description: Este artigo pretende avaliar o modo como alguns agentes do Turismo e da Cultura em Sintra encaram a sua integração numa rede de negócios centrada num itinerário turístico-literário em torno da obra Os Maias de Eça de Queirós. Pretende averiguar: o grau de networking que as entidades entrevistadas estabelecem com outras entidades; a disposição dos entrevistados para integrar uma rede envolvendo stakeholders do sector público, privado e sem fins lucrativos, do Turismo e da Cultura; as potenciais vantagens e inconvenientes decorrentes desta parceria; e o modo como a relação entre Turismo e Cultura é percebida pelos entrevistados. Para tal recorreu-se a revisão de literatura, entrevistas semi-estruturadas a oito agentes do Turismo e da Cultura do sector público, privado e sem fins lucrativos em Sintra e análise de conteúdo para extrair conclusões relativamente aos dados recolhidos. Conclui-se que há uma renitência considerável por parte de agentes culturais em assumir objectivos não estritamente culturais, nomeadamente, objectivos lucrativos. No entanto, a maior parte dos entrevistados vê a sua integração num itinerário turístico-literário desta natureza como vantajosa. Por fim, são apresentadas várias sugestões para estimular a relação entre Turismo e Cultura, para que possam ser formadas redes de negócios equilibradas, que contribuam para o desenvolvimento dos destinos.

description: My final thesis project is called the "Smart Tourist Recommendation System," and it's all about making travel easier for people using a special Android app. This app helps tourists find the best places near them to visit, taking into account where they are and what time it is. Imagine if you're new to Rawalpindi and Islamabad – this app would suggest cool places to see and good places to eat, all close by. It's not just about showing places, though – the app can even send helpful text messages to people who might not know how to use it well. So, if you're looking for a great travel experience without all the confusion, this app could be your new best friend!

description: Background and objectives: From 2017 to 2020, global milk production ranged from 610,724 to 643,769 thousand tons, but the dairy industry still faces issues related to its carbon footprint and sustainability. According to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), by 2030, food processors, governmental bodies, and consumers should take actions regarding food production patterns and consumption to decrease the generation of by-products and side-streams and increase their circularity by developing nutritious-rich products. Dairy products have traditionally been manufactured without bioactive ingredients to boost consumers’ health and well-being. To achieve the sustainability goals and the need to reformulate traditional dairy foods to make them more nutritious and reduce their carbon footprint, it is paramount to implement integrated approaches that embody the “farm to fork” ethos. Scope and approach: This review integrates concepts of food science, technology, nutrition, circular economy, and sustainability to provide an overview of the technological applications of dietary fibre, polyphenols, functional lipids, and carotenoids obtained from agro-industrial side-streams in dairy food formulations. Key findings and conclusions: Dairy processors can use bioactive ingredients and extracts obtained from agro-industrial side-streams to design potentially functional food models and tentatively market these products with nutritional claims or even with a health claim in case the bioactivity is verified in human intervention trials. This approach will increase the nutritional value of traditional dairy foods and contribute to circularity within food systems, reducing food waste, and enhancing human health.

description: No actual contexto competitivo dos mercados, o marketing relacional parece revelar-se como uma estratégia capaz de dar continuidade às organizações no tempo através da fidelização de clientes. As características específicas do turismo rural tornam necessária a procura de uma definição de fidelidade, pois a multiplicidade de destinos e alojamentos que oferece é tão ampla e variada que a probabilidade de repetição da visita pode ser baixa. Este trabalho pretende dar resposta a esta questão, abordando o conceito de fidelidade neste campo específico e tentando encontrar os factores que influenciam a formação da mesma fidelidade, propondo um modelo para o seu estudo.

