description: Context-aware computing is currently considered the most promising approach to overcome information
overload and to speed up access to relevant information and services. Context-awareness may be derived
from many sources, including user profile and preferences, network information, sensor analysis; usually
context-awareness relies on the ability of computing devices to interact with the physical world, i.e. with
the natural and artificial objects hosted within the "environment”. Ideally, context-aware applications
should not be intrusive and should be able to react according to user’s context, with minimum user effort.
Context is an application dependent multidimensional space and the location is an important part of it
since the very beginning. Location can be used to guide applications, in providing information or
functions that are most appropriate for a specific position. Hence location systems play a crucial role.
There are several technologies and systems for computing location to a vary degree of accuracy and
tailored for specific space model, i.e. indoors or outdoors, structured spaces or unstructured spaces.
The research challenge faced by this thesis is related to pedestrian positioning in heterogeneous
environments. Particularly, the focus will be on pedestrian identification, localization, orientation and
activity recognition.
This research was mainly carried out within the “mobile and ambient systems” workgroup of EPOCH, a
6FP NoE on the application of ICT to Cultural Heritage. Therefore applications in Cultural Heritage sites
were the main target of the context-aware services discussed.
Cultural Heritage sites are considered significant test-beds in Context-aware computing for many reasons.
For example building a smart environment in museums or in protected sites is a challenging task, because
localization and tracking are usually based on technologies that are difficult to hide or harmonize within
the environment. Therefore it is expected that the experience made with this research may be useful also
in domains other than Cultural Heritage.
This work presents three different approaches to the pedestrian identification, positioning and tracking:
 Pedestrian navigation by means of a wearable inertial sensing platform assisted by the vision
based tracking system for initial settings an real-time calibration;
 Pedestrian navigation by means of a wearable inertial sensing platform augmented with GPS
measurements;
 Pedestrian identification and tracking, combining the vision based tracking system with WiFi
localization.
The proposed localization systems have been mainly used to enhance Cultural Heritage applications in
providing information and services depending on the user’s actual context, in particular depending on the
user’s location.

description: Lo scopo del Progetto Extreme Energy Events (EEE) e` di studiare raggi cosmici di energia estrema, eventi molto rari ma ricchi di informazioni. La grande difficolta` nell'affrontare la fisica dei raggi cosmici di altissima energia risiede nel flusso estremamente basso con cui tali particelle giungono sulla terra. Si utilizzano infatti reti molto estese di rivelatori: le informazioni che si possono ricavare derivano dalla rivelazione delle particelle secondarie prodotte nello sviluppo di sciami estesi di raggi cosmici primari che interagiscono con l'atmosfera terrestre. Il Progetto EEE prevede di dislocare su tutto il territorio italiano un array di telescopi (costituiti da Multi Gap Resistive Plate Chambers) per raggi cosmici secondari. Il lavoro presentato riguarda la simulazione Monte Carlo degli sciami e lo studio delle loro caratteristiche, la simulazione delle prestazioni di griglie di rivelazione differenti ed infine l'analisi dei primi dati raccolti nei telescopi di Bologna, con il conseguente confronto con la simulazione.

description: Molybdenum compounds present a series of baffling chemical puzzles. By no means are all of these yet even clearly defined and many may never be. This complexity results from the ability of molybdenum to form six different oxidation states, which can possess three different coordination numbers. Furthermore, molybdenum compounds readily disproportionate to yield mixed valence compounds; and finally, molybdate ions readily aggregate in solution to form a variety of polyions by polymerization-condensation reactions which are controlled by pH and the concentration of the system. Molybdenum' s complexity can best be summed up in the words of the late Edgar Smith who described molybdenum to his classes as “ambidextrous, bi-sexual and polygamous.”

