Abstract:

Scholarly studies of the Mexican revolutionary period seldom have approached the subject from the standpoint of how this momentous struggle was actually waged by its combatants. While considerable investigation has rendered valuable insights into leading personalities and movements of the time, no comparable effort has been made to unravel the myriad military complexities and paradoxes of one of the major wars waged on the North American continent.A case in point concerns the foreign soldiers who fought side by side with Mexican troops in the rebel armies. Such military personnel are commonly referred to in modern-day parlance as mercenaries, a term indicating “paid soldiers in the service of a foreign country.” However, not all foreigners who served in the Revolution were professional soldiers for hire, nor did all have previous military experience. Such words and phrases as soldiers of fortune or adventurers, in vogue during the period, more clearly define the status of these combatants as “men fighting for pay or love of adventure under the flag of any country.” Be that as it may, all of the terms given above are basically synonymous and can be used interchangeably to refer to the foreign volunteers who joined the various armed factions contending for supremacy in Mexico.

Abstract:

In the past two decades, adventure tourism enjoyed great popularity in China with rapid growth of participants. Parallel to this is an increasing number of research publications on Chinese adventure tourism, which cover similar topics to that of Western adventure tourism literature but are largely based on a Chinese perspective. In order to bridge the Western and Chinese academic literature on adventure tourism, a text-driven review approach is utilized to analyze both sources of literature to identify their similarities and differences. The results reveal that while Chinese adventure tourism scholars seek knowledge from the Western world, Chinese adventure tourism has its own dynamics, which include their organization models and Chinese tourists’ aesthetic way of approaching adventure tourism experiences. By developing deeper knowledge on how adventure tourism operates in China, alternative interpretations that Chinese tourists offer, and the divergence of views in adventure tourism, the study reflects the need for a grounded approach, which will help penetrate the invisible academic wall.

Abstract:

There has been a significant growth in adventure tourism globally in recent years including Turkey. Fethiye is a good example of this trend as the resort has great potential for adventure tourism. Adventure tourism helps holiday destinations to attract sustainable tourism management in comparison with the traditional sea, sun and sand form of tourism. The specific aim of this study is to reveal the benefits of adventure tourism for the adventure traveller and for the providing organization too. Questionnaire technique was used to gather data. The questionnaire was directed and employed towards the service providers. Data was collated between May and October 2014 and 161 questionnaires were completed via face to face survey methodology. Adventure travel/ traveller benefits were ascertained from enquiries appertaining to: experience, activity, environment and other miscellaneous factors. Findings of the survey identified that the greatest benefits of adventure tourism for the providing organisations were 'self actualization' and 'supporting culture and environment' both of which, from statistical analysis, appeared to have a direct impact on increased business opportunity and growth market potential. As a result of this study, it is surmised that the provision of serving such destinations with adventure tourism should be of significant benefit to travellers and service providers alike.Keywords: Adventure tourism, benefits of adventure tourism, adventure-based leisure/recreation, service providers.

Abstract:

The existing body of knowledge in tourism reveals that the trekking trails have global appeal and vast potentials to be established and developed as adventure tourism products cum destinations in world mountain regions. The adventure tourism is as one of the fastest growing sub-sectors of tourism. Today the world’s trail systems play a significant role in adventure tourism for its rapid growth. Such a trend inevitably necessitates a clear guideline (the formulation and application of sustainable trail management approach) not only for establishing trails heritage as safe, quality accredited (audited) and branded products but also for meeting trail development and maintenance international standards and best practices. Through the review of the literatures on trails and trails management for adventure tourism, participation in the Trail Standards Guidelines (TSG) formulation process for the Great Himalaya Trails (GHT) of Nepal and assessment of Nepal’s trail sites as GHT certified trail auditor by the author; this paper argues that sustainable trail management is trail destination specific innovative approach. It should be understood and applied through the interaction of local practices with global knowledge and best practices. There is pressing need of clear guidelines at trail destinations. Such guidelines can be easy reference for shared engagements and benefits of trail communities and enlightening experience of trails users. The discussion concludes with the case study of GHT as an emerging brand for adventure tourism identity of Nepal. GHT strives for sustained and beneficial tourism management system through effective implementation of the TSG by the means of integrated approach.

Abstract:

We analyze the history of creation, structure and psychological foundations of adventure playgrounds, which appeared and became widespread in Europe during the second half of the XX century. Adventure playground is an example of realization of children’s rights enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, especially in Article 31. Adventure playgrounds are designed by experts, parents, teachers, sharing the ideas of civil society and seeking new ways to support the initiative, independence of children and adolescents. At an adventure playground, modern urban children and adolescents have the opportunity to realize their intentions, and try to explore their capabilities in a joint productive activity with peers. In this article, adventure playgrounds are considered as one of the ways to facilitate public urban space to play and socialize. Adventure playground serves as a social-psychological-pedagogical center and has great potential for all age groups. We provide specific examples of the structure and activity on adventure playgrounds existing in the UK and Germany. Separately we discuss the contribution of professionals working at these sites (playworker).

Abstract:

Educational games display great potential as an active form of knowledge transfer. This research field is young, but some patterns in educational game development can be recognized. In this paper, the authors present a new approach to educational game development that overcomes some downsides of more traditional systems. The paper provides the opportunity to create an educational adventure game by using specialized software tool as well as integrating knowledge in that specific game instance. As a result of that process, game definition is created as a form of XML document. On the other side, a web-based interpreter is used to present the adventure game to user in runtime. XML format provides us with platform independency. By use of this tool, the educator gains the ability to create an educational game without programming knowledge, and to reuse some previously created knowledge.

