Improved On-Demand Travel Route Planning Model with Interest Fields.

Intelligent tourism route planning is an important element of smart tourism, and the current tourism route planning has problems such as strong subjectivity and low personalization considering tourists' interests. To solve the problems of current tourism route planning, an improved interest field travel route planning model is proposed. Firstly, an intelligent interest field extraction model is established. Secondly, an improved greedy algorithm is designed to reduce the risk of missing the optimal solution, strengthen the local search capability, and improve the solution accuracy of the algorithm. The extracted routes of interest sites are planned, and a motivated iterative value output model is established. The experimental results demonstrate that the selected routes are shorter and less expensive than the traditional model. By iterating the actual data to obtain the iterative values of different tourist route motivations and the sequential guide map of attractions based on tourist interests, the optimal and suboptimal routes that satisfy the tourist motivation interests are analyzed. This model has strong feasibility and practical significance for smart tourism route planning.

How Proactive Building of Personal Brand Equity Helps Employees’ Marketability?

Building a personal brand is a key concern of many celebrities. However, despite a growing need for self-promotion in the context of invisible work, little attention to this phenomenon is given for regular employees. In this paper, we argue that in the context of invisible work all knowledge employees need to invest in developing their personal brand to be internally and externally marketable. Specifically, we focus on the recently proposed concept of personal brand equity (PBE) and test its effects on employees perceived (internal and external) marketability. Following assertions of the signalling theory, we propose that career planning will lead to stronger PBE especially for employees with a proactive personality, and that PBE will have positive effects on employees perceived internal and external marketability. We test our model in two studies: an online experiment with 585 students from a Dutch public university (Study 1) and a time-lagged survey study with 278 Chinese employees (Study 2). Our findings suggest that PBE mediates the relationship between career planning and perceived marketability, particularly for individuals with a strong proactive personality. We discuss these findings in light of future research and practice.

Social Change Reflected in the Dignity of Language

Personality Difference and Strong-Strong Coalition—Experimental Research Based on Punishment Mechanism

Research on social value orientation divides rational people into three categories: individualist, pro-social, and competitor. This kind of research does not focus on network structure. Network exchange theory emphasizes that power comes from an exclusive structure, but it ignores the personality characteristics of people. This paper combines these two studies to explore how punishment mechanisms affect individual coalition strategies in an exclusive structure. The experimental results prove that: (1) when the strong is not in the coalition, there is no significant difference in the benefits of the strong power individualist person and the strong power pro-social person; (2) when two people with different social value orientations are strong-strong coalition, the two will form a “betrayal chain” whose benefit is close to the equilibrium value of the “compromise chain”. The strong power individualists are more likely to “betray” and “take advantage” more than the strong power pro-socialists; (3) the intensity of punishment is inversely related to the frequency of “betrayer”. Analysis of the dialogue data revealed that (4) the strong will properly take care of the weak, and the weak will “approach” the strong; (5) heavy punishment will have a deterrent effect, allowing the actors, especially pro-social to internalize the “punishment mechanism”. This study incorporates both personality and structure into the model, and such studies can explain many power phenomena.

Margarita N. Kozhina’s Way in Language Studies

This article presents a scholarly biography of Margarita Kozhina (1925–2012), the founder of the well-known Perm School of Stylistics and professor at Perm State University. She developed the theory of functional stylistics, which revealed and described the regularities of stylistic differentiation in literary Russian. In the early 1960s, Kozhina was one of the first researchers in Russian linguistics to study issues of language functioning and form a new scholarly direction, namely speech studies. Based on an interdisciplinary approach, she defined the main categories of functional stylistics. The latter was regarded as the most important component of speech studies. Kozhina’s papers organically entered the episteme of the second half of the twentieth and early twentyfirst centuries. They marked the turn of linguistics from the system-structural paradigm of studying language to the functional one. Kozhina developed the stylistic-statistical method of speech analysis. A statistical survey of the linguistic side of functional styles allowed her to make conclusions about the interaction of linguistic and extra-linguistic factors in speech. Kozhina authored more than 200 scholarly publications, including 8 monographs and the first Russian textbook on Russian-language stylistics. She was a member of the International Committee of Slavists and the editorial boards of several scholarly journals, including Stylistyka (Poland) and Styl (Serbia). The article describes Kozhina both as a prominent theorist and a remarkable organiser of scholarship. She initiated 20 collections of academic works on stylistics, some international conferences, a three-volume collective monograph on the history of Russian scholarly style from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries, and the first Stylistic Encyclopaedic Dictionary of the Russian Language (a compendium of knowledge on functional stylistics). The author describes Margarita Kozhina as a talented researcher and an unusually strong personality, who managed, having overcome dramatic circumstances, to make an important contribution to European studies of language.

Patient coaching: What do patients want? A mixed methods study in waiting rooms of outpatient clinics.

