Authors:   Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (España), Espino-Rodríguez Tomas F. , Gebril Taha Mahmoud ,   Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (España)
Published: June 2023

The paper analyses outsourcing in the hotel sector in Egypt. It presents the main levels of outsourcing of the main hotel services or activities. Moreover, it also analyses the main benefits and risks perceived by the surveyed managers of this outsourcing strategy. Data have been collected from 114 hotels in two sun and sand resort cities in Egypt (Sharm el Sheikh and Hurgada). The results indicate that the most outsourced activities are entertainment, transport services, information systems and maintenance with the least outsourced activities as reception, room cleaning, laundry and food and beverage. In terms of perceived benefits, the main benefits relate to the focus on core competencies and helping to cover the urgent needs of the hotel; while the main risks of outsourcing relate to the detrimental impact of outsourcing on the hotel’s resources and capabilities and on the hotel’s performance.

The present research proposes a methodology to analyse the degree of incidence of social media in the management of the online presence of the hotel sector in Mallorca. To this end, the Social Media Maturity Index of the Tourism Offer (IMMSOT) has been designed, which allows the situation of tourism organisations in social media to be analysed on the basis of three dimensions associated with their social media marketing strategy: engagement, channels/tools and destination. The results obtained show that the hotel sector in Mallorca makes little use of this type of tool. Moreover, differences have been observed in their use depending on the category and geographical location of the hotel establishments.

Authors:   Universidad Provincial del Sudoeste (Argentina), Canclini Eunice , Pupio Maria Alejandra ,   Universidad Nacional del Sur  (Argentina), Bustos Cara Roberto ,   Universidad Nacional del Sur  (Argentina)
Published: June 2023

Tourist activity in lower‑ranking communities activates complex processes of heritage, such as those observed in the town of Cabildo, Buenos Aires, Argentina. The work began in 2012 to design a community cultural tourist circuit. Perceptions about heritage and the cultural landscape were defined through participatory action research. The results indicated dissimilar identity references over the selected age groups (older adults, adults, adolescents) and configurations of the heritage and cultural landscape particular to each sector, information that favoured the design of a tourist circuit integrating the different visions. This participatory experience allows us to discuss the participation of state agencies in the promotion and articulation of community proposals and reflect on these axes: is it possible to build an intergenerational heritage from cultural tourism? How do public bodies work and what role do they play?
El reflejo de “lo típico”. La construcción de productos turísticos en Chaco (Argentina)
Authors:   Universidad Nacional de Misiones (Argentina), Perret Myriam Fernanda
Published: June 2023

Using the notion of fetishism, we analyse the construction of Chaco touristic products, delving into the social relations that are made invisible appearing in the physical shape of objects with value. We continue research initiated in 2012 and 2019 (referring to processes of commodification of Chaco indigenous handicrafts and culture in tourist‑cultural projects). We use the ethnographic method, covering ethnographic interview and reviews of official documents and websites. The construction of the products in question, by tour operators, state agents and non‑governmental organizations, involves an administration of perceptions that articulate reality and fiction. The fiction of “the typical” as something that is there to be shown is linked to products presented as the same after through operations of selection, naming, hierarchisation, demonstration, translation and certification. These operations, however, remain unfocused, thus promoting the sense of “the typical” as something that is there.
Approximation of planar point sets by point configurations
Authors:   Omsk State Technical University, Yurkov V. Yu.
Published: June 2023

The paper is devoted to planar linear point sets having hierarchical structure. Point configurations arise naturally in several areas of computational geometry. In the paper, the linear approximation of planar point configurations is discussed. Planar point configuration is considered as a fuzzed and deformed image of some ideal configuration. Also, it may be considered as random realizations of ideal one. Pure images and deformed ones are described by the same hierarchical structures. The structure of approximating configuration is determined a priory. Image approximation is realized by mean of least square restoration. The correspondence of the structures is one of the parameters of approximation. Identification procedure is realized by linear transformations. Similarity transformations as general ones are used in the calculations.

