ANALYSIS OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN TOURISM INDUSTRY USING CANVAS METHODOLOGY

In today’s world, digital transformation is a common term, and in many cases rather necessary. It refers to integration of digital technology into all areas of business, which changes the whole business and the way a business operates and brings value to its customers. Digital transformation and technology innovations are something that many businesses undergo nowadays to increase, strengthen and secure their competitiveness on the market. With the technological changes, customer’s needs and preferences also change, which is a big challenge for a company.
 This thesis will provide an in-depth analysis of digital transformation in tourism industry. Tourism industry started adopting digital transformation very early. It experienced many changes led by digital disruptions, which changed every single aspect of the industry. This thesis will firstly provide a theoretical background of digital transformation as well as its key drivers and strategies. Later on, it will look more into digital transformation of tourism industry. The goal is to understand which are the industry specific key drivers of transformation, and what are the key trends that many firms implemented when it comes to transformation of this specific industry. Later on, the importance of digital business model will be explained with comprehensive analysis of all of its nine building blocks. Lastly, there will be provided a case study on Expedia, which is one of the biggest travel platforms in the world. Expedia is one of the best examples of successful digital transformation in this industry. The goal is, through analysis of their digital business model using canvas methodology, to point out how did they keep up with trends and what technological innovations did they provide to their customers in order to maximize their satisfaction and provide them with increased personalization. For even better understanding, Expedia will be compared with Booking, which is also an example of very successful digital transformation in the same industry. After the analysis is done, critical review will be provided and followed by the future trends and possibilities for this industry and lastly, a conclusion.

Male Self-Disclosure of HIV-Positive Serostatus to Sex Partners

HIV-positive men face multiple challenges when deciding whether or not to disclose their serostatus to sex partners. This survey design using repeated measures examined disclosure of HIV-positive serostatus to sex partners in an ethnically diverse population of men (N= 93) recruited from the community in O'ahu, Hawai'i. The framework guiding the research was Social Cognitive Theory (Bandura, 1987), with a specific focus on self-efficacy for disclosure decision-making and for negotiating safe sex. The aims of the research were to: 1) describe HIV serostatus disclosure to sex partners; 2) describe self-efficacy for disclosure to sex partners and self-efficacy for negotiating safer sex; 3) determine the relationships between demographic, HIV-illness, drug use history, self-efficacy and sex partner variables (relationship status, serostatus), and self-disclosure, and; 4) determine the relationships between demographic, HIV-illness, drug use history, self-efficacy, sex partner variables, self-disclosure, and condom use by the men in the sample. A convenience sample of HIV-seropositive men was enlisted through both active outreach and passive recruitment (posters and public advertisement). Survey responses were anonymous, as the subject matter being asked was sensitive in nature. Results reveal that self-disclosure to sex partners varied based on sex partner serostatus and relationship status, and was significantly influenced by perceived self-efficacy, by income, education, years since diagnosis and contextual factors including cocaine use before sex. Subjects were least likely to disclose to a sex partner whose serostatus was not discussed. An unknown partner serostatus was also significantly associated with less disclosure. The more committed the relationship, the greater the likelihood that a subject would self­ disclose. The longer the time since initial HIV diagnosis the more likely a subject was to disclose to sex partners. High self-efficacy scores were associated with self-disclosure, and with condom use. Cocaine use before sex was associated with less disclosure and less condom use. Self-disclosure was significantly associated with condom use as well. Although a causal relationship is not implied, self-disclosure practices did influence safe sex behavior. Implications for nursing and for future research are discussed.

MAP OF SURFICIAL GEOLOGIC MATERIALS OF NEW MEXICO NEARS COMPLETION

John W. Hawley, along with colleagues, has been working on a surficial geologic map of New Mexico since the mid 1970s.Surficial data for the state were compiled predominantly in the 1980s on USGS 1:250,000 topographic quadrangles.Map units were differentiated into three orders of classification: 1) major genetic materials and their relative ages, 2) lithologic character of clasts and bedrock terranes, and 3) particle size and dominant textural classes.Point symbols for volcanic features were also depicted.These efforts culminated in a wealth of data, which in turn led to extreme challenges for cartographic organization and digital production.Two separate efforts in the mid 1990s and 2000-01 failed to produce either a surficial map or a digital product.

