Abstract:
Charred remains of Bison antiquus recovered in 1950 from lacustrine sediments at the Lubbock Lake archaeological site (Southern High Plains of Texas) yielded a radiocarbon age of 9,883 ± 350 years B.P. (C-558). The bone was believed to be from the Folsom occupation of the site and the date was considered to be the first for the Folsom culture in North America. Although the feature that contained the bone was correlated with bone beds that contained Folsom points found elsewhere at the site, the dated feature did not contain diagnostic artifacts and direct correlations with the Folsom features were not possible. Excavations at the site since 1973 provide data that demonstrate that the feature that produced the historic date is stratigraphically above the Folsom horizon. Sediment samples taken from the feature have yielded radiocarbon ages of 8,585 ± 145 years B.P. (SI-5499) and 8,130 ± 80 years B.P. (SMU-1089). These ages further demonstrate that the feature is from a post-Folsom occupation, and probably represents the Firstview occupation of the site. The Lindenmeier site, Colorado, probably produced the first radiocarbon age for the Folsom culture.

Abstract:
The Jim Pitts site is a multicomponent Paleoindian locality in the Black Hills of South Dakota, with a rare Goshen residential occupation. All Paleoindian components were comprised in the Leonard paleosol. The deepest component at the site is a Goshen level dated to 10,185 ± 25 B.P. It correlates with a late fall-early winter camp site. Over the course of its use parts of at least five bison were procured and introduced to the site. Above this level an array of point styles, including Goshen, Folsom, Agate Basin, several Fishtail points, James Allen, Cody, and Alberta, have also been found. The following study provides a typological and technological description of the point assemblage and weighs the implications of the chrono-cultural stratigraphy for reconstructing the Paleoindian cultural landscape. It questions the validity of some types, particularly Goshen, as cultural and chronological markers. Ultimately, the evidence presented here reinforces a model in which multiple Paleoindian point types occur simultaneously on the central and northern Great Plains. This in turn challenges a unilineal view of Paleoindian culture history.

Abstract:
Threatened aboriginal cultures provide valuable criteria for fruitful criticism of the dominant Western cultural paradigm and perceptual model, which many take for granted as the inevitable path for humankind to follow. However, this Western model has proven itself to be imprecise and limiting. It obscures fundamental aspects of human nature, such as the mythical, religious dimension, and communication with the Cosmos. Modern technology, high-speed communication and mass media affect our ability to perceive reality and respond to it. Non-Western worldviews could help us to regain meaningful communication with Nature and to learn new ways of perceiving our world.

Abstract:
Objective:To determine the duration of colonization with vancomycin-resistantEnterococcus(VRE) and the adequacy of 3 consecutive negative cultures to determine clearance.Design:Retrospective cohort study.Setting:A university hospital.Population:Patients identified by perirectal cultures as VRE carriers who had follow-up cultures.Methods:Follow-up perirectal cultures were collected in inpatient and outpatient settings, at least 1 week apart, when patients were not receiving antibiotics with activity against VRE. The likelihood of culture positivity was analyzed given prior culture results and time from the initial positive culture.Results:A total of 116 patients colonized with VRE had 423 follow-up cultures, a mean of 204 days (range, 4 to 709 days) after their initial isolate. The first follow-up culture, collected a mean of 125 days after the initial positive isolate, was negative in 64%. After 1 negative follow-up culture, the next one was negative in 92% of the patients. After 2 negative cultures, 95% remained culture-negative. After 3 sequential negative cultures, 35 (95%) of 37 patients remained culture-negative. As the interval between the initial and the follow-up isolates increased, the probability that a subsequent culture would be positive decreased (P< .001, chi square for trend). Prolonged hospitalization, intensive care, and antibiotic use each decreased the likelihood of clearing VRE.Conclusion:These data support the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criterion of 3 sequential negative cultures, at least 1 week apart, to remove patients from VRE isolation. Nevertheless, this may reflect a decrease in the quantity of VRE to an undetectable level and these patients should be observed for relapse, especially when re-treated with antibiotics.

