Authors: Nascimento Karin Krystina Maximo do , Lima Emersom Silva , Holanda Keyla Emanuelle Ramos de
Published: August 2024

Copaiba essential oil is an excellent anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and healing agent. However, its high volatility and low solubility limit its extensive applications. Encapsulation technologies have been developed as promising methods for alleviating their limitations. Encapsulation helps control the release, improve solubility and bioavailability, while reducing the volatility and toxicity of essential oils, improving the efficiency of their bioactive compounds and expanding their industrial uses. This review aims to bring together articles published in the Periódico Capes, Pubmed, Science Direct and other databases, using descriptors relating to copaíba essential oil, encapsulation techniques and the application of encapsulated OEC. About 3,063 articles were found, of which 116 were selected and subsequently evaluated with title/abstract readings, and 77 were chosen as the most pertinent to address the study topic of this review. The results confirm the importance of encapsulation in the functional properties of this oil, which can be used in cosmetic, pharmaceutical and health products.

Can website information be a constraint for people with physical disabilities? Assessing an index of national parks’ website content quality and efficiency
Authors: Aguilar-Carrasco Maria-José , Gielen Eric , Vallés-Planells Maria , Galiana Francisco
Published: August 2024

Internet communication and technologies are invaluable resources to plan nature-based recreation. However, their effectiveness for people with disabilities is limited if their specific informational needs are not adequately addressed. The aim of our research is to investigate and quantify the communicative efficiency of the national parks’ websites. To do so, we provide a tool to enhance the parks' website to increase access to the outdoors for the population evaluated in this paper. The proposed framework combines a Website Accessibility Information Quality Index (WAIQI) and the assessment of the URL’s search engine optimization. The case study shows that there is an information bias that keeps people with disabilities from equally enjoying Spanish national parks. Recommendations are suggested to improve website information to also cover the needs of all intersectional realities to facilitate user decision-making and encourage them to visit the parks.
Comparing Airbnb and traditional accommodation experiences using text-mining methods – the hedonic and utilitarian values framework
Authors: Klegr Tereza
Published: August 2024

In recent years, Airbnb has disrupted the accommodation industry, becoming both a valid alternative and a serious competitor to traditional accommodation. Understanding the consumer values associated with Airbnb and hotel accommodations is critical to comprehending travellers’ preferences for the one or the other. This study illuminates the utilitarian and hedonic aspects of travellers’ accommodation experiences with Airbnb and hotels and compares their roles and constitutions. We further examine which aspects elicit satisfaction and dissatisfaction, uncovering the qualities and weaknesses of the accommodation types. Using text-mining methods (STM, sentiment analysis), we analysed 437,820 web-scraped reviews from travellers who stayed at an Airbnb or a hotel via Booking.com in Prague, Czechia. We found that hedonic values – the host, neighbourhood ambiance, enjoyment, and homeliness – are the distinguishing aspects of Airbnb experiences, while utilitarian categories associated with convenience – room comfort, food and drink, and cost-effectiveness – distinguish hotel experiences. We further found that the key quality of one form of accommodation is simultaneously the main weakness of the other: in hotels, the main source of satisfaction is the room, and the main dissatisfying aspect the staff, while in Airbnb, the host elicits only positive sentiments, and the room is the main source of dissatisfaction. We also revealed a substantive common base of the experiences. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed.
Quantile lens on carbon footprints: Renewable energy, tourism, financial development, and the pursuit of Sustainable Development Goals 2030
Authors: Mehmood Saqib , Kaewsaeng-on Rudsada
Published: August 2024

