"Portugal à Mesa"– Patrimónios alimentares, Identidade e Tradição: o olhar do turista
Creators: name: Araújo, Maria José

Year: 2021

description: Portugal é um conjunto de cozinhas regionais e é nesse conjunto que reside o verdadeiro valor da sua gastronomia, marcada pelos saberes e sabores da cozinha tradicional transmitidos de geração em geração, assente em sentimentos de partilha e hábitos de convivialidade. A partir de um livro de receitas impresso "Portugal à Mesa- Gastronomia Tradicional", procedeu-se à análise da estrutura da obra, de todos os pratos nele apresentados, dos ingredientes e condimentos que os compõem e dos modos de preparação e confeção utilizados. A publicação deste receituário em cinco línguas estrangeiras e a sua distribuição em pontos turísticos estratégicos, assumem-se como uma forma privilegiada e materializada de comunicação dos nossos patrimónios alimentares e gastronómicos àqueles que nos visitam, permitindo, através de um meio material - um livro de receitas, o prolongamento da memória e da relação com o destino. Estando Portugal inscrito na lista do Património Imaterial da Humanidade com a Dieta Mediterrânica desde 2013, pretendeu-se observar na fonte em análise a prevalência desta Dieta no que diz respeito aos patrimónios alimentares portugueses e a outros fatores identitários que esta dieta encerra, e se este livro de receitas promove uma adequada perspetiva comunicacional do conjunto de cozinhas e de territórios que constituem a nossa identidade alimentar. O turismo é, sobretudo, uma forma de conhecer e compreender outras culturas, promovendo o encontro entre o que "nós" oferecemos e o que os "outros" estão predispostos culturalmente a experienciar e apreciar, havendo poucas maneiras de o fazer de forma tão autêntica como através da gastronomia.

Robust Hybrid Zero-Order Optimization Algorithms with Acceleration via Averaging in Time

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)

description: We study novel robust zero-order algorithms with acceleration for the solution of real-time optimization problems. In particular, we propose a family of extremum seeking dynamics that can be universally modeled as singularly perturbed hybrid dynamical systems with restarting mechanisms. From this family of dynamics, we synthesize four fast algorithms for the solution of convex, strongly convex, constrained, and unconstrained optimization problems. In each case, we establish robust semi-global practical asymptotic or exponential stability results, and we show how to obtain well-posed discretized algorithms that retain the main properties of the original dynamics. Given that existing averaging theorems for singularly perturbed hybrid systems are not directly applicable to our setting, we derive a new averaging theorem that relaxes some of the assumptions made in the literature, allowing us to make a clear link between the KL bounds that characterize the rates of convergence of the hybrid dynamics and their average dynamics. We also show that our results are applicable to non-hybrid algorithms, thus providing a general framework for accelerated dynamics based on averaging theory. We present different numerical examples to illustrate our results.

description: The evaluation of tourist satisfaction is important for ensuring long-term survival in the competitive business environment. This study aimed to measure the tourists' satisfaction in Lake Kenyir, Malaysia from the perception of tourists. The study followed a non-probability convenience sampling technique for the sample selection and interviewed a total of 320 tourists from the study area for primary data collection. Respondents' perception had been studied with 39 statements under seven dimensions of service quality and a generalized linear regression modeling technique was applied to evaluate the respective contribution of the observed dimensions with tourists' satisfaction. Results revealed that responsiveness, tangibles, assurance, empathy, and price dimensions have statistically significantly related to tourists' satisfaction. Moreover, communication and environment dimensions do not have a significant contribution to tourists' satisfaction. Various steps should be taken for increasing tourists' satisfaction in Lake Kenyir such as, maintain sustainability and environmental quality, increase facilities, effective marketing

description: The role of the United States in international milk and dairy product markets has changed significantly in recent years. Although it seemed unexpected, the foundation for that change was laid following the 1994 signing of the Uruguay Round of GATT. The first decade of the 21st century also saw some important changes in the United States and in major dairy exporting areas around the world. Exploratory statistical analysis is undertaken to support assertions. There is at least some evidence that pre- and post-Uruguay round implementation periods are significantly different with respect to trade indicators. These preliminary findings suggest several avenues for further analysis.

