Identifying unique features of Norway destination image: Evidence from user-generated content

While there has been considerable research on the concept of destination image, there is a notable gap in the literature regarding exploring Norway's destination image (DI) through User-Generated Content (UGC). This study uses content analysis to identify the key themes that appear in tourists’ UGC and are associated with satisfaction and dissatisfaction. Our research results demonstrated nine dominant themes in descriptions of Norway travel experiences: “Norway,” “places,” “train,” “hiking,” “rental,” “expensive,” “hotel,” “northern lights,” and “restaurants.” The themes used with negative comments were “train,” “rental,” and “expensive.” The benefits of incorporating UGC in tourist research are highlighted by the excellent insights acquired. The findings also provide a visual depiction of the primary themes and concepts in visitors' narratives, allowing for a better understanding of the key features of destination image.

An Update on Eating Disorders

Abstract: It is no surprise that eating disorders (EDs) are increasing all over the planet. With the emergence of global westernization, development in technology, and societal changes, nearly all regions of the globe have been influenced by the concept of a perfect body image and height. EDs are a considerable public concern, a bewilderment for psychologists and a challenge for physicians. The primary EDs include anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), and binge eating disorder (BED). AN is an ED that is psychological and possibly life-threatening. Usually, people with AN experience an exceedingly low body weight due to their height and body shape. The highest rate of occurrence is between 14 and 17 years of age. BN is an extreme, lifethreatening, neurological ED in which you have binge eating cycles. You may not have any sense of balance in your diet throughout these binges. The weight-control engagement of patients with AN and BN results in various physiological shifts. EDs can control your lives and can be quite hard to cope with. Yet you will develop a better understanding of who you are by therapy, return to healthy eating and exercise, and undo any of the severe complications of AN. Investigation into EDs has yielded valuable new information over the past few decades, notably involving the psychological features and care of patients. The purpose of this study/review is to expand the knowledge of the people about these EDs, their global burden, diagnostic criteria, risk factors, medical complications, management, and the newly added avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder.

Subtomographic imaging of a polarisation sensitive phase pattern localised in phase space

A transparent polarisation-sensitive phase pattern changes the phase of transmitted light without absorption, whereas this change of phase depends on the polarisation of incident light. A position-localised polarisation-dependent phase pattern is imprinted onto the phase-space of atoms by using atomic state dependent velocity-selective hole burning. A phase-space localised pattern is a higher dimensional generalisation of patterns localised in the position-space. Such a pattern cannot be imaged with a lens. The imprinted pattern is localised in a unique three-dimensional subspace of the six-dimensional phase-space of atoms. The phase-space localised pattern transforms the polarisation of light transmitting through it. This pattern is tomographically imaged at room temperature by measuring the intensity of the transmitted imaging laser beam of variable frequency with a camera after its polarisation analysis. Two sub-tomographs of the imprinted phase-space localised pattern are constructed. This paper presents a concept and experiment of imprinting and imaging of a polarisation-sensitive phase pattern localised in the phase-space.

Statuses of Mentioning 4 Biggest Clubs with Positive-Negative Concepts in Sports Columns and Club Images

