Full textAbstract:
In March 1997, an outbreak of Vero cytotoxin-producing Escherichi coli O157 (VTEC) infection occurred amongst holidaymakers returning from Fuerteventura, Canary Islands. For the investigation, a confirmed case was an individual staying in Fuerteventura during March 1997, with either E. coli O157 VTEC isolated in stool, HUS or serological evidence of recent infection; a probable case was an individual with bloody diarrhoea without laboratory confirmation. Local and Europe-wide active case finding was undertaken through national centres, Salm-Net and the European Programme of Intervention Epidemiology, followed by a case-control study.Fourteen confirmed and one probable case were identified from England (7), Finland (5), Wales (1), Sweden (1) and Denmark (1) staying in four hotels. Three of the four hotels were supplied with water from a private well which appeared to be the probable vehicle of transmission. The case-control study showed illness was associated with consumption of raw vegetables (OR 8·4, 95% CI 1·5–48·2) which may have been washed in well water. This investigation shows the importance of international collaboration in the detection and investigation of clusters of enteric infection.

Purpose The purpose of this study is ascertain if the hotel concierge service will continue to be relevant in a technological world where consumers have increasing access to information about their destination. To trace the origins of the hotel concierge, their route into the profession and establish whether the profession is geographically localised. Their role within the hotel, working philosophy, core values and characteristics were considered in relation to creating and delivering an experiential service encounter. Design/methodology/approach Eleven participants were selected who worked on the concierge desk in four- and five-star hotels in Edinburgh. All were male, aged between 20 and 64 years old; nine were Scottish, six of whom were from Edinburgh, one from Wales and one from England. Six respondents were members of The Golden Keys Society. A qualitative approach was adopted with semi-structured interviews designed around key themes identified in the literature review. Findings No feelings of servility or inferiority were documented in the host/guest relationship. Comparisons were made between the contextual setting and the appearance and manner of the respondents with that of a “performance”. The uniform was deemed to facilitate feelings of empowerment analogous to having superpowers. Technology has been adopted by the concierge department as a tool, but is considered to be ancillary to their personal recommendation and network of business and personal contacts and collaborators. Research limitations/implications Changes in the demographics of people travelling and discounted rates being offered in four- and five-star hotels has resulted in general perceptions of a less elite clientele. This may have implications for the future of concierge services. Practical implications The internet seems to have opened up this profession to enable concierges to effectively operate in a location they are not indigenous to. The personal recommendations that the concierge provides through their own knowledge are used in conjunction with technology, but are not in imminent danger of being replaced by it. It may prove beneficial for the hotel to provide some training for older members of staff to keep up with technological developments. This study could prove useful to service providers who aim to gain competitive advantage by elevating their level of guest service to exceed guest expectations through emulating the personalised service that the concierge can offer. Social implications The socio-cultural issues within this study are important. Internet technology is generally perceived to be the panacea of all contemporary communication ills in the twenty-first century. The authors however propose that the concierge is the last bastion of front-line service personnel who are still approached for their individual, sometimes unique, knowledge that cannot be found online. Originality/value This study contributes to an area of interest that lacks contemporary research due to the natural gatekeeping that occurs within this “closed” environment.

Despite structured enforcement of food hygiene requirements known to prevent foodborne disease outbreaks, catering businesses continue to be the most common setting for outbreaks in the United Kingdom. In a matched case control study of catering businesses, 148 businesses associated with outbreaks were compared with 148 control businesses. Hazard analysis critical control point systems and/or formal food hygiene training qualifications were not protective. Food hygiene inspection scores were not useful in predicting which catering businesses were associated with outbreaks. Businesses associated with outbreaks were more likely to be larger small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or to serve Chinese cuisine and less likely to have the owner or manager working in the kitchen, but when size of the SME was taken into account these two differences were no longer significant. In larger businesses, case businesses were more likely to be hotels and were more commonly associated with viral foodborne outbreaks, but there was no explanation within the data for this association.

