Sustainable Tourism: A Systematic Literature Review and Bibliometric Analysis
Authors: Sofia Loureiro Isabel , Costa Vânia , Malheiro Alexandra 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
The research aims to emphasise the significance of sustainable tourism and the topics it’s being associated with. It is also intended to analyse the shift in literature during the selected time. A bibliometric analysis was conducted on highly cited documents about the Topic “sustainable tourism” from 2017 to 2022, using the Web of Science database. The analysis involved examining the number of research papers, their respective journals, co-authorship, country of origin and keywords. The keywords “sustainable tourism”, “covid-19” and “tourism” were used more frequently in the 50 articles collected. The majority of the articles were published in 2020 and 2021, coinciding with the pandemic, which demonstrates the emerging focus on sustainability given by researchers in this period. By relying on a specific database and specifically selecting highly cited papers, the study was limited. However, preferring these papers aligns with the goal of this research. The literature review synthesises the themes and perspectives from different authors and the relevance given to sustainable tourism due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It identifies key trends and viewpoints in the field while recognising its limitations and provides visual information on the topic.
Motivations and satisfaction of tourists staying in homestays across Kashmir Valley
Authors: Dar Ajaz , Iqbal Danish , Bhat Sajad 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This study explores the motivations and satisfaction levels of tourists choosing homestays in the Kashmir Valley, an area renowned for its natural beauty and cultural richness. Despite the growing popularity of homestays, little research has been conducted on understanding the driving factors behind their selection and the satisfaction derived from such stays in this unique context. Utilising primary data collected through surveys and interviews from a sample of tourists, this paper employs Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) and factor analysis to identify the underlying motivations for choosing homestays and to evaluate tourists’ satisfaction levels.
The findings reveal that cultural immersion, personalised experiences, and the desire for authentic local interactions are primary motivations for tourists opting for home-stays over traditional hotel accommodations. Satisfaction levels were significantly influenced by the quality of interaction with hosts, the comfort of the accommodation, and the ability to experience the local way of life. The study’s results contribute to the theoretical understanding of tourist behaviour in the context of homestays and offer practical implications for hosts and policymakers aiming to enhance the homestay experience in the Kashmir Valley. By addressing the gap in the literature, this research provides valuable insights into the sustainable development of homestay tourism in culturally and ecologically sensitive regions.

Authors: Feijó Almeida Giovana Goretti , Almeida Paulo 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
COVID-19 posed challenges to all areas of society. This study aims to analyse the impact of COVID-19 on destination brand research between 2020 and 2022. Based on Scopus and Web of Science, the researchers analysed the impact of COVID-19 on destination branding research. Thus, the systematic literature review associated with the integrative review was the method used in the study. The combined research databases showed limited published research on COVID-19 and the investigated topic. It is surprising to see such a contrast in an area that has experienced continuous growth since 2005. This article is relevant for public policy planners, tourism professionals, researchers, and students interested in destination branding. It is still necessary to perform a study on the impact of COVID-19 on destination branding. It should compare the peak of the pandemic in 2020–2022 with the current situation in 2024. An in-depth case study would be an especially welcome addition to the literature. The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the critical importance of destination brand management in addressing unprecedented challenges and crises.

Published: August 2024

Objetivo: Realizar um estudo sobre os perfis de bactérias presentes nas superfícies das canetas odontológicas. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura integrativa, que investigou a contaminação de canetas odontológicas, a partir de publicações científicas indexadas no Google Acadêmico, PubMed, LILACS e ScienceDirect, utilizando os descritores “Equipamentos Odontológicos de Alta Rotação”, “Bactérias”, “Contaminação” e “Esterilização” combinados com o operador booleano AND, nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol, publicados de 2013 a 2023, cuja amostra final resultou em 6 artigos. Resultados: Entre as publicações selecionadas, as bactérias mais comumente encontradas foram Staphylococcus spp. e Pseudomonas spp. No Brasil, é comum usar álcool a 70% para desinfecção de canetas, porém tal método não se mostra tão eficaz, pois não elimina todos os tipos de microrganismos, especialmente esporos. Por isso, é importante seguir o protocolo recomendado, limpando e desinfetando os componentes das canetas. Conclusão: É crucial seguir rigorosamente as normas de biossegurança, evitando a contaminação e protegendo os pacientes, dentistas e equipe ao lidar com canetas odontológicas de alto potencial de contaminação.
Role of Q-switched neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser in combination with fractional carbon dioxide laser for the treatment of onychomycosis
Authors: Dhawan Sachin , Sharma Komal 
Published: August 2024

Objectives:
Our aim was to evaluate the role and efficacy of Q-switched neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd: YAG) combined with fractional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser for the treatment of onychomycosis without administration of oral antifungals.