Abstract:
Background: The diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI) is made based on symptoms, urinalysis and urine culture. While simple urinary tract infections do not require routine culture, the Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA) Guidelines state that complicated urinary tract infections should have urine cultures performed to determine which antibiotics are effective, as there is a higher risk of infection with resistant organisms. We hypothesized that the rate of urine cultures sent for complicated UTI is less than is recommended by the literature. Aim Statement: We aimed to implement a follow-up reporting system for Urinary Culture in patients diagnosed with complicated UTIs and raise our Urinary Culture rates in this population to 80% by June 2019. Measures & Design: We performed a single-center chart review using Emergency Department (ED) charts of non-admitted patients. They were audited daily for two weeks to obtain a sample of patients who had a discharge diagnosis of urinary tract infection, pyelonephritis or cystitis. Charts capturing these diagnoses were assessed to see if a culture was clinically indicated and if it was ordered. Charts were screened for the presence of any of the following criteria indicating complicated UTI: known structural or functional abnormality of the urinary tract, genitourinary obstruction, pregnancy, immunosuppression, diabetes, indwelling or intermittent catheter use, fever, male patient, clinical pyelonephritis, antimicrobial failure, or transfer from a nursing home. Data was then compiled to determine culture rates in complicated and uncomplicated UTIs. This prevalence rate established the baseline performance in the ED which was used to inform the quality improvement project. Evaluation/Results: Over a two week period, 26 patients were discharged from the ED with a diagnosis of UTI, with 17 of these patients meeting criteria for complicated UTI. Only 6 of 17 complicated UTIs were sent for urine culture, therefore our pre-implementation culture rate was 35%. After initial data collection, a follow-up system was designed ensuring that urine culture and sensitivities results would be compiled and reviewed daily at Hamilton Health Sciences. This system was created with input from key stakeholders including department chiefs, core lab services, ED physicians and business clerks. A discrepancy form was created for documentation of culture result recognition and any required patient follow up ie. antibiotic change. In October 2019, the system had been implemented for a month, after which another chart review was completed. 27 cases were captured, 18 of which were complicated. The complicated culture rate had increased significantly from 35% to 72%. Discussion/Impact: In the ED, ordering of cultures for patients being discharged, regardless of type, is commonly associated with concern of result follow up, which may take up to 72 hours. This discrepancy system was implemented to ensure that all urine cultures ordered had appropriate follow up, thus supporting physicians in ordering cultures when indicated. The significant improvement in culture rate from 35% to 72% is balanced by one single culture of all 9 simple UTIs (11%). In PDSA cycle 2, we hope to increase rates to 90% by improving current challenges with the system.

Abstract:
Do cultures differ with respect to judgments of rationality? If so, does it follow that rationality is culturally specific, or that cultures have their own `rationalities'? If so, does it further follow that the philosophical status or worthiness of multiculturalism as a social value or ideal varies from culture to culture? In this article I consider the relationship between rationality and multiculturalism; offer a characterization of the latter that enables it to survive Stanley Fish$quoteright$s claim that `no one could possibly be a multiculturalist in any interesting and coherent sense'; criticize Richard Shweder$quoteright$s case for `divergent rationality'; and argue for a `universalistic', culture-independent understanding of rationality.

Abstract:
Abstract Background Blood cultures are the gold standard in the identification of laboratory confirmed bloodstream infections (LCBI) but contamination can lead to unnecessary interventions. This study sought to assess the number of unwarranted admissions in patients with contaminated blood cultures post-discharge and at low risk for LCBI before and after the implementation of a multidisciplinary emergency department (ED) blood culture follow-up program. Methods This was a two-phase retrospective cohort study at a tertiary care, 1,550-bed, academic hospital and level I trauma center in southeast Florida. Phase 1 assessed interventions made on patients 18 years of age or older discharged from the ED or a hospital observation unit with a positive blood culture result post-discharge from March 2018 to July 2018. Phase 2 assessed interventions made from December 2018 to March 2019 post-implementation of the multidisciplinary follow-up program. The criteria for low risk of LCBI were lack of risk factors for infection and < 2 positive blood cultures with a commensal bacteria with no symptoms of fever or hypotension on the date of specimen collection and 3 days before or after such date. Results Among patients at low risk for LCBI (46% of 24 patients in phase 1 vs. 59% of 22 patients in phase 2), unwarranted admissions due to contaminated blood cultures occurred in 27.3% of patients in phase 1 vs. 0% of patients in phase 2 (P = 0.08). Phase 1 represented a period in which systematic reporting and evaluation of positive results and patient follow-up were not in place. Phase 2 consisted of daily pharmacist-led blood culture reviews with callback nurse follow-up and therapeutic care plan development with ED physicians. The number of contaminant isolates was relatively high (Figures 1 and 2). Pharmacist-led interventions were diverse (Figure 3). The program led to an estimated total cost avoidance of $16,410.80 in a median of 4.5 months due to unnecessary admissions. Conclusion Implementation of a multidisciplinary ED post-discharge blood culture follow-up program can be an effective strategy in improving patient care and avoiding unnecessary antibiotic therapy. Further interventions aimed at reducing blood culture contamination could have a direct impact on improving ED antimicrobial stewardship. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.

