Published: July 2020

Abstract. Knudsen effusion mass spectrometry (KEMS) was used to
measure the solid state saturation vapour pressure
(PSsat) of a range of atmospherically
relevant nitroaromatic compounds over the temperature range from 298 to 328 K. The selection of species analysed contained a range of geometric isomers
and differing functionalities, allowing for the impacts of these factors on
saturation vapour pressure (Psat) to be probed. Three
subsets of nitroaromatics were investigated: nitrophenols,
nitrobenzaldehydes and nitrobenzoic acids. The
PSsat values were converted to subcooled liquid
saturation vapour pressure (PLsat) values using
experimental enthalpy of fusion and melting point values measured using
differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The
PLsat values were compared to those estimated by
predictive techniques and, with a few exceptions, were found to be up to 7
orders of magnitude lower. The large differences between the estimated
PLsat and the experimental values can be attributed to the predictive techniques not containing parameters to
adequately account for functional group positioning around an aromatic ring,
or the interactions between said groups. When comparing the experimental
PSsat of the measured compounds, the ability to hydrogen bond (H bond) and the strength of the H bond formed
appear to have the strongest influence on the magnitude of the
Psat, with steric effects and molecular weight also
being major factors. Comparisons were made between the KEMS system and data
from diffusion-controlled evaporation rates of single particles in an
electrodynamic balance (EDB). The KEMS and the EDB showed good agreement
with each other for the compounds investigated.

Abstract. In this study, the adsorption of Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions from aqueous solutions by powdered Delonix regia pods and leaves was investigated using batch adsorption techniques. The effects of operating conditions such as pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage, metal ion concentration and the presence of sodium ions interfering with the sorption process were investigated. The results obtained showed that equilibrium sorption was attained within 30 min of interaction, and an increase in the initial concentration of the adsorbate, pH and adsorbent dosage led to an increase in the amount of Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions adsorbed. The adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model for all metal ions' sorption. The equilibrium data fitted well with both the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms; the monolayer adsorption capacity (Q0 mg g−1) of the Delonix regia pods and leaves was 5.88 and 5.77 mg g−1 for Ni(II) ions respectively and 9.12 and 9.01 mg g−1 for Cu(II) ions respectively. The efficiency of the powdered pods and leaves of Delonix regia with respect to the removal of Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions was greater than 80 %, except for the sorption of Ni(II) ions onto the leaves. The desorption study revealed that the percentage of metal ions recovered from the pods was higher than that recovered from the leaves at various nitric acid concentrations. This study proves that Delonix regia biomass, an agricultural waste product (“agro-waste”), could be used to remove Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions from aqueous solution.
Research on the HMCVT gear shifting smoothness of the four-speed self-propelled cotton picker
Authors: Bao Mingxi , Ni Xiangdong , Zhao Xin , Li Shen
Published: July 2020

Abstract. To improve the HMCVT gear shifting smoothness of the
self-propelled cotton picker, the quadratic orthogonal rotation test was
carried out through the HMCVT test bench and control system with engine
speed, clutch oil pressure, flow control valve, load torque, displacement
ratio as the influencing factors while jerk, dynamic load coefficient, speed
drop, weighted acceleration RMS, frictional work as the response indexes.
The mathematical model between the response indexes and the influencing
factors was established through the data processing software Design Expert
10. After the single factor and multi-factor experimental analyses, the
parameters were optimized based on the response surface methodology to
obtain the optimal parameters. The test was carried out on the HMCVT test
bench with the optimized parameter combination. The engine output speed was
900 rpm, the clutch oil pressure was 3.5 MPa, the flow control valve was 4.9 L min−1, the load torque was 130 Nm and the displacement ratio was −0.93. The
result was as follows: the jerk was 5.04 m s−3, the weighted
acceleration RMS was 0.467, the speed drop was 20.32 rpm and the dynamic
load coefficient was 12.16. This study provides reference for the smooth
shifting of the self-propelled cotton picker, which is of a certain
significance to promote the operation of the self-propelled cotton picker
under multiple working conditions.
The role of large-scale dynamics in an exceptional sequence of severe thunderstorms in Europe May–June 2018
Authors: Mohr Susanna , Wilhelm Jannik , Wandel Jan , Kunz Michael , Portmann Raphael , Punge Heinz Jürgen , Schmidberger Manuel , Quinting Julian F. , Grams Christian M.
Published: July 2020

