one of the fundamental issues of a democratic state under the rule of law. Therefore, the legislator should be very precise about the principles and standards of data processing. In the last few decades, in particular, the development of new technologies, digitalisation and the increase in the need for electronic communication has become evident, which leads to the adoption of appropriate regulations for the handling of personal data. In addition, the EU legislator has introduced the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in order to harmonise the regulations of EU Member States regarding the protection of personal data. This provides a framework for the proper functioning of legal provisions across the European Union regarding the handling of personal data of its citizens.The aim of the article is to identify the legal changes resulting from the Personal Data Protection Regulation, with a particular focus on the persons to which they apply and then to analyse the regulation of ‘the right to be forgotten’. In the first part of the article, attention is drawn to the way personal data are processed and the scope of obligations incumbent on data controllers. This is because data controllers are, together with the personal data protection officer, responsible for recording data processing activities, including ongoing monitoring and responding to situations of inaccurate data processing. The second part focuses on the right to be forgotten and the assessment of this entitlement in the perspective of Regulation 2016/679. The research methods include an analysis of legal acts, at the same time using the subject literature.
Koncepcja dzielnej ofiary a obszary kulturowo-prawnej dyskryminacji instytucjonalnej kobiet w Polsce
Authors: Kaptur Klaudia M.
Published: June 2023

Institutional discrimination against women in Poland is a social problem that persists despite constitutional guarantees of gender equality and legislation providing for compensatory measures. The article analyzes the possibility of using M. Marody’s concept of the “brave victim” as a means of designing compensatory actions in legislation and enforcement that will help eliminate institutional discrimination. Institutional discrimination is defined in legal doctrine as discrimination that occurs at the level of a given institution, organization, or even society as a whole.The article also analyzes cultural and social factors that condition or contribute to the deepening of legal and social inequality for women. The article identifies areas of institutional discrimination in Poland, including: the labor market, parental rights, social rights, access to political functions, and increasing women’s participation in public life.The analysis of national legal regulations and regulations implemented from EU law indicates the heterogeneity of protection against discrimination. The article proposes conditions and principles for the application of special legal solutions that establish anti-discrimination standards applicable in the current social conditions in Poland.The concept of the “brave victim” is a social fact that the legislator should take into account when designing policy law to avoid social tensions and develop effective legal solutions to counter discrimination.
Technology Acceptance and Readiness among different Generations of Urban Touists
Authors: Smith Melanie K. , Coronel Monica
Published: June 2023

THE AIMS OF THE PAPER
Several motivators and inhibitors for technology acceptance and readiness have been identified, however, propensity to use digital tools can vary according to different factors, one of them being the users’ age. This study seeks to explore the technology acceptance and readiness of different generations of tourists in an urban destination.
METHODOLOGY
This qualitative study comprised 94 face-to-face interviews conducted during autumn 2019 and the spring of 2020 (before COVID-19) to foreign visitors from different age groups close to the main attractions in Budapest, Hungary. Interviews gathered visitors’ thoughts, experiences, and perceptions about tourism and technology. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed and content analysed applying a deductive approach.
MOST IMPORTANT RESULTS
Baby Boomers are more inhibited than motivated in terms of technology readiness due to the lack of technical knowledge and challenges of use. Generation X are more optimistic about the usage of technologies driven by convenience and social influence. Younger generations use a wider range of digital tools while travelling due to greater levels of optimism and innovativeness. However, some participants from Generation Y1 and X consciously limit the use of technologies as they consider them disruptive. Findings also show that motivators tend to be more closely related to utilitarian rather than hedonic factors for all generations. Smartphones and Google Maps are the most used digital tools.
This novel study focuses on different models and approaches for technology acceptance and readiness from a generational perspective exploring the so-called ‘digital gap’. Furthermore, this study explores the correlation between different determinants of the proposed models. The context of an urban destination is also relatively novel, as many previous studies have focused rather on individual sites.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Urban destinations should facilitate conditions to encourage acceptance and readiness of technology among urban tourists. This not only includes digital infrastructure (e.g. WI-FI), but digital solutions and apps (e.g. tour guides in different languages) designed to attract different target markets (i.e. generations).
Systematic literature and modeling review of Personal Branding
Authors: Szántó Péter
Published: June 2023

