Before the COVID pandemic, solo travel was getting more and more popular – especially among women travelers. Both demographic, social trends, and inner motivations enhanced the popularity of this type of travel. The aging society and the single lifestyle increased the demand on the one hand, while on the other hand, the desire for self-realization, to find new ways of life, escapism, the thirst for self-confidence drive more tourists to travel alone. In the case of women travelers, their increasing decisive power and independence also boosted solo travel. The tourism industry also offers several attractions specially designed for them. The post-pandemic era will show how this special group of travelers will react to the changed circumstances and how they will change their travel habits. The paper examines how frequently Hungarian respondents travel alone and what their attitudes towards this type of traveling are.

In his text on the ‘Exposition Universelle 1855’, Baudelaire upholds what he calls ‘cosmopolitisme’ as the antidote to the constraining influence of universalizing principles of taste that are meant to define beauty for all times and places. Baudelaire’s view is that such aesthetic systems close off the possibility of beauty, which, he maintains must contain an element of novelty. Accordingly, the proper attitude for the viewer (or reader or spectator) to take before a work of art is one that remains always open to novelty and to the ‘universal vitality’ out of which it springs. This attitude is the cosmopolitan one. Yet Baudelaire characterizes this attitude in ways that seem fundamentally incompatible if not diametrically opposed. On the one hand, cosmopolitanism as described in this text seems to involve the slow, lived apprenticeship in the values, ways of life, and criteria of judgement of those in other places, the better to be able to appreciate the beauty of the objects produced in them. On the other, he speaks of the appropriate attitude toward an aesthetic object — indeed toward any object that presents itself to our senses — as one resulting solely from the spectator’s exertions on his or her own mind and will, exertions by which the spectator refrains from imposing criteria of judgement upon the putative aesthetic object in order, instead, to derive one’s criteria from it. While the text on the ‘Exposition’ provides the reader with no way of resolving this contradiction, Baudelaire’s remarks on fashion in ‘Le Peintre de la vie moderne’ (1863) provide a dialectical resolution.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is twofold – on the one hand, to introduce a framework for benchmarking of wine regions and on the other, to analyze the activities of wineries in Bulgaria with a clear focus on tourism. Design/methodology/approach The research design includes secondary data and content analysis, which are complemented by a survey among wine cellar owners and managers in the country, including respondents from all five wine regions. Findings The paper has identified several problems that impede wine tourism development in Bulgaria, including: small number of wineries, small share of Protected Designation of Origin wines, ineffective business hours structure and small share of wineries offering additional services beyond tasting or cellar-door sales. On the other hand, wineries in Bulgaria conform to international trends in terms of providing accommodation, restaurant and SPA treatments. The survey revealed that tourism-hosting wineries consider wine tourism an important part of their activity but do not succeed in attracting a sufficient number of visitors, and the share of tourism-related revenues to their total incomes is small. Research limitations/implications The survey included all the wineries in the country; in one of the regions (the Black Sea region), however, the response rate was very low, which means that while results and conclusions are representative for the country as a whole, they might not be applicable to this specific region. Originality/value The research results refer to an emerging wine destination, which has not been the object of a comprehensive study yet. In addition, the proposed update of an existing benchmarking model reflects recent changes and trends in the wine tourism industry.

In the setting of the transformation of our societies to become multicultural ones, we intend in this paper to examine situations in a mathematics classroom where respect for, and exclusion of, the ‘different’ co-exist. Conducting an instrumental case study, we follow two Grade 4 groups while they are solving a mathematics generalization task. We examine how the interaction that took place between the members of the teams mirrors the two faces of the same coin (i.e. the culture of the classroom) and at the same time reflects the change in the primary classroom that necessitates openness and genuine respect for the ‘different’. On the one hand, we will demonstrate the dynamic of the harmony that was apparent between the members of one of the groups since the ‘different’ was not a barrier but a source of mathematical ideas that contributed to the solution. On the other hand, the lack of openness in the other group resulted in good opportunities for ‘doing mathematics’ being missed and put the self-confidence of one of its members at risk. Keywords: classroom diversity and conflict, multicultural mathematics classroom, collaborative problem-solving

