Şeftalide Farklı Dozlarda Putresin Uygulamasının Depolamada Meyve Kalitesi ve Biyokimyasal Bileşikler Üzerine Etkisi
Authors: Küçüker Emine , Ağlar Erdal
Published: April 2024

Klimakterik bir meyve türü olan ve hasattan sonra meyve hızlı bir şekilde bozulan şeftalide raf ömrü kısa ve hasat sonrası kayıplar yüksektir. Bu nedenle şeftalide hasat sonrası kaybı azaltmak ve raf ömrünü uzatmak temel hedeflerden birisidir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda yapılmış çalışmada, 2005 yılında Tokat Merkez Kemalpaşa köyünde şeftali çöğür anacı üzerine aşılı Monreo şeftali çeşidine ait ağaçlar ile kurulmuş bahçeden hasat edilen meyvelere hasat sonrası farklı dozlarda (0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 ve 4.0 mM) uygulanan putresinin depolama süresince meyve kalite özellikleri ve biyokimyasal içerik üzerine etkisi belirlenmiştir. Depolama süresinin uzaması ile birlikte artan ağırlık kaybı ve çürüme oranı putresin uygulanmış meyvelerde daha düşük bulunmuş ve uygulama konsantrasyonuna bağlı olarak değişmiştir. Putresin uygulaması meyvede et sertliğinin korunmasında etkili olmuştur, ancak uygulama konsantrasyonunun etkisi olmamıştır. Depolamada suda çözünür kuru madde miktarında (SÇKM) oranında artış, titreedilebilir asitlik (TA) oranında ise azalma meydana gelmiştir ve SÇKM ve TA oranlarında meydana gelen değişimler putresin uygulaması ile daha düşük bulunmuştur. Genel olarak, organik asitlerin, fenolik bileşikler, flavonoidler gibi polyphenol bileşiklerin konsantrasyonun ve antioxidant kapasitenin muhafaza edilmesinde putresin uygulamasının etkili olmuştur, ancak bu etki konsantrasyona ve bileşiğe bağlı olarak değişmiştir. Çalışma ile putresin uygulamasının şeftalide hasat sonu kalitenin muhafaza edilmesinde kullanılabileceği ortaya konulmuştur.
Internal and external subjects of financial control over the reliability of financial statements
Authors: Naumova E. A.
Published: April 2024

The article substantiates the relevance of research into issues of increasing the reliability of financial reporting. In this regard, the formation of an effective system of financial control over accounting reporting is identified as a primary task. To solve this problem, it is necessary to increase the efficiency of control both in the process of generating reports and subsequent control over already compiled reports. Internal control is provided directly by the accounting service and independent internal controllers, including an internal controller, auditor, and auditor. External control is provided by tax services in the process of forming the state information resource of accounting financial statements and audit companies. The article examines the functions of the main elements of the financial control system for accounting reports and suggests directions for improving the efficiency of their activities. Particular attention is paid to internal control and external audit systems, the functioning of which should be aimed at increasing the reliability of financial reporting in the interests of external users.

Authors: Ananchenkova P. I. , Donskova Yu. I.
Published: April 2024

Currently, many organizations see an urgent need for systematic and targeted development of the skills and abilities of their employees, and are reviewing their training concepts and strategies, since changes in the external and internal organizational environment require adaptation to new processes, procedures, technologies and systems. Commercial banks are no exception to this rule. International studies reflecting the practice of personnel policy and human resource management in the largest banks in the world, such as JP Morgan, Bank of America, Citigroup, KCB, Equity, Pan–African Bank, Bank of Africa, etc., show that corporate training is highly appreciated by employees, is perceived as a mechanism of motivation and employee loyalty, helps reduce turnover personnel and increase the productivity of their work. Thus, personnel development through corporate training programs becomes a necessary and integral part of the personnel policy of modern companies in the banking sector, integrated into the strategy of corporate training and personnel policy in the unity of strategic goals and objectives of general management.
Proactivity and networking as modern forms of social capital realization
Authors: Glukhova M. I.
Published: April 2024