Marțial și împărații

Martial dedicated many epigrams to the four successive emperors of Rome with whom he had been contemporary: Titus, Domitian, Nerva and Trajan. In all the poet’s volumes, his epigrams were similar with respect of their underlying strategy even if they were praising a different sovereign. Each time the poet depicted the current emperor as a perfect ruler, endowed with the most noble virtues and in total contrast with the previous monarch who was loaded with vices. During the reign of Nerva, while recurring to his usual tactics of praising the current leader and attacking the previous one, Martial arrived in the position of posthumously denigrating Domitian whom he had adulated many years before.

Influence of mechanical pressure on space charge penetration behavior in low-density polyethylene (LDPE) sheet

Space charge penetration into bulk of cable insulation is known as the cause of insulation breakdown thus affecting the cable power delivery capability. Penetration of packet-like positive space charge enhances local field and when the field increases up to 5 MV/cm before breakdown occurs. Exactly before the breakdown occurs, space charge penetration seems stagnant as it is prevented to penetrate further into cathode. The generated Maxwell force is assumed to press the free volume of the insulation thus reducing the size of the free volume itself. A pulsed-electroacoustic (PEA) equipment capable to press the sample up to 5 ton is developed. Sample used in this study is a 150 pm low-density polyethylene (LDPE) sheet. The sample is stressed with positive dc voltage so that the mean applied field is equal to 1.5 MV/cm. The range of pressure applied to the sample is from 0 MPa and 32 MPa. The penetration gradually reduces with the increase of pressure. Sample pressed with 32 MPa showed the least penetration depth as little as 5 % of the sample thickness. As a comparison, space charge penetration of sample with 0 MPa pressure is as depth as 85 % of the sample thickness. This shows that space charge penetration is restricted when sample is pressed. The result obtained shows that it requires at least 24 MPa to suppress space charge penetration.

Stratified Odds Ratios for Evaluating NBA Players Based on their Plus/Minus Statistics

In this paper, I estimate adjusted odds ratios by fitting stratified logistic regression models to binary response variables, games won or lost, with plus/minus statistics as explanatory variables. Adapted from ice hockey, the plus/minus statistic credits an NBA player one or more points whenever his team scores while he is on the basketball court. Conversely, the player is debited minus one or more points whenever the opposing team scores. Throughout the NBA season, the league's better players are likely to have positive plus/minus statistics as reported by Yahoo!Sports and 82games.com. Crude or unadjusted odds ratios estimate the relative probabilities of a player having a positive plus/minus in a win, versus a negative plus/minus in a loss. Home and away games are twin strata with teams playing 41 home games and 41 road games during an 82-game regular season. Stratum-specific odds ratios vary because some players perform better at home than on the road and vice versa. In order to adjust for home court advantage, stratified odds ratios and their 95 percent confidence intervals are estimated for each of the Los Angeles Lakers during the 2009-2010 regular season.

[The combined treatment of locally disseminated pancreatic cancer using cryosurgery].

Experimental cryodestruction of the pancreas performed in 40 dogs served as a basis for selecting the temperature regimen, exposure time and extent of treatment to be subsequently used in man. Cryodestruction and combined cryoradiotherapy were employed in 30 patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. The procedure proved effective as it assured alleviation of pain, improvement in performance status and an increase in survival. CA-19-9 level and T-lymphocyte count were followed. These markers may be used to predict progression of pancreatic cancer.

Long-Term Clinical Outcomes of Oral Antidiabetic Drugs as Fixed-Dose Combinations: A Nationwide Retrospective Cohort Study

Abstract Objectives: Patients with type 2 diabetes often require more than one medication for glycemic control. Although single pill fixed-dose combinations (FDC) might improve adherence, its impact on clinical outcomes remains unclear. We compared treatment patterns and clinical outcomes of FDC and two-pill combination (TPC) therapies using real-world data. Methods: We conducted a nationwide retrospective cohort study using South Korea’s healthcare database (2002–2015). We identified two cohorts of incident patients with type 2 diabetes who initiated FDC or TPC therapy within 4 months of their first prescription for metformin or sulfonylurea. We examined persistence and adherence patterns and the clinical outcome of a composite endpoint of death or hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, or stroke and compared the differences in treatment patterns and clinical outcomes using Cox models. Results: Of 5,143 and 10,974 patients who initiated FDC and TPC therapy, respectively, we identified 5,143 patient pairs after propensity score matching. The FDC group exhibited greater median time to treatment discontinuation (163 versus 146 days), and proportion of days covered (PDC) at 12 months (mean 0.60 versus 0.57, P &lt; 0.0001) and at 24 months (0.53 versus 0.51, P=0.014) than the TPC group. The FDC group, compared with the TPC group, had reduced risks of the composite clinical outcome (hazard ratio 0.74, 95% confidence intervals 0.57–0.95) and hospitalization for stroke (0.68, 0.49–0.94). Conclusion: FDC therapy may provide favorable cardiovascular benefits, especially reducing the risk of hospitalization for stroke, and have better medication adherence among patients with type 2 diabetes.

