In today's modern world, creative expression is opening up new dimensions of business and new opportunities for economic development. One field of economic activities in which this is evident is tourism. Creativity in tourist destinations can be viewed in different ways, for example, through creative action (undertaken by destination management, residents, entrepreneurs, and tourists) and through creative spaces and creative events. Creativity plays a vital role in all elements involved in the creation of a destination's offering, regardless of which form of tourism is the focus of development efforts. Given the growing role of self-actualisation of individuals in society and the displaying of social status, creativity has in the past 20 years begun to positively impact on economy activities taking place in tourist destinations. Creativity is especially important in developing cultural tourism in all its sub-types, where it is seen as a means of animating and adding value to cultural heritage locations.

IntroductionAeromedical Evacuation (AE) is a vital role of the Defence Medical Services (DMS). With a far-reaching defence global footprint, an AE capability is crucial to enable movement of patients in the fastest, safest and least stressful way that meets or exceeds the level of care an injured or ill person may expect to receive in the UK. Operation (Op) TRENTON is a UK military humanitarian operation in support of the United Nations (UN) Mission in South Sudan.MethodsA retrospective analysis was carried out of all patients who underwent AE from the UK level 2 hospital at Bentiu during Op TRENTON over a 17-month period from June 2017 to October 2018.Results14 patients underwent AE. The median age was 36 (22–64) years and all patients were male. 21% of AEs were for UK personnel and 79% were for UN personnel. 29% of AEs were due to non-battle injury with the remainder due to disease. Musculoskeletal was the largest diagnostic group (n=4) followed by respiratory (n=3), cardiovascular (n=2), undifferentiated febrile illness (n=2), neurology (n=1), renal medicine (n=1) and psychiatry (n=1).ConclusionsPatients requiring AE from the level 2 hospital at Bentiu mostly had musculoskeletal and medical pathology, a stark contrast to the trauma patient cohort from operations in the past. The majority of patients had definitive care under the medical team highlighting the requirement for DMS physicians and the AE team, to be trained in acute, general and aviation medicine. The majority of AE moves were for UN personnel and on UN airframes, highlighting the importance of a sound understanding of the nations we are working with.

Abstract While Hegel’s infamous “end of art” thesis states that art is “for us, a thing of the past” he insists that philosophy and, to a degree that is often underestimated by contemporary readers, religion endure within the structure of modern life. In this paper I aim to demonstrate how by focusing on Hegel’s claim that religion meets no end, we can come to a better understanding of how and why he thinks art does end. This will lead us away from common, but false, picture of Hegel as being indifferent (or even hostile) to art’s sensuous mode of intelligibility. Inasmuch as religion remains both necessarily sensuous and a component of social life that realizes freedom and divinity within modernity, the “problem” with art cannot be its sensuousness per se. What art ultimately finds itself unable to do, and what religion can do, is find a way to reconcile the destabilizing force of individual, subjective freedom with a jointly-held representation of who and what we are and what we value most, what Hegel calls “divinity” (das Göttliche). By countenancing the vital role of religion in Hegel’s thought, we can therefore better understand one of his most famous, and least understood philosophical claims.

This chapter offers a short summary of policy implications raised by the book’s historical research. It comments on the speed and nature of change; the importance of context and state formation; the vital role of public deliberation as well as official compliance; the politics of anti-corruption; and the socio-cultural dimensions that frame what constitutes corruption in office. It is argued that policies should be bottom-up and deliberative as well as top-down and formal; that anti-corruption is a protracted, political and contested process which involves personal, institutional and systemic issues as well as extensive public discussion of ethical questions; that rule-change is easier to achieve than culture-change but reform requires both; that the art of governance is a balance between trust and distrust of office-holders, and between formal and informal modes of accountability; and that history is useful in offering data about the process of anti-corruption and influence of the past.

Visual inspection research has a long history spanning the 20th century and continuing to the present day. Current efforts in multiple venues demonstrate that visual inspection continues to have a vital role for many different types of tasks in the 21st century. The nature of this role spans the range from traditional human visual inspection to fully automated detection of defects. Consequently, today’s practitioners must not only successfully identify and apply lessons learned from the past, but also explore new areas of research in order to derive solutions for modern day issues such as those presented by introducing automation during inspection. A key lesson from past research indicates that the factors that can degrade performance will persist today, unless care is taken to design the inspection process appropriately.

The significant role of Trauma theory in literature lights the psyche of an individual precisely. The twenty first century paves the gateway to contemplate the struggles and the conflicts of inner self. Sigmund Freud is the pioneer to set forth the psycho-analytical theory in distinctive aspects in the late twentieth century. He is the root for all other contemporary writers to follow suit.

