Emotions in Tourism: from Consumer Behavior to Destination Management
No full textWe argue in this chapter that tourism practice is emotionally charged,
but tourism research is less so. In fact, emotion research in tourism was mostly
borrowed from marketing studies, which limits its application mainly to customer
satisfaction and customer loyalty issues. Little is known as yet about the complex
nature of the emotion concept and the dynamic relationship between tourist experiences
and emotional states. Therefore in this chapter we aim to: (1) clarify the
emotional concept and the underlying theories in modern psychology; (2) identify
the crucial connections between tourist experiences (pre-, on-, and post-trip) and
emotional states; and (3) assess the main domains of interest for future emotion
research in tourism. We propose a conceptual framework to bridge consumer
behavior and destination management/marketing research through studying emotional
states. Further, we argue that human interactions between host and guest
(as well as among guests), emotional valence of tourism activities (and on-line
behaviors), as well as attention to eliciting emotion in destination marketing/
branding and service design are the main issues for a future research agenda. To
investigate these issues, combined use of (qualitative) self-reported techniques and
(technologically advanced) observation techniques will be crucial
Cost of Non-Europe in the Single Market in Transport and Tourism. III Tourism policy and passenger rights: Study
No full textThis study looks at the cost of non-Europe in European tourism
policy and passenger rights legislation. For passenger rights, it
analyses existing legislation and policy measures, identifying
specific gaps where legislation or further initiatives at European
level could be beneficial. In the tourism area, it quantifies in
economic terms the potential for efficiency gains and identifies the
main areas, in which EU action would further support the
development of tourism and help realise the potential gains
identified
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Linzer biologische Beiträge / Nachruf Roland Pechlaner (1934-2022) international anerkannter Limnologe und Fischforscher
No full textObituary Roland Pechlaner, (1934-2022) internationally recognized limnologist and ichthyologist. Roland Pechlaner was born in Innsbruck, Tirol on 18 January 1934 and passed away on 1st May 2022. He was an outstanding limnologist (freshwater and fish biologist) dedicated to all aspects of nature conservancy relating to the functional ecology of lakes and rivers. After completing his primary and secondary education, he began his studies in zoology and botany at the University of Innsbruck in 1952 and finished with his PhD degree end of 1956. He immediately began working at the Institute of Zoology and completed his habilitation in 1967. Six years later he was awarded an extraordinary professorship in limnology at the Institute of Zoology, becoming head of the Limnology research group (Abteilung) in 1974. He was the leader of the first comprehensive ecosystem study of a high mountain lake (Vorderer Finstertaler See, Kühtai) within the IBP (International Biological Program UNESCO) from 1967 to 1977. Almost contemporarily in 1971, Roland Pechlaner initiated the first restoration of a mountain lake in Austria (Piburger See) by means of a hypolimnetic siphon. Piburger See has since then been the object of one of the most comprehensive, long-term ecosystem studies following restoration. This achievement was recognized by a governmental scientific ecosystem award in 1989 and a full professorship dedicated to Roland Pechlaner in 1993. His special merits include key contributions to high mountain limnology, methods for the assessment of lake eutrophication and in particular, lake restauration in national and international programs (e.g. OECD Lake Eutrophication Program guided by R. Vollenweider). Since the 1980s he became a leading expert in running water protection, fostering eco-friendly aspects of river engineering with special attention to riverine habitats for fishes and benthic fauna. He especially focused on the River Continuum concept to avoid discontinuities for fish migration and organismic drift related to natural runoff, and problems by water abstraction for electric power generation. For 20 years before his illness forced him into early retirement, he was an active member of multiple national (e.g. Tiroler Naturschutzbeirat, WWV, Umweltforum) and international commissions (e.g. SIL Austria president and international committees) related to lake and river protection. One of his special skills was his gift of teaching limnology at all levels with incredible enthusiasm that he successfully transferred to his (more than 50 Master and PhD) students. He was personally engaged in the development of excellent limnology curricula within diploma and doctoral studies as well as in international post-graduate teaching. We thank him for his enthusiastic engagement in science and education of limnologists as well as successful establishing of professional careers over many years and will never forget his kind and friendly personality. He will always be remembered as an excellent role model of an engaged scientist and teacher for all of us
