Inbound Tourism

Limited studies have empirically shown that the inbound tourism of South Korea (hereafter Korea) is positively influenced by Hallyu, a Korean popular culture. Conceptually, some studies have suggested that in recent years, the popularity of Korean popular music is greater than Korean dramas, which spread Hallyu beyond the boundary of Korea since the late 1990s. This research note is the first attempt to analyse the effects of the two main aspects of Hallyu: broadcast, inclusive of Korean dramas and variety shows, and Korean popular music, on Korea’s inbound tourism. The findings suggest that broadcast has a stronger positive impact than Korean popular music on Korea’s inbound tourism because broadcast improves the destination image by featuring locations.

Destination Selection

Films are one of the most important actors of popular culture and have the ability to influence many people worldwide in a short period of time. Due to this feature of films, people may be disposed to visit the locales in the films they are watching, or the places where films are shot. With this increasing trend in recent years, people choose their destinations in the direction of films they are influenced by. In addition to learning many places to sightsee, people can also have information about the cuisine culture and restaurants of countries where films are filmed and can visit the places being talked about. Countries can create a destination image through food-themed films, and they can take place near the top in destination selections. In this study, it is mentioned the use of food-themed films in the destination selections and it is determined which countries are at the forefront in this regard through examination of the food-themed films.

The Relationship

Gastronomy tourism, as a new tourism mode with special interest, can not only stimulate tourists’ interest in experiencing local traditional food, but also better meet tourists’ personalized experience needs, which is highly respected by the tourism market. Based on the research of scholars at home and abroad, this paper takes Macao food tourists as the research object to study the relationship among tourism experience, perceived value and destination image. The results show that the tourism experience of Macao food tourists has a significant positive impact on their perceived value and destination image, while the perceived value of tourists has a significant positive impact on their destination image. Based on the above research results, this paper puts forward several suggestions for the sustainable development of Macao’s gastronomy tourism and makes a little contribution to the development of Macao’s gastronomy tourism.

Liver Biopsies

Mitochondrial alterations were studied in 25 liver biopsies from patients with alcoholic liver disease. Of special interest were the morphologic resemblance of certain fine structural variations in mitochondria and crystalloid inclusions. Four types of alterations within mitochondria were found that seemed to relate to cytoplasmic crystalloids.Type 1 alteration consisted of localized groups of cristae, usually oriented in the long direction of the organelle (Fig. 1A). In this plane they appeared serrated at the periphery with blind endings in the matrix. Other sections revealed a system of equally-spaced diagonal lines lengthwise in the mitochondrion with cristae protruding from both ends (Fig. 1B). Profiles of this inclusion were not unlike tangential cuts of a crystalloid structure frequently seen in enlarged mitochondria described below.

Abstract Many children who use AAC experience difficulties with acquiring grammar. At the 9th Annual Conference of ASHA's Special Interest Division 12, Augmentative and Alternative Communication, Binger presented recent research results from an intervention program designed to facilitate the bound morpheme acquisition of three school-aged children who used augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). Results indicated that the children quickly began to use the bound morphemes that were taught; however, the morphemes were not maintained until a contrastive approach to intervention was introduced. After the research results were presented, the conference participants discussed a wide variety of issues relating to grammar acquisition for children who use AAC. Some of the main topics of discussion included the following: provision of supports for grammar comprehension and expression, intervention techniques to support grammatical morpheme acquisition, and issues relating to AAC device use when teaching grammatical morpheme use.
