Authors: خلف الله شبو جعفر
Published: February 2022

The prophet of Islam, peace be upon him, has put and executed an integrated plan to defend the first Muslims and the Muslim society since  the  dawn of the Islam Call. The plan has taken different shapes and used several means to achieve its goal.

        In Makah the plan relied on the educational doctrines and urged for patience and self control refraining from using force as there was no permission for   fighting. The invocation of God and the prayers were carried out secretly.        Some of the early believers were directed to emigrate to safe lands to escape persecution and oppression.

        In later development and according to a protective treaty with the people of Yathrib, the prophet himself and all his companions emigrated to live there where the unique Islamic society was established. The means of protecting and defending it also developed considerably. Many treaties and safe –conducts to restore peace and stop aggressions and offensives were signed with the people of Yathrib and with the neighboring tribes. The prophet and his companions were forced to fight defensive and preventing wars to defend the Muslims’ society: but they were never aggressive or oppressive ones.

Upon a regular rheumatology outpatient follow-up, she presented not only with fever,arthralgia and chest pain, but also with anemia, low platelets, low complement (C3), and high titer anti-double-strand deoxyribonucleic acid antibody (anti-dsDNA > 379 IU/mL) on laboratory test report,as well as proteinuria on urinalysis. Accordingly, her condition was suspected to be a relapse of SLE. Unfortunately, after treatment with high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone, the response was poor with persistent low platelet level. Besides, hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia were noted and peripheral blood smear examination also showed fragmented red blood cells, supporting the diagnosis of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. Moreover, there was severe ADAMTS13 deficiency in the blood, even with 0% of activity. Therefore, the patient was finally diagnosed with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and then received urgent plasmapheresis in combination with high-dose glucocorticoid and of intravenous rituximab treatment. After the treatment, the platelet level increased, lactate dehydrogenase level remarkably decreased, and anemia gradually improved. Taken together, urgent initiation of plasma exchange together with glucocorticoid and rituximab treatment for SLE patient with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura could lower the mortality rate.

Returning White–tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) Fawns to their Mothers
Authors: Connell Ann
Published: February 2022

Determining whether a fawn needs a wildlife rehabilitator’s help is often a difficult and challenging task. Usually, this decision is made during a telephone conversation with the individual who found the fawn. The finder may have limited experience with animals and/or may have strong feelings about what course of action is best for the fawn. In addition, the rehabilitator must make this evaluation without the benefit of examining the fawn or seeing the circumstances under which the fawn was found. This can result in normal, healthy fawns being taken from their mothers to be hand–raised. A review of the author’s records of 400 white–tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) fawns triaged for admission over 11 years revealed that 40 percent of fawns admitted were good candidates for return to the areas in which they were found.
Organization and Operation of a Raptor Re–Nesting Program at an Avian Rehabilitation Center
Authors: Lankton Julia , Korolog Diane , Steininger Kim
Published: February 2022

Tri–State Bird Rescue & Research, Inc. (TSBRR), located in Newark, Delaware, has a caseload of approximately 2500 native birds a year. Of these, 7 to 10 percent are raptors. Of the raptors admitted annually, about eight percent, or 20 to 30 individuals, are young birds still dependent on parental care. The policy of TSBRR is to return these young birds to their parents whenever possible. For raptors, as for all wild birds, care received in captivity is a poor substitute for the attentions of natural parents in a natural environment, no matter how appropriate the rehabilitation techniques. In addition to critical access to appropriate models for filial, sexual, and environmental imprinting, young raptors raised in the wild learn numerous hunting and survival skills from opportunities offered by their natural parents (Fox 1995). With a first–year mortality rate of 60 percent or greater, it is incumbent upon rehabilitators to offer young raptors the very best chance for survival by allowing them an opportunity to be wild–raised birds (Fox 1995).

Function of “Memes” in Adolescent Communication: A Theoretical Review
Authors:   Princeton University, Myers Rachel
Published: February 2022

Twenty years ago, distracted boyfriend, grumpy cat, and Kermit the Frog would have been three terms that had nothing in common. Today, they are instantly recognized by many as characters of some of the most popular memes. As technology rapidly progressed at the turn of the century, memes evolved to become a crucial aspect of internet culture. What remains to be seen, however, is how this influences communication, and whether or not there is a generational gap in understanding of this new way of communicating. This paper reviews the definition and a brief history of internet memes before discussing the common characteristics of memes. Research related to possible reasons for the popularity of memes, such as human preference for analogy and the inherent desire to belong to an ingroup, are also examined. Possible explanations for the generational divide in understanding and use of memes are considered. It is hypothesized that future experiments would reveal a discrepancy in fundamental understanding of memes across age groups.
Iron treatment of restless legs syndrome
Authors: Choi Yun Ho , Song In-Uk
Published: February 2022

