Publisher: name: tourismos
Year: 2021

description: There is a lack of studies on tourism demand in Catalonia. To fill the gap, this paper focuses on detecting the macroeconomic factors that determine tourism demand in Catalonia. We also analyse the relation between these factors and tourism demand. Despite the strong seasonal component and the outliers in the time series of some countries, overnight stays give a better indication of tourism demand in Catalonia than the number of tourists. The degree of linear association between the macroeconomic variables and tourism demand is also higher when using quarterly rather than monthly data. Finally, there are notable differences between the results obtained for the different countries analysed. These results indicate that the best way to model tourism demand in Catalonia is to specify a quarterly model of overnight stays, differentiating between an aggregate demand model for the total number of tourists and specific models for each of the countries analysed.

Memorie e ferite storiche. Il caso de L’espulsione di Gerta Schnirch
Creators: name: Mella, Stefania
Publisher: name: Firenze University Press
Year: 2014
Subjects: abuse; contemporary Czech literary prose; expulsion of Germans from Czechoslovakia; psychological trauma

description: This article aims to explain the painful experience of Gerta, the protagonist of Kateřina Tučková’s novel Vyhnání Gerty Schnirch (The Expulsion of Gerta Schnirch). Her story develops through the years following World War II, when many Germans were forced to leave Czechoslovakia. Gerta, a young lady of Czech-German descent, is deeply affected by the expulsion and its aftermath. Her life will be branded for good by the multitude of harsh episodes which will be the cause for the protagonist of a slow, yet unavoidable decline. The historical events provide not only the background for the story, but also act as a violent, cruel machine that slowly consumes Gerta, leaving her empty and drained. With nothing else to lose and nothing else to fight for, a feeling of death grips the protagonist until it overwhelms her completely.

Il ritratto di Marko Pogačar. Un’eventuale bozza e qualche schizzo
Creators: name: Merčep, Neira
Publisher: name: Firenze University Press
Year: 2014
Subjects: contemporary poetry; Croatian literature; neo-liberalism; transition; war trauma

description: In this article I analyze Marko Pogačar’s (Split 1984) literary activity, focusing on trauma-connected themes. The main trauma emerging from Pogačar’s work is war experience of both WWII and the dissolution of former Yugoslavia in the Nineties. On a second level, the field of trauma embraces contemporary Croatian and global economy: social inequality, corporative politics of multinationals, excesses of neo-liberalism. Pogačar particularly detects inconsistencies of the cultural and political transition from socialism to capitalism in Croatia and in the whole Balkan region.

Trauma e fumetto: il viaggio in Italia di Ulli Lust
Creators: name: Remonato, Giovanni
Publisher: name: Firenze University Press
Year: 2014
Subjects: comics; fumetto; graphic novel; Heute ist der letzte Tag vom Rest deines Lebens; trauma; Ulli Lust

description: Heute ist der letzte Tag vom Rest deines Lebens is an autobiographical graphic novel by the Austrian author Ulli Lust. Ulli, who is a rebellious seventeen-year old “punk” girl and the protagonist of the book, went for a hitchhiking trip across Italy. Although Ulli enjoyed the journey and the new sense of freedom, she also ran into many difficulties. Italy is depicted as a male-dominant society, where women are regarded as sexual objects. During her trip Ulli had to face molestations, sexual assaults and even rape. Some of the comic’s most dramatic pages represent the effects of violence on the protagonist, such as feelings of shame and nightmares. This article focuses on the verbal and graphic  representation of a trauma. With the support of trauma studies, I will analyze the sequence of images representing rape and argue that this is an illustration of a "post-traumatic stress disorder". Usually narrating a traumatic event represents a great challenge, because of the incommunicable and unutterable nature of traumas. I will argue that comics can overcome the difficulties of narrating a traumatic event thanks to the combined use of text and images.

