Authors: Monleón Oliva Vicente
Published: January 2024

La cinematografía y los productos audiovisuales Disney se caracterizan y consideran significativos por el gran alcance mediático que presentan desde su andadura a principios del s. XX hasta la actualidad. De hecho, para asegurarse la continuidad de una clientela fija a lo largo de los diferentes momentos contextuales que atraviesa, produce películas en live action de los filmes clásicos de animación. Esta es una tendencia muy característica de Disney en el x. XXI. No obstante, para este estudio se analiza críticamente y cinematográficamente el primero de todos, el cual es producido en 1996. Este es 101 dálmatas: ¡Más vivos que nunca! Concretamente, siguiendo la técnica de investigación artística del ensayo visual, se ofrece visibilidad a las características maniqueas del personaje antagónico de Cruella en base a los motivos visuales más característicos que confeccionan su estética en el filme.
“Prostituta, monja, reina de belleza, campesina, hippie, señora, sirvienta y así”: El Colombia color de Patricia Bonilla (1979-1985), un análisis
Authors: Rueda Fajardo Santiago
Published: January 2024

En poco más de un lustro, en el periodo 1970-1985, Patricia Bonilla realizó una de las más brillantes series fotográficas de fin de siglo en su país, El Colombia Color, una serie de autorretratos donde asumía los roles y condiciones de la mujer en la sociedad colombiana, a la vez que aprovechaba los escenarios y actitudes de sus personajes para realizar un homenaje a la cultura popular de su país.  Hoy, cuando la fotografía es omnipresente, y cuando los debates sobre identidad y género, sujeto y representación, se presentan como imprescindibles, El Colombia Color, no visto por más de 30 años y recientemente exhibido, se revela absolutamente actual, permitiendo perspectivas inéditas en el estudio del arte de los años ochenta, de lo realizado por las mujeres artistas en ese periodo.

Authors: Dolinko Silvia
Published: January 2024

Este artículo revisa el trabajo de la artista argentina Claudia del Río, con especial énfasis en su producción de los años noventa y dos mil, a partir de la pregunta por su exploración material en relación con las distintas poéticas y políticas de su trabajo visual. Se sostiene la hipótesis que en las múltiples operaciones puestas en juego en la investigación creativa de Claudia del Río resulta central su vinculación entre relaciones materiales, afectivas y sociales; así, cuestiones de género, del cuerpo, de la transmisión de saberes y de la sociedad de consumo contemporánea se suceden en sus imágenes y en sus textos. En el diverso y polifacético trabajo de del Río, su exploración de las posibilidades sensibles de una materialidad múltiple permite comprender la continuidad que subyace en los cambios de su producción.

Authors:   Queen’s University, Belfast, UK, AlSarayreh Shrouq
Published: January 2024

Background: Exercising during pregnancy can provide physical and mental health benefits for expectant mothers. Purpose: To assess healthcare providers’ knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding exercise during pregnancy in hospitals. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used. A convenience sample comprised (142) healthcare providers who work in four public hospitals in the southern region of Jordan. Descriptive analysis and inferential statistics were used to answer the research questions. Results: The results showed that some of the participants (39.4%) were familiar with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists guidelines for exercise during pregnancy, while the majority of participants were knowledgeable about the benefits of exercise during pregnancy. Healthcare providers’ attitudes were positive. Regarding the level of practice, the findings showed that approximately 50.7% of the participants provided advice about exercise. Demographic characteristics had no significant correlation with healthcare providers’ attitudes. Conclusion: Although healthcare providers' attitudes towards exercise during pregnancy were positive, not everyone knew of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists’ guidelines. Implications for Nursing: Healthcare Providers should undertake workshops and lectures and then highlight the need to practice exercise during pregnancy, also they should start by making a full and comprehensive assessment of the pregnant woman and then provide appropriate advice as advocated by the WHO and ACOG guidelines. Educational programmes, booklets and pamphlets should be available for free in all the hospitals and maternal healthcare centres to increase awareness among women in the community. Keywords: Attitudes, Exercise, Healthcare providers, Knowledge, Practices, Pregnancy

