Despite the massive growth of the tourism industry worldwide in the past years, there is still a noticeable scarcity in scientific and scholarly literature when it comes to the phenomenon of food tourism, or simply the awareness that food and beverages play a vital role within the tourism industry. Particularly in developing countries but also in cosmopolitan cities such as Shanghai, food tourism

Purpose – Although the significance of the learning organization concept is recognised in innovation management, there are only a few studies on the way in which a learning orientation affects new service development (NSD) in the hotel industry in Iran. This paper aims to fill that gap. Design/methodology/approach – A questionnaire is designed to ask hotel managers and owners for their thoughts o
In Part I of this study [1], good agreement between experimental measurements and results from Monte Carlo simulations were obtained for the spatial intensity distribution of a laser beam propagating within a turbid environment. In this second part, the validated Monte Carlo model is used to investigate spatial and temporal effects from distinct scattering orders on image formation. The contributi
Flow injection analysis provides a convenient platform for the use of biosensors in the monitoring of bio-processes. A major requirement in bioprocess monitoring is real time information about various process parameters like concentration of products and substrates, flow rates, and injection volumes. Depending on the application, the monitoring requirements vary and this results in a need for diff
The work as a social worker comes with a great responsibility when it comes to making decisions that may impact people's lives. The social worker has the opportunity to make a professional decision by using the information that has been provided from the clients. However, the social worker does not have the ability to make any decision based on their own preferences. They have the freedom of a
För att minska miljöpåverkan och minimera exploateringen av de begränsade tillgångar som finns så krävs en övergång till cirkulär ekonomi. Det innebär minskad materialkonsumtion och mer återanvändning och återvinning av plast och andra material. Förra året producerades i världen 359 millioner ton plast och av det insamlade avfallet i Europa blev endast en tred-jedel återvunnet. Bland de fem mest pTo reduce the environmental impact and minimize the exploitation of the depleting re-sources, the transition to a circular economy is vital. It proposes an economy of reduced ma-terial consumption and increased reuse and recycling of plastics and other materials. Only last year, 359 million tonnes of plastic were produced worldwide and only a third of the col-lected waste in Europe was recycled. A
Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur sjuksköterskor som arbetar inom avancerad sjukvård i hemmet (ASIH) upplever mötet med en döende människa i hemmet. Urvalet bestod av sju sjuksköterskor som arbetar inom ASIH i södra Sverige. Datainsamling skedde genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. Materialet analyserades med tematisk analys utifrån en fenomenologisk ansats. Dataanalysen resulterade i åtta temanThe aim of the study was to explore how nurses, working within palliative home care, experience meeting dying patients in their homes. The sample consisted of seven nurses working within palliative home care in southern Sweden. Data was collected by means of semi-structured interviews. A thematic analysis grounded in a phenomenological approach was used to analyze the data. The analysis resulted i
Title: (un)coachable Authors: Lena Andres and Karlijn de Wijs Supervisor: Roland Paulsen Keywords: Organizational stress management, life coaching, work-related stress Thesis purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the experience of life coaching as an additional stress management strategy for organizations to prevent and reduce work-related stress. Therewith gaining a deeper understan
The ongoing climate changes pose a serious threat to both societies and ecosystems globally. Intensification of extreme weather, floods in combination with heat waves and droughts are some of the challenges that require adaptable and sustainable solutions. Nature-based solutions (NBS) have been identified as a powerful tool for creating resilient and sustainable cities by integrating natural proce
When converting electric power from AC to DC, a 12-pulse converter is often used. Unfortunately, the converter creates harmonics superimposed on the DC voltage. These are removed by filters. A passive filter is normally used, but active filters may be added for improved performance. However, the drift in component values due to fluctuations in temperature and the change in load, makes it difficult
Working Capital Management (WCM) is a management tool used in large companies to optimize the use of cash by minimizing the amount of cash tied up in working capital accounts, in order to reduce the risk of insolvency and to increase profitability. One of the main reasons why start-ups fail is related to liquidity issues. Despite a wide acceptance regarding the importance of WCM for start-ups, the
The efficiency in an internal combustion engine ranges from 25% to 45%. About 50% - 85% of the overall energy losses in a combustion engine is heat which is either cooled away by the vehicle's radiator or blown out with the exhaust gases. The heat has to be cooled off by the vehicle's cooler and this energy is never put into use again and is therefore called 'waste heat'. Even if a
Thesis purpose: To identify relevant criteria underlying the partner selection process in a leading company in the consumer technology industry, as well as to subsequently analyse the influences which those criteria have on overall outcome. The intention is to draw valid implications for future research as well as for actors in similar market environments. Methodology: The researchers of this pa
I dagens snabbt föränderliga samhälle har teknologins inflytande djupt förvandlat olika aspekter av människors liv och medför både stora möjligheter och kritiska säkerhetsutmaningar. För att minska riskerna för dataintrång, skadliga attacker och övergripande cybersäkerhetshot vidtar företag proaktiva åtgärder genom att erbjuda utbildning och träning till sina anställda inom områdena cybersäkerhet In today's rapidly evolving society, the pervasive influence of technology has profoundly transformed various aspects of human life, presenting both unprecedented opportunities and critical security challenges. To mitigate the risks of data breaches, malicious attacks, and overall cyber threats, companies have taken proactive measures by providing education and training to their employees in t
The demand for biofuels is increasing as a result of increased climate mitigation ambitions aiming to replace the use of fossil fuels. To meet the increasing demand, energy crops grown on agricultural land used to produce biofuels is getting more and more attention. Since agricultural land is a scarce resource, conflicts can arise between food production and biomass for biofuels, making it essenti
In Sweden, it is reported that a lot of Social Services are having difficulties recruiting staff, especially experienced staff. With a high turnover rate and a great need for social workers in these areas of work, this study aimed to investigate social work students’ attitudes towards work with the exercise of public authority and try to detect which factors could be affecting these attitudes. The
Sand and dust storms (SDS) represent a significant and widespread obstacle to sustainable development, affecting its economic, social, and environmental dimensions. SDS pose severe challenges to achieving several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including the eradication of poverty, the achievement of zero hunger, the improvement of health and well-being, the provision of clean water and sani
Work related stress, including burnout, compassion fatigue and secondary traumatic stress, often occurs in professionals aspiring to support clients with traumatic experiences. The aim of this study was to examine how professional helpers understand and manage their work with clients who have experienced trauma. Examined issues were what challenges the professionals identified in their work, what