Abstract. Over 3 weeks in May and June 2018, an exceptionally large number of thunderstorms hit vast parts of western and central Europe, causing precipitation accumulations of up to 80 mm within 1 h and several flash floods.
This study examines the conditions and processes that made this particular thunderstorm episode exceptional, with a particular focus on the interaction of processes across scales. During the episode, a blocking situation persisted over northern Europe. Initially, the southwesterly flow on the western flank of the blocking anticyclone induced the advection of warm, moist, and unstably stratified air masses. Due to the low-pressure gradient associated with the blocking anticyclone, these air masses were trapped in western and central Europe, remained almost stationary, and prevented a significant air mass exchange. In addition, the weak geopotential height gradients led to predominantly weak flow conditions in the mid-troposphere and thus to low vertical wind shear that prevented thunderstorms from developing into severe organized systems. Due to a weak propagation speed in combination with high rain rates, several thunderstorms were able to accumulate enormous amounts of precipitation that affected local-scale areas and triggered several torrential flash floods. Atmospheric blocking also increased the upper-level cut-off low frequency on its upstream regions, which was up to 10 times higher than the climatological mean. Together with filaments of positive potential vorticity (PV), the cut-offs provided the mesoscale setting for the development of a large number of thunderstorms. During the 22 d study period, more than 50 % of lightning strikes can be linked to a nearby cut-off low or PV filament. The exceptionally persistent low stability over 3 weeks combined with a weak wind speed in the mid-troposphere has not been observed during the past 30 years.

The temple in images of the Annunciation: A double dogmatic symbol according to the Latin theological tradition (6th-15th centuries)
Authors: Salvador-González José María
Published: July 2020

This article aims to unveil the doctrinal meanings that many Church Fathers and theologians have deciphered in some Old Testament terms such as templum, tabernaculum, domus Sapientiae, arca and other similar expressions related to sacred spaces or containers. In many specific cases, they have interpreted these expressions as metaphors or symbols of the Virgin Mary’s womb and Christ’s human nature. As a consequence, these interpretive approaches are reflected in some images of the Annunciation of the 14th and 15th centuries. So this article will analyze first a selected set of patristic, theological, and liturgical texts, and secondly, will examine eight paintings of the Annunciation with a temple-shaped house to see if there is an essential relation between those exegetical texts and these pictorial images. Based on that double analysis, it seems reasonable to conclude that the temple depicted in these Annunciations is a visual metaphor that illustrates the doctrinal meanings decrypted by the Fathers and theologians in their interpretations of the textual metaphors mentioned above.

Exploring the impact of sharing personal narratives of brain injury through film in Australian Indigenous communities
Authors: Gauld Susan , Smith Sharon , Bianca Kendall Melissa
Published: July 2020

Aims: Culturally appropriate community education about brain injury prevention and supporting people with brain injury and their families is needed in Australian Indigenous communities. Narrative therapy offers a useful method in rehabilitation that may be particularly appropriate for Indigenous people. This paper aims to explore and describe the impact of sharing personal stories on film by Australian Indigenous families who have experienced acquired brain injury (ABI). Methods: Participatory Action Research approaches were used in the production of films describing personal stories of brain injury for three Australian Indigenous men and their families. Participants were involved in the conceptualization, development, filming and launch of the films in their own communities (one urban, one rural and one remote). The production of the films was followed by individual semi-structured interviews with film participants. Thematic analysis of interview data was undertaken. Results: While produced as an educational digital video disc (DVD) resource for improving brain injury prevention awareness and support in Australian Indigenous communities, participants identified five themes related to the benefits and challenges of the narrative filmmaking process, namely the motivation to tell their story, the experience of making the film, the social impact and benefits, the importance of the launch and the untold stories that remain. Conclusion: Storytelling by Australian Indigenous families through film was perceived by individuals with ABI and their families to have important personal benefits in addition to providing a culturally relevant community education resource. A recognition of the film as merely a snapshot in time is necessary however and ongoing opportunities for storytelling should be sought. Community launches of such resources are important for supporting families affected by brain injury and increasing awareness in their communities.
Comparative effectiveness of cognitive behavioural therapy combined with exercise versus exercise in the management of non-specific chronic low back pain: A systematic review with meta-analysis
Authors: Kwesi Ampiah Paapa , Hendrick Paul , Gonzalez Macias Erika
Published: July 2020