Abstract:
The focus of this study was to manipulate factors to determine whether mental representation of logical problems differed by culture. The cultural differences hypothesis suggests that Anglo students would be more likely to have a linear representation (e.g., arranging objects that differ in a "line" mentally) whereas Hispanic students would have a nonlinear (pivot) representation. The results indicated that Hispanic children solved questions better if they appeared in a pivotal format, whereas Anglo children performed better if the stimuli were presented in a linear method. With grade level children improved upon the linear format. This suggests that there may be differences in mental representations of objects for Hispanic children that is influenced by acculturation.

Abstract:

In order to be successful in the fight against drugs we must understand how the drug problem continues to evolve in the 21st century. Today, with access to the deep Web portion of the Internet, drug users no longer need to have face-to-face communication with their dealers, and hard cash in their wallets in order to get their fix. Just like buying a book from Amazon, marijuana, cocaine, or heroin can now be delivered securely to your front door by the U.S. Postal Service. Over the last decade there have been no shortages of studies about the deep Web from the health, criminal justice, and computer science disciplines. Additionally, there have been many news stories about the public FBI arrest of the Dread Pirate Roberts and the follow-on U.S. government seizure of his popular deep Web drug market, the Silk Road. Though helpful for general public awareness and to their field of study, these reviews typically limit cultural aspects. This study addresses this issue by exploring how the deep Web drug subculture was affected during the immediate days following the U.S. government seizure of the Silk Road market. The findings express the personal side of what the members of this culture went through and provide critical insights into this emerging form of crime and the communication and trust that shapes the subculture.

Abstract:
Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur de ansvariga för jämställdhetsarbetet på Folksam arbetar med jämställdhet. Syftet är även att undersöka vilka normer och kulturer som kan påverka deras jämställdhetsarbete. Detta undersöks genom fyra stycken semistrukturerade intervjuer med två stycken som arbetar internt, med att få just Folksam mer jämställt, och två stycken på Folksam som arbetar externt, med att få andra företag både i Sverige och utomlands att bli mer jämställda. Slutsatsen är att respondenterna på Folksam blir påverkade av normer från till exempel politiken, för att politiken kräver att de ska vara jämställda, men också för att deras kunder vill det. Det är även en lönsamhetsfråga samt en mänsklig rättighet och därför vill de ändra den rådande normen. Detta försöker de göra internt bland annat genom en kompetensbaserad rekrytering, en mångfaldsplan och genom att lita på att alla försöker arbeta med det inom sitt eget företag. Samt genom att försöka påverka andra företag med extern bolagsstyrning. Detta kan också vara svårt att göra enligt genus- och den institutionella teorin, då det finns rådande institutionella normer i samhället som verkar emot. Normerna kan även visa sig i den svenska kulturen som kan förklaras genom Hofstedes kulturdimensionsteori.
The purpose of this study is to examine how those responsible for gender equality at Folksam work with gender equality. It also aims to examine the norms and cultures that can affect their work on gender equality. This is examined by four semi structured interviews with two people who are working internally to get Folksam more equal and with two people that are working externally at Folksam to get other companies, both in Sweden and abroad, to become more equal. The conclusion is that norms from for example politics affect the respondents at Folksam, since the politics requires them to be equal, but also because their customers want it. It is also a profitability question as well as a human right and therefore they want to change the current norm. They are trying to do that internally through, for instance, a competency-based recruitment, a diversity plan and by trusting that everyone is trying to work with it within Folksam. And by trying to influence other corporations through external corporate governance. This may also be difficult to do according to gender- and the new institutionalism theory, because of the existing institutional norms in society that is working against it. Norms can also be shown in the Swedish culture, which can be explained with the Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions Theory.

Abstract:
Den här uppsatsen har för avsikt att undersöka om de informanter som deltagit anser att Afghanistan är jämställt. Uppsatsen har också som syfte att se hur informanternas individuella trosuppfattning påverkar synen på jämställdhet och deras följande av pashtunwali. Samt om informanterna anser att islam eller pashtunwali förespråkar eller förhindrar jämställdhet. Informanterna befinner sig alla i Afghanistan och har svarat på frågor via Google forms i form av postala intervjuer. Metoden som använts i denna uppsats är kvalitativa analyser. För att analysera svaren har jag använt mig av Hirdmans genussystem och Connells teori om maskulinitet.   Resultaten visar tydliga svar på att informanterna inte betraktar Afghanistan som jämställt. Detta visar sig bland annat i att män värderas högre och män erhåller många fler valmöjligheter än kvinnor. Kvinnor begränsas ständigt av regler uppsatta av män. Informanterna anser att islam förespråkar jämställdhet men pashtunwali är ett starkt hinder på vägen mot ett jämställt samhälle.
This paper aims to investigate whether the informants who participated believe that Afghanistan is equal. This paper also intends to see how the informants' individual beliefs affect the view of gender equality and their following of pashtunwali. And if they believe that Islam or Pashtunwali promotes or is an obstacle against equality. The informants are all located in Afghanistan and have answered questions via Google forms in the form of postal interviews. The method used for this paper is qualitative analyzes. To analyze the answers, I have used Hirdman's gender system and Connell's theory of masculinity.       The results show clear reactions that the informants do not consider Afghanistan to be equal. This is shown for instance by the fact that men are valued higher and men are given many more choices than women. Women are constantly limited by rules set by men. The informants believe that Islam advocates for equality, but pashtunwali is a strong obstacle on the road to an equal society.

