Kassamali-Fox, Ayshah, Fredrik Christiansen, Laura J. May-Collado, Eric A. Ramos, and Beth A. Kaplin. "Tour boats affect the activity patterns of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Bocas del Toro, Panama." PeerJ 8 (March 30, 2020): e8804. http://dx.doi.org/10.7717/peerj.8804.
Full textAbstract:
Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) of the Bocas del Toro archipelago are targeted by the largest boat-based cetacean watching operation in Panama. Tourism is concentrated in Dolphin Bay, home to a population of resident dolphins. Previous studies have shown that tour boats elicit short-term changes in dolphin behavior and communication; however, the relationship of these responses to the local population’s biology and ecology is unclear. Studying the effects of tour boats on dolphin activity patterns and behavior can provide information about the biological significance of these responses. Here, we investigated the effects of tour boat activity on bottlenose dolphin activity patterns in Bocas del Toro, Panama over 10 weeks in 2014. Markov chain models were used to assess the effect of tour boats on dolphin behavioral transition probabilities in both control and impact scenarios. Effect of tour boat interactions was quantified by comparing transition probabilities of control and impact chains. Data were also used to construct dolphin activity budgets. Markov chain analysis revealed that in the presence of tour boats, dolphins were less likely to stay socializing and were more likely to begin traveling, and less likely to begin foraging while traveling. Additionally, activity budgets for foraging decreased and traveling increased as an effect of tour boat presence. These behavioral responses are likely to have energetic costs for individuals which may ultimately result in population-level impacts. Boat operator compliance with Panamanian whale watching regulations is urgently needed to minimize potential long-term impacts on this small, genetically distinct population and to ensure the future viability of the local tourism industry.

Tanjung Puting National Park is a natural wildlife park with a positively increasing trend in the number of visitors. The transportation which is utilized in Sekonyer river is ‘klotok’ boat, a traditional tour boat modified from a fishing boat. The design of a fiberglass-based tour boat is needed to accommodate the limitation of Kalimantan’s logs, which become the main structural components of klotok and to comply with the technical characteristic of the river. The purpose of this study is to obtain the optimum main dimensions of the fiberglass-based tour boat and its hull form design. The method performed to obtain the main dimension of the boat is non-linear optimization with the help of solver in Microsoft Excel software. The process of boat’s hull design is done by line distortion approach where the shape of a reference boat’s hull is conformed to a particular size and hydrodynamical coefficients, which are obtained from the optimization process. The result of optimization process is the main dimension of the boat (Lpp = 12.23 m, B = 2.70 m, H = 1.14 m, T = 0.80 m and Cb = 0.55). By conducting a series of calculations, the obtained value of the total boat’s resistance worths 2,427 N. Therefore, the number of boat’s power needed is less than the power of existing boats. The boat’s hull also complies with technical requirements and regulations, which are freeboard and intact stability.

Full textAbstract:
Short-term measures of behavioural responses of cetaceans to tourism operations have been used in many studies to interpret and understand potential long-term impacts of biological importance. The short-beaked common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) is the species most frequently observed in the Azores and constitutes an important component of the marine mammal tourism industry in this region. This study investigated the potential effects of tour boats on the behaviour of common dolphins off São Miguel, Azores, with particular focus on the changes in activity budget and the time required to resume activities after a tour boat interaction. Behavioural data were collected from land using a group focal-follow methodology. Markov chains were applied to analyse control and interaction sequences and to assess behavioural transition probabilities in both scenarios. In the presence of tour boats, dolphins significantly reduced the time spent foraging and increased the time engaged in other high energy activities. Dolphins also took significantly longer to resume feeding after an interaction occurred. The average bout length varied significantly between control and interaction scenarios, with foraging bouts being shorter during tour boats interactions. The results presented have management implications since feeding is a biologically critical activity. Disruption of foraging behaviour could lead to a decrease in energy intake for this population. With cetacean tourism likely to increase in the future, a precautionary approach to issuing new licences is advisable and any expansion would warrant an appropriate monitoring programme.