The essence of social capital in modern conditions is manifested in new forms of realization, such as the proactivity of individuals and networking. These forms are at the same time catalysts for the process of accumulation of social capital, which necessitates their study. The accumulation and multiplication of social capital is impossible without a systematic study of such forms as networking and proactivity, which is just beginning today. The increase of macrosocial capital is possible through the development of forms of individual (microsocial) capital. The subject of the research in the article is the processes of formation and functioning proactivity and networking, their specifics in Russia. The research results are to identify new forms of social capital that have manifested themselves in the 21st century and to identify a new function of these forms — the function of a catalyst for the accumulation of social capital.
Russian Scientific Diaspora in Germany in 1990s-2010s: Formation Paths and Development Features
Authors: Buslaev G. N. , Nemudrov K. A.
Published: April 2024

This article examines the process of formation and transformations of the Russian scientific diaspora in Germany in the 1990s-2010s. It raises questions about the reasons and paths of creating a large community of scientific workers and researchers who moved from Russia to Germany. An approximate estimate of the number of members of the group under study at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries is provided. Special attention is paid to the analysis of forms and types of association among Russian compatriot scientists in Germany. Sources include data from Russian and German state statistical agencies, documents from the German Academic Exchange Service, a transcript of the German government’s report to the Bundestag, and others. An overview of the tools used by the German authorities to attract scientific personnel from Russia in the 1990s-2010s is conducted. The policy of Russian authorities regarding interaction with the scientific diaspora during the period under review is analyzed. It is shown how Moscow increased contacts with the scientific diaspora in Germany in the early 2010s amid intensified competition for highly qualified personnel. It is noted that although these initiatives contributed to the development of new formats of cooperation between scientists of Russian origin in Germany and Russian scientific institutions, they were later suspended and did not lead to a systemic activation of interaction.
“Loneliness of Catalonia”: Separatism in Catalan-speaking Regions in Spain in 21st Century
Authors: Nesterova T. P. , Ushakov D. V.
Published: April 2024

The article analyzes the historical, ethno-social, economic, and political reasons for the formation of separatist tendencies in regions where the Catalan language is spoken in Spain: Catalonia, Valencia, and the Balearic Islands. It is commonly believed that these regions share many similarities, yet in practice only Catalonia seeks independence. The study investigates why separatist tendencies are prominently displayed in only one of the Catalan-speaking regions. The research is based on historical facts, scholarly works dedicated to separatism in Catalan-speaking regions, statistical data on the economies of the regions and election results, and news reports. The conclusion drawn from the study is that the Catalan-speaking regions have many distinct characteristics: they have different histories tied to their past status as regions; different self-perceptions within Spain and globally, varying economic conditions, and consequently different political tendencies. It is proven that due to historical, ethno-social, economic, and political reasons, Valencia and the Balearic Islands have no intention of separating from Spain, leaving Catalonia alone in its quest for independence.

Authors: Wakhidah Nur , Rochmah Shafira Nur
Published: April 2024

Milk is a product that is often consumed because it has many good benefits for the body. One of the benefits of milk is that it contains calcium, which is useful for the growth of bones and teeth. However, many consumers still choose dairy products based only on their appearance, even though milk quality is not based on its appearance but is found during milk processing. Pasteurization is the process of heating whole milk at a specific temperature and for a certain period to increase the milk's shelf life and maintain the milk's quality. Two types of pasteurization processes are Long Temperature Long Time and High Temperature Short Time. k-Nearest Neighbor or k-NN is a data mining method used to classify objects from the data, using distance calculations or Euclidean Distance to look for similarities between neighbors. So, based on this problem, milk quality classification is carried out. The research was carried out by classifying milk quality using the K-NN method. The public data used to classify is 1,059 pasteurized milk data, with seven regular or ordinary attributes and one special or class attribute. The K values ​​that will be used in this research are k=3, k=5, and k=7. From the analysis of calculation results using the k-NN method, the accuracy values ​​obtained are k=3 is 97%, k=5 is 89%, and k=7 is 87%.
The Role of Women in East Kalimantan's Economic Growth
Authors: Purba Samuel Fery
Published: April 2024

