Published: November 2023

Abstract
The purpose of this research is to reveal the impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak on the domestic and international travel activities of Turkish academicians for academic reasons and to get insights into academicians’ opinions about how this pandemic would affect academic studies by preventing travel and socialising. An email interview technique is used. Collected data were analysed by using MAXQDA Analytics Pro 2020. As a result of content analysis, 70% of the respondents declared that their academic travel plans were cancelled due to this pandemic. The study emphasised that virtual travels seem to increase accessibility and equality for many academicians, especially those with travel restrictions.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyse the relationship between the COVID-19 impacts on tourism and the political approaches adopted to overcome the crisis in this sector. There has been a deep reflection on a new tourism paradigm, guided by an increasing commitment to sustainability and innovation, which was triggered by the COVID-19 outbreak. This perspective reinforces the role of decentralisation and autonomy of policies at the regional level. A network governance model emerges as a strategy to overcome this crisis. A bibliometric analysis (Rafael & Pires, 2021) was carried out using the SCOPUS and Web of Science (WOS) databases, from January 2020 to April 2021. The search criteria followed the assumptions of the non-probabilistic snow-ball sampling technique (Vinuto, 2014). The results were processed in SPSS and VosViewer software. Four main dimensions were found that mediate the relationship between tourism and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, namely: (1) policies, enabling network governance and regional autonomy; (2) research, enhancing knowledge transfer and new teaching models; (3) economic collaborative approaches that support DMO's activities; and (4) network innovation that fosters positive change. Understanding the impacts of COVID-19 in tourism politics and strategies offers important guidelines to both private and public decision-makers.
Determinants and COVID-19 effects on RevPAR: The case of Europe
Authors: Crespo Catarina , Gomes Conceição , Malheiros Cátia , Santos Luís Lima 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
As Europe prepares itself for a new downturn, this paper proposes to examine the determinants of hotel Revenue per Available Room (RevPAR) through literature review, and contribute to improving hotels’ performance by understanding the weight of the occupancy rate and the Average Daily Rate (ADR) on RevPAR, after the pandemic. A quantitative methodology was used, collecting data from STR Share Center and Our World in Data, such as ADR, occupancy rate, RevPAR, and COVID-19 confirmed cases. Results show the overwhelming effect of COVID-19 on hotel performance, conducing to ADR, occupancy rate, and RevPAR decline, and highlighting a co-movement of these indicators during COVID-19. After the lifting of major COVID-19 restrictions, RevPAR had a greater influence from ADR in some European countries, but the occupancy rate should not be disregarded. The findings, however, suggest the absence of the revenge travel phenomenon. The relationship between the number of COVID-19 cases and the decrease in RevPAR is not statistically significant, implying the existence of other factors that probably also had impact. The different measures adopted by governments to contain the virus, and each country's dependency on tourism, led to different impacts on hotel performance. This study helps hoteliers to know how to measure performance and the RevPAR drivers that can improve it, taking into account the situations that differ by country, as well as variables that are not controllable.
GABA Immunoreactivity and Pharmacological Effects vary Among Stylet-Bearing Nematodes
Authors: Reed Hannah M. , Han Ziduan , Schroeder Nathan E. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Plant-parasitic nematodes conduct a series of sophisticated behaviors to complete their life cycles. Among these, locomotion behaviors, including finding the host and migrating to the feeding site, directly affect the success of parasitism. Thus, disrupting locomotion behaviors has the potential to control these parasites. γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the prominent inhibitory neurotransmitter in nematodes. GABA-immunoreactive neurons are mostly found in motor neurons, where they regulate behaviors in the model nematode C. elegans. However, the GABA system in most stylet-bearing nematodes has received little attention. Using immunohistochemistry, we found variation in the pattern of GABA-immunoreactivity among two major plant-parasites and a fungal feeder. Some of these GABA-immunoreactive neurons lack clear homologs to C. elegans. Pharmaceutical assays showed that applying GABA, its agonist, and its antagonist, can disrupt the locomotion behaviors of these nematodes, although sensitivity to a given compound varied between species. Our data suggest that the GABA system is a potential target for the control of plant-parasitic nematodes.

