Nicolleta Gullace Associate Professor of History, COLA, travels to England

On June 16th I travelled to London for a two-week research trip to archives holding valuable material on the history of the First World War. I stayed in a Quaker boarding house off of Russell Square and walked to the Imperial War Museum in Lambeth and the British Library next to Kings Cross Station. I also made several profitable trips to the British National Archives near Kew Gardens in West London, where Government papers are held. On my weekend, I visited relatives in Suffolk, who live near the location of a zeppelin raid that took place over East Anglia in 1917

International Student’s Mobility and Tourism: Relations, Opportunities, and Insights for Canadian University Cities

The increase in student enrollment and mobility in Canadian universities every year generates a continuous flow of people that move, study, work, and live in university cities across the country. The presence of international students contributes to the prosperity of Canada, positively impacting its socio-cultural and economic development. The multiplicity of needs and services related to this segment of the urban population also makes their way through to the travel and hospitality sectors. Indeed, students visit and travel in the country, contributing to urban tourism and the local economy. In addition, the uncertainty related to the post-pandemic period and the hybridization of academic activities provided by several Canadian universities in response to the conditions created by the pandemic, will continue to impact the use of space, places, and services and increase the level of the temporary and flexible hospitality demands. This study investigates the relations and the opportunities between the mobility of university students and urban tourism, with implications for partnerships between destinations and their higher education institutions, a topic rarely explored in the tourism field and its literature

Off-site modular housing systems – Expeditious solutions for student residence

In a competitive university system, student residences represent an essential infrastructure to support not only hospitality needs but also educational and training activities, promoting concepts of independence, and fostering reciprocal relational exchanges and supports. In order to respond immediately to the current shortage of accommodation places, it is possible to use prefabricated modular housing systems. Thanks to the study of literature and case studies, this paper describes the evolution of this construction system, highlighting limits and potentials. It also provides an overview that defines the reasons and opportunities that could suggest its greater use in the university housing sector, at a time when the speed of execution, product quality and respect for costs are increasingly important factors.   Article info Received: 15/09/2023; Revised: 08/10/2023; Accepted: 20/10/202

Efecto de la lluvia en el momento de la cosecha (lavado) sobre características físicas, químicas y reológicas del grano de trigo Triticum aestivum L.

p.1-6Se simularon lluvias artificiales de magnitud creciente en un lote de trigo en condiciones de ser cosechado mecánicamente (humedad menor al 11,2 por ciento). Estas lluvias disminuyeron el Peso Hectolítrico y la densidad del grano, encontrándose una correlación curvilínea altamente significativa (r igual a -0,986 y r igual a -0,981, respectivamente) entre los dos parámetros y la magnitud de las lluvias. Se ideó una escala visual que se encontró estrechamente correlacionada con ambos (r igual a 0,88 y r igual a -0,83 en igual orden) posibilitando su uso como estimador rápido del lavado en experimentos en el futuro. Otros parámetros del grano no fueron afectados como tampoco lo fue la calidad industrial

Influencia del tamaño de la semilla de trigo y sus reservas proteicas : II- el rendimiento de grano del cultivo subsecuente

p.17-24Para probar que se pueden obtener aumentos de rendimiento utilizando semillas grandes, se seleccionaron lotes del cv. Cooperación Cabildo que provenían de una red de fertilización y presentaban un rango de entre 18 y 40 g las mil semillas, y entre 9 y 18 por ciento de proteína. Con ellas se sembraron tres ensayos en dos años. El rendimiento se correlacionó positivamente con el peso de mil granos y negativamente con el porcentaje de proteína. No se obtuvo correlación del rendimiento con el peso seco de las plántulas ni con el porcentaje de emergencia. Ese mayor rendimiento se debió al incremento del número de espigas por m2

Left ventricular apical diseases

There are many disorders that may involve the left ventricular (LV) apex; however, they are sometimes difficult to differentiate. In this setting cardiac imaging methods can provide the clue to obtaining the diagnosis. The purpose of this review is to illustrate the spectrum of diseases that most frequently affect the apex of the LV including Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy, LV aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms, apical diverticula, apical ventricular remodelling, apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, LV non-compaction, arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia with LV involvement and LV false tendons, with an emphasis on the diagnostic criteria and imaging features
