Designing and evaluating Technology-Enabled Sustainable Tourism Offerings: A case study of Virtual Reality conferences
Global sustainability transitions and the rise of emerging technologies present both threats and opportunities for tourism organisations to navigate. Yet no framework currently exists that provides guidance on how to identify the value of emerging technologies for specific tourism offerings, and how to design, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of technology integration. This topic is explored through a case study of the integration of soc…
A One-Stop Shop Platform Supporting Primary Care Providers Diagnosing, Managing, and Navigating Patients Living with Chronic Conditions
Background: Primary care is the cornerstone of integrated care models for managing chronic conditions, offering continuous, comprehensive, and coordinated care. Primary care providers (PCPs) focus on preventive care, early intervention, and ongoing monitoring, which are key to managing chronic conditions and preventing complications. For that, PCPs needs to adhere to quality standards and be experts in navigating their patients not only through t…

Perception of beach safety at a destination beach on the Great Lakes
Surf‐related drowning fatalities are a public health concern in the Great Lakes region of North America, and within Canada there are few beaches with lifeguards and no regional beach safety strategy. This short paper presents the results of a survey completed in the northern hemisphere summer of 2022 to determine the perceptions of beach users at Station Beach in Kincardine, Ontario, a popular tourist beach town on Lake Huron. Results suggest tha…
The Effectiveness of Dynamically Processed Incremental Descriptions in Human Robot Interaction
We explore the effectiveness of a dynamically processed incremental referring description system using under-specified ambiguous descriptions that are then built upon using linguistic repair statements, which we refer to as a dynamic system. We build a dynamically processed incremental referring description generation system that is able to provide contextual navigational statements to describe an object in a potential real-world situation of nuc…
Textbook dune: Is there a representative and scale‐invariant beach‐dune profile
The Coastal Dune Model, used to examine controls on dune development and evolution, includes negative feedback between the wind and the evolving topography that results in a scale‐invariant beach‐dune profile. While a limited number of reference profiles appear to support the Coastal Dune Model assumption of scale‐invariance, previously published studies and conceptual models suggest that the beach‐dune profile is not scale‐invariant. Using a com…
The Field Geomorphologist in a Time of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
An increasing number of papers incorporate machine learning (ML) approaches to analyze spatially and temporally rich data sets in geomorphology. These data-driven approaches have the potential to significantly improve our understanding of complex systems across a range of scales and support the development of new theories of landform and landscape development that can eventually be incorporated into predictive models. Coupled with the growing ava…

The Integration of Mental Health Care in Rural Iran
Iran’s rural mental health care system emerged in a context that included experiments in health care prior to the 1979 Revolution and the establishment of a primary health care (PHC) system after the Revolution. Beginning in the 1980s, Iran integrated mental health care into the existing PHC system by treating mental illness much like a communicable disease. Iran advanced treatment options compatible with the existing system, added new training f…

Ritual Deposition
The nature of sacred space and forms of ritual expression varied tremendously across Roman Britain, and our understanding of some aspects has increased significantly in recent years, both because there have been a number of new excavations and/or publications and also because a more contextual view has been taken of the evidence. This chapter provides an overview of the practice of Romano-British ritual deposition, both within and outside of expl…