Published: November 2023

Purpose: Social policies for accessing water during droughts have contributed to coexisting with dry periods. One of these policies involves the construction of cisterns through the “Um Milhão de Cisternas” Program (P1MC) and the “Uma Terra e Duas Águas” Program (P1+2). To comprehend the effects of P1+2, this study aims to assess its impacts on the quality of life and environmental sustainability of beneficiaries compared to non-beneficiaries.

Method/design/approach: The research was conducted in the municipalities of Canindé and Itapiúna, Ceará, and data were collected through questionnaires administered to P1+2 beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries. From the data, the Quality of Life Index (QLI) and the Environmental Sustainability Index (ESI) were calculated for beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries.

Results and conclusion: The QLI of beneficiaries was lower than that of non-beneficiaries, suggesting a need for greater monitoring of beneficiaries and potential adaptations. The ESI was higher for beneficiaries, indicating some effect of the program on environmental sustainability. The low ESI for beneficiaries highlights weaknesses in the context of water security in the semiarid region.

Research implications: Contributing to the improvement of P1+2, population quality of life, and environmental sustainability.

Originality/value: It is a novel research in this region, and it is important to generate data about P1+2 to understand its benefits and propose improvements.

Authors: Lastochkina Elena Grigor'evna 
Published: November 2023

The subject of the study is lexical homonyms in the modern Mari language. The material of the scientific work was the data of the 10-volume dictionary of the Mari language, the Mari-Russian dictionary, the author's card file, compiled by selecting materials from Mari works of art, oral folk art and periodicals. The aim of the work is to distinguish lexical homonyms from other groups of homonyms and to determine their conceptual and semantic relationship. At the first stage, a selection of words that belong to the category of lexical homonyms was carried out. At the next stage of the study, all lexical material was analyzed, this group of homonyms was divided into categories, and a quantitative analysis of lexical homonyms was performed. The research method was the analysis of homonyms based on lexicographic sources. A special contribution of the author to the study of the topic is the appeal to a wide range of works and the multidimensional nature of the study of the issue. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that lexical homonyms in the Mari language are analyzed for the first time. The result of the study lies in the conclusion that lexical homonyms are the most common group of homonyms in the Mari language, they can be divided into full and incomplete lexical homonyms, as well as substantive, verbal, adjectival, participial, adverbial and several examples with imitative words were distinguished by their relation to parts of speech. Lexical homonymy occurs among words of the same parts of speech. At the same time, two or more lexical homonyms (full or partial) have an absolute identity of the sound and spelling complex.

Published: November 2023

Objectives:
Data on anthropometry in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) are sparse in India. The study aimed to assess the growth parameters and the effect of age at diagnosis, duration of diabetes, hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c), and insulin regimens on the growth of children with T1D.

Material and Methods:
The study included subjects with T1D between the ages of 1 and 18 years, with a duration of diabetes for at least one year. Height for age Z-scores (HAZ), weight for age Z-scores (WAZ), and body mass index for age Z-scores (BAZ) were calculated using standard Indian Academy of Pediatrics 2015 growth charts for Indian children.The study design was an observational cross-sectional study.

Results:
The number of subjects was 57 (F: M 30:27). The median age (interquartile range) was 13.8 (9–17.1) years, the age at diagnosis was 8 (4–11.5) years, and the mean duration of T1D was 5 (3–7) years. The mean HbA1c was 10.33 ± 1.88%. The growth parameters as assessed by HAZ −0.83 (−1.98–−0.16), WAZ −0.98 (−1.72–−0.11), and BAZ −0.55 (−1.41–0.1) were low in comparison to the population medians. The age at diagnosis, duration of diabetes, and the type of insulin regimen did not significantly impact HAZ and WAZ. Children with HbA1c <8.5% had better HAZ −0.21 (−0.94–0.35) versus −1.07 (−2.07–−0.25), (P = 0.069), and WAZ −0.33 (−0.73–0.23) versus –1.07 (−1.77–−0.29), (P = 0.041) compared to those with HbA1c >8.5%.

