Empirical studies find that services affect tourist satisfaction. There are involvement of several aspects in the service including physical quality and staff behavior (Ekinci et al., 2008). Services that have a high level of contact with customers require interaction between service providers and customers which are the determinants to satisfaction. Local wisdom should be reflected in all aspects of service at the hotel, including the use of English.Teaching English in hospitality institutions applies ESP (English for Specific Purposes) learning patterns. English in the Food and Beverage service for example,  is adjusted to the sequence of service. The language function, will follow the service sequence in the restaurant environment.

Race to the Pole: Matthew Henson, Arctic Explorer
Authors: Junker Clara
Published: December 2022

In his memoir, A Negro Explorer at the North Pole (1912), Matthew Henson describes the toll of his and Peary’s race to the Pole. This record of the 1908-09 Arctic expedition complicates established understandings of the “Dash to the Pole” and his own role as Peary’s assistant. Donald B. Macmillan declared in How Peary Reached the Pole: The Personal Story of His Assistant (2008) that Peary could not have done it without Henson (275), whose text uncovers an accomplished writer and explorer at work. The complicated character of Robert E. Peary figures prominently in his pages, though in a less independent version than in other accounts. Henson details the highly skilled labor he performs in the Arctic, and his own personality and perceptions. He shares, to a degree, the value systems of his Commander and the white members of the expedition, including the emphasis on heroic masculinity. But he also inscribes his racial heritage into his memoir, and his close, if complex, relation to the Inughuit. The result of intricate balancing acts, Henson’s silences echo in his text, revealing what could not be articulated by an African American member of Peary’s legendary expeditions. Henson’s contemporaries paid little attention to his accomplishments, since white American and European explorers dominated the field of Arctic travel, but his contribution received more attention as the 20th Century progressed. His experience suggests the costs and the crises—personal, national, and international—of a contested icescape increasingly visible and accessible in the 21st Century.

In terms of human mortality, cardiac diseases have a higher mortality
rate than cancer. Along with mortality rates, cancer morbidity also
paints a rather bleak picture. Management of cancer continues to be a
difficult task despite advancements in treatment modalities.
Cytotoxicity is one of the key indicators in in vitro biological
evaluations. Cytotoxic drugs have been shown to, among other things,
disrupt cell membranes, inhibit protein synthesis, and bind receptors
irreversibly in vitro. A number of short-term cytotoxic effects and cell
proliferation assays have been created and used to identify cell death
brought on by these insults. Among the in vivo models that have been
developed are those that mimic chemical carcinogenesis and xenografts
for human malignancies. The current in-vitro and animal models used in
the development and evaluation of the therapeutic efficacy of
anti-cancer drugs are covered in this article
Long-term biogeographic processes dominate patterns of genetic diversity in a wingless grasshopper despite substantial recent habitat fragmentation
Authors: Hoffmann Ary , Jasper Moshe , White Vanessa , Yagui Hiromi , Kearney Michael
Published: December 2022

Low vagility species may hold strong genetic signatures of past
biogeographic processes but are also vulnerable to habitat loss.
Flightless grasshoppers of the morabine group were once widespread in
south-eastern Australia including Tasmania but are becoming restricted
to remnant patches of vegetation, with local ranges impacted by
agriculture and development as well as management. Habitat fragmentation
can generate genetically differentiated “island” populations with low
genetic variation. However, following revegetation, populations could be
re-established and gene flow increased. Here we characterise SNP based
genetic variation in a widespread chromosomal race of the morabine
Vandiemenella viatica (race 19) to investigate the genetic health of
remnant populations and to provide guidelines for restoration efforts.
We update the distribution of this race to new sites in Victoria and
Tasmania, and show that V. viatica populations from northern Tasmania
and eastern Victoria have reduced genetic variation compared to other
mainland populations. In contrast there was no effect of habitat
fragment size on genetic variation. Tasmanian V. viatica populations
fell into two groups, one connected genetically to eastern Victoria and
the other connected to south-western Victoria. Mainland populations
showed isolation by distance. These patterns are consistent with
expectations from past biogeographic processes rather than local recent
population fragmentation and emphasize the importance of small local
reserves in preserving genetic variation. The study highlights how
genomic analyses can combine information on genetic variability and
population structure to identify biogeographic patterns within a
species, which in turn can inform decisions on potential source
populations for translocations.