Abstract:
Although the incidence of breast cancer is almost the same for middle-aged African American and Caucasian women, the rate of patients' following breast cancer screening and following up recommendations differs. African American women are less likely to follow recommendations and have higher mortality rates when compared to Caucasian women. One factor thought to affect compliance with breast cancer screening and follow up is culturally sensitive communication. This purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to determine if the culturally sensitive communication of a medical center influenced compliance with breast cancer screening and follow up and if compliance has an effect on the stage of breast cancer when diagnosed for African American women between the ages of 50 and 74. The research questions were aligned with the theoretical pathways of the Patient-Centered Culturally Sensitive Healthcare Model. This quantitative cross-sectional study was based on secondary data of African American women aged 50-74 from electronic systems for each Southern California location of a national health maintenance organization between the years 2012-2016. The results of the regression analysis from averages of the scores from the Member Appraisal of Physician/Provider Services questionnaire, determined associations between the cultural sensitivity scores of the African American woman's medical center and their compliance with recommendations for breast cancer screening and follow up after screening. However, no association between the stage of cancer and medical center's cultural sensitivity was found. Results can be used to develop cultural sensitivity interventions at medical centers aimed to enhance African American women's compliance with breast cancer screening and follow-up recommendations.

Abstract:
Child traumatic stress is a pervasive problem that affects the well-being and healthy development of children from all races, ethnicities, and cultures. Major factors known to affect trauma symptoms include type of trauma, level or severity of trauma exposure, and age and gender of children. Utilizing Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model, this study measured the additional influence of children’s race, ethnicity, and cultural factors on symptoms after trauma. A dataset of children in treatment after experiencing trauma (0-21 years, N = 10,115) from The National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN), a federally funded initiative that collected longitudinal data across 56 research and treatment centers in the US, was examined, looking at clinical symptoms at baseline and at three month (or first recorded) follow-up. Predictors for symptoms included number of trauma types, age, gender, race, ethnicity (Latino/non-Latino), and three cultural markers, born outside the United States, English as the primary language not spoken at home, and refugee/immigrant status. Results (hierarchical regressions, logistic regressions) confirmed that age, gender, and number of trauma types predict the scores and clinical level of eight validated outcomes (e.g., CBCL externalizing, internalizing; PTSD measures) as well as the total numbers of functional problems and clinical problems. Results also demonstrated that race, ethnicity, and culture affect symptoms but to a very small extent (i.e., these accounted for little variance) and in varying directions. For example, Black/African American children had lower internalizing scores compared to White/Caucasian children, while being Latino was associated with lower externalizing and higher internalizing scores than non-Latinos. Children with differing cultures sometimes scored better, sometimes worse, than their counterparts. For example, children who spoke English at home and were born in the United States had more functional problems, though fewer clinical problems. At three month (or first recorded) follow up, results demonstrated all children’s scores improving. No differences at three month (or first recorded follow up) were found between our predictors in clinical rates except for children with more types of trauma who continued to show a greater likelihood of falling into the clinical range for externalizing and internalizing. Discussion focuses on the possible protective effects of cultural factors and the importance of an ecological model in understanding trauma symptoms in diverse populations.

AbstractThe study of culture in media or mediated culture—referred to here as the study of cultural coverage—often makes use of content analysis to build up a more systematized knowledge of possibly evolving patterns that can only be observed by gathering certain amounts of data over a certain period of time. Typically, content analysis is employed to trace the anatomy of the mediated culture, either as hierarchies of artistic forms or of as a representation of a specific cultural phenomenon. Content analysis is also applied to identify the mechanisms of mediation and follow their evolution over time, i.e., cultural change.