description: Abstract

Hospitals have an essential role in providing health services. The lack of public health services and the quality of hospital services provide opportunities to establish hospitals. Considering that there is still an inequality in access to health services between big cities and remote areas. This inequality requires a health law policy that ensures equality of services throughout Indonesia. Pancasila and the 1945 NRI Constitution outline that equity and justice in health services are the state's responsibility and must be implemented through corporate participation. The purpose of this study is to analyze the obligations of corporations in the implementation of hospitals, examine the need to reformulate the Regulation of the Minister of Health for equitable distribution of health services, and formulate legal protection solutions for hospital operators based on Law Number 44 of 2009 and the 1945 Constitution Article 34 paragraph 3. The research method used in this study is a descriptive method with a normative juridical approach. The research location was conducted at a hospital incorporated in Jakarta, Sumatra, West Java, with ownership in one business group, and the research time was from 2020 to 2023. Data collection techniques are collected through interviews and library research as additional data. Data analysis was carried out in a qualitative normative manner. The results of the study show that the requirements for the location of the establishment of hospitals have been regulated. However, remote areas still lack adequate access to health services, so policies that ensure service equality with big cities are needed. The re-formulation of the Regulation of the Minister of Health and legal protection for corporations, in accordance with Law Number 44 of 2009, is needed to ensure the equitable distribution of quality health services throughout Indonesia in accordance with the perspective of the Pancasila Principles of Justice.

description: This paper investigates the value of empathy in Tourism Industry, by presenting arguments about a human-cented approach of hospitality in business. "Empathy” is defined as an individual's ability to “see” the facts from another person’s perspective while maintaining emotional control. The role of empathy in interpersonal relationships is presented, followed by the application of empathetic behaviour in several service-oriented industries and focusing on tourism market. Some evaluation techniques and tools are presented and certain conclusions are extracted as far as the utilization of this nuence of emotional intelligence is concerned. A lot of research work must be done, mainly in field, for further investigation of this relatively new topic on business service research.

description: The study examined the influence of tourism motivation factors on livelihood strategies of host people. The study area was Osun State. One tourism festival specific town from each of the three senatorial districts was purposively selected based on highest patronage and most famous. Egungun festival - Iwo (July, 2018), Osun Osogbo festival - Osogbo (August, 2018), and Baba funfun festival - Imesi- Ile (April, 2018) from Osun West, Central, and East Senatorial Districts respectively. Purposive sampling technique was used to select four hundred and fifty respondents, one hundred and fifty each from each festival. The results revealed that there is significant difference in the abilities of push and pull factors on livelihood strategies of the host people (t = 41.901, p<0.05). The results also showed significant relationships between push factors (relaxation (r = 0.2330), economic power (r = 0.4238), prestige/caste (r = 0.3748), and worship (r = 0.1484) while the same position was observed on pull factors (clement weather (r = 0.3112), pristine culture (r = 0.3660), adventure (r = 0.3348), journey thrill (r = 0.2437), scenery (r = 0.2912), entertainments (r = 0.3712), cuisines (r = 0.2731), souvenirs (r = 0.4111). However, family ties (r = -0.2679) showed negative significant correlation. Regression coefficients of six pull factors; clement weather (b = 1.311), pristine culture (b = 1.389), adventure (b = 1.707), entertainments (b = 1.252), cuisines (b = 1.792), souvenirs (b = 1.6731) and three push factors (official obligation (b = -0.3138), prestige/caste (b = 1.509), relaxation/fun (b = 1.655)) significantly contributed to the unit change in livelihood strategies of the host people. The study concluded that tourism motivation factors contributed to livelihood strategies of the host people. It was recommended that stakeholders should reinforce the facilities in both tangible and intangible terms to accommodate the urge of tourists and even expand the need threshold for improved patronage that will translate to more livelihood strategies for the teeming host population.

description: A natural N=1 supersymmetric extension of the Euler top, which introduces exactly one fermionic counterpart for each bosonic degree of freedom, is considered. The equations of motion, their symmetries and integrals of motion are given. It is demonstrated that, although in general the system lacks the integrability property, it admits an interesting integrable reduction, for which all fermions are proportional to one and the same Grassmann-odd number - a value of the conserved supercharge. A generalisation involving an arbitrary three-dimensional real Lie algebra is proposed.

