As one of the first studies to explore the joint consumption of both leisure and pandemic-related tourism products in former pandemic epicenters, this research expands the scope of dark tourism to include former pandemic epicenters. The motivational determinants of intention to visit leisure and pandemic-related sites are empirically identified using an ordered logit model. This is the first study which formally proposes patriotism as a new push motive in stimulating people to visit post-disaster destinations. The identified segmentations of tourists with different levels of push–pull motives and socio-demographic features provide key stakeholders and practitioners in former epicenters with a systematic recovery plan in the post-pandemic era.

This study presents an empirical investigation of the impacts of real-time weather conditions on the freeway crash severity. A Bayesian spatial generalized ordered logit model was developed for modeling the crash severity using the hourly wind speed, air temperature, precipitation, visibility, and humidity, as well as other observed factors. A total of 1424 crash records from Kaiyang Freeway, China in 2014 and 2015 were collected for the investigation. The proposed model can simultaneously accommodate the ordered nature in severity levels and spatial correlation across adjacent crashes. Its strength is demonstrated by the existence of significant spatial correlation and its better model fit and more reasonable estimation results than the counterparts of a generalized ordered logit model. The estimation results show that an increase in the precipitation is associated with decreases in the probabilities of light and severe crashes, and an increase in the probability of medium crashes. Additionally, driver type, vehicle type, vehicle registered province, crash time, crash type, response time of emergency medical service, and horizontal curvature and vertical grade of the crash location, were also found to have significant effects on the crash severity. To alleviate the severity levels of crashes on rainy days, some engineering countermeasures are suggested, in addition to the implemented strategies.

This article aims to introduce the use of ordered logit model with time series data in milk productivity studies and determine the important factor levels affecting the milk yield of Holstein Friesians. The data consists of 2002 records collected for the years 2009-2015 from the reports of the Cattle Breeders’ Association of Turkey (CBAT) in Muðla province in Turkey. The direct and marginal effects of the variables: parity, lactation length and year of calving on milk yield are investigated and the probabilities regarding the milk yield production for a given specific parity, lactation length and calving year are calculated. The results show that milk yield slightly increases on the 4th parity of cows. As far as the years concerned, although there had mostly been a steady amount of milk production between 2009 and 2015 years, there was a significant decrease in 2011 and increase in 2014.
