Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Lee Jaehyun , Chung Won-Ji , Kim Sungsoo , Jeong Chul
Published: October 2023

Tanzania in Africa is generating socio-economic benefits through safari tourism. Given that safari tourism centers on ecological resources and wildlife, tourists may feel less certain about what they will actually see or encounter. Tourists tend to utilize online reviews to reduce uncertainty and gain insights into trends. This study aims to understand the key topics and trend changes in perceptions of Tanzanian safari tourism products. English online review data from Safaribookings were crawled to accomplish the research purpose, and the Dynamic Topic Modeling (DTM) algorithm, which is suitable for temporal trend analysis, was utilized to address the research questions. The analysis revealed the following six major topics, all demonstrating trend changes: safari tourism recommendations, wildlife tourism experiences, experiences in transport payments, hotel and airline booking experiences, Mount Kilimanjaro tourism experiences, and tourism experiences in Zanzibar and Selous. The study results support that the DTM, which is used to overcome temporal limitations and implement systematic processes, is a systematic research method and can help expand the scope of research methodologies. Further, based on the analysis results, this study can aid stakeholders, such as safari marketers, in establishing Tanzania safari tourism marketing strategies.

Remote work in public long-distance trains – Higher mental load than in a single office during remote processing of routine tasks Objective: More and more commuters and travelers are using their time in long-distance trains for mobile work. The impact of working in this environment on the resulting mental workload is not well understood. As part of an extensive field study, the study discussed in this paper addresses mental workload during the execution of routine remote work in the ICE. Methods: 59 persons performed a routine task in an ICE train: For two hours, they processed fictitious customer inquiries in a ticket system. Every 10 minutes, their stress level was measured using the SEA scale (Eilers et al. 1986). In a control condition in the laboratory, the same individuals completed a comparable task in a single office. Results: A pairwise comparison (Wilcoxon signed-rank test) revealed significantly higher mental load during in-train working. Examination of age effects indicates that mental load in the train condition increases with age. Conclusion: When performing routine remote work on an ICE train, it must be assumed that the work environment will lead to higher mental workload. Task content and temporal scope should be adjusted accordingly to ensure safe and healthy work. Keywords: remote work – routine task – mental strain – public transport – cognitive ergonomics

Published: October 2023

Uptake of various dental specialties does vary globally. There is scarce information regarding motivations and preferences for various dental specialties in developing countries.

Aims and objectivesThis study aimed to determine perceptions, preferences and factors that influence dental specialty choice in Kenya.

Design and methods

This was a cross-sectional study among dental students and dental interns conducted at two dental schools inKenya. It was a census study that used self-administered questionnaires to collect information.

ResultsMost (76%) participants indicated a desire to specialise, more so by Moi University students (82%). The most preferred specialties were maxillofacial surgery, restorative dentistry, prosthodontics and orthodontics. Female respondents reported highest preference for restorative dentistry whereas male respondents reported highest preference for maxillofacial surgery. Perceived financial returns and personal interest were the most important factors influencing choice of specialty. Maxillofacial surgery was perceived to guarantee higher financial returns, whereas dental public health was perceived to have the highest impact to the community. Most participants preferred working in the private sector.

ConclusionThere was a high desire to specialise among participants, especially in maxillofacial surgery and restorative dentistry. Key factors influencing choice of specialty were personal interest and better financial returns

In this paper, we discuss available references on the state of modern snack market and provide arguments for the need to bring new products to the market that meet the ideas of a healthy lifestyle. Highly mineralized waste, which is generated during fish cutting, is presented as a promising raw material. Its introduction to food compositions during production of snacks will ensure the rational use of resources, allow the production of inexpensive functional products with a reduced salt content, without chemical preservatives, dyes, flavorings, and ensure the attractiveness of snacks for consumers. Sociological study of the target audience of product consumers and analysis of the characteristics of snacks from secondary highly mineralized raw materials in comparison with snacks of other types are presented. The calculation of the nutritional and energy value of our snacks, as well as the degree of satisfaction of the daily human need for basic substances when using 100 g of products, was performed.

