COVID-19 Fake News on Twitter
Authors: Lu Yuk Ho , Chiu Chin Fung , Chiu Dickson K. W. , Ho Kevin K. W.
Published: February 2023

There have been increasing concerns about spreading COVID-19 fake news and misinformation from social media sites (SNSs) such as Facebook and Twitter, as they facilitate connection and communication on a large scale. Because of the massive amount of information transmitted through SNSs, manual verification of such information is impossible, prompting the development and implementation of automated methods for fake news identification, aka automatic fact-checking. Fake news creators employ a variety of aesthetic tactics to increase their success rates, one of which is to excite the readers' sentiment. Therefore, this research uses sentiment analysis to analyze whether sentimental and emotional words in SNSs content could explain the situations between the spreading of true and fake news. In this way, governments and platform providers could take action to help the general public identify fake news and misinformation and curb them at their source. This research also offers insights to the public on the importance and impacts of sentiment words in SNS content.
Responsive and Responsible Learning in the Malaysian Education System
Authors: Jayabalan Sheela Jayabala Krishnan
Published: February 2023

Responsive and responsible learning connects the learner to the content. It is grounded in the teacher's understanding of the subjects taught and connects with each student to not only comprehend the subject but also apply the knowledge to real-life situations. Responsive and responsible teaching should help students build on prior learning to develop skills, mold attitudes, and cultivate independent learning. The pedagogies of teaching, therefore, should be attuned to a student-centered learning approach instead of teacher-centered, which is the practice in most educational institutions around the world including Malaysia. However, the process of teaching should start with early childhood education. Only then can the effectiveness of nurturing students to be independent learners and thinkers, which is the foundation of responsive and responsible learning, be achieved. This chapter, therefore, discusses the weaknesses of the current teaching and learning approaches (pedagogies) practiced in Malaysia and the reasons why a change is desirable (i.e., a game changer).

Authors: Yusoff Nurahimah Mohd. , Yaacob Aizan
Published: February 2023

While many studies have acknowledged the positive impact of the scholarship of teaching and learning, also known as SoTL, issues and challenges in implementing SoTL at public universities, particularly in Malaysia, are not fully understood. Building on this gap, it is felt that there is a need to conduct a study on the SoTL grant recipients in Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM). This study chose the samples who could provide “rich and relevant information” to answer the research questions. The findings include issues related to (1) time constraints, (2) understanding SoTL concept, (3) SoTL inquiry, (4) student learning, (5) publication as an output, (6) difficulty in convincing others to change, (7) workload and (8) reflective practice. It is recommended that more trainings be given to SoTL recipients from various discipline areas, to ensure completion of the project and continuous mentoring be provided for them to ensure sustainability of SoTL. SoTL in UUM, it can be concluded, has empowered academicians in pursuing their academic endeavor.
A Spark-Based Parallel Implementation of Arithmetic Optimization Algorithm
Authors: AlJame Maryam , Alnoori Aisha , Alfailakawi Mohammad G. , Ahmad Imtiaz
Published: February 2023

Arithmetic optimization algorithm (AOA) is a recent population-based metaheuristic widely used for solving optimization problems. However, the emerging large-scale optimization problems pose a great challenge for AOA due to its prohibitive computational cost to traverse the huge solution space effectively. This article proposes a parallel Spark-AOA using Scala on Apache Spark computing platform. Spark-AOA leverages the intrinsic parallel nature of the population-based AOA and the native iterative in-memory computation support of Spark through resilient distributed datasets (RDD) to accelerate the optimization process. Spark-AOA divides the solutions population into several subpopulations that are distributed into multiple RDD partitions and manipulated concurrently. Simulation experiments on different benchmark functions with up to 1,000-dimension and three engineering design problems demonstrate that Spark-AOA outperforms considerably standard AOA and Spark-based implementations of two recent metaheuristics both in terms of run-time and solution quality.

