Oct. 2021 HOSPITALITY IN ADVENTURE TOURISM: Being, dwelling, guiding A thesis presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Aberdeen by Jelena Farkić Master of Science 2013 Faculty of Sport and Tourism, Educons University, Serbia 2018 Declaration I, Jelena Farkic, declare that this thesis has been composed by myself and submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Aberdeen. The document has not been accepted in any previous application for a degree and is wholly my own work unless otherwise referenced or acknowledged. All quotations have been distinguished by quotation marks and the sources of information specifically acknowledged. Jelena Farkić 28th February 2018 I Publications The following publications have been produced during my candidature, which have been partly reproduced in this thesis: Varley, P., Farkic, J. and Carnicelli, S. (2018). Hospitality in wild places. Hospitality & Society. 8(2). Farkic, J. (2018). Outdoor guiding as hospitality work. Annals of Tourism Research. II Abstract This thesis, through narrating outdoor guiding as hospitality work, brings together two broad areas of academic inquiry – adventure tourism and hospitality studies. Building on existentialist propositions of dwelling as a way of being in the world, more-than-human sociology and a poststructuralist philosophy of fluidity and flux, it aims to advance outdoor adventure guiding scholarship. In so doing, it addresses the client-guide and client-client dynamic in the context of commercial, multi-day ‘adventure’ tours in the Scottish Highlands and Islands, and questions the fetishised, commodified relations within them. Granting attention to embodied experiences of being in the outdoors, it takes a hermeneutic phenomenological approach and employs the ethnographic method of inquiry. Through corporeal and sensual situatedness in the research setting, the space is created for interrogating the processes of creating and co-creating experiences and meanings of hospitality. Through renderings of the material and immaterial, human and non-human, personal and collective, the embodied, affective, relational and contextual nature of human experience is discussed, the attention now being shifted to more existentialist aspects of being in the outdoors in particular, and being in the world in general. The thesis concludes with thoughts on the messy and negotiated nature of hospitality services in 21st century societies, in particular those enacted in outdoor environments. It provides an original contribution to extant hospitality and adventure studies through questioning hospitality through philosophical and sociological concepts such as ontological security, existential comfort, being, dwelling, communitas and hygge. The findings aim to enable commercial tour providers to develop a better understanding of customer needs, and thus give recommendations for adapting the practices of guides with frontline contact with guests in order to foster the overall hospitality experience in natural environments, and beyond. III Acknowledgments I would like to use this space to express my gratitude to everyone who supported, encouraged, inspired or distracted me when necessary during my candidature. Firstly, I wish to acknowledge that this research was made possible by an Adventure Tourism Research Studentship funded by the Moffat Charitable Trust and the University of the Highlands and Islands. I benefitted much from living a cosy student life in the old whisky distillery, not least at the foot of Ben Nevis. From here, it was easy to escape to the glens or hills whenever reading became overwhelming, in search of inspiration and motivation. Not far from home, however, I had my desk in the Research Centre at West Highland College UHI. I know my chair was often empty during the later stages of write- up, and I am grateful to colleagues Steve, Sara and Zoe for understanding the reason behind that. I would also like to thank other WHC members of staff for their hospitality and immense support, which contributed in no small way to both this study and my personal, academic and professional development. I am particularly grateful to my supervisory team – Peter Varley, Steve Taylor, Sandro Carnicelli and Melanie Smith. In many ways they have acted as more than just supervisors, and I am indebted to every one of them for their understanding, patience and guidance throughout my bumpy and wobbly PhD journey. However, there is always that someone who does not have an official supervisory role but may be credited for providing invaluable advice nonetheless. I owe a lot to Anna de Jong, who has been there for me to understand and listen, give advice, inspire, and encourage, and, above all, be a trusted friend. We enjoyed it here in the Highlands; particularly our chats on the loch shore, at Costa’s, or in the College café until everyone else was gone and the lights were turned off. IV My life as the sole doctoral student at WHC had been really tough and I was glad when finally, towards the end of my second year, we welcomed another PhD student in the Centre. It has been invaluable to have Jo around, to either constructively chat PhD or rant about it, or to get out for a pint or three. I also must mention Tiago, a curly haired creature who would entice me out for a hike, a cycle ride, or a climb up the hill on the days I would rather just stay inside, lost in books and covered in scientific papers. The final year of my PhD, however, was shared with William Charles Jeremy Ball. Strangely enough, he has never asked a single question about my thesis, which, admittedly, I have appreciated much. He has been an enormous support nonetheless, driving me as far as the airports, or all the way to where conferences took place. We have found our way of being, and occasionally putting my PhD aside, doing simple yet meaningful things together: book- shopping, reading side by side, Netflixing, travelling, fine dining and above all, hygge-ing. I am also deeply grateful to the whole suite of friends, as well as colleagues at Faculty of Sport and Tourism, for believing in me and supporting my decision to all of a sudden change my structured, urban life for living in a small, amorphous place in the mountains. Naturally, I am most indebted to my family, for their unconditional support, especially in the first three months of my PhD, when, in my absence, they had no choice but being busy bringing up my daughter. This certainly was a mad time for everyone, but we all endured and made it happen. Endless family love, care and support, above all faith, is an example of what Martin Heidegger described as the ‘healing and conserving powers of home’, which this thesis, in many ways, benefited from. It is, however, difficult to be succinct. My feelings of gratitude undoubtedly transcend the words above – ask Jacques Derrida, he might be able to explain.