Full textAbstract:
Coastal waters are being subjected to underwater noise generated by increasing numbers of leisure and tour boats. Such noise has the potential to impair the hearing of neighbouring bottlenose dolphins, particularly as the noise from several distributed boats could summate at the point of reception. This potential has been assessed by comparing small boat noise, recorded over a range of 8–532 m, with noise that is known to induce hearing impairment in the form of a temporary threshold shift (TTS) or permanent threshold shift (PTS). Extrapolation of broadband boat noise levels yielded a minimum source sound pressure level of 156 dB re 1μPa at 1 m. An equal-energy model for TTS-onset predicted that boat noise could induce a TTS after 1 hour's exposure at 1.3 m and after 8 hours' exposure at 2.3 m. These distances increased with additional adjacent boats. Leisure boats are unlikely to induce a PTS, even at close range.

Given the difficulties and costs often associated with surveying cetaceans, enlisting members of the public to collect data offers a promisingalternative approach. Comparison of cetacean ‘participatory science’ (also known as ‘citizen science’) data with data collected during traditionalscientific studies helps reveal the strengths and weaknesses of a participatory science approach. With a large number of vessel operators on thewater throughout the year, including dolphin-oriented tour boats, the Hawaiian Islands offer an ideal study site to employ such a dual-methodcomparison. The study aimed to enhance understanding of nearshore dolphin distributions relative to bathymetry. Operators of tour and fishingvessels within the shallow Maui Nui basin of the Hawaiian Islands were recruited to report delphinid sightings. Researchers conducted standarddolphin surveys within the same region. The participatory science approach was successful in generating a large sample size of sightings from fivedifferent species. Findings here demonstrate the potential value of participatory science and of using a multimethod approach to infer odontocetedistribution trends relative to bathymetry in areas where both methods are feasible. Important refinements for future projects are highlighted.

Full textAbstract:
An increasing number of visitors to Juneau, AK, alongside a predictable population of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae), has supported the substantial growth of its whale-watching industry. The industry provides benefits to the community through economic gains, while the experience can foster environmental awareness and support for protection of whales and the environment. However, the sustainability of the industry could be jeopardized if increasing whale-watching vessel pressure affects the health of its resource, the whales. This study investigates whether participation in whale-watching tours in Juneau, AK can support conservation of whales and the environment. Participant knowledge, attitudes, intentions, and behaviors were obtained from 2,331 respondents in surveys before, after, and 6 months after a whale-watching tour during the 2016 and 2017 seasons. Following a whale watch, the percentage of participants that indicated whale watching as a knowledge source increased (p = 0.022), awareness of guidelines and regulations doubled (p < 0.001), and strong support for regulations increased (p = 0.016). Six months later, these responses remained significantly higher than before the whale watch. Despite knowledge of distance threshold increasing after a whale watch (p = 0.003) and 6 months after (p = 0.021), getting close to whales remained an important factor in a participant's whale watch. Participants had a higher likelihood of strongly supporting guidelines and regulations if they indicated that boats can have a negative impact on whales or were aware of guidelines and regulations. Lastly, participants that acknowledged negative effects on whales from boats had higher overall proenvironmental attitudes. This study indicates that incorporating messages that facilitate participant awareness of guidelines/regulations and the purpose of those measures can support conservation and protection of local whale populations through managing participant expectations and ultimately encouraging operator compliance.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn October 1898, the Italian vice-consul in Alexandria charged a group of Italians with participating in an anarchist plot to attack German Emperor Wilhelm II during his planned tour through Egypt and Palestine. This collective arrest produced unexpected outcomes, left a trail of multi-lingual documents, and illuminated specific forms of late nineteenth-century Mediterranean migration. Anarchists were among those who frequently crossed borders and they were well aware of and connected to what was happening elsewhere: they sent letters, circulated manifestos, raised and transported money, and helped fugitive comrades. They maintained nodes of subversion and moved along circuits of solidarity. Similarly, diplomats of Europe, Cairo, Istanbul, and local consular officials operated across borders and cooperated to hunt anarchists down. By following people who were on the move on boats, in post offices, and in taverns, I make a methodological and historiographical argument. First, I examine the Mediterranean as a space of flows and show how theMaghreb/Mashreqdivide in Middle Eastern history has concealed webs and connections. Because anarchists and authorities acted on multiple fronts simultaneously, so must scholarship of this part of the world take account of several histories at once. Second, I look beyond the micro-macro binary to emphasize the interconnections and mutual implications of the micro, the macro, and everything in between. I highlight competing, intersecting, and even contradictory trajectories of some of these anarchist migrants’ belonging. As the affair of the bombs unfolded, all of these contradictions and scales of analysis became visible at once.