The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich angular power spectrum as a probe of cosmological parameters
Creators: name: Komatsu, Eiichiro

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The angular power spectrum of the SZ effect, C_l, is a powerful probe of cosmology. It is easier to detect than individual clusters in the field, is insensitive to observational selection effects and does not require a calibration between cluster mass and flux, reducing the systematic errors which dominate the cluster-counting constraints. It receives a dominant contribution from cluster region between 20-40% of the virial radius and is thus insensitive to the poorly known gas physics in the cluster centre, such as cooling or (pre)heating. In this paper we derive a refined analytic prediction for C_l using the universal gas-density and temperature profile and the dark-matter halo mass function. The predicted C_l has no free parameters and fits all of the published hydrodynamic simulation results to better than a factor of two around l=3000. We find that C_l scales as (sigma_8)^7 times (Omega_b h)^2 and is almost independent of all of the other cosmological parameters. This differs from the local cluster abundance studies, which give a relation between sigma_8 and Omega_m. We also compute the covariance matrix of C_l using the halo model and find a good agreement relative to the simulations. We estimate how well we can determine sigma_8 with sampling-variance-limited observations and find that for a several-square-degree survey with 1-2 arcminute resolution one should be able to determine sigma_8 to within a few percent, with the remaining uncertainty dominated by theoretical modelling. If the recent excess of the CMB power on small scales reported by the CBI experiment is due to the SZ effect, then we find sigma_8(Omega_b h/0.029)^0.3 = 1.04 +- 0.12 at the 95% confidence level (statistical) and with a residual 10% systematic (theoretical) uncertainty.

description: COVID-19 is an outbreak caused in China and caused by a new type of coronavirus. Declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization, COVID-19 has caused and continues to have negative effects that leave deep traces throughout the world. The tourism industry is one of the area's most adversely aected by the pandemic. However, the restrictive effects of the outbreak, such as human mobility and interpersonal interaction in nature, mediated the balance of relations between nature and humans. In light of this information, this study aims to discuss the role of COVID-19 in the reconstruction of tourism. Curfews in the pandemic, while transforming people's lifestyles and behavior patterns around the world, it has allowed nature to renew itself. In the pandemic process, the reduction of air, noise and visual pollution in industrial cities and large metropolises, reduction of waste in water, reduction in environmental pollution and physical, social and environmental carrying capacity problems in many destinations have been eliminated. With the reduction of the eects of the pandemic, the foundations of a new normal life are being laid where people will pay attention to their social distance and wear masks. Within this new normal life, there is the possibility of building "new normal tourism" until medical requirements that can cure the outbreak are met

description: Sense of presence (SoP) has recently emerged as one of the key elements promoting the effectiveness of virtual reality-based training programs. In the context of wheelchair simulators (WSs), the effectiveness of the simulation has been sought using different perception and interaction devices, providing the end-users with different levels of SoP. We performed a scoping review searching scientific and grey literature databases with the aim of assessing the extent of published research dealing with SoP and effectiveness of WSs. Sixty-two articles, describing 29 WSs, were included in the review. In spite of promising results, the high heterogeneity of the employed technological solutions, of the training programs and of their outcomes precluded drawing definitive conclusions about the optimal solution for the enhancement of SoP and thus of WSs’ effectiveness. Future research should focus on controlled trials in order to help researchers in assessing the most suitable technologies and methodologies for the application of WSs in clinical practice.
Customer Brand Identification e sua influência na fidelização na hotelaria: Um estudo empírico

description: Customer Brand Identication (CBI) entende-se pela perceção e sentimentos do cliente em relação a uma determinada marca, bem como pela forma como esta lhe acarreta valor ao satisfazer as suas necessidades. O CBI é constituído por quarto dimensões: Brand Self-Similarity (BSS), Brand Social Benefits (BSB), Brand Identity (BI) e Memorable Brand Experiences (MBE). Este estudo teve como objetivo perceber a influência do CBI (e, em consequência, das suas dimensões) na fidelização e perceção do cliente em relação às marcas hoteleiras. Embora a importância do CBI já tenha sido reconhecida em alguns estudos, os seus efeitos na fidelização do cliente no contexto da hotelaria ainda se encontram relativamente por explorar. Investigações feitas em diferentes áreas de negócio produziram conclusões inconsistentes, originando a necessidade de analisar individualmente os efeitos na hotelaria. É a partir das técnicas de marketing que as marcas criam a sua própria identidade e desenvolvem o seu produto ou serviço em conformidade com as necessidades e motivações dos seus clientes. Ainda assim, mais importante do que atrair novos clientes, é satisfazer e fidelizar através das experiências e perceções. Através da realização de um inquérito, foi possível confirmar que o CBI, e as quatro dimensões que o compõem, têm uma grande influência na fidelização do cliente. Isto é, na hotelaria, os clientes procuram marcas que sejam distintas dos seus concorrentes, que tenham uma identidade própria e próxima dos seus valores, que proporcionem interações sociais positivas e experiências únicas e memoráveis. Além da fidelização, percebeu-se que o cliente tende a ter um comportamento mais favorável, a propagar um word of mouth positivo e a recomendar marcas que reúnem as condições de CBI.

