Multilingüismo y turismo: visiones desde la península de Yucatán y Mallorca
Authors: Uth Melanie , Vanrell Bosch María del Mar 
Published: October 2023

El turismo es un fenómeno territorial de contacto lingüístico-cultural que tiene impactos importantes tanto en las sociedades receptoras como, aunque en menor medida, en las sociedades de origen de los turistas. Aparte de las repercusiones territoriales y medioambientales, la práctica turística deja su huella en la cultura, la socio-demografía y la identidad de los destinos turísticos. Esta contribución aborda la relación entre el turismo y el multilingüismo, comparando el litoral del estado de Quintana Roo, en la península de Yucatán, México, con la isla de Mallorca.
El objetivo principal de nuestro trabajo es identificar tanto los puntos en común como las diferencias entre las dos regiones en el marco de los aspectos sociolingüísticos mencionados anteriormente, con el fin de distinguir las dinámicas lingüísticas regionales relacionadas con el turismo, por un lado, de aquellas dinámicas que operan a nivel global o transatlántico, por el otro. De esta manera, esperamos contribuir a un entendimiento más profundo de las dinámicas sociolingüísticas características para cada uno de los dos contextos.

Determinants of Bribery and Corruption in Public Service Delivery: A Case Study in Nepal
Authors: Joshi Ganesh Raj , Dangal Rameshwor 
Published: October 2023

Bribery is a multi-faceted phenomenon prevalent in Nepal's public service delivery. The amount of bribe provided differs by type and nature of services. This paper aims to assess the level of corruption in Nepal. It analyses the additional amount the service receivers supplied to the public officials and their determinants using logistic regression. It uses cross-sectional data collected by the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority in 2017 from 1668 service receivers who received service out of 3400 applicants seeking different public services. It is revealed that the CPI score is 34, which indicates that the level of corruption is high in Nepal. Among the service receivers, 39% provided bribes to public officials and used intermediaries to complete their work, increasing public service costs. Analysing the determinants of giving fixes shows that gender, education, number of times visiting public offices, perception about the staff behaviour, age and the occupation of the service receiver were significant variables. These findings imply that it is crucial to promote integrity and accountability among public officials by enforcing and monitoring the compliance mechanism and providing different benefits to motivate them to deliver quality services on time. It is equally essential to develop transparent approaches and tools for service delivery.

Authors: Hudáková Mária , Masár Matej , Buganová Katarína , Môcová Lenka 
Published: October 2023

SME owners and managers are intuitively aware of risks but do not make sufficient efforts to assess them realistically and implement strategies to reduce them. The relationship between SME risk perception and the consistency of this perception during the length of their business has not been investigated yet. The main aim of this article is to identify the most significant risks in the SMEs, to analyze the dependence among the degree of intensity of the observed financial, market and economic risks and the SME timeframe by selected statistical methods and tools. Building upon the empirical research implemented in 2017- 2018 and 2019-2020, it is possible to consider the market, financial and economic risks as the crucial risks negatively affecting the current business environment of the SMEs. The secondary aim of the article is to evaluate and compare the results of our research with the results of identical investigations in the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland. Drawing from these findings, market risks affect the SME business environment highly negatively and are considered the most significant risks in all the examined countries. SME entrepreneurs in the V4 countries should thus increasingly support the process of applying risk management to ensure higher stability, performance and resilience of their businesses. The results are valuable for SMEs and institutions providing business support to strengthen the competitiveness of entrepreneurs in the V4 countries. Concerning their impact, they are significant at the national and international level of the V4 countries and can assist SMEs in gradually moving towards the global trends in this field.
Action Strategies of Start-ups
Authors: Slávik Štefan , Zagoršek Branislav 
Published: October 2023

There are quite a lot of opinions and little knowledge about the strategies of start-ups. The notions on this topic are inconsistent and with little agreement. Hypothetical works predominate and, although logically consistent, there is no empirical research that would provide verified scientific knowledge. Business strategies of start-ups should be a systematic object of research because start-ups have to compensate for a number of their natural limitations (weaknesses) with practical conduct that has the nature of an action strategy. The goal of the research is to identify a typology of start-up strategies that would clarify and specify the strategizing of start-ups based on their actual action. The research was conducted on a sample of 147 start-ups. Methods of descriptive statistics, factor analysis, hierarchical clustering, and ANOVA were used to analyse the research sample. The criteria describing the action of start-ups were divided (reduced) into two strategic dimensions using factor analysis, the combination of which, using clustering by the Ward method, there were identified four types of action strategies of start-ups: proactive leader, waiting leader, proactive follower, waiting follower. The main knowledge contribution of the research lies in the fact that the seemingly disorganized, spontaneous, and even chaotic action got clear contours that will allow a better understanding of the behaviour of start-ups. The research also included an assessment of the performance of the identified types of strategies.

Published: October 2023

Due to the low melting temperature, the glazes based on the Bi2O3-B2O3-ZnO system are used as coatings on the surface of industrial glass substrates. Moreover, the composition of these coatings does not contain PbO, meeting the optical and environmental properties requirements. In this study, TiO2 was used in the Bi2O3-B2O3-ZnO glaze system to improve its photocatalytic ability. This can be considered a four – component glass system Bi2O3-B2O3-ZnO-TiO2. The heating microscopy results show that the melting temperature of the glaze system is 606 °C. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results show that the TiO2 polyhedra are located independently in the structure without participating in forming a glass network. Thanks to that, the photocatalytic properties of TiO2 are maintained. The X-ray diffraction patterns results show that the formed TiO2 nanocrystals are rutile and anatase crystals. The results of determining the band gap energy using UV-Vis show that the band gap energy of the base glaze system increases with the addition of TiO2. The methylene blue decomposition results also showed that the ability to decompose organic increased when TiO2 was added to the glaze coating. The characteristics such as melting temperature, microstructure, and photocatalytic capacity of Bi2O3-B2O3-ZnO-TiO2 white glazes (5 and 10 % weight of TiO2) also were indicated in this paper.

