Dividend persistence and earnings management in emerging markets
Authors: Martins Orleans Silva , Sousa Raíssa Aglé Moura de , Girão Luiz Felipe de Araújo Pontes
Published: October 2021

ABSTRACT We investigate the relationship between dividend persistence and earnings management, considering the levels of economic performance and risk in emerging countries. Earnings are important for valuation models and dividends have evidence that suggests greater persistence, however, there is no evidence on the effect of earnings management on dividend persistence in emerging countries. Despite the substantial growth of emerging markets in the last decades, the degree of informational efficiency and the legal protection for investors is inferior to developed countries, and this is a potential risk for investors who prefer to receive dividends as a way of avoiding expropriation by managers who can manage the firms’ earnings. We show that the reduction in macroeconomic volatility and the uncertainties concerning a country’s performance and risk improve dividend persistence. Thus, even in the face of earnings manipulations, dividends are better inputs for valuation models. Using the persistence models of Dechow and Schrand (2004) and Lintner (1956), we interact the dividend persistence with firms’ earnings management and some indicators of a country’s economic performance and risk for 7,536 publicly traded firms from 20 countries, included in the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Emerging Markets Index from 2000 to 2016. We find that in emerging countries dividends are more persistent than earnings. If a company pays United States dollars (USD) 1.00 in dividends, then, on average, US$ 0.89 will persist into next year’s dividends (for earnings, only US$ 0.76 persists). We find that, in addition to the past dividends and current earnings presented by Lintner (1956), current dividends are a function of earnings management volume because this event reduces dividend persistence.
MUDANÇA ESTRUTURAL E PRODUTIVIDADE DO TRABALHO NO BRASIL NOS ANOS 2000: BÔNUS OU ÔNUS ESTRUTURAL?
Authors: Silva Felipe Queiroz
Published: October 2021

RESUMO O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a contribuição das mudanças da estrutura produtiva da economia brasileira para o incremento da produtividade do trabalho no país entre 2000 e 2018. Para responder essa questão, analisa-se indicadores estruturais da economia brasileira com o auxílio de uma decomposição da produtividade do trabalho de cada atividade econômica para o resultado agregado, levando-se em consideração os efeitos da participação do emprego e dos preços relativos dos setores. O artigo também fornece uma sistematização nova sobre o padrão de especialização da economia brasileira em termos de bônus ou ônus estrutural e análises por meio de classificações setoriais. Os resultados encontrados sugerem que, pelo menos até 2013, o baixo crescimento da produtividade do trabalho agregado no Brasil está mais relacionado com uma perda de eficiência produtiva da indústria e dos serviços mais intensivos em tecnologia do que um possível processo de desindustrialização. Desde 2013, no entanto, há sinais de ônus estrutural na economia brasileira, ou seja, uma mudança estrutural para atividades com menor crescimento da produtividade. Isso é resultado de um processo mais recente de desindustrialização e de aumento da participação do emprego em serviços de baixa intensidade tecnológica.
Soberania, desenvolvimento e sociedade
Authors: Medeiros Carlos Aguiar de , Sarti Fernando
Published: October 2021

Resumo A partir da formulação de Wilson Cano (1999) discute-se a questão da soberania da política econômica no contexto das economias latino-americanas. Argumenta-se que em sua evolução histórica, a subordinação da política econômica às finanças internacionais foi o principal divisor de águas entre o período desenvolvimentista e o período que se afirmou após os anos 1970. Estas economias recuperaram parcialmente uma maior autonomia no novo milênio, mas a abandonam sobretudo pós 2015. Argumenta-se que este abandono se deu num contexto externo bastante distinto do que se passou nos anos 1980 e 1990, quando reversão era imposta por crises cambiais e deve ser explicado, no caso da economia brasileira, por razões políticas internas. O conflito distributivo e a desnacionalização contribuíram para o triunfo do neoliberalismo como estratégia de acumulação.
Aspectos políticos da economia do desenvolvimento e do subdesenvolvimento em Wilson Cano
Authors: Gomes Júnior Evaldo , Aruto Pietro Caldeirini , Tonin Vitor Hugo
Published: October 2021

