The transformation of the fishing industry into tourism has become a global trend. Due to the continuous crisis on the field, professional fishermen turn to maritime tourism activities, providing a memorable tourism experience to visitors. Fishing tourism is a relatively new development in sustainable tourism, where tourists have the opportunity to participate in fishing operations by casting and pulling in the nets and taste freshly caught fish cooked on board. Over the past seven years, Greece, following the other European countries, has rapidly adopted this conversion into tourism. The aim of this research is to examine the possibilities and prospects for the development of fishing tourism in Greece. This is achieved through face-to-face interviews with 40 experienced fishers who wanted to be actively involved in this whole process. The analysis of data revealed positive results in this groundbreaking form of tourism.

O presente estudo é desenvolvido no Aproveitamento Hidrelétrico Serra do Facão e, dentre as medidas recomendadas para o controle e/ou erradicação das doenças infecciosas, realiza-se a vigilância entomológica que é uma ferramenta importante para a prevenção de doenças em saúde pública. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar a relação entre a ocorrência das chuvas e a presença de vetores das doenças em estudo, durante 12 meses de análise. A Usina fica a aproximadamente 58 quilômetros de distância da área urbana da cidade de Catalão. A metodologia utilizada para o desenvolvimento da presente pesquisa foi o monitoramento de insetos vetores com capturas mensais em seis locais de exposição das armadilhas denominados “pontos”, localizados ao longo da área de influência da SEFAC (Usina Hidrelétrica Serra do Facão). Após 12 meses de capturas, passado todas as estações do ano, tem-se observado que os pontos 2 e 4, em dias úmidos ou secos, são os que apresentam maiores índices de captura, enquanto na outra extremidade estão os pontos 1 e 5, que não importando a estação, apresentam sempre número reduzido de exemplares capturados. O gênero do Flebótomos continua sendo o mais numeroso em termo de captura, com destaque para o ponto 4 com mais de 56% do total de mosquitos apreendidos. Todavia, espera-se mesmo com o enchimento do lago entender até que ponto, o comportamento pluviométrico e empreendimento influenciará na população e na dispersão desses mosquitos. Palavras- Chave: Chuva; Vetores, Hidrelétrica  Climate Behaviour and Propagation Vectors in the Area of Sierra Facao Hydrolectric - Goias in Brazil  ABSTRACT This study is developed in Hydroelectric Sierra Facão and among the measures recommended for the control or eradication of infectious diseases carried out entomological surveillance is an important tool for disease prevention in public health. The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between the occurrence of rainfall and the presence of vectors of the diseases studied during 12 months of analysis. The plant is located about 58 km away from the urban area of Catalan. The methodology used for the development of this research was the monitoring of monthly catches insects with six locations in the exposure of traps called ";;;points";;;, located along the area of influence SEFAC (Hydroelectric Sierra Facão). After 12 months of catch, all the past seasons, has been observed that the points 2 and 4 days in moist or dry are those who have higher rates of capture, while at the other end points are 1 and 5, that no matter the season, few have ever captured. The gender of Phlebotomus remains the most numerous in terms of capture, especially point 4 with more than 56% of the total mosquitoes caught. However, it is expected that with the filling of the lake to understand to what extent the behavior of rainfall and new development will influence the population and the dispersal of mosquitoes.  Keywords: Rain; Vectors, Hydroelectric

Original Point

This essay tracks the history of teacher preparation, from its origins in the early republic to the present. In so doing, it tells two stories. The first is a story about problems—a linear story in which problems are discovered, potential solutions are generated, and positive results are achieved. It moves from the past to the future and from the old to the new. The other story is about dilemmas. And because dilemmas cannot be solved, the passage of time leads back to the original point of departure. Solutions are tried and discarded, but as the past is forgotten, they eventually are embraced again. In telling these two stories, the essay proceeds chronologically, highlighting improvements in teacher preparation practice over time. That relatively linear chronology, however, is organized into four periods, which reveal not a march of progress, but an unmindful return to the once-maligned practices of the past.

Pros And Cons

As I’ve quipped more than a few times to colleagues over the past year-and-a-half of COVID-19 restrictions, I’ve been practicing for a pandemic for more than 20 years. I am all too familiar with the pros and cons of working from home over extended periods. I was a pioneer in that arena, starting in the days (about 1999) when using a modem and my home telephone line to dial into the Internet was a technology breakthrough. I couldn’t have started my at-home business without that outside link to the world and a way to exchange digital files with my designer, who had moved to the other side of the continent. But, even with the blistering speed that fiber-optic cabling now provides for efficiently exchanging ever larger files between us (we still work together and we still live far away from each other), I appreciate more than most the value of working face-to-face daily with colleagues.

Flow Quality

Abstract As a tool to present the systematic application of QFD to product development, a “two-storied quality chart” model is conceived which the project team prepares with the support of functional departments. To consider the progress of time, this chart is further developed to contain two parts, one to be provided for the new development and the other relying on data accumulated in the past. Furthermore a “parallel flow quality chart” is conceived, considering the job sharing between the project team and functional departments. By means of these concept models it is made clear that the development activities pushed forward simultaneously by many departments can be separately treated as individual quality deployment in each department. In this way the application of QFD to a complicated product development, in which many departments are involved, is made much easier.