The article presents the results of a study of the conceptual foundations of the sustainability of technological development in the context of import substitution. The considered methodology of sustainability determines the purpose and key tasks, organizational and economic algorithm, methodological principles of technological development. The distinctive features of the proposed methodology include: systematization of typological factors of sustainability of technological development; justification of factors influencing the sustainability of technological development. The concept under consideration clarifies the key principles of the classical theory of sustainability of development, which make it possible to explore problem areas that hinder technological development. In the context of the actual implementation of the methodology of sustainability of technological development, a methodological approach to the choice of options for assessing the program of sustainability of technological development is justified. It is advisable to implement the proposed approach on the basis of quantitative indicators formed on the basis of displaying the qualitative certainty of innovation-oriented and progressive technologies. The advantage of the proposed approach is the substantiation of the typological sequence of the formation of the structure of the program of sustainability of technological development of an industrial enterprise. The advantages of the proposed approach include the possibility of specifying the estimated indicators and their impact on the sustainability of the technological development of an industrial enterprise: 1) the achievability of a quantitative assessment of the level of losses or the amount of profitability based on the selected option of the program of sustainability of technological development of an industrial enterprise; 2) the high possibility of detecting the factors of problematic situations that cause the need for their immediate leveling; 3) the potential for the formation of a real system process of integrating innovation-oriented and progressive technologies into the formation of the production and technological potential of industrial enterprises; 4) creating conditions for the development of optimal program and scenario options for the sustainability of technological development.

Remimazolam: A New Ingress in Cardiac Surgical Intensive Care Unit
Authors: Choudhury Minati , Kapoor Poonam Malhotra
Published: June 2023

Remimazolam is a novel intravenous ultrashort acting benzodiazepine that has a potential for safe and effective sedative. This recent addition in anesthesia armamentarium has a great role in procedural sedation and general anesthesia which is well-approved. The main beauty of this drug is, if needed its effects can be reversed by flumazenil which allows prompt termination of sedation. Remimizolam has fast predictive effect and recovery time, high procedural success rate, and minor respiratory and hemodynamic fluctuation when used for procedural sedation and general anesthesia. Although has a great potential for sedation in patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU), some randomized trials are necessary to prove its long-term efficacy and safety in patients admitted to ICU.

Authors: Laxmi Mathukumalli Sai , Prabhakar Orsu
Published: June 2023

Objectives:

Risk prediction scores are important for early diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of type 2 diabetes, but the early diagnosis is challenging. This study developed a risk prediction model for DPN based on modifiable risk factors.

Materials and Methods:

The study included 315 type 2 diabetes patients with and without DPN. Demographic, biochemical, and diagnostic data were collected. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors for DPN.

Results:

Hemoglobin% and total red blood cells were identified as independent risk factors for DPN, used to develop a risk prediction score.

Conclusion:

The risk prediction score developed in this study can be used by physicians to quickly assess a patient’s risk of DPN and select appropriate therapeutic options. Routine monitoring of modifiable risk factors can improve DPN prognosis. Patients stratified by risk scores can better understand their risk and seek appropriate care.

Authors: Shekhawat Anil Singh , Mathur Rahul , Sarkar Siddharth , Kaloiya Gauri Shanker , Balhara Yatan Pal Singh
Published: June 2023

Objectives:

Effective interventions for cannabis use disorders are fairly limited. The present randomized controlled trial (RCT) aimed to compare the reduction in cannabis use (number of days cannabis used) with brief intervention and simple advice in patients with cannabis use disorder.

Materials and Methods:

This non-blinded and parallel two-group RCT included 100 male patients with cannabis use disorder. A semi-structured pro forma and severity of dependence scale (SDS) were used. Participants were then randomized to either of the two arms (brief intervention and simple advice) in a 1:1 ratio. Cannabis use patterns and SDS scores were assessed over the phone at week 4, week 8, and week 12.

Results:

The two groups were comparable in sociodemographics and cannabis use characteristics. Participants in both groups were using cannabis for 30 days in the past month before enrolment. The brief intervention group had a lesser number of days of cannabis use vis-a-vis the simple advice group at 4, 8, and 12 weeks. There was a significant time effect for change in SDS scores (F = 30.629, P < 0.001), but the group effect was not significant (F = 0.379, P = 0.541).

Conclusion:

In this population of regular cannabis users, brief intervention may be useful in reducing cannabis usage. It can be integrated into routine assessments and management of those with regular use of cannabis.
Multiple Abscesses in the Frontal, Temporal and Brainstem regions in a 4.5-year-Old Girl- An Illustrative Case Report
Authors: Mohammad Retaj , Crimmins Darach
Published: June 2023

Background:

Brainstem located abscesses are rare in the pediatric population. Diagnosis of brain abscess can be challenging as patients may present with nonspecific symptoms and the classical triad of headache, fever, and focal neurological deficit is not always present. Treatment can be conservative or a combination of surgical intervention with antimicrobial therapy.