This literary big push includes novels, graphic novels, histories, biographies, memoirs and diaries written for specialists and the general public. An early publication to pop over the parapet, this collection offers a diverse set of articles that highlight some not so well-known aspects of New Zealand’s involvement on the Western Front during the 1914-18 war. The varied articles in The Great Adventure Ends reflect both the book’s origins in a conference and the variety of ways in which World War I is written about.

Abstract:

Fredric Jameson’s latest book, Allegory and Ideology (2019), returns to the provocative proposition that he floated in The Political Unconscious: Narrative as a Socially Symbolic Act (1981): that humankind’s cultural past is only available to us today if we believe that “the human adventure is one”—a series of efforts to wrest a realm of freedom from the realm of necessity. This essay examines the new book for evidence of possible fluctuations in Jameson’s commitment to a “single great collective story,” underlining in particular the subversiveness of the adjective “great” but also his re-affirmation of a particular Jamesonian version of constructivism, the Marxist spin he puts on loose and generalized notions of “X is a construct” and “everything is narrative.” Jameson’s loyalty to the concept of “ideology” is read here as another moment in his long-lasting dialogue with the late Hayden White. And his loyalty to the concept of “allegory” is read as dialectical in an especially courageous sense: a willingness to concede that the ability to affirm a “single great collective story” depends both on allegory, which works by a respectful but not reverential attention to cultural differences, and on the model of imperial power, which provides Jameson with his 1981 model of four-fold interpretation.

Abstract:

By the end of the 1930s, Frederick Gowland Hopkins had built his Cambridge laboratory into the pre-eminent institute of biochemistry that was a magnet for scientists from all over the world. Even so, it was an exceptional event that saw a young Chinese student leave a homeland at that time relatively isolated from the West and embark on a research career in his department. Within 2 years, she had published a highly influential set of papers on metabolism in the Biochemical Journal, a field that some 70 years on has once again become a major focus as its role in cancer is dissected. From the outset, however, she had come under the spell of the legendary polymath Joseph Needham to whom she would dedicate the rest of her life in a partnership that would unveil the astounding history of Chinese science to the world.

Abstract:

Abstract This article addresses access to high-quality education under a neoliberal mentality. It engages at both the discursive and material levels, by mapping how taken-for-granted truths about neoliberal policies circulate through the media. The media—newspapers, network channels, and news websites—have correlated quality education with socioeconomic status, which have effects of power in the fabrication of the productive citizen and low-performer, and in the perpetuation of the “class/room”. The unexpected deceitfulness of numbers operates as a rhizomatic regime of truths, conducting our ways of being and acting in the world. This analysis takes numbers as an actor to challenge the apparent representative and descriptive nature of standardized assessment outcomes, and the idea that competition, freedom of choice, and accountability are a means of securing equity, inclusion, and economic growth. The novels of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, particularly those featuring the fictional character Sherlock Holmes, and the Sherlock Holmes adaptations portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch in the TV series “Sherlock” have inspired the narrative of this story. Sherlock’s mind palace—a feature added to Holmes’ personality in the TV series—is put to great use in the narrative of this article.

Abstract:

The concept of micro-nations is not new, but until now little research has been conducted into how Governments have responded to the challenges they present. Such nations are invariably self-declared, often with tiny populations and no visible means of sustaining themselves, and usually to be found on remote islands. The Principality of Sealand, the name bestowed on Roughs Tower, an abandoned British military fort in the North Sea, by its 1960s occupiers, the Bates family, is perhaps the best known example of a micro-nation. The sheer longevity of their claim, which they have been putting forward for over forty years, makes it unique, and therefore worthy of analysis. This article draws together a narrative study of how Whitehall dealt with the Sealand challenge and how different departments of state viewed it in starkly contrasting ways, with a rigorous analysis of the Bates' claim from a legal perspective, setting it against the context of international law as defined by the UN, the EU and individual nations, with an emphasis on marine law and state recognition. The study concludes that the British Government could have done more to close Sealand down and that valuable lessons on inter-departmental co-ordination can still be drawn from this case study today.

Abstract:

Aim. The article analyses the means of using a new method of storytelling with elements of the poetics of behaviourism, which deeply showed the consequences and impact of the First World War on the lives of civilians in the sphere of hostilities. The heroes of the novel are little children who were running away from the soldiers and found themselves in the dark woods near a fatally wounded mother. The hero of the novel Vasilko, a boy of six or eight years, must fulfil the prayer of a dying mother and save his sister Nastya, who is very young and cannot even speak. The novelty of the author of the novel does not describe Vasylko’s inner emotions, but using the poetics of behaviourism, shows only the actions of the boy and his behaviour in these circumstances. The novel is devoid of emotional expressions, conveys the boy’s behaviour, his actions caused by external pathogens. The author with great force conveys his attitude to the war and its inhumane nature.

Abstract:

Blakeslee (1987) has suggested that the Mound Builder myth in part can be traced to John Rowzée Peyton, who reportedly crossed the Great Plains in 1774 and probed a mound, attributing it to a past, non-Indian civilization. However, critical examination of the account, first published in 1867, indicates that John Rowzée Peyton’s adventure actually was invented by his grandson, John Lewis Peyton.