In a pandemic COVID-19, where we are now, there is an urgent need to move to a new stage of development and reconstruction of the existing methods of teaching, in particular, the active use of digital technologies. Over the past decades, the number of students using distance technologies has been growing very rapidly. This indicates that this form of training has received recognition. Certain experience has been accumulated and positive results have been obtained. An increase in the number of universities providing training in these technologies signals a global trend towards a transition to non-traditional forms of education. All this is reflected in the system of training specialists in higher educational institutions. Global integration processes, affecting all spheres of human activity, pose significant new tasks. Such a task is the training of professional journalists. This article talks about the new possibilities of online education in the teaching of journalism disciplines. We tried to analyze these technologies and identify the positive aspects of online learning. Also on the basis of the analysis of questionnaires among students of Kazan Federal University and with the aim of increasing students' motivation and effectiveness, some recommendations are given on the example of mastering the course “History of Domestic Journalism”.

Definition Of

During the past investigations of immunoferritin localization of intracellular antigens in ultrathin frozen sections, we found that the degree of negative staining required to delineate u1trastructural details was often too dense for the recognition of ferritin particles. The quality of positive staining of ultrathin frozen sections, on the other hand, has generally been far inferior to that attainable in conventional plastic embedded sections, particularly in the definition of membranes. As we discussed before, a main cause of this difficulty seemed to be the vulnerability of frozen sections to the damaging effects of air-water surface tension at the time of drying of the sections.Indeed, we found that the quality of positive staining is greatly improved when positively stained frozen sections are protected against the effects of surface tension by embedding them in thin layers of mechanically stable materials at the time of drying (unpublished).

Recent Extension

Image shifts in out-of-focus dark field images have been used in the past to determine, for example, epitaxial relationships in thin films. A recent extension of the use of dark field image shifts has been to out-of-focus images in conjunction with stereoviewing to produce an artificial stereo image effect. The technique, called through-focus dark field electron microscopy or 2-1/2D microscopy, basically involves obtaining two beam-tilted dark field images such that one is slightly over-focus and the other slightly under-focus, followed by examination of the two images through a conventional stereoviewer. The elevation differences so produced are usually unrelated to object positions in the thin foil and no specimen tilting is required.In order to produce this artificial stereo effect for the purpose of phase separation and identification, it is first necessary to select a region of the diffraction pattern containing more than just one discrete spot, with the objective aperture.

Music Tradition

This paper explores Arnold Schoenberg’s curious ambivalence towards Haydn. Schoenberg recognized Haydn as an important figure in the German serious music tradition, but never closely examined or clearly articulated Haydn’s influence and import on his own musical style and ethos, as he did with many other major composers. This paper argues that Schoenberg failed to explicitly recognize Haydn as a major influence because he saw Haydn as he saw himself, namely as a somewhat ungainly, paradoxical figure, with one foot in the past and one in the future. In his voluminous writings on music, Haydn is mentioned by Schoenberg far less frequently than Bach, Mozart, or Beethoven, and his music appears rarely as examples in Schoenberg’s theoretical texts. When Schoenberg does talk about Haydn’s music, he invokes — with tacit negativity — its accessibility, counterpoising it with more recondite music, such as Beethoven’s, or his own. On the other hand, Schoenberg also praises Haydn for his complex, irregular phrasing and harmonic exploration. Haydn thus appears in Schoenberg’s writings as a figure invested with ambivalence: a key member of the First Viennese triumvirate, but at the same time he is curiously phantasmal, and is accorded a peripheral place in Schoenberg’s version of the canon and his own musical genealogy.

The One

Starting from the cry of the seraphim in Isaiahʹ s prophecy, this article aims to follow the rhythm of the sacred harmony, transcending the symbols of the angelic world and of the divine names, to get to the face to face meeting between man and God, just as the seraphim, reflecting their existence, stand face to face. The finality of the sacred harmony is that, during the search for God inside the human being, He reveals Himself, which is the reason for the affirmation of “I Am that I Am.” Through its hypnotic cyclicality, the profane temporality has its own musicality. Its purpose is to incubate the unsuspected potencies of the beings “caught” in the material world. Due to the fact that it belongs to the aeonic time, the divine music will exceed in harmony the mechanical musicality of profane time, dilating and temporarily cancelling it. Isaiah is witness to such revelation offering access to the heavenly concert. He is witness to divine harmonies produced by two divine singers, whose musical history is presented in our article. The seraphim accompanied the chosen people after their exodus from Egypt. The cultic use of the trumpet is related to the characteristics and behaviour of the seraphim. The seraphic music does not belong to the Creator, but its lyrics speak about the presence of the Creator in two realities, a spiritual and a material one. Only the transcendence of the divine names that are sung/cried affirms a unique reality: God. The chant-cry is a divine invocation with a double aim. On the one hand, the angels and the people affirm God’s presence and call His name and, on the other, the Creator affirms His presence through the angels or in man, the one who is His image and His likeness. The divine music does not only create, it is also a means of communion, implementing the relation of man to God and, thus, God’s connection with man. It is a relation in which both filiation and paternity disappear inside the harmony of the mutual recognition produced by music, a reality much older than Adam’s language.

Real Growth

Countries with positive per capita real growth are characterised by positive national savings—including government savings, increases in government investment, and strong increases in private savings and investment. On the other hand, countries with negative per capita real growth tend to be characterised by declines in savings and investment. During the past several decades, Kenya’s emerging economy has undergone many changes and economic performance has been epitomised by periods of stability, decline, or unevenness. This article discusses and analyses the record of economic performance and public finance in Kenya during the period 1960‒2010, as well as policies and other factors that have influenced that record in this emerging economy.
