Microphylacinus

description: Microphylacinus gen.nov.
Type species. Microphylacinus verendus sp. nov.; gender masculine.
Etymology. The genus name is derived from Greek prefix Micro and refers to the body size of Microphylacinus verendus.
Diagnosis. The genus is most closely related to Phylacinus due to the structure of aedeagal tegmen (Fig. 1–3) and by the appearance of at least one row of punctures on pseudopleuron.
Microphylacinus is similar to the Phylacinus, Zadenos LAPORTE, 1840 and Loensus LUCAS, 1920 in the structure of the tarsi (preapical tarsomere reduced, fig. 11).
Microphylacinus differs from Phylacinus by following characters: tegmen of aedeagus is fully divided in to two parts by the lateral gap (Fig. 1–3), fronto-clypeal suture forms a distinct sulcus (Fig. 20) and by small body size (3.8–4.6 mm).
Description. See description for Microphylacinus verendus sp. nov. Distribution. The North coast of Madagascar (Fig. 47).

description: Out of 1150 Mha (million hectares) of forest designated primarily for production purposes in 2020, plantations accounted for 11 % (131 Mha) of this area and fulfilled more than 33 % of the global industrial roundwood demand. However, adding additional timber plantations to meet increasing timber demand intensifies competition for scarce land resources between different land uses such as food, feed, livestock and timber production. Despite the significance of plantations with respect to roundwood production, their importance in meeting the long-term timber demand and the implications of plantation expansion for overall land-use dynamics have not been studied in detail, in particular regarding the competition for land between agriculture and forestry in existing land-use models. This paper describes the extension of the modular, open-source land system Model of Agricultural Production and its Impact on the Environment (MAgPIE) using a detailed representation of forest land, timber production and timber demand dynamics. These extensions allow for a better understanding of the land-use dynamics (including competition for land) and the associated land-use change emissions of timber production. We show that the spatial cropland patterns differ when timber production is accounted for, indicating that timber plantations compete with cropland for the same scarce land resources. When plantations are established on cropland, it causes cropland expansion and deforestation elsewhere. Using the exogenous extrapolation of historical roundwood production from plantations, future timber demand and plantation rotation lengths, we model the future spatial expansion of forest plantations. As a result of increasing timber demand, we show a 177 % increase in plantation area by the end of the century (+171 Mha in 1995–2100). We also observe (in our model results) that the increasing demand for timber amplifies the scarcity of land, which is indicated by shifting agricultural land-use patterns and increasing yields from cropland compared with a case without forestry. Through the inclusion of new forest plantation and natural forest dynamics, our estimates of land-related CO2 emissions better match with observed data, in particular the gross land-use change emissions and carbon uptake (via regrowth), reflecting higher deforestation with the expansion of managed land and timber production as well as higher regrowth in natural forests and plantations.

description: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterised by the formation of Lewy bodies and progressive loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra. Lewy bodies mainly consist of α-synuclein, which plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of PD. The α-synuclein is encoded by the SNCA gene and is the first identified gene associated with hereditary PD. Currently, there are at least six disease-associated mutations in α-synuclein that cause dominantly inherited familial forms of PD. Targeted expression of human SNCA.WT/SNCA.A30P/SNCA.A53T gene in Drosophila melanogaster over specific times employing a temperature-dependent UAS/GAL4 – GAL80 system allows for the evaluation of neurodegenerative processes. In this study, SNCA was expressed only in the adult stage of Drosophila development for 1 or 2 weeks, followed by repression of gene expression for the rest of the fly’s life. It was demonstrated that the level of pathology significantly depends on the duration of α-synuclein expression. SNCA gene expression over a longer period of time caused the death of DA neurons, decreased levels of dopamine and locomotor ability. In this case, the observed neurodegenerative processes correlated with the accumulation of α-synuclein in the Drosophila brain. Importantly, repression of α-synuclein expression led to elimination of the soluble protein fraction, in contrast to the insoluble fraction. No further significant development of characteristic signs of pathology was observed after the α-synuclein expression was blocked. Thus, we suggest that reduction of α-synuclein expression alone contributes to slowing down the development of PD-like symptoms.