description: The UX Ori type variables (named after the prototype of their class) are intermediate-mass pre-main sequence objects. One of the most likely causes of their variability is the obscuration of the central star by orbiting dust clouds. We investigate the structure of the circumstellar environment of the UX~Ori star V1026 Sco (HD 142666) and test whether the disk inclination is large enough to explain the UX Ori variability. We observed the object in the low-resolution mode of the near-infrared interferometric VLTI/AMBER instrument and derived H- and K-band visibilities and closure phases. We modeled our AMBER observations, published Keck Interferometer observations, archival MIDI/VLTI visibilities, and the spectral energy distribution using geometric and temperature-gradient models. Employing a geometric inclined-ring disk model, we find a ring radius of 0.15 +- 0.06 AU in the H band and 0.18 +- 0.06 AU in the K band. The best-fit temperature-gradient model consists of a star and two concentric, ring-shaped disks. The inner disk has a temperature of 1257^{+133}_{-53} K at the inner rim and extends from 0.19 +- 0.01 AU to 0.23 +- 0.02 AU. The outer disk begins at 1.35^{+0.19}_{-0.20} AU and has an inner temperature of 334^{+35}_{-17} K. The derived inclination of 48.6^{+2.9}_{-3.6}deg approximately agrees with the inclination derived with the geometric model (49 +- 5deg in the K band and 50 +- 11deg in the H band). The position angle of the fitted geometric and temperature-gradient models are 163 +- 9deg (K band; 179 +- 17deg in the H band) and 169.3^{+4.2}_{-6.7}deg, respectively. The narrow width of the inner ring-shaped model disk and the disk gap might be an indication for a puffed-up inner rim shadowing outer parts of the disk. The intermediate inclination of ~50deg is consistent with models of UX Ori objects where dust clouds in the inclined disk obscure the central star.
Stochastic modeling of excitable dynamics: improved Langevin model for mesoscopic channel noise

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Neurons and Cognition (q-bio.NC)

description: Influence of mesoscopic channel noise on excitable dynamics of living cells became a hot subject within the last decade, and the traditional biophysical models of neuronal dynamics such as Hodgkin-Huxley model have been generalized to incorporate such effects. There still exists but a controversy on how to do it in a proper and computationally efficient way. Here we introduce an improved Langevin description of stochastic Hodgkin-Huxley dynamics with natural boundary conditions for gating variables. It consistently describes the channel noise variance in a good agreement with discrete state model. Moreover, we show by comparison with our improved Langevin model that two earlier Langevin models by Fox and Lu also work excellently starting from several hundreds of ion channels upon imposing numerically reflecting boundary conditions for gating variables.

description: We introduce a WENO reconstruction based on Hermite interpolation both for semi-Lagrangian and finite difference methods. This WENO reconstruction technique allows to control spurious oscillations. We develop third and fifth order methods and apply them to non-conservative semi-Lagrangian schemes and conservative finite difference methods. Our numerical results will be compared to the usual semi-Lagrangian method with cubic spline reconstruction and the classical fifth order WENO finite difference scheme. These reconstructions are observed to be less dissipative than the usual weighted essentially non- oscillatory procedure. We apply these methods to transport equations in the context of plasma physics and the numerical simulation of turbulence phenomena.

description: In this document and the accompanying documents we describe a data model (Simulation Data Model) describing numerical computer simulations of astrophysical systems. The primary goal of this standard is to support discovery of simulations by describing those aspects of them that scientists might wish to query on, i.e. it is a model for meta-data describing simulations. This document does not propose a protocol for using this model. IVOA protocols are being developed and are supposed to use the model, either in its original form or in a form derived from the model proposed here, but more suited to the particular protocol. The SimDM has been developed in the IVOA Theory Interest Group with assistance of representatives of relevant working groups, in particular DM and Semantics.

description: Num contexto global hipercompetitivo, as atracções de visitantes constituem uma área de estudo estratégica já que a sua importância para a atractividade das áreas-destino é inquestionável. Desenrolando-se no âmbito de uma dissertação de mestrado (Caldeira, 2006), a presente investigação teve em vista averiguar se as boas práticas de gestão de visitantes (GV) constituem uma fonte de vantagem competitiva, com base numa análise exploratória da oferta das atracções de visitantes em Portugal. A partir de um inquérito por questionário via postal dirigido a atracções nacionais com entrada paga, que obteve uma taxa de resposta de 80 por cento, as entidades respondentes foram agrupadas em três classes relativamente às suas práticas de GV: ‘retardatárias’, ‘intermédias’ e ‘líderes’. A par de outras técnicas estatísticas, de natureza descritiva e inferencial, utilizadas na análise dos dados, esta categorização em particular foi definida com recurso à análise factorial das correspondências múltiplas (AFCM), relativamente pouco usada em Turismo e que confirmou a valia da sua utilização. As atracções com melhores práticas em GV reportaram mais vantagens competitivas em termos de diferenciação e eficácia de custos e melhor desempenho a nível de captação e duração da estada dos visitantes, concluindo-se que, de facto, garantir a competitividade das atracções pressupõe uma adequada GV.