Abstract:
AbstractThe introduction to the edited volume outlines the topics covered by the essays that follow and places them within historical and academic contexts. Turning for examples to several literary and non-literary texts, most notably the 1820s diaries of Edward Beck and Richard Henry Dana, Jr.’s Two Years Before the Mast (1840), it considers the differences and the continuities that prevail in shipboard environments across time, while also discussing the ways in which the human experience of time itself is complicated by seafaring. Particular attention is paid to the role of literary practices in shaping the experience of seafaring—to how such practices construct and reshape shipboard hierarchies, and also to how they help seafarers come to terms with the shipboard environment and with the ocean itself. While thus shaping shipboard cultures, the introduction argues, literary practices are also themselves affected—or ‘stained’—by the ocean environment.

Abstract:
AbstractAlthough there is no necessary relation between “big data” and “monism”—the program of reducing cultural and mental processes to computational and biological principles—both these programs reject a dualism between res extensa and res cogitans. Opposing this philosophy of science, I have argued in the above chapter that a second contingency of possible relations and expectations feeds back on the manifest relations. This second contingency cannot be studied from a natural-science or life-sciences perspective, but is the proper domain of the social sciences, where the focus is on what things mean as different from what they are. Next-order selection mechanisms can take evolutionary control. The complexity of the communication evolves against the arrow of time in terms of interacting codes, which generate redundancies and therefore new options. As human beings, we can follow the potentially unintended consequences of the communication dynamics reflexively. Both consciousness and communication are self-organizing and thus resilient against steering.

Abstract:
Las ciudades turísticas intentan recrear los imaginarios internacionales sobre culturas determinadas, adaptándose a las expectativas que se tengan sobre el sitio a visitar. Los imaginarios son la realidad social construida desde los ciudadanos. A través de ellos las personas aprehendemos y explicamos las percepciones que nos formamos sobre los otros, los eventos y relaciones, así como sobre las obras y objetos. En las ciudades del turismo emergentes, la construcción de los equipamientos turísticos, tanto públicos, como privados, hace tabula rasa de la ciudad preexistente, dejando de lado las experiencias culturales locales, para preparar un escenario óptimo, que haga atractivo el sitio al público extranjero. En ese sentido los referentes culturales de lo mexicano, plasmados en la arquitectura, retoman elementos de distintas regiones y momentos históricos, acordes al imaginario internacional. Esos lenguajes arquitectónicos funcionan como referencia de autenticidad del espacio consumido, validando la experiencia turística. El objetivo de este trabajo es dar luz sobre el origen de las formas arquitectónicas –la morfogénesis- de una ciudad turística emergente. Es decir, observaremos los lenguajes urbanos y arquitectónicos, y la relación que los diseños exhibidos guardan hacia el imaginario internacional de la cultura mexicana. Para ello, utilizaremos como instrumentos los recorridos que los turistas hacen para acceder a los desarrollos turísticos, las imágenes expuestas en lugares específicos, así como el análisis del relato emitido por el turista en relación a la experiencia vivida. Nuestros medios de acceso serán las imágenes reales (tomadas in situ por las autoras) y aquellas recogidas de los sitios web de las cadenas hoteleras y de las bitácoras personales (blogs) de turistas disponibles en Internet. Con estos instrumentos pretendemos asociar los lenguajes plásticos del sitio con aquellos provenientes de imaginarios internacionales sobre la cultura mexicana, más allá de los de la realidad del sitio analizado. Retomamos a manera de ejemplo dos puntos de vista: el del promotor inmobiliario y del turista. El caso de estudio es Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, ciudad que ha sufrido una fuerte conversión a las actividades turísticas en los últimos diez años y cuyo auge inmobiliario, representa un caso emblemático del turismo en el noroeste mexicano. Adelantándonos a manera de breve conclusión, podemos señalar que las imágenes montadas en el armado y diseño del puerto anterior cumplen la paradójica función asentarse en la memoria del viajero (crear una ciudad memorable y singular), a la vez que autentifican la experiencia turística, es decir, son imágenes congruentes con el imaginario que el turista se ha formado aún antes de iniciar su recorrido, ya sea a través de los relatos de otros viajeros o del discurso del promotor inmobiliario. Ambos disponibles con la facilidad de un clic. Por otro lado, los referentes buscados por los promotores turísticos, están ligados, mediante la arquitectura y el urbanismo a la antigua arquitectura mexicana, de las culturas prehispánicas, las haciendas rurales y la arquitectura colonial, que poco o nada tienen que, ver con las actualidad de las ciudades mexicanas y mucho menos con el entorno regional de Puerto Peñasco. Sin embargo, ese tratamiento permite la creación de un ambiente "ideal" para el acercamiento a la cultura mexicana que los turistas esperan. Al contrastar los puntos de vista de un viajero y de un promotor inmobiliario de esta localidad portuaria, daremos cuenta de la ciudad deseada y de la ciudad ficción, acercándonos de esta manera a la "ciudad real", que bien pareciera la copia de las dos anteriores. The tourist cities intend to recreate the international imaginaries about certain cultures, adapting to the given expectations of the visiting place. The imaginaries are the social reality built by the citizens. Through them, people seize and explain their perceptions on others, on events and relationships, and as well as on objects. In the emerging cities of tourism, the building up of equipment, public as well as private, ignores the preexisting city. Cultural local experiences are left aside to prepare an optimal scenario that would make the place attractive for the foreign visitors. In this sense, the cultural references for “the Mexican” are captured trough architecture. They take elements from different regions and different historical momentums, according to the international imaginary. These architectural languages works as an authenticity reference for space, validating the tourist experience. The objective of this paper is to throw light on the origin of architectural forms –the morphogenesis- in an emerging tourist city. We will look at the urban and architectural languages, as well as the connexion that the exhibit designs keep towards the Mexican culture international imaginary. In order to do so, we will take advantage of the itineraries the tourists follow to get to the tourist developments, of the images exposed in specific places, and of the tourists account of their experiences. Our means of access will be the real images (taken by the author of this paper) and those collected in web sites of hotel chains and personal tourist journals (blogs). With these instruments we intend to associate the place plastic languages with those derived from international imaginaries on the Mexican culture. As an example we take into account to points of view: the real estate promoter’s and the tourist’s. The case of study is Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, a city that has suffered a tough switch to the tourist activities within the last ten years, and of which its real-estate growth represents an emblematic case in the Mexican northwest. Bringing forward a brief conclusion, it can be pointed out that the array of images and the port design achieve the paradoxical function settle themselves on the traveller’s memory (creating a memorable and singular city), and at the same time they authenticate the tourist experience. In other words, these images are consistent with the imaginary that the tourists have formed even before they began their tour. This recreation of the images is accessible through the stories of other travellers or trough the speech of realestate promoters (realties), both of which available with a single “clic”.On other side, the references seek by the tourist realties are attached to the antique Mexican architecture: the pre-Hispanic cultures, the haciendas and the colonial period, that have very few or nothing to do with the regional environment of Puerto Peñasco. However, that array allows the creation of an "ideal" environment, expected by the tourist to approach to the Mexican culture. Finally, contrasting the point of view of a traveller and a real-estate promoter, we will expose the desired city and the fictional city. In this way, we will approach to the "real city", which now seems the copy of the other two.

