Sentiment Analysis In Relation To Jordan’S Churches - For The Promotion Of Christian Pilgrimage And Religious Tourism In Jordan, Malek Bader

International Journal of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage

Jordan has many famous tourist destinations of Christian importance, but it is unable to attract many Christian pilgrimage tourists. With churches being the epicenter for Christian pilgrimage tourists, an effort was made to understand the sentiments of the people towards the churches of Jordan. A VADER sentiment analysis was performed on 1,758 tweets after biased data removal and data pre-processing of Twitter data for one year. The results showed that 56% of people had positive sentiments, 27% had neutral sentiments, and only 17% had negative sentiments towards the churches of Jordan. The most frequently appearing words in the total word …

Pilgrim Prioritisation Of Religious Activities: Time Use-Based Behavioural Approach In Iran, Hossein Akbari, Abolfazl Hosseini, Mahla Mohammadi

International Journal of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage

The present study investigates the time-use activities of pilgrims at their religious destination. The time diary was used to describe the behaviour of pilgrims who came on a pilgrimage to the holy shrine of Imam Reza in Mashhad (Iran) in sufficient detail to measure the overall duration and continuous records of activities. According to the findings, pilgrims spend most of their time on necessary and religious activities, respectively. Free time and shopping activities were also among their other activities. Pilgrims were categorised into three clusters: Active Pilgrims, Tourist-Pilgrims, and Non-active or Passive Pilgrims. Active Pilgrims are mostly involved in religious …

Exploring The Activities Of Religious Ministers And Festival Tourism At The Christmas Celebration In St. Lalibela, Ethiopia: A Photo-Based Essay, Dagnachew Nega, Alexander Trupp, Yen Pek Teh

International Journal of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage

Religious festivals represent potential for religious tourism, offering unique cultural and spiritual experiences at destinations. Among the methods for promoting religious festivals as a driver for religious tourism is the use of Photo-based essay tools.

This paper analyses, from an innovative bibliometric perspective, the influence of the Camino de Santiago on the academic literature in the period from 1980 to the present. For this purpose, two data sources have been used comparatively: manuscripts indexed in Scopus and doctoral theses. The results reveal a growth of its academic relevance in the last decade, especially in indexed publications. The analysis …

Business Operators’ Perception Of The Impact Of The Portuguese Way Of St. James, Paula Remoaldo, Eduardo Duque, Vítor Ribeiro, José Cadima Ribeiro, Hélder Silva Lopes, Sandro Ferreira, Cátia Faria

International Journal of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage

This research aims to analyse business operators’ perception of the impact of the Portuguese Way of St. James and to assess the landscape situation along a total section of 115 kilometres. Perceptions were collected in a survey of 112 small operators between 2020 and 2021. The diversity and singular components of the landscape make it a pleasant route to experience, where pilgrims have the possibility to improve wellbeing, and enjoy the landscape. Operators have profited from the significant increase in the number of pilgrims walking along the Way and claim that they aim to continue their operations.

Recent Trends In The Development Of Jewish Life And Heritage Tourism In Trani, Italy, Andrea Corsale

International Journal of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage

This paper focuses on the recent revival of Jewish religious and cultural activities in the coastal town of Trani, in Southern Italy, after several centuries of substantial interruption. The specific events which led to the re-establishment of an institutional Jewish community and the restoration and reclamation of the local synagogues, along with the renewed visibility of the well-preserved Jewish district, of Medieval origins, are unique to this case study. However, at the same time, they reflect similar phenomena of restoration of Jewish sites and revival of Jewish communities in southern and eastern Europe, and beyond. As the case study analysis …

Collaboration And Cooperation: A Network Analytic Approach, Rodolfo Baggio, Giovanni Ruggieri

International Journal of Islands Research

The value of collaboration in the tourism domain has been highlighted in numerous works. Coordination of joint activities in tourism destinations is a prerequisite for enhancing the value creation process and providing a good basis for the attractiveness and development of the destination. Destination managers are called to design efficient and effective strategies for improving collaboration in their areas. To do that, they need reliable ways to measure the phenomenon. Traditional methods are reputed to be relatively ineffective for their intrinsic biases. However, network science can provide, instead, trustworthy ways for this task. This paper describes some of the most …

An Analysis And Comparison Of The Learning Experiences Of 4th Year Business Students In Tud Blanchardstown Before And During The Covid-19 Pandemic., Neil Chambers

Irish Journal of Academic Practice

In 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic brought about the closure of schools and third-level institutions across the world, causing teaching and assessment to switch from face-to-face to online. The objective of this research is to analyse and compare the learning experiences of college students before and during the pandemic. It presents a cross-sectional study of fourth-year business-faculty students at Technological University Dublin, using a mixed-method approach that included two focus groups and the distribution of a questionnaire.