description: The significant migration of the majority population is causing the rapid growth of cities As cities grow the demand for necessary resources also increases, and one of which is energy. Urban development without continuous supply of energy is impossible. The conventional methods for the generation of energy require burning of fossil fuel of different types, as a result a large amount of emission occurs, which eventually contributes to climate change. As the global temperature is rising annually, most cities are experiencing record high temperatures in the summer and heat waves are causing the population to depend largely on cooling systems. For most air conditioners used to be a luxury but now it is becoming a necessity. Which results in higher consumption of energy to run these cooling systems and being a strong emitter, it leads to higher pollution levels. Including renewable and lean energy sources like solar, wind and energy from waves etc in the urban development projects could help in solving this problem by a lot. The advantage India has in terms of renewable energy is the ample amount of solar radiation. Rooftops of Indian buildings can generate enough green energy through solar photovoltaic systems throughout the year, excluding monsoon season. Harvesting this possibility could help in lowering the global emissions by a lot. The current study aims to determine the potential of solar rooftop utilisation over a smart city - Rajkot. Three parameters which have a strong influence towards energy potential were identified as Land Surface Temperature, Global Horizontal Irradiance and Electricity Consumption. Through methods like Multi Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) and Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP), by computing different weightages, suitable locations in the city were identified. The findings suggest that the city has the potential to be sustainable in terms of energy and minimize the use of conventional sources of energy and reduce the carbon footprint left by the city to a much lower level. Using 3D models of the building footprints, shadows of each building were derived and such regions were removed from consideration. From the unshaded area and suitability data buildings which hold photovoltaic potential were identified. .The results showed that most of the buildings in the city hold photovoltaic potential providing 21.4 km2 area for Solar panel installation. From the area available for installation of solar panels the study was able to calculate the energy that can be produced by installing solar panels is 19.9 petajoules. Such a huge amount of energy can decrease about 4.9 million tonnes of CO2 Emission.
Working In Daylight: The Politics of Christian Experience and the Colonial Encounter in Malaysian Borneo
Creators: name: Schultz, Callan
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2022

description: This thesis offers an ethnographic account of the social complexity that emerges in the wake of the colonial encounter, as well as an exploration of the ways in which religious faith provides a platform for affective empowerment when negotiating postcolonial modernity. Attitudes toward religion have played a formative role in the process of Malaysia's nation-state building. When seeking education, employment, loans and a host of other state services in this modern democracy, the religion a person belongs to can influence their level of access. Over the following chapters, I analyse the cultural and political effects of religious identification and experience in Malaysia, providing examples of how the officious cataloguing of dynamic and interrelated belief systems has bolstered economic inequality by legitimising a pro-Malay agenda, while further inscribing a variety of normative expectations and limitations onto the Malaysian public. Employing a methodology that blends semiotics with affect theory, postcolonial theory, Decoloniality, the philosophy of language, critical theory, and the anthropology of Christianity, my approach delves into the ethnography of northern Borneo, drawing on nineteen months of fieldwork in the region, to paint a picture of what life is like for the Christian Dusun community in Sabah's agricultural district of Ranau. By 'working in daylight,' my participants are able to find a way of negotiating the bureaucratic and spiritual authorities that enchant their postcolonial world and the ensuing modernity it promises.

description: We study the selective adsorption of various cations into a layered slit system using grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. The slit system is formed by a series of negatively charged membranes. The electrolyte contains two kinds of cations with different sizes and valences modelled by charged hard spheres immersed in a continuum dielectric solvent. We present the results for various cases depending on the combinations of the properties of the competing cations. We concentrate on the case when the divalent cations are larger than the monovalent cations. In this case, size and charge have counterbalancing effects, which results in interesting selectivity phenomena.