Sustainability of Lolium multiflorum L. ‘Cajamarquino Ecotype’, Associated with Trifolium repens L., at Three Cutting Frequencies in the Northern Highlands of Peru

Livestock farming feed in the northern highlands of Peru is based on the association of ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L.) ecotype cajamarquino–white clover (Trifolium repens L.) Ladino variety, which constantly varies in its agronomic characteristics and nutritional value due to management considerations and its association with the soil and the animal. The objective of this study was to evaluate yield, plant height, growth rate, tillering, tiller number, spikelets, basal diameter in ryegrass, elongation rate, internode length and decline points in clover over one year. Nutritive value was represented by crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), in vitro digestibility of dry matter (IVDDM) and metabolisable energy (ME) at three cutting frequencies (30, 45 and 60 days). Better yield (5588 kg DM ha) and plant height (47.1 cm) were shown by the 60-day cutting frequency; however, there was no difference (p &gt; 0.05) between the three cutting frequencies in annual yield. There were no differences between the number of tillers and basal diameter. Clover height, elongation rate and internode length were higher at 60 days. The highest CP concentration and the lowest NDF value (p &lt; 0.05) were achieved by clover at 30 and 45 days. Producers should consider the results when deciding when to use this association in dairy cattle feeding.

Intuitive Moral Bias Favors the Religiously Faithful: Evidence from Two Societies

Belief in powerful supernatural agents that enforce moral norms has been theoretically linked with cooperative altruism and prosociality. Correspondingly, prior research reveals an implicit association between atheism and extreme antisociality (e.g., serial murder). However, findingscentered on associations between lack of faith and moral transgression do not directly address the hypothesized conceptual association between religious belief and prosociality. Accordingly, we conducted two pre-registered experiments depicting a “serial helper” to assess biases related to extraordinary helpfulness, mirroring designs depicting a serial killer used in prior cross-cultural work. In both a predominantly religious society (the U.S., Study 1) and a predominantly secular society (New Zealand, Study 2), we successfully replicated previous research linking atheism with transgression, and obtained evidence for a substantially stronger conceptual association between religiosity and virtue. The results suggest that stereotypes linking religiosity with prosociality areboth real and global in scale.

Prevention of demineralization around orthodontic brackets using two different fluoride varnishes

ABSTRACT Objective: This parallel controlled clinical trial evaluated the effect of a gel containing Lippia sidoides essential oil on plaque and gingivitis control. Methods: Thirty patients (n=30) were randomly selected and allocated into three groups: Lippia sidoides (LS, n=10), chlorhexidine (CLX, n=10) or placebo (control, n=10). Plaque and bleeding index were recorded at baseline and after three months. All volunteers were instructed to brush with the gel three times a day throughout the experiment period. Results: There was a significant reduction on plaque and gingivitis in the test groups (P&lt;.05), but no statistically significant difference was observed between them (P&lt;.05). Conclusion: A gel preparation containing 10% Lippia sidoides essential oil was an efficient herbal antiplaque and antigingivitis agent. (Eur J Dent 2013;7:28-34)

Teams Construct Knowledge During Project-Driven Social Interactions

The educational model of the twentieth century has become obsolete partly because we did not pay enough attention to facilitating interaction and collaboration between learners and partly because it has been rendered irrelevant to real life. The replacement of the teacher-centered paradigm with the childcentered paradigm is not a sufficient condition for promoting collaboration, and it does not, by itself, encourage more interactions between individual learners. Interactions require structured methodologies, and collaboration requires a purpose. In this chapter, we highlight how a project-driven construction of knowledge is achieved when (1) projects are socially relevant, (2) projects are carried out as group activities, (3) technology serves to create the learning space, and (4) structured methodologies facilitate meaningful, well-organized interactions between the members of the project team.