In the humanities and social sciences, with the rise of memory studies, there has been an important theoretical shift in how we engage the past. What used to be studied with the methodically elaborate field of history no longer seems adequate. With memory becoming an ever-present framework with which to look at culture, literature, social phenomena, politics, and the arts, a theoretical conviction has come to prevail that says collective memory is a larger framework within which history and other approaches to the past must be situated. This paper tries to address this theoretical conviction of conflating history with collective memory by arguing that collective memory cannot be a be-all umbrella term encapsulating historical representation or other approaches to the past such as tradition. It does so by uncovering the ground for such a conviction, during which a clearer view of the role of history and the limits of collective memory emerge. The investigation shows that indiscriminate application of the concept of collective memory in every approach dealing with the past makes the concept almost meaningless and betrays its two crucial characters, or limits: that of i) temporal finiteness and ii) fragmentariness. In so doing, it restores the vital role history plays in trying to get at the truth of the past. The article concludes by calling for deeper engagement with foundational conceptual and theoretical issues in collective memory research if it is to establish itself as a longstanding field of inquiry.

Bible translation and indigenous hymnody have always been important parts of the localization of the Christian faith. In this study, we describe how local songwriters creating songs with lyrics based on translated scriptures play a vital role in the process of localization in Christian communities in Indonesia. We focus primarily on thirty-nine scripture songwriting workshops that we and our colleagues conducted over the past six years in Indonesia, as well as ongoing interactions we had with communities in Ambon and Central Sulawesi. We begin with a literature review to establish the influences which shaped our songwriting workshops and our motivation for conducting them, and then we describe the workshops themselves and the process of musical localization that took place. Throughout the study, we highlight the role of local agency, the importance of fusion genres, and the creation of unique Christian identities through the localization of music.

Abstract in English: Waqf (Islamic Endowment) has played a vital role in solving the social problems throughout the history.  This paper aims at discussing the role of waqf in tackling the current global pandemic i.e., COVID -19.  The paper discusses the possibility of using waqf as a mechanism for mitigating the negative effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Considering the strong connection between waqf and the stipulated conditions by the waqif (donor), the paper analyses the views of the past and contemporary jurists on the extent of the permissibility of overriding the conditions of the donor (shart al-waqif) by the waqf management.  This paper adopts qualitative methodology, and the textual analysis is being used by reviewing the literature and previous studies related to the issue.  The paper reaches some conclusions, the most important of which are: the confirmation of the vital role of waqf in alleviating the severity of COVID-19 pandemic.  Likewise, waqf management is permitted to breach the conditions of the waqif if the need is warranted and the objective of waqf is being considered.  To avoid the challenges of shart al-waqif (conditions of the waqif), the paper proposes the establishment of waqf, which will be looking after the interest and affairs of the victims of crises “waqf for azamat”.  Besides, the paper recommends to the researchers and waqf managements reviewing of the structure of the Crises-Waqf.   Abstract in Arabic: مشروع الوقف الإسلامي من الوسائل المهمة في تحقيق التنمية الاجتماعية وله دور عظيم في المشكلات التي تواجه المجتمع.  الهدف من هذه الدراسة الوقوف على الأدوار يمكن أن يلعبه الوقف الإسلامي في مواجهة فيروس كورونا ما يسمى ب" كوفيد-19 " . تمت مناقشة مدى جواز توظيف الوقف الإسلامي كوسيلة لتقليل الآثار السلبية التي نجمت من هذا الفيروس. ولا شك أن للوقف الإسلامي علاقة وطيدة بشرط الواقفين لذلك حاولت الدراسة الوقوف على آراء الفقهاء قديما وحديثا، ومن ثم تحليلها لمعرفة مدى إمكانية خروج المؤسسات الوقفية عن شرط الواقفين. تم توظيف منهج البحث النوعي التحليلي من خلال مراجعة الأدبيات والدراسات السابقة المتعلقة بهذه المسألة. توصلت هذه الدراسة إلى جملة من النتائج، من أهمها: أن للوقف الإسلامي دوراً كبيرا في التنمية الاجتماعية ويمكن استخدامه في مواجهة فيروس كورونا- كوفيد-19، كما أظهرت نتائج البحث أنه يجوز لناظر الوقف أو المؤسسات الوقفية الخروج من شرط الواقفين إذا دعت الحاجة إلى ذلك، مع مراعاة مصلحة الوقف. وخروجاً من مشكلة شرط الواقف، تقترح هذه الدراسة للمؤسسات الوقفية إنشاء وقف إسلامي يهتم برعاية شؤون المتضررين من الأزمات "وقف الأزمات"، كما توصي الورقة المؤسّسات الوقفية والباحثين بالعمل في إنشاء "وقف الأزمات".
