INTRODUCTION:

The global needs for a reduction in radiation exposure (RE) are increasing. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a significant fluoroscopic procedure in the gastrointestinal field. However, the actual RE in ERCP and its annual trend are still unclear. Therefore, we examined the yearly trend of RE in ERCP.

METHODS:

This retrospective, single-center cohort study included consecutive cases of ERCP from September 2012 to June 2019. We measured the air kerma (AK, mGy), dose area product (DAP, Gycm2), and fluoroscopy time (FT, min). We also evaluated the annual trend of the RE before and after the fluoroscopy device update.

RESULTS:

In total, 2,174 patients receiving ERCP were enrolled. Among these, the mean age was 74.3 years, and 913 patients were women (42.0%). The median/third quartile values of AK (mGy), DAP (Gycm2), and FT (min) were 109/234 mGy, 13.3/25.8 Gycm2, and 18.2/27.7 minutes. The annual AK, DAP, and FT from 2012 to 2019 were 138, 207, 173, 177, 106, 71.0, 45.0, and 33.3 mGy; 23, 21.4, 19, 18.3, 11.9, 9.0, 6.8, and 6.4 Gycm2; and 12.5, 12.1, 9.7, 9.8, 8.2, 10.8, 9.4, and 10.3 minutes, respectively. The corresponding values before and after the update in July 2016 were 177 and 52 mGy (P < 0.0001), 19.2 and 7.6 Gycm2 (P < 0.0001), and 10.2, and 9.9 minutes (P = 0.05), respectively.

DISCUSSION:

The RE from ERCP tended to decrease every year, especially after fluoroscopy device updates.

A city that does not have a bright tourism brand needs to take special approaches to planning and implementing a tourism strategy. Such a strategy should be an integral part of the overall city development strategy, consider the interests of all stakeholders, have its own vision, scenarios, projects. An intercultural approach from "history to the present", emphasis on different target groups, active partnership with business and community are the basis for formulating an effective city development strategy. The author considers an example of strategy development for Vinnytsia using strategic, project and operational management methods and tools. The directions of analysis and development from vision to real scenarios and vice versa from scenarios to strategic map of development allow to form a real strategy of tourism development. In each direction the main functions of management are considered: planning, motivation, organization, control. The analysis of the overall strategy of the city development revealed the direct and indirect strategic projects that influence the development of tourism. W. Disney's (improved by R. Dilts) technique was used to form a vision for tourism development in the city. The main modern slogan of the development strategy of the Vinnytsia city - "City of ideas" - for tourism strategy has been transformed into the slogans "Tourist city of ideas" and "City of tourist ideas". Each of the directions of the overall city strategy is adapted to aspects of tourism development. Analysis of tourism development strategies of such cities as Zaporizhzhia, Mukachevo, Khmilnyk; a review of scientific articles on tourism strategy development has allowed us to draw on a general outline for strategy development and generate a strategic map using Google software. The analysis of the results of the activities of the the City Marketing and Tourism Department for 7 months revealed some duplications and mistakes in the formation of development goals, lack of differentiation of directions and development of partnership. The author offers rough drafts of vision, mission. In addition, recommendations were made for the City Marketing and Tourism Department. The author proposes to adapt the technology of detailing each of the directions of tourism development in the city and to position each specialist in the strategy map. The result of the research is the proposed methods and draft essays for the formation of tourism development strategy in Vinnytsia.

Published: September 2020

One of the world tourism destinations recognized as Unesco Global Geopark in Bali is Kabupaten Bangli. The main attraction of agriculture in Kabupaten Bangli is Kintamani coffee agrotourism with a beautiful panoramic view of coffee, safe tracking routes for tourists, strategic location, and producing special Arabica Coffee products making Bangli an agricultural tourism destination worth visiting.

The purpose of this study is to look at leveraging factors and assess the status of agro-tourism sustainability in terms of four dimensions of sustainability, namely the economic, socio-cultural, environmental and institutional dimensions for the development of Arabica coffee agro-tourism.

