Lóránt Dávid Balzhan Shilibekova Roman Plokhikh

Publication Name: Geojournal of Tourism and Geosites

Publication Date: 2024-01-01

Volume: 57

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 2060-2070

Description:

Global digitalization dramatically affects tourism actions, varying the principles of its organization, data support and the traveler himself. The main goal of the study is to analyze the digitalization process of the tourism industry at the current stage of development and its state in Kazakhstan. The article considers the issues related to the impact of electronic technology on the growth and progress of digitalization in tourism. An overview of examples for the tourism digital technologies is provided. Crucial new trends in the industry of tourism associated to digitalization are identified. The conducted research on the application of several scientific methods and technologies of information processing was based. In particular: bibliometric analysis in the field of tourism digitalization and digital ecosystems; study of Kazakhstan’ tourist Internet portals; survey of representatives of Kazakhstan’ travel agencies and modeling based on regression ordinal model. Bibliometric analysis was used to study the success level implementation of the activities in the field of tourism digitalization. This method was as a basis for identifying gaps, formed and future trends in the field of digital tourism ecosystem. The data source was the databases, which includes a wide range of publications on tourism scientific issues. The main analysis of articles was carried out in the special software Voyant Tools. Two additional research methods in this paper are applied: content analysis and modeling based on regression ordinal model. The current state of the market place in tourism, the level of application of elements of digital technologies in the sphere of tourism based on Kazakhstan' tourist platphorms is evaluated. With the help of a survey it was analyzed the degree of penetration of digital technologies currently used by companies in the local tourism market.

The use and abuse of legal history. On the nature of the censorial regimen morum

Gergely Deli

Publication Name: Journal on European History of Law

Publication Date: 2021-01-01

Volume: 12

Issue: 1

Page Range: 138-144

Description:

The paper analyses the nature of enforcement within the censorial regimen morum (CRM) in Ancient Rome by taking into consideration various Latin legal and literary sources. It comes to the conclusion that CRM could be seen as a transitional institution in a system which evolved from a formerly domaninant collective or decentralized to a more centralized enforcement. It also enriches the debate on the concept of law through historical insights by claiming that a social order can meaningfully called a legal order only if centralized production and enforcement of norms had been already added to the consensus of some commonly shared values.

Unveiling latent topics in the interplay of Circular Economy and Energy Transition: A Topic Modelling approach

Pasquale Marcello Falcone Patrizio Giganti

Publication Name: Resources Conservation and Recycling

Publication Date: 2025-06-01

Volume: 219

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

The Circular Economy (CE) and Energy Transition (ET) are crucial solutions for addressing global environmental challenges caused by linear economic models and fossil-based energy systems. Both approaches focus on enhancing energy and resource efficiency while minimizing environmental impacts. This Topic Modelling-based review identifies latent topics within the CE and ET academic literature, tackling the challenge of subjectivity found in traditional reviews. Using Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), six topics are identified. Each topic sheds light on how crucial elements – such as economic and social sustainability, technological innovation, material management and electrification, waste management, local development, and regulatory policies – are interconnected with CE and ET. Together, these elements contribute to a more cohesive and effective transition. The study emphasizes the need for coordinated strategies and targeted policies to ensure that CE and ET not only coexist but also complement and strengthen each other. This holistic approach is vital for fostering a sustainable future that balances economic growth with environmental conservation.

Description of Ixodes lanigeri sp. nov., a new hard tick species (Acari, Ixodidae) collected from mouse-eared bats (Vespertilionidae, Myotis) in Vietnam

Ai Takano Jenő Kontschán Yasuhiro Gotoh Vuong Tan Tu Sándor Hornok Alexandre Hassanin

Publication Name: Zookeys

Publication Date: 2024-01-01

Volume: 2024

Issue: 1215

Page Range: 107-125

Description:

Historically, for more than one and a half centuries, only one so-called “long-legged bat tick” species, i.e., Ixodes vespertilionis Koch was known to science. However, during the past decade, it was recognized on a molecular basis that long-legged ixodid ticks associated with bats may represent at least six species. Of these, until recently, five have been morphologically described. In this study, Ixodes ticks were collected from two Myotis species in southeastern Asia, Vietnam. Based on the morphological and molecular characteristics of the female, nymph and larva, Ixodes lanigeri Hornok, sp. nov. is described here. The male is unknown. Like other members of the Ixodes ariadnae complex, I. lanigeri Hornok apparently shows a preference for vesper bats as its typical hosts. In this context, host-association and geographical separation may explain the evolutionary divergence of I. lanigeri Hornok from its closest relative occurring on Murina hilgendorfi Peters in East Asia, Japan, because no Myotis or Murina spp. have overlapping distribution between Vietnam and the main islands of Japan. On the other hand, supposing that (similarly to I. ariadnae) I. lanigeri Hornok probably occurs on other myotine bats and knowing that several Myotis species indigenous in Vietnam have a broad geographical range in southern and southeastern Asia, the new tick species most likely has a widespread distribution in this area.

Description:

In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in the legend for Figure 1 and Figure 4. A map legend can be explained either by text within the figure (where space permits) or by numbering the conventional signs within the figure, and explaining them below the figure (where space is more limited). In Figure 1 and Figure 4, the second method of explanation was initially used (by means of the numbers explained under the figure), but later, according to the indications received from the referents, the numbers in the figures were replaced by their explanations (according to the version uploaded on 3 September 2023). Due to an unfortunate error, in the version uploaded on 6 September 2023, Figure 1 and Figure 4 were uploaded with the conventional numbered signs in the legend, but without the explanation of the numbers below the figure, making the figures much more difficult to explain. Therefore, we request that these two figures be replaced with their variant, where the legend is explained in the text, as indicated by the referents. The correct legend appears below. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.

A friction and wear study of laboratory aged engine oil in the presence of diesel fuel and oxymethylene ether

Ibolya Zsoldos András Lajos Nagy Jan Knaup

Publication Name: Tribology Materials Surfaces and Interfaces

Publication Date: 2019-01-02

Volume: 13

Issue: 1

Page Range: 20-30

Description:

Non-fossil fuels for the commercial and passenger vehicle sector are gaining more importance due to their positive effects on exhaust gas emissions. Ongoing research investigating a broad variety of biofuels, synthetic fuels and regenerative fuels shows that a reduction of CO 2 emissions can be possible without major modifications to the existing vehicle infrastructure. An internal combustion engine is a complex system of physical and chemical mechanisms, all of which contribute to the performance output, exhaust gas composition, durability and longevity of the engine. Modifying the fuel will not only result in differing chemical reactions and thermodynamic efficiency but will also affect friction and wear through the dilution and degradation of the lubricant. This study aims to investigate the variation of friction and wear in a model system due to the introduction of oxymethylene ether and regular diesel fuel to the lubricant. High-frequency reciprocating rig experiments will be carried out on 100Cr6 steel specimen with laboratory aged fully formulated commercially available SAE 0W-20 grade engine oil containing defined amounts of OME 3−5 and regular diesel fuel. The surface of the steel specimen will be analysed using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy.