Case Description:

We present the first case of a 4.5-year-old girl with acute lymphoblastic leukemia that developed infective endocarditis (IE) and subsequently developed 3 suppurative collections (frontal, temporal, and brainstem). The patient had negative cerebrospinal, blood, and pus culture growth and subsequently underwent burr-hole drainage of the frontal and temporal abscesses with a 6-week course of intravenous antibiotic therapy with an uneventful postoperative course. At 1 year, the patient is left with minor right lower limb hemiplegia and no cognitive sequelae.

Conclusion:

The decision to surgically intervene for brainstem abscesses is dependent on surgeon and patient factors including the presence of multiple collections, midline shift, the aim of source identification in sterile cultures, and the patient’s neurological condition. Patients with hematological malignancies should be monitored closely for IE which is a risk factor for hematogenous spread of brainstem located abscesses.
Delayed stenosis associated with sublaminar band placement in the thoracic spine for proximal junctional kyphosis
Authors: Gibbs David , Grossbach Andrew James , Mallory Noah , Toop Nathaniel , Viljoen Stephanus
Published: June 2023

Background:

Proximal junctional thoracic kyphosis (PJK) is common following adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery and may require revision operations. In this case series, we present delayed complications associated with the use of sublaminar banding (SLBs) for PJK prophylaxis.

Case Description:

Three patients underwent long-segment thoracolumbar decompression and fusions for ASD. All had undergone SLB placement for PJK prophylaxis. All three subsequently developed neurologic complications secondary to cephalad spinal cord compression/stenosis requiring urgent revision surgery.

Conclusion:

The placement of SLBs placed to prevent PJK may lead to sublaminar inflammation contributing to severe cephalad spinal canal stenosis and myelopathy following ASD surgery. Surgeons should be aware of this potential complication and may consider alternatives to SLB placement to avoid this complication.

Published: June 2023

Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) will behave fundamentally differently than human drivers. In mixed traffic, this could lead to inefficiencies and safety-critical situations since neither human drivers nor CAVs will be able to fully anticipate or predict surrounding traffic dynamics. Thus, some researchers proposed to separate CAVs from conventional vehicles by dedicating exclusive lanes to them. However, the separation of road infrastructure can negatively impact the system’s capacity. While the effects of CAV lanes were addressed for freeways, their deployment in urban settings is not yet fully understood. This paper systematically analyzes the effects of CAV-lanes in an urban setting accounting for the corresponding complexities. We employ microscopic traffic simulation to model traffic flow dynamics in a detailed manner and to be able to consider a wide array of supply-related characteristics. These concern intersection geometry, public transport operation, traffic signal control, and traffic management. Our study contributes to the existing literature by revealing the potential of CAV lanes in an urban setting while accounting for the behavioral and topological complexities. The results of this study can support decision-makers in the design of future urban transportation systems and to prepare cities for the upcoming era of automation in traffic.

Unlimiting Ionic Conduction: Manipulating Hydration Dynamics through Vibrational Strong Coupling of Water
Authors: Fukushima Tomohiro , Yoshimitsu Soushi , Murakoshi Kei
Published: June 2023

The energy states of molecules and the vacuum electromagnetic field can hybridize to form a strong coupling state. In particular, it has been demonstrated that vibrational strong coupling can be used to modify the chemical dynamics of molecules. Here, we propose that ion dynamics can be altered through modifications of the dynamic hydration structure in a cavity vacuum field. We conducted investigations on various electrolyte species to explore their impact on ionic conductivity. Infrared spectroscopy of aqueous electrolyte solutions within the cavity confirmed the occurrence of vibrational ultra-strong coupling behavior of water molecules, even in the presence of electrolytes. Interestingly, we observed significant enhancements in ionic conductivity, several times greater for alkali cations, particularly those classified as structure-breaking cations. These enhancements are both feasible and cannot be explained within the current theoretical framework for liquid electrolytes. Our analysis confirmed that the vibrational strong coupling leads to the modification of local dielectric friction experienced by hydrated ions. Additionally, we propose the enthalpic and entropic modifications of ionic conductivity through systematic investigations of electrolytes and their hydration properties. This study unveiled the potential role of polaritons in opening up possibilities for exploring uncharted spaces in the design of materials for enhanced ionic conduction. By harnessing the unique properties of strong coupling and its influence on hydration dynamics, we can pave the way for the development of novel electrolytes and advancements in the field of ionic conduction.