Quantum turbulence: From superfluid helium to atomic Bose-Einstein condensates
Creators: name: Tsubota, Makoto
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Other Condensed Matter (cond-mat.other)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This article reviews recent developments in quantum fluid dynamics and quantum turbulence (QT) for superfluid helium and atomic Bose-Einstein condensates. Quantum turbulence was discovered in superfluid $^4$He in the 1950s, but the field moved in a new direction starting around the mid 1990s. Quantum turbulence is comprised of quantized vortices that are definite topological defects arising from the order parameter appearing in Bose-Einstein condensation. Hence QT is expected to yield a simpler model of turbulence than does conventional turbulence. A general introduction to this issue and a brief review of the basic concepts are followed by a description of vortex lattice formation in a rotating atomic Bose-Einstein condensate, typical of quantum fluid dynamics. Then we discuss recent developments in QT of superfluid helium such as the energy spectra and dissipative mechanisms at low temperatures, QT created by vibrating structures, and the visualization of QT. As an application of these ideas, we end with a discussion of QT in atomic Bose-Einstein condensates.

description: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is a medical emergency characterized by rapid hearing loss, frequently without an identifiable etiology. Emerging evidence suggests a potential link between type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and SSNHL, possibly attributable to a diabetes-induced vascular damage, neuropathy, or inflammation.
This study aims to investigate this relationship, addressing a clinically relevant and underexplored question: Are patients with T1DM at a higher risk of developing SSNHL compared to the general population?

description: One of the open issues in fingerprint verification is the lack of robustness against image-quality degradation. Poor-quality images result in spurious and missing features, thus degrading the performance of the overall system. Therefore, it is important for a fingerprint recognition system to estimate the quality and validity of the captured fingerprint images. In this work, we review existing approaches for fingerprint image-quality estimation, including the rationale behind the published measures and visual examples showing their behavior under different quality conditions. We have also tested a selection of fingerprint image-quality estimation algorithms. For the experiments, we employ the BioSec multimodal baseline corpus, which includes 19200 fingerprint images from 200 individuals acquired in two sessions with three different sensors. The behavior of the selected quality measures is compared, showing high correlation between them in most cases. The effect of low-quality samples in the verification performance is also studied for a widely available minutiae-based fingerprint matching system.

description: We report on the discovery of HAT-P-12b, a transiting extrasolar planet orbiting the moderately bright V=12.8 K4 dwarf GSC 03033-00706, with a period P = 3.2130598 +- 0.0000021 d, transit epoch Tc = 2454419.19556 +- 0.00020 (BJD) and transit duration 0.0974 +- 0.0006 d. The host star has a mass of 0.73 +- 0.02 Msun, radius of 0.70 +- ^0.02_0.01 Rsun, effective temperature 4650 +- 60 K and metallicity [Fe/H] = -0.29 +- 0.05. We find a slight correlation between the observed spectral line bisector spans and the radial velocity, so we consider, and rule out, various blend configurations including a blend with a background eclipsing binary, and hierarchical triple systems where the eclipsing body is a star or a planet. We conclude that a model consisting of a single star with a transiting planet best fits the observations, and show that a likely explanation for the apparent correlation is contamination from scattered moonlight. Based on this model, the planetary companion has a mass of 0.211 +- 0.012 MJup, and a radius of 0.959 +- ^0.029_0.021 RJup yielding a mean density of 0.295 +- 0.025 g cm^-3. Comparing these observations with recent theoretical models we find that HAT-P-12b is consistent with a ~ 1-4.5 Gyr, mildly irradiated, H/He dominated planet with a core mass Mc

description: We present a detailed study of the gain length in an active medium obtained by doping of DNA strands with DCM dye molecules. The superior thermal stability of the composite and its low quenching, permits to obtain optical gain coefficient larger than 300 cm^-1. We also show that such an active material is excellent for integration into photonic nano-structures, to achieve, for example, efficient random lasing emission, and fluorescent photonic crystals.

For types D_n^(1), B_n^(1), A_{2n-1}^(2) we rely on a previous construction using the Dynkin diagram automorphism which interchanges nodes 0 and 1. For type C_n^(1) we use a Dynkin diagram folding and for types A_{2n}^(2), D_{n+1}^(2) a similarity construction. We also show that for types C_n^(1) and D_{n+1}^(2) the analog of the Dynkin diagram automorphism exists on the level of crystals.