Published: January 2024

Coral reefs are highly diverse and productive ecosystem in the ocean that provides various goods services to human and environment. Located within the renowned ‘Coral Triangle’ region, Malaysia is one the thriving countries in Southeast Asia that possess rich marine resources and coral reefs. Like other coral reef around the world, coral reefs in Malaysia are exposed to multiple threat that jeopardize their well-being. Those relying on these ecosystems may face severe consequences if they are lost. In recent decades, research on characterizing modern coral reefs has increased in Malaysia, including identifying key species and their distribution, understanding the factors that control coral growth and assessing the impacts of environmental stressors on reef health. This study is aimed to provide an overview of the current state of knowledge of modern coral characterization studies conducted in Malaysia. It presents the distribution maps of these coral reef studies conducted throughout Malaysia and discusses the techniques employed to characterize them. Most of the studies was conducted in South China Sea, particularly in East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia with Tioman Island, Pahang being identified as having the greatest number of studies. And, visual assessment have the higher frequency of use in characterizing Malaysia coral reef. Going forward, future studies in Malaysia should continue to explore others Malaysia reef, and techniques for characterizing coral reefs, while also conduct more studies in locations with limited research. These studies could have served as foundation resource for future conservation efforts in the face of ongoing threat and challenges.

Published: January 2024

The eastward propagation of atmospheric waves along the equatorial band from the central equatorial Indian Ocean to the western Pacific Ocean passing through the Indonesian Maritime Continent (IMC), known as the intraseasonal Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) event, plays an important role on modulating both atmospheric and upper ocean dynamics along its path. This study aims to investigate the MJO active phase dynamics and its impact on changes in near-surface seawater temperature and mixed layer depth (MLD) anomaly in the Banda Sea Indonesia, using multi-datasets of atmospheric reanalysis, satellites derived sea surface temperature (SST), and Argo float between 2017 - 2018. This study revealed that the MJO waves propagate eastward along the southern equator-line over the IMC and pass through the Banda Sea, associated with significant decreased on Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR) and increased in zonal wind speed at 850hPa. The study result shows anomalous increased on surface wind speed and SST cooling during of MJO active phase. The amplitude peaks of filtered ocean-atmosphere variables range between 30 – 60 days. Argo float datasets in the Banda Sea for the first time captured upper ocean responses to the arrival of the MJO active phase, as characterized by a negative temperature anomaly of ~0.3°C in the surface mixed layer, large temperature anomaly of ~0.8°C in the thermocline layer and the deepening of the MLD of ~25 m. Hence, the MJO active phase impacts significantly on surface and vertical temperature cooling and regulate upper ocean mixing intensity in the Banda Sea.

Published: January 2024

Background: The health of pregnant women is one of the nation’s health indicators. Maternal mortality rate (MMR) and infant mortality rate (IMR) are important indicators to assess a country's welfare and public health conditions. The majority of infant mortality occurs during the neonatal period, which is related to the mother’s health during pregnancy, the awareness of the mother and family about the importance of antenatal care, the participation of health workers, and the availability of medical facilities. In addition, communities in some regions still believe in myths and have a culture that is contrary to the health sciences, which has an impact on the health of pregnant women. This study aims to describe the pattern of pregnancy care in Indonesia.Method: This study is a literature review study. In the data identification process, a total of 263 articles were identified and filtered based on inclusion criteria, language, and research location.

Published: January 2024

Isopods are a diverse peracarid crustacean group with marine, freshwater and terrestrial representatives. Isopod species lists were typically prepared according to different habitats, which was true also for Slovenia. Here, we prepared the first unified overview of isopod species for Slovenia, which is also the first list of marine isopods in the country. We examined scientific publications, research reports and institutional databases. A total of 126 species have been recorded in Slovenia, of which 31 are marine, 21 are found in freshwater, and 74 are terrestrial. Of these, we report on seven marine and one terrestrial species for the first time. A major part of freshwater isopod richness is linked to the subterranean environment, where most endemic species for the country can be found. Among marine species, many are parasites, with potential economic impact, and two species are considered introduced. When the new species list is considered with valid national legislation, only 41 species retained the same taxonomic status. Many synonyms and invalid taxa according to recent taxonomy point out the need for revision the national red list of Malacostraca as well as other nature protection acts.
7Be and 22Na radionuclides for a new therapy for cancer
Authors: Kukulin Vladimir I. , Bibikov Anton V. , Tkalya Eugene V. , Ceccarelli Matteo , Bodrenko Igor V.
Published: January 2024

