Academic literature on the topic 'Superior amenities'

A follow-up study of 17 old long-stay psychiatric patients resettled in private facilities for the elderly is reported. Resident satisfaction with the placement and functioning (using the CAPE Behaviour Rating Scale) was assessed, together with the quality of the physical and social environment, and the regime characteristics in the establishments. All residents were satisfied with life and their functioning had improved significantly. The private facilities were more resident-orientated, and had a generally superior social environment to their local authority ‘old people's home’ counterparts. The physical amenities, safety features, and architectural choice available were of a similar standard to those in local authority old people's homes, but there were fewer prosthetic and orientational aids and on-site recreational amenities.

Nowadays, terabytes of digital data are generated and sent online every second. However, securing this extent of information has always been a challenging task. Cryptography is a fundamental method for securing data, as it makes data unintelligible for attackers, offering privacy to authorized clients. Different cryptographic algorithms have different speeds and costs that make them suitable for different applications. For instance, banking applications need outrageous security amenities, as they utilize superior algorithms having greater requirements, while gaming applications focus more on speed and cost reduction. Consequently, cryptographic algorithms are chosen based on a client's prerequisites. This study compared DES, AES, Blowfish, and RSA, examining their speed, cost, and performance, and discussed their adequacy for use in wireless sensor networks and peer-to-peer communication.

Abstract This essay spotlights the development of Ontario, California, in the last decades of the nineteenth century. It demonstrates that many agricultural communities in California, particularly so-called agricultural colonies, represent a unique rural suburban type labeled here as "agriburbs." Agriburbs, such as Ontario, were communities consciously planned, developed, and promoted based on the drive for profit in emerging agricultural markets. Advertised as the perfect mix of rural and urban, they promised a superior middle-class lifestyle. On the one hand, agriburbs evoked the myths of agrarian security and virtue, a life on a farm in an environment that was good for both soil and soul. On the other hand, agriburbs were ideally urbane but not urban because of their many amenities that represented cultural symbols of modernity, refinement, and progress. An understanding of California’s agriburbs deepens an appreciation for both the growth and development of California at the turn of the twentieth century and the diversity of suburban types across the American landscape.

Five-star hotels are known by their immense competitiveness, first-class portrayal and are superior in level of extravagance, eccentricity, representation, sophistication and amenities. Slow growth of five-star hotels aggravates strong competition, thus forcing hotel businesses to be competitive. This study attempts to analyze service quality and brand awareness toward strategic competitiveness and its impact on the performance of XYZ Hotel. The study applies both quantitative and qualitative research, which were obtained from questionnaire distribution to 100 respondents who have stayed at the hotel, in-depth interview with the PR and Front Office managers, and Focus Group Discussion with managers and hotel experts from Jakarta and Tangerang. The finding suggests that service quality has no correlation with strategic competitiveness and no significant impact on performance. Thus, brand awareness was found to be the most influential factor on strategic competitiveness. However, it is necessitated that five-star hotel continuously improve the quality of its service and the factors associated with service quality.

The Hawaiian interisland cruise trade is presently served by two U.S. flag Vessels, the Constitution and the Independence. These vessels, in their 35th year, are approaching the end of their useful life and the only proposed replacement is the conversion of another existing vessel, the Monterey, which will enter the trade in 1988. As a Jones Act trade, any new replacement vessel must be built in the United States. The existing vessels employ U.S. crews and older, inefficient steam plants, but have a near zero capital cost. Any new competing vessel therefore suffers from its high initial capital (construction) cost and must provide savings in operating costs and enhanced passenger amenities to compete. In this paper, the present cruise trade is examined, and a new concept design is proposed that will meet the needs of the growing Hawaiian cruise trade, provide a superior cruise atmosphere, reduce U.S. construction costs and, perhaps, provide a competitive service. The reduction of construction cost would be obtained by a unique vessel arrangement and method of construction, whereby the base hull and machinery are built in the U.S., but the accommodation is built outside the shipyard and transported in a unique fashion to the construction site. This method would be consistent with Jones Act requirements. The concept design has been taken to sufficient detail to be compared with another new, conventionally arranged, proposed Hawaiian cruise ship.

Climate change is affecting human and geophysical systems in a variety of complex and interdependent ways. For nature-based tourism-dependent communities like those along the North Shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota, impacts to the region’s abundant natural resources can subsequently affect the livelihoods of individuals who depend upon those resources to provide essential ecosystem services and support the region’s economy. Many of the area’s natural and outdoor recreation resources are collaboratively managed, making cooperation essential to address climate change impacts. In this study, we engaged North Shore stakeholders in a climate change risk assessment process through an exploratory application of participatory geographic information systems (PGIS). Stakeholder involvement allows for the co-production of science to deliver locally-relevant data and information. Involving stakeholders through a PGIS-based climate change risk assessment process allows locally-relevant data and information to be represented and visualized spatially. We used PGIS focus groups, as well as pre- and post-surveys, to solicit stakeholders’ perceptions of risk thresholds (i.e., the time scale of impacts) and climate-related risk severity to sites with built infrastructure, natural amenities, and recreation and tourism destinations. The stakeholders’ knowledge, as well as their commitment to their communities and local environments, influenced general perceptions of region-wide climate-related vulnerabilities. The PGIS exercises generated important discussion among stakeholders and shed light on how to more efficiently collect spatially-explicit data and information from stakeholders that can be used to inform mitigation and adaptation efforts.