Gender equality is essential because it indicates justice and equality for men and women with the same rights, obligations, and opportunities, resulting in economic growth in the region and country. This study aims to analyze the effects of women's roles: the gender development index (GDI), the gender empowerment index (GEI), the percentage of women as professionals (PWP), the mean years of schooling for women (MYSW), and the women's life expectancy (WLE), on economic growth in East Kalimantan. This study used secondary data from Statistics of East Kalimantan Province (BPS). This data was analyzed using panel data regression covering from 2017 to 2021 from 10 cities/regencies in East Kalimantan. The findings indicate that GEI significantly influences economic growth in East Kalimantan, whereas GDI, PWP, MYSW, and WLE do not significantly affect economic growth. This lack of impact can be attributed to women's limited involvement and participation in various sectors, including economics, education, and health. Consequently, programs aimed at enhancing GDI, PWP, MYSW, and WLE have not translated into tangible economic growth in East Kalimantan. To address this, local governments and stakeholders in East Kalimantan must increase women's participation in political spheres such as parliament and higher education, ensure access to healthcare, and fortify regulations and institutions promoting women's rights, fostering regional economic growth
Time-frequency nexus between remittances, exchange rates, and growth in Vietnam
Authors: Tran Hung Van
Published: April 2024

The significance of remittances to the Vietnamese economy necessitates investigating how they affect the value of the Vietnamese currency and other macroeconomic factors. Macroeconomic articles struggle to discover their impact on economic development, but measured remittances by migrant workers have recently soared. There is no academic study that has examined this phenomenon in Vietnam. This study uses wavelet frameworks to analyze the lead-lag nexus between exchange rates, remittances, and economic growth in Vietnam in time-frequency domains from 1995 to 2020. Overall, we find that: (i) remittances enhance economic growth in the short and medium run; (ii) exchange rates boost remittances in the short and medium run; (iii) exchange rates promote GDP in all frequency and time domains. Moreover, the partial wavelet coherence and multiple wavelet coherence frameworks also offered evidence supporting the wavelet coherence approach. More importantly, the outcomes of wavelet-based Granger causality unveil that there is two-way causality between the selected indicators, which means that all the indicators can predict each other at different frequencies. Our empirical results provide meaningful information for market participants and policymakers.

Names of Plant Taxa Introduced by Raimonds Cinovskis (1930–1998)
Authors: Stalažs Arturs
Published: April 2024

Raimonds Cinovskis (1930–1998) devoted his entire life to plants, especially to the research of dendroflora in Latvia, as well as in the Baltic states in general, and he also participated in botanical expeditions in several places in Asia. He introduced many new names of plant taxa, described new taxa, and made new name combinations. Although the plant names he created are widely used by Latvian botanists and can also be found in the seed exchange catalogues issued by local botanic gardens, these names have never been (with some exceptions) evaluated before. This paper summarises all of the names of plant taxa introduced by R. Cinovskis. It was established that R. Cinovskis introduced more than 200 new names of plant taxa or new name combinations for plants belonging to 11 plant families — Betulaceae, Caprifoliaceae, Cupressaceae, Grossulariaceae, Juglandaceae, Pinaceae, Ranunculaceae, Rosaceae, Salicaceae, Sapindaceae, and Ulmaceae. The majority of the names of plant taxa were for plants of the rose family (Rosaceae). Critically evaluating the compliance of the names introduced by R. Cinovskis with the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, it was concluded that the majority of the names were published illegitimately.

Before and After For Your Eyes Only: Permanently Reinventing the "Bond Girl" Formula
Authors: Weathers Shane H.
Published: April 2024

In the early years of the James Bond franchise, female characters that bucked the “Bond Girl” stereotype of a ditzy, dependent-upon-Bond young woman were few and far between. This changed in 1981, with the release of For Your Eyes Only, a film, which this article will show, permanently altered the “Bond Girl” formula through its four female characters. Tracy di Vincenzo (Diana Rigg), Bond’s deceased wife, is the center of the film’s cold open through Bond’s visit to her gravesite, highlighting her narrative and emotional significance to Bond. Melina Havelock (Carole Bouquet) is a fully competent woman on a revenge mission following the death of her parents, who saves Bond on multiple occasions. Bibi Dahl (Lynn-Holly Johnson) is a Lolita-like figure that Bond rejects, highlighting for the first time that he has scruples in regard to his choice of women. Countess Lisl von Schlaf (Cassandra Harris) is shown having an intimate and emotional relationship with Bond, seen through Bond’s choice to hold her hand, stay with her long after intercourse, and mourn her following her death. Using close textual analysis, this article demonstrates how these women (and For Your Eyes Only in general) upended the “Bond Girl” formula and pinpoints this film as an integral installment and turning point for the representation of women in this iconic franchise, for the 1980s and beyond.