ABSTRACT
The development of the tourism industry in Indonesia needs to be supported by appropriate facilities and infrastructure. Hotel as one of the supporting tourism in Indonesia has to be properly expanded. According to the data from Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), the occupancy rate of star-rated hotels continues to increase over time. One of the factors affecting the customer's decision in choosing a hotel is its interior design. Interior elements consist of floor, wall, ceiling, and furniture. The wall element is one of the interior elements that are attractive to visitors. To find out the perception of hotel visitors, the author surveyed five three-star hotels in Jakarta. The five hotels are Maxone hotel in Matraman, Yellow Hotel in Harmoni, Lynt Hotel in Gambir, Park 5 Hotel and Swissbellinn both are located in Simatupang. The method used in this study is a mixed-method with a visual perception approach in the form of direct interviews and distributed questionnaires to 40 respondents. The results of the research show that several wall criteria of the hotel that are suitable for visitors among others are: bright wall colors and walls with soothing color schemes.
Keywords: Guest’s preferences, hotel rooms, visual perception, wall design

As the time passes by, people's lifestyles and tourism in Bali have developed rapidly. Business people have made ho-tels the main target in tourism because it means to providing services includes hotel, hostel or motel. Therefore this fa-cility is very important for developed of tourism in Bali. The ambience and concepts that are owned by the hotels, espe-cially in the rooms, are very influential to increase the number of tourists who wish to stay at the hotels, both from the in-terior design and atmosphere that is served and able to make tourists feel comfortable. Luxurious hotel is one of the hotels that has been loved by many people today and has developed throughout the hospitality industries, especially 5 stars standard hotels. Interior design with luxury concept has characteristics that can be seen from using materials of good quality and aesthetic value which are more than the value of its function. The application of this luxurious concept in the interior of hotel rooms such as several parts in the form of upper elements that use ceiling and hanging lamps and walls that use wooden partitions arranged vertically and use of materials with gold and neutral colors such as brown and white on most interior elements in the boutique hotel room. With the application of the luxurious concept, can create the ambience of the space become more elegant.

ObjectiveTo obtain insight into tobacco retailing by alcohol-licenced premises, in order to understand the financial importance of tobacco sales for such retailers.MethodData were collected by a telephone survey of 1042 clubs, hotels and packaged liquor outlets in New South Wales, Australia. The response rate was 86.1%. Qualitative and quantitative data were obtained. Logistic and linear regression were used to determine factors associated with the probability of selling and stopping selling and the importance of cigarette sales.ResultsMore than a third (36.4%) of premises contacted did not sell cigarettes. 147 (an estimated 18.1% of those who had ever sold) had stopped selling. There were significant differences in the probability of selling, in the reported importance of cigarette sales and in the probability of stopping selling, between different outlet types and other outlet characteristics (number of gaming machines, proximity of nearest alternative tobacco retailer and remoteness). Outlets where alcohol can be consumed were more likely to rate cigarette sales as ‘not important’ than ‘important’.ConclusionsDespite claims by tobacco companies that tobacco sales are important for many Australian retailers, tobacco sales appear to be of limited importance for alcohol-licenced premises. This means that opposition to stopping tobacco sales where alcohol is consumed and/or sold may be less than expected.

Full textAbstract:
In the administration of the New South Wales Gaming Machines Act 2001, a small ‘industry’ developed around the preparation and appraisal of Social Impact Assessments (SIAs) required to accompany any application for additional Electronic Gaming Machines (EGMs) in clubs or hotels. The two-tiered structure permitted a simple process, known as Class 1, for small-increase applications. However the more complex Class 2 process required for larger applications was slow, costly and contentious. One of the key points of contention in this process was assessing the extent of problem gambling impacts that might be associated with a localised increase in EGMs, ordinarily expressed as an estimate of the increase in problem gamblers. As a consequence of this inefficient process, subsequent legislation sought to eliminate these contested aspects. This paper examines the available evidence on this policy approach and its effectiveness, focusing on the specific aspect of estimating incremental impacts arising from regulatory decisions, which serve to demonstrate the shortcomings of the system. The evidence presented extends to the application of a mathematical model developed for assessing outcomes in the SIA process. This model has some value as a tool in assessing regulatory outcomes in situations where marginal changes can alter externalised impacts.