Authors: Leghari Irfan M. , Ali Syed Asif
Published: February 2023

Improving the learning process requires to improve the cognitive traits of individuals with low mental skills. The artificial intelligence (AI) has been used to support the different individuals with impairments. People with Down syndrome fall in intellectual impairment. Different AI techniques of convolution neural network, artificial neural network and decision tree are widely applied to address the different cognitive traits. We have summarized the artificial intelligence review utilized for such individuals. The aim of this research article is investigate the usability of computational intelligence for addressing the deficits of cognitive skills and other traits. The individuals with cognitive impairment survive with limited mental challenge, therefore, they hardly perform daily life assignments. The individuals with down syndrome face mild to severe cognitive challenges that affects to their daily life activities, education and performing employment. So, they can have reduced the social and economic burden of their family and to make their live productive. Achieving these goals requires improvement in their cognitive challenge. A survey of (N = 50) of the individuals of Down syndrome has been carried out with the support of team of psychologists and teachers of homogeneous education system.
Semi-Supervised Event Extraction Incorporated With Topic Event Frame
Authors: Wu Gongqing , Miao Zhuochun , Hu Shengjie , Wang Yinghuan , Zhang Zan , Bao Xianyu
Published: February 2023

Supervised Meta-event extraction suffers from two limitations: (1) The extracted meta-events only contain local semantic information and do not present the core content of the text; (2) model performance is easily degraded because of labeled samples with insufficient number and poor quality. To overcome these limitations, this study presents an approach called frame-incorporated semi-supervised topic event extraction (FISTEE), which aims to extract topic events containing global semantic information. Inspired by the frame-based knowledge representation, a topic event frame is developed to integrate multiple meta-events into a topic event. Combined with the tri-training algorithm, a strategy for selecting unlabeled samples is designed to expand the training sets, and labeling models based on conditional random field (CRF) are constructed to label meta-events. The experimental results show that the event extraction performance of FISTEE is better than supervised learning-based approaches. Furthermore, the extracted topic events can present the core content of the text.
A Distributed Spatial Index With High Update Efficiency for Location-Based Real-Time Services
Authors: Fang Junhua , Zhang Zonglei
Published: February 2023

LBS-RT (location-based service in a real-time manner) has become popular because it can provide quick and timely services. Range query is often used in LBS-RT, which finds objects in a specified area, and spatial indices are often used to speed up range query. However, in LBS-RT, there are some difficulties. Spatial index was originally designed to index static dataset, but the dataset is dynamic in LBS-RT, which needs lots of insert and delete operations. To meet the gap, this paper proposes a new distributed spatial index called GQ-QBS. It's a two-layer master-slave mode that consists of a global index and multiple local indices. The global index (GQ-tree) is responsible for the dynamic load balancing and auto-scaling, while the local index (QBS-tree) is for quickly updating and querying. Experiments show the index has a significant advantage in LBS-RT.

Published: February 2023

Digitalization in the supply chain involves important transformations in the relationships between supply chain partners. Studies investigating these transformations underline the need to create and share new knowledge processes in order to achieve successful digital projects that improve integration and collaboration in the supply chain. This article proposes to make a parallel between the stages of the SECI model concerning knowledge conversion and the different phases of a Supply Chain 4.0 project. By using a longitudinal case study, the authors fill the gap on the dynamics of knowledge transformation in supply chain digital projects. Based on a supplier portal project, the case study presented helps to understand how to ensure that the different partners will get fully involved in the digital project. It provides five managerial recommendations for companies that wish to commit to supplier development and knowledge sharing through digital projects.

Authors: Wingerson Mathew J. , Baugh Christine M. , Provance Aaron J. , Armento Aubrey , Walker Gregory A. , Howell David R.
Published: February 2023

Context

The abrupt cessation of school and sport participation during the COVID-19 pandemic may have negative implications for adolescent mental health.

Objectives

To (1) compare mental, physical, and social health and behaviors during pandemic-related stay-at-home mandates with the same measures collected 1 to 2 years earlier and (2) evaluate the relationships between physical activity and sleep during the pandemic and changes in anxiety, fatigue, and peer relationships between assessment times.

Design

Cohort study.

Setting

Pediatric sports medicine center.

Patients or Other Participants

A total of 39 high school athletes (25 adolescent girls, 14 adolescent boys; age = 16.2 ± 0.9 years).

Main Outcome Measure(s)

Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement System anxiety, fatigue, and peer relationships short forms and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were completed twice (initial assessment in May 2018 or 2019, follow-up assessment in May or June 2020). Frequency and duration of physical activity and frequency of interaction with other individuals (family, peers, sport coaches, etc) were self-reported at follow-up assessment for the 2 weeks before school or sport closure and the 2 weeks before questionnaire completion.