Kulüpler hakkındaki köşe yazılarının olumlu veya olumsuz olması, kulüplerin imajı ve geleceği açısından oldukça önemlidir. Bu durumun araştırılması amacıyla bu çalışmada, 4 büyük kulübün spor köşe yazılarında olumlu ve olumsuz kavramlarla birlikte anılma durumları ve bunların kulüp imajına etkileri ortaya konulmuştur. Tirajı en yüksek 5 gazeteden 52 spor köşe yazarına ait 2017-2021 yılları arasındaki yazılardan içeriğinde Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray, Beşiktaş ve Trabzonspor geçen 9862 köşe yazısıyla çalışma yürütülmüştür. İşlemlerin tamamında Doğal Dil İşleme teknikleri ve Visual Studio ortamında C# dilinde geliştirilen yazılımdan faydalanılmıştır. 42 alt kavrama sahip 19 olumlu üst kavram ile 62 alt kavrama sahip 23 olumsuz üst kavramın köşe yazılarında kulüplerle birlikte anılma durumları, geliştirilen yazılımla belirlenmiştir. Araştırma bulgularında 4 kulüple farklı sıralamalarda olsa da en çok vurgulanan 3 olumlu kavramın “saygı, dost, adalet”; en az vurgulananlarınsa bütün kulüplerde aynı sıralamada “merhamet, şefkat, kibar” olduğu görülmüştür. Öte yandan en çok/en az vurgulanan 3 olumsuz kavramdaysa kulüpten kulübe farklılık belirlenmiştir. Fenerbahçe’yle en çok “kavga, sinir, düşman”, en az “vahşi, argo, hile”; Galatasaray’la en çok “hakaret, kavga, düşman”, en az “argo, vahşi, kışkırt”; Beşiktaş ve Trabzonspor’la en çok “haksız, kavga, sinir”; Beşiktaş’la en az “argo, vahşi, holigan”; Trabzonspor’la en az “argo, kışkırt, vahşi” olumsuz kavramları birlikte anılmıştır. Bununla birlikte, köşe yazılarında olumlu kavramlara olumsuz kavramlardan daha fazla yer verildiği tespit edilmiştir. Olumlu kavramlarla daha sık anılan kulüplerin kurumsal imajının ve saygınlığının artabileceği; olumsuz kavramlarla daha çok anılan kulüplerinse zihinlerde olumsuz yer ederek kulüp imajına uzun yıllar zarar verebileceği değerlendirilmiştir.

Petőfi Sándor és a hiteles kép

ThŠe history of Sándor Petőfi’s visual representations can be examined with the concept of the true image of Hans Belting which makes a connection between faith and picture: the existence of Christ is confirmed by portraits for Christian worshipers and pictures have their devotional function for Christian communities. ŠThere are many portraits and genre paintings made during Petőfi’s life, but thanks to his cult there were many pictures painted of him even after his death. It is known to posterity that his portrait was recorded in a daguerreotype in the 1840s, but its status in his cult is still uncertain, because it was only found in 1868 in the legacy of her wife Júlia Szendrey, meaning that his depictions right after his death were based above all on the painting tradition and the personal practice of remembrance. In the 1870’s, after the presentation of the daguerreotype to the larger public, there was a debate in the press about the true image of Petőfi, which shows a rivalry between artistic and technical portraits. In my paper, I review the changing relationship between Petőfi’s pictorial representations and the concept of the true image in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Imaging assessment of spine infection.

This article comprehensively reviews current imaging concepts in spinal infection with primary focus on infectious spondylodiscitis (IS) as well as the less common entity of facet joint septic arthritis (FSA). This review encompasses the multimodality imaging appearances (radiographs, CT, MRI, and nuclear imaging) of spinal infection-both at initial presentation and during treatment-to aid the radiologist in guiding diagnosis and successful management. We discuss the pathophysiology of spinal infection in various patient populations (including the non-instrumented and postoperative spine) as well as the role of imaging-guided biopsy. We also highlight several non-infectious entities that can mimic IS (both clinically and radiologically) that should be considered during image interpretation to avoid misdiagnosis. These potential mimics include the following: Modic type 1 degenerative changes, acute Schmorl's node, neuropathic spondyloarthropathy, radiation osteitis, and inflammatory spondyloarthropathy (SAPHO syndrome).