10B isotopes have been almost exclusively used in the neutron-capture radiation therapy (NCT) of cancer for decades. We have identified two other nuclides suitable for radiotherapy, which have ca. ten times larger cross section of absorption for neutrons and emit heavy charged particles. This would provide several key advantages for potential NCT, such as the possibility to use a lower nuclide concentration in the target tissues or a lower neutron irradiation flux. By detecting the characteristic γ radiation from the spontaneous decay of the radionuclides, one can image their biodistribution. These advantages could open up new possibilities for NCT applications as a safer and more efficient cancer therapy.
Flutter investigation and deep learning prediction of FG composite wing reinforced with carbon nanotube
Authors: Mohammed Aseel J. , Kadhom Hatam K.
Published: January 2024

The flutter of a composite wing reinforced with functionally graded carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been investigated. A rectangular plate models a supersonic wing with cantilever boundary conditions. To determine displacement fields of a moderately thick plate, shear deformation theory is used. Using the Hamilton principle, a first-order piston theory was used to simulate supersonic airflow. This study examines four types of CNT thickness. Also, four different CNT distribution patterns are investigated. In a two-layer asymmetric composite, the effects of patch mass, mass distribution, fiber orientation angle, and distribution of CNTs were examined. Moreover, the results are compared and verified with other studies. A greater mass ratio led to a smaller flutter boundary, while a longer added mass increased the flutter boundary. A variation in the distribution pattern in CNT fiber orientation results in a distinct behavior of the flutter boundary for asymmetric composites with increasing orientation angles. The artificial neural network is utilized to predict the damping ratio, and the results showed great accuracy compared to the study results. Hyperparameter tuning is employed for better optimizing the predictive models.

Authors: Varghese Ryan , Digholkar Gargi , Karsiya Jainam , Salvi Sahil , Shah Jeenam , Kumar Dileep , Sharma Rohit
Published: January 2024

Introduction

Despite the ever-increasing occurrences of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) cases around the world, very few medications have been validated in the clinical trials to combat COVID-19. Although several vaccines have been developed in the past quarter, the time elapsed between deployment and administration remains a major impediment.

Content

Repurposing of pre-approved drugs, such as phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, could be a game-changer while lessening the burden on the current healthcare system. Repurposing and developing phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors could extrapolate their utility to combat the SARS-CoV-2 infection, and potentially aid in the management of the symptoms associated with its newer variants such as BF.7, BQ.1, BQ.1.1, XBB.1.5, and XBB.1.16.

Administration of PDE5 inhibitors via the oral and intravenous route demonstrates other potential off-label benefits, including anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory effects, by intercepting several pathways. These effects can not only be of clinical importance in mild-to-moderate, but also moderate-to-severe SARS-CoV-2 infections. This article explores the various mechanisms by which PDE5 inhibitors alleviates the symptoms associated with COVID-19 as well as well as highlights recent studies and findings.

Outlook

These benefits of PDE5 inhibitors make it a potential drug in the physicians’ armamentarium in alleviating symptoms associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, adequate clinical studies must be instituted to eliminate any untoward adverse events.

Authors: Ding Chen , Reynolds Barry Lee , Szabo Csaba Z. , Boone Griet
Published: January 2024

Since collocation knowledge is integral to second language vocabulary depth, it necessitates a careful examination of various measurement approaches. To this end, the current paper provides an overview and evaluation of extant collocation measurements used in empirical studies on L2 English (N = 153) published between 1980 and 2023 indexed in the SSCI, SCIE, AHCI, SCOPUS, and ERIC databases. Six instruments, seven item formats, and three other assessment tools were identified and reviewed for the assessment of receptive and productive collocation knowledge. The review focused on the collocation knowledge measured by each tool, the instrument and/or item format employed, item design, reported reliability, and potential drawbacks of employing each instrument and item format in research or practice. The review proposes several theoretical and practical considerations for future assessments of and research on English collocation knowledge.
A preconditioned iterative method for coupled fractional partial differential equation in European option pricing
Authors: Wu Shuang , Chou Lot-Kei , Chen Xu , Lei Siu-Long
Published: January 2024