description: We present ellipsoidal light-curve fits to the quiescent B, V, R and I light curves of GRO J1655-40 (Nova Scorpii 1994). The fits are based on a simple model consisting of a Roche-lobe filling secondary and an accretion disc around the black-hole primary. Unlike previous studies, no assumptions are made about the interstellar extinction or the distance to the source; instead these are determined self-consistently from the observed light curves. In order to obtain tighter limits on the model parameters, we used the distance determination from the kinematics of the radio jet as an additional constraint. We obtain a value for the extinction that is lower than was assumed previously; this leads to lower masses for both the black hole and the secondary star of 5.4 +/- 0.3 Msun and 1.45 +/- 0.35 Msun, respectively. The errors in the determination of the model parameters are dominated by systematic errors, in particular due to uncertainties in the modeling of the disk structure and uncertainties in the atmosphere model for the chemically anomalous secondary in the system. A lower mass of the secondary naturally explains the transient nature of the system if it is either in a late case A or early case B mass-transfer phase.

description: This study investigated the features of apps that speech–language pathologists (SLPs) deem to be beneficial for language intervention with children. The study employed an explanatory, sequential mixed-method approach. A self-developed online survey was distributed to SLPs (n = 338) who use apps. This was followed by a semi-structured interview with some participants (n = 16) in order to obtain further insights from the survey. The findings indicated that SLPs view apps as an engaging and motivating tool for therapy to facilitate their intervention goals. Specific content and design features of apps may support effective language intervention. However, these features need to be carefully evaluated in terms of the underlying principles of language intervention, multimedia learning, and learning. In addition, features of apps that may impede effective intervention must also be considered. The findings from the study highlight the need for SLPs to engage more deeply with the theory underlying multimedia learning and identify the active ingredients used in treatment. This information can be used to contribute to evidence-based practice when using apps for intervention. A feature-matching checklist was developed in order to guide SLPs in selecting apps based on the features of the app to facilitate language intervention.

description: A non--equilibrium occupation distribution relaxes towards the Fermi--Dirac distribution due to electron--electron scattering even in finite Fermi systems. The dynamic evolution of this thermalization process assumed to result from an optical excitation is investigated numerically by solving a Boltzmann equation for the carrier populations using a one--dimensional disordered system. We focus on the short time--scale behavior. The logarithmically long time--scale associated with the glassy behavior of interacting electrons in disordered systems is not treated in our investigation. For weak disorder and short range interaction we recover the expected result that disorder enhances the relaxation rate as compared to the case without disorder. For sufficiently strong disorder, however, we find an opposite trend due to the reduction of scattering probabilities originating from the strong localization of the single--particle states. Long--range interaction in this regime produces a similar effect. The relaxation rate is found to scale with the interaction strength, however, the interplay between the implicit and the explicit character of the interaction produces an anomalous exponent.

description: Skin of Niagara grapes is thin and light green, but browning and postharvest disease seriously shorten their storage life after harvest. In this study, we studied the effects of 1.0 μL L−1 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) combined with 200 μL L−1 SO2 on the grape quality of Niagara grapes. It was stored in cold storage for 6 days after cold storage at low temperature and modified atmosphere packaging. 1-MCP combined with SO2 can delay the consumption of nutrients and declined of textural characteristics by inhibiting the respiration rate and ethylene production rate. It also reduced the changes of antioxidant components and antioxidant enzyme activities to delay the decay, berry drop and browning, and to maintain a high marketable berry quality. In conclusion, postharvest 1-MCP combined with 200 μL L−1 SO2 treatment can effectively maintain the quality and prolonged the shelf life of Niagara grapes in modified atmosphere packaging.

description: O turismo náutico tem, atualmente, como segmento mais evidente o turismo de cruzeiros. Com o aumento significativo deste segmento turístico nos últimos anos, há cada vez mais a necessidade de estudo do seu impacto social, económico e ambiental nos locais onde existe este tipo de atividade. Neste seguimento, o presente estudo tem como principal foco perceber o contributo do turismo náutico para o desenvolvimento de uma região, em concreto, a importância do rio Douro para o desenvolvimento da Região Demarcada do Alto Douro Vinhateiro. Para o efeito, proceder-se-á à recolha de dados de natureza qualitativa com recurso a entrevistas semiestruturadas a gestores e stakeholders no Douro e Porto e Norte de Portugal e, seguidamente, um grupo de foco junto da comunidade local. Os resultados parecem evidenciar que o turismo náutico, nomeadamente o turismo de cruzeiros, tem um impacto significativo no desenvolvimento económico, social e ambiental das regiões. A nível económico e social, este impacto é positivo e serve de alavanca para o crescimento económico e para o desenvolvimento social, especialmente de locais menos desenvolvidos. No que diz respeito ao fator ambiental, a controvérsia é maior uma vez que os efeitos negativos aparentam ser mais e ter maior impacto do que os positivos.