Materials and Methods:
Twenty-five patients with onychomycosis and positive fungal cultures, who had not been on any oral antifungal for at least six months, were included in our study. The patients were treated with monthly sessions combining 1,064 nm Q-switched Nd: YAG laser, ms quasi mode, and fractional CO2 laser for six months, along with a topical antifungal. The visual analog score was calculated according to patient observation for cosmetic clearance after three and six sessions, and three and six months after completion of the laser sessions. The onychomycosis severity index (OSI) was used by the clinician at the beginning and the end of the study as a tool to measure the treatment outcome. Fungal cultures were done six months after the completion of sessions to evaluate fungal clearance.

Results:
Twenty of the 25 enrolled patients completed the study. Of these, 5 (25%) patients had complete cosmetic clearance after six sessions, and 15 (75%) patients had complete clearance at three months after completion of the sessions, which was maintained at six months. On comparing the OSI score calculated at the beginning of the laser therapy and six months after completion of laser sessions, a significant response to treatment (P < 0.001) was seen. In total, 17 (85%) patients had negative fungal cultures six months after completion of sessions proving no relapse till six months.

Conclusion:
Our study concludes that Q-switched Nd: YAG in combination with fractional CO2 laser is beneficial in the treatment of onychomycosis by destruction of fungal elements and increasing the topical drug delivery. These lasers are commonly available in dermatology practice and can be combined with oral antifungals to reduce the treatment duration.

Published: August 2024

Objective: The purpose of this study was to establish the extent to which capacity planning influences the performance of climate-smart agriculture projects in Laikipia County.

Theoretical Framework: The study was anchored on the theory of change whose pillars are planning, participation, and evaluation. These factors are critical in capacity planning of scarce resources and evaluating the effectiveness of the process.

Method: A concurrent mixed method approach that adopted the descriptive cross-sectional survey and correlational design was employed to study two World Bank-sponsored Kenya Climate Smart Agriculture projects. Stratified and Simple random sampling were employed to get a sample of 225 small-scale farmers and purposeful sampling identified four key informants. Data was collected using questionnaires and interview guide and analyzed using descriptive, inferential, and content data analysis techniques.

Results and Discussion: The respondent’s opinion on capacity planning had a composite mean and standard deviation of 2.88 and 1.219 respectively. Capacity planning and the performance of climate-smart agriculture projects had a strong correlation coefficient of r=0.644 and p-value p=0.000<0.05. Therefore, resource capacity planning is fundamental in enhancing climate-smart projects, through proactive decisions, risk management, and cost reduction.

Research Implications: Consequently, it is imperative to have policies that prioritize and promote capacity planning of the scarce public and private goods to enhance their allocation.

Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by providing reliable and triangulated empirical data through authentic methodology enhancing suitability for data generalisability and replicability. The relevance and value of this research was evidenced by the need to promote food security in pursuance of the achievement of sustainable development goals.

Published: August 2024

Objective: The objective of this study is to determine how resource procurement influences climate-smart agriculture projects in Laikipia County, Kenya.

Theoretical Framework: This study is anchored on Transaction Cost Economics Theory, which states that a project will attract transaction costs all through the procurement process. This study anchors on this theory as small-scale farmers need to be innovative to reduce procurement costs and have bargaining power over exploitive stockists.

Method: A concurrent mixed method approach that adopted the descriptive cross-sectional survey and correlational design was employed to study two World Bank-sponsored Kenya Climate Smart Agriculture projects. Stratified and Simple random sampling were employed to get a sample of 225 small-scale farmers and purposeful sampling identified four key informants. Data was collected using questionnaires and an interview guide and analyzed using descriptive, inferential, and content data analysis techniques.

Results and Discussion: The composite mean and standard deviation of 3.25 and 1.163 respectively. The relationship between resource procurement and the performance of climate-smart agriculture projects had a fairly strong linear coefficient of correlation (r= 0.524) and p-value of (p=0.000<0.05) indicating a fairly strong and significant relationship. Therefore, effective procurement of inputs, machinery, and other resources is critical in sustainable agriculture.

Research Implications: Consequently, it is critical to have policies that promote effective procurement and safeguard small-scale farmers from exploitive stockists.

Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by providing reliable and triangulated empirical data through authentic methodology enhancing suitability for data generalisability and replicability. The relevance and value of this research is evidenced by the need to promote food security in a healthy ecology
RESOURCE STEWARDSHIP AND CLIMATE SMART AGRICULTURE IN LAIKIPIA COUNTY, KENYA
Authors: Ruheni George Gatere , Rambo Charles Mallans , Wafula Charles Misiko , Mwenda Mary Nyambura 
Published: August 2024

Objective: To examine the extent to which resource stewardship influences the performance of climate-smart agriculture projects in Laikipia County, Kenya.

Theoretical Framework: The study was anchored on the Stewardship theory that envisages that unsupervised managers, will derive their satisfaction from the organization's success hence, remain accountable stewards. Judicious stewardship is the only way to achieve food security in a healthy ecology.

Method: A concurrent mixed method approach that adopted the descriptive cross-sectional survey and correlational design was employed to study two World Bank-sponsored Kenya Climate Smart Agriculture projects. Stratified and Simple random sampling were employed to get a sample of 225 small-scale farmers and purposeful sampling identified four key informants. Data was collected using questionnaires and interview guide and analyzed using descriptive, inferential, and content data analysis techniques.

Results and Discussion: The respondents’ opinions on resource stewardship had a composite mean and standard deviation of 3.47 and 1.138 respectively. The relationship between resource stewardship and the performance of climate-smart projects had a weak linear correlation of (r= -0.007) and p-value (p=0.923>0.05) indicating a weak and insignificant relationship. Despite the portrayed confidence in resource stewardship, stewardship is not a quick-fix approach hence, detested in the use of resources.

Research Implications: Consequently, it is vital to have policies that enforce, promote, and subsidize activities that stimulates stewardship in food production.

Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by providing reliable and triangulated empirical data through authentic methodology enhancing suitability for data generalisability and replicability. The relevance and value of this research are evidenced by the need to promote food security in pursuance of the achievement of sustainable development goals.

Background
Syphilis in blood donors (BD) has increased in many countries.

Aim
We aimed to describe trends in syphilis seroposivity in BD in France, to identify risk factors and assess if a non-treponemic test (NTT) could define BD having recovered from syphilis for more than 1 year.

Methods
The analysis covered the period 2007 to 2022 and 45,875,939 donations. Of the 474 BD syphilis-positive in 2022, 429 underwent additional investigations with an NTT. History of syphilis was obtained at the post-donation interview or based on serology results for repeat donors.

Results
Until 2021, positivity rates remained stable (mean: 1.18/10,000 donations, range: 1.01–1.38). An increased rate was observed in 2022 (1.74/10,000; p = 0.02). Over the whole study period, prevalence was 2.2 times higher in male than in female BD (4.1 times higher in 2022). The proportion of males with an identified risk factor who have sex with men increased from 16.7% in 2007 to 64.9% in 2022. Based on NTT, 79 (18%) of the donors who were seropositive in 2022 were classified as having been infected in the previous year. History of syphilis was available for 30 of them. All had an infection within the previous 3 years. Among seven donors with a syphilis < 12 months before testing, one had an NTT titre ≥ 8, three a titre between 1 and 4, three were negative.

Conclusion
Syphilis seropositivity increased considerably in BDs in 2022, mostly in males, notably MSM. Available data did not allow appropriate evaluation of the NTT to distinguish recent from past infection.
Through the Lens of Merleau-Ponty
Authors: CYPRESS BRIGITTE 
Published: August 2024

This article discusses how Merleau-Ponty’s existential phenomenology may serve as the lens and theoretical frame in a qualitative research study of the lived experience of patients, their families, and nurses during critical illness in the intensive care unit. Merleau-Ponty's unique existential concepts of corporeality, spatiality, temporality, and relationality provide a useful foundation and serve as a unifying philosophy of science in understanding this nursing phenomenon that is grounded in philosophical beliefs about humans, and the holistic nature of professional nursing that is not amenable to experimental investigative research methods. The research sheds light on the patients, families, and nurses’ embodied temporal, spatial, and relational horizons, and reveals a new conception of critical illness that will provide caregivers with knowledge about effective humanistic, and more holistic care, that opens new ways for coping amongst patients and their families, as well as caregiving possibilities for the nurses. Findings from this qualitative inquiry can help contribute knowledge about family engagement that would impact the provision of care in the intensive care unit, thus improving patient, family, and organizational outcomes.