description: The development of transport infrastructure is a prerequisite and a fundamental factor in tourism sector growth, as without the variety of transport means (i.e. tourist transport by air, by water, on land) and modes (i.e. mass transportation, independent means of travel) tourism industry would not be able to exist. In this context, tourism embraces all the transport systems, from local transit systems to global air connection among destinations. This paper discusses transport for tourism issues with emphasis on practices observed in the rail, yacht and cruising sectors. Policy implications are then thoroughly discussed to suggest a roadmap for those working in the area.

description: Religious tourism not only addresses the satisfaction of human religious and spiritual needs, but is also related to a range of reasons, such as recreation, leisure, landscape patterns, cultural or educational reasons. The aim of this study was to investigate the profile of 502 Greek tourists visiting religious sites on the region of West Thessaly, Greece, and their motivation as well. According to the results, the respondents are in line with the model of the short visit religious tourists travelling in organised groups. Using exploratory factor analysis, the findings revealed that the religious sites of the region attracted visitors who seek to fulfill different kinds of needs; religious and nature-seeking motivations seem to be significant factors for visiting the surveyed region. This finding suggests that it would be worthwhile for destination managers to pay more attention to tourist attractions, such as environment and religious atmosphere, in order to continue to enhance experiences and attract repeated tourists. Finally, motivational factors and activities identified in the research show that collaboration between the stakeholders, such as the Church, local authorities and tourist sector, is necessary.

description: Abstract

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is a favorite vegetable crop in Nigeria and around the world. The crop, is plagued with pests, diseases, lack of high-yielding varieties and post-harvest losses. Hence the need of this study to evaluate the genetic diversity, genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance on growth traits of ten varieties of tomato. The study was conducted at Babcock University, Ilishan-Remo and Institute of Agricultural Research and Training (IAR & T), Ibadan. Ten varieties of tomato were selected and planted in nursery for four weeks before transplanting to the field at a spacing of 50 cm x 50 cm (40,000 plants/ha). The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replicates. At maturity, data were collected on agronomic and yield traits. Genetic diversity, Genetic variability, Heritability, Genetic advance were estimated on growth traits. Data obtained were subjected to analysis of variance using SAS 9.4, 2013 at P≤0.05, and the means were separated using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. There were significant differences among the genotypes of tomatoes planted in all the characters studied at 1% level of probability in both locations. Roma Savannah produced significantly higher fruit diameter (36.31mm), length (47.97 mm) and weight (38.05 g). TROPIMECH had the highest plant height (0.84 m), number of leaves (38.67) and number of branches (11.83). Plant height and number of fruits were significantly negatively correlated both at phenotypic and genotypic levels (-0.47, -0.59). Plant height and fruit length were negatively correlated at genotypic level (-0.39) while plant height and fruit weight were negatively correlated at genotypic level (-0.60), suggesting that selection directed at plant height will not favour tomato fruit yield. Generally, broad sense heritability ranged from 63.58 to 97.45, suggesting that characters evaluated were also under additive gene control. Characters such as fruit length and number of leaves had high genotypic coefficient of variability, heritability and genetic advance which were reliable predictors of yield. It is therefore recommended that TROPIMECH and UC 82 B varieties be used as putative varieties to improve genetic diversity.
title: Enhancing Spider-Silk Protein Materials through Continuous Electrospinning and Photo-Initiated Cross-Linking
Creators: name: Gil, Dan
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Spider-silk is known as one of the stronger natural materials, unfortunately it is impossible to farm spiders due to their territorial and cannibalistic nature. To address this issue, researchers have studied spider-silk to discover how it is produced in nature. From their results, spider-silk is composed of large sized proteins produced in two different cell types. Using this knowledge, researchers created transgenic organisms capable of producing spider-silk proteins in large quantities. Using these proteins, several groups have created fibers, films, hydrogels, and adhesives with robust and versatile properties.
Wet-spinning is a technique commonly used to create fibers from spider-silk proteins. These fibers unfortunately do not compare to the mechanical properties of natural silk. To address this researchers have used a method known as electrospinning to create spider-silk fibers with substantially smaller diameters. In doing so, these electrospun fibers have increased surface area and enhanced mechanical properties. Using this method, our group has modified the electrospinner to be able to produce continuous fine diameter yarns composed of hundreds of nanofibers with mechanical properties surpassing that of natural silk.
Fibers aside, spider-silk proteins can be used to create a variety of different biocompatible materials. To further enhance these materials, our group has utilized a technique traditionally used for observation. This technique employs a high intensity light source to initiate cross-links within the proteins. With this method, our spider-silk protein materials have increased their mechanical properties by a factor of seven. These materials can further be modified through post-treatments, resulting in tunable materials with diverse and robust mechanical properties.