Recently, regime-switching option pricing based on fractional diffusion models has been used, which explains many significant empirical facts about financial markets better. There are many methods to solve the problem, but to the best of our knowledge, effective preconditioners for the second-order schemes have not been proposed. Thus, in this article, an implicit numerical scheme is developed for a regime-switching European option pricing problem under a multi-state tempered fractional model. The scheme is proven to be unconditionally stable and converges quadratically in space and linearly in time. Besides, the resulting linear system is solved using an iterative method, and a preconditioner is proposed to accelerate the rate of convergence. The preconditioner is constructed through circulant approximations to the Toeplitz blocks due to the coefficient matrix, which is is a block matrix with Toeplitz blocks. The spectral analysis of the preconditioned matrix is given, which demonstrates that the spectrum of the preconditioned matrix is clustered around 1. Numerical examples show the efficiency of the proposed method, and an empirical study is also provided.
Utopía en una ciudad de frontera. Intentos por instutucionalizar la planeación urbana en Matamoros, Tamaulipas, 1930-2000
Authors: Silva Aguilar Rafael , Bass Zavala Sonia , Aguilar Velázquez Silvia Lizbeth
Published: January 2024

El trabajo es una aproximación sociohistórica del crecimiento urbano de H. Matamoros, tomando en cuenta la relación de dos variables: urbanización e intentos de planear la ciudad entre 1930 y 2000. El objetivo central es conocer las estrategias utilizadas para integrar la planeación en el ordenamiento urbano desde distintas oficinas municipales. La metodología utilizada es cualitativa y consistió en una revisión de archivos históricos, que permiten visualizar elementos de orden primario para entrelazar dichas variables. Los hallazgos muestran una ciudad con un crecimiento desordenado, con una consolidación urbana y ordenamiento territorial limitado, además de carencias en servicios de infraestructura y equipamiento urbanos en considerables zonas de la periferia de la ciudad, producto de los intentos fallidos durante décadas por incorporar la planeación en el crecimiento urbano.

“Para dónde habría volado el pájaro”. El sitio de Cuautla y sus historiadores
Authors: Santiago Aparicio Eliud
Published: January 2024

Este ensayo analiza las diferentes interpretaciones que los historiadores presentan sobre el sitio de Cuautla. Asimismo, estudia la construcción del héroe y explora cómo evolucionó esta figura. En la primera mitad del siglo XIX el cura José María Morelos y Pavón monopolizó, en general, la atención durante el sitio pero en la segunda mitad recibieron atención otros actores. El siglo XX siguió con esa tónica pero apareció el embellecimiento de la crónica como una respuesta al movimiento armado de 1910. A partir de 1930, aparece un cambio de paradigma, ya que los historiadores revisan otros objetos de estudio.

In the article we analyse the approach to the family, fatherhood and motherhood presented in Roman Catholic theology. We analyse the period after the Second Vatican Council, and discuss the new opportunities for theological knowledge and analysis, in order to see how a unified approach to man and the family, and how the creation of a relationship with God is developed through the family. We analyse how, by understanding who a person is, we can find answers to questions of the meaning of life, as well as the discovery of the perfection of parenthood. We ask how the question of God and religious knowledge can serve to spread human love in the family.
Cadastral Surveys Using Terrestrial Laser Scanning - Accuracy and Economy
Authors: Zaloznik Sandra , Navratil Gerhard
Published: January 2024

Due to the wide range of possible applications, terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) has long since found its way into monument protection and construction. The advantage of this technology is the resulting 3D image of the surroundings including all visible objects as a 3D point cloud. At the office, all necessary information can be derived from the data set using specialized software. In order to test the suitability of TLS to create partition plans according to the Ordinance on Cadastral Surveying (VermV), a case study was conducted using both, a total station and a TLS. Both recordings were evaluated and compared for accuracy, cost-effectiveness, and legality. The accuracy of a TLS mainly depends on the care taken in the evaluation. Deviations occur if geometries are misinterpreted, however, such mistakes can be corrected in the office. From an economic point of view, the TLS requires 14% less total working time. The workload is shifted from the field to the office, with a 68% reduction in field work time. This leads to a reduction in costs and less disruption in the surveyed area. The use of a TLS is legally covered by the VermV. A major advantage of the technology is the recording of the entire environment suited for documentation, preservation of evidence, and added value for planners. However, the decision on the use of a TLS needs to be done case-based.