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) has a high prevalence in the elderly, which significantly impacts sleep, quality of life, and increases the risk of falls while walking at night. There is sufficient research to support the concept of altered brain iron homeostasis in RLS as part of the underlying pathology of RLS. A Task Force was established by the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group to develop evidence-based and consensus guidelines for the iron treatment of RLS in adults. Consensus recommendations based on clinical practice are presented, including when to use oral iron or intravenous iron, and recommendations on repeated iron treatments. New iron treatment algorithms, based on evidence and consensus opinion have been developed. Iron therapy is of great importance in various structures, including improvement of the pathophysiology and clinical symptoms of RLS. It is necessary to develop treatment methods such as more active brain delivery and accurate monitoring, and additional long-term clinical guidelines are expected through various studies.
Factors for the e-business adoption by small tourism firms and the role of shadow economic practices
Authors: Vladimirov Zhelyu
Published: February 2022

The goal of this study is to reveal the main factors influencing the e-business adoption by the small tourism firms in Bulgaria with a special attention on the role played by the shadow economic practices in this process. These practices relate to undeclared work, undeclared deals, and sales underreporting by legally registered firms. The research is based on data gathered from 282 small tourism firms’ managers through a structured questionnaire. The exploratory factor analysis provided five factors as antecedents to the e-business adoption. These factors reflect the perceptions of environmental pressure, organisational readiness, shadow economic practices in the sector, and managers’ attitudes (positive and negative) towards the e-business. The effects of the factors on the e-business adoption are assessed by a multiple regression model, which include also manager experience and firm size as control variables.

The findings suggest that environmental pressure, organisational readiness, and positive expectations are more likely to enhance the e-business adoption. The manager experience and the firm size influence positively this adoption too. On the contrary, negative expectations and particularly the perceptions of the spread up of shadow economic practices in the sector were more likely to work against the e-business adoption by small tourism firms.
The effects of formal networks on territorial tourism offers. Current usage of network contracts in Italy
Authors: Aureli Selena , Forlani Fabio
Published: February 2022

This study aims to understand the benefits contractual inter-firm networks offer to existing territorial tourism systems in Italy. Preference has been given to a qualitative approach. Data collection was based on document analysis (i.e. information reported in written contracts as well as text and images published on web sites) and in-depth semi-structured interviews. Results indicate that usage of a relatively new legal mechanism (the network contract) designed to form stable inter-organisational networks is increasing in the tourism sector. These networks help promote existing territorial tourism systems in different ways and to different extents. In some cases, alliances create and promote a tourism proposal that enhances the territorial offer, while in other situations alliances succeed in identifying and communicating a specific territorial area previously left unmanaged.
Accessible tourism in Jordan: travel constrains and motivations
Authors: Allan Mamoon
Published: February 2022

The main purpose of this study was to identify the motivations and travel constrains for a sample of tourists with disabilities in Jordan. A quantitative study was conducted employing an onsite intercept questionnaire. However, the questionnaire was completed and returned by 226 members of the research cohort in Jordan. The findings of this study show that the main intrinsic motivations for the respondents to travel were escape, followed by relaxation, and enjoyment, respectively. Additionally, it found that their main extrinsic motivation was the identified regulations of extrinsic motivation and they expressed a low level of amotivation. The results of this study also indicate that travel intrinsic constrains had the prominent influence on the study cohort. The study’s findings were expected to be helpful to better understanding the tourists with different types of disabilities in Jordan.
Car use in ski resort: the moderating role of perceived lack of facilities
Authors: Giannelloni Jean-Luc , Robinot Elisabeth
Published: February 2022

Fifty-seven percent of greenhouse gases produced by ski resorts are due to the transport of tourists to the resorts. More than eighty percent of them travel by car. Reduced car use to and around ski resorts is therefore a major objective for public policy. The Theory of Planned Behavior is used to identify the determinants of reduced car use during a tourist’s stay in a ski resort. The moderating role of perceived lack of facilities also is tested. A field study (n = 485 tourists) shows that perceived behavioral control is the only significant determinant of reduced car use. Perceived lack of facilities moderates the influence of attitude and of subjective norms on this behavior.
The impact of social tourism for seniors on the economic development of tourism destinations
Authors: Eusébio Celeste , Carneiro Maria , Kastenholz Elisabeth , Alvelos Helena
Published: February 2022