Published: April 2024

Paclobutrazol (PBZ) is a growth regulator that widely used in horticulture and in the tomato seedling growth to compact the shoots, increase the stem diameter and, root biomass, allowing more tolerance of the seedlings against adverse weather conditions. The objective of this work was to evaluate the rates of paclobutrazol (0, 4, 7, 10 and 13 mg L-1) applied 15 days after sowing by foliar spray on the growth, chemical composition and xylem vessel number of tomato seedlings cultivated in two periods. The PBZ regardless of the application rate reduced the height of tomato seedlings in both growth periods. The basal stem diameter and leaf area were increased with 13 mg L-1 of PBZ. The lignin percentage also increased with 10 and 13 mg L-1 of PBZ as compared to control for both periods. The number of xylem vessel was not affected by PBZ application on the seedlings in the first period. PBZ application at rates of 7 and 10 mg L-1 increased the xylem vessel number in the second period. In general, the application of 13 mg L-1 of PBZ generated seedling more robust to overcome climate adversities.

“Just Do It!” - Celebrating Plurilingual Writing in an Undergraduate Writing Contest
Authors: Lane Julia , Chan Hermine
Published: April 2024

The Simon Fraser University Student Learning Commons holds an annual interdisciplinary, under-graduate writing contest. The writing contest provides an exciting opportunity to chal-lenge deficit frameworks within writing and academic success centres. Through the contest, the writing centre is empowered to actively seek out and showcase excellence in under-graduate writing. Throughout the five years of the contest, the organizers have tweaked the contest’s submission categories to reflect the needs and interests shared by students and faculty member, to ensure that thecontest supports the centre’s larger goals. This paper des-cribes the creation of the contest’s Plurilingual Prize category, emphasizing the ways that this prize advances the writing centre’s commitment to both linguistic diversity and linguistic justice. The paper also provides context for the decision to use the term plurilingual to describe this contest category, as opposed to other terms used in writing centre discussions, such as English Language Learner (ELL), English as an Additional Language (EAL), English as a Second Language (ESL), and multilingual learners.
A Small Silver Lining
Authors: Kaler Michael , Vroom Jonathan
Published: April 2024

In this article, we discuss a writing support strategy called Writing Office Hours (WOHs), which has been one of the offerings provided by the Robert Gillespie Academic Skills Centre (RGASC) at the University of Toronto Mississauga since the beginning of the COVID 19 pandemic in March 2020. WOHs evolved out of an earlier approach to course support known as Dedicated Drop-ins (DDIs), which were were made impossible due to the pandemic. In this article, we argue that these WOHs have had enthusiastic uptake by students (at least in part) because they help to break down some of the barriers—physical, logistical, psychological, and/or cultural—that can dissuade students from seeking out writing support. It is widely recognized that students do not always see writing centres as safe and welcoming spaces (e.g., Bond, 2019; Denny, 2010; Grutsch McKinney, 2013; Pregent, Williams, Marcyk, & Haywood, 2021). As we discuss below, because WOHs take writing support out of the centre and into students’ course shells, through its learning management system (LMS) (e.g., Brightspace), they help us reach students who might not (yet) see the writing centre as the “cozy” (Grutsch McKinney, 2013) place that we as writing centre faculty would like it to be.
Immunohistochemical evaluation of cellular activities in canine osteoblastic osteosarcoma

Osteosarcoma is the most frequently occurring malignant bone tumor in animals and humans. A better understanding of the etiopathogenetic mechanisms of osteosarcoma, especially biomolecular ones, is fundamental to improving diagnosis and prognosis of the disease. Autophagy is a self-degrative process that removes dysfunctional cellular components, eliminates intracellular pathogens, and promotes cellular senescence. In neoplastic cells, autophagy suppresses tumorigenesis by inhibiting cancer cell survival mechanisms and promoting cell death. The aim of this study was to use immunohistochemistry to identify alterations in the expression of several apoptotic and proliferative biomarkers in multiple cases of canine osteosarcoma. Bcl-2, an intracellular membrane protein, inhibits cell death by blocking the p53-mediated pathway of apoptosis. While Bcl-2 overexpression has been described in many different premalignant and malignant lesions, it has yet to be analyzed in canine osteosarcoma. Our group investigated 10 primary canine osteoblastic osteosarcoma cases from the University of Perugia Department of Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital. Immunohistochemical analyses of proteins Bcl-2, Ki-67, and p53 have revealed interesting results as described in this paper. Expression of Bcl-2 was increased in all cases investigated while expression of p53 and Ki-67 was variable and no statistical association was observed between the expression patterns of p53, Bcl-2 and Ki-67.