Published: January 2024

The paper discusses the application of geodetic methods of deformation analysis of reinforced concrete structures made of prestressed concrete. In the paper, two independent methods of deformation analysis are applied on the example of the Ratkov Laz bridge in Montenegro, based on two epochs of geodetic measurements in a 3D geodetic network, which consists of the reference part of the network and points on the bridge. The results of the Pelzer’s method and the robust IWST method were analyzed. Although similar displacement vectors are obtained using the two methods, there are some differences in the identification of unstable points on the bridge. The IWST method identified significantly fewer points as unstable compared to the Pelzer’s method. The aforementioned methods of deformation analysis are of great importance in the geodetic observation of all types of engineering facilities.
Ideational, Interpersonal, and Textual Meanings in a Japanese Storybook, “Kibou no Bokujou”
Authors: Puspitasari Dewi , Sujatna Eva Tuckyta Sari
Published: January 2024

This research examines ideational, interpersonal, and textual meanings by applying the theory of Systemic Functional Linguistics by Halliday & Matthiessen (2014). The qualitative methodology was used to comprehensively explain the meaning in a Japanese storybook entitled Kibou no Bokujou ‘A Livestock of Hope’ by Mori & Yoshida (2015). Based on the analysis of the lexico-grammatical aspect used in the text, it can be concluded that these three meanings simultaneously relate. Ideational meaning shows the domination of material processes generally found in children's narratives. Interpersonal meanings show a tendency of IndicativeDeclarative MOOD, which can be interpreted as the author of the storybook being positioned as the information provider to the readers. Textual meaning shows that the information distribution is frequently realized with the unmarked topical theme, which can be interpreted as most of the texts' subjects are farm owners and their cows. Meanwhile, the thematic progression is dominated by a reiteration pattern (constant theme). It can be interpreted that the same theme repeatedly and sequentially appears to help the readers understand the text. A storybook entitled Kibou no Bokujou has successfully provided information about the struggle of a farm owner who chose to stay on his farm after the earthquake and tsunami. The information is delivered in a narrative that can be easily understood without putting aside the entertainment aspect of a storybook.

Published: January 2024

This study aims to determine the impacts of the Pandemic on the development of 4C skills and learning motivation. 21st-century skills are a collection of skills humans need to face the times. The skills are creative thinking, critical thinking and problem-solving, communication, and collaboration (4C). Students in the 21st century need at least one of these skills to communicate their ideas effectively, think creatively, solve problems, and make wise decisions independently or in groups. The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on all life sectors, including education. There has been a significant change in the learning model from face-to-face learning to online or hybrid learning. This study uses an online questionnaire distributed to the students of Universitas Negeri Semarang Japanese language education study program. We collected the data from a total of 115 students. The questionnaire results, which were distributed to 115 students, found that the offline learning model was felt to hone the development of 4C skills. Regarding learning motivation, it was found that 76% of respondents felt that learning motivation had decreased, and 24% answered that they did not experience a decrease in learning motivation.

Authors: Sarila Hani , Haristiani Nuria , Widianti Susi
Published: January 2024

This study compares the politeness strategies used by Japanese and Indonesian speakers in communication on social media, based on Brown and Levinson's (1987) politeness theory. To investigate the utilization of politeness strategies in social media interactions, we gathered 200 comments on several contents by public figures on Twitter and Instagram posted in December 2022. The dataset comprises 100 comments from Japanese users derived from posts made by accounts like @yousuck2020, @kishida230, @watanabenaomi703, and @yuriko.koike. The other 100 comments were collected from Indonesian users, originating from accounts such as @fiersabesari, @jokowi, @raffinagita1717, and @ridwankamil.  The research findings show a similarity between Japanese and Indonesian speakers, with positive politeness strategy being the most frequently used politeness strategy in social media interactions. This is because there is a common desire to maintain good relationships in communication on social media. On the other hand, differences were observed in the utilization of negative politeness and off-record strategies. The research results reveal that the frequency of negative politeness strategies used by Japanese speakers was slightly higher than that used by Indonesian speakers. In comparison, the frequency of the off-record strategy was lower.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of discovery learning blended learning through the Ruangkelas feature on the Ruangguru application to improve student learning outcomes on animal tissue material. Research preparation was carried out at the Department of Biology FMIPA UNNES while the implementation of the research was carried out at SMA Negeri 1 Petarukan. The sample used in this study was 72 students of class XI MIPA, using probability sampling technique. This research is a quasi-experimental research using pre-experimental design type one group pretest-posttest design. Data collection used interviews, questionnaires, tests, observation, and documentation. The data analysis technique consists of data analysis (1) learning outcomes in the cognitive domain which are determined based on classical completeness and N-gain; (2) affective domain learning outcomes are determined based on attitude criteria; and (3) learning outcomes in the psychomotor domain are determined based on skills. Learning outcomes in the cognitive domain are determined based on tests (pretest and posttest), LDS, and LKS. Affective domain learning outcomes are determined based on self-assessment and peer assessment, while psychomotor learning outcomes are determined based on performance. The results of this study are (1) student learning outcomes in the cognitive domain of class XI MIPA show classical completeness of 83.33% and an N-Gain value of 0.5 in the moderate category; (2) student learning outcomes in the affective domain show 54.17% in very good attitude criteria and 45.83% good attitude criteria; (3) student learning outcomes in the psychomotor domain show 55.56% in very good attitude criteria and 44.44% good attitude criteria. From the results of this study, it is concluded that discovery blended learning through the Ruangkelas feature is effective in improving student learning outcomes.