Publisher: name: tourismos
Year: 2021

description: There has been a boom in health tourism. A growing number of tourists travel to other countries for preventive and rehabilitative care and seek detoxifying, destressing and healthy activities. Based on a community-based tourism project, this study aimed to explore the possibilities of developing health tourism in Ban Kaset Puttana, a village located in the suburban area of Ubon Ratchathani in Thailand. The one-year project based on participatory action research covered the entire process of forming thematic alternative health tourist products by employing the concept of natural-based health care. The project was then followed by 10 semistructured interviews with local villagers to investigate their perceptions about community-based tourism development. This research project resulted in the development of community-created sustainable rural tourism. After the research project, villagers indicated that while health tourism development has both positive and negative impacts on their village, the positive impacts far outweighs the negative ones.

description: The epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) tunneling phenomenon allows full transmission of waves through a narrow channel even in the presence of a strong geometric mismatch. Here we experimentally demonstrate nonlinear control of the ENZ tunneling by an external field, as well as self-modulation of the transmission resonance due to the incident wave. Using a waveguide section near cut-off frequency as the ENZ system, we introduce a diode with tunable and nonlinear capacitance to demonstrate both of these effects. Our results confirm earlier theoretical ideas on using an ENZ channel for dielectric sensing, and their potential applications for tunable slow-light structures.

description: This technical design report (TDR) of the High Energy Density Physics scientific instrument (HED instrument) at the European XFEL outlines the scientific and technological requirements for the various subsystems and describes the technical realization of the instrument chosen to match these requirements.The scientific requirements have been extracted from a range of proposed scientific applications at HED. Most of these applications had been discussed in the past years as the core of the scientific activity at HED, but, with the recent start of operation of the Matter under Extreme Conditions instrument at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park, California, several new ideas and applications have been included. High energy density (HED) matter is generally defined as having an energy density above 1011 J•$m^{-3}$, which is equivalent to 100 GPa (1 Mbar) pressure and 500 T magnetic pressure.
CRAFTOURISM: DEVELOPMENT & VALIDATION OF A SCALE TO assess visitors’ behavioural pattern based on identified travel motives
Creators: name: Kumar Baksi, Arup
Publisher: name: tourismos
Year: 2021

description: Although perennial and transgenerational practice of local and traditional crafts have been recognized as factor a priori to segmental differentiation of destinations, inadequate research effort has been observed to understand and analyze the cognitive involvement of visitors to enact as craftsmen and to develop a scale to measure the motivation which brings out this role reversal. Destination marketing organizations are quick to enlist this role-reversal of visitors, nomenclated as Craftourism by the researcher, as tourism-product offer based on acculturation. This study focuses on development and validation of a robust scale to measure visitor motivation to enact in this role-reversal. The scale development procedure yielded a five factor measurement instrument with acceptable levels of reliability and validity. The five dimensional spread of motivation related to Craftourism were identified as experiential learning, creative thrill, sensory gratification, socialization and self esteem. The scale was tested for predictive capability of behavioural intentions of visitors with respect to two specific intentions namely repeat visit and positive referrals and was found to be significantly effective. The implications of the scale developed were discussed in both theoretical and managerial perspectives.

description: It has been shown that graphene doping is sufficient to lead to an improvement in the critical current density - field performance (Jc(B)), with little change in the transition temperature in MgB2. At 3.7 at% graphene doping of MgB2 an optimal enhancement in Jc(B) was reached by a factor of 30 at 5 K and 10 T, compared to the un-doped sample. The results suggested that effective carbon substitutions by grapheme, 2D nature of grapheme and the strain effect induced by difference thermal coefficient between single grapheme sheet and MgB2 superconductor may play an important role in flux pinning enhancement.

Publisher: name: tourismos
Year: 2017

description: Nowadays, technology is enabling alternatives that aim to disrupt the tourism industry. If these alternatives become longstanding options for tourists, hospitality businesses and other tourism providers will have to adopt new strategies to maintain their market share. One of these disrupting forces is the sharing economy that revolutionizes three facets of tourism: accommodation, transportation, and in-destination activities. In no industry has the sharing economy caused greater controversy than in the hospitality industry. This paper aims at examining the main issues of this economic and social phenomenon with regard to hospitality industry. Specific objectives are: (i) to provide a useful summary of the business models of sharing economy; (ii) to analyze its impact on the hospitality industry; (iii) to examine the related issues and challenges; (iv) to briefly present some suitable strategies to surmount these challenges; and (v) to suggest an agenda and for future research.