ОПРЕДЕЛЕНИЕ УРОВНЯ ЗАЩИЩЕННОСТИ БРЕНДА ЗАСТРОЙЩИКА

The residential real estate construction market is increasing in volume but remains the most risky industry in terms of investment due to the long lead time for product creation and realization. Brand can play an important role in reducing the risk of real estate developers. There is a relationship between the concepts of image, reputation, brand and goodwill. Hence, a real estate developer's goodwill is affected by its image and reputation. Research Objective. It is necessary to identify approaches for assessing the reputation of developers in regional residential real estate markets in order to maintain their brand and, consequently, competitiveness at the required level. Materials and Methods. By analogy with the method of solving the problem of choosing a shopping center by a client, we propose a method for assessing the level of protection of the developer's brand, which is understood as the reputation of the developer in relation to the regional market. Initial data for assessing the level of protection of the developer's brand are consumer reviews in the Internet. It should take into account the Ganning Nebula Index of reviews about the developer, the average volume of words in reviews about the developer, the number of negative reviews about the developer, the total number of reviews about the developer and the degree of competitiveness of the residential real estate market in the region. Results. As a demonstration example of using the proposed method of assessing the level of protection of the developer's brand, a conditional market represented by 9 conditional developers was modeled. For each developer conditional individual parameters were selected and on their basis the level of the developer's brand protection was calculated. A comparative analysis of parameters and the level of brand protection of real estate developers was carried out. In particular, it is shown which parameters and their combinations positively or negatively affect the level of brand protection of the developer. Conclusion. Based on the results of the given demonstration example, it can be stated that the proposed approach to determining the level of protection of the developer's brand in the Internet, at least, does not contradict common sense, and, at most, is a relevant and useful tool for an objective assessment of the developer's business reputation.

Contemporary Algebraic Attributes of the q‐Rung Orthopair Complex Fuzzy Subgroups

A more advanced form of complex fuzzy sets is q‐rung orthopair complex fuzzy (q -ROCF) sets, which offer an additional and broad visualization of the uncertainty present in the unit disk. In comparison to complex intuitionistic fuzzy sets and complex bipolar fuzzy sets, the q -ROCF set is more appropriate and versatile. Their ability to describe a broader range of unclear information makes them distinguishable because the real part of a complex‐valued membership degree and the real part of a complex‐valued nonmembership degree have a sum of qth powers that is equal to or less than one (similarly for the imaginary part of a complex‐valued). In terms of the characteristics of the q -ROCF set, we propose the concept of q -ROCF subgroups and investigate some fundamental features under the q -ROCF set. Moreover, we show that every intuitionistic complex fuzzy subgroup is a q -ROCF subgroup. Also, we use this approach to define q -ROCF level subgroups, q -ROCF cosets, and q -ROCF normal subgroups of a certain group as well as to investigate some of their algebraic characteristics. Furthermore, we develop the concept of group homomorphism, images, and preimages under the influence of the q -ROCF subgroup.

ҚАЗАҚСТАН МЕДИАКЕҢІСТІГІНДЕГІ ҚЫТАЙ ЕЛІНІҢ ҰЛТТЫҚ ИМИДЖІ: ҚЫТАЙ ЗЕРТТЕУШІЛЕРІНІҢ КӨЗІМЕН

The main purpose of writing this article is a comprehensive analysis of the research of Chinese scientists on the formation of the image of the China in the media space of Kazakhstan. The theoretical concepts of the national image of researchers from a neighboring state and its practical application were analyzed. The theoretical and practical significance of this study lies in the analyses of the work of the country's leading media aimed at shaping the national image of a neighboring country from the scientists point of view and their own interests. Over the past ten years the relations between the two countries have become the core of regional studies, especially from China, which has become interested in the problem of forming the national image of Kazakhstan in leading (traditional and online) mass media. For this reason, the author took the articles of scientists from a neighboring country as the subject of the study and analyzed them using different research methods. The value of this study lies in the fact that in the Kazakhstani media the image of China was shown as a reliable initiator of cooperation, a mutually beneficial partner. The information from Kazakh websites and from bloggers on Facebook about the country in thematic, substantive, genre terms is also systematized. Thus, the researcher was convinced of the reliability of the opinions of scientists from neighboring countries regarding the media space of Kazakhstan. At the end of the article the author concludes that for any country, the issue of national image is a responsible and important measure to solve the problem of the nation.

A Concept for Preoperative and Intraoperative Molecular Imaging and Detection for Assessing Extent of Disease of Solid Tumors.

