Destination branding: a qualitative analysis of Bournemouth's projected image as a UK seaside resort by Panousi, Sofia

“…Semi-structured interviews were used with 25 tourism marketers from various tourism organisations of Bournemouth as the primary data source supplemented by the textual and visual content analysis of the tourism brochures and the tourism promotional website of Bournemouth to provide a fuller picture of this rather complex destination image phenomenon. The findings reveal that the effective promotional factors that tourism marketers use in order to advance the resort’s projected tourism image are the promotion of multiple images, the positive diverse slogans, the resort’s tourism promotional website and its complex brand identity. …”

Thematic analysis without paradox: sensemaking and context by Ozuem, Wilson, Willis, Michelle, Howell, Kerry

“…Consequently, the authors provide a level of validity for thematic analysis through emphasising a specific methodological approach based on ontological and epistemological positions. Findings: Contrary to the common mantra from contemporary qualitative researchers who claim thematic analysis is often based on a static and enduring approach, the current paper highlights the dynamic nature of a thematic analytic approach and offers a deeper understanding of the ways in which researchers can use the right approach to understand the emerging complex data context. …”

An epigenetic locus associated with loss of smell in COVID-19 by Aslan, Elif Sibel, White, Kenneth, Meral, Gulsen, Akcay, Zeyneb Nur, Altundag, Aytug, Gur, Savas, Dokur, Mehmet, Baktir, Mehmet Akif, Batur, Lutfiye Karcioglu

“…Results: Using quantitative analysis, we found significantly lower levels of DNA methylation in the UGT1A1 locus in the anosmia group compared to the normosmia group, with a 14% decrease in median methylation values in patients with smell loss (p < 0.0001). These findings highlight potential epigenomic alterations in the UGT1A1 gene that may contribute to the pathogenesis of anosmia following COVID-19 infection. …”

Application of a new choline-imidazole based deep eutectic solvents in hybrid magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer for efficient and selective removal of naproxen from aqueous... by Husin, Nor Aniisah, Muhamad, Musthahimah, Yahaya, Noorfatimah, Miskam, Mazidatulakmam, Nik Mohamed Kamal, Nik Nur Syazni, Asman, Saliza, Raoov, Muggundha, Mohamad Zain, Nur Nadhirah

“…The Fe3O4@MIP-ChCl-BuIM removed more naproxen (93.2–97.1%) than Fe3O4@MIP without ChCl-BuIM (83.2–88.9%). This finding confirms that the use of ChCl-BuIM improved both the selectivity and affinity of the MIP adsorbent towards naproxen. …”

A Sustainable Approach for Removing Organic Pollutants from Food Processing Effluents Using Unmodified Cocopeat as an Adsorbent by Nur Adila Ab Aziz, Nur Adila Ab Aziz, Fatin Najihah Ruslan, Fatin Najihah Ruslan, Wesam Al Madhoun, Wesam Al Madhoun

“…Besides, the maximum adsorption capacity achieved by unmodified cocopeat towards SS (1.5-14.0 mg/g), COD (16.88-17.75 mg/g), NH3-N (0.31-0.32 mg/g) and TP (1.46-1.50 mg/g) are comparable to the adsorption capacities reported by previous researchers. This finding suggests that cocopeat could potentially replace the commercially developed adsorbents for the treatment. …”