description: The Hereditary Spastic Paraplegias (HSPs) are a group of clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorders characterized by length dependent degeneration of the corticospinal tracts. Genetic data related to HSPs are limited from India. We aimed to comprehensively analyse the phenotypic characteristics and genetic basis of a large cohort of HSP from India. Patients with HSP phenotype were evaluated for their clinical features, electrophysiological and radiological abnormalities. Genetic analyses were carried out by clinical exome sequencing (n = 52) and targeted sequencing (n = 5). The cohort comprised of 57 probands (M:F 40:17, age: 3.5–49 years). Based on the phenotype, the cohort could be categorized as ‘pure’ (n = 15, 26.3%) and ‘complicated’ (n = 42, 73.7%) HSP. Brain MRI showed thin corpus callosum (n = 10), periventricular hyperintensities (n = 20), cerebral atrophy (n = 3), cerebellar atrophy (n = 3) and diffuse atrophy (n = 4). Sixty-seven variants representing 40 genes were identified including 47 novel variants. Forty-eight patients (84.2%) had variants in genes previously implicated in HSP and other spastic paraplegia syndromes (SPG genes = 24, non-SPG genes = 24); among these 13 had variations in more than one gene and 12 patients (21.0%) had variations in genes implicated in potentially treatable/modifiable metabolic disorders (MTHFR = 8, MTRR = 1, ARG1 = 2 and ABCD1 = 1). In nine patients, no genetic variants implicated in spastic paraplegia phenotype were identified. Thus, the present study from India highlights the phenotypic complexities and spectrum of genetic variations in patients with HSP including those implicated in metabolically modifiable disorders. It sets a platform for carrying out functional studies to validate the causal role of the novel variants and variants of uncertain significance.

description: It has been widely reported that dysregulated long-chain noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are closely associated with epilepsy. This study aimed to probe the function of lncRNA growth arrest-specific 5 (GAS5), microRNA (miR)-219 and Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII)γ/N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) pathway in epilepsy. Epileptic cell and animal models were constructed using magnesium deficiency treatment and diazepam injection, respectively. GAS5 and miR-219 expressions in epileptic cell and animal models were determined using qRT-PCR assay. The protein levels of CaMKIIγ, NMDAR and apoptosis-related proteins levels were assessed by western blot. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was employed to determine cell proliferation. Besides, TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-8 levels were analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Furthermore, cell apoptosis was evaluated using TUNEL staining and flow cytometric analysis. Finally, the binding relationship between GAS5 and EZH2 was verified using RIP and ChIP assay. Our results revealed that GAS5 was markedly upregulated in epileptic cell and animal models, while miR-219 was down-regulated. GAS5 knockdown dramatically increased cell proliferation of epileptic cells, whereas suppressed inflammation and the apoptosis. Furthermore, our results showed that GAS5 epigenetically suppressed transcriptional miR-219 expression via binding to EZH2. miR-219 mimics significantly enhanced cell proliferation of epileptic cells, while inhibited inflammation and the apoptosis, which was neutralized by CaMKIIγ overexpression. Finally, miR-219 inhibition reversed the effects of GAS5 silence on epileptic cells, which was eliminated by CaMKIIγ inhibition. In conclusion, GAS5 affected inflammatory response and cell apoptosis of epilepsy via inhibiting miR-219 and further regulating CaMKIIγ/NMDAR pathway (See graphic summary in Supplementary Material).

description: Parapinnixa Holmes, 1894
Type species. By monotypy Pinnixa? nitida Lockington, 1876.
Emended diagnosis (modified from Rathbun, 1918; modification indicated by underlining). Carapace calcified, much broader than long, anterior margin nearly straight, frontal process deflexed. Orbits nearly round. Antennules oblique or transversally plicate, fossettes communicating with each other beneath front. Buccal area small, very broadly triangular. External third maxilliped with ischium rudimentary, merus large, sub-triangular; palp two or three articles, terminal segment joined to tip of preceding one; exopod, when present, without flagellum. First leg largest, others successively diminishing in length, last pair very small. Abdomen of female, small, not covering sternum. Abdomen of male with telson rounded.
Distribution and host. Atlantic Ocean: North Carolina to Brazil. Pacific Ocean: California to Galápagos Is. A presumed extralimital record to SE Siberia. With Polychaeta;? Echinoidea (Schmitt et al. 1973; Thoma et al. 2005).
Taxonomic remarks. Despite having MXP3 with two articles, several other outstanding features support the inclusion of our material in the genus Parapinnixa. These include a carapace broader than long and calcified, buccal region very small and triangular, MXP3 with rudimentary ischium, merus larger and triangular and the relative length of the WL 1> 2> 3> 4. However, the generic characters MXP3 palp with three articles inserted end to end and exopod without a flagellum do not apply to this species, which has a palp with only two articles without an exopod. Instead of erecting a new, and probably paraphyletic, genus for this atypical species, we chose to emend the diagnosis of Parapinnixa to accommodate it.
Other genera of Pinnotheridae with the palp of the MXP3 composed by two or three segments include Calyptraeotheres Campos, 1990 (see Campos 1999; Hernández-Ávila & Campos 2006) and Dissodactylus Smith, 1870 (see Griffith 1987).