Authors: Wadhwa Dhaarna , Monga Avneet , Kumar Neha , Khullar Geeti , Karmakar Sanchita , Khunger Niti 
Published: October 2023

Background: Severe acute respiratory virus syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was responsible for coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. As patients recovered from COVID-19 infection, hair loss was increasingly observed as a distressing symptom.
Methods: This was a prospective cross-sectional study of patients with post COVID-19 hair loss between July to December 2021 at a tertiary care centre. Detailed history, clinical examination, trichoscopy and biochemical tests were performed and recorded. COVID-19 disease severity was assessed based on duration of COVID-19 infection and place of management.
Results: The study included 120 patients with mean age being 39.6 years. Majority of the patients were females, treated at home and had COVID-19 infection for >2 weeks. Mean visual analog scale (VAS) score for stress was 5.25. Vitamin D deficiency was present in 56.7% and low ferritin in 30% of cases. Mean time of onset of hair loss post COVID-19 was 49 days. Patients mainly presented with diffuse hair loss. Trichodynia was present in 15.8% of cases. The degree of hair loss was severe in 55.8% of the subjects. Positive hair pull test was seen in 65% of patients. Most common trichoscopic features included single hair follicles’ (81.7%) and vellus hair >10% (60%).
Conclusions: The mean time of onset of hair loss post COVID-19 infection was less than 2 months. Majority patients had diffuse pattern and severe degree of hair loss. Trichoscopy can aid in unmasking co-existing patterned hair loss in patients presenting clinically with diffuse hair loss.

Published: October 2023

Introduction: Cytokines are key mediators in immunological and inflammatory conditions, including chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU).
Objectives: To investigate Th1, Th2, and Th17 cytokine profiles in CSU and to evaluate the possible effect of omalizumab treatment.
Methods: Patients who were followed up for CSU, as well as healthy volunteers, were included in the study. To assess urticaria activity, the 7-day-Urticaria Activity Score (UAS-7), the Urticaria Control Test (UCT), and the Chronic Urticaria Quality of Life Questionnaire (CU-QoL) were filled. Serum levels of IL-6, IL-17, IL-31, eotaxin, RANTES, TNF-α, and TSLP were analyzed by ELISA and compared in CSU and control groups. The patients were analyzed in two groups as the omalizumab group and the non-omalizumab group based on their treatment status.
Results: Total IgE, ESR, CRP, RANTES, and TNF-a were significantly different in the overall comparison of the three groups: CSU-receiving omalizumab, CSU-not receiving omalizumab, and control groups (P <0.01, 0.015, <0.01, <0.01 and <0.01 respectively). Total IgE, CRP, RANTES, and TNF-α values were similar in those who received and did not receive omalizumab, yet these biomarkers were significantly higher in both groups than in the control group (P < 0.05). Statistical significance in ESR was observed only between the CSU-receiving omalizumab group and the control group (P = 0.01). Within the CSU patients, there was a slight but significant correlation between UCT and TNF-α (P = 0.008, r = 0.32) and IL-17 (P = 0.06, r = 0.33) levels.
Conclusions: The investigated cytokine profile in CSU patients may differ from healthy controls, particularly with the higher levels of RANTES and TNF-α, and omalizumab treatment does not seem to affect that profile in CSU patients.

Authors: Chowdhury Md. Hasan Maksud , Habib Md. Mamun , Md. Sidin Samsinar 
Published: October 2023

The agricultural sector throughout the world has seen shifting significantly by suitably using e-technology. A good number of studies have been conducted on agriculture and food security. The growth rate of world organic farming or business increases to more than the growth rate of traditional agriculture. In Bangladesh the pace of growth of organic agriculture is insignificant. The organic agriculture or organic supply chain in Bangladesh was scarcely studied. Hence, an intensive study is needed for the organic agriculture industry to pursue the organic supply chain that leads to a promising growth of organic business. A great deal of research has been conducted to explore the factors that may influence the organic supply chain and growth of the organic business. Several theories such as the diffusion of innovation theory, theory of planned behavior, marketing system and price of organic products, and quality function deployment have been studied and proposed to enhance the understanding of the issue. The integration of all these literature and theories has attracted the researcher’s attention. Thus, this study aims to explore the influence of information systems, e-technology, and the dynamics of the actors (consumer, retailer, intermediaries, transporter, farmer, and basic suppliers) on the organic supply chain enhancing the growth of the organic business. By adopting secondary data with collected data (primary data) using self-administrated questionnaires the research work was evaluated. A total of 389 responses from the organic agriculture industrial actors, consumers, and transporters were collected using stratified random sampling methods. To inspect and analyze data, Path Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) techniques were used with AMOS. The results of the study indicated that the proposed model provided a good understanding of the factors influencing the organic supply chain. From the result, it was also revealed that the organic supply chain has a significant impact on the growth of organic farming and organic consumers and the performance of organic businesses. The research objectives of this study were accomplished and all research hypotheses were supported. This study theoretically offers useful information and collected data might help to further research relevant to the organic supply chain. In addition, the study finds a way to foster a better understanding and knowledge of the organic supply chain. It is encouraged to do future research to study the factors and information and impact of the organic supply chain from various aspects.Keywords: organic supply chain, e-technology, organic agriculture, growth of organic business, SEM, AMOS