1. A systematic study has been made of 165 Brucella strains from different parts of the world, and a less intensive study, comprising only the H2S formation, dye sensitivity, and agglutinin-absorption tests, of a special group of 156 strains from the north-east, east, and south-east of France.2. For purposes of differentiation little weight can be attached to the use of morphological appearances, abundance of growth in culture, pigment formation, the appearance of crystals in the medium, the production of alkali in peptone water, or the utilisation of glucose.3. The presence of 5–10 per cent, of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is essential for the growth of most freshly isolated bovine abortus strains. This concentration frequently favours the growth of melitensis, though not of porcine abortus, strains. A concentration of 40 per cent. CO2 almost invariably inhibits to some extent the growth of melitensis and porcine abortus strains, and frequently inhibits the growth of bovine abortus strains. It may be concluded that, while the inhibition of growth of a given strain by 40 per cent. CO2 cannot be considered of differential value, the fact that growth in 40 per cent. CO2 is as good as, or better than, that in air is definitely in favour of its being of bovine abortus type, while the occurrence of growth in 10–40 per cent. CO2 but not in air almost certainly indicates that the strain belongs to this type.4. Most bovine abortus, para-abortus, and American porcine abortus strains produce H2S freely for 3 or 4 days, while melitensis, paramelitensis, and Danish porcine abortus strains fail to produce any, or more than a small quantity on the first day only. Though the failure of a given strain to produce H2S cannot be regarded as indicating that it is of melitensis, paramelitensis, or Danish porcine abortus type, the definite production of H2S can be considered as very strong evidence that it is of bovine abortus or American porcine abortus type.5. The dye sensitivity method, introduced by Huddleson, is of very real value in differentiation, and is the only certain method available for distinguishing between the bovine and porcine abortus types. By its means it is possible to divide Brucella strains into three main groups—bovine abortus and para-abortus, porcine abortus, and melitensis and paramelitensis. Not all strains, however, within a given group behave alike, and a number of sub-groups can be established on the basis of special sensitivity to one or more dyes. The method not infrequently yields results that demand considerable experience in their interpretation, and it cannot always be relied upon for the correct typing of individual strains.6. The thermo-agglutination test is one of the simplest methods of detecting antigenic roughness. Any strain that fails to react negatively to this test is unsuitable for the production of smooth antiserum or for use in routine diagnostic agglutination work.7. The agglutinin-absorption method, performed by a strictly quantitative technique, enables a differentiation to be made between bovine and porcine abortus strains on the one hand, and melitensis strains on the other, provided that smooth strains are employed both for the preparation of antisera and for absorption. The use of direct agglutination by monospecific abortus and melitensis sera affords a rapid and accurate means of typing individual strains, and may prove of value in the examination of strains which, while partly rough and unsuitable for absorption experiments, still retain sufficient smooth antigen to be agglutinated by one or other serum. It is also of great service in the detection of mixed strains. Both methods yield identical results.8. In the examination of the main group of strains the serological method proved more valuable than any other method in the correct allocation of individual strains, and the results agreed closely with those afforded by the dye method. In the examination, however, of the special group of strains from the north-east, east, and south-east of France, there was frequently a marked disagreement between the results of the H2S and dye tests on the one hand, and the serological method on the other, the chief divergence being that a number of strains reacting by the former methods as melitensis behaved serologically like abortus. It appears as if, in this particular area of France, strains occur having the metabolic properties of melitensis and the antigenic constitution of abortus.9. A study of the main group of strains by the various methods enumerated enabled them to be classified into the following groups: (a) bovine abortus with five sub-groups, (b) porcine abortus with two sub-groups, (c) melitensis with two sub-groups, (d) para-abortus with two sub-groups, and (e) paramelitensis.10. A study of the special group of strains from the eastern districts of France revealed the presence of ten sub-groups. Since it is rather doubtful to what main group many of the strains belong, they have been classified according to the host from which they were isolated.

Effective Development

In modern conditions, agrotourism is one of the most promising areas of development of the tourism industry. The growing interest of tourists in agrotourism is due to the intensification of the pace of life, excessive information load, and unfavorable environmental conditions in cities. On the one hand, agrotourism is an independent type of tourism, and on the other hand, it combines various types of tourism developed in rural areas, taking into account available resources. For rural areas, agrotourism is the tool that can ensure the inflow of financial resources, and, consequently, their effective development. Today the decision of tasks of development of agro-tourism in many regions is based on state-private partnership, due to the fact that the development of agritourism allows to increase the efficiency of use of resources of rural areas to provide rural residents more jobs, reduce the outflow of population to the cities, to increase the interest of local residents in the development of rural areas. The article considers the concept of agrotourism, specifies the tasks and factors of agrotourism development, analyzes foreign and domestic experience of agrotourism development. The state of development of agrotourism in the Tambov region is investigated, prospects of development of agrotourism in the Tambov region are determined, a set of measures for the organization of agrotourism in the Tambov region is proposed.