Effective communication in specialist consultations is difficult for some patients. These patients could benefit from support from a coach who accompanies them to and during medical specialist consultations to improve communication in the consultation room. This study aims to investigate patients' perspective on interest in support from a patient coach, what kind of support they would like to receive and what characterizes an ideal patient coach. We applied a mixed method design to obtain a realistic understanding of patients' perspectives on a patient coach. Patients in the waiting rooms of outpatient clinics were asked to fill out a short questionnaire which included questions about demographic characteristics, perceived efficacy in patient-provider interaction and patients' interest in support from a patient coach. Subsequently, patients interested in a patient coach were asked to participate in a semi-structured interview. The quantitative data were examined using univariate analysis and the qualitative interview data were analysed using content analysis. The survey was completed by 154 patients and eight of them were interviewed. Perceived efficacy in patient-physician interactions was the only variable that showed a significant difference between patients with and without an interest in support from a patient coach. The interviews revealed that a bad communication experience was the main reason for having an interest in support from a patient coach. Before the consultation, a patient coach should take the time to get to know the patient, build trust, and help the patient create an agenda, so take the patient seriously and recognize the patient as a whole person. During the consultation, a patient coach should support the patient by intervening and mediating when necessary to elicit the patient's agenda. After the consultation, a patient coach should be able to explain and discuss medical information and treatment consequences. An ideal patient coach should have medical knowledge, a strong personality and good communication skills. Especially patients who had a bad communication experience in a specialist consultation would like support from a patient coach. The kind of support they valued most was intervening and mediating during the consultation. To build the necessary trust, patient coaches should take time to get to know the patient and take the patient seriously. Medical knowledge, good communication skills and a strong personality were considered prerequisites for patient coaches to be capable to intervene in specialist consultations.

Izglītības vērtības autoritārisma periodā Latvijā

Although in Latvia’s historical memory the period of authoritarianism is often associated with “good times”, it undoubtedly shows the features of an authoritarian dictatorship that affected all spheres of life, including education. In education the idea of national unity and love of the homeland is emphasized, which is closely linked to the concept of authority. The concept of authority is highlighted not only in the political context; also the importance of teacher’s authority in the teaching process is emphasized. The teacher must have a strong personality and must be an example to the students. The role of agriculture is further strengthened, linking it with the love of the Fatherland. In the society, the role of the collective is valued high and opposed to individualism.

Manoeuvering through the Dilemma of Marketing Positioning In the Frozen Food Business

The thrust of her family is well protected. To secure frozen food production is not a playful business. She gambled on her well-being and left her wealth to start a new small business without her knowing how to execute the food processors and machinery. She baked dough and cooked the fillings with her full-hearted energy. She successfully produced her first ever bake after a year of trial. No shortcut towards success in life, she believed. She needs a living, therefore she oughta challenge. The challenge that she encountered will make her stronger surely and eventually.Many entrepreneurs start their businesses in ‘rough situations. Some have abandoned families who don’t fit with any part of their business. In contrast, Mrs. Ruzi was practically smothered by parental involvement, support, and caring. She has lost her husband to illness, live in poverty, and was exposed to hunger and destitution. Her children live in all kinds of conditions and are sometimes ‘set up for failure’ from the very start.

Men’s Health Across the Lifespan: Post Traumatic Growth and Gender Role in Male Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse

Background: Due to societal stereotypes around masculinity (i.e. men should be strong and able to physically resist an offender), male survivors of child sexual abuse (CSA) frequently experience sexuality and gender role crises, as they tend to blame themselves for not protecting themselves. The negative effects on male and female survivors of sexual abuse are well documented. There is some evidence to suggest that female survivors may experience post traumatic growth (PTG) although less is known regarding male survivors and PTG. Aims: To explore the PTG processes involved in the development of positive gender roles and sexuality in male survivors of CSA. Method: Recruitment through national male survivor support organisations and social media resulted in a sample of 12 participants from the UK, EU and USA. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted, transcribed and analysed using social constructionist thematic analysis. Results: The parallel processes of “struggling and changing” and “developing and growing” were evident in the PTG journeys of participants. Eight subthemes were developed relating to gender role redevelopment to illustrate the experienced positive change: “Turning point,” “Redefining masculinity and sexuality,” “Reconnecting,” “Determination,” “Appreciation of life,” “Living by masculine values,” “Attunement” and “Stronger person” in the context of a central “environmental” theme. Conclusions: This study has provided much-needed empirical support for the development of positive gender role and sexuality following CSA and has enabled conceptualisation of PTG in male survivors.