Research for this project was undertaken by means of a broad and comprehensive literature search, a field study and the development of four working papers. It has been quoted,The hospitality industry appears to be facing increasing competitive pressures to improve the quality of its delivery of products and services. For many hotels, success depends largely on the availability of qualified line associates who are able to translate and consistently maintain their company's operational standards of service. Hotel companies, thus, must take training programs for front line associates seriously to accommodate the growing pressure to provide qualified associates. Consequently, many hotels now highlight training activities for front line associates as a means of providing an outstanding service for their customers. However, there is often scepticism about whether training actually pays off for organisations. Despite the importance of the topic, there appears to be little research on evaluating training for front line associates in the hospitality industry, particularly in the hotel sector. Therefore, this project is arguably pioneering in its analysis of applying the model chosen. It has demonstrated through empirical evidence the usefulness of the model to the four hotels in Sydney. This project has investigated evaluating training programs by analysing the reaction of the trainees, learning gained by the trainees, transfer of learning to the workplace by the trainees and training outcomes. The research is expected to be useful to other training practitioners and/or scholars who are interested in taking further research in the hospitality industry, particularly in the hotel sector.Doctor of Business Administration

Full textAbstract:
Risken för krig ökar om stater inte vidtar åtgärder mot hot från andra stater. Samtidigt finns en otydlighet i form av att forskare har kommit till delvis kontrasterande slutsatser om vad stater verkligen gör när de utsätts för militära hot. Två välkända teorier på området säger emot varandra. Stephen Walts teori säger att stater rustar militärt och ingår allianser för att stå emot hotande stater-de hotbalanserar. Randall Schwellers teori kontrasterar mot detta och säger att staters inrikes motstånd mot att satsa på sitt militära försvar många gånger leder till att de inte hotbalanserar på ett effektivt sätt- de underbalanserar. Båda teorierna har av efterföljande forskare kritiserats men även fått stöd. Denna studie använder tidigare forskning om de två teorierna för att pröva dem på ett sätt som tar hänsyn till kritiken i denna. Adam Liffs analysverktyg används därför att mäta åtgärder som vidtas i fallet Sverige mot det ryska militära hotet. Studiens visar att de prövade teorierna får stöd på olika sätt. Sverige hotbalanser genom att vidta åtgärder för att stå emot de Rysslands offensiva militära kapaciteter först efter att den ryska ledningens intentioner uppfattas som skadliga för Sveriges intressen. Underbalanseringsteorin får starkast stöd genom Sverige att inte ingår bindande försvarsöverenskommelser.

Full textAbstract:
Uma das principais componentes do serviço hoteleiro é o elemento humano devido à dependência do contato entre o trabalhador e os hóspedes. Assim, a satisfação com o trabalho torna-se imperativa para o sucesso das empresas. Contudo, o setor hoteleiro não é habitualmente reconhecido por proporcionar condições que visem a satisfação dos trabalhadores com o trabalho. Neste sentido, o equilíbrio entre a vida profissional e pessoal surge como uma das principais problemáticas desta indústria, associando-se ao conceito de «work-life balance» (WLB) pelas implicações que este equilíbrio tem na vida dos individuos.
Estudos anteriores propõem não só que sejam investigadas diferentes práticas organizacionais mas também medido o impacto das mesmas em contextos específicos, de modo a que seja possível criar um padrão organizacional ou sectorial. No setor hoteleiro, quer no contexto empresarial quer em termos académicos, este assunto está ainda nos primórdios da sua exploração, sendo importante apurar quais as estratégias que têm maior impacto no WLB. A pertinência do tema justifica-se pelo facto de não se conhecer nenhum estudo específico para a hotelaria em Portugal, e mesmo em termos internacionais persistirem algumas lacunas, muito devido aos poucos estudos existentes.
O presente trabalho tem como objetivo estudar a perceção dos trabalhadores relativamente à influência das práticas de gestão de recursos humanos da hotelaria em Portugal no equilíbrio das suas relações pessoais afetivas. A análise foi suportada em 87 questionários obtidos da população geral de trabalhadores hoteleiros e 30 questionários de um grupo hoteleiro reconhecido pelas medidas de gestão de recursos humanos implementadas.
Os resultados sugerem a importância das medidas de apoio ao WLB, o apoio dos superiores e, ainda a relevância das características específicas da hotelaria. Pode concluir-se que existe cada vez mais preocupação com esta temática e que os conflitos existentes entre as esferas da vida do indivíduo (pessoal e laboral) criam inúmeros impactos, nomeadamente no que concerne ao comprometimento e a produtividade dos trabalhadores.One of the main components of the hotel industry is the human element due to the importance of the contact between workers and guests. Thus, employee satisfaction becomes imperative for the success of these companies. However, the hotel industry isn’t usually seen as promoting job satisfaction. Therefore, the balance between professional and personal lives is one of the most controversial issues of this industry in what relates to the concept of «work-life Balance» (WLB) for its implications on the lives of employees. Previous studies suggest the need for further research not only on the different organizational practices that promote WLB but also to establish its impact in specific contexts to be possible to create an organizational or sectorial pattern. In the hotel industry, both in the business context and in the academic one, this matter is only at the beginning of its study, being important to establish the strategies which have the most impact in WLB. The relevance of this subject is justified by the fact that there isn´t any known specific study on WLB for the hotel industry in Portugal and, even internationally, many gaps still exist. The goal of this research is to study the perception of workers on how the human resources management practices of hotel companies in Portugal influence the balance in their affective personal relationships. This study supported in 87 questionnaires answered by hotel workers from diverse companies and 30 questionnaires from a hotel chain well-known for its advanced human resources management policies. Results suggest the importance of the policies and measures to support WLB, the support from managers and the relevance of the specific characteristics of the industry. One can conclude that there is an increasing concern with this issue and that the conflicts between the spheres of one´s life (personal and work areas) have many impacts, namely in terms of the commitment and productivity of employees.