This paper suggests a framework for assessing the economic relevance of social tourism programmes for tourism destinations, based on two simultaneous approaches: an analysis of the stakeholders’ perceptions of the economic impacts and a quantitative assessment of the impacts on the national economy. This framework was applied to a Portuguese social tourism programme directed at the senior market. A survey of supply agents (N=220) was carried out to analyse the stakeholders’ perceptions of the Programme impacts. An integrated model, including a senior survey (N=1000) and an input-output model, was used to estimate the total economic impact of the Programme on output, household income, employment and Value-added. The supply agents surveyed perceived considerable positive impacts of the Programme on their companies regarding profitability, employment, occupancy rate in the low season, loyalty and attraction of new consumers. They also perceived important positive impacts on local communities regarding decrease of seasonality, diversification and revitalization of local economy. The quantitative assessment also revealed high total economic impacts (direct, indirect and induced) of the Programme on the national economy. Finally, some suggestions to maximize the economic benefits of social tourism programmes for tourism destinations are presented.
Comparing perceived images with projected images – A case study on Finnish ski destinations
Authors: Komppula Raija , Laukkanen Tommi
Published: February 2022

The objective of this study is first to compare the image perceived by the visitors of five Finnish ski destinations with the image projected by the respective ski resort DMOs. Second, the profiles of the five ski resorts are then compared. A quantitative content analysis of the printed marketing material of the destinations was conducted. The importance of the attributes affecting ski destination choice was also investigated with 1,529 effective responses. An exploratory factor analysis using the principal component method with varimax rotation was used to determine the factors of the phenomenon. ANOVA and Post Hoc pairwise multiple comparison tests were used to explore how the identified attributes of ski destination choice differ among tourists in the five ski destinations. Four factors, namely downhill skiing services, cross-country skiing services, restaurants and social life, and spa services were found to differentiate the destinations. According to the comparison of the results of the content analysis and the factor analysis, the results show that the projected images seem to be congruent with the determinants of ski destination choice of the visitors in the respective resorts. On the other hand, the profiles of the ski resorts differ strongly.
Examining the role of familiarity, information sources, length of stay and satisfaction to the image perception model
Authors: Prats Lluís , Camprubí Raquel , Coromina Lluís
Published: February 2022

This study examines the effect of familiarity on information sources and the length of stay in a destination, and how these concepts, in turn, affect the image perception model. Data was collected from 603 structured personal interviews carried out in Barcelona (Spain) and structural equation modelling methodology was used to test the hypotheses. Results show that tourists familiar with Barcelona are less likely to consult tourist information. The paper also presents evidence to suggest that the length of stay is the same whether tourists are familiar with the destination or not. Furthermore, we argue that tourist satisfaction is influenced by both cognitive and affective evaluations and that information sources partially influence cognitive evaluations, affective evaluations length of stay and satisfaction. Until now literature has only indicated a tentative relationship between length of stay and destination image, however the outcomes of this study prove that the length of stay in a destination alters its tourism image.
Roles of place identity distinctiveness and continuity on resident attitude toward tourism
Authors: Wang Suosheng
Published: February 2022

Tourism literature pointed out that resident attitude toward tourism is not only affected by what benefits residents can get from tourism development, but also by their place-based identities disregarding the benefits from tourism development. However, few studies have ever empirically explored the nature of the relationships between place identity components and resident attitude toward tourism. This study focuses on discussing the direct and indirect effects of place identity’s four components (i.e., place distinctiveness, continuity, self-esteem, and self-efficacy) and resident attitude toward tourism development. One major contribution of this study is that, based on a modified model, this study detects the significant roles of place-based distinctiveness and continuity in predicting resident attitude toward tourism development, which are mainly carried through place-based self-esteem. Significance and implications of this study are discussed.
Is there a Field of Tourism Studies?
Authors: Réau Bertrand
Published: February 2022

This paper questions the status of tourism studies and invites academics to participate in an international "collective reflexivity". The author proposes conceptual and methodological tools for scientifically analysing the tourism studies area. The article articulates three dimensions of scientific activity most often treated separately: the institutional and cognitive dimensions and the analysis of audiences. The study suggests that the concept of field proposed by Bourdieu as well as the notions of “configuration” and “interdependency chains” proposed by Norbert Elias allow tourism scholars to account for these dimensions.
Differences between short and long break tourists in urban destinations: the case of Barcelona
Authors: Moll-de-Alba Jorge , Prats Lluís , Coromina Lluís
Published: February 2022

Short break trips in urban destinations are clearly increasing, and this fact has implications for destinations linked to the different length of stay segments. Thus, this paper analyses the duration of the stay in relation to motivation, satisfaction, image, repetition and recommendation of leisure tourists in an urban destination. The main contribution of this article is to highlight the differences and similarities between the behaviours of short and long breakers for the constructs mentioned, not developed until now. The theoretical model is validated using a structural equation modelling methodology. The sample size is 10,953 tourists visiting the city of Barcelona, relevant for its increasing tourism appeal. Results confirm that differences and similarities are found for those tourist segments. By way of example it is worth mentioning that the repeat visits have a negative effect on tourists’ recommendation, in particular in the case of long break as compared with short break tourists.