The authors propose a concept of "systems engineering," the approach to assessing the extent of diseased tissue (EODT) in solid tumors. We modeled the proof of this concept based on our clinical experience with colorectal carcinoma (CRC) and gastrinoma that included short and long-term survival data of CRC patients. This concept, applicable to various solid tumors, combines resources from surgery, nuclear medicine, radiology, pathology, and oncology needed for preoperative and intraoperative assessments of a patient's EODT. The concept begins with a patient presenting with biopsy-proven cancer. An appropriate preferential locator (PL) is a molecule that preferentially binds to a cancer-related molecular target (i.e., tumor marker) lacking in non-malignant tissue and is the essential element. Detecting the PL after an intravenous injection requires the PL labeling with an appropriate tracer radionuclide, a fluoroprobe, or both. Preoperative imaging of the tracer's signal requires molecular imaging modalities alone or in combination with computerized tomography (CT). These include positron emission tomography (PET), PET/CT, single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), SPECT/CT for preoperative imaging, gamma cameras for intraoperative imaging, and gamma-detecting probes for precise localization. Similarly, fluorescent-labeled PLs require appropriate cameras and probes. This approach provides the surgeon with real-time information needed for R0 resection.

Surface modification effect on contrast agent efficiency for X-ray based spectral photon-counting scanner/luminescence imaging: from fundamental study to in vivo proof of concept.

X-Ray imaging techniques are among the most widely used modalities in medical imaging and their constant evolution has led to the emergence of new technologies. The new generation of computed tomography (CT) systems - spectral photonic counting CT (SPCCT) and X-ray luminescence optical imaging - are examples of such powerful techniques. With these new technologies the rising demand for new contrast agents has led to extensive research in the field of nanoparticles and the possibility to merge the modalities appears to be highly attractive. In this work, we propose the design of lanthanide-based nanocrystals as a multimodal contrast agent with the two aforementioned technologies, allowing SPCCT and optical imaging at the same time. We present a systematic study on the effect of the Tb3+ doping level and surface modification on the generation of contrast with SPCCT and the luminescence properties of GdF3:Tb3+ nanocrystals (NCs), comparing different surface grafting with organic ligands and coatings with silica to make these NCs bio-compatible. A comparison of the luminescence properties of these NCs with UV revealed that the best results were obtained for the Gd0.9Tb0.1F3 composition. This property was confirmed under X-ray excitation in microCT and with SPCCT. Moreover, we could demonstrate that the intensity of the luminescence and the excited state lifetime are strongly affected by the surface modification. Furthermore, whatever the chemical nature of the ligand, the contrast with SPCCT did not change. Finally, the successful proof of concept of multimodal imaging was performed in vivo with nude mice in the SPCCT taking advantage of the so-called color K-edge imaging method.

Playful images: Visual Holocaust memory, digital media, and the visual walkthrough method

Abstract This article presents a conceptual and methodological framework that focuses on the interactivity, creativity, and variability of Holocaust images in digital media. Our argument unfolds in three stages. First, we introduce the concept of playful images: historical images that undergo recontextualisation, serving memetic, personal, and interactive engagements in and by digital media. Secondly, drawing on pivotal scholarship in digital methods, anthropology, sociology, and visual analysis, we identify a lacuna in contemporary methodologies and provide a rationale for an innovative approach to visual memory analysis in digital media that considers both digital media affordances and the appropriation of visual and historical materials in digital media. For that purpose, we thirdly outline a visual walkthrough method (VWM), a pragmatic performance of our approach tailored for analysing interactive digital experiences featuring playful images. By examining the playful appropriation of historical images in the video game Call of Duty: WWII (2017), we demonstrate how the interactive experience of playful images can be analysed with the help of the VWM. We conclude by discussing the position of our proposed conceptual and methodological framework within media and memory studies in the digital age.

