Peer Support Provided by People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities: A Rapid Scoping Review to Develop a Toolkit for Inclusive Research

Inclusive research teams actively engage people with intellectual and developmental disabilities at all stages of research development, implementation, and dissemination. There is a dearth of research that specifically addresses the use of peer support in research engagement, yet research using peer support may provide a useful framework for engagement in inclusive research teams. A rapid scoping review was completed following the reporting guidelines for PRISMA-SCR. The scoping review identified five peer support roles (communication, sharing experiences, helping peers to learn, peer development, and creating a welcoming environment) and two types of support and accommodation for peer supporters (individual and environmental). The findings of the rapid scoping review aided in developing key sections of a Peer Support Toolkit to help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities engage in research to create more inclusive research teams and research that is informed directly by the needs of people with lived experience. The scoping review and toolkit were completed by an inclusive team.

This research examines the influence of discipline on service quality among employees of the Aryaduta Manado Hotel. This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. A descriptive approach is used to explain the research theme. Data was obtained through interviews and observations of the Bar Hotel Aryaduta Manado employees. The research results show that discipline influences the quality of employee service. The hotel industry must pay primary attention to work discipline, contributing to employee performance.

Substitution between sharing accommodation and hotels: A behavioral economic demand curve analysis

Researchers have confirmed the substitution of sharing accommodation for hotels. The existing assessments of the substitution have primarily focused on the inverse relationship between sharing accommodation supply and hotel performance, with a lack of examination based on demand curve analysis. This study utilizes behavioral economic demand models to construct alone-price/own-price demand curves for hotels and cross-price demand curves for sharing accommodation to quantify the substitutive relationship between sharing accommodation and different hotel types. Furthermore, we explore the variations in this substitutive relationship by travel companion and customer group. The analysis is dual-directional, including both the substitutability of sharing accommodation for hotels and the reverse relationship. The findings inform market competition strategies for hotels and sharing accommodation.

Demographic Segmentation in the Travel Market: A CHAID Analysis of Traveler Profiles and Trip Attributes Among Indian Prospective Visitors

Demographics are central to market segmentation, as underscored in consumer behavior research. This study examines the associations between demographic factors and traveler preferences of trip attributes using 919 online surveys of prospective Indian travelers sampled conveniently but purposefully using specific filtering questions at the beginning of the questionnaire. Utilizing CHAID analysis, the study evaluates the correspondence between age, gender, marital status, income, and educational attainment with trip attributes such as outbound vs. domestic travel, accommodation type, transportation mode, travel companions, and trip duration. Distinctly, choices of travel companions correlate with education, age, marital status, and gender. Trip type, duration, accommodation, and transport have ties to specific combinations of income, education, and age. The study emphasizes the potential for leveraging these insights for precise demographic- based market segmentation in the travel sector.

Analysis of Indonesian Domestic Tourist Quality

Domestic tourism is being the main focus of the government strategy to revitalize the tourism sector. It is then crucial to consider elements that can raise the quality of tourism, in terms of domestic tourists and increase the added value rather than merely number of trips. The analysis of quality is important in tourism to support the idea of sustainable tourism, which is promoted in the 8th agenda of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Quality analysis must be done in micro modelling that takes into account tourist characteristics and particular travel-related features because this sector depends on tourism demand and tourist expenditure in tourist locations. Thus, the goal of this study is to give a general overview of the qualities and characteristics of domestic tourists and to examine how these attributes affect their quality. The results of descriptive analysis method indicate that Indonesian domestic visitors’ quality remains poor. Age, genders, education level, employment status, transportation mode, accommodation type and travel companion affect the quality of domestic tourists.

The profile of adolescent patients presenting to a tertiary maternal mental health clinic.

Between March 2021 and April 2022, there were 90 037 documented adolescent pregnancies in South Africa. Statistics SA reports that this number is growing. Pregnancy places adolescents at greater risk of psychiatry-related morbidity and may have far-reaching consequences for their children. To date, there is no published data describing the patient profile of adolescent pregnancies in Gauteng Province, South Africa. To describe the patient profile (demographics, schooling history and type of accommodation), pregnancy-related factors, substance use habits and contraceptive use in pregnant adolescents seen at a tertiary care maternal mental health clinic (MMHC). The MMHC at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital, Soweto, Johannesburg, South Africa. A retrospective file review of all pregnant adolescents referred to the MMHC between January and June 2022. The mean age of the patients was 15.2 years; 72% attended school and 97.4% planned to return. Most pregnancies were unplanned (97.9%), wanted (84%) and presented in the second (41.24%) and third (51.55%) trimesters. Most did not report using substances (76.7%). Fifty percent of the participants met the criteria for a major depressive disorder. Repeating a grade was an identifiable risk factor for an increased Edinburgh depression score. An unplanned pregnancy was associated with a higher risk factor assessment. Pregnant adolescents represent a vulnerable population group. A greater understanding of this patient profile may inform early psychiatric and psychosocial interventions, improved service delivery and help-seeking behaviour. This study gives significant insights into the challenges faced, as well as the health and social needs of pregnant adolescents. This contributes to wholistic care and opportunities for early intervention, including awareness of contraceptive use and the risks of substance use and adolescent pregnancy on mental health, benefiting all South African adolescents.