description: We give a brief overview of artificial neural networks (ANNs), focusing on Kohonen networks (KNs). The two kinds of KNs will be described in detail: the unsupervised self-organizing map (SOM) and the supervised learning vector quantization (LVQ). We then apply these algorithms to two astronomical classification problems: the classification of broad absorption line quasars (BALQSOs) and of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). In the context of BALQSOs, we find a BALQSO fraction of 10.4%, and compile a catalogue from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) using the supervised LVQ. This is currently the most complete BALQSO catalogue. We then apply the unsupervised SOM to GRB light curves obtained from the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE). Using only shape-dependent variables, we find that two classes are recovered: single-pulsed bursts (SPBs) and multi-pulsed bursts (MPBs). We show that these two network classes also have different observational properties that are independent of light curve shape (T90 and fluence), suggesting an intrinsic difference between the two. We conclude with some attempts to correlate our GRB result to previous studies and suggest improvements for future work.
A Cascading Mean-Field Approach to the Calculation of Magnetization Fields in Magnetoactive Elastomers

description: We consider magnetoactive elastomer samples based on the elastic matrix and magnetizable particle inclusions. The application of an external magnetic field to such composite samples causes the magnetization of particles, which start to interact with each other. This interaction is determined by the magnetization field, generated not only by the external magnetic field but also by the magnetic fields arising in the surroundings of interacting particles. Due to the scale invariance of magnetic interactions (O(r−3) in d=3 dimensions), a comprehensive description of the local as well as of the global effects requires a knowledge about the magnetization fields within individual particles and in mesoscopic portions of the composite material. Accordingly, any precise calculation becomes technically infeasible for a specimen comprising billions of particles arranged within macroscopic sample boundaries. Here, we show a way out of this problem by presenting a greatly simplified, but accurate approximation approach for the computation of magnetization fields in the composite samples. Based on the dipole model to magnetic interactions, we introduce the cascading mean-field description of the magnetization field by separating it into three contributions on the micro-, meso-, and macroscale. It is revealed that the contributions are nested into each other, as in the Matryoshka’s toy. Such a description accompanied by an appropriate linearization scheme allows for an efficient and transparent analysis of magnetoactive elastomers under rather general conditions.

High-energy astrophysics

description: Within this thesis are discussed two main topics of contemporary astrophysics. The first is that of machine learning algorithms for astronomy whilst the second is that of magnetic cataclysmic variables (mCVs). To begin, an overview is given of ISINA: INTEGRAL Scouce Identifiction Network Algorithm. This machine learning algorithm, using random forests, is applied to the IBIS/ISGRI data set in order to ease the production of unbiased future soft gamma-ray source catalogues. The feature extraction process on an initial candidate list is described together with feature merging. Three trainng and testing sets are created in order to deal with the diverse time-scales encountered when dealing with the gamma-ray sky: one dealing with faint persistent source recognition, one dealing with strong persistent sources and a final one dealing with transients. For the latter, a new transient detection technique is introduced and described: the transient matrix. Finally the performance of the network is assessed and discussed using the testing set and some illustrative source examples. ISINA is also compared to the more conventional approach of visual inspection. Next mCVs are discussed, and in particular the properties arising from a hard X-ray selected sample which has proven remarkably efficient in detecting intermediate polars and asynchronous polars, two of the rarest type of cataclysmic variables (CVs). This thesis focuses particularly on the link between hard X-ray properties and spin/orbital periods. To this end, a new sample of these objects is constructed by cross-corelating candidate sources detected in INTEGRAL/IBIS observations against catalogues of known CVs. Also included in the analysis are hard X-ray Observations from Swift/BAT and SUZAKU/HXD in order to make the study more complete. It is found that most hard X-ray detected mCVs have Pspin/Porb<0.1 above the period gap. In this respect, attention is given to the very low number of detected systems in any ban between Pspin/Porb = 0.3 and Pspin/Porb = 1 and the apparent peak of the Pspin/Porb distribution at about 0.1. The observational features of the Pspin - Porb plane are discussed in the context of mCV evolution scenarios. Also presented is evidence for correlations between hard X-ray spectral hardness and Pspin, Porb and Pspin/Porb. An attempt to explain the observed correlations is made in th context of mCV evolution and accretion footpring geometrirs on the whit dwarf surface.

