Motivational patterns for engaging in heritage bus city tours among youth tourists (Generation Y and Z): an unsupervised machine learning analysis
Authors: Agoes A , Safari A 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
In the evolving tourism landscape, the rising dominance of Generation Y and Z tourists presents a paradigm shift, characterized by inherent preferences for nature and adventure attractions. Their support for heritage conservation-based sustainable tourism may change with this transformation. This research seeks to understand Generation Y and Z heritage bus city tour participants’ motives to link their interests with cultural heritage. The study analyses 100 targeted individuals’ responses using unsupervised machine learning and advanced algorithms. Questionnaires explored various motivations, including historical explanations, tourism information, entertainment factors, and the round-the-city experience. The outcome reveals three distinct and discernible motivational clusters within young participants. This study plays a pivotal role in addressing the potential disconnection between Generation Y and Z tourists and heritage conservation. Understanding their motives makes heritage bus city tours more appealing and helps create tailored initiatives. Such strategies aim to foster a genuine appreciation for heritage attractions and encourage active participation in cultural heritage conservation. This research bridges the gap between these cohorts’ interests and cultural heritage sustainability in tourism by connecting the findings with their characteristics. It ensures Generation Y and Z appreciate heritage places and become responsible stewards of conservation, promoting sustainable tourist practices to preserve cultural heritage.

Abstract
Pasrujambe village in Lumajang Regency has natural and cultural attractions, which made the Regency government appoint it as a tourism village. This study aimed to develop an interpretive plan to support the tourism development of Pasrujambe Tourism Village. Data on potential resources for the interpretive plan was collected in March – May 2023 using interviews, field observations and literature studies. The interpretive plan covers the theme, selection of potential objects for interpretation, interpretive scenario/script and interpretive map. The theme raised for this plan is “Pasrujambe, a miniature of Lumajang Regency with a wealth of sustainable natural and cultural resources”. Within the theme, several objects were selected, include physical objects (Watu Lapis waterfall, Kedung Guwo waterfall and natural scenery); biological objects (bamboo, betel nut, sengon tree, balsa tree, robusta coffee, and cardamom, as well as animal species including Senduro goat and Javan hawk-eagle); socio-cultural objects (village charity and several types of arts including jaran slining dance, reog, karawitan, and wayang); and historical objects (history of Beji Patirtan temple, Loji Mbesuk Sat building, and the origin of Pasrujambe). These interpretation objects are presented in five scenarios/scripts, some representing each type of object while others representing a combination of objects and an interpretation map.
Intangible cultural heritage protection from the perspective of cultural tourism: a case study of Shaanxi Province, China
Authors: Jiawei A Z , Mustapha B A 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Amidst China’s ongoing economic growth, the demand for public cultural resources has significantly risen, highlighting disparities in supply and demand. To address this issue, public cultural service reform is imperative. This article focuses on the consolidation of public cultural resource class scenic spots and their attributes. It outlines the theoretical foundations of free access to such resources and examines their positive impacts on the economy, society, and tourism. However, this approach also poses challenges, such as disrupting the economic balance of scenic areas, reduced enthusiasm for opening these spots, management difficulties, and unsustainable visitor growth. The study delves deeper into these challenges by using Xi’an Datang Furong Garden Scenic Spot as a case study, exploring how government can effectively manage public cultural resources, balance economic interests, and promote scientific protection and sustainable utilization. The paper suggests increasing financial subsidies, developing service projects, resource and environment protection, optimizing management mechanisms, and enhancing the industrial structure to ensure the sustainable development of free scenic spots. This research holds significant practical relevance.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
The tourists’ contribution to sustainable tourism is not only economic but also in socio-cultural and ecological aspects. As a medium for Instagram content for National Parks in Indonesia, virtual tours contain content to inform and promote that can influence tourists to realize sustainable tourism. Research to evaluate the content of virtual tour narratives is carried out with a quantitative descriptive approach. The quantitative method involves frequency analysis and score calculation for meeting virtual tour evaluation criteria, while the results are explained descriptively. The analysis technique used is content analysis with information and promotion messages of narrative elements evaluation criteria. The results showed that the percentage of virtual tour video content on National Park Instagram in Indonesia was less than content that was not virtual tour videos. The small number is also not accompanied by good narrative elements, only 15% of which have excellent evaluation results. However, two National Parks can optimize virtual tours, Karimun Jawa and Komodo. Increasing the amount of video content, meeting information, and promotion criteria need to be done to optimize virtual tours in National Parks in Indonesia. The results can be used as a guide for evaluating the narrative elements of national park virtual tour videos.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
This paper aims to investigate how the political economy of tourism development at the national level is affecting the management of a World Heritage Site, its rural localities and the surrounding communities. The study focuses on Borobudur priority tourism destinations, which is designated as part of Indonesia’s efforts to increase international tourists’ arrivals Various development programs - mainly physical and infrastructural take place in a bid to push more tourism activities in this World Heritage Site. Some of these recent developments have brought concern for the preservation of the site and values attached to it. This study uses interviews to gather information from representatives of organizations at local, national, and international level involved in the preservation of the cultural heritage site, tourism, and in managing the priority destination. The results indicate that the cultural heritage site is affected by the apparent political economy of tourism in which tourism interests dominate the decisions and policies concerning the area. There are also issues of unclear shared vision about the priority destination translated into action plans and division of responsibilities among institutions involved, indefinite decision on the institution to lead the management, and differing perceptions of development where the dominant notion is physical and infrastructural development.
Magnetically tuned thermoelectric properties of metal-oxides: a review
Authors: Dubey Divya Prakash , Chatterjee Ratnamala 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
In recent years, research on thermoelectric materials has garnered considerable attention, owing to their potential to offer efficient and environmentally friendly energy solutions. Metal oxides have emerged as strong contenders for thermoelectric materials, offering a promising avenue for implementing diverse mechanisms aimed at achieving higher thermoelectric efficiency. In this review, we investigate the influence of magnetic fields on the thermoelectric properties of oxide-based materials. Drawing insights from existing literature, we provide a comprehensive overview of how magnetically tuned Seebeck coefficients, thermal conductivity, and electrical resistivity impact the thermoelectric performance of oxide-based thermoelectrics. Literature available on magnetic field tuning of Spin Seebeck effect and anomalous Nernst effect for improved efficiency in oxide-based systems, have also been included in this review.