Resumo O presente artigo objetiva analisar a economia política da América Latina a partir do pensamento do professor Wilson Cano. Este pensador se debruçou sobre o subdesenvolvimento da região durante toda sua trajetória intelectual, especificamente do Brasil. Por isso mesmo, também relacionou em sua análise, níveis mais gerais do (sub)desenvolvimento econômico com o caráter específico da reprodução capitalista nos espaços subnacionais. A metodologia parte da análise dos seus escritos e de como eles se conectam com a tradição crítica da economia política da chamada Escola de Campinas e da Cepal. Argumenta-se que Wilson Cano enfrenta o liberalismo econômico com rigor, tanto no pensamento econômico como na arena política em torno do Estado nacional. Ao final, debate-se a categoria capital mercantil, central em sua análise, para evidenciar sua coerência histórica em detrimento de alguns limites teóricos.
O mito do imperialismo paulista revisitado
Authors: Oliveira Fábio Lucas Pimentel de
Published: October 2021

Resumo A ampla e densa agenda de pesquisa elaborada por Wilson Cano permitiu-lhe estabelecer estreito diálogo com pesquisadores, professores, especialistas, políticos e outros interessados nos problemas que perpassavam a questão regional no Brasil. A contribuição dele foi decisiva, por exemplo, na investigação da tese do imperialismo paulista, que vocalizava uma reação regionalista, em particular nordestina, às contradições provocadas pela insuficiência dinâmica das economias regionais, quando cotejadas à economia de São Paulo. Empregando o método histórico-estrutural e outros traços distintivos próprios aos estudos de Wilson Cano, objetiva-se ilustrar como ele colaborou para a explanação do falso problema que revestiu a referida tese. Argumenta-se que esse enquadramento analítico é um legado segundo o qual se torna possível elucidar aspectos que emergiram da evolução das interdependências que vinculam as regiões brasileiras antes e após 1980, envolvendo, em particular, o Nordeste e São Paulo.
Economia regional e a produção do urbano crítico: lições de Wilson Cano
Authors: Clementino Maria do Livramento
Published: October 2021

Resumo Este ensaio rende tributo à reflexão intelectualmente crítica, do Professor Wilson Cano para com a urbanização brasileira. Resgata aspectos relevantes dos seus estudos sobre o urbano, com ênfase no Nordeste. Sua interpretação do urbano foi construída a partir de uma visão global do desenvolvimento, onde a urbanização decorre das grandes transformações estruturais que o país sofre, especialmente a partir da industrialização. Ele nos ensinou entender as interrelações do urbano com o rural e os nexos que disso decorrem para alterar o urbano. Segue o caminho metodológico que ele mesmo indicou, rigorosamente, em suas análises. Indaga sobre as ações e omissões do Estado no processo da urbanização regional, com destaque para sua atuação associada a orbita privada do capital mercantil, e na capacidade de reciclagem dessa forma de capital. Rende homenagem ao valioso legado de sua ampla agenda de pesquisa distinguindo aspectos importantes da relação entre o desenvolvimento e a urbanização.

Published: October 2021

Resumen El objetivo del estudio fue conocer la relación de las experiencias de homofobia con la adherencia al tratamiento anti-retroviral (TAR) en hombres que tienen sexo con hombres (HSH). Para ello, se realizó una encuesta transversal con una muestra por conveniencia de HSH que vivían con VIH (n=340) atendidos en dos instituciones públicas de salud de la Ciudad de México. La información sobre la adherencia al TAR en el mes previo de los participantes y sus experiencias de violencia, discriminación y homofobia internalizada se recopiló mediante un cuestionario. Entre 14% y 33% de los HSH reportaron alguna experiencia de discriminación y entre 41% y 60% experimentaron violencia. Cuando los HSH habían experimentado ambos tipos de estresores, el riesgo de baja adherencia TAR fue mayor (RP=6.49 para mes previo) que cuando habían experimentado sólo una de ellas (RP=4.36 para violencia y RP=5.67 para discriminación). Los profesionales de la salud deben ser sensibles a cómo el ambiente sociocultural puede afectar las prácticas de autocuidado de HSH, incluyendo la adherencia al TAR.