ИНДИЯ В ВОЕННОЙ ПРОПАГАНДЕ ПАКИСТАНА: ФОРМИРОВАНИЕ ОБРАЗА ВРАГА

The relations between Pakistan and India have always been hostile. The disagreements between them had a significant impact on the formation of the images of these countries. Pakistani leaders’ perception of India is an example of the enemy image concept. The constant attribution to India of hostile intentions towards Pakistan is the evidence of it. In addition, the religious factor that was basic for the creation of Pakistan, contributed to the division of Muslims and Hindus into “friends” and “foes” and, as a result, added to the opposition between Pakistanis and Indians in the main. The generals who had ruled Pakistan directly for almost 30 years contributed to the creation of the enemy image of India. General Muhammad Ayub Khan was the first to start using the idea of an “aggressive neighbor” in order to unite the Pakistanis. The journals of the Pakistan army, as well as the political autobiographies of the military leaders, indicate that the development of the enemy image of the neighboring state was gradual: the generations of Pakistani officers perceived India differently. However, the tendency to demonize India can be seen as growing within every generation. The image of the neighboring country has a direct impact on the policy of Pakistan towards that country.

Fast sampling based image reconstruction algorithm for sheared-beam imaging

Sheared-beam imaging (SBI) is an unconventional ground-based optical imaging technique. It breaks through the traditional optical imaging concept by using three coherent laser beams, which are laterally displaced at the transmit plane, to illuminate the target, reconstructing the target image from echo signals. However, the echo data sampling of the imaging system is still not fast enough to reconstruct the high resolution and clear image of the target when imaging the target that is at rapidly changing position and attitude. In order to solve this problem, in this work an image reconstruction method is proposed based on five-beam fast sampling. An emitted beam array arranged in the cross shape with a central symmetrical structure is proposed, and the encoding and decoding method of the imaging system are changed. With a single exposure, the echo signals carry more spectrum information of the target, and the number of reconstructed images can be increased from 1 to 8, which quickly suppresses the speckle effect of the reconstructed image. Firstly, the principle of the imaging technique based on fast sampling is presented. Then, an image reconstruction algorithm based on fast sampling is studied. Eight groups of phase differences and amplitude information of the target can be extracted from echo signals. The wavefront phases are solved by the least-squares method, and wavefront amplitude can be obtained by the algebraic operation of speckle amplitude. The target image is reconstructed by the inverse Fourier transform. The simulation results show that comparing with the traditional three-beam image reconstruction method, the sampling times of echo data needed to obtain the same quality image are reduced from 20 to 5 , which greatly reduces the sampling times of echo data and improves the sampling rate of echo data.

Knotting Loops in the European Avant-Garde(s) The Poetic Image in Ezra Pound’s, A. B. Šimić’s and André Breton’s Anti/Ana-Aesthetics, and its Relation to Painting

The essay offers a (re)construction of an avant-garde network consisting of imagism, expressionism, and surrealism in literature and art. It proposes a reassessment of Ezra Pound’s and André Breton’s concepts of the poetic image, and compares them to their counterpart in the writing and poetry of Croatian expressionist writer Antun Branko Šimić. Through this reconstruction of one node in the avant-garde network, the paper proposes a theory of avant-garde as a twofold structure of de-figuration and transfiguration, which performs the role of re-figuring reality. This proposal solves a principal tension in Peter Bürger’s argument expounded in "Theorie der Avantgarde".