description: In the last decades, numerous stimuli-responsive polymers have been developed and investigated regarding their switching properties. In particular, thermoresponsive polymers, which form a miscibility gap with the ambient solvent with a lower or upper critical demixing point depending on the temperature, have been intensively studied in solution. For the application of such polymers in novel sensors, drug delivery systems or as multifunctional coatings, they typically have to be transferred into specific arrangements, such as micelles, polymer films or grafted nanoparticles. However, it turns out that the thermodynamic concept for the phase transition of free polymer chains fails, when thermoresponsive polymers are assembled into such sterically confined architectures. Whereas many published studies focus on synthetic aspects as well as individual applications of thermoresponsive polymers, the underlying structure-property relationships governing the thermoresponse of sterically constrained assemblies, are still poorly understood. Furthermore, the clear majority of publications deals with polymers that exhibit a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior, with PNIPAAM as their main representative. In contrast, for polymer arrangements with an upper critical solution temperature (UCST), there is only limited knowledge about preparation, application and precise physical understanding of the phase transition. This review article provides an overview about the current knowledge of thermoresponsive polymers with limited mobility focusing on UCST behavior and the possibilities for influencing their thermoresponsive switching characteristics. It comprises star polymers, micelles as well as polymer chains grafted to flat substrates and particulate inorganic surfaces. The elaboration of the physicochemical interplay between the architecture of the polymer assembly and the resulting thermoresponsive switching behavior will be in the foreground of this consideration.

description: Matrix augmentation method is developed further and described transparently for enabling more specific input-output analyses of bio- vs. fossil-based sectors. A number of economic and environmental effects of substitution can be estimated, compared, and managed. While the model was applied for the first time to the German plastics industry, it can be well integrated into existing bioeconomy monitorings to represent substitution in sectors and countries. • Original matrix augmentation method is described in much detail for the first time considering available data for bio- and fossil-based industries. • Particular attention is paid to balancing cost and benefit in model building so that indicators can be integrated in a continuous monitoring of the bioeconomy. Hence, industry data is prefered to process data whenever possible. • Input structures of bio-based imports are considered in single-region input-output analysis.
The use of cloud data of IRS form 990 to advance research in not-for-profit institutions
Creators: name: Wu, Chengzhang
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: This dissertation consists of three chapters based on IRS Form 990, the return of organization exempted from income tax. Chapter one introduces building a new database that includes all the e-filed IRS Form 990 starting from 2011. The research data of the other two chapters is based on this new database. IRS Form 990 provides a rich set of information about not-for-profit organizations. Historically, these returns were publicly available in PDF format or through information aggregators that provided only part of the data. Beginning in 2011, forms that were electronically filed with the IRS have been available to the public in an XML format. The first chapter of this dissertation follows the design science paradigm to describe accessing the forms from AWS (Amazon Web Services), examining XML structures, and creating an updatable database. The resulting database was then used to demonstrate that the process provides information accessible for simple and complex inquiries. This database provides researchers access to data that has been out-of-reach and enables extensive data analysis.The second chapter of this dissertation focuses on the not-for-profit’s governance level, which is measured by several responses in Form 990. Three hypotheses are proposed and tested. Specifically, this essay examines the quantitative association between both the level and the nature of asset diversion and corperate governance, as well as evaluates governance in the period after the diversion was reported. The research data used in the second essay is derived from the database built in the first study to demonstrate the usefulness of the Form 990 Database developed in chapter one. The second chapter of this dissertation examines the qualitative association between the level of asset diversion and the governance level.The third chapter of this dissertation focuses on the dissolution of not-for-profit organizations and attempts to use several supervised machine learning algorithms to predict the discontinued operation of not-for-profit organizations. The accurate prediction would allow the donors to allocate their economic resources more rationally. The predicting factors are primarily important financial factors derived from prior studies. Three research questions are proposed and developed in this chapter. The prediction performances of Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, Random Forest, Neural Network, Support Vector Machine, and Bayes Net are compared.