These authors contributed equally. y Co-last authors. z Received: 22 July 2020; Accepted: 4 September 2020; Published: 8 September 2020 Abstract: The senescence process is the result of a series of factors that start from the genetic constitution interacting with epigenetic modifications induced by endogenous and environmental causes and that lead to a progressive deterioration at the cellular and functional levels. One of the main causes of aging is oxidative stress deriving from the imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen (RNS) species and their scavenging through antioxidants. Xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) activities produce uric acid, as well as reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, which all may be relevant to such equilibrium. This review analyzes XOR activity through in vitro experiments, animal studies and clinical reports, which highlight the pro-aging effects of XOR products. However, XOR activity contributes to a regular level of ROS and RNS, which appears essential for the proper functioning of many physiological pathways. This discourages the use of therapies with XOR inhibitors, unless symptomatic hyperuricemia is present.

  • Summary of Q&A at the Briefing of Financial Results of The
    Summary of Q&A at the Briefing of Financial Results of the Year ended March 31, 2013 (May 9, 2013) Q Please explain the reasons for your decision to recognize business restructuring expenses in the fiscal year ended March 2013. Could you also let us know whether the possibility exists that you may regularly recognize similar special losses in the future? A We do not acknowledge the special losses booked in the previous fiscal year as being regular or periodic in nature. One of the causes was that, since 2009, we actively pursued a policy of using development companies in other countries which created additional challenges when compared to in- house development, and led to some titles not attaining the anticipated quality standard. Consequently, we chose to cancel some of the titles under development with external companies as well as additional titles that did not meet market demands of the digital contents distribution. As a result, we booked business restructuring expenses to reduce future special losses and the transition to in-house production. Q What are your plans and forecasts for the Chinese version of “Monster Hunter Online”? A We expect to commence β-testing in 2013 in association with Tencent Holdings Limited. However, just as for ordinary PC online games, we anticipate that the contribution to revenues will be insignificant in the first year of this new development. Q Can you explain how the newly developed “Panta Rhei” engine differs from the “MT Framework”? A “Panta Rhei” is the most recently developed engine for new generation consoles like the PlayStation 4, whereas “MT Framework” is an engine developed for existing consoles like the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and for mobile consoles including iOS.