Türkiye Örneğinde Tanrı Algısına İlişkin Çalışmaların Sistematik Bir İncelemesi

The objective of this article is to conduct a systematic review of empirical research focused on the concept of God image within the context of Türkiye. The multidimensional nature of the God image is explored, and its associations with various variables, encompassing sociodemographic and psychological aspects, are thoroughly examined. The review also considers the correlation between God image and psychopathology, as well as spiritual care. The findings from this review, specific to the Turkish sample, suggest that the God image doesn't consistently vary with age, but a positive relationship is evident, indicating a tendency for a more positive God image with age. Women tend to have a more love-oriented God image than men. However, no significant distinctions were found in terms of income and educational levels. Moreover, variations of God image may be influenced by the type of school (religious or secular) and parental attitudes. Studies suggest that individuals raised in environments characterized by oppressive, authoritarian, or neglectful parenting are prone to form fear-oriented God images, while those with democratic parenting tend toward love-oriented God images. Subjective religiosity and positive religious coping are also proposed to have a positive correlation with the perception of God. Alongside sociodemographic variables, it is argued that a more positive and love-oriented God image is positively associated with enhanced psychological health, greater well-being, effective coping, positive self-esteem, lower depression, and fewer psychopathological symptoms. Despite the insights from the review of 55 studies, the diversity of examined variables necessitates more extensive research to draw general conclusions for each variable within the Turkish sample. Finally, fields requiring further investigation were also identified.

A Literature Review of the Image Schema Theory and Concepts of Construction

Cognitive Linguistics holds a view that linguistics forms are usage-based and motivation-based, especially on humans’ embodied conceptualizations. The image schema theory, as a new attempt to make language learning both interesting and effectively, plays a key role in Cognitive Linguistics and Neurology, featuring strong generality and explanatory power. Thus, this paper aims to examine a review of the existing literature on image schema. Besides, applying schematic constructions in teaching has sparked heated discussion among the scholars in the field of Cognitive Linguistics. For example, how to make constructions on idioms and phrasal verbs has also been greatly discussed in L2 acquisition. However, there has been a scarcity of research on the teaching of schematic constructions. To achieve this, this paper also aims to provide some suggestions for teaching practice.

IMPACT OF THE PROFESSIONAL IMAGE OF THE LEADER ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION

This article provides a comprehensive review and analysis of scientific research on the role of the leader’s image in shaping the image of an educational institution and its positioning in society. The article aims to analyse the functions of the head of an educational institution and study the influence of their image on the development of the school, underlining the components of the school director’s image that influence its effectiveness in the educational labour market. It highlights the increasing competition faced by modern educational institutions, necessitating active demonstration of their effectiveness and rationalization of their existence. The quality of education and the achievements of graduates emerge as decisive factors in attracting the attention of parents and students. Educational institutions must adapt to pedagogical trends, integrate advanced technologies, and implement an individualized approach to learning. The interaction with the community and the formation of a positive school image are crucial. The director’s role is pivotal, with their leadership qualities and strategic planning influencing the perception of the school and shaping a positive impression of the entire institution. The article analyses the concept of “image” based on the studies of economist K. Boulding, who considered it a key to understanding society. It emphasizes that image is grounded in belief, unlike objective knowledge, and shapes behaviour based on the perception of the world. Theoretical frameworks proposed by S. Williams and M. Moffit introduce the concept of imaging as a two-way process involving the creation and consumption of an image, encompassing all communicative processes and their influences. Image consumption is categorized into levels of perception, comprehension, and evaluation, impacting the formation of perceptions and attitudes toward the image bearer. The article views image as a success factor in professional activities and competitiveness in the educational services market. It underscores the importance of image in the global information space and the need to specify the concept of “professional image” in the conditions of an information society. The article focuses on the significance of the organization’s image in the contemporary market environment and its influence on stability and longevity. It explores aspects of managerial image, professional image, and leader image. The structural components of the leader’s image include personal characteristics, social characteristics, and symbolic significance. A new direction, pedagogical imageology, aimed at forming the image of educators and educational institutions, is discussed. Universal functions of image encompass communicative, informational, cognitive, emotional, and other aspects, which are defining aspects of the impact of image on professional development and contributing to positive societal perception. The study analyses the Professional Standard “Head (Director) of General Secondary Education Institution”, outlining a list of job functions and professional competencies. The identified structural components of the school director’s professional image include expertise, leadership qualities, communication skills, ethics and integrity, innovativeness and strategic thinking, community interaction, and reputation. It has been concluded that to achieve stability and strategic development of the educational institution, the director must be not only an effective leader, but also a bearer of a positive image for the entire school community, education management, and the public.
