What does generation Y want from conferences and incentive programmes?
This article examines the particular characteristics of Generation Y, such as their high expectations, their desire for ongoing education and their technological aptitude. It investigates the ways in which conferences and incentive programmes can be designed in such a way that they appeal to this youngest, but fastest-growing, segment of employees. Approaches include effective use of technology, involvement at the design stage, consideration of CSR and sustainability and effective use of speakers.
The recommendations will be of interest to all intermediaries and suppliers in the conference and incentive travel industry, including convention bureaux and other destination marketing organisations, destination management companies, professional conference organisers and incentive travel houses, venues and speakers
A Predictive Model for Convective Flows Induced by Surface Reactivity Contrast
Concentration gradients in a fluid along a reactive surface due to contrast
in surface reactivity generate convective flows. These flows result from
contributions by electro and diffusio osmotic phenomena. In this study we have
analyzed reactive patterns that release and consume protons, analogous to
bimetallic catalytic conversion of peroxide. Here, we present a simple
analytical model that accurately predicts the induced potentials and consequent
velocities in such systems over a wide range of input parameters. Our model is
tested against direct numerical solutions to the coupled Poisson,
Nernst-Planck, and Navier-Stokes equations. Our analysis can be used to predict
enhancement of mass transport and the resulting impact on overall catalytic
conversion, and is also applicable to predicting the speed of catalytic
nanomotors
Brexit is damaging UK science already. Here is a plan to fix it
British science and technology are already haemorrhaging talent and collaborations because of the Brexit vote, write Mike Galsworthy (left) and Rob Davidson of Scientists for EU. The government’s promise to underwrite Horizon 2020 funding was a bare minimum and uncertainty about future funding has made the UK a much less attractive place for research. They present an eight-point plan to limit damage to UK science and put its knowledge economy back in contention
Debunking the myths about British science after an EU exit
In this extract from their evidence to the House of Lords Select Committee on Science and Technology, Dr Mike Galsworthy (left) and Dr Rob Davidson explore the relationship between EU membership and the effectiveness of science, research and innovation in the UK
Education and training required for the digital radiography environment:A Non-interventional Quantitative Survey Study of Radiologic Technologists
Investigating teeth eruption and eating quality
In Australia, a sheep ceases to be a lamb as soon as the eruption of its first permanent incisor teeth is evident. As part of a wider program to investigate a number of aspects of sheep meat eating quality, a project was undertaken to determine whether lamb eating quality would be compromised if sheep with partially erupted teeth continued to be classified as lamb.
Overall, the results indicated that meat from young sheep with partially erupted teeth was unlikely to be inferior in eating quality than the meat currently classified as lamb
Elevating People: Planning for Equitable Travel to Marquam Hill
Plan581, a team of urban planning graduate students at Portland State University, presents the Elevating People plan and its Transportation Equity Lens to help guide OHSU’s future transportation investments. Together, the plan and lens are aimed at improving travel to Marquam Hill by identifying Priority Communities and advancing transportation equity through internal and regional efforts
Studija uticaja pandemije COVID-19 na ponašanje i očekivanja turista - slučaj Srbije
Due to the spread of COVID-19 and the closing of the borders of a large number of
countries, tourists’ interest in domestic tourist destinations has grown. The objective of this
paper is to identify future behaviour patterns of tourists and to propose measures that would
affect the interest of domestic tourists in domestic destinations after COVID-19. The study
starts with an analysis of the impact of COVID-19 on global tourism, then focuses on trends
in the tourism market in Serbia and ends by examining citizens' attitudes towards key factors
for domestic tourism development. It is estimated that tourism can benefit from an essential
understanding of tourists’ demands for a safe journey. Research results indicate statistically
significant differences in the attitudes of respondents in relation to age, gender and education,
but most respondents believe that it is necessary for the state to invest more in tourist
infrastructure and to adjust pricing policy to remain competitive domestic destinations after
