A Marketing Booklet for the Alana Hotel Surabaya: the Best Way to Emphasize the Uniqueness of Its Products in Promoting Itself to Institutions and Companies

The Alana is a four-star hotel located in the South of Surabaya. It was built in 2013, which means that it is still a new hotel. Since it is new, it lacks the necessary promotion tool to reach the institutions and companies. In fact, The Alana does not have the promotion tool which emphasizes its excellence and uniqueness of the products. To solve the problem, The Alana needs a marketing booklet, which can help them to show their strengths. This marketing booklet consists of table of contents, company overview (about The Alana), product descriptions (hotel rooms, room types, hotel facilities, and meeting rooms), and contact information (contact us). By having this information, a marketing booklet will become the best tool for The Alana to show the strengths of their products and help them to reach their target marke

External Trade, Tourism and Economic Integration in Latin America

We analyse the positive effects of industry, external trade and tourism on economic development, with a comparative study of twenty-two Latin American countries and an especial reference to the case of MERCOSUR and Andean Community. Besides tourism the industrial evolution is also very important to improve the development of services through some intersectoral relations. Our econometric model shows an important positive impact on the services sector of the industry and the tourism, which is included in the exports of the sector services.

Open Sans, Access Incomplete

Why do some have access while others do not? Think about your answer, don’t say it aloud. To say it out loud is a privilege which we have and others do not. Two ways to see it: what are you restricted from and others have access to? Or: what do you have access to which others are restricted from? Each of us are unique compilations of acquired knowledge. Which is based on the availability and limitations of opportunities. The unfortunate hierarchy of the world is decided by education and wealth. Education is not freely available. We are all told “you are free to make your own decisions”. I can, but only within the preexisting and predefined constraints. Imposed restrictions on people create divisions among us. I abide by them, we all do… to some extent. Perhaps we could all stand to question the inequality of privilege and access. The purpose of barriers and borders warped into inequalities and divisiveness. We are confined by birthplace, religion, biology, physiology, and more. Each of us are unique individuals who are confined by involuntary precedents. Factors beyond human control are not fair grounds to dictate who has access. So why does each barrier apply to some people and not others? Ask yourself, are can and can’t black and white? My art aims to capture details from the chaotic train of thoughts in my mind when thinking about the current state of divisiveness. Extracting the specific opportunities and privileges I possess became the driving source of subject matter in my project. There are many advantages I have that others simply do not have; there are also privileges I can have that others can’t and vice versa. On what basis does the difference in accessibility exist? I am concerned with boundaries where the requirement for admittance is not available to everyone due to uncontrollable factors—including gender, citizenship, religion, birthplace, and economic status. It is not my intention to paint said criteria as stagnant, you are certainly able to alter them. However, I do hope you as the viewer and reader question why the measurement of entry is based on factors which each persona decides for themselves or biology has decided for them. While at the Western Wall in Jerusalem, I found that it exemplified the boundaries I am restricted by as well as ones I have access through, which others do not. My tape drawing of the Wall conjured thoughts of citizenship, nationality, gender, and religion all in one space. In order to see the Western Wall one must be allowed to enter Israel, which not all people can do because of their nationality. The wall is also located in the Jewish quarter of the old city, therefore some people may not enter based on their religious views and familial background. Once you finally make it to the wall, there are two entrances with a divider between the male and female sides. The processes and materials in each installation was purposeful and relevant to the concept. Applying tape to the walls allows me to balance working intuitively and within the confinement of the tape lines. An important part of my process is for my hand to be present in the feeling of the lines. I am able to achieve my drawings by using an additive method and subtractive—not only does it allow me to work within the space of the material, it also emphasizes the conceptual nature of my work. Each wall in the gallery space features an installation crucial to my process and the end result. The barbed wire piece is meant to reference both concentration camps and modern-day incarceration. The last step in my development of this piece was the removal of the installed barbed wire, leaving the sketches and outlines of the shadows; representing the memory of imprisonment challenging the long-standing tradition of people locking other human beings away. At the beginning of my process, I was most excited about the opportunity to work at such a large scale—completing work over 20’ wide. Unfortunately, my project was not able to come to fruition due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After the struggles of abandoning my studio and the gallery space, I was able to come to terms with reality and continue my work at home in Oregon. The end result is composed of renderings of what the finished product would have looked like. Despite our global circumstance of COVID-19 and it’s impact on our world; I choose to feel proud of my work and thankful for my opportunity to share my process with my family. The walls which divide us will serve as a reminder to me of the privilege I witness through art and the education I’ve had thus far

Doctors, Lawyers, & Leadership: Two Coaching Cases and Perspectives on the Future