In recent years, Personal Branding is gaining more and more attention as a concept in academica, within the fields of management and business studies. Even-though having more than 100 academic studies published on the phenomenon to this date, connecting the concept with areas like management, psychology, communication, entrepreneurship and others, it lacks fundamentals, due to factors such as, diversity of definitions and finding its place within academia. Being a fragmented research area, it is crucial to get an understanding of its origins and draw a clear path of its heterogeneous nature in order to create a base for advancement of research both in theoretical and empirical aspects. This paper aims to review the origins and contemporary literature and show directions of an integrated model of standardization of the effect of Personal Branding on Business Development. By conducting a systematic literature review, the paper 1) identifies key characteristics of constructs, 2) compares the existing theoretical models and their findings, and 3) analyzes concepts in order to propose a widely usable definition of Personal Branding. The summary of the literature review results in a proposed outline of models, trends, drivers, outcomes, and processes as well, based on the findings of other reviewed studies. The review keeps an important highlight on not only scientific, but real life practical usability as well. Finally, the paper outlines the further touchpoints of research that can be discussed in order to understand the phenomenon of Personal Branding as a determinative factor within the success metrics of business development.
Long-Term Neurophysiological Adaptations to Strength Training: A Systematic Review With Cross-Sectional Studies

Santos, PDG, Vaz, JR, Correia, J, Neto, T, and Pezarat-Correia, P. Long-term neurophysiological adaptations to strength training: a systematic review with cross-sectional studies.J Strength Cond Res37(10): 2091–2105, 2023—Neuromuscular adaptations to strength training are an extensively studied topic in sports sciences. However, there is scarce information about how neural mechanisms during force production differ between trained and untrained individuals. The purpose of this systematic review is to better understand the differences between highly trained and untrained individuals to establish the long-term neural adaptations to strength training. Three databases were used for the article search (PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus). Studies were included if they compared groups of resistance-trained with untrained people, aged 18–40 year, and acquired electromyography (EMG) signals during strength tasks. Twenty articles met the eligibility criteria. Generally, strength-trained individuals produced greater maximal voluntary activation, while reducing muscle activity in submaximal tasks, which may affect the acute response to strength training. These individuals also presented lower co-contraction of the antagonist muscles, although it depends on the specific training background. Global intermuscular coordination may be another important mechanism of adaptation in response to long-term strength training; however, further research is necessary to understand how it develops over time. Although these results should be carefully interpreted because of the great disparity of analyzed variables and methods of EMG processing, chronic neural adaptations seem to be decisive to greater force production. It is crucial to know the timings at which these adaptations stagnate and need to be stimulated with advanced training methods. Thus, training programs should be adapted to training status because the same stimulus in different training stages will lead to different responses.
A Consumer Perspective on Personality Diagnostic Systems: One Size Does Not Fit All
Authors: Cano Kiana , Sharp Carla
Published: June 2023

Although providers and patients may largely agree on what is essential to clinically useful assessment and diagnosis, patients have a unique voice and contribute additional information to our conceptualization of clinical utility. The current study evaluated the clinical utility of three diagnostic models (Section II categorial, Section III hybrid, and the original ICD-11 dimensional) from the consumer/user perspective. Participants included 703 undergraduate students and 154 family members or individuals with borderline personality disorder. Participants rated mock diagnostic reports on six indices of clinical utility. Results indicated that undergraduates favored categorical reports over the original ICD-11 dimensional reports on three of six indices but rated categorical and hybrid reports as essentially equivalent. In the patient/family sample, participants favored the hybrid or categorical model on all indices. Our findings speak to the value of a clear diagnostic label and suggest that future iterations of the DSM adopting a hybrid or dimensional model should have a continued focus on simplicity in communication.