description: Background: Bogs are unique ecosystems inhabited by distinctive, coevolved assemblages of organisms, which play a global role for carbon storage, climate stability, water quality and biodiversity. To understand ecology and plant–microbe co-occurrence in bogs, we selected 12 representative species of bryophytes and vascular plants and subjected them to a shotgun metagenomic sequencing approach. We explored specific plant–microbe associations as well as functional implications of the respective communities on their host plants and the bog ecosystem. Results: Microbial communities were shown to be functionally adapted to their plant hosts; a higher colonization specificity was found for vascular plants. Bryophytes that commonly constitute the predominant Sphagnum layer in bogs were characterized by a higher bacterial richness and diversity. Each plant group showed an enrichment of distinct phylogenetic and functional bacterial lineages. Detailed analyses of the metabolic potential of 28 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) supported the observed functional specification of prevalent bacteria. We found that novel lineages of Betaproteobacteria and Actinobacteria in the bog environment harboured genes required for carbon fixation via RuBisCo. Interestingly, several of the highly abundant bacteria in both plant types harboured pathogenicity potential and carried similar virulence factors as found with corresponding human pathogens. Conclusions: The unexpectedly high specificity of the plant microbiota reflects intimate plant–microbe interactions and coevolution in bog environments. We assume that the detected pathogenicity factors might be involved in coevolution processes, but the finding also reinforces the role of the natural plant microbiota as a potential reservoir for human pathogens. Overall, the study demonstrates how plant–microbe assemblages can ensure stability, functioning and ecosystem health in bogs. It also highlights the role of bog ecosystems as a playground for plant–microbe coevolution. [MediaObject not available: see fulltext.] © 2021, The Author(s).
title: The role of community engagement in protected area management and governance: a case study at the Gulf Island National Park Reserve, Sidney B.C., Canada
Creators: name: Kusi-Kyei, Vincent

Subjects: subject: Natural resources conservation areas

description: Environmental degradation around the world is significant and includes loss of habitat, declining species, and pollution (Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, 2005). Protected Areas (PAs) are one strategy for addressing these concerns. However, PAs are challenged by the need to relish conservational principles while also addressing stakeholders diverging interests and concerns. This requires the exploration of the role of community engagement in PA. While the literature showcases some case studies and anecdotal evidence about community engagement, there is still limited understanding of the impact of community engagement on PA management and decision making processes. As part of the Protected Areas and Poverty Reduction project , this study provides a qualitative case study of Gulf Islands National Park Reserve (GINPR) to explore: a) the relationships that exist between community members and the GINPR; b) the extent that local community members are engaged in GINPR management and governance processes; and c) how local community engagement influenced GINPR management and governance processes. The study discuses five themes: reaching conservation goals-stewardship, relationship and sustainability; structural balances power, institutional representation; approaches and objectives of engagement; communication-media and publicity; and workforce diversity-collaborative partnership. The study concludes that Parks Canada views management as an internal exercise generated directed by conservation agencies irrespective of the relationship of the local communities. Hence, while local communities (FNs and IR) wish to work together (partner) with Parks Canada, their influence on decision-making and management strategies is limited mainly to a consultation role. In the future, a co-management approach as a means of shared governance is recommended.

description: In this study, the split window (SW) method was applied for land surface temperature (LST) retrieval using Landsat 8 in two apple orchards (Glindow, Altlandsberg). Four images were acquired during high demand of irrigation water from July to August 2018. After pre-processing images, the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and LST were calculated by red, NIR, and thermal bands. The results were validated by interpolated infrared thermometer (IRT) measurements using the inverse distance weighting (IDW) method. In the next step, the temperature vegetation index (TVDI) was calculated based on the trapezoidal NDVI/LST space to determine the water status of apple trees in the case studies. Results show good agreement between interpolated LST using IRT measurements and remotely sensed LST calculation using SW in all satellite overpasses, where the absolute mean error was between 0.08 to 4.00 K and root mean square error (RMSE) values ranged between 0.71 and 4.23 K. The TVDI spatial distribution indicated that the trees suffered from water stress on 7 and 23 July and 8 August 2018 in Glindow apple orchard with the mean value of 0.69, 0.57, and 0.73, whereas in the Altlandsberg orchard on 17 August, the irrigation system compensated the water deficit as indicated by the TVDI value of 0.34. Moreover, a negative correlation between TVDI and vegetation water content (VWC) with correlation coefficient (r) of −0.81 was observed. The corresponding r for LST and VWC was equal to −0.89, which shows the inverse relation between water status and temperature-based indices. The results indicate that the LST and/or TVDI calculation using the proposed methods can be effectively applied for monitoring tree water status and support irrigation management in orchards using Landsat 8 satellite images without requiring ground measurements.
title: The marketing and management of Tunisia's past: visitor experience and narratives in historic sites and heritage tourism
Creators: name: Borgi, Seif