A trend toward waterborne cultural and eco-tourism is developing in Louisiana. This article reports upon a project in 2003-2004 that produced a traditional boat for service as a touring vessel on the Bayou Vermilion, in the vicinity of Lafayette. The decision to build an authentic traditional boat for tours on the Bayou Vermilion was motivated, in part, by a desire to help conserve local folk traditions. From pirogues to oyster schooners, boats have long figured prominently in the lives of residents of coastal, wetland, and riverine Louisiana. As a folk craft based in wood carpentry, Louisiana boat building supported many commercial and recreational activities over the years, but wooden boat production declined during the second half of the twentieth century. Today, few artisans acquire the skills to master wooden boat construction; thus, a symbol of traditional Louisiana life is endangered.

Taman benteng Vastenburg merupakan bagian tak terpisahkan dari destinasi wisata sejarah di kota Surakarta. Salah satu bagian terpenting taman benteng Vastenburg adalah keberadaan Parit/Selokan yang berbentuk melingkar. Fungsi Parit yang sebenarnya pada jaman kolonial belanda dulu adalah untuk pengamanan Pemerintahan Belanda dari serangan musuh. Fungsi itu saat ini sudah tidak ada lagi seiring tidak berfungsinya benteng sebagai bangunan pertahanan. Kondisi parit saat ini sudah tidak terpelihara lagi, talut banyak yang rusak, dasar parit sudah kering ,tidak berair, banyak sampah, dan ditumbuhi semak. Lokasi Benteng yang berada di pusat kota (pusat perkantoran dan perdagangan) sangat strategis untuk dikembangkan menjadi pusat wisata kota. Disamping wisata sejarah, komplek benteng Vastenburg bisa juga dikolaborasikan dengan wisata yang moderen, salah satunya ialah wisata air. Wisata air banyak macamnya, diantaranya adalah wisata perahu, pasar apung, kolam pancing, kolam renang, dan kolam luncur. Untuk lokasi parit benteng vastenburg yang paling cocok adalah wisata perahu. Wisata perahu ini bisa digabung dengan wisata kolam renang dan kolam luncur yang bisa dibangun disekitar bangunan benteng. Dengan dihidupkannya wisata sejarah benteng dengan wisata air dan sekaligus didukung oleh fasilitas perdagangan dan perkantoran di sekelilingnya, komplek benteng vastenburg akan bisa menjadi pusat rekreasi kota yang hidup dan ramai pengunjung.

Abstract
Vastenburg Fort Park is an integral part of historical tourist destinations in the city of Surakarta. One of the most important parts of the Vastenburg Fort Park is the existence of the Moat / Gutter which is circular in shape. The actual function of the Trench in the Dutch colonial era was to protect the Dutch Government from enemy attacks. This function is now no longer in existence due to the dysfunction of the fort as a defensive building. The condition of the ditch is no longer maintained, the gutters are damaged, the bottom of the trench is dry, no water, lots of garbage, and overgrown with shrubs. The location of the fort, which is in the city center (the center of offices and trade), is very strategic to be developed into a city tourism center. Besides historical tourism, the Vastenburg Fort complex can also be collaborated with modern tours, one of which is water tourism. There are many kinds of water tourism, including boat tours, floating markets, fishing ponds, swimming pools, and sliding pools. For the location of the vastenburg fort moat it is most suitable for a boat tour. This boat tour can be combined with a swimming pool tour and a slide that can be built around the fort. With the historical fortifications turned on with water tours and at the same time supported by the surrounding trade and office facilities, the vastenburg fort complex will become the center of the city's vibrant recreation and bustling with visitors.

Located in the south of Ural, Perm Krai, apart from mineral resources and well-developed industry, can boast vast areas that lend themselves to active and qualified tourism, with the quality of an amateur sport. The development of these forms of tourism often requires large expenditure needed for adjusting the space to various types of activity. It also requires a correlation between a given character of the space and the preferred form of tourism, which often leads to environmental conflicts between the development of tourism and nature protection. The article presents the most important elements of the tourism potential in Perm Krai, as well as the sports tourism development perspectives in the context of real and potential environmental conflicts.