Aims: To systematically review the evidence for the effectiveness of combining cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and exercise versus exercise alone in the management of patients with non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP). Methods: Electronic search of CINAHL, PUBMED, Sports Discuss, SCOPUS, AMED, MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and EMBASE, between 1990 – July 2017; complemented by hand searching of citation lists and citation tracking. Two independent reviewers screened titles and abstracts from the retrieved search results. Studies were considered based on PRISMA guidelines. Data was extracted based on Cochrane the Handbook of Systematic Reviews guidelines; the Cochrane Data Collection Form for Intervention Reviews (RCTs only), was customized and utilized. Risk of bias assessment was undertaken utilizing the Cochrane Back Review Group recommendations employing two independent reviewers. Meta-analysis was used to produce a weighted average for primary outcome measures, namely pain and disability. Results: Four studies were included (n = 406 participants); all studies provided post intervention results on pain and disability. Meta-analysis showed no significant difference between groups for both pain and disability, post intervention in the short term (pain; SMD -0.02, 95% CI -0.23 to 0.19; disability; SMD 0.06, 95% CI -0.15 to 0.27); medium term (pain; SMD -0.01, 95% CI -0.24 to0.22; disability; SMD 0.00, 95% CI -0.23 to 0.23); and long term (pain; SMD 0.06, 95% CI -0.18 to 0.29; disability; SMD -0.06, 95% CI -0.39 to 0.27). Conclusion: The findings from this review reveal that there is no significant difference between groups; that is, there is moderate level evidence that the addition of CBT to exercise for patients with NSCLBP does not improve pain and disability outcomes in either the short, medium, or long term; however, both interventions (CBT plus exercise and exercise alone) produce favourable outcomes.
Extrarenal Nephroblastoma
Authors: Luvo Gaxa , Bafana Hlatshwayo
Published: July 2020

Introduction: As much as the nephroblastoma is almost exclusively known to be a renal tumor, some of the extrarenal locations, although rare, have been described in the literature. The sites of this rare entity (extrarenal nephroblastoma) reported entail the inguinal canals, retro-peritoneum, mediastinum, chest wall, ovaries, cervix, uterus and the prostate gland.
Case Report: We report a case of a 13-month-old boy who was referred from the peripheral hospital presenting with severe abdominal distention of three months duration. The patient was critical ill on arrival and had to be actively resuscitated. The patient was emaciated. No known past medical history reported and the patient had normal developmental milestones. On physical examination a large abdominopelvic mass was palpated. The patient also had sepsis confirmed with blood culture and hypoglycemia with a blood glucose measurement of 1.4 mmol/l saturation was 96% in room air and had episodes of gasping respiration, the heart beat was ranging between 110–140 bpm. The patient had pallor with hemoglobin 8.4 g/dL and had cold peripheries. Computed tomography scan and biopsy were performed and the diagnosis of an extrarenal large abdominopelvic nephroblastoma was made. The patient was later, after stabilization, treated with chemotherapy. The patient now remains in a critical general condition while on chemotherapy.
Conclusion: A nephroblastoma may present in some extrarenal sites which is quite an uncommon encounter, the most common of these rare sites being the retro-peritoneum. The final diagnosis is mainly histopathological. There are no specific management protocols and as a result the extrarenal tumors are managed in the same manner in which the intra-renal tumors are managed with a general good prognosis.