This case shows how the New York Hotel Trades Council's (HTC) intervention in East Midtown formed part of a broader campaign to block hotel development in a sector that is increasingly fragmented by service format, and most worrisome, witnessing a rapid growth of hotels providing few services and competing on price, leading to a stronger employer opposition to unionization. The outcome of this case speaks unequivocally to organized labor's strength in New York City politics and to a growing recognition in real estate and policymaking circles of labor's importance in urban land use planning.

This chapter describes a campaign to raise the minimum wage for hotel workers in Long Beach, California, exploring the deft use of the social change matrix to address income inequality in a way that was adapted to local conditions. The Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy (LAANE) studied the tourism industry in Long Beach and highlighted both the role of tax breaks for this industry in the community as well as the low wages paid to workers in it. Teaming up with a local chapter of UNITE HERE Local 11—the union that represents workers in the hotel, food service, and gaming industries—LAANE began to advocate for higher wages for employees in hotels in Long Beach. The UNITE HERE–LAANE partnership did not do much in terms of social media to promote its message, although it had a Facebook page and used Twitter and other channels. Instead, it used the mails and, most important, the face-to-face, door-to-door canvassing to get its message out.

The third chapter is the first of the book’s study into different industries that specifically looks at job quality, including wages, benefits, and working conditions. It looks specifically at the ‘hospitality industry’, such as restaurants and hotels, which provide thousands of entry-level positions for the labour force of San Diego. Overall, it is characterized as a low-wage industry that is labour intensive and employs large numbers of low-income workers, immigrants, and people of color.

In Barra De Cazones, Veracruz, we ordered Modelos at an empty beachfront restaurant, La Palapa de Kime, on a muggy July afternoon. A handful of vacationers were scattered on the expansive, pebbled, brown sand beach. This was not the tropical paradise of Cabo San Lucas brochures—with expensive hotels and fine white sands—but the scarcity of tourists in this beautiful and serene Gulf Coast village was puzzling at first glance. The roads into town are good—pleasant, twisting runs through a remote and picturesque rainforest, in fact—and a couple of medium-sized cities and an airport are within an hours’ drive. We later learned that the electricity in town was sporadic and that the hotel accommodations were expensive but shoddy. And along the downtown strip, half-constructed buildings seemed frozen in their incompleteness, as if they were as ambivalent about the future as the inhabitants were. Roofless, these cinderblock buildings stood mute and abandoned alongside the central beachfront road, rusting rebar jutting out of the tops of their gray walls. In front of them, stacks of bricks lay idly on the sidewalk. This quiet fishing and farming village of a few thousand would like to reinvent itself as a tourist destination. Government efforts to create fishing cooperatives and plants for processing and freezing fish expanded Mexico’s annual catch in the 1970s and 1980s, but today Mexico’s coasts are dominated by U.S., Canadian, and Japanese boats, which catch ten times what Mexican boats do. Small-scale fishermen in places like Barra de Cazones fetch low prices for their fish, and high fuel prices take a sizable chunk of their meager earnings. With fishermen struggling, little investment in infrastructure, high interest rates, and few jobs, this lonely town’s main business, like that of the nearby villages of Volador and Agua Dulce, is out-migration. Archimedes, a proud and boisterous local entrepreneur, was frying several freshly caught fish in a wide skillet and extolling their virtues in a theatrical baritone.