Abstract:
What were the chances of a poor provincial in the apocalyptic Bucharest of war and the first Stalinist years? Assuming that he would not have died in the war, and by some miracle, the young man would have had the chance to connect to the culture of the moment. Let′s follow the young writer Constantin Țoiu with an invisible camera, and let′s watch his destiny with the door ajar, while entering the atmosphere of utopian freedom of the first communist years. With degrees in philology and philosophy, he wants more than melting into the underground cultural world of Bucharest, which has gone through war and, recently, totalitarianism. The last utopia – that of freedom – was more attractive than anything.

Abstract:
In the third volume (卷, juan) of an 18th-century woodblock publication Images of Tributaries of the Ruling Qing Dynasty (Huang Qing zhi gong tu, 皇清职贡图), among others non-Han ethnic groups, there are thirteen illustrations of Taiwan’s indigenous peoples, including a brief description of their costumes, disposition, and customs. This volume contains illustrations of various types of Taiwanese “barbaric” natives that reveal a great deal about Qing imaginative conception of savagery. They are classified both by administrative divisions and by categories of civilized (熟番) and uncivilized (生番) depending on their adoption of Chinese culture. The entries begin with the civilized savages of Taiwan county, then south to Fengshan county, and then north to Zhuluo county, Zhanghua county, and finally Danshui sub prefecture. The submitted uncivilized savages follow again in sequence from south to north. Last are the uncivilized savages of the inner mountains. The illustrations thus proceed from the most civilized one through increasing degrees of savagery. In each of the thirteen pictures, the differences between the savage figures and civilized figures are emphasized. The depictions of the physical appearances of the civilized and uncivilized savages can demonstrate their relative levels of civilization. The Qing Dynasty’s ethnographical description, which recorded the social culture of the historical tribes, now became particularly valuable because of the lack of a great amount of information on the indigenous tribes of Taiwan. It is quite necessary to study the society, traditions and cultural features of Taiwanese indigenous people in different periods, especially after their integration into the Qing Empire. Huang Qing zhi gong tu is regarded as a very important source for a detailed investigation of different ethnical types of peoples who inhabited the island of Taiwan. We have to analyze the history of aboriginal culture alongside Chinese culture to gain a more rounded insight into the culture and history of Taiwan.