Topics such as computational sources and cloud-based transmission and security of big data have turned out to be a major new domain of exploration due to the exponential evolution of cloud-based data and grid facilities. Various categories of cloud services have been utilized more and more widely across a variety of fields like military, army systems, medical databases, and more, in order to manage data storage and resource calculations. Attribute-based encipherment (ABE) is one of the more efficient algorithms that leads to better consignment and safety of information located within such cloud-based storage amenities. Many outmoded ABE practices are useful for smaller datasets to produce fixed-size cryptograms with restricted computational properties, in which their characteristics are measured as evidence and stagnant standards used to generate the key, encipherment, and decipherment means alike. To surmount the existing problems with such limited methods, in this work, a dynamic nonlinear poly randomized quantum hash system is applied to enhance the safety of cloud-based information. In the proposed work, users’ attributes are guaranteed with the help of a dynamic nonlinear poly randomized equation to initialize the chaotic key, encipherment, and decipherment. In this standard, structured and unstructured big data from clinical datasets are utilized as inputs. Real-time simulated outcomes demonstrate that the stated standard has superior exactness, achieving over 90% accuracy with respect to bit change and over 95% accuracy with respect to dynamic key generation, encipherment time, and decipherment time compared to existing models from the field and literature. Experimental results are demonstrated that the proposed cloud security standard has a good efficiency in terms of key generation, encoding, and decoding process than the conventional methods in a cloud computing environment.

This thesis examines industrial welfarism in Australia from 1890 to 1965. This period witnessed the gradual spread of the welfarism movement throughout Australian industry as employers sought ways to increase productivity and control in the face of external challenges. Once reaching its peak in the immediate post-War period, the welfarism movement was gradually subsumed as part of the increasing formalisation of personnel management. Waves of interest in welfare provision coincided with periods of labour shortage and/or labour militancy in Australia, indicating its dual role in the management of labour. Firstly, by offering benefits and services beyond that made necessary by the law or industrial awards, welfarism was designed to create a pool of good quality workers for management to draw from. Secondly, managers sought to enhance their control over these workers and their productive effort, using welfarism as a technique to build worker consent to managerial authority. This could be achieved through subtle methods aimed at boosting loyalty and morale, or through more direct programs designed to increase worker dependency on the company. In both ways, individual and collective worker resistance could be minimised, thereby reinforcing managerial prerogative. Despite its adoption by a variety of companies, a number of economic, political and institutional factors limited the extent of industrial welfarism in Australia. These include the small-scale of most enterprises prior to the Second World War, state involvement in the area of industrial relations and welfare provision, and the strength of organised labour. While the welfarism movement did not reach the heights experienced overseas, it nonetheless provided an important contribution to the development of formal labour management in Australia.

Online travel agencies (OTAs) are online travel platforms like Expedia.Com, Make My Trip, Booking.com, and Travelzoo, etc., which sell travel-related products and services such as hotels, flights, travel packages, rentals, amenities, and activities to customers. OTAs work as an intermediary between suppliers and customers and help both in selling and buying the products and services. Over the period, due to technological advancement, OTAs have captured an average of 40% to 50% of the total global travel market. Users of online travel agencies are also increasing significantly as they are getting numerous benefits like saving of time and money, cheapest fares, best travel options and deals, customize packages, and superior value propositions. The present study is empirical in nature and has measured the perception and satisfaction level of uses towards various products and services of online travel agencies (OTAs).

Despite lack of meticulousness, social capital continues to occupy a central position in many discussions about community, trust and social networks. The multidimensionality and multivariate nature of social capital provides a foundation for explaining, although sometimes vaguely so, various social issues in communities and social networks. In most of the discussions in scientific work, social capital is continuously treated as either an output or an input. Researchers write about communities performing better due to higher levels of social capital, others attribute superior performance of social amenities such as national economy to the prevalence of higher social capital. Some writers mentioned the construct as a circumventing term to mean one or more of its core variables (trust, shared understanding, social protocols etc.) and their application to specific areas of interests, while others take a holistic view to describe all of its variables and their utility to addressing social problems anchored in communities. This Chapter discusses the application of social capital in a variety of contexts to solve community problems. This is by no means a complete comprehensive coverage of cases in which social capital is currently utilized, rather the cases presented here are considered sufficient to illustrate the growing relevance of social capital to many application areas. The goal of the Chapter is to expose the reader to key application areas and to think about the practical and theoretical relevance of social capital to research and practice in other emergent cases.