Fishing tourism is one of the modern types of tourism that is aimed at meeting the needs of a certain segment of tourists in fishing. This type of tourism is organized by special enterprises to favorable places for fishing. Fishing tours in most cases include specialized services such as: fishing license, tackle rental, boat rental, instruction and joint fishing with a qualified fishing guide, as well as services aimed at preserving and preparing the fish caught. Such countries as Finland, Norway, Egypt, Namibia, South Africa, Iceland, Sweden, Slovakia, Thailand and Israel occupy high positions in the international market of fishing tourism and are famous for their fish resources. As for fishing tourism in Russia, the demand for fishing tourism is currently increasing. Tourist companies are engaged in expanding the geography of fishing tours and improving the quality of service, which affects the increase in demand for this type of tour. The analysis of the potential of the Astrakhan region, carried out in the article, allowed us to identify opportunities for the development of organizational fishing tourism.

Full textAbstract:
The term ‘hospitality’ has long been linked to accommodation providers and eateries, but the wider range of hospitality, and hospitable experiences, has received little attention from academics and practitioners alike. Although tourism and hospitality are undeniably linked, Lynch [1] notes that “in tourism, there is a curious neglect of welcome given its associations with the idea of universal hospitality” (p. 174). To this end, we argue that hospitality goes well beyond food and accommodation alone, and includes any host-tourist interactions, such as those between guides and tour participants.
Participants aboard nature-based marine tours are expecting to learn [2]. However, the guide's ability to 'connect' with their audience and provide quality learning experiences is not part of an industry standard. As a result, the expertise and personality of guides varies, as do their duties and their levels of training. Learning is a critical component of nature-based tours, thus placing significant responsibility on the guide in the creation of a hospitable experience. For nature-based wildlife tour operators in New Zealand (and globally), in many cases guide training efforts are a choice left up to the operators. While individual operators' needs may vary, previous hospitality research suggests that beyond fulfilling visitor expectations, appropriate training not only benefits guests, but also increases workplace satisfaction [3]. This paper discusses the need for guide training in increasing the hospitable experience aboard nature-based wildlife tours.
Through data captured in self-administered visitor surveys, we explored over 400 participants' perceptions of guide abilities related to a hospitable, or pleasant, experience [4]. Tour participants on swim-with wild dolphins tours were asked to rate the importance of items related to their on-tour experience. All items were rated on a five-point scale. Over 93% of the respondents thought that having a knowledgeable and helpful boat crew was important, and more specifically over 90% felt having a knowledgeable guide on board was important. Likewise, the majority of participants identified the importance of learning about various subjects, such as the natural environment (69%) and threats to marine life (66%) – a responsibility that falls to the guides and crew. Being able to understand the safety rules was of near comparable importance to the learning experience desires (86%), as was the cleanliness of the vessel (85%). Our findings demonstrated that in order to create a hospitable experience, marine tour guides must fulfil dual roles as crew and naturalists. The high values placed on educational and safety information emphasise the critical role of knowledgeable guides/crew aboard nature-based tours. While it is apparent that many guides take pride in their work, with many furthering their knowledge during their personal time, the findings from our study highlight the importance of the guide's role in the overall visitor experience.
While some tour components, such as the safety messages, are matters of legal compliance (and clearly were of high importance to participants as well), other components such as fulfilling the educational desires of visitors should be carefully considered by operators. Our findings show that visitors place a high importance on tour components that are directly related to a guide's performance, personality and abilities. Options for operators include requiring a minimum qualification for guides (e.g., a bachelor's degree in a related field) and/or an investment in continuing and specialised education. In conclusion, guide training on the natural environment and conservation as well as vessel/marine safety is essential. More specifically, this means that operators stand to benefit from guide training that reaches beyond the factual information and includes interpretation techniques. This may seem like a large investment for operators; however, the findings from this research indicate that visitor satisfaction is dependent upon this investment. The role of guides aboard nature-based wildlife tours is central to the overall hospitable experience.

We collected data on the distribution of fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) and minke whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) in the Bay of Fundy, Canada from a whale-watching vessel during commercial tours between July and September 2002. A single observer recorded the positions, species, numbers and surface activity of whales encountered during boat tours. We controlled for biased search effort by calculating sightings rates for both species in cells measuring 2′ latitude by 2′ longitude throughout the study area. Sightings rates were calculated by dividing the number of sightings of fin and minke whales in each cell by the number of visits by the tour boat to that cell. We used generalized additive models and generalized linear models to examine the influence of benthic topography on whale distribution patterns. Models showed a non-linear relationship for minke whale sighting rates with increasing benthic slopes and a linear relationship for minke and fin whale sightings rates with increasing water depth. Sightings of minkes were concentrated in areas subject to tidal wakes near the northern tips of Grand Manan and Campobello Island. Fin whales were also found off the northern tip of Grand Manan but sighting rates for this species were highest in areas with less benthic sloping topography adjacent to the relatively deep Owen Basin. Foraging was recorded during 87% of all whale encounters and our results indicate that whale distribution in this area is likely to be influenced by depth, bottom topography and fine scale oceanographic features that facilitate foraging.