Abstract
In the present study, Cu2SnSe3/x% Ni (x = 0, 1, 2 and 3 wt%) composite thermoelectric were synthesized using solid-state reaction followed by sintering in the mid-temperature range 300–570 K. XRD studies revealed that the samples have a diamond cubic structure with the

space group. Scanning Electron Microscopy indicates that the synthesized samples possess homogeneous surfaces with fewer pores. The sample with 3% Ni exhibits an approximately eight-fold increase in electrical conductivity than the pure sample at 307 K. However, the addition of Ni decreased the Seebeck coefficient, resulting in a lower overall power factor (PF) for the composites. The highest PF of ∼420 μW/mK2, was observed in the pristine sample at 570 K. Although Ni addition improves electrical properties, it negatively impacts the overall thermoelectric performance due to the significant reduction in Seebeck coefficient, thereby lowering the overall power factor.

Authors: Sahoo H , Mallik P K , Barik K 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The utilization of industry by-products, such as fly ash, was investigated. However, the research results have yet to report the functional characteristics of fly ash. This paper deals with the processing, microstructure, and functional characterization of fly ash using a novel powder metallurgy method. The elemental composition, mineralogical phases, morphology phases, electrical and dielectric properties were determined by XRF, XRD, SEM, and impendence analyzer, respectively. The effect of additives on fly ash’s microstructure and functional properties was studied. As a result, sintered fly ash possesses better microstructure and dielectric properties as a function of frequency and temperature. It is suggested that sintered fly ash can be utilized for electronic packaging and EMI shielding applications.
Finite-time stability control with hardware-in-the-loop testing of a chaotic permanent magnet synchronous motor
Authors: Iqbal Arif , Bakhsh Farhad Ilahi , Singh Girish Kumar 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Stability of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) is of prime importance for the successful operation of the drive system, which is found to be dependent on initial operating conditions showing chaotic characteristic. Therefore, the paper presents the stabilization of a chaotic PMSM system through the finite-time stability approach. From this aspect, three controllers have been developed which are effective for the suppression of machine chaotic behaviour. Proposed controllers are simpler and numerically stable in comparison with previous works. Furthermore, performance comparisons of the proposed controllers are also presented in term of their settling time and peak overshoot. Selection among the proposed controllers depends on the consideration of a particular operating index (settling time or peak overshoot) wherein, performance also varies on system parameter

λ
.