description: Oggetto della tesi è il reverse charge, ovvero inversione contabile, che rappresenta un particolare metodo impositivo dell’Iva, derogatorio rispetto a quello tipico ed ordinariamente applicabile. L’imposta sul valore aggiunto è un’imposta plurifase, non cumulativa, basata sulle figure della rivalsa e della detrazione, attraverso la cui combinazione viene garantita la neutralità tipica di tale tributo, affinché l’onere conclusivamente sopportato dal consumatore finale non venga condizionato dal numero degli stadi di lavorazione di cui consta un eventuale ciclo produttivo. Il reverse charge deroga al citato meccanismo impositivo in quanto, nelle operazioni in cui tale sistema trova applicazione, il fornitore o il prestatore non addebitano alcuna imposta in via di rivalsa al cessionario o al committente, ed il debito Iva generato dall’operazione da loro posta in essere viene assolto direttamente, e contrariamente a quanto dovrebbe accadere, dal cessionario o dal committente. La tesi offre sostanzialmente una riflessione ampia e generalizzata di tale particolare metodo impositivo, al fine di individuarne i tratti caratteristici, e verificare come detto metodo impositivo, comunque derogatorio, si ponga nell’ambito del sistema ordinario dell’Iva, e quale incidenza abbia rispetto alla finalità ultima e peculiare del tributo, ossia la tassazione del consumo finale, mediante un sistema impositivo che risulti neutrale per gli operatori commerciali, e quindi per i soggetti passivi d’imposta.

description: Protecting users from accessing malicious web sites is one of the important management tasks for network operators. There are many open-source and commercial products to control web sites users can access. The most traditional approach is blacklist-based filtering. This mechanism is simple but not scalable, though there are some enhanced approaches utilizing fuzzy matching technologies. Other approaches try to use machine learning (ML) techniques by extracting features from URL strings. This approach can cover a wider area of Internet web sites, but finding good features requires deep knowledge of trends of web site design. Recently, another approach using deep learning (DL) has appeared. The DL approach will help to extract features automatically by investigating a lot of existing sample data. Using this technique, we can build a flexible filtering decision module by keep teaching the neural network module about recent trends, without any specific expert knowledge of the URL domain. In this paper, we apply a mechanical approach to generate feature vectors from URL strings. We implemented our approach and tested with realistic URL access history data taken from a research organization and data from the famous archive site of phishing site information, PhishTank.com. Our approach achieved 2~3% better accuracy compared to the existing DL-based approach.

description: Chronic wound-associated pain negatively impacts the quality of life of individuals and their families. To date, little research exists that has explored collectively how individuals describe wound pain, strategies they use to manage pain, and the perceived effectiveness of such strategies. Therefore, qualitative, semi-structured interviews were carried out between June and August 2021 with 13 individuals to gain a deeper understand of the experience and impact of chronic wound-associated pain in this population. Data were analyzed following Braun and Clarke’s approach for reflexive thematic analysis using MAXQdA®. Two themes and subthemes were identified. Theme 1 reflects participants’ characterization of pain and how wound-associated pain affected their daily life and how they learned to accept it. Participants felt functionally impaired. In theme 2, participants described how they accepted to live with such a pain even though they received support to manage their chronic wound-associated pain, especially during the dressing-changes. Patients depended on their health care professionals and family support networks to cope with the pain. Coping with pain is exhausting contributing to poorer quality of life. Health care professionals should be aware of wound-associated pain during dressing changes. Patients recommended the need for further research on dressings and not drugs to manage pain.