The ventilatory response to several minutes of hypoxia consists of various time-dependent phenomena, some of which occur during hypoxia (e.g., short-term depression), whereas others appear on return to normoxia (e.g., posthypoxic frequency decline). Additional phenomena can be elicited by acute, intermittent hypoxia (e.g., progressive augmentation, long-term facilitation). Current data suggest that these phenomena originate centrally. We tested the hypothesis that carotid body afferent activity undergoes time-dependent modulation, consistent with a direct role in these ventilatory phenomena. Using an in vitro rat carotid body preparation, we found that 1) afferent activity declined during the first 5 min of severe (40 Torr Po2), moderate (60 Torr Po2), or mild (80 Torr Po2) hypoxia; 2) after return to normoxia (100 Torr Po2) and after several minutes of moderate or severe hypoxia, afferent activity was transiently reduced compared with prehypoxic levels; and 3) with successive 5-min bouts of mild, moderate, or severe hypoxia, afferent activity during bouts increased progressively. We call these phenomena sensory hypoxic decline, sensory posthypoxic decline, and sensory progressive augmentation, respectively. These phenomena were stimulus specific: similar phenomena were not seen with 5-min bouts of normoxic hypercapnia (100 Torr Po2 and 50–60 Torr Pco2) or hypoxic hypocapnia (60 Torr Po2 and 30 Torr Pco2). However, bouts of either normoxic hypercapnia or hypocapnic hypoxia resulted in sensory long-term facilitation. We suggest time-dependent carotid body activity acts in parallel with central mechanisms to shape the dynamics of ventilatory responses to respiratory chemostimuli.

« L'égalité, parce que la liberté ne peut subsister sans elle … » réclamait Rousseau. Lorsqu'il pense la Révolution, tout philosophe politique voudrait tenir tous les bouts de la chaîne qui relie l'éthique au politique. L'ouvrage récent de Kai Nielsen, qui propose la thèse de l'égalitarisme radical comme nerf du processus d'institution de la cité juste, ne manque précisément pas de se confronter aux problèmes concomitants des relations entre égalité et liberté. Le philosophe albertain s'y montre comme à l'accoutumée cet humaniste sensible et généreux dont la « raison et la pratique » sont orientées par l'idéal égalitaire. Le credo (belief) fondamental auquel il nous dit souscrire: « the interests of every one matter and matter equally », serait pour Nielsen comme le postulat indispensable à la relance du contrat social démocratique. Etre un égalitariste radical signifierait, si j'ai bien compris les implications de son discours, que Ton s'engage dans la cause du bien, que l'on croit à l'homme socialiste, vertueux et perfectible de même qu'au renouvellement des rapports sociaux dans l'équité. C'est aussi et surtout soutenir la force émancipatoire de l'égalité civile, sociale et politique, ou, autrement dit, dans les termes de Nielsen, supputer que l'égalité des conditions, conçue tout ensemble «comme un but et comme un droit», une fois inscrite dans les structures, dans les institutions sociales, déterminera la véritable liberté, celle de tous et de chacun au sein des rapports intersubjectifs et sociaux. Enfin, c'est penser que ce concept d'égalité ainsi réévalué jouerale rôle de condition nécessaire et suffisante pour changer le moi, le monde et la vie. Equality and Liberty est un vivant plaidoyer en faveur de la dignite morale autant que de l'efficace socialiste d'un modèle politique, l'égalitarisme radical, tel que Nielsen se le représente.