Performance evaluation of proposed controllers has been presented in MATLAB environment. In order to validate the obtained MATLAB results, a real-time analysis has been carried out using Typhoon Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) emulator. The comparison shows that both results follow the same trend and are closely coordinated with each other, which validates the proposed controllers.
Reducing the spike rate of deep spiking neural networks based on time-encoding
Authors: Fontanini Riccardo , Pilotto Alessandro , Esseni David , Loghi Mirko 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
A primary objective of Spiking Neural Networks is a very energy-efficient computation. To achieve this target, a small spike rate is of course very beneficial given the event-driven nature of such a computation. A network that processes information encoded in spike timing can, by its nature, have such a sparse event rate, but, as the network becomes deeper and larger, the spike rate tends to increase without any improvements in the final accuracy. If, on the other hand, a penalty on the excess of spikes is used during the training, the network may shift to a configuration where many neurons are silent, thus affecting the effectiveness of the training itself. In this paper, we present a learning strategy to keep the final spike rate under control by changing the loss function to penalize the spikes generated by neurons after the first ones. Moreover, we also propose a 2-phase training strategy to avoid silent neurons during the training, intended for benchmarks where such an issue can cause the switch off of the network.
A population-based case-control analysis of risk factors associated with mortality during the 2021 western North American heat dome: focus on chronic conditions and social vulnerability
Authors: McLean Kathleen E , Lee Michael J , Coker Eric S , Henderson Sarah B 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Western North America experienced an unprecedented extreme heat event (EHE) in early summer 2021. In the province of British Columbia (BC), this event was associated with an estimated 740 excess deaths, making it one of the deadliest weather events in Canadian history. This study uses a population-based case-control design to compare 1597 adults (cases) who died during the EHE (25 June–2 July 2021) with 7968 similar adults (controls) who survived. The objective was to identify risk factors for death during the EHE by examining differences in chronic diseases and social vulnerability between the cases and controls. We used care setting, age category, sex, and geographic area of cases to identify comparable surviving controls. We used logistic regression to estimate the odds ratio (OR) for each chronic disease, adjusted for care setting, age category, sex, and geographic area. We further adjusted for individual-level low-income status to identify changes in the estimated ORs with the addition of this indicator of social vulnerability. The risk factor most strongly associated with EHE mortality was individual-level low income. The fully adjusted OR [95% confidence interval] for receiving income assistance was 2.42 [1.98, 2.95]. The chronic disease most strongly associated with EHE mortality was schizophrenia, with a fully adjusted OR of 1.93 [1.51, 2.45]. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, parkinsonism, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, ischemic stroke, and substance use disorder were also associated with significantly higher odds of EHE mortality. These results confirm the roles of social vulnerability, mental illness, and other specific underlying chronic conditions (renal, respiratory, cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and neurological) in risk of mortality during EHEs. This information is being used to inform policy and planning to reduce risk during future EHEs in BC and across Canada.
Estimating methane emissions from manure: a suitable case for treatment?
Authors: Ward Neil , Atkins Andrew , Atkins Penny 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Methane from livestock is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions. Under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), Annex I countries’ National Inventories report emissions from cattle as enteric or from manure management at ratios of between 3:1 and 9:1 depending on country and cattle type. Field research generally supports the inventories’ assumptions about enteric emissions, but these ratios have focused interest on enteric emissions and diverted attention away from those from manure management. Official calculations about manure management emissions factors are more varied than those for enteric emissions and evidence from field measurements suggests inventories may be underestimating manure management emissions especially in the dairy sector. This paper has three objectives. First, it reviews the science underpinning the international framework for estimating methane emissions from manure management. Second, it presents data from two dairy farms in south-west England where measured emissions of methane from slurry storage facilities are found to be four to five times greater than the assumptions in the UK’s inventory. If these measurements were representative of the UK, the implication is that total methane emissions from the UK dairy herd would be over 40% greater than the level reported to the UNFCCC and the proportion of total methane emissions from dairy cows arising from manure management would be almost a half rather than less than a quarter. Finally, the paper assesses the potential value if methane were captured from slurry storage facilities. Its value as a biogas is estimated to be £500 million per year for the UK dairy industry (at forecourt diesel prices). The paper concludes that the scale of emissions and the potential economic value of lost biogas are sufficient to warrant urgent research and action to reduce emissions from manure management with the beneficial prospect that a valuable new income stream for farm businesses could also be realised.

Abstract
Dominant mutations in the calcium-permeable ion channel TRPV4 (transient receptor potential vanilloid 4) cause diverse and largely distinct channelopathies, including inherited forms of neuromuscular disease, skeletal dysplasias and arthropathy. Pathogenic TRPV4 mutations cause gain of ion channel function and toxicity that can be rescued by small molecule TRPV4 antagonists in cellular and animal models, suggesting that TRPV4 antagonism could be therapeutic for patients. Numerous variants in TRPV4 have been detected with targeted and whole exome/genome sequencing, but for the vast majority, their pathogenicity remains unclear.
Here, we used a combination of clinical information and experimental structure-function analyses to evaluate 30 TRPV4 variants across various functional protein domains. We report clinical features of seven patients with TRPV4 variants of unknown significance and provide extensive functional characterization of these and an additional 17 variants, including structural position, ion channel function, subcellular localization, expression level, cytotoxicity and protein-protein interactions. We find that gain-of-function mutations within the TRPV4 intracellular ankyrin repeat domain target charged amino acid residues important for RhoA interaction, whereas ankyrin repeat domain residues outside of the RhoA interface have normal or reduced ion channel activity.
We further identify a cluster of gain-of-function variants within the intracellular intrinsically disordered region that may cause toxicity via altered interactions with membrane lipids. In contrast, assessed variants in the transmembrane domain and other regions of the intrinsically disordered region do not cause gain of function and are likely benign. Clinical features associated with gain of function and cytotoxicity include congenital onset of disease, vocal cord weakness and motor-predominant disease, whereas patients with likely benign variants often demonstrated late-onset and sensory-predominant disease. These results provide a framework for assessing additional TRPV4 variants with respect to likely pathogenicity, which will yield critical information to inform patient selection for future clinical trials for TRPV4 channelopathies.