One-loop Corrections to the S Parameter in the Four-site Model

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We compute the leading chiral-logarithmic corrections to the S parameter in the four-site Higgsless model. In addition to the usual electroweak gauge bosons of the Standard Model, this model contains two sets of heavy charged and neutral gauge bosons. In the continuum limit, the latter gauge bosons can be identified with the first excited Kaluza-Klein states of the W^\pm and Z bosons of a warped extra-dimensional model with an SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times U(1)_X bulk gauge symmetry. We consider delocalized fermions and show that the delocalization parameter must be considerably tuned from its tree-level ideal value in order to reconcile experimental constraints with the one-loop results. Hence, the delocalization of fermions does not solve the problem of large contributions to the S parameter in this class of theories and significant contributions to S can potentially occur at one-loop.

description: Cities everywhere, and especially those located in coastal areas, grow and change rapidly, reconfiguring in many cases through successful urban development strategies. Tourism specialization is considered a driver of urban transformation and environmental change. A key challenge facing cities for years to come will be understanding the critical role that tourism plays in urban policies and planning process. Our study focuses on Urban Political Ecology (UPE) as an emerging framework for analysis of socio-environmental change in metropolitan areas. Specifically, it allows to examine political, social, and ecological processes together with interests, power and relations shaping patterns and processes of urban change. After providing a brief review of UPE and how it expands toward tourism issues, the article examines Benidorm (Spain), Venice (Italy) and Mykonos (Greece) as representative examples of fast-growing, tourismspecialized Mediterranean urban areas. The case studies illustrate how tourism specialization has been for a long time a driver of change closely linked to urban processes. We conclude that UPE allows a comprehensive analysis of tourism's role, problems and potentials in the context of complex socioeconomic dynamics, contributing to identify effective policies governing future urbanization processes in coastal cities.

description: We quantify the effect of phase fluctuations on atom chip interferometry of Bose-Einstein condensates. At very low temperatures, we observe small phase fluctuations, created by mean-field depletion, and a resonant production of vortices when the two clouds are initially in anti-phase. At higher temperatures, we show that the thermal occupation of Bogoliubov modes makes vortex production vary smoothly with the initial relative phase difference between the two atom clouds. We also propose a technique to observe vortex formation directly by creating a weak link between the two clouds. The position and direction of circulation of the vortices is subsequently revealed by kinks in the interference fringes produced when the two clouds expand into one another. This procedure may be exploited for precise force measurement or motion detection.

description: The growing international demand for top medical services in combination with consumers' constant research for competitive prices in such services, has led to the growth of medical and health tourism in Greece, mainly because of the country's Mediterranean climate and its qualified health experts. In accordance with the above, the use of the Internet enables the Greek medical community to expand its marketing and advertising outside its borders. In this paper, the authors try to form a data base of the medical tourism providers in Greece and then they proceed in a website evaluation of the medical tourism providers in order to investigate and appraise their internet appearance. The results of the website evaluation can in turn lead to useful practical results with the aim of providing a successful e-marketing strategy implementation of the medical tourism providers.

description: The susceptibility of the transformed information to the filed and system parameters is investigated for the Kane solid state computer. It has been shown, that the field polarization and the initial state of the system play the central roles on the abrupt and gradual quench of the purity and the fidelity. If the field and the initial state are in different polarizations, then the purity and the fidelity decrease abruptly, while for the common polarization the decay is gradual and smooth. For some class of initial states one can send the information without any loss. Therefore, by controlling on the devices one can increase the time of safe communication, reduce the amount of exchange information between the state and its environment and minimize the purity decrease rate.

description: The steady state of a Langevin equation with short ranged memory and coloured noise is analyzed. When the fluctuation-dissipation theorem of second kind is not satisfied, the dynamics is irreversible, i.e. detailed balance is violated. We show that the entropy production rate for this system should include the power injected by ``memory forces''. With this additional contribution, the Fluctuation Relation is fairly verified in simulations. Both dynamics with inertia and overdamped dynamics yield the same expression for this additional power. The role of ``memory forces'' within the fluctuation-dissipation relation of first kind is also discussed.