Authors:   Kamchatka Branch of Pacific Geographical Institute FEB RAS, Artukhin Yu.B.
Published: October 2023

The research was carried out in October – December 2022 in the Pacific waters of Kamchatka and the Northern Kuril Islands on aboard medium-tonnage trawler fishing for pollock. We counted seabirds on line transects and in near-vessel aggregations. A total of 28 species were recorded, mainly larids and alcids. The density of bird distribution in the surveyed seawater area was 25.8 birds/km2 on average. Among them alcids (58.6%) and procellariids (27.4%) predominated. Most of the tubenoses and larids (15 species) wandering in the fishing areas were concentrated near the trawler, where they fed on catch processing waste. The most abundant were the northern fulmar and short-tailed shearwater, whose numbers reached 20 and 5 thousand individuals, respectively. The size of the near-vessel aggregations varied significantly during the fishing period. The population of seabirds had a transitional character, as it consisted of resident species that still continued to stay in the nesting areas, as well as transiting and arriving here for the winter from other regions.

Published: October 2023

Teacher-family partnership are elements of high-quality early childhood education and care (ECEC). Nevertheless, the need for better understanding such partnerships and factors influencing it particularly for children under three is underlined. This study compares teachers’ and mothers’ reports regarding real and ideal partnership practices, exploring child, ECEC and family level predictors of partnership. Mothers and teachers of 90 infants answered the Real-Ideal Teacher-parents Partnership Scale (Gaspar, 1996). Classroom quality was observed with CLASS-Infants (Hamre et al., 2014); home environment with HOME (Caldwell & Bradley, 1984); child temperament with IBQ (Rothbart, 1981). Results show that both mothers and teachers report a medium-high number of implemented practices. Ideally, they would like a significantly higher number of practices to be implemented. Mothers and teachers report of real and ideal practices were significantly associated. Teachers tend to report more practices than mothers. Teacher qualification was uniquely and positively associated with real partnership practices reported both by teachers and mothers. Teacher qualification was the only statistically significant predictor of ideal practices reported by teachers; mothers’ education predicted mothers’ report on ideal partnerships. Results point to the relevance of teacher qualification for better partnerships, particularly considering the variability of legal requirements regarding teacher qualification in infant classrooms across Europe.
Manifesto of Surrealism: Common and Opposite in the Established Genre
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Fiedosieiev Nikita
Published: October 2023

The purpose of this publication is to systematize and generalize information about the Manifesto of Surrealism in the context of finding various factors of influence on the specified modernist direction of culture and art. Leaders of surrealism and researchers of this trend emphasized that it is not only about the methods of creating works and the form of their living, but also about the picture of the world and the type of mentality. In «The First Manifesto of Surrealism» (1924), rational thinking is rejected in favor of dreams, the aimless play of imagination and mental automatism uncontrolled by consciousness. «The Second Manifesto of Surrealism» (1929) proclaims the need to overcome the absurd distinction of supposed opposites (beautiful and ugly, true and false, etc.) to which civilizations and societies that care about the perpetuation of violence are so devoted. The early «sacred texts» of Surrealism caused a chain reaction that spread throughout the Western world within a decade and a half. When Surrealism was born, it was more than just an artistic movement. Surrealism is poetry, painting, and worldview, social and political movement. Surrealism arose in difficult conditions, at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, when the spiritual crisis of European civilization was evident. One of the most important founders of surrealism is A. Breton, a French writer and poet. Surrealists were looking for a base, a foundation on which they could build the temple of their worldview. One of these foundations is the philosophy of the French thinker A. Bergson, who claimed that the mind is unable to grasp the true nature of phenomena, but only intuition is able to look at a thing and see its true being. According to A. Bergson, reality is perceived not through logical forms, but through the forms of pure «individual vision». When an artist learns the world through «inner contemplation», his art inevitably departs from logically objective reality. The act of creation thus acquires an irrational, mystical character. A dualism of intuition and intellect appears which is inherent in logical thinking.