Results

Higher levels of anxiety (5.5 ± 4.0 versus 3.6 ± 3.4 points; P = .003) and fatigue (5.4 ± 3.7 versus 2.3 ± 2.5 points; P < .001) and worse sleep quality (6.6 ± 2.9 versus 4.3 ± 2.3 points; P < .001) were observed during the pandemic compared with previous assessments. Reductions in physical activity were noted between assessments (exercise duration: 86.4 ± 41.0 versus 53.8 ± 30.0 minutes; P < .001). Sleep quality but not physical activity during the pandemic predicted changes in fatigue (P = .03, β = 0.44 [95% CI = 0.06, 0.83]) and peer relationships (P = .01, β = −0.65 [95% CI = −1.16, −0.15]) from initial to follow-up assessment.

Conclusions

Mental and physical health declined during stay-at-home mandates compared with assessments 1 to 2 years earlier. Physical activity behaviors and sources of social interaction underwent changes after school and sport cessation. Sleep quality may have provided some protection against declining adolescent mental health during the pandemic, although this relationship requires further investigation.

Authors: Agarwal Mridul , Joshi Reena Khantwal , Aggarwal Neeraj , Joshi Raja
Published: February 2023

Cold agglutinin disease is a type of autoimmune haemolytic anaemia caused by autoantibodies that bind to red blood cell antigens at a cold temperature and causes extravascular haemolysis and sometimes thrombosis also. Due to exposure to a lower temperature during open-heart surgery, the activation of haemolysis may occur in the presence of cold agglutinin antibodies. We present the management of a cyanotic child who has undergone open-heart surgery after the detection of high cold agglutinin titres during routine pre-transfusion screening.

Authors: Reddy Rudhira M. , Bhandary Sulatha V. , Rao Krishna A. , Lewis Leslie E. , Lal Shivakumar M. , Rachel Namitha M.
Published: February 2023

PURPOSE:

Platelets have a major role in the regulation of angiogenesis. Platelets have proangiogenic factors like vascular endothelial growth factor, which causes neovascularization of immature retina. However, there is no conclusive evidence to show that platelet indices have a role in retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). This study is aimed at assessing the role of platelet indices in the occurrence and need for treatment of ROP.

METHODS:

This prospective cohort study included the screening of preterm babies (<37 weeks of gestation with birth weight <2000 g). The samples of platelet indices (mean platelet volume [MPV], platelet count [PLT], plateletcrit [PCT], and platelet distribution width [PDW]) collected within 1st week of life were obtained from the electronic medical records and correlated to ROP status. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 22, and the Chi-square test and odds ratio were used for analysis.

RESULTS:

A total of 300 preterm babies were screened, of whom, 55 (18.3%) babies had ROP changes. The association of the presence of ROP changes and platelet indices was not statistically significant (P value being MPV [0.22], PLT [0.58], PCT [0.98], and PDW [0.17]). Similarly, the requirement of treatment for ROP (Type I ROP) could not be correlated with abnormal platelet indices (odds ratio at 95% confidence interval – MPV [6 (0.44–81.44)], PLT [1.7 (0.25–11.37)], PCT [3 (0.44–20.90)], and PDW [0.32 (0.33–3.05)]).

CONCLUSION:

Abnormal platelet indices did not show any significant risk with the occurrence or need for treatment of ROP.

Authors: Hatam Doaa Auday , Al-Janabi Allawi Noor Hussein , AL-Harris Shaimaa Saad Abdul-Zahra
Published: February 2023

Background:

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in the first two decades of life. There is, however, a paucity of reports on the pattern of its occurrence in Iraq.

Aim:

To determine the demographic characteristics, clinical presentation, and survival among children with RMS treated at Child's Central Teaching Hospital (CCTH).

Patients and Methods:

A retrospective study was on 48 patients of histologically proven. RMS, in previously untreated children aged <15 years old at the CCTH in Baghdad, during the period from January 2009 to December, 2017.