Published: July 2020

Aims: Does the addition of botulinum toxin type A increase the effect of casting for improving wrist extension after stroke in people with upper limb spasticity? Methods: Randomized trial with concealed allocation, assessor blinding and intention-to-treat analysis which was part of a larger trial included 18 adults with upper limb spasticity two years after stroke (89%) or stroke-like conditions (11%). The experimental group (n=7) received botulinum toxin type A injections to upper limb muscles for spasticity management followed by two weeks of wrist casting into maximum extension. The control group (n=11) received two weeks of casting only. Range of motion (goniometry) measured at baseline and after two weeks of casting. Results: Passive wrist extension for the experimental group improved over two weeks from 22 degrees (SD 16) to 54 degrees (SD 16), while the control group improved from 21 degrees (SD 29) to 43 degrees (SD 26). The experimental group increased passive wrist extension 13 degrees (95% CI 4 to 31) more than the control group which was not statistically significant. Conclusion: Joint range of motion improved over a two-week period for both groups. Botulinum toxin type A injection followed-by casting produced a mean, clinically greater range of motion than casting alone, therefore, a fully-powered trial is warranted.
Impact of COVID-19 on Cashew Price and Cashew Producers’ Income in Côte d’Ivoire: A Case Study in Five Departments
Authors: Ouattara N’Banan , Koné Clékaman Maïmouna , Xiong Xueping
Published: July 2020

In Côte d’Ivoire, cashew has become an important cash crop. Nevertheless, Côte d’Ivoire’s cashew relies on the international market, with more than 90% of the production exported as raw nuts. The 2020 commercialization campaign started a few days after the outbreak of COVID-19 in China, which spread worldwide. This work assesses the impact of this pandemic on the cashew price and cashew producers’ income in Côte d’Ivoire. We used the cashew price database over ten weeks in five cashew production areas and an interview-guided to collect the data. We used the Producer Price Index (PPI), descriptive statistic, and theoretical analysis of the income forecasting for data analysis. Results reveal that the lack of funds resulting from the fear of investors has caused a gradual drop in prices since February. This decrease has been more severe when restriction measures have been enforced. The purchase of cashews even stopped in some localities of the study areas. Compared to the first week of the campaign, the COVID-19 pandemic has reduced cashew producer income hugely to 50% in the sixth week and to 37.5% in the ninth and tenth weeks of our observation. Nonetheless, institutional factors such as the lack of control have also contributed to prices decrease. As recommendations, in the short-run, some resilience strategies such as subsidizing the local cashew market should be set up by the authorities. In the mid-term, the country should strengthen the cashew commercialization chain. In long-run, the local cashew transformation should be prioritized instead of raw nuts commercialization.
Demystifying the Contribution of African Indigenous Vegetables to Nutrition-Sensitive Value Chains in Kenya
Authors: Laibuni Nancy Munyiva , Losenge Turoop , Bokelmann Wolfgang
Published: July 2020

African Indigenous Vegetables (AIVs) are widely consumed in Kenya as part of everyday meals. They provide the much-needed micro-nutrients which are critical for combating micronutrient deficiencies (“hidden hunger”). The study describes the socio-economic characterizes of households in rural and peri-urban areas in Kenya and appraises the contribution of AIVs to household food access. The results show that there are spatial variations in the consumption of AIVs. Households living in rural areas have a wider variety of vegetables and consume their own production for an estimated ten months in a year; at the same time, purchase vegetables for between 6-7 months. Their peri-urban counterparts have less variety, consume their own produce for 11 months in the year and purchase for 8-9 months. Household income plays a critical role in enabling participation in food markets, Households living in rural areas earn significantly less on average from their land, their annual salary and net profits compared to their peri-urban colleagues. At least 40 per cent of households living in rural areas compared to an estimated 20 per cent in peri-urban areas grade their vegetables. In contrast, 50 per cent of all households wash their vegetables before consumption. In conclusion, households’ living in rural areas are net buyers of food, indicating that interventions to ensure increased consumption of AIVs must be accompanied by broad-based livelihood improvements to ensure that benefits accrue. Also, there is a need to underscore the importance of extension services as knowledge brokers.