Published: October 2023

The study evaluated the effectiveness of interval hypoxia in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease receiving basic therapy. The study employed double-blind randomization with placebo control in two parallel groups of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Course interval hypoxic therapy (10 sessions) and screening laboratory and instrumental evaluation of its effectiveness were conducted initially and before discharge of the patient who received treatment, which included stress hypoxic-stress testing, computer spirography, general and biochemical blood tests. The study involved 22 patients with grade 23 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the phase of drug control, who had similar cardiovascular comorbid backgrounds and were randomly divided into equal groups. Ten sessions of interval hypoxic therapy in the main study group significantly reduced laboratory markers of inflammation, promote high-speed ventilation, and increased desaturationreoxygenation indicators in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in comparison with the control group. During hypoxic training, an increase in the functional capabilities of the respiratory system indicated the probable sanogenic effects of hypoxia on the elasticity, extensibility, and resistance of the bronchopulmonary continuum, which can positively affect gas exchange by improving the diffusionperfusion capabilities of the lungs. In general, the results correspond to modern concepts about the relationship between hypoxia and inflammation. The results can be used as a reference for the development of a promising approach, in addition to basic therapy, to prevent exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Evaluating the Aftershock Duration of Induced Earthquakes
Authors: Kroll Kayla A. , Brudzinski Michael R.
Published: October 2023

As the carbon sequestration community prepares to scale up the number and size of commercial operations, the need for tools and methods to assess and mitigate risks associated with these operations becomes increasingly important. One outstanding question is whether aftershocks of induced events decay quickly after injection operations cease or if aftershock activity persists for hundreds of years before returning to background levels more akin to tectonic events (Stein and Liu, 2009). Appropriate estimates of the aftershock duration impact several operational management decisions including mitigation strategies and post-injection monitoring for seismic activity. It is hypothesized that induced earthquake rates may diminish more quickly after injection is stopped, owing to higher stressing rates from injected fluids. Alternatively, it is plausible that only the first event in the sequence is induced by increased fluid overpressures, whereas subsequent events (e.g., aftershocks) respond to the stored tectonic stresses and static and dynamic stress changes due to the mainshock (Keranen et al., 2013). If the aftershock duration can be linked to stressing rates due to injection, then it follows that operational strategies to reduce seismic hazard by reducing injection rates or volumes may be successful. However, if aftershocks of induced events are relieving stored tectonic stresses, then altering injection volumes may not alleviate ongoing seismic activity. Furthermore, knowledge of an aftershock duration could aid in the determination of an appropriate post-injection monitoring period for ongoing seismicity, which is a factor in overall operational costs. In this study, we model induced seismicity sequences in Oklahoma with a coupled Coulomb rate–state earthquake rate model (Dieterich, 1994; Kroll et al., 2017) to estimate aftershocks durations. Results for the current study indicate that elevated rates of aftershock activity following induced mainshocks return to background seismicity rates in less than five years, contrary to the tens to hundreds of years observed for tectonic aftershocks.

Published: October 2023

Objective: to study the effectiveness of the hypromellose-based medicine Artificial Tears®, eye drops, in the treatment of dry eye syndrome in students with myopic refraction. Patients and methods. A total of 147 students of Academician E.A. Wagner Perm State Medical University with different types of clinical refraction were examined. Among them 63 students with myopic refraction of various degrees in 110 eyes were included in the study (mean age — 22.6 ± 0.16 years, 49 (78 %) women, 14 (22 %) men). Dry eye syndrome was detected in 49 (78 %) participants in 82 eyes (74.5 %). According to the myopia correction method, 3 groups were formed: Group 1 — students with eyeglasses; Group 2 — students constantly using soft contact lenses; Group 3 — students who had excimer laser correction by LASIK method. The remaining students (n = 14) had no dry eye syndrome. The study was conducted in two stages: at baseline and then repeated after 4 weeks in students with dry eye syndrome who used daily the medicine Artificial Tears®. Subjective assessment was based on the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire. Оbjective assessment included function tests, characterizing the precorneal tear film stability and total tear production level. Results. In the process of treatment a good tolerance of the given medicine was reported. Analysis of the overall results showed that the mean OSDI score decreased statistically significantly from 26.92 to 20.29 seconds (p ≤ 0.0001). The mean tear film break-up time increased from 7.95 to 11.25 (p ≤ 0.0001). The mean Schirmer’s test score was slightly changed: from 13.98 to 14.07 mm due to the presence of increased tear production in some students, which is characteristic of the dry eye syndrome initial manifestations. Conclusion. The medicine Artificial Tears® in the form of eye drops is well tolerated and is sufficiently effective in eliminating the dry eye syndrome manifestations after only 4 weeks of use. The treatment with the medicine Artificial Tears® showed a statistically significant reduction in the disease severity (according to the OSDI questionnaire data) and an increase in the tear film break-up time. The received results allow us to recommend the medicine Artificial Tears® for medical use in patients with various degrees of myopic refraction, regardless of the myopia correction method used.