This research intended to discover the significance of miR-138 on the espression profile, proliferation, and the associated regulatory mechanisms in prostate cancer (PCa). RT-qPCR was applied to compare the expression of miR-138 in the PCa cells with a non-cancer cell line, as well as PCa tissue samples with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) samples. The expression of miR-138 notably diminished in PCa tissues and cell lines. Afterward, formerly documented genes, along with bioinformatics analysis, suggested seven possible target genes of miR-138. Among them, CCND1 seemed to have higher expression in the PCa cell lines and tissues. Also, the negative correlation of miR-138 and CCND1 in PCa cell line and tissues was validated using Pearson correlation. CCDN1 was revealed to be the target gene of miR138 in the PC3 cell line based on the results of the luciferase reporter gene assay. Over-expression of miR138-5p suppressed the expression of CCDN1 in PCa cell lines as exhibited by RT-qPCR. Finally, the results of the MTT assay exhibited the inhibitory impact of miR-138 on the proliferative capacities in PCa cell lines. Our research introduces miR-138 as a negative regulator of CCDN1 in the progression of PCa with an inhibitory impact on the proliferation rate of prostate cancer (PCa) cell lines.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a hematological malignancy characterized by the presence of BCR-ABL+ and Ph+. According to recent studies, CML occurence and evolution are influenced by a series of risk factors, including viruses. Multiple studies suggested that Torque teno viruses (TTVs) could modulate the treatment response and the evolution of hematological diseases. This study focuses on identifying the prevalence and clinical significance of TTVs in CML patients. The main aim was to determine if TTVs presence can be correlated with the onset of disease. We performed a retrospective study (2018-2022) that included 72 blood samples from patients diagnosed with CML. All the 3 anelloviruses were detected using hemi-nested PCR. The overall frequency of TTVs in blood samples was 93%. In our study group, most patients were carriers for the Torque teno virus (TTV), Torque teno midi virus (TTMDV) and Torque teno mini virus (TTMV) in 88%, 57% and 63% of samples. The largest group of carriers was represented by patients with all 3 anelloviruses (51,38%), followed by TTV (22,22%). In our study group represented by CML patients at diagnosis, the prevalence of TTVs is correlated with the molecular load of BCR-ABL. Further research and follow-up of patients with TTV are needed in the future, as well as the identification of new factors that can help to personalize treatment.

The human microbiome represents the entire genome assembly of microorganisms colonizing the human body and comprises more than three million genes that encode thousands of metabolites, which cover several functions essential for the host health condition. Anatomical sites colonized by microorganisms include the skin, gastrointestinal, respiratory, urogenital, and reproductive tract, establishing commensal, mutual, or pathogenic relationships with the organism. The human microbiota is considered a dense ‘organ’ with multiple roles in nutrition, gastrointestinal tract development, and innate immunity training. Depending on the genetic predisposition, type of diet, health status, and lifestyle, this ‘organ’ seems to have a specific unique signature, maintained quasi-stable, establishing symbiotic relationships with the host organism. The disruption of the dynamic balance is established between the human body and its microbiota leads to dysbiosis, which in its turn, could be the origin of a comprehensive spectrum of diseases, ranging from inflammatory, infectious, and cardiovascular diseases to cancer. In this review, we will present several types of malignancies (e.g., head and neck cancers, esophageal, colorectal, cervical, lung, bladder, and skin cancers) and the appearance of the resistance to antitumor therapies. In this minireview we present some insights regarding the implication of human microbiota in non-sterile cavities cancers.