description: Abstract

Funeral services firms are now regarded as strategic actors in ensuring availability of suitable facilities, guiding families through the necessary steps, and providing the resources needed to carry out rites. As market share performance is considered a key enabler of their competitiveness, identifying determinants of their market share performance cannot be over emphasized. In light of this, the purpose of this current study was to see how organisational culture and effective leadership are determinants of market share performance. The study adopted the survey method and collected data from 360 managerial employees using questionnaires. Data was analysed using structural equation modeling in AMOS. Results revealed that organizational culture and effective leadership were positively related to market share performance. Practical, theoretical and implications for future studies were also given.

The peak of this event exhibits both finite-source effects and terrestrial parallax, from which we determine the mass of the lens, M_l=0.64 +/- 0.10 M_Sun, and its distance, D_l = 4.0 +/- 0.6. We rule out Jupiter-mass planetary companions to the lens star for projected separations in the range 0.5-20 AU. More generally, we find that this event was sensitive to planets with masses as small as 0.2 M_Earth ~= 2 M_Mars with projected separations near the Einstein ring (~3 AU).

title: Development and Fitness Consequences of Onshore Behavior Among Polar Bears in the Southern Beaufort Sea Subpopulation
Creators: name: Lillie, Kate M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) are experiencing rapid and substantial changes to their environment due to global climate change. Polar bears of the southern Beaufort Sea (SB) have historically spent most of the year on the sea ice. However, recent reports from Alaska indicate that the proportion of the SB subpopulation observed onshore during late summer and early fall has increased considerably. Previous research suggests that the number of polar bears onshore is linked to sea ice conditions and the availability of subsistence-harvested whale carcasses, which are referred to as bone piles. My objectives were to determine the development and fitness consequences for SB polar bears that come onshore. Furthermore, I aimed to reveal the number of polar bears that come onshore and feed at whale carcasses. I used a combination of genetic and behavioral data collected on SB polar bears from 2010-2013 to determine if onshore behavior developed through genetic inheritance, asocial learning, or social learning. I found that onshore behavior was primarily transmitted via mother-offspring social learning. I used hair samples collected at bone piles near Kaktovik, Alaska from 2011-2014 and genetic capture-recapture techniques to estimate the annual number of polar bears that visited the bone piles and rates of apparent site fidelity to the bone pile. I estimated that as many as 146 (SE = 21) SB polar bears visited the bone piles near Kaktovik in 2012. Annual rates of apparent site fidelity to the bone pile for male polar bears ranged from 0.60 (SE = 0.07) to 0.61 (SE = 0.07), and female rates of apparent site fidelity was 0.69 (SE = 0.19). Lastly, I used quantitative fatty acid signature analysis to estimate the proportion of bowhead whale, ringed seal, bearded seal, and beluga whale in the diets of SB polar bears from 2004-2015. I revealed that polar bears achieved higher body condition by coming onshore and feeding at whale carcasses. Overall, my results indicated that SB polar bears are socially learning from their mother to come onshore and that this behavior is linked to increased body condition.

description: In this paper, two developments, the theory of hierarchical equations of motion (HEOM) for open quantum dynamics systems and the theory of ultrafast nonlinear two-dimensional (2D) spectroscopies, are described, following the history of their founder. The HEOM was discovered by attempting to derive an equation similar to Kuob's stochastic Liouville equation based on the system-bath Hamiltonian. The theory of 2D spectroscopy was developed in the process of investigating the effect of quantum coherence on nonlinear vibrational spectra based on the Feynman-Vernon influence functional. The paper also describes the development of these two theories for problems such as electron and exciton transfer in photosynthetic systems, quantum statistical thermodynamics, and solid-state physics.