Los paisajes hortícolas estudiados son un recurso valioso para el mantenimiento de la agrobiodiversidad y para la generación de cadenas de valor más sostenibles en la periferia urbana más grande de Costa Rica, a la vez que constituyen espacios clave para la sostenibilidad ecológica de los espacios protegidos del sistema montañoso central.
Epidemiología en la pospandemia: de una ciencia tímida a una ciencia emergente
Authors: Almeida Filho Naomar
Published: October 2023

La primera versión de este libro, publicada hace veinte años, se llamaba La ciencia tímida: Ensayos hacia la deconstrucción de la epidemiología. Desde entonces, la aparición de nuevas enfermedades, con alta letalidad o secuelas impactantes, como el Ébola, el hantavirus, el Zika y otras, ha ido alimentando el imaginario distópico, en oleadas de libros, películas y videojuegos sobre mundos futuros asolados por zombis, mutantes y caníbales. Nunca se pudo imaginar que epidemiólogos protagonizarían algún día películas de catástrofes como poderosos héroes y heroínas, personajes encantadores y carismáticos personificados por celebridades de Hollywood. De forma abrupta, dramática y trágica, en un año extraño como el 2020, la pandemia de covid-19 vino a cambiar el mundo. De repente, médicos y médicas, intensivistas y generalistas, especialistas en infectología e inmunología, en genética y virus, en pediatría y geriatría, en neurociencias, matemáticas, física y ciencias de datos, todos y todas se declararían personas orgullosa y convincentemente epidemiólogas. La pandemia vino a romper el letargo de una ciencia que, en muchos momentos de su historia, habría sido demasiado tímida. En la pospandemia, la epidemiología se reconstruye y se renueva como una ciencia teóricamente consistente, metodológicamente rigurosa y políticamente comprometida. Esta nueva versión del libro, revisada, reescrita y ampliada, narra esa transición o transformación, de la timidez a la audacia, de la epidemiología como una ciencia emergente, orientada hacia la complejidad, lista para luchar por la calidad-equidad de la salud en la sociedad de los riesgos.

Authors: Ratri Ayu , Bram Barli
Published: October 2023

Deixis in English is a phenomenon of understanding words and phrases by considering contexts and actual speech action. Second learners can employ the pragmatic deixis in various literary works or other media dimensions to comprehend the Meaning of words and utterances. Hence, this study attempted to know the types of deixis in King Charles III Inaugural speech. The researchers obtained the transcript from the New York Times and analysed it using descriptive research to explore and explain the deixis types in the speech in more detail. The writers used Cruse’s (2000) theory to indicate the five types of deixis. The data revealed that all types of deixis occurred in speech, including person deixis, spatial deixis, temporal deixis, discourse deixis, and social deixis. The type of deixis that appears most often is person deixis, with a percentage of 71%. Meanwhile, the deixis that appears the least is social deixis, with a percentage of only 3%. The spatial and discourse deixis each have a percentage of 9%, followed by temporal deixis with a percentage of 8%. The result of this study is likely to enrich second learners of English's knowledge and vocabulary of pragmatic studies, primarily the phenomenon of deixis.

Introducción: la estenosis traqueal postintubación es una patología de baja prevalencia que aumentó su incidencia en la pandemia COVID-19, como consecuencia de que más del 90% de los pacientes ingresados en las unidades de terapia intensiva requirieron intubación orotraqueal y/o traqueotomía.
Caso clínico: paciente de 54 años, que cursó una neumonía grave por COVID-19, permaneció en asistencia respiratoria mecánica durante 15 días, y posterior a ello presentó disnea súbita; se realizaron estudios de imagenología y broncoscopía, con diagnóstico de estenosis traqueal que fue tratada inicialmente con dilatación broncoscópica; ante la presencia de recidiva se optó por un procedimiento quirúrgico, con posterior evolución favorable. 
Conclusiones: la estenosis traqueal aumentó su prevalencia e incidencia debido a la utilización de respiradores automáticos que generó complicaciones resueltas quirúrgicamente. Una cervicotomía en collar, disección por planos hasta el segmento estenótico, resección y anastomosis término-terminal de tráquea, permitió resolver satisfactoriamente el presente caso.