We have by now amassed sufficient definitions and reviewed enough mathematics to begin discussion of energy levels and transfers. This is a very difficult subject, as evidenced by the fact that more than 50 years of scientific effort were required before the relationships between heat, work, and energy were well understood. A knowledge of the history of development of this understanding by Carnot, Mayer, Rumford, Clausius, Joule, Thompson, and others is very helpful in appreciating the significance of the First Law of thermodynamics. Part of the difficulty lies in the fact that the concepts of temperature, heat and work are so intuitively familiar to us that we tend to use them without much thought. We have already discussed systems in terms of heat transfer just as if we knew exactly what heat is. We present here a summary of the present understanding of the relation between heat, work, and energy levels of systems, leading to a definition of the first law of thermodynamics. We are all familiar with the sensation of warmth, that is, that some objects are hotter or colder than others. A large number of instruments called thermometers can be (and have been) devised which will indicate degrees of hotness or coldness of their environments. They have physical properties which vary perceptibly as they become hotter or colder (examples are the volume of a body of fluid at a fixed pressure, the length of a column of mercury in a glass tube, or the voltage produced by a metallic couple); these changes can be assigned arbitrary units of "hotness." The zeroth law says that two bodies that are in thermal equilibrium with a third body are in equilibrium with each other. By thermal equilibrium we mean that two bodies are in contact separated by a wall or walls that prevent exchange of mechanical energy or mass, but which still allow the two bodies to interact energetically. Such walls are called diathermal, that is, they allow heat to flow between the bodies. When no further change in the bodies is observed, they are at equilibrium; if one of these is a thermometer, its properties (volume, length, voltage) have been calibrated according to some arbitrary scale, and a reading on this "hotness" or temperature scale may be made.

