Hospitality: a social lens
No full textHospitality: a social lens follows on from the unique contribution made by In Search of Hospitality: theoretical perspectives and debates. It progresses debate, challenges the boundaries of ways of knowing hospitality, and offers intellectual insights stimulated by the study of hospitality. The contributing authors provide tangible evidence of continuing advancement and development of knowledge pertaining to the phenomenon of hospitality. They draw on the richness of the social sciences, taking host and guest relations as a means of studying in-group and out-group relations with and between societies. The chapter contributors represent a multi-disciplinary, international grouping of leading academics with expertise in hospitality management and education, human resource management, linguistics, modern languages, gastronomy, history, human geography, art, architecture, anthropology, and sociology. Each lends their expertise to apply as a social lens through which to view, analyse, and explore hospitality within a range of contexts. Through this process novel ways of interpreting, knowing and sense-making emerge that are captured in the final chapter of the book, and have informed future research themes which are explored

Reflecting on the role of emotions in the PhD process
No full textThis research project examined the role of emotions in the PhD process through an exploratory, qualitative, self reflective study by six recent or current PhD candidates. Despite differences in the nature of the PhD fields of study, and in the personal backgrounds of the participants, a number of common themes were recognised. We developed an interactive workshop for postgraduate students in which participants were asked to reflect on their emotional experiences in their own studies. The combined information from these sources was used to suggest some strategies for management of negative emotions that may arise during the PhD process. Of critical importance is the multiple roles of the PhD supervisor in helping manage the negative emotions that most PhD students inevitably experience at some stage in their candidature. Most important, though, is the role of self reflection in identifying potential emotional problems and their solutions; a process we recommend to PhD candidates and supervisors

Critical hospitality management research
No full textThis paper discusses the development of critical hospitality management research (CHMR) and explores key issues that such approaches raise. The paper is split into two parts. The first reviews contemporary writings that reflect the changing nature of hospitality management research and accounts for the emergence of a critical tradition. The second part identifies eight areas which are central concerns for the future development of CHMR: criticality, ethics and advocacy, scale, claims of legitimacy and research quality, representation, audience, affiliation, institutions and institutional contexts, and the relationship between management research and pedagogy. Associated questions and challenges are surfaced and conclusions drawn
Simple drag prediction strategies for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle’s hull shape
No full textThe range of an AUV is dictated by its finite energy source and minimising the energy consumption is required to maximise its endurance. One option to extend the endurance is by obtaining the optimum hydrodynamic hull shape with balancing the trade-off between computational cost and fluid dynamic fidelity. An AUV hull form has been optimised to obtain low resistance hull. Hydrodynamic optimisation of hull form has been carried out by employing five parametric geometry models with a streamlined constraint. Three Genetic Algorithm optimisation procedures are applied by three simple drag predictions which are based on the potential flow method. The results highlight the effectiveness of considering the proposed hull shape optimisation procedure for the early stage of AUV hull desig
Differential time- and frequency-dependent structure of postural sway and finger tremor in Parkinson's disease
No full textThe time- and frequency-dependent patterns of standing balance centre of pressure (COP) and finger\ud
postural/resting tremor of 12 older individuals and eight age-matched Parkinsonian (PD) participants\ud
(on/off medication) were investigated. Tremor and COP data were analysed using measures of signal\ud
amplitude (RMS), time-dependent structure (approximate entropy, ApEn), time–frequency analysis and\ud
synchrony (Cross ApEn).Results showedthat thePDindividuals had significantly greater tremoramplitude\ud
and COP excursions in comparison to controls. Differences in the time-dependent structure were also\ud
observed between groups. In comparison to the elderly, the resting/postural tremor output of the PD\ud
subjects was more regular (lower ApEn). However, for the postural measures, a reciprocal pattern was\ud
observed with the COP being more complex (higher ApEn). All group differences were magnified when\ud
the PD individuals were off their medication. There was also greater synchrony between tremor and\ud
postural sway for the PD individuals, indicating a high degree of association between thesemotor outputs.\ud
These results are consistent with the view that the neural signal driving the enhanced limb tremor in PD\ud
is propagated throughout the motor system, consequently emerging within the postural sway dynamics.\ud
This commonality of motor output may be a contributing factor in the differential pattern in the dynamics\ud
of effector signal structure in PD as a function of task.\u
THE CORRELATION OF THE MEDIEVAL EUROPEAN STATE AND LAW IN THE DOCTRINE OF P.A. KROPOTKIN
No full textThe actual task of Russian state studies and jurisprudence remains the opposition to the ideological and theoretical constructions of Russian classical anarchism. Purpose: to establish the most significant features and disadvantages of P.A. Kropotkin’s interpretation of the correlation of state and law on the example of Medieval Europe. When writing the article, the author applies interdisciplinary and class approaches. General scientific and specific scientific methods are used: historical, problem-theoretical, formal-logical, textual. Materials: monuments of law, other historical sources, foreign and national historiography. The analysis shows that P.A. Kropotkin’s works are characterised not only by a pronounced anti-exploitation pathos, but also by an equally pronounced tendentiousness. Results: aprioriism, anti-statism and antilegism, radical localism, Eurocentrism, diffusionism, cyclism and catastrophism, clothed in the form of postulates, predetermined P.A. Kropotkin’s one-sided interpretations of the interaction of the medieval European state with positive and customary law. In the first case, it took a purely causative form, and in the second, it was predominantly conflictual. These are the key flaws of P.A. Kropotkin’s correlation concept