The results of the evaluation of the 4 dimensions of sustainability indicate that the environmental dimension gets the lowest value. This is because environmental conditions are very vulnerable to land conversion in the future. If agro-tourism cannot provide benefits and economic improvement for the surrounding community, farmers will divert coffee plants to other plants that are more economically profitable. A regulation or local government policy needs to be made in preventing land conversion in the Arabica coffee agro tourism area of Kabupaten Bangli.

A Study on the Role of Tourism in Destination’s Disaster and Resilience Management
Authors: NAIR Bipithalal Balakrishnan , DILEEP M.R
Published: September 2020

Tourism is one of the most sensitive and vulnerable sectors to a disaster. On the one hand, the industry is susceptible to these unprecedented adversities and is a sufferer. On the other hand, tourism significantly contributes to and performs central roles in crisis management and a destination’s resilience. Comparatively, the latter topic remains under-researched and fewer studies were focused on the part of tourism as a benefactor. However, due to the intricacy and scope of a global crisis, as an accountable service business, it is significant to understand in what ways tourism benefits a (developing) destination throughout various phases of the crisis. Therefore, this study attempts to understand the crucial role of tourism in the case of the catastrophic flood that occurred in Kerala, India, by adopting the crisis management model proposed by Faulkner. The study findings underline the pivotal role of the tourism industry in rescue, restoration, information & communication, and resilience strategy. Furthermore, the study comes up with several unanticipated yet vital insights about the importance of corporate social responsibility for tourism industries, the inevitable role of tourism stakeholders in disaster management strategies, and the importance of adopting appropriate post-disaster marketing plans to support the rebuilding of the destination.

Published: September 2020

Due to synergy effects from transnationalization, corporation gets its own set of global competitive advantages which can be called using the prefix hyper- (which means, first of all, the global measure of these competitive advantages, that is, company’s capacity to make use of them at any regional or world market; secondly, massive opportunities which these advantages provide for company’s strategic and tactical activities; and thirdly, low probability that any small or mid-sized company would be able to get same or similar competitive advantages). Therefore, economic efficiency of any transnational corporation operating in the tourism sector can be viewed from the standpoint of 6H model. To these 6Hs belong: hyper-profit, hyper-competitiveness, hyper-presence, hyper-positioning, hyper-mobility and hyper-prospective. The article will consider all these hyper-advantages of TNCs along with the sources of their origin.

Consumption of Impressions: A New Approach to the Formation of Tourist Attractiveness of Russian Territories
Authors: FROLOVA Elena V. , ROGACH Olga V. , RYABOVA Tatyana M. , MEDVEDEVA Natalia V.
Published: September 2020

The article attaches the results of the study of the processes of formation of the tourist attractiveness of the Russian territories in the focus of studying the specificity of the consumption of tourist impressions. The leading survey method was a questionnaire survey of residents of Moscow and the Moscow region (N = 537 people). A modern tourist, distinguished by high speed of movement, the desire to cover the maximum number of sightseeing points that are required for viewing, more and more often forms his perception of the tourist attractiveness of the territories through the consumption of impressions: the life of others, traditions, culture, places and archetypes. The authors consider new trends in the development of the tourism industry, the transformation of patterns of tourist behavior. The key components of the consumption of impressions have been identified, namely: visualization and the possibility of replicating impressions, the acquisition of sensory experience by the tourist, involvement in tourist practices, the uniqueness and authenticity of the tourist product. Among the respondents satisfied with the possibility of photographing tourist attractions, a higher proportion of respondents who received a positive impression of the trip was recorded. The fixation of impressions is considered by most tourists as an opportunity for self-presentation of personal achievements. The importance of visualization of impressions actualizes such practices of forming the tourist attractiveness of Russian territories, such as organizing green pedestrian zones, marking tourist routes with photo and video points, embedding the natural landscape in urban space. The study found that the formation of tourist attractiveness of the territories is centered not so much around meeting the cultural and educational needs of the tourist as around wanting to get aesthetic satisfaction from the trip, emotional involvement in the contemplation of tourist attraction objects, the possibility of replicating their impressions in social networks. A new trend in shaping the tourist attractiveness of Russian territories is becoming an orientation towards receiving unique tourist services and exclusive impressions (gastronomic experience, interactive forms of leisure). The study showed that traditional dysfunctions in terms of the development of domestic tourism (typical appearance of cities, unification of the range of tourist services, low level of infrastructure support) can be compensated by implementing flagship projects for getting impressions, creating unique tourist destinations, promoting them in social networks, developing interactive travel practices, the development of exclusive and authentic tourist products.