Full textAbstract:
Until Childe Harold's Pilgrimage (1812–18), Byron was on the edge of fame. He broke this barrier through his European Tour (1809–11) which provided inspiration for the famous poem. Whilst extending social boundaries, through his meeting with Ali Pasha, Byron expanded the itinerary of the traditional ‘Grand Tour’ to include land, like Albania, previously unmarked by British boots. Byron mirrors his pioneering travel practices in his fiction. On the edges of Childe Harold are footnotes that cover anthropological, topographical, and autobiographical ground, advancing cultural understanding of areas either neglected or misrepresented by previous writers. I argue that, through revisions of these footnotes, Byron sought to dispel and correct myths relating to obscure European nations, perpetuated by ‘irresponsible’ accounts of previous travellers and in doing so strove to educate his readership on the benefits of informed, reasoned debates, built on empirical knowledge. This article establishes a link between Byron's poetry and politics to assess how far his demand for objectivity in literature bled into his political ambitions.

✓ A subarachnoid catheter (SAC) technique of continuous intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is presented and compared to intraventricular catheters (IVC's) and subarachnoid bolts (SAB's) in 40 neurosurgical patients. Thirty-one patients were monitored simultaneously with SAC's and IVC's and nine patients with SAC's and SAB's, and the ICP waveforms and measurements were compared. The duration of monitoring ranged from 15 hours to 11 days, and the initial ICP from 2 to 117 torr. A total of 42 SAC's were placed; two that entered brain parenchyma were redirected. One SAC placement was associated with an intracerebral hematoma. There were no infections. For the 31 patients with SAC's and IVC's, there were 2706 pairs of ICP measurements with a mean difference of −0.12 torr and a standard deviation of 5.29 torr. The waveforms from the SAC's and IVC's were indistinguishable. For the nine patients with SAC's and SAB's, there were 773 pairs of ICP measurements with a mean difference of 1.24 torr and a standard deviation of 32.83 torr. The SAB waveforms were of varying quality and all dampened with time. The paired t-test (ts) demonstrated no statistically significant difference between SAC's and IVC's (ts = −1.19). An analysis of variance demonstrated the scatter of the measurements obtained from SAB's to be 38.5 times that of SAC's, p < 0.00005. The SAB is shown to be relatively inaccurate with a wide range of variance, while the SAC is demonstrated to be an accurate, reliable, and safe method of continuous ICP measurement and an acceptable alternative to ventriculostomy.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose: There is tremendous potential for vibrant township tourism in Zimbabwe. The country boasts an abundance of township tourism resources such as monuments of colonial history, administrative centers, informal sector activities, co-existence of traditional and modern cuisine, art and craft centers, community markets, iconic personalities and buildings, and others. Despite this rich heritage of tourism resources, township tourism has failed to attract a critical mass of clients to make it viable thereby depriving the country of potential revenue of this form of alternative tourism. Keeping this in mind, the main objective of the study was to develop a model for packaging and popularising township tourism in Zimbabwe.
Method: The study adopted a qualitative methodology. Data were collected from Tour operators, residents, and Zimbabwe Tourism Authority through participant observations and in-depth interviews. Data were analyzed using a thematic approach.
Results: The study revealed key challenges to the growth of township tourism being lack of finance, lack of support from authorities, illegal operators, and limited access to markets, stringent operational laws, and poor understanding of the concept. Furthermore, tour operators and residents were of the view that information should be disseminated through publicity associations, using brochures and travel shows to aid in popularising township tourism. Respondents highlighted the need for educating all stakeholders on township tourism and creating mutual relationships.
Implications: Recommendations included stakeholder involvement and tour operators’ in-depth knowledge of iconic tourism resources in the township. It further recommends a strategic partnership with international tour operators offering township tourism.

It has river grade approximately about 2 – 3 where the difficulty for rafting for beginner is still doable. Therefore, rafting in Pinus Camp can be made for tourist attraction. However, it is inevitable that having an activity in a wild nature can cause risk threatening the tourists’ safety. But, if it is done by maximum preparation as possible, it can minimize the unwanted risk. This research aim is to know the rafting activity in Pinus Camp and the implementation of Occupational Health and Safety (K3) on rafting in Pinus Camp as attraction in Badeng river. To collect the data of this research are observation, interview, and documentation. In analyzing used of this is a qualitative descrptive the tourism development and the influence of tourism development toward the physical environment.
To have a ruslt of the research related to rafting in Pinus Camp are 3 activities, those are; Rafting, Tubing, and Riverboarding. For rafting and tubing, there are 4 trip packages, those are; long trip package, wonderful trip package, fun trip package and education trip. And for the riverboarding, it doesn’t have any packages yet because the activity is only used for the Pinus Camp guides.

