Destination Foodscapes
Foodscape conceptualizes the dynamic human–food–place nexus. Tourism provides a cross-cultural context where tourists can consume different destination foods and places, during which multiple types of destination foodscapes are produced. It is an aggregative concept interconnecting the place, identity, culture, foodstuff, service and human and provides scholars relational thinking about these actors. Specifically in the consumer and cultural studies, foodscape helps to understand how people consume and experience food in interaction with the environments and social-cultural contexts. They connect with each other to form a complete gastronomic experiencescape.

Destination Responses to COVID-19 Waves
Despite the stagnant status of the tourism industry due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the efforts to reopen the tourism destinations as green zones in Vietnam have paid off with some encouraging achievements. This inspires other green zones to consider a more adaptive approach to the ongoing pandemic crisis. Tourism is an economic sector that is vulnerable to crises, natural disasters, political instability or global health pandemics. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic was declared in March 2019 and has been spreading around the world, leading to a great shock to the global tourism industry in both the short and long term. Vietnam’s tourism industry is no exception in being affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The outbreak of the disease has been projected to cause considerable damage to Vietnam’s tourism industry, with an especially sharp decline in the number of international tourist arrivals, which accounts for more than 30% of the total number of international tourists to Vietnam. Currently, there are many studies and general reports on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the tourism industry. The World Tourism Organization surveyed 220 countries and territories along with more than 30 international and regional organizations. More specifically, WTO suggested that governments have to respond rapidly and strongly to the magnitude and scope of measures that increase over time.

Destination Social Responsibility and Environmentally Responsible Behavior
The critical factor for sustainable destination development is the role of stakeholders as essential players in the process of sustainable destination development. Tourists have been acknowledged as significant stakeholders in destination management, exerting a substantial influence on the sustainability of tourism. It is possible that tourists, as members of society, have the same ethical and value-based perspectives that are advocated for by destination social responsibility (DSR) projects. Understanding the key factors contributing to environmentally responsible behavior (ERB) is imperative.

Detection of the Seasonally Activated Rural Areas
Tourist activity is the main cause of seasonal activation of rural areas. The largest seasonal fluctuations were registered in mountain areas and spa resorts. For mountain areas, the highest seasonality is in the winter months (peak—January/February), and lowest is in the summer season. The seasonal character of spa centers indicates the similar trend, generally less pronounced (peak—January), however, with higher seasonality during the summer.

Determinants of NRLAIS in Ethiopia

Determinants of Recreational Activities Choice in Protected Areas
Conciliating nature conservation and tourism development is an increasingly important task for authorities in charge of managing protected areas and requires an adequate knowledge of visitors′ preferences and recreational behavior. In this light, the researchers used data collected by means of a choice experiment to investigate recreational preferences at Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park, a protected area located in Northeastern Italy. More specifically, we analyzed the determinants of visitors’ decisions to engage with different activities in the park. This is important information for park managers, as different recreational activities have both different impact on the natural heritage and different capability to generate revenue for nature conservation and for enhancing the quality of life of local communities.

Determining Factors in rTMS on Sequence Learning
Sequence learning is a fundamental ability of the human brain. It forms the basis of many cognitive, social, and motor skills. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is an increasingly used non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) tool to examine the functional role of cortical areas and brain networks. In addition to neuroimaging methods, rTMS might contribute to a better understanding of the functional and neural underpinnings of visuomotor sequence learning.

Detrimental Effects of School Corporal Punishment on Children
School corporal punishment (SCP) is still a widely used and legal practice in many countries for disciplining children. The infliction of SCP upon children is associated with externalizing behavior problems, internalizing behavior problems, and reduced school performance. Awareness of its detrimental effects is needed to make the school environment a safe place for all children across the world.

Develop Education Technology for Refugees
There are growing bodies of literature that explore strategies for decolonising education technology (EdTech) and the role of EdTech in emergencies. Yet, scholars have noted the paucity of literature that considers the use of EdTech in refugee contexts, let alone from a decolonial lens. Indeed, the varied and unstable nature of displacement scenarios may give rise to questions around whether EdTech is appropriate at all in some displacement scenarios, and if it is, whether alternative access routes to it may need to be considered to ensure equitable benefit.