Introduction:
Sciatica (Ischias) is a set of symptoms
associated with the compression of L4,
L5 and S1 spinal nerves, forming the
sciatic nerve, the largest peripheral
human nerve. Pain can radiate to the
buttock, lateral surface of the hip, calf
and foot. The individual risk factors for
sciatica include height, body mass,
muscle strength, and physical condition.
I n d i v i d u a l f a c t o r s a l s o i n c l u d e
pregnancies and births. The aim of this
study was to assess and compare the
level of physical activity and physical
fitness of people treated for sciatica and
compare the results with the results of
tests carried out among healthy people,
not treated for sciatica or other diseases
of the lower spine.
Material and methods:
The study was conducted among 60
people, both sexes, aged 50-69. The
I n t e r n a t i o n a l P h y s i c a l A c t i v i t y
Questionnaire IPAQ and the Oswestry
Disability Questionnaire were used for
the assessment. In the research group
there were 30 people diagnosed with sciatica, treated for this disease or other
diseases of the lumbar spine. The
control group consisted of 30 healthy
people in the same age range.
Results and conclusion:
On the basis of the conducted research,
there were significant differences
between the degree of disability of
healthy people and patients, which
confirmed that sciatica is a disease
significantly affecting physical fitness
during everyday activities.

Evaluation of the incidence of limb injuries in martial arts using the example of MMA and Muaythai
Authors: RIDAN Tomasz , ZAJĄC Katarzyna
Published: July 2020

Introduction. Martial arts, including MMA and Muay Thai are considered to be high-risk disciplines due to the nature and specificity of the sports activity undertaken. The objective of the study was to evaluate the incidence of limb injuries in martial arts using the example of MMA and Muay Thai. Material and research method. The study covered a group of 66 individuals, including 38 (57.6%) MMA athletes and 28 (42.4%) Muay Thai practitioners. It was carried out in one of Krakow's martial arts clubs in 2016, based on a self-constructed survey questionnaire. The results were subjected to statistical analysis using the Microsoft Excel 2010 spreadsheet and the Statistica software version 10.0 PL. Results. Among the persons surveyed, 67% suffered an upper and/or lower limb injury. Injuries occurred both among the athletes with short training experience (1-3 years) and those who have trained for a longer period of time. The athletes with the shortest training experience (1- 3 years) were statistically more likely to suffer an injury. The number of injuries was significantly higher among Muay Thai athletes. The incidence of injuries was not significantly lower among the individuals who used protective equipment during training, or among recreational athletes. Injuries were more common among the individuals who trained with a sparring partner, including 24 MMA fighters (70.6%), and 10 Muay Thai athletes (55.5%). Conclusions. 1. Upper and lower limb injuries are a common problem among martial arts practitioners, especially among MMA athletes. 2. The athletes' weight category and age do not have any effect on the incidence of injuries among MMA and Muay Thai practitioners. 3. Injuries are considerably more common during contact exercises, both in MMA and in Muay Thai. 4. The incidence of injuries is equally high among the individuals who participate in sports competitions and in amateur athletes.

Diante de mudanças recentes no panorama nacional de programas de incentivos para provimento e formação médica em Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS), o Grupo de Trabalho de Ensinagem da SBMFC organizou um Encontro Nacional entre os dias 29 de novembro e 1º de dezembro de 2019, na cidade do Rio de Janeiro/RJ. O evento reuniu professores, supervisores, preceptores e residentes de Medicina de Família e Comunidade de diferentes regiões do país, e teve como objetivos discutir o atual cenário, além de elencar recomendações para qualidade dos PRMFC e caminhos para o fortalecimento da formação de médicas e médicos de família e comunidade via Residência Médica. Essas recomendações buscaram considerar a diversidade dos PRMFC em um país tão vasto quanto o Brasil e, principalmente, a necessidade de se estabelecer parâmetros mínimos de organização para os programas das mais variadas configurações, como PRMFC vinculados a Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES), secretarias estaduais ou municipais de saúde. As recomendações foram então organizadas em três eixos: 1) recomendações para supervisores e coordenadores de PRMFC e modelos possíveis de preceptoria; 2) recomendações para formuladores e executores de políticas públicas; e 3) recomendações para lideranças da medicina de família e comunidade.