description: We present bright galaxy number counts in five broad bands ($u', g', r', i', z'$) from imaging data taken during the commissioning phase of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The counts are derived from two independent stripes of imaging scans along the Celestial Equator, one each toward the North and the South Galactic cap, covering about 230 and 210 square degrees, respectively. A careful study is made to verify the reliability of the photometric catalog. For galaxies brighter than $r^* = 16$, the catalog produced by automated software is examined against eye inspection of all objects. Statistically meaningful results on the galaxy counts are obtained in the magnitude range $12 \le r^* \le 21$, using a sample of 900,000 galaxies. The counts from the two stripes differ by about 30% at magnitudes brighter than $r^*= 15.5$, consistent with a local $2σ$ fluctuation due to large scale structure in the galaxy distribution. The shape of the number counts-magnitude relation brighter than $r^* = 16$ is well characterized by $N \propto 10^{0.6m}$, the relation expected for a homogeneous galaxy distribution in a ``Euclidean'' universe. In the magnitude range $ 16 < r^* < 21$, the galaxy counts from both stripes agree very well, and follow the prediction of the no-evolution model, although the data do not exclude a small amount of evolution. We use empirically determined color transformations to derive the galaxy number counts in the $B$ and $I_{814}$ bands. We compute the luminosity density of the universe at zero redshift in the five SDSS bands and in the $B$ band. We find ${\cal L}_{B} = 2.4 \pm 0.4 \times 10^8L_\odot h $Mpc$^{-3}$, for a reasonably wide range of parameters of the Schechter luminosity function in the $B$ band.

description: Cultural landscapes are important key components in attracting tourists. In many destinations such as the city of Isfahan, calligraphic art creates a cultural landscape. This study is an initial attempt to investigate promoting tourism in Isfahan by offering a new travel package with an emphasis on calligraphy. Regarding this, four objectives were pursued: 1) to explore strategies which can promote tourism with an emphasis on calligraphy, 2) to evaluate tourists' interest towards learning and gaining experience in calligraphy; 3) to investigate the attitude of tourists towards calligraphy tours; and 4) to measure tourists' awareness of calligraphic art. A qualitative-quantitative method was used in this study. The results demonstrated that educational programmes, events, marketing and product development are strategies, which can boost art tourism in Isfahan. Moreover, the results of the quantitative method illustrated that the tourists have low awareness regarding Islamic calligraphic arts in Isfahan. However, they are interested in learning and gaining experience in calligraphy and they welcome calligraphy tours in Isfahan.

description: We present time-resolved optical spectroscopy and photometry of the nova-like cataclysmic variable V348 Puppis. The system displays the same spectroscopic behaviour as SW Sex stars, so we classify V348 Pup as a new member of the class. V348 Pup is the second SW Sex system (the first is V795 Herculis) which lies in the period gap. The spectra exhibit enhanced HeII 4686 emission, reminiscent of magnetic cataclysmic variables. The study of this emission line gives a primary velocity semi-amplitude of K1 ~= 100 km/s. We have also derived the system parameters, obtaining: M1 ~= 0.65 Msun, M2 ~= 0.20 Msun (q ~= 0.31), i ~= 80 deg and K2 ~= 323 km/s. The spectroscopic behaviour of V348 Pup is very similar to that of V795 Her, with the exception that V348 Pup shows deep eclipses. We have computed the ``0.5-absorption'' spectrum of both systems, obtaining spectra which resemble the absorption spectrum of a B0 V star. We propose that absorption in SW Sex systems can be produced by a vertically extended atmosphere which forms where the gas stream re-impacts the system, either at the accretion disc or at the white dwarf's magnetosphere (assuming a magnetic scenario).