Published: October 2021

RESUMO Este estudo explora os Estudos Culturais Físicos como um campo de interlocução para o desenvolvimento de uma investigação colaborativa e teoricamente informada, que possa contribuir para o ensino e a pesquisa na educação física brasileira. A partir da abordagem autoetnográfica, revisitamos as maneiras pelas quais experiências distintas com os Estudos Culturais Físicos tocaram (e tocam) nossas identidades, imprimindo marcas que nos (re)constroem em ações de docência, pesquisa e intervenção social. As narrativas que decorrem desse esforço colaborativo carregam desafios que (re)significam experiências ou aspectos anteriormente inexplorados em nossas subjetividades, oferecendo-nos a possibilidade de repensar e reestruturar nossas práticas de embodiment. Por fim, ao compartilharmos nossas narrativas na interlocução com os Estudos Culturais Físicos, entendemos esse campo (epistemológico, ontológico e metodológico) como profícuo para o diálogo com a educação física no contexto brasileiro.
Crítica ao apagamento das mulheres no ensino industrial: a história da inserção feminina na Escola Técnica Federal do Espírito Santo (1950-1970)
Authors: Lima Marcelo , Cariello Lisia Nicoliello , Damasceno Rosângela Aquino da Rosa
Published: October 2021

RESUMO Analisamos a inserção da mulher na educação e na sociedade brasileira por meio de seu acesso e sua permanência em cursos de ensino industrial em uma instituição da rede federal no período de 1950 a 1970. Por meio da comparação e do cruzamento das fontes, questionamos a versão oficial sobre o início da participação do sexo feminino no conjunto do corpo discente, que teria ocorrido na década de 1970, quando a instituição já se denominava Escola Técnica Federal do Espírito Santo. Entretanto, operando metodologicamente com a intertextualidade de documentos e fotografias, de um lado, evidenciamos as tentativas de apagamento dos processos de exclusão do sexo feminino desse contexto histórico e, por outro, concluímos que o início da inserção feminina já ocorrera bem antes, ainda nos anos de 1950, quando a unidade de ensino ainda se nomeava Escola Técnica de Vitória.
Multiletramentos e o feminino em memes de alunos do ensino médio do Instituto Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul
Authors: Araújo Fabiana Poças Biondo , Cezarino Júnior Juvenal Brito
Published: October 2021

RESUMO O trabalho apresenta resultados de uma proposta de ensino realizada no Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de Mato Grosso do Sul, campus Aquidauana, na perspectiva da pedagogia dos multiletramentos. Objetivou analisar, em memes produzidos por estudantes dos cursos de Edificações e de Informática, o processo de (res)significação do feminino antes e depois da proposta de ensino, por meio de abordagem interpretativista de pesquisa. De modo transdisciplinar, o artigo ampara-se em estudos sobre multiletramentos, meme, gênero e feminismo e mostra que a construção de sentidos sobre o feminino se dá pelo questionamento da norma hegemônica de gênero, em seus desdobramentos para a política de vigilância do corpo e do comportamento das mulheres. Isso ocorre antes e depois da proposta de intervenção, no entanto alguns casos são qualitativamente significativos quanto às mudanças na construção do feminino após a intervenção, na direção de maior empatia em relação ao sofrimento humano.
Molecular Systematics of Tribe Physarieae (Brassicaceae) Based on Nuclear ITS, LUMINIDEPENDENS, and Chloroplast ndhF
Authors: Fuentes-Soriano Sara , Kellogg Elizabeth A.
Published: October 2021

Abstract— Physarieae is a small tribe of herbaceous annual and woody perennial mustards that are mostly endemic to North America, with its members including a large amount of variation in floral, fruit, and chromosomal variation. Building on a previous study of Physarieae
based on morphology and ndhF plastid DNA, we reconstructed the evolutionary history of the tribe using new sequence data from two nuclear markers, and compared the new topologies against previously published cpDNA-based phylogenetic hypotheses. The novel analyses included ca. 420 new
sequences of ITS and LUMINIDEPENDENS (LD) markers for 39 and 47 species, respectively, with sampling accounting for all seven genera of Physarieae, including nomenclatural type species, and 11 outgroup taxa. Maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian analyses showed
that these additional markers were largely consistent with the previous ndhF data that supported the monophyly of Physarieae and resolved two major clades within the tribe, i.e., DDNLS (Dithyrea, Dimorphocarpa, Nerisyrenia, Lyrocarpa, and Synthlipsis)
and PP (Paysonia and Physaria). New analyses also increased internal resolution for some closely related species and lineages within both clades. The monophyly of Dithyrea and the sister relationship of Paysonia to Physaria was consistent in all trees, with
the sister relationship of Nerisyrenia to Lyrocarpa supported by ndhF and ITS, and the positions of Dimorphocarpa and Synthlipsis shifted within the DDNLS Clade depending on the employed data set. Finally, using the strong, new phylogenetic framework of combined
cpDNA + nDNA data, we discussed standing hypotheses of trichome evolution in the tribe suggested by ndhF.
Resolving the Tetrastigma loheri s. l. Species Complex (Vitaceae) in the Philippines: No Evidence for Recognizing More than One Species
Authors: Obico Jasper John A. , Barcelona Julie F. , Bonhomme Vincent , Hale Marie , Pelser Pieter B.
Published: October 2021