Excepcionalidad meritocrática y política de acción afirmativa en la educación superior en Chile
Authors: Briones Jocelyn , Leyton Daniel
Published: September 2020

A partir de nociones Foucaultianas como discurso, régimen de subjetivación y gubernamentalidad, analizamos uno de los discursos dominantes que constituye la política de acción afirmativa en la educación superior en Chile. Nuestro análisis se basa principalmente en documentos vinculados a la formación discursiva del programa PACE [Programa de Acompañamiento y Acceso Efectivo a la Educación Superior]; principal política de acción afirmativa en dicho país. Planteamos que dicho programa despliega un régimen de subjetivación de excepcionalidad meritocrática como modo de gobierno de la inclusión y el derecho a la ES a través de una cadena discursiva que articula selectividad, excelencia, calidad, talento, sacrificio, responsabilización y crítica de la política de admisión. Dicha articulación se inscribe y es movilizada en los discursos sobre estudiantes de clases trabajadoras, sus familias, escuelas, y las universidades, posibilitando, por un lado, la legitimidad tanto del programa como de sus estudiantes en tanto sujetos con derecho a la ES, y por otro lado, la cancelación e invisibilización estratégica de las estructuras de desigualdad que mantienen a la mayoría de los y las estudiantes de clases trabajadoras y sus saberes fuera de la ES.

Authors: Baker Bruce D. , Srikanth Ajay , Green III Preston C. , Cotto Robert
Published: September 2020

This article provides a systematic decomposition of disparities in school funding by race and ethnicity using two new data resources. First, we use a national district level panel of data from the School Finance Indicators Database to evaluate recent (2012 – 2017) disparities in school revenue and spending by race in addition to poverty, across and within all states and within selected states. Next, we use data from the National Education Cost Model (NECM) to evaluate disparities in spending against estimates of “costs” of achieving national average student outcomes to determine racial differences in gaps between current spending and costs of equitable outcomes. As Latinx shares increase, per pupil spending and revenue decrease, respectively by about 4% to 7% for districts that are approximately 100% Latinx compared to those that have few or no Latinx students, controlling for poverty. More striking, when controlling for poverty, a district that is 100% Latinx is nearly 2.5 times as likely as a district that is 0% Latinx to be financially disadvantaged (have revenue <90% of labor market average, and poverty greater than 120%), when controlling for poverty and 28.5 times as likely when not controlling for poverty. Finally, spending is less adequate to achieve national average outcomes, across states, in districts serving larger shares of Latinx students.

Este comentario al trabajo “Excepcionalidad meritocrática y política de acción afirmativa en la educación superior en Chile” lo hemos escrito con el objetivo de complementarlo con antecedentes y puntos de vista de personas que llevamos 30 años remado contra la corriente, en pro del acceso de estudiantes que durante la educación media  aprovecharon al máximo las oportunidades que encontraron en sus contextos socio educativos, pero que los muros  de las universidades “selectivas” les cierran la puertas. Esperamos, con esperanza, que los puntos de vista de los autores del trabajo más los nuestros sean un aporte al desmantelamiento de la actual segregación social de nuestro país, que tanta violencia estructural genera.

The development of industrial and tourism areas brings the consequences of the arrangement of transportation routes. As an industrial area as well as lurik tourism, Klaten District becomes the research location with the aim to know the mapping of access and integration of industrial transportation and lurik tourism route in order to optimize production and sales. The method employed in this research was digital mapping through GIS, and super impos analysis of mapping results to get integrated integration. The results reveal that transportation routes naturally form a pattern of industrial circulation with the orientation of efficiency and independence of distribution and sales of lurik products. Meanwhile the pattern of tourism circulation is formed with the orientation of interconnection between industry and tourism support facilities. The established integration can be optimized through the implementation of thematic tourism concepts by integrating smoothness, security, and easy access point between industries and lurik tourism.

Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) causes ecological and economic problems because it grows very fast and quickly consumes nutrients and oxygen in water bodies, affecting both the flora and fauna; besides, it can form blockages in the waterways, hindering fishing and boat use. However, this plant contains bioactive compounds that can be used to produce biofuels. This study investigated the effect of various substrates as feedstock for biogas production. A 125-l plug-flow anaerobic digester was utilized and the hydraulic retention time was 14 days; cow dung was inoculated into water hyacinth at a 2:1 mass ratio over 7 days. The maximum biogas yield, achieved using a mixture of natural water hyacinth and water (NWH-W), was 0.398 l/g volatile solids (VS). The cow dung/water (CD-W), hydrothermally pretreated water hyacinth/digestate, and hydrothermally pretreated water hyacinth/water (TWH-W) mixtures reached biogas yields of 0.239, 0.2198, and 0.115 l/g VS, respectively. The NWH-W composition was 70.57% CH4, 12.26% CO2, 1.32% H2S, and 0.65% NH3. The modified Gompertz kinetic model provided data satisfactorily compatible with the experimental one to determine the biogas production from various substrates. TWH-W and NWH-W achieved, respectively, the shortest and (6.561 days) and the longest (7.281 days) lag phase, the lowest (0.133 (l/g VS)/day) and the highest (0.446 (l/g VS)/day) biogas production rate, and the maximum and (15.719 l/g VS) and minimum (4.454 l/g VS) biogas yield potential.

Pencegahan dan penanggulangan medication error perlu dilakukan untuk menurunkan insiden terutama KTD dan mengoreksi sistem dalam rangka meningkatkan keselamatan pasien . Di RSI NU Demak pada 5 tahun terakhir  2012-2016 masih ditemukan medication error . Oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan penelitian peran dokter dalam pencegahan dan penanggulangan medication error di RSI NU Demak. Desain penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif analitik dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Subjek penelitian secara purposive sebagai informan utama 5 dokter yang memberikan pelayanan di RSI NU Demak, informan triangulasi 2 apoteker, 2 perawat dan 2 keluarga pasien. Data dikumpulkan dengan teknik wawancara mendalam, focus group discussion dan observasi. Pengolahan dan analisis data menggunakan analisis isi.       Hasil survei dari 100 lembar resep didapatkan hasil:  penulisan resep yang sulit terbaca ada 14 lembar resep (14%), dosis kurang tepat ada 75 lembar resep (75%),  polifarmasi) ada 55 lembar resep (55%) , interaksi minor ada 28 lembar resep (28%), dan interaksi mayor ada 1 lembar resep (1%). Hal tersebut dilatarbelakangi oleh :1) Predisposisi factor dari aspek pengetahuan terutama interaksi obat masih ada dokter yang kurang memahaminya, aspek beban kerja era BPJS pasiennya semakin banyak tenaga terbatas; 2) Enabling factor ; komitmen dan ketrampilan dalam pencegahan dan penanggulangan medication error masih kurang 3) Reinforcing factor dari aspek managemen RS perencanaan program belum dilakukan sesuai pedoman, sosialisasi SPO terkait kelengkapan administratif resep, HAM, Polifarmasi dan interaksi obat kepada semua dokter, apoteker dan perawat belum dilakukan sesuai pedoman, pelaksanaan  monev terhadap indikator mutu patieny safety ( medication error) belum dilakukan sesuai pedoman.        Disarankan untuk advokasi dan sosialisasi kepada pengambil kebijakan diikuti deklarasi komitmen bersama dari pihak managemen, dokter, apoteker, perawat untuk mensukseskan program patient safety, pelaksanaan program patient safety dilakukan dengan system pencacatan dan pelaporan,monitoring dan evaluasi agar dapat dilaksanakan sesuai pedoman.