In the current situation related to 2019-nCoV β-coronavirus, the National Health Authorities have determined the elaboration of contingency plans (CP) that minimize the contagion and allow the functioning of essential activities. The CP presented defines a set of guidelines that allow the adequacy of the response of a public university in Northeast of Brazil linked to the Programa Mais Médicos para o Brasil. Descriptive and qualitative study, type of comment, from the analysis of the data of the CP for the definition of strategies for coping with public health emergencies. The CP consists of ten measures that include assistance via applications/social networks; monitoring of physicians who are at risk; screening of suspected/confirmed cases; production of guides/protocols; 24h psychological/technical assistance to physicians working at primary health care and provision of online courses. The methodology proposed provides different models from those trivially presented in academia and is essential to promote health education.
The Proto-Ecophilosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche
Authors: McGraw John G. ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: July 2020

This paper sketches the relationship of Nietzsche's "Lebensphilosophie," panpsychism, animism, proto-existentialism and naturalism to contemporary ecologism/ecology. It considers his assaults on the metaphysical, epistemological and ethical foundations of anti-ecophilosophy. It connects some of his central doctrines, including self-overcoming, the will to power, "amor fati" and "fierism" (the metaphysics of becoming) to his proto-ecophilosophy and explores three kinds of nihilism which are particularly hostile to it. Finally, it notes Nietzsche's applied ecology-concems, including conservationism, preservationism and pollution.
The Beauty and the Erotic Binding of the Beast
Authors: Oisteanu Andrei ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: July 2020

I came to the subject by attempting to reinterpret the well-known legend of the labyrinth and the status of its main characters: Theseus, Ariadne, Dedalus and the Minotaur. The conflict between the two invincible entities is a reminiscence, degraded by literaturisation of the first conflict - in the 'zero moment' of the mythical history of the Universe - between the principle of the Cosmos (which is the supreme god) and the principle of the Chaos (the primordial Monster). From a hermeneutical perspective, the god's overcoming of the monster is an act of ordering the Chaos, and thus of cosmogenesis. The ordered Chaos becomes Cosmos.
Dialogue and Humanism in the Teaching of Martin Buber
Authors: Yaron Kalman ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: July 2020

Buber proclaims that 'in the beginning was relation'; that man is by his very nature a Homo Dialogus - incapable of realizing himself without communion with man, with the creation and with his Creator.Buber sought to anchor Zionism in what he defined as 'Hebrew Humanism': "the path of holiness" as opposed to "holy egoism".
Thomist vs. Scotist Perspectives on Ontic Structural Realism
Authors: Dumsday Travis ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: July 2020

Structural realism has re-emerged as part of the debate between scientific realism and antirealism. Since then it has branched into several different versions, notably epistemic structural realism and ontic structural realism. The latter theory (which itself has now divided into competing formulations) is still an important perspective in the realism/antirealism dialectic; however, its significance has expanded well beyond that debate. Today ontic structural realism is also an important player in the metaphysics of science literature, engaging with a variety of ontological questions. One of these pertains to the basic categories of ontology, with the proponents of ontic structural realism typically advocating a radical rethinking of how to view substance and relation while calling into question the (allegedly) traditional privileging of the former over and against the latter. In this paper I assess ontic structural realism from the perspective of two major systems: Thomism and Scotism. I argue that the basic commitments of Thomism allow for some surprising convergences with ontic structural realism, while Scotism does not.
Understanding Responsible Management Education from the Inside
Authors: Borglund Tommy , Frostenson Magnus , Helin Sven ,   Neilson Journals Publishing
Published: July 2020

Despite some two decades of research on Responsible Management Education (RME) relatively little is known about RME within business. In particular, different variants of RME in business have not been studied enough to give us a thorough understanding of the nature, role and function of RME in business. To provide some remedy, this article studies RME from an internal business perspective. Through action research, it shows how a specific form of RME, building on the Shared Value (SV) concept, is shaped, developed and manifested within the life-insurance and savings company Skandia. Furthermore, it develops a model for a holistic understanding of RME in business, taking into account RME actors, concepts, methods, and use. Apart from being an empirical illustration from within business of how RME becomes a tool for strategy, identity and innovation, and constructing a model for understanding RME, the article also highlights SV as the conceptual basis for RME.