Spazio psichico e organizzazione sociale in Neuromancer (1984) di William Gibson
Creators: name: Meozzi, Tommaso
Publisher: name: Firenze University Press
Year: 2014
Subjects: computing; cyberpunk; Neuromancer; paranoia; social organization

description: Neuromancer (1984) by William Gibson is a central text in the cyberpunk genre. This article analyzes how, in this book, computing is a metaphor used to represent some characteristics of the psyche and also a social organization not subject to review by a single person. Memory is individual, embodied, and changes continuously. Its transposition in external media has the price of a symbolic death for the subject. At the same time the impersonality of the social machines becomes the object of a psychological projection by the individual, and takes on anthropomorphic forms. The “Matrix” is the space of “virtual” relationships (in the sense of computing). Through simulative processes that take place in real time, it’s possible to make an illusory fusion of the subject with the social body which I, however, linked to a repression of the deeper drives, affective and individual experience. The story ends when the protagonist becomes able to distinguish between external reality and psychic life.

Visible Bullets: Critical Responses  to Shakespeare’s Representation of War
Creators: name: Pugliatti, Paola
Publisher: name: Firenze University Press
Year: 2014
Subjects: Early Modern Culture; Politics; Shakespeare Criticism; War

description: Although war is ubiquitous in Shakespeare, criticism on this topic has been sporadic and sparse. A seminal book by Paul Jorgensen, Shakespeare’s Military World, was published in 1956, but was not followed by other substantial literary studies. Not even “new historicism”, the critical movement developed in the 1980s and 1990s, and which was alert to the examination of all early modern cultural formations, devoted attention to the representation of war in Shakespeare. While, interestingly, in those same years, Shakesepare’s representation of war was examined by jurists in connection with the “just war” principles, it was only in the late 1990s that the topic started to gain ground in the work of professional Shakespeareans, as seen in the publications of a few book-length studies and collections of essays (de Somogyi, Taunton, Barker, King and Franssen, Pugliatti, Quabeck). This new wave of interest had also been preceded by seminars and conferences starting in 2003, a significant date with regard to the waging of war, with the invasion of Iraq and the war of aggression which followed. Indeed, as this article intends to show, the most crucial factor in determining, or reviving, interest in this dimension of Shakespeare have been the wars being waged in the world. It is certainly to be hoped that the study of war in Shakespeare may not again sink into oblivion; but, more importantly, it is hoped that its discussion may not be revived, as happened in the past, in the harsh light of more wars being waged around the world.

description: Gas cells containing ammonia and methane at atmospheric pressure were custom-made in our chemical laboratory. Low-resolution near-infrared spectroscopy of these gas cells were collected in our optical laboratory. They are compared with simulated spectra using the high-resolution transmission molecular absorption database (HITRAN) for temperatures of 300 K and 500 K, and with near-infrared spectra of late-T and Y dwarfs, Jupiter and Saturn. We selected for this investigation the spectral region between 1.5 and 1.7 microns (H-band) because it is covered by the Euclid red grism, it is particularly sensitive to the relative proportions of ammonia and methane opacity, and it is free from strong contributions of other abundant molecules such as water vapour. The laboratory spectra showed that the ammonia and methane features that are present in the simulations using the HITRAN database are incomplete. Using our laboratory spectra, we propose a modified version of the NH3-H spectral ratio with expanded integration limits that increases the amplitude of variation of the index with respect to spectral type. Combinations of our laboratory spectra were used to find the best fits to the observed spectra with the relative absorption ratio of ammonia to methane as a free parameter. A relationship was found between the T$\rm_{eff}$ and the ratio of ammonia to methane from spectral classes T5 to Y2 (1100 K -- 350 K), in qualitative fairly good agreement with theoretical predictions for high gravity objects and temperatures from 1100 K to 500 K. The ammonia to methane ratios in late-T and Y dwarfs are similar to that of Jupiter, suggesting a similar chemical composition. Simulations of the spectroscopic performance of Euclid suggest that it will yield T$\rm_{eff}$ values and ratios of ammonia to methane for over 10$^3$ late T dwarfs in the whole wide survey.