Abstract— Tetrastigma loheri (Vitaceae) is a vine species native to Borneo and the Philippines. Because it is a commonly encountered forest species in the Philippines, T. loheri is potentially suitable for studying patterns of genetic diversity and connectivity
among fragmented forest ecosystems in various parts of this country. However, previous research suggests that T. loheri is part of a species complex in the Philippines (i.e. the T. loheri s. l. complex) that potentially also contains Philippine plants identified as T. diepenhorstii,
T. philippinense, T. stenophyllum, and T. trifoliolatum. This uncertainty about its taxonomic delimitation can make it challenging to draw conclusions that are relevant to conservation from genetic studies using this species. Here, we tested the hypothesis that T. loheri
s. l. is composed of more than one species in the Philippines. For this, we used generalized mixed Yule coalescent (GMYC) and Poisson tree process (PTP) species delimitation models to identify clades within DNA sequence phylogenies of T. loheri s. l. that might constitute species within
this complex. Although these methods identified several putative species, these are statistically poorly supported and subsequent random forest analyses using a geometric morphometric leaf shape dataset and several other vegetative characters did not result in the identification of characters
that can be used to discriminate these putative species morphologically. Furthermore, the results of principal component and principal coordinates analyses of these data suggest the absence of morphological discontinuities within the species complex. Under a unified species concept that uses
phylogenetic and morphological distinction as operational criteria for species recognition, we therefore conclude that the currently available data do not support recognizing multiple species in the T. loheri s. l. complex. This implies that T. loheri is best considered as a
single, morphologically variable species when used for studying patterns of genetic diversity and connectivity in the Philippines.
Complexity in Polyploid Species Origin and Establishment: Arctostaphylos mewukka (Ericaceae)
Authors: Serkanic Steven , Parker V. Thomas , Schierenbeck Kristina
Published: October 2021

Abstract— Lineage recombination is an important source of genetic and morphological variation in species-rich groups of plants. Tetraploids that are intermediate in morphology and ecology with respect to sympatric diploids are regularly hypothesized to be the products
of hybridization. Arctostaphylos mewukka is one such intermediate tetraploid long regarded as the result of hybridization and genome duplication among divergent and geographically overlapping diploids widely distributed across the western slope of the Sierra Nevada. Here we set out
to test this hypothesis leveraging the notion that allopolyploids arise repetitively and may show signs of reciprocal organellar exchange among species between maternal and paternal progenitors. We compared nuclear ribosomal and plastid sequence data acquired from samples within and outside
this target species complex. Molecular sequence data show striking patterns indicative of widespread reticulation and chloroplast capture events across the genus Arctostaphylos. Results support the notion that outcrossing, long-lived woody plant species such as members of the genus
Arctostaphylos can retain a secured morphological identity despite ongoing influence of interspecific gene flow that would otherwise render species boundaries vulnerable to dissolution.
A Revised Classification of Glossopetalon (Crossosomataceae) Based on Restriction Site-Associated DNA Sequencing
Authors: Allen Maya L. , Ayers Tina
Published: October 2021

Abstract— Glossopetalon inhabits arid regions in the American west and northern Mexico on limestone substrates. The genus comprises four species: G. clokeyi, G. pungens, G. texense, and G. spinescens. Three of the species are narrow
endemics. The fourth, G. spinescens, is a widespread species with six recognized varieties. All six varieties are intricately branched shrubs that have been difficult to identify due to a lack of clearly delineating morphological characters. Characters typically used to differentiate
the varieties of G. spinescens, such as stem coloration, leaf blade size, and presence of stipules, are highly variable within and among populations. A custom protocol of double digest restriction-site associated DNA sequencing (ddRAD) was used to resolve the phylogeny of Glossopetalon
and address if population genetic data analyses (such as STRUCTURE, SVDquartets, and phylogenetic networks) support the recognition of six varieties of G. spinescens. Glossopetalon was fully supported as monophyletic and G. pungens was resolved sister to the remaining
taxa in the genus. The varieties of G. spinescens were resolved as two distinct lineages corresponding to their biogeography, one to the northwest (lineage 1) and one to southeast (lineage 2) of the species range. Glossopetalon clokeyi was resolved at the base of lineage 1 and
G. texense was embedded within lineage 2 sister to G. spinescens var. spinescens. Taxonomic changes include the recognition of G. texense and G. clokeyi as varieties of G. spinescens and description of a unique population from northern Arizona as a
new variety, G. spinescens var. goodwinii.