Both physicians and attorneys complete highly rigorous academic regimens in order to prepare to practice in their respective fields. Rarely does the training in law school or medical school prepare them to manage either staff or departments. Leadership coaching for physicians and attorneys is a newer field, which is slowly beginning to gain traction in medical and legal fields. Through coaching, professionals gain insights into how they are viewed by their supervisor, peers, and direct reports and use this knowledge to formulate coaching goals, which are facilitated by an Executive Coach. Coaching approaches are based on theoretical knowledge, which provides coaches with a framework for their client work. This framework when balanced with the coach’s insights through observation, the use of assessments and instruments, and other data provides a comprehensive method for client intervention. This paper focuses on two case studies of coaching engagements, which were a part of the Organizational Consulting and Executive Coaching Concentration requirements: a Practicum with a retina surgeon, and an Executive Coaching Internship with a litigation department chair. The application of theory as well as a review of selected articles related to the training and coaching of physicians and attorneys is included to provide an understanding of the past, present, and future of coaching in these fields. This paper is written in first person to create a connection between the author and reader and offer an introspective viewpoint beyond the academic nature of the topics. The case studies, though not originally connected, offer a glimpse into two portraits of successful professionals striving to better understand both management and themselves

Pyroclasts of the first phases of the explosive-effusive PCCVC volcanic eruption: physicochemical analysis

The morphology, texture, grain size and other physicochemical characteristics of pyroclastic material from the first phases of the Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcanic complex (PCCVC) eruption, (Southern Andes, Chile), can be associated to the model recently reported for the magma storage and its ascent conditions. The eruption started June 4th 2011, and the studied volcanic material corresponds to that collected in Argentine territory at different distances from the source, between 4 and 12 June 2011. The explosive-effusive volcanic process of the first days occurred with the simultaneous emplacement of lava flows and the venting of pyroclastic material, ejecting two well differentiated types of particles. The more abundant was constituted by rhyolitic and light color pumice fragments, characterized by a typical vesicular texture, easy fragmentation and absence of occluded crystalline phases. Particles found in minor proportion were dark color, different in shape and texture and rich in Fe and Ti. They seemed to be more effective for the interaction with emitted gases in the upper part of the column, for this reason, they appeared partially covered by condensation products. The ascent conditions of the magma affected its rheological behavior through variations in the degassing, viscosity and fragmentation. On the other hand, distance to the source, depositional time, volcanic evolution and environmental conditions are factors that affect the chemical composition of collected ash. So, the SiO2/FeO ratio not only increases with the distance but also with the deposition time and volcanic activity. The work was done with the aid of several techniques such as a laser-sediment analyzer, X-ray diffraction (XRD), chemical analysis (bulk and surface), SEM microscopy and Raman “microprobe” spectroscopy. On the other hand, the physicochemical behavior of the pyroclastic material allows us to suggest eventual applications

Case study of the validity of truncation schemes of kinetic equations of motion: few magnetic impurities in a semiconductor quantum ring

We carry out a study on the validity and limitations of truncation schemes customarily employed to treat the quantum kinetic equations of motion of complex interacting systems. Our system of choice is a semiconductor quantum ring with one electron interacting with few magnetic impurities via a Kondo-like Hamiltonian. This system is an interesting prototype which displays the necessary complexity when suitably scaled (large number of magnetic impurities) but can also be solved exactly when few impurities are present. The complexity in this system comes from the indirect electron-mediated impurity-impurity interaction and is reflected in the Heisenberg equations of motion, which form an infinite hierarchy. For the cases of two and three magnetic impurities, we solve for the quantum dynamics of our system both exactly and following a truncation scheme developed for diluted magnetic semiconductors in the bulk. We find an excellent agreement between the two approaches when physical observables like the impurities' spin angular momentum are computed for times that well exceed the time window of validity of perturbation theory. On the other hand, we find that within time ranges of physical interest, the truncation scheme introduces negative populations which represents a serious methodological drawback.Comment: 15 pages, 3 figure

A Search for Ionized Gas in the Draco and Ursa Minor Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies

The Wisconsin H Alpha Mapper has been used to set the first deep upper limits on the intensity of diffuse H alpha emission from warm ionized gas in the Local Group dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) Draco and Ursa Minor. Assuming a velocity dispersion of 15 km/s for the ionized gas, we set limits for the H alpha intensity of less or equal to 0.024 Rayleighs and less or equal to 0.021 Rayleighs for the Draco and Ursa Minor dSphs, respectively, averaged over our 1 degree circular beam. Adopting a simple model for the ionized interstellar medium, these limits translate to upper bounds on the mass of ionized gas of approximately less than 10% of the stellar mass, or approximately 10 times the upper limits for the mass of neutral hydrogen. Note that the Draco and Ursa Minor dSphs could contain substantial amounts of interstellar gas, equivalent to all of the gas injected by dying stars since the end of their main star forming episodes more than 8 Gyr in the past, without violating these limits on the mass of ionized gas.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figures, AASTeX two-column format.