description: The morphological evolution of hillocks at the unpassivated sidewalls of the single crystal metallic thin films is investigated via computer simulations by using the free-moving boundary value problem. The effects of the drift-diffusion anisotropy on the development of surface topographical scenarios is fully explored under the action of electromigration and capillary forces, utilizing numerous combination of the surface texture, the drift-diffusion anisotropy and the direction of the applied electric field. The present simulation studies yield very rich and technologically imported information, in regards to the critical texture of the single crystal thin film surfaces, and the intensity and the orientation of the applied electric field, as far as the device reliability is concerned.

description: In this paper we consider the classical relativistic motion of charged particles in a knotted electromagnetic field. After reviewing how to construct electromagnetic knots from maps between the three-sphere and the two-sphere, we introduce a mean quadratic radius of the energy density distribution in order to study some properties of this field. We study the classical relativistic motion of electrons in the electromagnetic field of the Hopf map, and compute their trajectories. It is observed that these electrons initially at rest are strongly accelerated by the electromagnetic force, becoming ultrarelativistic in a period of time that depends on the knot energy and size.

description: We show that the same initial mass function (IMF) can result from very different modes of star formation from very similar underlying core and/or system mass functions. In particular, we show that the canonical IMF can be recovered from very similar system mass functions, but with very different mass ratio distributions within those systems. This is a consequence of the basically log-normal shapes of all of the distributions. We also show that the relationships between the shapes of the core, system, and stellar mass functions may not be trivial. Therefore, different star formation in different regions could still result in the same IMF.

description: We present calculations of Post-Newtonian parameters for Brans-Dicke tensor-scalar gravity in an arbitrary number of compact extra dimensions in both the Jordan and Einstein conformal frames. We find that the parameter gamma, which measures the amount of spacetime curvature per unit mass, becomes a function of omega, the coefficient of the scalar kinetic term in the Brans-Dicke Lagrangian. Experiment has placed strong constraints on gamma which require that omega become negative in the Jordan frame for any number of extra dimensions, highlighting that this formulation is not physical. We also confirm the well-known result that a compact extra dimension can be equivalently viewed as a massless scalar `dilaton.' In the Einstein frame, we find that the behavior of gamma as constrained by experiment replicates that which is predicted by string theory.

description: It is well-known that magnetic impurities can change the symmetry class of disordered metallic systems by breaking spin and time-reversal symmetry. At low temperature these symmetries can be restored by Kondo screening. It is also known that at the Anderson metal-insulator transition, wave functions develop multifractal fluctuations with power law correlations. Here, we consider the interplay of these two effects. We show that multifractal correlations open local pseudogaps at the Fermi energy at some random positions in space. When dilute magnetic impurities are at these locations, Kondo screening is strongly suppressed. We find that when the exchange coupling J is smaller than a certain value J*, the metal-insulator transition point extends to a critical region in the disorder strength parameter and to a band of critical states. The width of this critical region increases with a power of the concentration of magnetic impurities.

title: Culture Matters: Career and Life Expectations and Outcomes among Business School Alumni

description: Women have made great strides in narrowing the gender gap in professional fields. However, women are still significantly underrepresented and face substantial challenges in reaching top professional positions in business. Recently, in its Life and Leadership After HBS study, the Harvard Business School surveyed its graduate school alumni to better understand “gendered dimensions of life and career that [are] crucial to advancing women leaders” (Harvard Business School 2013). This groundbreaking study found that both men and women have similar career aspirations and expectations upon graduating from HBS, yet men are more likely than women to achieve their career goals.
My research extends the HBS study by asking whether or not cultural context shapes career aspirations of men and women, and if so, how? As a result, this study seeks to fill an important gap in the literature regarding the role that culture plays in influencing men’s and women’s career trajectories. By replicating the Life and Leadership after HBS survey at a large university in a state with strong traditional gender cultural norms, we can better understand the effect cultural context has on men and women’s professional careers.
This study found that high-achieving men and women from a traditionalist culture have similar career and life expectations as the Harvard sample. However, the career and life outcomes for the traditionalist men and women are more traditional than they expected and more traditional in comparison to the Harvard sample. Findings show that early family formation encouraged within a traditionalist culture influences high-achieving men and women’s career aspirations. The high-achieving alumni from the traditionalist culture also appear to participate in early family formation that results in women’s paying an early motherhood penalty.