Abstract:
Fashion, as a simultaneously cultural and global phenomenon, has become an attractive factor in many cities, particularly the large metropolises where it assumes a prominent role, as in Paris, London, Milan, or New York. In countries where fashion does not assume notoriety and global prestige, there is an emergence of fashion movements more associated with local cultural characteristics, which are used by fashion designers as sources of inspiration and differentiation.In major cities, world-renowned designers and brands take on recognized importance, and the attractiveness that fashion districts have on visitors is notorious. In smaller cities, however, generally associated with cultural and artistic heritage, fashion appears in some places as a specific offer, marked by originality and differentiation of historical roots or inspired by local culture. The interest in fashion, in general, leads the management of territories to associate the local dynamics of fashion creation with shopping tourism, creating specific itineraries and infrastructures, in an attempt to follow the example of the big cities and, thus, develop the fashion business by increasing the reasons of interest to visitors.The study aims to analyse the dynamics of development of the fashion business in medium-sized cities with strong tourist attractiveness, to design a territory management model that maximizes the notoriety of local fashion, and stimulates economic activities directly and indirectly related to fashion.

The contribution aims at corroborating location-based mobile games as models for the integration of digital technologies in the educational field. They demonstrated to be valid alternatives to formal education in the applied research project: Play Design!, which addressed to high school students, interested in design-related matters, and intends to valorise the Italian design culture, transforming Milan into the stage of a double-sided story. Design is here highlighted both as a cultural heritage and a discipline, inducing the development of two different games sharing a common didactic aim: D.Hunt and D.Learn. The first one is a mobile treasure hunt illustrating the excellences of the creative production of the country, and the renowned protagonists and places of Italy- and Milan-based design: a cultural background to be preserved and valorised. The second one, instead, is a role-play, cooperative and competitive game which depicts the city as a hub for schools and universities, where design is considered a subject for didactic courses, a combination of theories and practices to be transmitted and implemented. Then, the two mobile, location-based serious games exploit this copious and multifaceted material for evident learning purposes, joining the examples of informal education to increasingly follow in future technology developments.

Abstract:
Along with the tremendous rise of Cambodia's construction sector, Cambodians, particularly those living in cities and rural tourism destinations today, embrace the rising influx of new architectural styles. This aspect has an impact on the value of Khmer architectural and urban aesthetics. Furthermore, the construction of buildings in rural tourist destinations in Cambodia has been considerably influenced by modern architectural features, such as the development of hotels, guesthouses, and resorts. This article's research on the construction of buildings in rural tourism resorts in the Kingdom of Cambodia reveals that the majority of these architectural structures are not motivated to incorporate or showcase Khmer architectural styles. Instead, it emphasizes modern and blended foreign styles that lead to a loss of national identity. Those resorts, on the other hand, do not follow the ideals of sustainable development, causing environmental damage and building structures that are unsuitable for Cambodia's tropical environment.Recognizing that tourism and architecture are inextricably linked and play a significant role in fostering Khmer identity through architectural inspiration in rural tourism as well as tourism promotion. Through field research and literature review, the tourism market in Cambodia will be strengthened as a result of the quick development and continual improvement of the country's tourism industry, while also promoting the effective growth and development of the national economy and allowing other aspects of the country to advance and develop. According to the Ministry of Tourism of the Kingdom of Cambodia's study, "The Planning of Tourism Development 2012 to 2020," which focused particularly on Cambodia's cultural and natural tourism resources. Furthermore, in terms of the Cambodian people's living choices, in recent years, individuals have been engaged in many types of commercial operations, particularly tourism activities, with a good momentum of development. Simultaneously with the continued development and promotion of tourist resorts and hotels, such as those in the Kingdom's sea areas, mountains, and rural regions, other cultural regions will be developed as tourism attractions.Currently, the number of tourists in Cambodia is significantly decreased due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, with an enthusiastic attitude, the Cambodian government aims to promote the development of local tour destinations for each district through creative tourism services in rural areas with the involvement of various partners including private sectors, foreign investors, and from all levels of the government institutions. Andung Tek commune in the Botum Sakor district is facing various problems such as deforestation and overdevelopment that have become more and more harmful to the environment and local people. The paper seeks to address these problems and come up with potential solutions to solve the problems. Additionally, to answer the problems, the project in this article also established long-term planning methods such as disaster prevention, human resource development, and promoting attractive advantage tourism. As a result, uses a housing model with a unique Khmer housing architectural style include interaction design objectives, and home structure and landscape design to promote sustainable development in the areas and to transform the area into an attractive tourist destination for both locals and foreigners.