description: Regional and local tourism destinations’ management is achieving higher levels of importance. The change in destinations management and planning paradigms has been confirming the essential role of local tourism destinations in terms of policy and strategy implementation, as a central point of tourism impacts analysis and in visitors’ attraction. Increasing competitiveness among worldwide destinations demands creative and suitable strategies, in order that competitive advantages are assured. The main tourism competitive factors have been assessed and it was concluded that the existence of information collection and production regarding the industry and destinations sets as an important competitive advantage, as it allows the conception of more rigorous and informed management strategies. Therefore, local and regional Destination Management Organisations must monitor the industry in a systemic and systematic way, so that destinations can remain in a favourable position in global markets. Tourism Observatories play a central role in achieving these goals. This paper seeks to discuss how Regional Tourism Observatories can be structured, what should be its strategy and objectives and its intervention at a technical level. This way, its operations can come in line with the needs of information of tourism stakeholders and the Observatory can be positioned as an instrument supporting destinations and firms’ management process, enhancing their competitiveness.

Things we do not know about the tourist

Year: 2010

description: Albeit research on tourists is a ‘younger’ research discipline, within a foreseeable future many of the most influential texts on tourist behavior, motivation and vacation decision-making have been around for fifty years. However, especially in regard to the study of human beings, their motivations, behaviors and decision-making there is little (perhaps no?) justification for the belief that the future will resemble the past. Drawing upon a series of ‘newer’ research findings, the purpose of this paper is to address the (perhaps not so) simple question: ‘What do we (not) know about the tourist?’ In order to address this question, this paper critically examines a few, selected statements (or tentative hypotheses) about ‘the tourist’ – statements that underlie much contemporary research on tourists. Albeit the paper offers more of a discussion than solid conclusions it suggests that we do not actually know that holidays is a high involvement product; that the generic decision to go or not to go is the first decision vacationers make; that choice of destination is a critical decision; or that tourists want experiences. Drawing on this discussion, the paper furthermore offers suggestions as to the future of research on ‘the tourist’.

description: A política de turismo do Brasil tem demonstrado sua capacidade de orientar a ocupação e o uso do território nacional sem estar, no entanto, articulada a outras políticas estruturantes. O Zoneamento Ecológico-Econômico (ZEE) é um instrumento que visa à integração de diversas políticas conciliando desenvolvimento econômico com a conservação dos recursos naturais e culturais. Na tentativa de melhor compreender a relação entre o instrumento ZEE e o turismo, examinou-se as abordagens do turismo em dez ZEEs das cinco regiões brasileiras, obtendo como resultado reflexões sobre sua utilização em tomadas de decisões no turismo. Após a pesquisa, foi possível concluir que o instrumento é relevante para o planejamento turístico por fornecer importantes subsídios para a conciliação de diferentes interesses que envolvem o uso do território onde o turismo está inserido.

description: We introduce a $N=1$ supergravity model with a very simple hidden sector coupled to the electroweak gauge and Higgs sectors of the MSSM. At the classical level, supersymmetry and $SU(2)\times U(1)$ are both spontaneously broken, with vanishing vacuum energy. Two real flat directions control the two symmetry-breaking scales $m_{3/2}$ and $m_Z$. The two massless scalars are a gauge singlet and the standard Higgs boson. All other unobserved particles have masses of order $m_{3/2}$. This may be a new starting point for studying the compatibility of naturalness with the observed mass hierarchies.

description: O turismo de saúde e bem-estar é um dos produtos de turismo reconhecido como um dos fenómenos económicos e sociais mais relevantes da actualidade. No entanto, verifica-se que existe ainda alguma discrepância entre as estratégias desenvolvidas pelas empresas de termalismo no sentido tradicional e os complexos destinados à prevenção da saúde fora do ciclo termal. Assim, torna-se urgente estudar este sector para tentar perceber quais os factores que contribuem para este desfasamento competitivo, salientando as melhores práticas. Esta investigação tem por objectivo identificar o estado actual da orientação empreendedora e do marketing no sector termal, através da realização de um estudo comparativo do carácter empreendedor do marketing das empresas de turismo de saúde e bem-estar no território português. Pretendeu-se, assim, perceber as novas estratégias e produtos que as empresas mais competitivas estão a desenvolver para melhorar a sua prestação de serviços, reduzir custos, incrementar a produtividade e melhorar a qualidade dos produtos/serviços. O elo de ligação entre o marketing empreendedor e o termalismo num futuro breve poderão contribuir para mudar a gestão dos estabelecimentos termais e tentar projectar melhor o sector de turismo de saúde e bem-estar.