Published: June 2023

The field of developing electroconductive artificial scaffolds that can imitate the architecture of human tissues is growing rapidly. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and poly(-caprolactone) (PCL) are the two gold standards for achieving the required conductivity and robustness in such materials. In this study, we present a novel light-induced method for fabricating a PEDOT-PCL scaffold using phenacyl bromide (PAB) as a single-component photoinitiator. The release of HBr from the step-growth polymerization of EDOT was utilized as in situ catalyst for the chain-growth polymerization of caprolactone. Detailed investigations revealed the formation of a self-assembled nanoporous electroconductive (1.2 mS/cm) scaffold which was characterized by several spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. The fluorescence emission spectra exhibited a mixed solvatochromic behavior, indicating specific interactions between the self-assembled scaffold, as evidenced by TEM, and solvents with varying polarities.

Background:The technology of nanoparticles has been expanded to many aspects of modern life. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles were of many nanomaterials utilized in biomedical applications. The interactions between nanoparticles and proteins are believed to be the base for the biological effect of the nanoparticles. The oxidation reaction of many substances is catalyzed by oxidizing enzymes called peroxidases. The activity of salivary peroxidase is elevated with periodontal diseases. the aim ofthis study is to examine the action of titanium dioxide nanoparticles on salivary peroxidase activity.Material and method75 participants were enrolled in this study—Periodontitis group with 44 participants and the non-periodontitis group with 31 participants. The participants' age range was 35 to 50 years for both groups. The clinical parameters of plaque index, gingival index, probing pocket depth and clinical attachment level were used in this study to determine the presence or absence of the periodontal disease. Unstimulated saliva was collected from all participants and analyzed for the activity of peroxidase enzyme under the effect of titanium dioxide nanoparticles. ResultsThe Periodontitis group showed higher peroxidase enzyme activity than the non-periodontitis group and the activity of salivary peroxidase showed no correlation with the clinical parameters. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles increased salivary peroxidase activity. ConclusionThis study demonstrated that the solid surface of nanoparticles could induce changes in the attached protein molecule which in turn causes changes in the effect of the nanoparticles on living tissue or organism. The titanium dioxide nanoparticles Play a role in increasing the activity of salivary peroxidase within the saliva of chronic periodontitis patients.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the land rights over apartment units related to the right to ownership of apartments that can now be owned by foreign nationals. Ownership of land rights over flats does not fully adhere to the horizontal principle as stated in the UUPA. Because these rights can be owned by all ownership rights over flats. Flats can be given to anyone who qualifies as a land rights holder. The research shows that there are now many foreign nationals and foreign legal entities who own flats (apartments) in Indonesia. Both for business, investment and residential purposes. However, all actions of ownership of Sarusun, foreign citizens must still refer to the rules of law for foreign countries, as well as foreign legal entities. The ownership rules must still pay attention to the provisions of Act No. 5 of 1960 concerning Basic Regulations on Agrarian Principles (UUPA), Act No. 2 of 2011 concerning Flats, Act No. 11 of 2011 concerning Job Creation Rights, Government Regulation Number 18 of 2021 concerning Management Rights, Land Ownership Rights, Building Rights, Flat Units, and Land Registration as well as several other rules that are currently in effect.

The purpose of this research is to analyze collateral benefits, mortgage security institution, principles of security law, the problem of good faith in debt agreement, legal protection for debtors if debt collateral objects are transferred into sale and purchase objects. The granting of credit to the debtor should be bound by a principal agreement and an accessory agreement for the collateral provided, but it happens that the debtor is bound by a principal agreement and a sale and purchase bond agreement along with a power of sale. When the debtor defaults, the name will be changed to the name of the creditor. The research method in this research is normative juridical research method, and the approach method used is Statute Approach, and Conceptual Approach. The result of the research is that debtors who have obtained debts from creditors and submitted land rights collateral, should be bound by an accesoir agreement, namely a mortgage right as in Act No. 4 of 1996, instead of binding the sale and purchase and power of sale. If this is still done by the creditor, the debtor can take a settlement method, namely: Alternative Dispute Resolution; Court.