Results:

Forty-eight patients with confirmed RMS were included. The mean age (standard deviation) was 4.9 (3.5) years. Thirty-four patients (70.8%) were <6 years, male 22 patients (46.8%), female 26 patients (54.2%), male:female ratio of approximately 1:1.2. Histopathology was embryonal in 38 case (79.1%). Incisional biopsy was done in 21 patients (43.8%), while excisional biopsy in 18 (37.5%) patients. The head and neck was the most common site of involvement at presentation, (nonorbital) 16 (33.3%) of cases. The estimated 4-year event-free survival (EFS) was 26.3% ± 7%. Twenty-one (43.8%) patients abandoned treatment. Among the cases who completed their treatment in the center, eight cases (16.7%) relapsed. In univariate analysis using log-rank test, nodal involvement was found to significantly influence the EFS at 4 years (P = 0.01). The estimated 4-year overall survival was 41.4% ± 9%. Nodal involvement significantly reduces overall survival at 4 years (P = 0.006).

Conclusions:

Clinical features and epidemiology of RMS in Iraqi children treated at CCTH somewhat resembles those of other countries. However, the EFS at 4 years and overall survival at 4-years are lower than that reported elsewhere.
Molecular Detection of Agglutinin-Like Sequence 1 Gene in Candida albicans that is Isolated from Diabetic Foot Patients
Authors: Tariq Mohammad Hassan Mohammad , Abbas Uroba Khalid
Published: February 2023

Objectives:

Candida albicans is a microbe living within the natural human flora and is found in the upper respiratory tract, mouth, intestines, and vagina. C. albicans is able to cause infections that range from superficial infections of the skin to life-threatening systemic infections.

Aim of Study:

Detection of virulence gene agglutinin-like sequence (ALS) 1 by using molecular technology from clinical samples (C. albicans) that is isolated from ulcers of diabetic foot patients.

Materials and Methods:

This work was done on 235 patients who had diabetic foot patients admitted to the Specialized Center for Endocrinology and Diabetes (Baghdad Health Department/Rusafa) for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers during November 2020 till March 2021. The collected samples of diabetic foot ulcers were cultured on different media (Sabouraud's dextrose agar with chloramphenicol for selective isolation and culturing of yeasts and HiCrome Candida Medium) for isolation of C. albicans fungus as well as automated biochemical test VITEK 2 system. The ALS1 virulence gene was detected by polymerase chain reaction using newly designed primers with a molecular size (419 bp).

Results:

Out of 235 Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) cases, C. albicans were isolated in 20 (8.5%) patients (12 males and 8 females) of diabetic foot ulcers. In this study, the incidence of C. albicans infection at age [50–59 years] group was [40%], and increased at age group [60–69 years] to [55%], which represents the highest incidence of infection, then decreased in the age group [79–79 years] to [5%]). Seventy-five percent of the isolates were ALS1 gene positive.

Conclusions:

Diabetic people are more susceptible to infections due to their hyperglycemic environment and reduced immunity. The use of HiCrome Candida Identification Media with VITEK 2 system can help reduce the unnecessary steps of microorganism identification process. C. albicans infection is more common in males the females regarding diabetic foot ulceration. Majority of diabetic foot ulcers occur in older adults. ALS gene might be associated with diabetic foot ulceration.

Authors: Disu A. B. , Salawu S. O.
Published: February 2023

An investigation of magneto-hyperbolic tangent fluid motion through a porous sheet which stretches vertically upward with temperature-reliant thermal conductivity is scrutinized in this study. The current model characterizes thermal radiation and the impact of internal heat source in the heat equation plus velocity and thermal slipperation at the wall. The translation of the transport equations is carried out via the scaling Lie group technique and the resultant equations are numerically tackled via shooting scheme jointly with Fehlberg integration Runge-Kutta scheme. The results are publicized through various graphs to showcase the reactions of the fluid terms on the thermal and velocity fields. From the investigations, it is found that rising values of the material Weissenberg number, slip and suction terms damped the hydrodynamic boundary film whereas the heat field is prompted directly with thermal conductivity.
EFFECT OF MORINGA (MORINGA OLEIFERA) LEAF POWDER, NEEM (AZADIRACHTA INDICA) LEAF POWDER, AND CAMPHOR ON WEEVIL (CALLOSOBRUCHUS MACULATUS F.) IN STORED COWPEA (VIGNA UNGUICULATA (L.) WALP) SEEDS
Authors: MOHAMMED Adams Latif , IDDRISS Mariam
Published: February 2023