description: O turismo e as viagens representam uma das mais importantes indústrias do nosso século, sendo mesmo considerada pela Organização Mundial do Turismo (OMT/WTO) a maior indústria e a que maior crescimento terá nos próximos anos. A região da Ria de Aveiro, composta por 11 municípios, apresenta um forte potencial para a prática de um turismo sustentável, valorizando os recursos naturais e culturais que possui. É uma região que tem como ponto de conexão a “Ria de Aveiro”, sendo uma das principais zonas húmidas do território português. Além da Ria, possui variadíssimos recursos turísticos, que vão desde as praias litorais às montanhas existentes nos concelhos mais interiores. Esta variedade de recursos constitui uma excelente oportunidade para os municípios que compõem a região, porque podem ajudar a definir e a sustentar estratégias de desenvolvimento turístico mais competitivas e associadas ao quadro de recursos naturais disponíveis. No entanto, é fundamental existir vontade política para que se possam promover e aplicar estratégias de turismo sustentável neste território. No âmbito do doutoramento em Turismo Sustentável nas Zonas Costeiras, foram realizadas entrevistas aos autarcas dos municípios da região da Ria de Aveiro, com o intuito de avaliar a percepção dos decisores políticos acerca da importância do sector do turismo para o desenvolvimento local e regional e ainda identificar as principais áreas de aposta para este mesmo sector.

Modelling business-to-business relationship quality in the hotel industry: a competing models approach
Creators: name: Vieira, Armando Luís
Publisher: name: Journal of Tourism & Development
Year: 2010

description: Relationship quality (RQ) is nowadays seen as a main source of competitive advantage, rather than service quality and/or customer satisfaction. As firms move towards more collaborative relationships, the role of relationship managers is increasingly vital to organizational success. Despite their crucial role in building business-to-business (B2B) RQ, very little research has looked at the key constructs of inter-organizational RQ from an interpersonal approach. This study aims at contributing to a better understanding of the nature, determinants, and dimensions of RQ. The focus is on testing a B2B RQ model from an interpersonal perspective using LISREL. A mail survey was employed and 948 client representatives provided their perceptions of their relationships with their counterparts in hotels, yielding a 40.7 percent response rate. Goodness-of-fit estimates provided strong support for the model. An alternative model was analysed and rejected in favour of the proposed model. By focusing on relational drivers this study responds to the lack of research on the interpersonal component of RQ, and suggests theoretical and managerial guidelines regarding the social level in the governance of business relationships.

description: Este estudo buscou reconhecer os tipos de trabalho no turismo, segundo funções e qualificações, bem como analisar relações de trabalho quanto à remuneração e modo de contratação. A metodologia foi organizada em pesquisas bibliográficas e empíricas, no sentido da elaboração de um referencial teórico-conceitual e de uma apresentação de resultados. O referencial preliminar apresenta algumas características gerais sobre o trabalho, como a produção da maisvalia e a alienação do trabalhador, além de considerações sobre o trabalho e a reestruturação produtiva contemporânea. Os tipos de trabalho foram caracterizados como serviços de apoio ao turismo: de agenciamento de viagens, de transportes, de hospedagem, de alimentação e lazer. No sistema produtivo do turismo ocorre uma desvalorização do trabalhador, que está submetido a baixas remunerações e a relações de trabalho precárias.

description: La investigación que se presenta estudia las relaciones que se producen entre ciertos factores determinantes del Proceso de Dirección Estratégica y la innovación en las empresas hoteleras con actividad en España, concretamente la parte referida a la formulación de la estrategia. La importancia de mostrar un modelo de trabajo que analiza las distintas fases del Proceso de Dirección Estratégica en su conjunto, para después extraer ciertos factores de la formulación de la estrategia y observar su incidencia sobre la innovación, está en demostrar como dichos factores son claves paraelevar el nivel de innovación en las cadenas hoteleras y, a partir de ahí, sus resultados. El posicionamiento teórico que hemos adoptado se integra, dentro de la disciplina de la Dirección Estratégica, en el Enfoque basado en los Recursos y Capacidades. A partir del mismo, hemos destacado la innovación como una capacidad estratégica clave generada a partir de la puesta en acción de una serie de recursos, siendo su gestión un elemento fundamental para el desarrollo de capacidades dinámicas que favorezcan la obtención de ventajas competitivas y rendimientos superiores.