Língua e a discursividade na tradução do literário
Authors: De Almeida Paulo Garcia , Nascimento Jarbas Vargas
Published: October 2021

Data de 1943-1944, o período de produção do discurso literário Animal Farm, de George Orwell, traduzido do inglês para o português, primeiramente, por Heitor Aquino Ferreira, em 1964, com o título A Revolução dos Bichos. A tradução possibilitou a leitores, usuários do português, o acesso a um discurso de posicionamento revolucionário, textualizado por meio do gênero literário fábula e de estratégias linguístico-discursivas advindas da competência discursiva do tradutor. Com isso em vista, este artigo tem por objetivo examinar em Animal Farm e em A Revolução dos Bichos, a forma como o autor e o tradutor se posicionam culturalmente no funcionamento discursivo. Objetivamos verificar, também, o modo como as condições sócio-históricas e linguístico-culturais dialogam no regime da produção e da tradução. Para fundamentar nossa análise, recorremos aos Estudos da Tradução, conforme Venuti, (2002) e Lefevere (1992) em diálogo com a Linguística, particularmente, à Análise do Discurso de linha francesa (AD), na perspectiva enunciativo-discursiva proposta por Maingueneau (2007, 2015, 2018). Assim, colocamos em paralelo a produção original e a tradução, observando a dimensão linguístico-discursiva e o confronto de posicionamentos. Os resultados deste estudo revelam que os discursos literários Animal Farm e A Revolução dos Bichos não se constituem somente um espaço de confrontos estético-políticos, mas também um lugar onde o tradutor se coloca em relação de concorrência cultural com o autor, principalmente, pelo investimento no código linguageiro, entendido como registro desigual de posicionamentos socioculturais, revelados por meio das respectivas condições sócio-históricas de produção e de tradução.

A presente pesquisa propõe soluções tradutórias comentadas para trechos de uma carta constituída de confidências e opiniões. A carta em estudo foi enviada por Edward Gorey a Peter F. Neumeyer, na qual são emitidas opiniões sobre as suas próprias obras e sobre a literatura infantil. Busca-se demonstrar como diferentes soluções tradutórias poderiam causar diferentes impressões no leitor de chegada à luz do referencial teórico sobre correspondência (ABES, 2010; BARRENECHEA, 1990; BOHRER, 2015; BOSSIS e MCPHERSON, 1986; BOVO, 2015), sobre literatura infantil (MEIRELES, 1984; HUNT, 2010; ANDRUETTO, 2012), e sobre tradução literária (RÓNAI, 2012; SCHLEIERMACHER, 2010; BERMAN, 2007; VENUTI, 1995), entre outros. Nota-se que o tradutor precisa atentar-se à pontuação, pois é através dela que se ecoa a voz do remetente e o ritmo oral da narrativa, além das escolhas semânticas, que dão à narrativa um caráter mais formal ou informal. É necessário escolher a melhor forma de deixar clara a mensagem transmitida na correspondência entre os interlocutores, podendo buscar soluções estrangeirizadoras ou domesticadoras sem se ater apenas a uma.
On some general scheme of constructing iterative methods for searching the Nash equilibrium in concave games
Authors: Чернов Андрей Владимирович , Chernov Andrey
Published: October 2021

The subject of the paper is finite-dimensional concave games id est noncooperative $n$-person games with objective functionals concave with respect to `their own' variables. For such games we investigate the problem of designing iterative algorithms for searching the Nash equilibrium with convergence guaranteed without requirements concerning objective functionals such as smoothness and as convexity in `strange' variables or another similar hypotheses (in the sense of weak convexity, quasiconvexity and so on). In fact, we prove some assertion analogous to the theorem on convergence of $M$-Fej\'{er iterative process for the case when an operator acts in a finite-dimensional compact and nearness to an objective set is measured with the help of arbitrary continuous function. Then, on the base of this assertion we generalize and develop the approach suggested by the author formerly to searching the Nash equilibrium in concave games. The last one can be regarded as "a cross between" the relaxation algorithm and the Hooke-Jeeves method of configurations (but taking into account a specific character of the the residual function being minimized). Moreover, we present results of numerical experiments with their discussion.

Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Lee Eun-Ji , Kim Hye-Min , Kim Jin-Young , Koo Chul-Mo
Published: October 2021

With the COVID-19 outbreak, South Korean government implemented QR(Quick Response)-code based registration system for the patrons at high-risk facilities. While the use of digital tools was complimented as an exemplary case of an effective application of information technology for contact tracing, it has also raised concerns for individuals' privacy. This study aims to unveil the drivers and inhibitors underlying attitudes and behavioral intentions on Personal Information Disclosure (PID) to restaurant visitors. Considering the specific context of COVID-19, we noted that the willingness of PID is driven by (1) intrinsic factors (perceived risk and benefit) and (2) extrinsic factors (subjective norm and government pressure). Privacy calculus theory and institutional theory were used to establish a conceptual model. The structural relationship was examined by using the survey data collected from 311 respondents who have experienced the entry log system at restaurants. We found that individuals' attitudes to PID are affected by perceived risk, perceived benefit, and subject norm. Government pressure was not significant. This study provides both theoretical and practical contributions by expanding privacy calculus theory to integrate institutional theory in deriving useful implications for prevention and control of COVID-19. Specifically, this study provides suggestion for the governmental policy settlements under the pandemic situation. Our findings contribute to acknowledging efficient strategic guidelines to prevent the epidemic infection.
Negotiation of Leisure Constraints among Koryo-people Residing in Korea: A Grounded Theory Approach
Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Pak Sergey , Cha Suk-Bin
Published: October 2021

With the recent rapid increase in the number of Koryo-people in Korean society, issues such as Korean society's views and stereotypes toward Koryo-people, their maladaptation to society and culture, and consequent non-participation in leisure activities require academic attention. The purpose of this study is to understand leisure constraints experienced by Koryo-people who migrated to Korea and the process of overcoming them. In order to achieve this purpose, this study used theoretical sampling, and in-depth interviews were conducted with 15 Koryo-people residing in Korea in November 2020. Grounded theory approach was used which consisted of open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. The concepts derived from the interviews were grouped into 37 subcategories. As a result of classifying subcategories, a total of 13 upper categories were presented: daily stress, maladjustment to life in Korea, inappropriate perception of leisure, COVID-19 situation, stress as a Koryo-people, willingness to overcome leisure constraints, intrapersonal constraints, interpersonal constraints, structural constraints, behavioral negotiation strategies, cognitive negotiation strategies, maintaining work life balance, and social adaptation. The core category was analyzed as participation in leisure activities through negotiation strategies and willingness to overcome perceived constraints.
The Impact of Interaction between Hosts and Guests on the Guests’ Agri-tourism Experiences and Attitude Formation: The Case of Overnight Visitors
Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Park Jin-Kyung , Kim Jae-Hak
Published: October 2021

This study explores how agritourism visitors’ interactions with hosts affect their tourism experience and attitude formation. Specifically, three objectives of the study were formulated: (1) to identify where and which situations interactions of the visitors with hosts occur; (2) to identify dimensions of agritourism experiences and attitude; and (3) to test the direct and indirect effects of interaction between agritourism visitors and hosts on their tourism experience and attitude. A total of 200 surveys from overnight agritourism visitors were used in the analysis. The surveys were collected by an online research company. Critical review of previous literature suggests that the places and situations of rural village such as accommodation, food, and on-hand activity program were found to be different dimensions of agritourism experiences. Results revealed that interaction between visitors with hosts made significant effects on agritourism experience and attitude. Moreover, while village experience and on-hand activity program experiences made a significant indirect effects on the relationship between interaction and attitude, accommodation and food experiences did not have a significant impact. Findings of this study confirmed that different dimensions of agritoruism tourism experiences could make different mediating effects on attitude when interactions between visitors with hosts occur.
Conflict between Publicness and Tourism Development: A Case Study of Jeju Songak-Mountain 1st Tourism Development Project
Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Kim Ik-Tae
Published: October 2021