No último dia 16 de abril de 2024, em votação no Senado Federal, foi aprovada em segunda instância por 52 votos a 9, a PEC Nº45/2023 que criminaliza a posse e o porte de qualquer quantidade de substância ilícita no país. A Associação Brasileira de Psiquiatria, através de seus representantes, foi uma grande propulsora deste projeto de lei, apresentando dados científicos realizados pela revista The Lancet que apontam que países que tiveram esta liberação viram o número de usuários aumentar exponencialmente. Esta liberação seria devastadora e traria danos irreversíveis para o nosso país. Para falar sobre este assunto e o quanto ele afeta a saúde mental da população brasileira, o ABP TV desta terça-feira, dia 23 de abril de 2024, recebe alguns dos psiquiatras presentes nas sessões realizadas no Plenário do Senado Federal que debateram o assunto.
PERANCANGAN CARDGAME LAGU DAERAH SUMATRA UTARA SEBAGAI MEDIA EDUKASI BAGI ANAK BERUSIA 12-15 TAHUN

Indonesia is consisting of 34 provinces with their own customs and folk songs. North Sumatra is one of the provinces with diverse and meaningful folk songs. Today, the influence of modern music has begun to shift the position of folk music, whereas folk songs are a national culture that can significantly foster a sense of patriotism in the younger generation of Indonesia and have moral values that need to be passed on to the younger generation. As an education media, card games can be the problem solver considering that card games are more fun, and able to stimulate children to unconsciously learn. The design is carried out through several stages, including the data collection through distributing questionnaires to the target market, conducting existing and comparative studies of other education media, literature studies through books and journals, interviews with experts, experimental research, and playtesting on the target segment, namely students aged 12-15 years old. The result of this design is a set of card game to introduce North Sumatra folk song with mechanics that are: set collecting, hand management, card drafting and singing. Two to four players engaged in the gameplay lasting 20-40 minutes long. The game has two card categories with the mission of collecting and sorting song cards according to the objective. Through one to three games, players gain experience and are able to remember 1 to 3 titles of North Sumatra folk songs.

Policrisis y metamorfosis del capitalismo turístico
Authors:   Manchester Metropolitan University (Reino Unido), Bianchi Raoul , Milano Claudio ,   Universidad de Barcelona (España)
Published: April 2024

While the disruption caused by the pandemic has receded, tourism capitalism continues to be im‐ bricated in multiple and intersecting crises. This paper argues that the roots of such crises and the manner of their unfolding do not merely ‘impact’ tourism but have been incubated within and shaped by the structur‐ al dynamics of tourism capital accumulation itself. This paper draws on a historical materialist epistemology and critical theorization of capitalism to challenge orthodox framings of tourism crises and their deep‐rooted structural drivers. Finally, the paper reflects on the nature of crises in relation to the mutations of Spanish tourism capitalism and the continual efforts to resolve the crisis‐prone nature of tourism.

The covid‐19 pandemic has driven digitalization and the need for updates in various sectors to maintain their competitiveness. This study focuses on the interaction between tourism, neurocommunication, and sustainability, and their influence on Spain’s image abroad. Spain is analyzed as an entity that combines economic, social, cultural, and technological aspects, with a particular emphasis on tourism. Through a detailed compilation and analysis of literature in Social Sciences, Tourism, Sustainability, and Neuroscience, the study aims to understand how tourist communication affects tourists’ perceptions and decisions, contributing to social progress. Using specific descriptors to select academic sources, a data corpus is formed that supports the conclusions: tourism remains a key economic pillar for Spain, affected by seasonality but with growth potential through sustainable marketing and communication strategies based on neurocommunicative techniques.
Smart destination cards as big data generators. A proposal for a checklist and its application to Trentino Guest Card
Authors:   University of Brescia (Estados Unidos), Dalle Nogare Chiara , Scuderi Raffaele ,   Università degli Studi di Enna “Kore” (Italia)
Published: April 2024

Quality data on tourist behaviour is essential for destination management organisations, the promoters of smart destination cards (SDC). The different configurations of SDC stem from the relative importance attributed to their goals and entail different levels of quality of the data they collect. SDC are not only big data generators, but also marketing tools and the outcome of the cooperative games between the included attractions, with a trade‐off between these features. Consequently, strong sample selection, price distortion effects, and collection of limited personal details on card users often characterize SDC data. We propose a checklist for assessing the potential of SDC as big data generators, whose items are: large coverage of diverse attractions; same discount for all included attractions; low card price; stability of features over time; collection of personal data at issue. We exemplify its use by applying it to the SDC of Trentino, an Italian mountain destination.