Academic goals must meet the professional standards of the field and help students develop relevant competencies.
title: A comparative analysis of festival tourists’ profile and motives: the cases of Kalamata and Drama, Greece

description: This paper presents an analysis of two renowned international arts festivals visitors’ motives and profile characteristics, in two medium sized Greek cities: the Kalamata International Dance Festival and the Drama International Short Film Festival. The purpose of the study was to determine the reasons visitors attend these festivals, necessary for building more concise marketing strategies and, therefore, more successful and sustainable events, with long-term benefits, ranging from the local to the national levels. The research addresses international arts festivals that share four main characteristics: a) they host international professional artists, 2) they feature explicitly-stated artistic visions and objectives, 3) they are publicly funded, and 4) they have achieved a consecutive 23 years of successful presence in each city. These two case studies represent two cultural events which have managed to maintain their popularity and high status, on the European festival map, as well as to raise their host cities’ cultural and tourism standards, despite the serious economic cutback they have both faced. Due to limited available funds, the festivals lack marketing resources and specifically data collection on visitor motivation, a gap which this study aims to remedy. Primary data were collected with the aid of online structured questionnaires, distributed and collected during autumn 2016. 130 questionnaires were answered by visitors of the Drama International Short Film Festival and 186 questionnaires were answered by visitors of the Kalamata International Dance Festival. Even though both festivals share similar characteristics regarding their organization and their aims, our analysis emphasized the heterogeneity of the motives of attendance in connection with the visitors’ profile characteristics, for each event. While some similarities were found, especially between demographic sample characteristics and visitors’ profiles, the general picture to emerge from the findings indicates significant differences between the two cases. Arts festivals-goers do not appear to constitute a single homogeneous market; rather, each event appears to attract different audiences for different reasons. The implications of these findings, deriving from statistical analysis, are discussed and suggestions for further research are outlined. This research aims to contribute to knowledge concerning the marketing strategies of International Arts Festivals in medium-sized cities, useful for research and academic purposes, as well as to local and national authorities and other agencies and bodies, responsible for urban tourism and cultural city/town planning and management.

title: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Positive and Negative Social Support as Components of the Interpersonal Psychological Theory of Suicide in the United States Military Veterans
Creators: name: Kugler, Jordan M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Veterans are at a greater risk for suicide compared to the general population. Suicide risk further increases for veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The Interpersonal Psychological Theory of Suicide (IPTS) states that a combination of higher perceived burden and lower thwarted belonging increases risk for suicidal ideation (SI), and when SI is present, higher acquired capability for suicide (ACFS) increases risk for suicide attempt. The IPTS is well supported in samples of the general population, but understudied in military samples. The current study tested the IPTS, using PTSD severity in place of perceived burden, and bothersomeness of negative social support (BNSS) and satisfaction of positive social support (SPSS) in place of thwarted belonging, and the original measure of ACFS in 290 military service members/veterans. We observed that higher PTSD and BNSS and lower SPSS were associated with SI and higher suicide risk. BNSS demonstrated a nearly equivalent association to both SI and total suicide risk compared to SPSS. Neither the combined effect of PTSD severity and BNSS/SPSS on SI nor the combined effect of PTSD severity, BNSS/SPSS and ACFS on suicide risk were significant. Findings suggest that PTSD and SPSS/BNSS may not be useful variables for testing the IPTS, but that they are useful individually to assess suicidal behavior. Moreover, given the nearly equivalent association of BNSS and SPSS with suicide risk observed in the current study, clinicians and researchers should attend to both the positive and negative facets of social support in place of measuring only aspects of positive social support.