Using the case of Jeju Songak-Mountain Tourist Destination 1st Development Project, this study examined multi-dimensional aspects of conflict between publicness and tourism development. The model of publicness, which is constituted by the tripartite frameworks: ‘contents’, ‘acting subject’ and ‘process’, was employed as the theoretical framework of the study. In particular, this study theoretically elaborated an integrated model of ‘content-acting subject’ by critically applying Habermas’ Theory of Communicative Action to the procedural issue. The current study posed three particular research questions: (1) What were the contents of publicness during the tourism development project? (2) Who were the acting subjects, and how did they implement and interfere with the publicness?（3）How was the process of publicness conducted? To provide answers those questions, content analysis was performed using a wide range of data including documents of court decisions, auditors reports, internal reviews of business sectors, relevant articles of various newspapers and broadcast news. Results showed that the project failed to facilitate public interest and community sustainability. Results also indicated that the public sectors as acting subject were engaged with private interests and financial benefits. Moreover, civil societies failed to voice solidarity with local communities and the media failed to serve as a public sphere to prompt the procedural rationality. The research sought to make a theoretical and analytical contribution to the development of tourism studies by exploring the multi-dimensions of conflict between publicness and tourism development.
Györgyjakab Márton csíkszeredai nyomdász könyvkiadói tevékenysége (1884-1899)
Authors: Dr. Kocsis Lajos
Published: October 2021

Notre étude – un chapitre d’une vaste synthèse consacrée à l’histoire de l’imprimerie et de l’édition laique à Csíkszereda – traite de l’activité de Márton Györgyjakab. Les débuts du jeune imprimeur n’étaient nullement faciles, étant donné la forte concurrence locale et l’équipement pauvre de son atelier. Pour parvenir, il s’efforca d’élargir sa clientèle à l’extérieur de la ville proprement dite et de publier des ouvrages capables de séduire un nombre important de lecteurs. Cette réorientation progressive lui a valu un succès commercial remarquable. Or, le propriétaire de l’atelier mourut prématurément en 1899 : ses activités furent reprises par ses successeurs. Dans notre étude, nous présentons en détail l’activité d’imprimeur et d’éditeur de Györgyjakab dont le succès s’explique par une très efficace prise en compte des exigences locales.

Novelties of the Legislation on Distance (Remote) Work: A Comparative Legal Analysis
Authors: Chesalina O. V.
Published: October 2021

The paper analyzes the novelties of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation regarding the regulation of distant (remote) work given the national and foreign experience in application and regulation of remote work, including the coronavirus pandemic situation. The paper gives particular attention to such topical practical issues of distant work as: types of distant (remote) work; the ratio of home and distant work; regulation of the working time ofdistant workers; the rights and obligations of employees and employers in connection with the use of distant work, including the “right to be offline”; issues of combining distant work with family responsibilities; social insurance of distant workers. Given the recommendations of the International Labor Organization, the legislation and judicial practice of the European Union, the experience of foreign countries, the author scrutinizes the novelties of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and makes some proposals to improve distant work regulation. In particular, the author propose to aim at protecting the rights of distant workers and ensuring a balance of interests of workers and employers when using distant work mode, as well as eliminating gaps in the legal regulation of distant work.

In the course of the digitization of modern production systems, a reliable parameterization of the digital twin of machining processes is essential. For example, the digital representation of milling operations enables the process parameter selection without time-consuming and expensive test series by using stability lobe diagrams (SLD). However, the parameterization of the underlying process force model with very few cutting force experiments can prevent a reliable process design, as errors in the parameterization process are propagated to the stability analysis. Therefore, a novel two-step methodology is proposed to provide probabilistic credible intervals for conventional stability lobe diagrams: First, the unknown parameters of the process force model are estimated using a Bayesian regression method. Secondly, the estimated probability distributions of the process force parameters are used to quantify the uncertainty of the stability boundary using a mechanistic process force model. The proposed methodology is particularly characterized by its low computational cost, since time-consuming and computationally expensive Monte Carlo procedures are avoided. Instead, the methodology relies on the analytical derivation of the model parameters’ posterior probability distribution and on polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) algorithms to quantify the uncertainty in the final stability analysis.

The comparison between measured and simulated machining forces enables the evaluation of workpiece quality, process stability, and tool wear condition. To compute the machining forces that occur, mechanistic cutting force models are typically used. The cutting force coefficients (CFCs) of mechanistic force models are directly linked to the mechanics of chip formation and, thus, depend on the tool-workpiece combination and on the prevailing cutting conditions. CFCs are usually identified via the average cutting force identification method, which requires the execution of cutting tests under defined test conditions. Hence, determining CFCs for different cutting conditions is time-consuming and expensive. In this paper, the performance of an instantaneous CFC identification approach based on Bayesian Optimization during the machining of arbitrary workpiece geometries is studied. Bayesian Optimization is well suited for global optimization problems with computationally expensive cost functions. The simulated cutting forces are calculated using a dexel-based cutter workpiece engagement simulation and the actual cutting forces are measured during the machining process using a dynamometer. Thus, an efficient identification of CFCs could be achieved.