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.), one of the most important leguminous crops, is widely cultivated throughout the tropics, especially in the savanna regions of the world. However, its seed is attacked by several insect pests both in the field and in storage, especially the cowpea weevil. To control weevils, most farmers have adopted the use of chemical insecticides, but these insecticides come with health and environmental problems, and as a result, there is advocacy for the use of bio-pesticides in the form of tree botanicals. This study was conducted to assess the effects of neem leaf powder (NLP), moringa leaf powder (MLP), and camphor against the cowpea weevils (Callosobruchus maculatus) in a completely randomized design. Six treatments were used and allocated as T1 (control), T2 (4g of camphor), T3 (25g of NLP only), T4 (25g of MLP only) T5 (50g of NLP only) and T6 (50g of MLP). The treatments were replicated three times. The parameters studied were the numbers of damaged and undamaged seeds, the numbers of dead and live weevils, and the taste of cowpea seeds. The treatments effectively protected the cowpea seeds during the storage period of eight weeks. The preservation of cowpea seeds given by camphor was significantly different from the other treatments. However, there was no significant difference (p >0.05) between the neem and moringa leaf powders treatments. The use of moringa and neem leaf powders might be adopted by cowpea farmers in sub-Saharan Africa as alternative, cheap, and available sources of biopesticides to use as chemical insecticides. If cowpea seeds are to be stored for consumption purposes, moringa leaf powder should be used since most respondents preferred the taste of cowpea seeds treated with moringa. Additionally, the storage duration of eight weeks was too short for the experiment, so further studies can be carried out for an extended period of more than eight weeks.

Sakarya Meydan Muharebesi (23 Ağustos-13 Eylül 1921) muzafferiyetle sona erdikten sonra şimdi sıra Yunan ordusunun Anadolu’dan atılmasına gelmişti. Bu minvalde Türk ordusu, zaman kaybetmeksizin taarruz hazırlıklarına başlamıştı. Taarruz hazırlığı yaklaşık 10,5 ay sürmüş ve hazırlıklar kapsamında gruplar kolordulara çevrilmiş, ordular kurulmuş ve Türk ordusuna kati neticeyi verdirecek olan Sad taarruz planı hazırlanmıştı. Plana göre cephenin sıklet merkezi Afyon’un güneyi idi. Yunan ordusuna darbe buradan indirilecekti. Bu plan çerçevesinde ordunun büyük bir kısmı Afyon güneyine hareket ettirilmişti. Hareket eden kuvvetlerden biri de 4’üncü Kolordu idi. Kolordu, Afyon’un güneyinde cephenin kalpgâhından cepheyi yarma görevi almış ve 26 Ağustos 1922’de taarruz başladığında cepheyi yaran ilk kuvvetlerden (5’inci Kafkas Tümeni) biri olmuştu. Ayrıca Büyük Taarruz’dan sonra Yunan Başkomutanı olarak atanan General Trikupis, 4’üncü Kolordu bölgesinde 5’inci Kafkas Tümeni tarafından esir edilmişti.

Çalışmada Büyük Taarruz’da 1’inci Ordu’ya bağlı 4’üncü Kolordunun cephe faaliyetleri ele alınmıştır.

Published: February 2023

Currently, countries worldwide are debating their strategies to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has called energy efficiency (EE) the “first fuel,” the most cost-effective way to reverse this unprecedented challenge and provide significant benefits to society. In this sense, a proposal for the Brazilian Ten Years Energy Efficiency Plan (PDEf) was launched in 2020, which brings actions and goals for the year 2030 on EE at federal government level, aiming to generate lower energy intensities in the country. Looking to establish a further disaggregation level of the energy conservation policies portfolio, this paper intends to go to the state government level, taking the state of São Paulo as a case study. The aim is to make projections of electricity and fuel savings in relevant sectors for the year 2030 and propose adjustments in public policies. As results, electricity savings of 11,171.46 GWh and fuel savings of 7,486.74 ktoe are expected by 2030. These values represent 5,1% of the electric energy consumption and 11% of the fuel consumption projected for São Paulo in 2030.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of changes in village progress on the operating revenues of village-owned enterprises (BUMDesa). The data is sourced from the Developing Village Index (IDM), profit and loss statements, and balance sheets for 2019-2020 from 30 BUMDesa units located in Bogor Regency, West Java Province, Indonesia. The method used is a panel data regression analysis approach. The results showed that the model chosen in describing the effect of changes in village progress on the income of Village Owned Enterprises was the Random Effects (REM) Model with an F value of 0.000316 less than a significant level of 5% indicating that the level of development of village progress had a positive effect on operating revenues village-owned enterprises. The results of this study at least provide confirmation to the Government to encourage village progress so that it has an impact on the progress of business institutions in the village.