La búsqueda espiritual a través del turismo. Su articulación desde el lado de la oferta
Authors: Albert Rodrigo María
Published: July 2020

Desde mediados del siglo pasado hemos asistido a una ampliación de las posibilidades turísticas de forma creciente; han aparecido nuevos tipos o han diversificado su oferta (histórico, cultural, ambiental, étnico, etc.), ampliando así su campo de acción. Queremos pues, reflexionar sobre un nuevo tipo de turismo que se refiere a la circulación mundial de personas que en sus desplazamientos recorren las redes espirituales en busca de nuevas experiencias de lo sagrado y de la vivencia espiritual. Nos hemos acercado a este proceso de reencantamiento del mundo a partir de los centros de terapias holísticos que son en gran medida los nodos que articulan esta nueva espiritualidad transversal que se mueve por los circuitos que conectan culturas indígenas con redes globales y que está generando unas nuevas coordenadas de lo que puede entenderse por religioso.

From mid twentieth century we have assisted to a widening in ever-growing tourist possibilities; new ways of travelling have appeared or have diversified their offers (including historical, cultural, environmental, ethnic, etc.) widening thus their action field. We would like to pay attention to a new tourist trend, referred to those who travel around the nets New Age, searching new sacred experiences and spiritual living. We have approached this new process of re-enchantment of the world from the alternative, holistic therapy centers, and all of this kind, which are up to a certain level the links that join this new holistic, transversal and personal spirituality that goes around the places that connect indigenous cultures with global nets, which is creating new coordinates that can be understood as religious.

En el artículo se exponen los resultados de un estudio sobre la experiencia que tuvo Chile en la creación de Observatorios de turismo en regiones de Chile, considerando dos dimensiones de estudio: en primer lugar, respecto al nivel de desempeño alcanzado atendiendo a sus propósitos basales: monitorear la actividad turística y generar información de ayuda a la toma de decisiones, y en segundo lugar, respecto a la manera en que realizaron la gestión de datos de investigación en turismo, considerando procesos de gestión y apertura. El principal problema evidenciado en los Observatorios de turismo fue la constitución, gestión y difusión de los datos que debían proveer.

Published: July 2020

En tan sólo 19 años del presente siglo, el turismo global ha alcanzado el mayor dinamismo que en ningún otro período había tenido. Al respecto, entre 2008 y 2017se incrementó en 33.7% la llegada de turistas internacionales, lo cual ha hecho evidente la necesidad de abrir nuevos mercados turísticos. En el caso de México, de 2009 a 2018 el número de turistas internacionales prácticamente se duplicó; de hecho, en estos años el país avanzó del décimo al sexto destino en el mundo. En este contexto, el gobierno reconoce que, en materia de economía, el turismo es pieza clave para el desarrollo nacional, por tanto, establece como prioridad la identificación de nuevos sitios para el ocio y la recreación. Este trabajo evalúa la potencialidad turística de los municipios costeros del Pacífico Sur occidental mexicano; región que se extiende por el litoral ubicado entre los estados de Jalisco y Oaxaca.

In just 19 years of this century, global tourism has reached the greatest dynamism levels relative to any other equivalent period of time. In this regard, the arrival of international tourists showed a 33.7% rise between 2008 and 2017, evidencing the need to open up new tourist markets. In the case of Mexico, the number of international tourists almost doubled between 2009 and 2018; in fact, in this period, the country advanced from a 10th to sixth top destination worldwide. In this context, the government has acknowledged that, in the field of economy, tourism is key for national development; therefore, it has set the identification of new sites for leisure and recreation as a top priority. This work evaluates the tourist potential of the coastal municipalities of the Mexican southwestern Pacific, a region that stretches along the coastline between the states of Jalisco and Oaxaca.

Authors: Vázquez Casillas José Fernando
Published: July 2020

Este estudio analiza la importante conexión existente entre conceptos como el viaje, el coleccionismo y la educación en la construcción del archivo fotográfico de la Hispanic Society of América; al tiempo que pone en valor los documentos gráficos que sobre la región de Murcia posee. Unas obras, estas últimas, que son fruto directo tanto de los fotógrafos viajeros que transitaron por nuestro país desde la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, en su vertiente de turista romántico o profesional, como de las expediciones a España, culturales y formativas, organizadas por la propia institución para sus conservadoras, bibliotecarias y fotógrafas, a principios del XX.