The rapid expansion of world population, the exhausting of inland resources and the requirement of sustainable development of world economy have strengthened the efforts of mankind to increase the capability of resource exploitation and space utilization in the ocean. Very Large Floating Structures (VLFS) are among those marine structures that have attracted long lasting attention in ocean utilization for several decades. The applications of different size VLFS as floating piers, floating airports, floating hotels, floating fuel facilities and even floating cities have triggered extensive researches. Several projects including the conceptual design and construction of VLFS have been launched, for instance, Mega-Float in Tokyo Bay, Floating oil storage bases in Kamigoto and Shirashima islands, Floating emergency rescue bases in Yokohoma, Floating performance stage in Singapore, Large floating bridge in Norway, Mobile offshore base (MOB) in USA and Multi-purpose floating base near islands in China. Due to much larger dimensions, relatively smaller global rigidities and lower natural frequencies than an ordinary ship, a VLFS has apparent flexible body responses rather than rigid body motions in waves. Hence hydroelastic analyses are of great importance in design and safety assessment of a VLFS. Extensive researches have been carried out during the past decades in the development of prediction methods of hydroelastic responses of VLFSs. However, most publications in this field were for VLFSs in open sea. If a VLFS is deployed near islands and reefs in complicated geographical environment, the wave conditions, wave loads and the hydroelastic responses of a VLFS will be quite different than in open sea. In this paper the three-dimensional hydroelasticity theories that have been widely used in the analysis of a VLFS in deep or shallow open sea with constant water depth are briefly introduced. Based on these theories the numerical approaches of hydroelastic analyses of a VLFS near island and reefs in shallow sea, developed recently by CSSRC, are described. Some important technical problems, including description of wave environment, design scheme, connectors between modules, hydroelastic responses, coupled responses with mooring system and safety analysis of a VLFS deployed near islands and reefs are also discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Modeling of heat transfer processes for controls applications requires that the modeler make a set of assumptions that strikes a balance between accuracy and simulation run time. Common points of consideration include choosing the appropriate dimension of the model, the importance of transient effects, numerical and temporal discretization, etc. The results of these decisions directly impact the speed and accuracy of the model. It can be useful for the modeler to build a framework containing a set of models for a given system where each model contains a different set assumptions. This allows for easy comparison of different classes of models and aids in the decision process for selecting the model that best fits the needs of the user. This work takes the modeling of an open-flame hearth furnace as a case study and examines the implications of different modeling simplifications. This scenario is similar to plug-flow reactors (PFRs) and continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSTRs) in that reactions are occurring in a chamber where mass is flowing in to and out of the system. Modeling of these systems focuses on the concentration of the reactants, whereas the hearth furnace model seeks to capture the heat transfer to the work-piece and walls. Numerous models of PRFs and CSTRs exist in literature as well as several open-fire furnace models using Hottel’s zone method. This work builds off of these modeling techniques by testing several types of models for speed and accuracy. Both steady-state and transient operation are considered and each of the different heat transfer phenomena are modeled in varying dimensions. The open-flame environment inside the furnace produces gases that participate in radiative heat transfer for which there are a number of different models. The P1 approximation to the method of spherical harmonics is used, both in three dimensions and a simplification to one dimensional radiation. The flow of gases inside the furnace is considered to be plug flow with a series of burners injecting hot gases along the length of the furnace. Conduction to the walls and work-piece occurs at much longer time scales than convection, i.e. the combustion gases are moving through the furnace much faster than the characteristic thermal response time of the walls and work-pieces (τgas ≪ τwall). This brings the modeler to the question of how to model transient effects at such disparate time scales. A model is posited that is a combination of quasi-steady radiative heat transfer, transient fluid evolution, and lumped transient conduction. This formulation takes advantage of the disparity in time scales to take large steps in time when solving the radiation equation while solving the energy equation at each time step for the internal gas control volumes. This model is then compared on the grounds of speed and accuracy to the more traditional explicit advancement of a consistent time step in both the gas energy balance and radiative transfer solution.

Full textAbstract:
Thermal radiation is typically one of the most important phenomenon to be taken into account in the evaluation of combustor walls thermal loads due to the high temperatures reached into them. A classical approach is based on the so called Zonal Method, originally developed by Hottel and Sarofim (1967), and actually widely employed in the industrial environment. Even if its accuracy has been largely demonstrated, its efficiency is affected by computational costly solution of 4th – 6th fold integrals constituting the DEAs. A direct integration is usually employed, subsequently smoothing the results in order to obey the conservation constraints. The last decades have seen a growing interest on developing new techniques able to simplify these time consuming direct numerical integrations. Among them one of the most promising approaches has been recently introduced by Yuen (2008) which is based on the classic Mean Beam Length concept. The emittance (absorptance) coefficients of the radiating (receiving) gas volume zones of cubic shape are treated as those of a grey gas filled hemisphere. According to Yuen (2008), a correlative expression has been employed for evaluating the MBL corresponding to each single volume zone. In the present work its application has been extended to more complex zone shapes by means of an Artificial Neural Network trained on a properly selected geometry database. In this way the DEA integral folds can be all reduced to the 4th order, and, employing well known geometrical techniques (Walton, 2002), can be further decreased to lower order integrals. The proposed model has been compared with 3D benchmark test cases available in literature: the accuracy has been tested against the results of DTM, FVM and classical Zonal Method. Moreover an industrial application is shown. The geometry of the AE94.2 gas turbine combustion chamber has been considered; the gas mixture has been treated as a non-grey gas using the well known Weighted Sum of Gray Gases (WSGG) model. In comparison with the classical zonal method approach, the efficiency of the proposed one demonstrates the possibility of a zone refinement enabling a more accurate evaluation of radiative thermal loads at the same computational cost. Results are presented and discussed.