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is employed for microbial ability as it imparts
a great disinfection property. Besides being an oxidizing agent, it is a
charge less entity hence it intrudes the proteinaceous layers and ceases
the nucleus. It is obligatory to sanitize air-conditioned closed rooms
in contagious environment which are vulnerable to infections due to
inhibited humidity in air. In this study, HOCl disinfection was studied
for parameters like concentration (25, 50 and 100 ppm), pH (4 to 6 and
at the elevated pH 6-10 in the room) and the ambient temperature (32, 25
and 20oC) over the time intervals of 30 minutes, 1, 1.5 and 2 hours in
the fogged environment followed by the 20 hours of incubation to study
growth of microbes and development of colonies. Consequently, the

Background and Purpose: This study investigated the reno-protective
effects of a highly selective AT2R agonist peptide, β-Pro7Ang III in a
mouse model of acute kidney injury (AKI). Experimental Approach:
C57BL/6J mice underwent either sham surgery or unilateral kidney
ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) for 40 minutes. IRI mice were treated
with either β-Pro7Ang III or perindopril and at 7 days post-surgery the
kidneys analysed for histopathology and the development of fibrosis and
matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and -9 activity. The association of the
therapeutic effects of β-Pro7Ang III with macrophage number and
phenotype was determined in vivo and in vitro. Key Results: Decreased
kidney tubular injury, interstitial matrix expansion and reduced
interstitial immune cell infiltration in IRI mice receiving β-Pro7Ang
III treatment was observed at day 7, compared to IRI mice without
treatment. This correlated to reduced collagen accumulation and MMP-2
activity in IRI mice following β-Pro7Ang III treatment. FACS analysis
showed a reduced number and proportion of CD45+CD11b+F4/80+ macrophages
in IRI kidneys in response to β-Pro7Ang III, correlating with a
significant increase in M2 macrophage markers and decreased M1 markers
at day 3 and 7 post-IR injury, respectively. In vitro analysis of
cultured THP-1 cells showed that β-Pro7Ang III attenuated
lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and
interleukin (IL)-6 production but increased IL-10 secretion, compared to
LPS alone. Conclusion and Implications: Therapeutic delivery of
β-Pro7Ang III was renoprotective via alteration of macrophage phenotype
and anti-inflammatory cytokine release, therefore mitigating the
downstream progression of ischemic AKI.

Objectives: The CF Foundation sponsored competitive awards for
Mental Health Coordinators (MHCs) from 2016-2018 to implement the
international guidelines for mental health screening and treatment in US
CF centers. Longitudinal surveys evaluated success in implementing these
guidelines using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research
(CFIR). Methods: MHCs completed annual surveys assessing
implementation from Preparation/Basic Implementation (e.g., using
recommended screeners) to Full Implementation/Sustainability (e.g.,
providing evidence-based treatments). Points were assigned to questions
through consensus, with higher scores assigned to more complex tasks.
Linear regression and mixed effects models were used to: 1) examine
differences in centers and MHC characteristics, 2) identify predictors
of success, 3) model the longitudinal trajectory of implementation
scores. Results: 122 MHCs (88.4% responded): Cohort 1
N=80, Cohort 2 N=30, Cohort 3 N=12. No differences in
center characteristics were found. Significant improvements in
implementation were observed across centers over time. Years of
experience on a CF team was the only significant predictor of success;
those with 1-5 years or longer reported the highest implementation
scores. Change over time was predicted by >5 years of
experience. Conclusions: Implementation of the mental health
guidelines was highly successful over time. Funding for MHCs with
dedicated time was critical. Longitudinal modeling indicated that CF
centers with diverse characteristics could implement them, supported by
evidence from the CF Patient Registry showing nearly universal uptake of
mental health screening in the US. Years of experience predicted better
implementation, suggesting that education and training of MHCs and
retention of experienced providers are critical to success.

The insect cell-baculovirus expression vector system (IC-BEVS) has shown
to be a powerful platform to produce complex biopharmaceutical products,
such as recombinant proteins and VLPs. More recently IC-BEVS has been
also used as an alternative to produce adeno-associated virus (AAV).
However, little is known about the variability of insect cell
populations and the potential effect of heterogeneity on product titer
and/or quality. In this study, transcriptomics analysis of Sf9 insect
cells during the production of recombinant AAV using a low multiplicity
of infection, dual-baculovirus system was performed via
single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq). Before infection, the principal source
of variability in Sf9 insect cells was associated to cell cycle. Over
the course of infection, an increase in transcriptional heterogeneity
was detected, this being linked to the expression of baculovirus genes
as well as to differences in AAV transgenes ( rep, cap and
gfp) expression. Noteworthy, at 24 hours post-infection (hpi)
only 29 % of cells showed to enclose all three necessary AAV transgenes
to produce packed AAV particles, indicating limitations of the dual
baculovirus system. In addition, the trajectory analysis herein
performed highlighted biological processes such as protein folding,
metabolic processes, translation and stress response has been
significantly altered upon infection. Overall, this work reports the
first application of scRNA-seq to the IC-BEVS and highlights significant
variations in individual cells within the population, providing insight
for rational cell and process engineering towards improved AAV
production in IC-BEVS.
The role and mechanism of microRNAs in infections with Streptococcus pneumoniae
Authors: Qin Ru-Xue , Pan Jin-Ge , Lu Zhong-Hua , Sun Yun , Yu Wei-Li
Published: December 2022

Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) is the most important
pathogenic bacteria occurred in wide range of habitat, which cause of
several diseases, including pneumonia, meningitis, otitis media,
bacteremia and other common infections. Every year, approximately 1.6
million people are seriously affected and ultimately die as a result of
pneumococcal infections worldwide, affecting people’s lives and health.
Relevant studies in recent years have demonstrated the important role of
microRNAs (miRNAs) in a variety of diseases. Further research on the
mechanism of microRNA and the relationship between microRNA and diseases
has shown that microRNA may become a new biological marker for disease
diagnosis and may also provide a new approach to disease treatment. The
function of microRNA in pneumococcal infections has also been gradually
reported, including pneumococcal nasopharyngeal colonization, pneumonia,
sepsis, bacteremia, heart invasion, meningitis, acute otitis media,
osteoarthritis and other diseases. This article will overview the
mechanism and research progress of microRNA in infections caused by S.
pneumoniae.
Possible linkage between winter extreme low temperature over central-western China and autumn sea ice loss
Authors: Ding Shuoyi , Wu Bingyi , Chen Wen , Graf Hans-F. , Zhang Xuanwen
Published: December 2022

Based on reanalysis datasets and sea-ice sensitivity experiments, this
study has pointed out that the autumn sea ice loss in East
Siberian-Chukchi-Beaufort (EsCB) Seas significantly increases the
frequency of winter extreme low temperature over western-central China.
Autumn sea ice loss warms the troposphere and generates anticyclonic
anomaly over the Arctic region one month later. Under the effects of
synoptic eddy-mean flow interaction and anomalous upward propagated
planetary wave 2, the Arctic anticyclonic anomaly strengthens and
develops toward Greenland-Northern Europe, accompanied by a weakened
stratospheric polar vortex. In winter, following intra-seasonal downward
propagation of stratospheric anomalies, the Northern European positive
geopotential anomalies enhance and expand downstream within 7 days,
favoring Arctic cold air east of Novaya Zemlya southward (hyperpolar
path) accumulating in Siberia around Lake of Baikal. In the subsequent
2~3 days, these cold anomalies rapidly intrude
western-central China and induce abrupt sharp cooling, thus more
frequent extreme low temperature there.
Eastern Adriatic cities and their role in Venetian (long distance) commercial activities during the 13th and the first half of the 14th century
Authors: Benyovsky Latin Irena
Published: December 2022

The main strategy was to maintain the sea route from the northernmost point of the Adriatic to the Levant, and to introduce the necessary legal, commercial, and administrative practices modelled upon its own. During the 13th and 14th centuries Venice worked on gaining military and economic control over the Eastern Adriatic and “prepared the ground” for its later long dominance in that area. In this period, from Venetian perspective, the cities were primarily strategic and exchange points – and were increasingly perceived as the natural hub of connections between the Mediterranean and Central Europe or the West and the Levant. The infrastructures that supported the Venetian long-distance trade in the 13th and 14th centuries were related to security, equipment, and the possibility of transit, as well as supplying enough manpower on the way.
Baptismal kinship and wedding witnesses in the parish of Desne as factors of social networks (1870 - 1875)
Authors: Šutalo Sandra , Marić Marinko
Published: December 2022

This work is based on the analysis of the register of baptisms and weddings of the Desne parish in the Neretva Valley. Godparents’ and wedding witnesses’ relationships were analysed, godparents’ for 1870 and 1871, and wedding witnesses’ for the period from 1870 to 1875. By analysing the data, it was tried to be determined whether those relationships were used as social network links or as a means of better positioning within the community. The study is based on the analysis of the number of godparents and their sex structure, on the interval between the birth of the children and their baptism, on the correspondence of the children’s and godparents’ names and surnames, on the number of multiplied godparents, on the comparison between the godparents’ and children’s parents’ jobs as well as on the places where children and godparents lived. In the case of weddings, the number and sex of wedding witnesses, correspondence of the children’s and wedding witnesses’ names and surnames, multiplied wedding witnesses’ and the places where spouses and wedding witnesses lived were analysed.
Conflict between Yugoslavia and the International Committee of the Red Cross in the aftermath of the Second World War
Authors: Kevo Mario
Published: December 2022

The International Committee of the Red Cross from Geneva and its activities in the circumstances of the Second World War has been exclusively humanitarian, and the ICRC based it on the then applicable provisions and regulations of the International Law of War (the Law of Armed Conflict). In the aftermath of the Second World War, sporadic allegations began to arise on the ICRC's activities in the war’s circumstances, from 1939 to 1945. These allegations focused in particular on the ICRC's relations with the Authorities of the German Reich, and on the ICRC's activities in favor of the Jews during the war. Initially, the ICRC and its leadership has been facing sporadic accusations from various organizations or individuals, as well as accusations from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), that had no official relations with the ICRC, and shown open hostilities towards the ICRC in the aftermath of the Second World War. In mid-1946, the representatives of Yugoslav authorities accused the ICRC of protecting collaborators and war criminals and further aggravated the situation. The reason for the outbreak of the conflict was the issue of displaced persons, among other. The Yugoslav Red Cross started the conflict that continued through the official Yugoslav press, with the support of the Yugoslav authorities. Soon, both the Yugoslav Red Cross and the Yugoslav authorities extended their allegations towards the ICRC to the entire ICRC’s activities carried out during the war. Based on original archival sources, published sources and literature, the author presents the genesis of the conflict.