Conclusion:
Children with T1D were shorter and leaner than age- and sex-matched controls. Age at diagnosis, duration of diabetes, and insulin regimens did not significantly impact growth, whereas children with lower HbA1c had better HAZ and WAZ.

Authors: Ullah Nazim , Nor Fauzias Mat , Seman Junaidah Abu , Ramli Nur Ainna Binti , Rasedee Ahmad Fadly Nurullah Bin 
Published: November 2023

Purpose: This study contributes to the existing literature by providing a comprehensive overview of the complex relationship between level of bank sizes, factors, M&A performance, and stability for banking sectors, Islamic vs conventional banks, and by highlighting the importance of considering the specific characteristics of the banking industry in GCC and Pakistan.

Theoretical framework: The conceptual framework is developed and designed based on the theory and in line with the literature review. The theories are resource dependency theory and efficiency theory

Design/Methodology/Approach: This paper employs an unbalanced panel data of 24 banks consisting of 10 Islamic banks and 14 conventional banks from GCC and Pakistan, 2004Q1 to 2020Q4. Data is collected from several secondary sources, namely Bloomberg, FitchConnect database, Bank’s financial statement, IMF, and World Bank database.

Findings: Our results revealed that bank size has a significant impact on the M&A performance and stability of banks. However, there is no significant difference between pre- and post- M&A performance. Interestingly, smaller banks outperformed larger and medium-sized banks in terms of M&A performance, while larger and medium-sized banks exhibited better bank stability than smaller banks. Interestingly, while looking at Islamic vs conventional banks point of view results show that operational performance of Islamic is better than conventional banks. On the other hand, stability of conventional bank is better than Islamic banks.

Research, Practical, & Social implications: The limitations of this research should also be acknowledged and future research should expand the number of observations and including more Islamic banks is essential. Moreover, exploring the impact of cultural and regulatory differences on M&A activities is also an interesting avenue for further research. Additionally, future research should investigate the impact of M&A activities on other performance measures, such as efficiency, productivity, and profitability.

Originality/Value: This study aims to fill the theoretical and empirical research gap by examining the impact of level of bank size on pre- and post - M&A activities in the GCC and Pakistan for banking sectors, Islamic banks vs conventional banks
Reorganization of the Warehouse Activities Processes with the Framing of their Problems and Solutions
Authors: Kerouich Abdelilah , Azmani Abdellah , Azmani Monir 
Published: November 2023

Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine and identify goods processing operations in a warehouse and propose a reorganization of tasks to minimize processing time.

Theoretical framework: Current literature highlights the need to reorganize and adapt the operations chain (LOMBA Cédric, 2018). Some areas still need to be studied in depth to improve the supply chain. The literature on warehouse management has not sufficiently studied partial time management or closed-loop time management in the supply chain (CLSC) from goods-in to goods-out. The potential links between the risks of lost time and the management of the quality of the goods handling service have not been studied in depth.

Design/Methodology/Approach: The in-depth analysis of recent international studies published on warehouse management and the supply chain enables us to identify the studies that have the greatest impact on research.

Findings: The result of this work is the development of a double typology, one linked to the chain of operations and the other to the constraints linked to the CLSC in a warehouse. Tools will be applied to diagnose the constraints and factors adversely goods handling operations.

Research, Practical & Social implications: To help logisticians and researchers, we have proposed an operational reformulation of a warehouse, enriched with a logical framework linking the problems and their potential solutions.

Originality/Value: The article proposes an original vision to improve the spatio-temporal organization of warehouses, by synthesizing its different entities, operations, and processes while presenting all the existing problems and identifying their possible solutions.