Abstract:
Abstract The proposed paper has the main objective of exploring the impact of a designed organizational culture on the engagement of employees within their firms or institutions. The experience will focus on three aspects: engagement, experience, and designed culture which are all aimed at connecting with the employees better in order to motivate and keep them engaged as they perform their duties and responsibilities. The proposed paper plans to follow a qualitative research study, following an action research where the researcher will apply the conceptual framework and examine its impact and effectiveness on the overall employee engagement. Qualitative research was chosen to explore the experiences of the study participants or the leaders, managers, and employees of oil and gas firms on how a designed culture could positively or negatively impact the experience and engagement of the employees as stakeholders. An action research approach under qualitative research was chosen as Burns (2015) defined it a one that focuses on collaboration, discourse, and action among participants within a system. The results of the qualitative action research led to the development of a conceptual framework focused on three specific areas: designed culture, experience, and engagement. These three areas are considered as the key organisational aspects that must be given attention to in order to create a positive impact on the experiences and engagement of the oil and gas firms or institutions’ employees or stakeholders. Under a designed organisational culture, the management gives significance to three factors and actors including: organisational functions (25%), senior leadership (25%), and line managers (50%). With the designed organisational culture, the organisational functions give value to open communication and feedback between the management, leaders, and employees. This type of organisational culture works to interact and engage with the employees by constantly communicating with and listening to their needs. As for senior leadership, they are tasked to make crucial policy decisions, set their firms’ strategies and goals, and shape the overall culture of their institution. The line managers have the biggest role in this framework, where they are tasked to perform "Thrive Sessions" or a designated time to connect with their team members. Based on the designed culture, employee experience and engagement may then be influenced accordingly.

Abstract:
The original objectives were: A. To determine the critical embryonic age for monochromatic green light stimulation. B. To follow the ontogeny of embryos exposed to monochromatic green light vs. darkness. C. To investigate the effects of monochromatic green light illumination on myoblast and fiber development in the embryo. D. To investigate the stimulatory effect of light combinations during embryo and post-hatch periods on growth and meat production. E. To evaluate the direct effect of monochromatic green light on cultured embryonic and adult myoblasts. The overall purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of monochromatic light stimuli during incubation period of broilers on muscle development and satellite cell myogenesis. Based on previous studies (Halevy et al., 1998; Rozenboim et al., 1999) that demonstrated the positive effects of green-light illumination on body and muscle growth, we hypothesized that monochromatic light illumination accelerates embryo and muscle development and subsequently enhances muscle growth and meat production. Thus, further decreases management costs. Under the cooperation of the laboratories at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and University of Washington we have conducted the following: 1. We have established the critical stage for exposure to green monochromatic light which has the maximal effect on body and muscle growth (Objective A). We report that embryonic day 5 is optimal for starting illumination. The optimal regime of lighting that will eliminate possible heat effects was evaluated by monitoring egg core temperature at various illumination periods. We found that intermitted lighting (15 min. on; 15 min. off) is optimal to avoid heat effects. 2. We have evaluated in detail gross changes in embryo development profile associated to green light stimuli vs. darkness. In addition, we have investigated the stimulatory effect of light combinations during embryo and post-hatch periods on body and muscle growth (Objective B,D). 3. We have studied the expression profile of muscle regulatory proteins during chicken muscle cell differentiation in cultures using newly developed antibodies. This study paved the way for analyzing the expression of these proteins in our photo stimulation experiments (Objective C). 4. We have studied the pattern ofPax7 expression during myogenesis in the posthatch chicken. Experimental chick pectoralis muscles as well adult myoblast cultures were used in this study and the results led us to propose a novel model for satellite cell differentiation and renewal. 5. The effects of monochromatic green light illumination during embryogenesis have been studied. These studies focused on fetal myoblast and satellite cell proliferation and differentiation at pre- and posthatch periods and on the effects on the expression of muscle regulatory proteins which are involved in these processes. In addition, we have analyzed the effect of photo stimulation in the embryo on myofiber development at early posthatch (Objective C). 6. In follow the reviewers' comments we have not conducted Objective E. The information gathered from these studies is of utmost importance both, for understanding the molecular basis of muscle development in the posthatch chicks and for applied approach for future broiler management. Therefore, the information could be beneficial to agriculture in the short term on the one hand and to future studies on chick muscle development in the embryo and posthatch on the other hand.

Abstract:
Geologic Resources Inventory reports provide information and resources to help park managers make decisions for visitor safety, planning and protection of infrastructure, and preservation of natural and cultural resources. Information in GRI reports may also be useful for interpretation. This report synthesizes discussions from a scoping meeting held in 2009 and a follow-up conference call in 2020. Chapters of this report discuss the geologic heritage, geologic history, geologic features and processes, and geologic resource management issues of Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park. Guidance for resource management and information about the previously completed GRI GIS data and poster (separate products) is also provided.