description: We study periodic homogenization problems for second-order pde in half-space type domains with Neumann boundary conditions. In particular, we are interested in "singular problems" for which it is necessary to determine both the homogenized equation and boundary conditions. We provide new results for fully nonlinear equations and boundary conditions. Our results extend previous work of Tanaka in the linear, periodic setting in half-spaces parallel to the axes of the periodicity, and of Arisawa in a rather restrictive nonlinear periodic framework. The key step in our analysis is the study of associated ergodic problems in domains with similar structure.
BOTTOM-UP APPROACH TO CLASSIFICATION OF TOURIST ATTRACTIONS: A CASE STUDY OF CROATIA
Creators: name: Klaric, Zoran
Publisher: name: tourismos
Year: 2017

description: This article discusses methodologies of identification and classification of tourist attractions based on the evaluation of attractions implemented in Croatia for the purpose of the Master Plan and Strategy of Tourism Development of the Republic of Croatia. After reviewing the existing methodologies in identification and classification of tourist attractions in the world and in Croatia, the article explains the approach used in the Master Plan, which has resulted in the list of approximately 280 spatiallydetermined attractions of international and national importance in Croatia. The list of attractions is used as a tool for the bottom-up approach of classification of tourist attractions in Croatia based on their type and importance. A proposal is made for the general classification of tourist attractions on the basis of the classification of attractions in Croatia as an example of a country with numerous and diverse attractions in a relatively small territory.

description: I address the issue of dust and gas as seeds for metal-poor star formation by reviewing what we know about star formation in nearby dwarf galaxies and its relationship to the gas and dust. I (try to) speculate on the extent to which processes in nearby galaxies mimic star formation in the early universe.

description: In this paper we apply the innovative Laplace transformation method introduced by Sheen, Sloan, and Thomée (IMA J. Numer. Anal., 2003) to solve the Black-Scholes equation. The algorithm is of arbitrary high convergence rate and naturally parallelizable. It is shown that the method is very efficient for calculating various options. Existence and uniqueness properties of the Laplace transformed Black-Scholes equation are analyzed. Also a transparent boundary condition associated with the Laplace transformation method is proposed. Several numerical results for various options under various situations confirm the efficiency, convergence and parallelization property of the proposed scheme.

description: We model an infinitely long liquid bridge confined between two plates chemically patterned by stripes of same width and different contact angle, where the three-phase contact line runs, on average, perpendicular to the stripes. This allows us to study the corrugation of a contact line in the absence of pinning. We find that, if the spacing between the plates is large compared to the length scale of the surface patterning, the cosine of the macroscopic contact angle corresponds to an average of cosines of the intrinsic angles of the stripes, as predicted by the Cassie equation. If, however, the spacing becomes of order the length scale of the pattern there is a sharp crossover to a regime where the macroscopic contact angle varies between the intrinsic contact angle of each stripe, as predicted by the local Young equation. The results are obtained using two numerical methods, Lattice Boltzmann (a diffuse interface approach) and Surface Evolver (a sharp interface approach), thus giving a direct comparison of two popular numerical approaches to calculating drop shapes when applied to a non-trivial contact line problem. We find that the two methods give consistent results if we take into account a line tension in the free energy. In the lattice Boltzmann approach, the line tension arises from discretisation effects at the diffuse three phase contact line.

A MANAGEMENT GUIDE FOR UNIVERSITY MUSEUMS FOCUSED IN THE CULTURAL TOURISM THE CASE OF THE “MUSEO DE ARTE DE LA UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL”
Creators: name: Rueda Esteban, Nancy Rocío
Publisher: name: tourismos
Year: 2021

description: Museums are essential institutions for the development of the society, and they have been shaping culture for years. Their functions have remained stable throughout their evolution, but today’s world is more demanding making them serve as touristic attractions too. University museums have an even greater commitment, not only to society, but also to academic community. This is why such institutions must find a way to be more efficient in their activities and more innovative in their exhibitions, and using strategic planning they can become selfsufficient over time. In order to offer an option, a guide for integral management is proposed as a tool with 7 steps, including planning, cultural tourism and marketing elements.