The Uniqueness of Gabrielė Petkevičaitė-Bitė’s World of Short Prose: A Search for a Meaningful Existence

Gabrielė Petkevičaitė-Bitė’s work is colourful and diverse in terms of content and genre. She strove to reveal the most prominent conflicts of the public life of the late nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries, the problems of the individual’s spiritual development and the discovery of one’s own identity, the reflections of the life of the intelligentsia and the rural people, the search for a meaningful life by different representatives of the ethnic community and to bring up the question of the individual’s self-esteem. To this end, the writer created distinctive examples of the genre of small prose, such as short stories, essays, sketches, reflections, and reminiscences, which enriched the world of Lithuanian prose. Petkevičaitė-Bitė’s creative space was strongly affected by the epoch of national revival. The author wrote a number of vivid traditional realistic short stories, which reflected the actual reality and in many cases were strongly autobiographical. In her prose, the writer often depicts a young person is striving for new ideals of the national community: a different model of life characteristic of the secular intelligentsia, responsible activity for the sake of the nation, and ideas of nation building. The hero of her short prose is a person capable of creating a sincere and spiritual relationship between the members of society that is based on mutual assistance and understanding. For Petkevičaitė-Bitė, a young person is perhaps most closely associated with a romantic hero’s burning love for the world, the pursuit of ideals, impetuous feelings, passionate and courageous quests, ethical maximalism, uncompromising nature, refusal to put up with the ills of life, and individual truth, i.e., the qualities that are most typical of young people. It is not careerism or the search for a more diverse existence, but the pursuit of a more enriching form of life, a meaningful foundation for it, and a quest for spiritual discovery that motivates these young seekers, dreamers, and altruists to open themselves wholeheartedly to life. This existential stance of the characters arises from the actual efforts of the intelligentsia to change the established moral, social, and cultural order of the nineteenth century and to oppose the constraining stereotypes of previous years. Petkevičaitė-Bitė’s works mostly reflect the process of the national revival movement and the colourful portraits of strong personalities whom she had met and remembered: book smugglers, rebels, and spiritually rich villagers, who made every effort to enlighten their children and pave the way for their education. She perceives and treats an individual’s meaningful activity, which is focused on helping others, as the pivotal factor of the nation’s spiritual rebirth that guaranteed its survival and the sustainability of its life. In her prose, the writer seeks to reveal both the dark and the light side of human nature, to show its beauty, power, and strength. Unconditional sacrifice for the sake of the other – book smuggling, secret teaching of children from forbidden books, care of orphans and the needy – were the fundamental existential imperatives and the foundation of the life and activities of Gabrielė Petkevičaitė-Bitė, who was an aristocrat of the spirit herself.

Figura czarownicy jako symboliczna „zadra” w patriarchalnym świecie. Konteksty antropologiczno-edukacyjne

The aim of the article is to present the image of a woman – marked with the figure of a witch – oriented at changing stereotypical thinking about her. A look from a perspective not contaminated by the common view of the world will indicate its subjectivity, self-realization, and the right to self-determination, which is the basic pedagogical category. The figure of the witch is ambiguous – it reflects the rebelliousness that gives strength to deal with the pressures of society not to succumb to ways of controlling women that have undermined patriarchal standards. At that time she was called a demonic, wicked, magical woman, but on the other hand, a divine, innocent victim, a real healer. For they were „wise herbalists, soothsayers and sexually enlightened beings who had not been crippled by Christian piety and prohibitions” (K.J. Sollée, 2021, p. 89). Thus, they have become an icon of an independent woman, subordinate only to herself, with a strong personality desired in today’s world.

Advanced Design and Fabrication of Islamic Tile Ceramic Wall Tiles With Indonesian Batik Patterns Using Artistic CAD/CAM and 3D Printing Technology

The ceramic tile wall is a decorative element used inside restaurants, museums, hotels, aristocratic residences, and places of worship. It plays a critical role in the development of a structure with strong personality and unique qualities by providing relief patterns specific to history or era. The demand for distinctive ornamental wall ceramics that can be mass produced with precision and accuracy has been a challenge for numerous ceramic enterprises in Indonesia, which have historically relied on the skills of artistic professionals in a handmaking process. The purpose of this research was therefore to develop and apply a ceramic tile design process that integrates computer design and fabrication methods with traditional ceramic production techniques. Using the ArtCAM 2015R2 software, photos of batik and Islamic themes were effectively converted into a 2.5D computer-aided design model. Additive manufacturing technology was then used in conjunction with Objet30 Pro 3D printer to precisely produce master molds with Islamic nuances such as puzzle and floral patterns, then conventional ceramic fabrication technology was employed to produce ceramic tiles using these molds. By combining computer-aided design and rapid prototyping technologies, a variety of exact and detailed Islamic decorative ceramic wall tiles were produced with dimensional accuracies within 2.00 mm. Furthermore, the proposed approach demonstrated a 90% reduction in design-to-production time from to 10–12 months to roughly 1–1.5 months.