Lexical Innovation in Ecotourism Discourse: The Case of Eco(-)lodge

As repositories of the cultures whose language they describe, lexicographical resources partake in the (re)production of dominant ideologies. This is especially relevant with regard to the current ecological crisis. With this in mind, the present article contributes to research within the field of ecolexicography. Combining critical lexicography with ecolinguistics, it acknowledges the role of lexicographical resources in shaping the users’ awareness of environmental protection. In particular, this study investigates lexical innovation within ecotourism discourse in order to understand whether “ecotourism talk” can respond to its sustainable objectives. The research focusses on one specific instance, the noun eco(-)lodge, which is examined by searching both native speakers’ and learners’ dictionaries and specialised and general English corpora. Results highlight a partial clash between the two types of sources. While examples of usage mostly connote ecolodges as a type of luxury and exclusive accommodation placed in natural—i.e., non-urban—contexts, dictionaries define them solely with reference to their supposed minimal environmental impact. Outcomes suggest a semantic bleaching of the combining form eco- in ecotourism discourse, which is exploited in lexical creations to advertise a form of niche tourism that does not always align with ecological concerns.

An investigation into the critical ingredients of intensive support teams for adults with intellectual disabilities who display challenging behaviour

Aims and method NHS England recommends the commissioning of intensive support teams (ISTs) to provide effective support to people with intellectual disability (ID) when in crisis. However, there is a paucity of evidence regarding how these services should be organised. This exploratory secondary analysis of data from the IST-ID study aimed to investigate IST characteristics that relate to clinical outcomes. The primary outcome was mean change in the total score on the Aberrant Behavior Checklist and its subscales. Results A measure of mental illness severity was the only variable associated with our primary outcome of reduction in challenging behaviour. Accommodation type, affective status and gender were associated with the subdomains of irritability, hyperactivity and lethargy in unadjusted and adjusted analyses. Clinical implications Our findings indicate that variation in clinical outcomes is influenced by individual rather than organisational factors. Further research on the theoretical fidelity of the IST-ID model is needed.

Impact of Airbnb on the hotel industry in Japan

The main aim of this paper is to find out whether the occupancy rate of the hotels would increase or decrease with the number of listings in Airbnb in Japan. It employs a panel data gathered from annual Airbnb's listings and hotel occupancy rates, covering all 47 prefectures in Japan and 5 accommodation types for 7 years. The findings indicate that the number of Airbnb listings did not have a statistically significant impact on the overall hotel occupancy rates. Based on the type of accommodations, both Ryokan and Common Lodging House show significant results and are positively influenced by Airbnb listings. The study concludes that Airbnb does not disrupt the hotel industry and suggests easing some of the current restrictions on accommodation sharing in Japan.

Implementation of sharia in the management of the Ibrahim Sharia Hotel and the Prayer Sharia Hotel in Semarang

In halal tourism there is an element of hospitality. How can hospitality in Central Java grow according to sharia, of course in hotels there must be facilities for places of worship. By realizing this, tourists who are looking for halal tourism in Central Java can feel comfortable traveling. The purpose of research on the application of sharia, the differences and similarities in the application of sharia in management. As for the purpose of knowing sharia in management, the differences and similarities in its application. This research uses a qualitative approach. Researchers observed the research location as a whole according to the problem and also interviewed the hotel. The population in this study is the management, all employees and visitors. The method used in this study is an analysis based on general data and then specific conclusions are drawn (deductive method) and the method used to compare the data drawn into new conclusions (comparative method). If the population is <100 people it is better to take all of them, if the population is >100 people then the sample taken is between 10-15% or 20-25%. Therefore, the samples in this study were owners, employees and visitors between 10-15 people as informants. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the hotel is a type of accommodation that uses part or all of the building area to provide lodging, eating, drinking, and other services for the public that are managed commercially.