Published: February 2023

Background: Currently, there is no standardized approach to managing critically ill COVID-19 patients with acute kidney injury and ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Continuous renal replacement therapy is a routinely used technique in managing critical patients in the intensive care unit. This procedure is applicable in patients with unstable hemodynamic, renal, or non-renal indications, such as removing the excess urea and creatinine from patients with acute kidney injury or clearing the tumor necrosis factor from patients with systemic inflammations.

Method: This was a retrospective case report, after analysis of patient clinical data. The patient provided written informed consent to publish their case details and any accompanying images. The study protocol complies with the requirements of the institute’s committee of Haji Adam Malik Hospital, Medan, Indonesia.

Results: This report presents a case of ST-Elevation myocardial infarction with COVID-19 infection and acute kidney injury who successfully managed by percutaneous coronary intervention and continuous renal replacement therapy. This patient was prepared for percutaneous coronary intervention and intubated with consideration of strict infection control. To improve the outcomes, we performed continuous renal replacement therapy with continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration mode. The patient improved with a stable hemodynamic and better renal function after 24 hours of continuous renal replacement therapy.

Conclusion: Early continuous renal replacement therapy might be beneficial in treating COVID-19 patients with AKI, who previously underwent percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-elevation myocardial infarction.

Published: February 2023

Ensuring food safety of the quality of sold products is one of the urgent problems of the wine industry. The trend of falsification of well-known brands of domestic and imported wines is a characteristic feature of the modern market of wine products. Known methodological bases for assessing the quality of wine products in most cases do not have the potential to recognize many modern «technological solutions». To solve this problem an analytical method can be proposed on modern equipment "FTIR BACCHUS 3". This analyzer allows you to determine the chemical substances and the range characteristics of these substances. This method has been chosen for the identification of wine samples and not by chance, when using it, the analysis time is significantly reduced, and the range of chemical elements determined by the analyzer is quite wide, and reagents are not needed for this equipment. The method does not require preliminary preparation of samples; it is also quite new, not popular in Russia. The article presents a comparative review of classical wine identification methods. The presented material indicates the relevance of creating a database on the chemical composition of wines that determine their authenticity using new instrumental techniques. The proposed multi-parameter wine analyzer FTIR BACCHUS 3 is a system for the analysis of worts and wines using chemometric methods, based on the acquisition of the mid-IR spectrum (FTIR). The method is based on chemometrics, i.e. obtaining chemical data using mathematical methods of data processing and extraction, which will increase the reliability of assessing the authenticity and place of origin of wine products.

Published: February 2023

The research presents the tourist attraction of the city of Hajdúszoboszló and the development of tourism within the city. We also made a comparison with the national tourist data in the case of Hajdúszoboszló. The study of the topic is topical, as tourism has undergone tremendous changes not only nationally but also globally in the last two years as a result of the global pandemic epidemic. At the end of the research, the pandemic situation had weakened, but its direct and indirect effects were still felt to a small extent in tourism. That is why we have reviewed the overall development of tourism in the world and in Europe in recent times. We also reviewed the essential features of domestic tourism. We have also summarized in detail the measures aimed at alleviating the sector’s downturns and facilitating the boom in tourism. For these reasons, we examined the factors influencing the holiday in Hajdúszoboszló among the guests (holiday) staying in the city in the framework of our own questionnaire survey. How the guests planned to spend their vacation, which city attractions and locations are the biggest attraction for them in Hajdúszoboszló.

The aggregate results of the survey are compared with a similar recent survey by the Tourinform office. The Tourinform survey was more widely conducted (due to financial factors). The survey from the Tourinfo office is representative. The conclusions drawn from the results of the two studies adequately show the development of tourism in the city.