Today, the worldwide public interest in reducing power quality issues and greenhouse gas emissions is a key driver to study fuel cells (FCs) connected to distribution network systems (DNs) based on distributed flexible alternating-current transmission systems (D-FACTS). DNs will need to develop a better performance on Power Quality (PQ) while providing a more efficient energy technology. This study reviewed in-depth the interface of DN to FC systems. By focusing on the FC interface and the associated technical challenges, this review may help reduce the risk of DNs, minimizing the consumption of fossil fuels for power generation, lowering the emission of hazardous gases while dramatically increasing electrical power loads, improving PQ and stability. Besides, the study deliberated aspects of FC power technology with DNs interfacing based on D-FACTS. Specifically, the discussion encompassed the configuration structures of FC power technology and DNs connection based on D-FACTS, technical challenges of DNs, and its trends to determine the diagnosis, integration, and optimization for FC power technology.

Rhino orbital cerebral mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection with high morbidity and mortality which has seen the rise during the second wave of covid 19 in our country. Aim of our study was to study the clinical course, diagnosis and management of patient of rhino orbital mucormycosis in post covid phase presenting at our tertiary care centre.

4 cases of rhino-orbital mucormycosis who presented to us in post covid phase was followed and details recorded and analyzed to study its clinical course, diagnosis and management.

4 patients presented to us in post covid phase with signs of orbital cellulitis like periorbital swelling with pain, drooping of eyelids, proptosis, restriction of extraocular movements, decrease and loss of vision and sluggish reacting pupil. MRI/CT of the patients showed intraconal and extraconal involvement suggestive of orbital cellulitis. Diagnostic Nasal Endoscopy (DNE) was done and tissue sent for KOH mounting, culture and histopathology. After KOH mount showed fungal hyphae, patients were started on IV liposomal amphotericin B and retrobulbar amphotericin B. Patients were then taken up for endoscopic debridement and significant improvement in proptosis, ptosis, peribulbar swelling and pain was seen in immediate post op period.

significant improvement was seen in patients with IV amphotericin B, retrobulbar amphotericin B and endoscopic debridement.

Patients with rhino orbital mucormycosis can be managed with amphotericin and endoscopic debridement when exenteration is not possible.

This review systematizes scientific data on the possibilities and limitations of combined prenatal screening for detecting common chromosomal abnormalities (CA) in the first trimester of pregnancy, as well as an innovative technology – non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) based on free fetal DNA fraction. A review of current clinical guidelines on the place of NIPT in models of prenatal screening, the experience of various countries on the implementation of NIPT in national programs for prenatal screening of CA was carried out. Also, a synthesis of evidence and expert opinions on the controversial issues of the feasibility of using the extended options of NIPT (beyond the identification of common aneuploidies as trisomy 21, 13, 18) was carried out, a review of current data on the possibilities and limitations of various NIPT techniques was carried out.Despite the general increase in the sensitivity of prenatal screening for CA due to the combination of clinical, biochemical and ultrasound indicators, its main disadvantage is insufficient specificity (the frequency of false positive results of 5%). One of the ways to increase the effectiveness of prenatal screening for CA is the study of free fraction of fetal DNA (NIPT). According to a 2017 meta-analysis, the sensitivity of NIPT is more than 99% for trisomy 21, 98% for trisomy 18, and 99% for trisomy 13 with a specificity of 99%. This high efficacy has been confirmed in subsequent studies, making NIPT the best screening test for the most common trisomies – Down syndrome (trisomy 21), Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18) and Patau syndrome (trisomy 13). NIPT can be used as the first line of prenatal screening or as a second line after combined first trimester screening.Since 2015, NIPT has been included in the clinical guidelines of international and national professional societies. Common to the 11 reviewed documents is the recognition of NIPT as an important tool for increasing the efficiency of prenatal detection of CA, information about which should be provided to all pregnant women.In order for the pregnant woman to receive the maximum benefit from NIPT, pre- and post-test counseling with an explanation of the possibilities and limitations of the method in general and in the given clinical situation is crucial.