Lack of influence of social media on vaccine decision-making by university students in Ireland

ABSTRACT Vaccine hesitancy is a complex, context-specific issue that negatively impacts vaccine uptake. During the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccine mis- and dis-information on social media negatively impacted on COVID-19 vaccine acceptance. University students’ beliefs and behaviors surrounding vaccine decision-making is less studied, but this population is important in disease transmission, vaccine uptake and effectiveness. Here, we surveyed students in a third-level Irish university, in September 2022, when pandemic restrictions had been removed, to primarily determine if their use of, and influence by, mainstream and social media correlated with their willingness to receive a COVID-19 vaccine or any vaccine. We analyzed 151 responses and found no significant correlation between students’ willingness to receive either a COVID-19 vaccine or any vaccine and their use of social media. There were significant links between vaccine acceptance and a range of factors, namely accommodation type, social media behaviors, perceived exposure to vaccine mis- or dis-information and previous vaccine uptake. This study provides a preliminary insight into drivers of university student COVID-19 and general vaccine willingness. It provides initial data, in the context of post-pandemic restrictions, to support further development of interventions to enhance vaccine uptake in third-level students in Ireland.

생활숙박시설의 법적 쟁점에 관한 헌법적 연구

In Korea, a house is meaningful as a basic place in people's lives. People put all their effort into purchasing housing that is equivalent to food, clothing, and shelter. For that reason, in our country, the price of real estate, especially housing, fluctuates depending on people's needs over time. Korea has achieved economic development through industrialization, but with the urban concentration phenomenon and the rapid increase in urban housing demand, housing supply and demand has become an important national task.
 Economic development brought about changes in residential culture, giving rise to various housing types, with the emergence of single-family homes, townhouses, and apartment-type apartment complexes. However, as it could not cope with the overwhelming demand, officetel, a combination of an office and a hotel, which was popular abroad, was introduced. This officetel was also resolved after the Oran controversy by separating officetels for office use and residential use. Similar to this issue, controversy arose over residential lodging facilities, which are residential-type lodging facilities.
 Accommodation facilities are for people to stay for a short period of time, and there are various types. Among them, there are condos where you can stay for a while and cook, but most of them are short-term lodging facilities. Then, the form of residential accommodation emerged as a way to solve the problem of surplus accommodation and insufficient housing in cities. Living accommodation facilities, which began in the early 21st century, were initially used for long-term stays like officetels, with cooking facilities installed, and used for residential purposes.
 Living accommodation facilities are lodging facilities, but as people live there for a long period of time, they are used like houses, and their number gradually increases. However, because there was no legal basis, it spread indiscriminately, and from the public's perspective, it came to be perceived as purchasing housing at a low price. It was only in 2012 that living accommodation facilities gained their basis in the Enforcement Decree of the Public Sanitation Management Act. However, living accommodations were only a type of accommodation and not housing.
 Since the legal basis for living accommodation facilities is that only one type of accommodation facility is specified in the Enforcement Decree of the Public Health Management Act, there are no regulations regarding this, so in reality, they are continuously built and sold. Meanwhile, in 2020, the legal status of residential lodging facilities, a type of lodging facility, became an issue, and issues began to be raised about the fact that these facilities were being used for residential purposes rather than lodging facilities. As a result, it became a problem as it was regulated through a two-year transition provision.
 Living accommodation facilities are equivalent to housing for citizens who live there. This will not be resolved by postponing administrative dispositions for two years and an additional year without fundamentally resolving the issue. Rather than allowing people who purchased it for residential purposes to change its use to officetel, which is impossible, we need to find appropriate standards that fit the reality, guarantee property rights, and protect trust. Therefore, we need to actively work to guarantee the basic rights of people who are users of living accommodation facilities. There must be action.

Investigating the controls on architecture and facies distribution of a carbonate ramp to shelf system: Insights from stratigraphic forward modeling of the Jurassic Smackover Formation, Gulf of Mexico