The Estonians are a small nation. Therefore, our relationship to our own culture is to a certain extent different from that of the big nations. The peculiarities of ones own culture are mainly perceived through comparison with others. The wave of national awakenings reached Estonia in the middle ofthe 19th century. By that time some Baltic-German organizations of an enlightening character had emerged, mainly focusing their attention on native people - the ones whose ethnic ancestors had lived in Estonia long before the Germans, Danes, Swedes, Poles, andfinally, the Russians had reached here. The main policy of alien authorities was to occupy our strategically and commercially important territory. The best means for achieving this was war: In the course ofthese conquests, attention was mainly focused on towns and churches; the changing of the everyday lives of the local people was not particularly in anybody's sphere of interest. As a result, two relatively different kinds of living conditions and ways of life existed side by side - on the one hand, the traditional culture of Estonian peasants and town craftsmen, and on the other, the European culture characteristic mainly of Baltic-German nobility and bourgeoisie.If we tried to describe these two different communities in museum categories, we could say that the first one represented a living open-air museum with its ethnographic look and folklore; the other a specimen of manor architecture with its art collections, and town architecture with the relics of a bourgeois way of life.

Drawing upon the work of Chantal Mouffe, Alasdair MacIntyre, and Bernard Lonergan, in this paper I develop an argument that, in our work as philosophers of education, we should support a particular form of what Ernst Boyer has termed the scholarship of integration, in part by being explicit both about the tradition(s) of inquiry in which we are working and about the nature of the particular contribution(s) we hope to make to those traditions. It offers five reasons why we should support systematic, sympathetic, agreement-oriented assessments of competing worldviews and corresponding ways of life. It advocates two kinds of “border crossings” as integral to such assessment: engagement across disciplines and fields on the one hand, engagement with rival paradigms within a discipline or field on the other.

On the one hand in recent years nature tourism (turystyka przyrodnicza) has constituted a significant part of the tourism industry, on the other it has caused many problems for researchers attempting to define the phenomenon. Should the tourism destination or its primary motivation determine its categorisation? Is there indeed a need when considering practice as well as theory? The authors of the article have attempted a discourse with both foreign and domestic literature and subsequently sought to find the perceived meaning of turystyka przyrodnicza (nature tourism) amongst students of Poznań University particularly those associated with the natural environment on their degree courses. The present article should be considered as a contribution to further work in this field theoretically as well as practically.

While this article salutes attempts to use Donald Davidson’s principles of radical interpretation in the study of religion in order to avoid the pitfalls of correspondence theory of truth, on the one hand, and cultural relativism, on the other, it suggests that an adequate understanding of religion may also take other pragmatic aspects of meaning into account. Buying into Jürgen Habermas’ critique of Davidson, the more specific argument is that a differentiation of validity criteria serves to disclose the restricted role “truth” plays in speech acts. It is also argued that although Richard Rorty’s skepticism towards universal criteria of rationality borders on relativism, he is justified in focusing more radically—along with Robert Brandom—on pragmatic and situational criteria of meaning. Finally, drawing on Wittgenstein’s concept of “perspicuous representation” I suggest an alternate way of coming to grips with meaning potentials in religious ways of life.

Complicated Nature

The papers in this issue emphasize, on the one hand, the complicated nature of individual situations facing tribal groups, and, on the other hand, outline the fact that all Indians face problems general to their ethnic group and in many respects common to all peoples confronted by necessary and seemingly inevitable transformations in their ways of life. To paraphrase Kluckhohn and Mowrer, all Indians are like all other subjected peoples, like all other Indians, like some other Indians and like no other Indians. It is evident, too, that the situations which Indian tribes and which Indians generally confront are seated in cultural, social, psychological, ecological, and historical variables, each of which is a complex of interrelated factors, and that these broad sets of variables, in turn, are interconnected and constitute a system despite the contradictory and opposing trends which they sometimes exhibit.