Full textAbstract:
As a green city, Surabaya had been developing a program of an environmentally friendly concept in almost all sectors. One of the developed sectors with this concept is the tourism area around the Kalimas river. Tour by riding a small passenger leisure boat is the most favorite recreational option. The leisure boat designs with environmentally friendly solar-powered concepts were developed, but regarding PV power and battery capacity determination, almost all designs are not optimal. This research is aimed to obtain the optimal PV power and battery capacity by calculating the number of PV panels and batteries with minimum cost. A Linear programming approach by Simplex method is applied in the optimization calculation. The results show that the number of the battery of the previous design can be reduced from 4 (four) units (20 kWh) becomes 3 (three) units (15 kWh) and the number of PV panels are still the same number with the previous one, i.e., 7 (seven) units (2,24 kW). The optimum system cost is around 264 million rupiahs, which means that the cost is reducing around 81 million rupiahs or 24%.

The socialization program for team cohesiveness was carried out at the Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis) of Mojo Village. This Pokdarwis has just been formed and has a role in managing boat tours and star fruit plantation tourism owned by Mojo Village. Boat tours and star fruit gardens are the mainstay of Mojo Village. The socialization for team cohesiveness was carried out with 33 people targeting the entire Pokdarwis group. Outbound activities are carried out indoors and outdoors for one full day. The purpose of outbound activities is to build the work of the Pokdarwis team as a whole and foster motivation among Pokdarwis members. The success of the socialization program was seen from the enthusiasm of Pokdarwis during outbound and through filling out questionnaires from members of Pokdarwis. Pokdarwis members have internal motivation that is better than external motivation. Internal motivation leads to self-motivation of Pokdarwis members, while external motivation refers to factors outside oneself. The results of data processing indicate that Pokdarwis Mojo also has good team cohesiveness. Compact teamwork and strong self motivation are very much needed by Pokdarwis in developing tourism in Mojo Village.

Abstract. Glacier calving can cause violent tsunami waves which, upon landfall, can cause severe destruction. Here we present data acquired during a calving event from Eqip Sermia, an ocean-terminating glacier in west Greenland. During an exceptionally well-documented event, the collapse of 9 × 105 m3 ice from a 200 m high ice cliff caused a tsunami wave of 50 m height, traveling at a speed of 25–33 m s−1. This wave was filmed from a tour boat at 800 m distance from the calving face, and simultaneously measured with a terrestrial radar interferometer and a tide gauge. Tsunami wave run-up height on the steep opposite shore at a distance of 4 km was 10–15 m, destroying infrastructure and eroding old vegetation. These observations indicate that such high tsunami waves are a recent phenomenon in the history of this glacier. Analysis of the data shows that only moderately bigger tsunami waves are to be expected in the future, even under rather extreme scenarios.

Time-dependent ventilatory responses to hypoxic and hypercapnic challenges, such as posthypoxic frequency decline (PHxFD) and posthypercapnic frequency decline (PHcFD), could profoundly affect breathing stability. However, little is known about the mechanisms that mediate these phenomena. To determine the contribution of specific carotid body chemostimuli to PHxFD and PHcFD, we developed a novel in situ arterially perfused, vagotomized, decerebrate rat preparation in which central and peripheral chemoreceptors are perfused separately (i.e., a nonanesthetized in situ dual perfused preparation). We confirmed that 1) the perfusion of central and peripheral chemoreceptor compartments was independent by applying specific carotid body hypoxia and hypercapnia before and after carotid sinus nerve transection, 2) the Pco2 chemoresponse of the dual perfused preparation was similar to other decerebrate preparations, and 3) the phrenic output was stable enough to allow investigation of time-dependent phenomena. We then applied four 5-min bouts (separated by 5 min) of specific carotid body hypoxia (40 Torr Po2 and 40 Torr Pco2) or hypercapnia (100 Torr Po2 and 60 Torr Pco2) while holding the brain stem Po2 and Pco2 constant. We report the novel finding that specific carotid body chemostimuli were sufficient to elicit several phrenic time-dependent phenomena in the rat. Hypoxic challenges elicited PHxFD that increased with bout, leading to progressive augmentation of the phrenic response. Conversely, hypercapnia elicited short-term depression and PHcFD, neither of which was bout dependent. These results, placed in the context of previous findings, suggest multiple physiological mechanisms are responsible for PHxFD and PHcFD, a redundancy that may illustrate that these phenomena have significant adaptive advantages.