To develop a better understanding of the controls on the stratigraphic architecture of carbonate systems, it is necessary to quantify the impact of the physical and chemical variables responsible. The growth, distribution, and nature of carbonate factories are dependent on various space and time-dependent variables, such as paleotopography, accommodation, sediment supply, energy and slope of the system, and water chemistry.The Upper Jurassic Smackover Formation is a heterogeneous hydrocarbon source rock and reservoir in the semi-restricted Conecuh Embayment of southwestern Alabama. It consists of a lower transgressive unit composed of microbialite and mudstone/wackestone, and an upper regressive mixed carbonate-siliciclastic unit composed of oolitic packstone-grainstone, microbialite, bioturbated to laminated carbonate mudstone, and shale. The physiographic setting of the Conecuh Embayment, along with the variability in the carbonate factory types, eustatic sea level fluctuations, and sea-water circulation presents an exceptional site for evaluating the controls on carbonate platform/shelf margin to slope architecture.Stratigraphic forward modeling using DionisosFlow, calibrated with a geologic cross-section built from well log and core data, was carried out to test the impact of antecedent topography, accommodation, and carbonate factory type on the facies distribution and architecture of the carbonate shelf. Results of our study indicate that geometries in the transgressive Smackover shelf are controlled by accommodation and rate of carbonate production, while limited accommodation controlled the stratigraphic architecture of the regressive system.

UPDATE OF REGULATORY DOCUMENTATION FOR RENTAL HOUSING DESIGN

The article considers proposals for making specific changes to regulatory documents that are necessary at the current stage.
 The rental housing market for temporary residence is a way to solve the problem of providing citizens with housing. Moreover, at this stage, this problem is actualized in connection with the war, destruction and displacement of a large number of citizens. Analysis of the current regulatory framework has shown that there is currently a discrepancy between regulatory requirements and restrictions to the real needs of life. The following regulatory restrictions in the design and operation of rental housing are considered: time of insolation of residential premises; level of building density; the possibility of integrating public infrastructure and creating multifunctional complexes.
 Currently, the Law of Ukraine "On Rental Housing" has been adopted in the first reading. In general, this Law has not yet been adopted. According to the draft Law, rental housing can be located both in separate buildings and in multi-functional complexes. But it is also necessary to bring to public discussion the norm, which is laid down in this draft of the Law "On Rental Housing", that residential premises or rental apartments cannot be purchased by residents as their own property. Although, for the development of this type of housing, it would be reasonable to provide the tenant with the opportunity to buy the housing over time, that is, to allow the processes of operational leasing with these apartments - renting housing with purchase. It was this opportunity that could become the impetus for highlighting regulatory requirements for expanding the typological range of housing for temporary residence.
 The existing regulatory framework of Ukraine does not define "Rental housing" as a separate typological unit.
 At the same time, the functional purpose of housing for temporary residence includes such premises as residential apartments, apart-hotels, hotel apartments and others - public buildings.
 The class of residential buildings, according to the norms, includes only such type of individual accommodation as dormitories, with the definition of separate regulatory restrictions and requirements for this type.
 So, the task at the moment is to include in the regulatory framework of Ukraine exactly this type of buildings, such as rental residential buildings.

Housing Satisfaction Among International Students in Hong Kong

Housing is one of the critical components that support human existence. However, unequal access to housing is one of the challenges faced by international students. In an expensive city, such as Hong Kong, this issue is exacerbated by high rental cost and a limited supply of on-campus hostel facilities. Therefore, this study examines housing satisfaction among international students who are studying at Hong Kong’s universities, located in one of the most expensive cities in the world. Using the snowball sampling technique, data was collected from seventy-four international students of six nationalities studying at four universities in Hong Kong. Frequency distribution, mean score (MS) ranking and Chi-Square were adopted for the data analysis. The results show that 64% of the research participants reside off-campus and while the rest reside on-campus. Furthermore, a majority of the respondents strongly agreed that the support from the universities for international students in terms of scholarships and financial support to access housing first-year students is very important. The international students opined that the universities could provide more financial assistance and accommodation support to meet rising housing costs. The Chi-square test results indicate a significant relationship between the type of accommodation and overall satisfaction with accommodation, and a significant relationship between the age of the respondents and their choice to retain their accommodation. This study has some far-reaching implications for Hong Kong universities as they need to revisit the issue of accommodation and support provided to international students. Furthermore, there needs to be a consideration in increasing the student housing stock to assist international students.

Sequentially modeling household accommodation, destination, and departure time choices

During evacuations, households make a number of important, related choices including accommodation type, destination, and departure time. They may make trade-offs among these choices where one decision affects the others. The analysis models the linkages among these three aforementioned choices using data from a household behavioral intention survey conducted in 2017 in the Hampton Roads, VA area. Statistical tests and a theoretical basis show that the approach that best fits the dataset was to estimate the three choices in a sequence, where the first decision serves as an independent variable in the next choice process. To model the sequence, we began by modeling accommodation choice using a multinomial logit (MNL) model. Next, the accommodation choice decisions were used with other control variables to estimate destination choice in a second MNL model. Last, evacuation distance (related to destination decisions) was used in a Cox proportional-hazards model to estimate departure time choices. The models that provide the best estimates included the following control variables that help explain the sequence of decisions residents in the Hampton Roads area expect to make: (1) a variable expressing residential stability helps explain accommodation choice; (2) prior evacuation experience, the geographic location of a household, and the duration of living in the area help predict the destination choice; and (3) distance to the chosen destination helps predict departure time. Findings from this study provide evidence that the decisions associated with these three choices influence each other and help emergency managers identify additional actions that potentially can improve the evacuation experiences of local residents.