This study aims to develop science literacy-based digital teaching materials that are feasible, practical, and effective for improving students' critical thinking on the sub-materials of energy flow and biogeochemical cycles. This type of research is research and development (RnD). The method used in research and development refers to the ADDIE development model. The population in this study were students in grades XI Mipa and X SMA Negeri 15 Semarang in the 2022/2023 academic year. MIPA 7 for small-scale trials and 60 students from each of 30 students X-1 and X-2. The data collection techniques used were interviews, questionnaires and tests. Based on data analysis, the feasibility test results of science literacy-based digital teaching materials by material experts amounted to 85% and media experts amounted to 82%. The results of the practicality test analysis by teachers in both scale trials were 90% and the results of the practicality test analysis by students in both scale trials were 84%. From all the results of the analysis, it is included in the category of very feasible and practical. To determine the effectiveness of science literacy-based digital teaching materials, pretests and posttests in classes X-1 and X-2 were conducted and then calculated using the N-Gain test based on aspects. The results of the N-Gain test for the science literacy aspect in both classes were 0.64% and the N-Gain test for the critical thinking ability aspect in both classes was 0.62%. This shows that classes X-1 and X-2 on improving science literacy and critical thinking skills are at moderate criteria. It can be concluded that the use of science literacy-based digital teaching materials is effective for improving students critical thinking skills in the sub-materials of energy flow and biogeochemical cycles.
Relational and person-centred approaches to archival practice and education
Authors: Sexton Anna , Shepherd Elizabeth , Duff Wendy
Published: January 2024

In 2013 Terry Cook identified four paradigms that have shaped archival theory and praxis over the last 150 years: evidence, cultural memory, societal engagement and identity and community.  More recently, Jennifer Douglas, Mya Ballin, and Sadaf Ahmadbeigi (2021) have identified a fifth emerging paradigm, Person-Centred Archival Theory and Praxis. Person-centred approaches to archival science shifts the discussion from a focus on records to a focus on “the people that create, keep, use and/or are represented in records.”  This paper argues that a person-centred approach to archival theory and praxis must acknowledge the deep emotional impact of working with records, record keeping and the people who create and use archives.

Published: January 2024

The study reveals aspects of the development of health tourism on a global scale, current trends in this area, and the spread of medical tourism. The presence of abundant re- sources for the development of health tourism in the recently liberated territories, including plentiful thermal and mineral waters, a favorable microclimate, and the potential for organizing phytotherapy using medicinal plants, necessitates a comprehensive resource assessment. The global upswing in demand for health and spa tourism, coupled with an increasingly competitive landscape, underscores the need for a more comprehensive exploration of the existing potential. A new approach and methodology in health tourism and its place in international tourism are being investigated. Methodological approaches show new trends and competitiveness in health tourism. In the article, the evaluation of balneological climate resources in the liberated regions, the possibilities of their use in health tourism, and analysis of the current situation are made based on multi-criteria evaluation. The effects of healing mineral waters, microclimate and landscape factors from the region’s balneological climate resources on the development of health tourism are being investigated. It is stated that the balneological climatic resources of Kalbajar, Lachin and Shusha regions enable the formation of a competitive health tourism industry. At the same time, the current situation of health tourism in Azerbaijan, supply and demand analysis, development directions and main customer base are examined. Based on the tables, the advantages of mineral and thermal waters in the region are shown by comparing them with similar ones. The technological approach and the conceptual model proposed in the study identified the participation of relevant parties, invest- ment resources, opportunities for joint use with other types of tourism, as well as aspects of mutual development with other sectors of the economy. The authors came to the reasonable assertion that the available climatic, balneological and therapeutic mineral resources open wide prospects for the development of health tourism in such villages as Istisu and Zulfugarli of Lachin district and Dashalti village of Shusha district.