description: At this time, the lack of public knowledge of the quality
and the expiration of pasteurized milk and also many pasteurized milk producers, ignoring the hygiene production sites as well as the inclusion of the expiration date on the product packaging will have an impact on the health of the consumer. The process of pasteurization does not kill all the exist bacteria, so that the shelf life of pasteurized milk is no more than 7-10 days at temperature of 7oC.
The Processing on purple sweet potato processing industry, only utilize the tuber alone and remaining waste in the form of purple sweet potato skin. However sweet potato skins contain anthocyanins which can be utilized as an indicator of spoilage to the pasteurized milk. Therefore, we utilize a combination of cassava starch and anthocyanins extract from purple sweet potatoes to be smart packaging with the changes color indicator as a marker of damage to the milk.
The aim of this study was to create the malfunction indicator of milk by exploiting the potential of waste leather purple sweet potato and cassava starch as a natural result of Indonesia so as to protect and educate the community in choosing the quality of pasteurized milk. The principle works is when the condition of the milk is still fresh, the indicator will be purple. Then the indicator will gradually turn red when the milk become sour as the duration of storage.
Results showed that the edible film changes color when given HCl. However, edible film which soaked milk turned into brittle texture and destroyed, as well as edible film does not change color. Edible films seem to be degraded. Besides, the color fading from purple edible film becomes transparent. Regardless of the color of anthocyanin edible film so that the edible film can not indicate a change in the pH of the milk. According to the literature, the need for additional binder color pigments natural materials so that the
color does not fade edible film. Further research is needed to create a better product. The research is still ongoing

The study is very clear on the fact that social media does have a considerable impact on the choice of tourist destinations among the University students. Though not conclusive, a couple of demographic variables are important in the context of the impact of social media on the choice of tourist destinations as found from the detailed investigation of selected demographic variables.

description: Broadband $BVRI$ light curves of SN 2017eaw in NGC 6946 reveal the classic elements of a Type II-P supernova. The observations were begun on 16 May 2017 (UT), approximately 1 day after the discovery was announced, and the photometric monitoring was carried out over a period of nearly 600 days. The light curves show a well-defined plateau and an exponential tail which curves slightly at later times. An approximation to the bolometric light curve is derived and used to estimate the amount of $^{56}$Ni created in the explosion; from various approaches described in the literature, we obtain $M$($^{56}{\rm Ni}$) = 0.115 ($-$0.022,+0.027)$M_{\odot}$. We also estimate that 43\% of the bolometric flux emitted during the plateau phase is actually produced by the $^{56}$Ni chain. Other derived parameters support the idea that the progenitor was a red supergiant.

description: The Nubian ibex (Capra nubiana) is patchily distributed across parts of Africa and Arabia. In Oman, it is one of the few free-ranging wild mammals found in the central and southern regions. Its population is declining due to habitat degradation, human expansion, poaching and fragmentation. Here, we investigated the population's genetic diversity using mitochondrial DNA (D-loop 186 bp and cytochrome b 487 bp). We found that the Nubian ibex in the southern region of Oman was more diverse (D-loop HD; 0.838) compared to the central region (0.511) and gene flow between them was restricted. We compared the genetic profiles of wild Nubian ibex from Oman with captive ibex. A Bayesian phylogenetic tree showed that wild Nubian ibex form a distinct clade independent from captive animals. This divergence was supported by high mean distances (D-loop 0.126, cytochrome b 0.0528) and high FST statistics (D-loop 0.725, cytochrome b 0.968). These results indicate that captive ibex are highly unlikely to have originated from the wild population in Oman and the considerable divergence suggests that the wild population in Oman should be treated as a distinct taxonomic unit. Further nuclear genetic work will be required to fully elucidate the degree of global taxonomic divergence of Nubian ibex populations.

description: The motivations to visit archaeological tourism destinations vary, ranging from history enthusiast, leisure lover, adventurer to conservationist. However, not all archaeological sites are able to capture the tourists' attention since there are many other famous archaeological sites competing against one another. Thus, developing a strong and unique brand identity for a destination is significantly important in order to be distinctive from other destinations. Hence, this present study aims to examine the dimensions of brand personality of archaeological sites in Malaysia and to evaluate its prediction on tourists' revisit intention. This study employs exploratory factor analysis and multiple linear regression to analyze the data collected from Bujang Valley (305) and Lenggong Valley World Heritage Site (300). Findings indicate that tourists ascribe dierent personality dimensions to these archaeological sites. The brand personality of Bujang Valley is translated to sophistication, sincerity, contemporary, ruggedness, and excitement, while the brand personality of Lenggong Valley World Heritage Site is translated to excitement, contemporary, sophistication, ruggedness, and sincerity. The results from this present study further enriches the tourism literature and provides noteworthy solutions for destination marketing organizations in utilizing brand personality to build a unique identity for these archaeological sites in Malaysia.