Foresight: Trusting And Using The Information From Data Analytics To Support Decision-Making In Pharmaceutical Manufacturing, Marcus O’Mahony, Paul Bassett, Alan Kavanagh, Anthony Maguire, Aoife Corrigan, Barry Malone, Michael Walshe, Siobhán Griffin, Thomas Coleman, Margot Holland, Kate Courtney, Carl Rafferty, Anne Greene, Damon Warnock

Journal of Applied Pharmaceutical Regulatory Science

Background: Data is not information. Information is actionable. Data, alone, is not. This distinction has significant risk management consequences when using data to support decision-making in the highly regulated pharma and biopharma manufacturing sector. A new framework is proposed to support the trustworthy use of the information generated from data, by data analytics, for effective risk-based decision-making. The emergence of a standardised approach for using such information is essential to avoid duplication and divergence of efforts across the sector. Ensuring that any proposed approach aligns with regulatory expectations for the sector is also essential.

Methods: Through an industry-academic collaboration, over …

Land Use Intensification And Bio-Resource Utilisation In The South Pacific Islands, David Lopez Cornelio

International Journal of Islands Research

The long and gradual colonisation of the Pacific islands created settlements of cohesive social networks that fused or were displaced by western ways of life, trade and governance through the centuries. In this paper, a historical review of the processes of island discovery, plants domestication, and of land use practices are discussed alongside the main socioeconomic drivers of land cover change. The native trees of the South Pacific constitute an invaluable resource for sustainable development; they were used and domesticated for thousands of years but logging, commercial agriculture, mining, the introduction of exotic species and urban expansion are threatening them …

Mass Tourism Management In Sintra World Heritage Site: The Role Of Tourist Guides, Luis Miguel Brito, Ilidia Carvalho

International Journal of Tour Guiding Research

Information is power. Tourist guides hold this power as information givers, representatives of the tourists in the sites they visit and vice versa, and they can also persuade the tourists to do what is more convenient in each situation, thus contributing to sustainability through their interpretation. Arguably, in a situation of mass tourism, they can be very helpful. Mass tourism is viewed negatively by various intellectual currents and some critics in the field. It is usually associated with a lack of interest in culture, and it is understood as harmful to nature. It is in opposition to alternative, responsible, and …

Applying Systems Thinking To Navigate The Global Regulatory Complexity Problem For Post-Approval Changes, Emma Ramnarine, Anders Vinther

Journal of Applied Pharmaceutical Regulatory Science

The complex global problem of managing post-approval changes (PACs) and its significant constraint on manufacturers’ agility to continuously improve and address supply chain challenges has been known for over two decades. Attempts to solve the problem so far have not been successful, partly because this has been treated as a complicated and not a complex problem.

Data from over 145,000 PACs across 156 countries reveals the severity of the issue; a global PAC rarely receives unanimous global approval within the World Health Organization (WHO)-recommended review timeline of six months. This leads to a significant time lag between the acquisition of …

Lessons Learned From Covid-19 Is An Opportunity To Reduce Drug Shortages - Vision And Practical Solutions, Anders Vinther

Journal of Applied Pharmaceutical Regulatory Science

The COVID-19 crisis has demonstrated that the global regulatory framework for managing post- approval changes (PACs) is not capable of handling a pandemic. Emergency procedures have been implemented across the globe to avoid drug shortages. By working drastically differently together, the unimaginable happened: in less than a year, a vaccine was developed, approved, produced and provided to people. In light of these actions, there exists a unique opportunity to retire the old system for managing PACs and replace it with a new agile and patient-centric approach built on lessons learned from the global pandemic response. This new approach must be …

The Ongoing Journey Of The One Voice Of Quality For Post-Approval Changes (1vq For Pac) Initiative, Anders Vinther, Emma Ramnarine

Journal of Applied Pharmaceutical Regulatory Science

Since 2018, the Chief Quality Officers (CQOs) of the top 25 pharma companies have spoken with one voice of quality on the topic of post-approval changes (1VQ for PAC Initiative). The 1VQ for PAC Initiative has developed practical approaches to significantly reduce the complexity of the global PAC regulatory framework. This current framework poses a risk to the supply of products to patients, as it drastically slows innovation and continual improvement. The CQOs built on an opportunity from the ICH Q10 Guideline to earn regulatory flexibility, allowing management of more PACs in the Pharmaceutical Quality System (PQS) only …