Key drivers for the adoption of circular economy practices in the tourist accommodation sector

PurposeThis article assesses the degree of adoption of the circular economy model in the tourist accommodation sector. Additionally, the study aims to understand whether the type of accommodation, size and year of construction or remodelling have an impact on the adoption of circular economy practices.Design/methodology/approachThe study is based on a survey administered to directors and owners of tourist accommodation facilities in Portugal. The questionnaire was developed based on an extensive literature review of circular economy practices in the accommodation sector.FindingsAccommodation companies currently operate in a linear economy model and are still in the early stages of transitioning to a more circular economic model. Among the most commonly implemented practices are those that represent expenditure savings for accommodation companies. The findings also suggest a growing awareness and commitment to sustainability and circular economy practices in the tourist accommodation sector, particularly in more recently constructed or renovated accommodation.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, this study is the first to evaluate the accommodation characteristics that impact the adoption of sustainability and circular economy practices in the tourist accommodation sector. It contributes to the literature by providing primary quantitative data supporting the adoption of such practices.

Homestay Digital Marketing in Tourism Villages in South Sulawesi (Case Study in 3 Featured Tourism Village)

One type of accommodation that is widely found in tourist villages is homestay. Homestay is an accommodation that offers the experience of living together with locals in their homes. Homestay is a popular form of accommodation in tourist villages because it provides a different experience from other accommodations, as well as providing opportunities for tourists to interact with locals. Although homestays are in great demand by tourists, there are still some challenges in marketing them in tourist villages. One of the challenges faced by homestay marketers in tourist villages is the lack of knowledge on how to market effective homestays. In addition, homestays in tourist villages are also faced with competition with other accommodations such as hotels, villas, and other inns. The results showed that the homestay marketing strategy has not been effective enough in Tourism Villages in South Sulawesi, because homestay owners / managers and pokdarwis as homestay marketing coordinators in tourism villages have not had the right concept in their marketing. The role of information technology has not increased the effectiveness of homestay digital marketing in tourism villages in South Sulawesi due to limited digital literacy and resources.

Adaptation, Academic Performance and Support: Students with and without Disabilities and Future Considerations for Counselling Psychology.

The transition to university is a process that presents young adults with several challenges in adaptation, especially students with disabilities. The current study investigated the differences in adaptation and academic performance between students with and without disabilities and further examined these differences among students with disabilities. Additionally, we explored the role of academic support for students with disabilities' adaptation and academic performance, as well as their perceptions of a proposed specialised package of counselling psychology interventions. The sample consisted of 127 students with disabilities and 127 without disabilities, aged 18-24 years. Results revealed that students with disabilities reported a lower GPA and adaptation than students without disabilities. Additionally, differences among students with disabilities were observed only in terms of GPA, according to their disability type, existence of comorbidity and type of exam accommodations. Interestingly, no differences were found in GPA or adaptation between students with disabilities who utilised psychological therapy and those who did not. Finally, adaptation scores, but not GPA, were higher for students with disabilities who were positive in receiving a specialised package of counselling psychology interventions. The findings are discussed in relation to the existing literature and future considerations of counselling psychology's role in support of students with disabilities.

Exploring the impact of hotel attributes and services on price and revenue: A hedonic pricing model approach with a focus on internal and external segmentation and repeat customers

Hedonic pricing (HP) models are widely used to capture the price heterogeneity of hotel attributes and complementary services. This study uses a broad-ranging database with information about 11 hotels, located in the same Majorcan (Spain) coastal town, to identify the main attributes, complementary services and guest characteristics that affect hotel pricing, hotel revenue (RevPAR) and repeat stays. The results found that, aside from the main sources of price variability, such as accommodation type, location and season, other hotel attributes/services were found to influence these dependent variables: refurbishments, room type, occupancy level, number of stars, clients’ online ratings and the specific hotel. Attributes/services did not have a homogeneous effect on the three types of models estimated, as some attributes increased prices without increasing RevPAR or number of repeat stays.