description: O objectivo deste estudo consiste na apresentação de um modelo de segmentação do mercado turístico, de acordo com as despesas que os visitantes realizam no destino, e a aplicação desse modelo ao concelho da Covilhã. A concretização deste objectivo implicou a realização de uma reflexão teórica acerca do papel que o turismo pode desempenhar no desenvolvimento económico dos destinos, particularizando o papel das despesas dos visitantes nesse processo e a necessidade de segmentar o mercado de acordo com essas despesas. A aplicação do modelo de segmentação proposto foi concretizada recorrendo a um inquérito por questionário a 205 visitantes do concelho da Covilhã, no ano de 2008, e a uma análise de clusters hierárquica. Os resultados obtidos permitem identificar quatro segmentos de visitantes da Covilhã de acordo com as despesas que realizam no destino: “cluster com despesas baixas”, “cluster com despesas médias”, “cluster com despesas altas” e “cluster com despesas muito altas”. Estes segmentos apresentam diferenças estatisticamente significativas em termos de importância económica para o destino, perfil sócio-demográfico e comportamento de viagem. Os resultados obtidos neste estudo constituem informação relevante para a elaboração de estratégias que integrem uma visão de maximização dos benefícios do turismo para o desenvolvimento económico local.

description: Wetlands are very diverse and most productive eco-system. Globally natural wetlands are in long-term decline approximately 35% around the world; between 1970 and 2015. In contrast, human-made wetlands almost doubled over this period. Wetlands are serving as critical components of urban ecosystems, understanding their changes is imperative for sustainable urban development and conservation efforts. The numerous small wetlands are of great significance for local level management of hydrology. This study focuses on evaluating changes in wetland distribution and extent in the urban setup using two satellite datasets viz. LISS-III and LISS-IV having distinct spatial resolutions.

description: A Região de Turismo da Serra da Estrela (RTSE) dotada de impares condições paisagísticas, de recursos naturais únicos, repleta de cultura e historia, tornou-se uma região de lazer e de recreio muito apetecida. Observando o papel estratégico crucial que a actividade hoteleira detém na região e verificada a escassez de estudos de acompanhamento do desenvolvimento da actividade, visa a presente investigação contribuir para conhecer a realidade dos estabelecimentos hoteleiros de interesse para o turismo da RTSE. Assim, pretende-se analisar os tipos de estratégias que estão a ser adoptadas na região, por este tipo de empresas, e identificar a existência de grupos estratégicos. Para alcançar tais objectivos desenvolveu-se um estudo empírico, tendo por base as informações obtidas das análises estatísticas dos questionários realizados aos directores dos estabelecimentos hoteleiros de interesse para o turismo da RTSE. As análises efectuadas permitiram concluir que os estabelecimentos hoteleiros seguem estratégias combinadas e detectar ainda a existência de diferentes grupos estratégicos, no qual utilizam estratégias competitivas similares. Deste processo resultou também, que as empresas pertencentes ao sector hoteleiro à semelhança das empresas de outros sectores, consideram que a estratégia assume um papel determinante para o sucesso da sua actividade.