  • Reviewed Paper Urban Emotions and Realtime Planning Methods Peter
    % reviewed paper Urban Emotions and Realtime Planning Methods Peter Zeile (Dr.-Ing. Peter Zeile, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Institute of Urban and Landscape Design | STQP, [email protected]) 1 ABSTRACT The Urban Emotions approach combines methods and technologies from Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI), Social Media, sensors and bio-statistical sensors to detect people’s perception for a new perspective about urban environment. In short, it is a methodology for gaining and extracting contextual information of emotion by using technologies from real-time human sensing systems and crowdsourcing methods. “Real-time planning” describes a system in which planning disciplines get a toolset for a fast and simple creation of visualization or simulation from municipal geodata in a consistent workflow. This includes applications from Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality as well as the above mentioned combination of real-time humane sensors and urban sensing systems. Due to the fact, that a real existing city never corresponds with a laboratory situation, Virtual Reality can be one of the solutions to fill the gap for detecting people’s perceptions concerning design, while filtering other unintended side effects. Insights and results from Urban Emotions project, granted by German Research Foundation and Austrian Science Fond, will be presented in this contribution. It is based on a German contribution, published earlier this year (Zeile 2017). Keywords: walking, 360° cameras, people as sensors, virtual reality, cycling 2 REAL-TIME PLANNING Real time planning and the development of simulation and visualization methods in urban planning was published in 2010 (Zeile 2010). This contribution gives a short overview, how new technologies support this approach contemporarily, and how they can be used in urban and spatial planning.

  • Owen Johnson TED HUGHES
    Owen Johnson TED HUGHES: SPEAKING FOR THE EARTH Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, 1991. This thesis explores the attempt in Ted Hughes' poems to reconcile 'fallen' human consciousness and unreflecting, instinctive involvement in the Earth: consciousness must learn to understand, and to speak for, the Earth it is alienated from. Part One suggests the relevance of the thinking in Hughes' poetry and prose to contemporary ecological theories; it also tries to answer liberal, Marxist, feminist and other critiques of Hughes' work and to justify his ideas on free will, reason, violence, schizophrenia, ritual, shamanism and other subjects. The thesis, secondly, argues for poems' aesthetic importance: Part Two explores a large number of individual poems, offering paraphrases for their more philosophically complex arguments and showing how themes such as the flux of existence (symbolized by wheels and rivers) run through Hughes' oeuvre. Wodwo, Crow, Cave Birds, the Gaudete epilogue, Moortown and River are considered as unified wholes, whose end, of speaking for the Earth, is occasionally and briefly attained. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. No quotation from it should be published without his prior written consent and information derived from it should be acknowledged. 18 AUG 1992 CONTENTS Page Introduction: Literary Criticism and Hughes' Poetry 1 PART ONE Chapter 1: The Earth la: Hughes and Human Ecology 10 lb: Poetry and Ecology 22 2a: David Holbrook on Hughes 26 2b: Hughes' 'Natural Scientism' 27 2c: Contradictory Influences of Blake and Graves 32 2d: Zen, Memory, Subjectivity 35 3a: Graham Bradshaw on Hughes 38 3b: Reason 39 3c: Myth and Ritual 41 3d: Shamanism 44 4a: Dennis Walder on Hughes 46 4b: Hughes and Feminism 48 5a: Martin Dodsworth on Hughes.

  • Street Fighter V: It's About Capcom-Unity
    Street Fighter V: It’s About Capcom-unity Sony and Capcom are set to take the fighting game community to the Promised Land. “Fighting games are dying.” It’s said time and again. With dwindling sales and a limited appeal compared to AAA games of other genres, many believe fighting games are on their deathbed. Yet despite their declining sales figures, fighting games have created one of the most passionate communities in all of gaming: the fighting game community. That, in no small part, is down to the success of Street Fighter. As Matthew Edwards [fighting games community manager for Capcom UK] states, “Street Fighter has been a mainstay of competitive gaming ever since Guile threw his first Sonic Boom.” Since Street Fighter II’s release in 1991 everything has changed. Now, fighting games are facing their biggest challenge to date. Low sales means less developers are willing to invest in fighting games and the genre could potentially end up as dead as the text adventure. At the same time, however, the fighting game community is in full bloom. As Justin Wong [professional fighting game player] states, “[The tournament scene] has grown substantially. Because of streaming and new technology, the numbers of tournament competitors and spectators has increased significantly.” While the games struggle to sell, the scene grows exponentially. Capcom fully understand that for Street Fighter V to succeed, they need to work with the fighting game community. “Capcom is committed to growing the community and giving the tournament players a real incentive to push the game further,” says Edwards.