Subjects: subject: Heritage tourism

description: This research was one of the first of its kind. The purpose of this study was to examine the global marketing and management strategies of heritage tourism in Tunisia with a specific focus on the archaeological site of Carthage. This study employed a mix method approach using semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders and face-to-face and online surveys with visitors. The interviews were used to identify the strategies and activities undertaken to develop visitor experience in heritage settings, and promote heritage products and destinations. The survey questionnaires were used to measure visitor satisfaction in relation to their expectations and marketing narratives used in the promotion of the archaeological site of Carthage. This helped identify possible gaps between established site marketing strategies and the expectations of visitors. This study emphasized the role of civil society and the private sector in preserving and promoting local heritage. The research uncovered some of the challenges facing the sector in relation to politics, finance, management, and external events. It also reviewed the relations between the key heritage operators from the public sector, private sector, and civil society and the cooperation challenges they experience. The research was conducted by a Tunisian graduate student with a background in business administration and marketing and a passion for heritage and history. It was completed in a time of crisis for the tourism sector in Tunisia and may provide a better understanding of the challenges facing heritage tourism and how to overcome them.

description: This landscape review focuses on intellectual access, i.e. providing guidance for finding and sharing literary data, while D6.1 approaches the task from a more technological side, collecting and analyzing literary corpora, available formats, tools, and metadata in order to create an exploratory catalogue / inventory of literary corpora and to provide a transformation matrix/toolbox for solving common issues. Yet we coordinate our efforts – beginning with the compilation of the table of literary collections – therefore one can regard these as two sides of the same coin. The review’s point of departure is the abundance of existing data and their diversity or heterogeneity as regards corpus design and underlying concepts, for example the definitions of text (is it a source, an edition, a data set? see chapter 3), the purpose of a corpus (e.g. general, reference, or monitoring corpora, special purpose corpora; see chapter 4), central considerations or criteria regarding the construction of a corpus (sampling, balancing, representativeness, annotation model(s), data format(s); see likewise chapter 4). How can I go about obtaining data without transgressing ethical or legal boundaries (see chapter 5)? We ask: How can we assist literary scholars in searching for and finding existing data that are relevant to their own research questions? And additionally, what kind of research question is relevant concerning the present-day state of the data landscape and literariness and textuality?
title: “Where else would you find blacktop trails to a 130-some year old ravine”: negotiated authenticity at the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument

Subjects: subject: Heritage tourism

description: Heritage tourism is an industry fundamentally bound to the presentation of history for tourist consumption. As such, the concept of authenticity is a central focus of heritage tourism experiences. The two predominant views of authenticity, objectivism and constructivism, respectively circumscribe authenticity as a historically grounded concept, bound to toured objects that is measured by its accuracy to the original, as well as a socially constructed notion that is subjectively experienced by tourists. Objective forms of authenticity have been positively linked to heritage tourists’ motivations, expenditures and experiences. However, juxtaposing this view, constructivist ideology holds that objective authenticity is challenging to define and express as a singularity, and that symbolic cultural representation is more important to tourism experiences. Between these opposing views, the negotiated view of authenticity seeks to strike a balance between the objectivist/constructivist paradigms, allowing for both historically grounded and socially constructed elements to be experienced by tourists. The purpose of this research was to explore heritage tourists’ experiences with negotiated authenticity at the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument. The Little Bighorn Battlefield is a heritage tourism site that presents both historical facts and symbolic cultural meaning for tourism consumption, where neither the views of objectivism, nor constructivism adequately describe tourism experiences. The research employed case study methodology, utilizing semi-structured interviews and unstructured observations conducted at the battlefield, as well as the content analysis of online reviews to explore the experiences of tourists with five distinct manifestations of authenticity (Chronis & Hampton, 2008). The findings of this research suggest that tourists’ experience negotiated authenticity in three forms: historical accuracy, socially constructed representations, and individual meaning making.