description: The stability of thermonuclear burning of hydrogen and helium accreted onto neutron stars is strongly dependent on the mass accretion rate. The burning behavior is observed to change from Type I X-ray bursts to stable burning, with oscillatory burning occurring at the transition. Simulations predict the transition at a ten times higher mass accretion rate than observed. Using numerical models we investigate how the transition depends on the hydrogen, helium, and CNO mass fractions of the accreted material, as well as on the nuclear reaction rates of triple alpha and the hot-CNO breakout reactions 15O(a,g)19Ne and 18Ne(a,p)21Na. For a lower hydrogen content the transition is at higher accretion rates. Furthermore, most experimentally allowed reaction rate variations change the transition accretion rate by at most 10%. A factor ten decrease of the 15O(a,g)19Ne rate, however, produces an increase of the transition accretion rate of 35%. None of our models reproduce the transition at the observed rate, and depending on the true 15O(a,g)19Ne reaction rate, the actual discrepancy may be substantially larger. We find that the width of the interval of accretion rates with marginally stable burning depends strongly on both composition and reaction rates. Furthermore, close to the stability transition, our models predict that X-ray bursts have extended tails where freshly accreted fuel prolongs nuclear burning.

description: Background and Objectives: Despite detection of autoantibodies, anti-IgLON5 disease was historically considered a tau-associated neurodegenerative disease, with limited treatment options and detrimental consequences for the patients. Observations in increasing case numbers hint toward underlying inflammatory mechanisms that, early detection provided, open a valuable window of opportunity for therapeutic intervention. We aimed to further substantiate this view by studying the CSF of patients with anti-IgLON5. Methods: We identified 11 patients with anti-IgLON5 from our database and compared clinical, MRI, and CSF findings with a cohort of 20 patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) (as a noninflammatory tauopathy) and 22 patients with functional neurologic disorder. Results: Patients with anti-IgLON5 show inflammatory changes in routine CSF analysis, an increase in B-lymphocyte frequency, and the presence of plasma cells in comparison to the PSP-control group and functional neurologic disease controls. Patients with intrathecal plasma cells showed a clinical response to rituximab. Discussion: Our findings indicate the importance of inflammatory mechanisms, in particular in early and acute anti-IgLON5 cases, which may support the use of immune-suppressive treatments in these cases. The main limitation of the study is the small number of cases due to the rarity of the disease.

description: Before the successful detection of gravitational waves (GWs) with LIGO and VIRGO, superconductingradio frequency (SCRF) cavities were already considered as potential alternativesfor large laser interferometers. They are particularly suited to probe high frequencies above∼ 10 kHz by using a heterodyne approach where the GW has to be resonant with the frequencydifference of two cavity eigenmodes. Since DESY/UHH and FNAL intend to reactivatethe research on these detectors, this thesis revisits the theory of the GW-detector interaction.In this context, we consider the indirect coupling to the cavity boundaries as well as the directcoupling to the electromagnetic field mediated by the Gertsenshtein effect. The formalismis applied to the geometry of the MAGO prototype, which was built in 2005 at INFN inGenoa.We compare the results with recent publications that focus on the same type of detectors.Different to these papers, we include a damping term that was initially found by Bernard et al. (2002) and significantlyflattens the Breit-Wigner curves of the resonances. We further provide a detailed analysisof the mechanical coupling as well as possible noise sources and the prospective sensitivity ofthe MAGO cavity. The results are compared to signals above 10 kHz from promising candidatesfor new physics, including primordial black holes (PBHs) and black hole superradiance. Weshow that future improvements of the MAGO parameters could enable to reach the region ofnew physics. The aim of this thesis therefore is to provide a basis for future research on thetheoretical as well as experimental aspects of the detector, focusing on possible modifications.

description: O artigo tem como objetivo analisar as principais ações de cooperação das quais MPE do turismo participam e suas razões de ocorrência em três destinos turísticos brasileiros que compõem um roteiro integrado conhecido como Costa Norte. Na metodologia utilizou-se a combinação de duas etapas. A primeira é qualitativa, com 53 entrevistas semiestruturadas, enquanto a segunda é um survey com uso de questionários estruturados aplicados com 213 respondentes. As ações conjuntas mais recorrentes são a) a indicação de outras empresas locais e b) as parcerias no âmbito da Rota das Emoções, coincidentes nas três localidades. As razões mais frequentes para cooperar foram a melhoria dos serviços e a atração de mais turistas. Por outro lado, a diminuição dos custos empresariais e a realização pessoal foram as razões menos mencionadas. Conclui-se que as ações conjuntas têm possibilidades distintas de apropriação para cada setor. Além disso, há indícios de que o momento do ciclo de vida de cada destino e as razões que motivam as MPE do turismo a cooperarem guardem relação entre si.