The pursuit of sustainable development goals (SDGs) by 2030 has become a global imperative, necessitating a comprehensive examination of factors influencing carbon footprints across various sectors. In light of varying levels of sensitivity among the top five tourist countries—France, Spain, the United States, Turkey, and Italy—to renewable energy, tourism, financial development, and sustainable development goals (SDGs), this study addresses the challenge of effectively harnessing these factors to achieve comprehensive carbon emissions reduction and sustainable development objectives. By taking data from 1997 to 2021, novel panel quantile regression analysis is performed to ascertain the long-run impacts in lower, middle, and upper quantiles. It finds that renewable energy investments and eco-friendly tourism practices, supported by financial development initiatives, can substantially reduce carbon dioxide emissions in top tourist destinations. These measures are essential for maintaining the concerns of the economy and environmental preservation. Renewable energy and financial development unequivocally lead to decreased carbon emissions in the middle and higher quantiles. Tourism development leads to an escalation in carbon emissions approximately in all the quantiles, i.e., from 0.10 to 0.90. The findings of this study underscore that it is crucial to implement specific measures to encourage the use of renewable energy, environmentally friendly practices in tourism, and sustainable financial initiatives. It will not only effectively reduce carbon emissions in top tourist destinations, but also make progress towards achieving sustainable development goals by 2030.
You Are Not Alone
Authors: Bédard Philippe
Published: August 2024

This article focuses on the use of virtual reality (VR) in the context of “impact campaigns.” Distinct in many ways from publishing a project on a digital storefront, im- pact campaigns assume a more carefully designed experi- ence, starting with the exhibit itself. Rather than considering VR as an end in itself, my goal is to situate this unique type of mediated experience within a larger network of social activism. Key to this project is an understanding of the role documentary films have played within societal movements. By learning from the larger history of impact production, this article seeks to highlight some of the shortcomings with VR as it has been used until now in socially minded projects. By extension, my goal is also to emphasize the things VR creators can learn from impact producers to make sure their projects reach the right audiences and affect them accordingly.
Embracing Otherness?
Authors: Eichwalder Manischa
Published: August 2024

“Embracing the otherness” is a phrase that is borrowed from Morehshin Allahyari’s virtual reality artwork She Who Sees the Unknown: Kabous, the Right Witness, and the Left Witness (2019). In this article, I am using this phrase to question the figuration of self and other as staged by Allahyari in her work. By deploying an overwhelming effect of immersion specific to the technological features of VR, Allahyari establishes a physical as well as an emo- tional relationship to the other. But instead of encouraging a sense of closeness, which is likely to be connected to the idea of “embracing otherness” as well as to the vision of VR as “empathy machine,” this immersive experience has the opposite effect. I argue that it weirdly plays with the appropriative mechanisms of othering, unsettles the viewer’s sovereignty, and thus initiates a rather “strange encounter.” In this sense, I will examine Allahyari’s use of VR’s immersiveness as a “body hack” and elaborate how I read her artwork as a critical commentary on the debate of the transformative potential of VR as “empathy machine.”

To understand the reasons for this, interviews were conducted with Macao college students who watch Korean dramas and those who do not. The study identified four main anticipated factors influencing their decision to watch or not watch Korean dramas: cultural curiosity, drama attractiveness, cultural similarity, and personal preferences. These four main factors affect whether Macao college students watch or not watch Korean dramas, which also has far-reaching significance for further exploring Macao's foreign cultural industry and helping Macao promote cross-cultural exchanges.
Fragmented Life: "Death of the Subject" in Slaughterhouse-Five
Authors: Yu Ziyan
Published: August 2024

Kurt Vonneguts Slaughterhouse-Five is a quintessential American postmodernist novel. Based on Fredric Jamesons postmodern cultural theories, the text will analyze the characteristic of death of the subject. With the development of capitalism, the religion gradually lost its absolute voice in society and was replaced by extreme individualism. However, after the devastation of the two world wars, people finally realized the dangers of individualism, and the status of the subject went into extinction. In the late capitalist society, Billy Pilgrim, the main character, was hard to gain a sense of belonging from the heroism and wealth, and gradually lost the subjectivity captured from the religion. Facing the crisis of death of the subject, Billy had tried to save himself by pastiche, but he failed in the end. By telling Billys personal experience, the novel not only amply demonstrates the spiritual dilemmas prevalent in post-war society but also expresses profound humanistic concern.
